  • Serves Rochester, WI

Hi, I’m Kelsey! I am a wedding photographer! I am obsessed with dogs. I will never not acknowledge a dog near me by saying “puppers”. It is what it is. I would 100% rather be on the beach somewhere with palm trees. I am constantly daydreaming about being in the tropics. I love the color black. If we work together, there is a high chance that will be my outfit color of choice.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kelsey is amazing!!! We got married in January and did photos outside. Everyone was freezing and Kelsey made the experience fun, and didn’t complain about the cold once! She was so easy to work with and got along with our wedding party so well. Everyone loved her! Our photos are absolutely stunning and I am still obsessing over them a year later! I highly recommend Kelsey for all of your big life events that you want beautifully captured!

Whimsical Roots Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (12 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Rochester, WI

Over 200 times since 2013, I’ve hopped out of bed in the morning with butterflies in my stomach & stars in my eyes as I’ve loaded up my camera bag & headed out the door to capture a beautiful wedding day. I help sophisticated couples like you celebrate this iconic chapter in your journey by creating sincere images that look & feel true to life, & true to you. Your love story is anything but ordinary, & you can trust that I will celebrate your connection with creativity & poise, in its own, unrivaled way.  Depend on me to ensure a relaxed & joyful experience that will transform the fleeting moments of your wedding day into treasured heirlooms.

Before we even got engaged, I had already started to look for wedding vendors as we would be planning our Wisconsin wedding from out of state. With so many photographers in the wedding game, it was hard to figure out exactly what we wanted until I came across Andrea and her Whimsical Roots page. I was immediately hooked and wanted to book her as soon as possible. It was clear from her style that she cared about her clients, and I wanted a wedding album that reflected that warmth and authenticity. From our first phone call, we adored Andrea. She was so easy to talk to and was eagerly waiting for the news when we officially got engaged. Throughout our engagement, Andrea kept up with us, making sure things were going well in the planning process and even sent us a New Years greeting card – truly above and beyond! When it came to wedding day, Andrea was an absolute angel. I did not think about how many quiet, raw moments I would be alone with just a photographer and videographer on wedding day: reading a letter from my soon-to-be-husband, taking bridal shots on a back porch, and waiting in a back room before finding my dad for our grand entrance. It was such a comfort to have Andrea be the person who was with me in those tender moments. Her presence was a gift for which I will forever be grateful. Once the main events started, Andrea was a rockstar as she navigated a semi-public space, a boat ride that was pretty bumpy, and an entire event outside with the sunlight fading too quickly. She made everything look easy and kept such a positive, energetic attitude the entire day. We still talk about how much we laughed while taking photos because she made it so fun! The turn around time for our final photos was quicker than we expected, and we are so blessed to have such beautiful, timeless works of art to remember our special day.

As a Milwaukee wedding photographer, I’m drawn to quiet, in-between moments - the fleeting glances, unguarded laughter, and effortless connection. For nearly two decades, I’ve captured weddings and families with a calm, observant approach, blending artful composition with genuine emotion. Based near Milwaukee and available for weddings worldwide, I create timeless images for those who value authenticity, artistry, and connection.

Awarded Best of Zola
We can't speak highly enough about Taber Lacie Photo. From the very first conversation, Taber was incredibly responsive and helped us plan every detail we needed for the months leading up to our wedding. Her guides and forms made the whole process easy to understand, and she created a timeline that worked perfectly for all the photos we wanted. On our wedding day, Taber captured the candid moments that truly mattered—the little laughs, the genuine emotions, the real us. Her photos are professional, bright, and so heartfelt that we find ourselves looking through them over and over again. We'd absolutely recommend Taber to any couple looking for a photographer who cares as much about your story as you do.

Steve Bowman Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Rochester, WI

Welcome! I'm Steve! Creativity should be about showing you the usual things unusually. It should be about using everything at that moment to produce something unique...ultimately, it's about dragging your client towards something bigger and better than they expect. It's about giving them experiences and photographs that belong on rock albums and movie posters!

An Artist at the core and a Connection for life. My Wife found Steve through countless searches of different photographers. Upon an exhausting search she/we struck gold! I will forever recommend Steve to others and like a barber I will never find a new one to replace the perfectionism of life that Steve captures. Hes a perfect fit! It all started with a beautiful engagement shoot filled with creativity, laughs, professionalism, stories, and shared interests. Steve made us feel comfortable and confident to be taking photos. We had a few ideas but were happy to let the photographer guide us through the process. After all he is the professional. Through out the wedding Steve made guests feel comfortable, iconic, and look like rock stars. our photos turned out so beautiful. Like a ninja and wizard Steve lurked in the shadows and appeared when most needed. He graciously helped me get ready when I was a nervous wreck in the groom room. With his personality, camera set up, and knowledge there is no doubt in my mind that a session with him, wedding, engagement, family photos, is something worth more than money or pictures can buy. It’s a true experience.

Three: Seventeen Photography Llc 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Rochester, WI

I want to capture all those candid, in-between, beautiful, genuine moments that are more meaningful in every single way. I want to capture both the silent and still moments and also the inevitable dance-off that is bound to happen now that all your old class-mates are together again. Essentially, what I really want to give you is something more. What I really want to give you is something to look at it years from now that triggers those goosebumps, those tears of joy, those bouts of laughter and has you truly remembering how this day felt.

I worked with Three: Seventeen Photography LLC in 2019 on what was the hottest and rainiest days of the year. The original wedding was supposed to take place in an outside portion of the venue but had to be switched very quickly due to heat and severe storms. As a wedding planner it is always great to have vendors like Three: Seventeen Photography be able to pivot and work with the changes at hand. Not only did they step up when needed, they also worked on finding alternative photography locations on the spot due to the weather. They are professional and provided excellent service to the happy couple and I would recommend them to any future couple in need of a top quality photographer.

Either way, I'll be behind the lens, not missing a beat. When you look through the photos memories will come to life and it'll be as though you're right there doing it all over again.

As a photographer, participating in your wedding and seeing you begin your own journey of commitment to each other is a true honor. Being invited to a cherished event with your friends and family, and asked to commemorate that event through photography for future generations is not a responsibility that I take lightly.

I’m really happy with my wedding photos from KC Photography! We got married in a non-traditional location, but you can’t tell from the photographs. They are just as lovely as church wedding photos! My sparkler exit went by so fast - but I’m lucky to have a glimpse of that moment documented forever in my wedding album.

  • Starts at $3,800
  • Serves Rochester, WI

I’m Yeri (pronounced yeh-dee), and I’m a photographer based out of a city right in between Chicago and Milwaukee (best of both worlds, if you ask me!). I’m a total extrovert, a big time hugger and totally not your typical show-up-to-a-shoot-and-leave-right-away type of girl. From the moment you inquire, to even after our work together is done, I got your back! We’ll have coffee together (or if it’s an old fashioned, even better!), we’ll talk, we’ll plan and find out how I could best serve you.

Yeri Photo Co. was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. Their communication throughout the entire process was consistent, fun, and professional - putting us at ease every step of the way. The quality of their work was simply spectacular, capturing the true essence of our special day with an unparalleled attention to detail. Yeri Photo Co. brought an incredible energy that made our wedding day photography feel less serious and more fun, allowing our personalities to shine through in the most beautiful photos. We could not have asked for a better photography team, and we would highly recommend them to any couple looking for the best wedding photos.
