Communication was spot on and questions we had were always answered in a timely manner. On the big day, everything went SO smoothly. I have to shout out Megan W. She was the BEST!

  • Photographer

  • Serves Monona, WI

My name is Elliot Stokes and I am a photographer located in the Madison, WI area, but I work all across Wisconsin and Illinois. I have been drawn to the camera since I was young, but becoming a father has really shown me the magic behind capturing the most candid and beautiful moments of our lives. I started my journey into professional photography officially in the summer of 2019 and received my Bachelors of Fine Arts degree with honors in Digital Photography in the spring of 2022. I absolutely love what I do and look forward to every new experience and opportunity this journey takes me on!

Awarded Best of Zola
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Elliot and his team! Elliot was extremely responsive throughout the entire planning process and was so helpful when it came to building and tweaking our photography timeline leading up to the big day. Elliot has such an incredible eye for editing and is a talented photographer. The photos are high-quality, professional, and beautifully capture both the big moments and all of the little candid moments throughout the day. Angela did an amazing job capturing so many of those candid moments, and we love looking back and seeing moments we didn’t even realize were happening! When Mother Nature intervened and we had to make some last-minute changes to our photo schedule, they were incredibly flexible and rolled with everything so seamlessly. Angela made us feel comfortable, natural, and—most importantly—like ourselves. She even managed to make taking photos fun when the groom isn’t exactly the biggest fan of being in front of the camera. We received sneak peeks the week of our wedding and our full gallery within about a month to six weeks. We absolutely love our photos and feel like they captured our wedding day so perfectly. We would highly recommend Elliot and his team at Developing Diamonds to any couple looking for talented, professional, flexible, and genuinely wonderful photographers!”

“It was an amazing experience working with the three amazing people we were assigned for our wedding. We booked a photographer, videographer, and DJ through this company and I don’t think I could have asked for much more than what they did for us! Finding vendors for these three jobs was very important to me as a bride because I wanted to make sure it was going to be a stress free and memorable day. I wanted to make sure everything was captured and that friends and family would have the best time possible celebrating with us. To start with our photographer Sean, he is such an amazing individual and was such a light hearted and fun energy to have. He got along with everybody and was so patient with our youngest and oldest family members. The photos we received were amazing and captured so many great moments without feeling posed. Our videographer Jason captured such great moments for us and cracked so many jokes throughout the day. Our video is absolutely amazing and was pretty close to what I had imagined before receiving it. When your videographer willingly whips out a kart wheel to show off to a group of dancers, you know he’s passionate about his job. Lastly our DJ John was the perfect DJ for our party! He was so attentive and absolutely hilarious. An amazing MC and worked with me to create several surprises throughout the night. As a dancer and perfectionist, I could not have asked for someone to have read the room any better! I never had to ask for songs to be skipped and my guests felt so comfortable to approach him with requests. I don’t know if we could ever put into words how well they worked together. Everyone that we dealt with through this company made our experience so easy to manage.”

Pat was so personable and bubbly during our first meet, my husband and I knew the second we hung up on the Zoom meeting that we were going to hire her.

Hello! My name is Brook! I am the owner and lead photographer of Forever Frozen Photography. Thank you for checking out my page! Let's jump right in! I have an amazing 4 year old son and my husband and I are newly married as of November 2022! I've been a professional photographer for about 8 years now enjoying every minute of it! My true passion when getting behind the lens is wedding photography. I pride myself in noticing the little details of special moments that happen during your wedding day, things that in maybe 30 years from now you may not remember of the day.

“Brook at Forever Frozen Photography was absolutely amazing. We really wanted to make sure our day was captured to the fullest, and Forever Frozen Photography worked hard to ensure they didn't miss a single moment. From our engagement photos to the big day, Brook's keen eye ensured every special moment was beautifully documented. As two of the most awkward people in front of a camera, Brook made us feel relaxed and natural, allowing us to truly focus on our wedding day rather than worrying about the photography. We are thrilled with the results and are so grateful to Forever Frozen Photography for their incredible service.”

I’m Sage the Magicienne. I don’t just perform magic. I use it as a powerful tool to build immediate connections, create genuine laughter, and make lifelong memories. Based in Janesville, Wisconsin, I partner with corporate event planners, wedding coordinators, and private hosts throughout Madison, Milwaukee, and the Chicago area to elevate their gatherings. Weddings can be a bit awkward, especially if both your families don't know each other well yet. My magic turns those awkward family interactions into a moment of connection. Giving both sides something to break the ice, talk about, and create a unique memory together.

“Sage performed for our Halloween party and she was fantastic! She peformed a variety of magic tricks for about 30 minutes and it was some of the best magic I've ever seen. I am, to this day, still figuring out how she performed some of the tricks! I cannot recommend her enough, if magic is what you're looking for, you've found it. Book her asap you will not regret it!”

“Old Coon Creek Inn was a fantastic venue for our wedding day. Their communication throughout the planning process was straightforward, timely, and non-ambiguous, which made it easy for us to stay on top of all the details. The quality of their work and value was outstanding - the outdoor space was beautifully maintained, had a charming, rustic feel, and was very fairly priced. We were able to visit the venue a few times to help with decision-making and planning, and they worked closely with us on the table and chair setup to have everything ready when we arrived to add our personal touches. They also recommended a wonderful on-site coordinator who was invaluable in ensuring our day ran smoothly. The flexibility they provided with vendor choices for various areas was also greatly appreciated, and because we were able to bring in a lot of our own elements, it was very cost-efficient for us. We couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else and are so grateful to the Old Coon Creek Inn team for helping make our special day perfect. Photos are by Laura Hamp from our wedding day (:”
