Gmartel Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Portage, WI

Hey, Im Grant. I'm a Madison, WI based wedding photographer who specializes in a documentary approach using both film and digital photography. If you want your wedding gallery to be uniquely yours (vs a Pinterest shotlist), then I'm your guy.

Awarded Best of Zola
WE LOVE GRANT. I can’t say it enough. I’ve been antsy for more of my friends and family to get engaged just so I can recommend Grant be their wedding photographer. We started with an engagement session with Grant, which felt just like a hang out (and that is EXACTLY what we wanted). We were dreading the engagement session, since this was our first time getting professional pictures taken, and we normally feel very awkward in front of a camera. Grant made it so easy and comfortable by playing music, joking around, asking questions, and prompting us to do certain things, so we never felt lost or posed. It also helped that Grant is hilarious- we were never told to “turn and face each other and pretend to laugh,” since we were basically naturally laughing the whole time already. For our wedding day, we hired Grant to shoot only with film, and boy did he deliver. There’s a sense of rawness and nostalgia to his film pictures, making them absolutely timeless. Each time I look through our gallery, I discover and love something new about each picture. He captured moments I didn’t even know that I wanted, but are now my favorite shots from that day. The day of your wedding, there are so many things going through your mind, so many questions being asked of you, and so many things you end up forgetting. Grant’s playful, yet confident energy constantly put me at ease. He knew when a joke was needed, when hair needed fixing, how to steam dresses (yes, he actually did that), how to deal with children, where to go and what to do at any moment, and when we just needed a break. To top it all off, Grant surprised me and my husband at the end of the night with a whole set of Polaroids he took of every big moment throughout the whole day (so thoughtful and special!!). I now have them all in a frame, illustrating our wedding so perfectly. It is VERY clear Grant is in this business because he loves it and is passionate about what he does. I was never hesitant to tell him my [particular/annoying] requests or opinions, because he was always open to hearing them and excited to take on a new challenge. I honestly wish I could just take Grant and his camera with me everywhere I go to capture all the big moments in my life. I will cherish our pictures forever, as well as our new friendship with him!

We loved our beautiful fall wedding at iron works. We lived out of state (but I'm originally from the area) and the team worked with us long distance via email and phone to get the details together for the event. After shopping around I soon realized this was the BEST spot to have a wedding in the stateline area that is connected to a hotel. There's nothing classy in Rockford, it's all run down and gross but Iron works was classy and had the right vibe and price wasn't over the top (It was still expensive but palatable). I will menton we had our actual ceremony at Nicholas Conservatory in Rockford which was amazing but Iron Works was thee place for the reception. The place is industrial but has sexy vibes with the leather and strong iron beams with a nod to the city's past. The event space was beautiful and still looks new and clean and great shape. Love the details in the decor, It was a great canvas to work with. The view from the river was lovely and loved having the outdoor space to hang out in too, especially for those who smoked. The food was wonderful. Was a little worried about the steak, the first initial tasting was decent but thinking about serving steak for such a big crowd we were skeptical it would turn out but everyone's steak was edible and warm, just cooked perfectly, it is a steak house after all. We were glad we upgraded to the filet too. We were super happy with the appetizers and main course and everything was yummy. The servers were on it. Maybe too on it, I would set my drink down and it would disappear. But overall very pleased with our experience. Everyone we worked with was polite and nice from the servers to the managers in charge, we were treated with kindness and respect. I did fly out to come view it in person just to see how they would treat me and they passed the test.. Would have been nice to know about The booking situation with blocking off rooms that another wedding venue reserved rooms so then some of our party had to go to an air Bnb instead of everyone staying there, which was the whole point of doing it there so people didn't have to drive after the reception. Also wish we could have danced later than midnight but it was in our contract to end the night at midnight. Other than that very happy our experience. It was a beautiful wedding, it went by so fast but it was an unforgettable evening. Thanks for everything.

And the drinks that Jay designed for us were amazing. The day of our wedding, Four Winds helped keep water pitchers full and spaces clean.

Harvest Moon Pond was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, the staff was incredibly timely, professional and inclusive in their communication. The beautiful, elegant and welcoming facility provided the ideal setting, with the stunning willow trees creating a magical backdrop for our ceremony. The entire staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for our special day. As a same sex couple, Stephanie and Bryan were incredibly supportive in making our day truly memorable. Our guests haven't stopped raving about the incredible venue and all it had to offer - it's truly the best barn venue in Wisconsin.

Jon did an amazing job with our photos. My husband and I are both a little camera shy and he and his wife gave us so much confidence and really felt like our friends! It was so amazing to know I had the right person taking our most important photos. They came out great and I really enjoy how creative he is with posing and lighting. Beyond the fantastic photos, he was so friendly and funny and really just added a special light to our day. 10/10!!

AB On Site Beauty

  • Beauty professional
  • Starts at $85
  • Serves Portage, WI

AB On Site Beauty is entering their third official year in business as a wedding hair and makeup company. With over 12 years of experience in the beauty industry owner Alyssa has been specializing in brides, and every year has mastered her art more and more. She now specializes in both makeup and hair artistry, and has added on an incredible team to be able to accommodate larger bridal parties.

Alyssa and her team were amazing to work with for my wedding! We did all hair and makeup at the venue and they arrived early and were ready to go. We had a large group but all bridesmaids, mothers and myself were done on time and looked amazing. Our wedding was on a particularly hot and humid day in July and everybody’s hair and makeup survived throughout the entire day. Alyssa and her team had great energy throughout the morning in the bridal suite and really made the getting ready process fun and easy. Alyssa was also on-hand to do touch-ups after my first look with my parents and groom. I would recommend AB Onsite to any bride!

I am blessed to have known the women of Creamery 201 for several years now, but even more so that I had the pleasure of getting married at their beautiful venue last weekend. My husband and I had the pleasure of working closely with Katie, Abby, and Libby throughout the wedding planning process. They truly made it so easy. There was great communication (answering my million and one questions), several meetings leading up to the big day, and assistance with decor through their decor store. On the big day, Katie and her team were attentive and helped keep everything on track. They truly treat every couple that walks through their doors like family and go above and beyond to provide such great service. My husband and I are so thrilled with our experience and couldn't be more thankful for Katie and the rest of the Creamery 201 Staff!! -- The Ehrke's
