Developing Diamonds Photography LLC 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Rio, 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
Elliot made all of our dreams come true. His professionalism and talent does not go unnoticed. He was the first vendor we booked for our wedding before we even had a venue figured out because of how much we loved his work. He is incredibly responsive to texts and emails which is so important when planning a wedding. He was very prepared for the wedding day! Elliot was able to make sure we stayed on schedule and even moved events around when needed to get the best photos possible since our wedding was outside. He went above and beyond to make our wedding run smoothly. By the end of the night, we didn't want it to end so we even extended his services by an hour which he happily made work. We even had sneak peeks by dinner time which surprised us. We could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. I am recommending him to all of my friends with weddings in the future. I can't imagine my wedding any other way. Thank you Elliot!

We loved having Hoffman House as our catering vendor! Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food and one guest even mentioned that it was the best wedding food he’s ever had! We chose the plated dinner option and had stuffed chicken caprese, baked ziti, and seared filet of sirloin as our options. And all options were delicious! We also had a slider bar as a late night snack and they were really yummy as well! We would highly recommend Hoffman house (:

We recently had our wedding at 10 South on Friday, November 1st, and the experience was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. From our initial tour to the day of the wedding and every meeting in between, the team at 10 South, especially Lindsay (Venue Manager) and Audrey (Event Manager), went above and beyond to make our day seamless. They took the stress out of planning with their coordinator packages, in-house DJ, and trusted list of preferred caterers, allowing us to fully enjoy the process. Their recommendations for furniture and decor rentals were spot on, making it easy to create the perfect atmosphere.

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.

I love love! And I believe that your wedding should be exactly what you want it to be - regardless of other peoples' opinions. Because at the end of the day, the reason we're here is because you've found the person you love the most.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ashley was the day-of coordinator for our October 2025 wedding, and she did a PHENOMENAL job. Given her role as day-of coordinator (versus wedding planner for us), we really drove the process and she helped close any gaps (of which there were many for us!). Our favorite things about working with her were: - She really cared about our vision, and executing on that. - She’s very organized and detail-oriented, and her questionnaires made us think of things we never would have thought of otherwise - She just HANDLED it on the day, with the vendors, speakers, photos, family, and more. They say that it’s hard to be present on your wedding day, but we had the best possible chance because she and her team took care of everything. It was absolutely worth it to have her coordinate our big day, and we wouldn’t hesitate at all to recommend anyone else to work with her.

We were thrilled with DJ Kenny from KJ Entertainment! His calm, upbeat communication style made planning a breeze. When bad weather forced us to move the ceremony indoors last-minute, he quickly accommodated the change. DJ Kenny brought an energetic vibe that kept guests of all ages dancing all night. He expertly mixed new hits with classics and took requests, enriching the celebration with his talent. His professional equipment and quality song selection elevated the entire event. We'd recommend KJ Entertainment for any special occasion - you'll be glad you booked them! We only wish we had also hired their videographer Nacho to capture more magical moments.

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.

What matters to you matters to us. You have a unique vision for your wedding day, and many factors go into curating the best custom wedding photography collection for you. No matter which collection you choose, you will receive our absolute best through the Collective Grace Wedding Experience. You will have access to all of your individually retouched, high resolution digital images, and you will be able to print them as much as you want, as big as you want. We provide focused, helpful, caring attention to you and your guests, capturing all the little moments that will fill your album with beautiful memories to last a lifetime.

We had an absolutely wonderful time working with Collective Grace (Kim and Karina!) for both our engagement pictures and for our whole wedding ceremony/reception!!! We had met them through a friends recommendation, and we consider ourselves so incredibly blessed with the experience we had and all the great memories captured! -They are very easy to work with and communicate with; we never felt worried about anything quite honestly. We had a smooth time planning out our wedding day and getting a mutual understanding of the timeline, places we wanted to take pictures, and what was most important to us too. They were great listeners at what we were going for, and also are a fantastic team at helping position us well and getting great shots right away. We recommend also using them for engagement photos to help get a head start on getting to know them and getting comfortable too for the big day; it worked out great in our case! -We most appreciated how they not only were able to capture great posed shots, but also did a wonderful job capturing priceless in the moment shots (that were not at all staged!). I attached one in black/white of us getting cheered at by a paddle tavern boat full of people, and we are so thankful Kim was on point to naturally capture the moment and pass it on to us forever! Throughout the reception & ceremony they were timely, on point with working with the venue/DJ, helped take care of us with a few small things, AND as a grand result we have hundreds of wonderful keeper photos! -We really felt well taken care of during our whole wedding experience, and would easily recommend working with Collective Grace to anyone!

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 at AB On Site Beauty are simply the best. As someone who generally prefers a more natural look, I was nervous about getting my hair and makeup done for my wedding day. However, Alyssa worked closely with me to understand my vision and make sure I looked and felt my absolute best. She and her team expertly transformed me into the most beautiful version of myself, and even one of my bridesmaids remarked that her hair and makeup was better than what she had done for her own wedding! I cannot thank Alyssa enough for her professionalism, attention to detail, and for helping make my wedding day so special. I would highly recommend AB On Site Beauty to any bride-to-be looking for a talented, caring beauty team.

Hi, I'm Makenna, and I’m a Wedding + Lifestyle Photographer based in the Madison Metropolitan area! I am a midwest gal, born and raised, currently residing in Stoughton, WI. Most days you can find me hanging out with my best friend and husband, Chris, our daughter Scottie, and our dog, Sky. Other than my family and photography, I’m most passionate about music, dance and the arts in general. I’m also interested in clean skin care and beauty, sustainable fashion, supporting small businesses, and meeting/getting to know new people! I would love to get to know you more as a couple, and to photograph your wedding day!

I can't say enough good things about Makenna Smith Photography! There are so many things to love! We've worked with her three separate times and each time she absolutely exceeds our expectations! She is so incredibly talented. One of the times we worked with her was when she was just beginning her photography business and the finished product was absolutely stunning - we still get compliments today on our photos and I love to tell people that she was just getting started at the time. We love to brag about her! Her attention to detail and organizational skills during the planning process is so much appreciated. She helped answer all planning questions, assisted us with finding vendors and was so great at communicating with us and with our other vendors. Even though she had other clients, I always felt like the top priority. On the day of the wedding, Makenna is so helpful at keeping things going. She leads when she needs to but she's flexible and goes with the flow when things don't go as planned. She always makes it a priority to check in with the couple to see if they are having fun, doing okay, and enjoying the day. She's so selfless and does whatever it takes to make the day amazing for the couple. She goes above and beyond in everything she does - she is so much more than a photographer. Aside from being a great professional, Makenna is a wonderful person and her energy and heart shines through in everything she does. This is her passion. She loves capturing special moments and I'm so thankful she agreed to capture ours!

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.

Milford Hills Hunt Club was the perfect venue for our wedding day. We primarily communicated with them over email which was always prompt and detailed. The outdoor space was gorgeous and made for a beautiful ceremony backdrop. The indoor space is on the smaller side but worked well for our wedding of about 150 guests. Heidi, the on-site coordinator, was phenomenal - her organization and communication really allowed my husband and I to relax and soak in being newlyweds. The food provided by Milford Hills was delicious and having the ceremony, reception and catering all handled by one vendor streamlined the planning process. It's a stunning venue with an accommodating staff that helped contribute to our special day.
