I’m Jill — a Wisconsin wedding photographer with over 13 years of experience and a serious love for honest, emotional moments. I’m drawn to real connection, great light, and the kind of photos that feel alive, not overly posed or polished.

“We couldn’t be happier that we chose Jill to be our wedding photographer. We knew we wanted someone to more accurately capture our day (did NOT want to have over-exposed, filtered looking photos or the hoaky, staged vibes) and her journalistic approach to her photography in combination with her joyful energy was PERFECT for us. We asked for a video chat prior to booking to go over some questions and concerns we had regarding the day and knew very quickly she was going to be the right fit for us. Given we both have a passion for photography ourselves, we greatly appreciated her expertise in a wide variety of elements (from bright, natural light to dark, interior spaces) and her realistic approach, which, alongside her experience and artistic vision led to crisp, beautiful photos representing us and our day. We also booked an engagement shoot with her, which we loved, as her bubbly personality immediately puts you at ease and allows you to get a sense of how to really be yourself in photos while still making them feel special. She was responsive and easy to communicate with through the whole process, really making the entire experience feel personal, and our wedding day was all that and even more fun. For the first part of the day she brought an assistant, Anney, with her, who was another ray of sunshine to work with to be a second set of hands, and we worked with Jill to hire a second shooter, Leiden, for a few hours later, who was wonderful as well. Jill being down-to-earth but also friendly and outgoing felt like the perfect combo so that we didn’t feel stressed throughout the day, but also that we could approach her with whatever our thoughts were. So many of our guests said (and keep saying) how much THEY also loved being around her at our event too. We legitimately got some amazing photos back of certain guests that we hardly EVER see smile for photos, which was just more proof how infectious her positive energy is and how great she is at what she does. We ended up with a ton of truly spectacular photos from our wedding for what we thought was a fair price, and that we got back in a very reasonable amount of time, all of which she takes the time and care to edit herself without making them look fake, filtered, or overly manipulated. I can’t overstate how much we loved having Jill as our wedding photographer and the way she perfectly captured us and our wonderful day.”

“Candace is incredible! She is thoughtful, flexible, organized, communicative and has a way with making us feel totally comfortable in front of the camera. If you're wondering whether you should book her... DO IT! I am a person who usually hates photos of myself and I LOVED every single photo that Candace captured of my wedding. She has an elegant, documentary style that is unlike others I have seen. She is worth the investment 100 times over. I will definitely book Candace for all future life moments as well!”

“Courtney was AMAZING! I found Expedition Joy on instagram when she was doing a giveaway contest for a free Engagement session. To our suprise and BIGGEST BLESSING— we won! When my husband and I met Courtney, we instantly clicked! She was so easy to talk to and made us feel so comfortable so quickly! She was very intentional about building trust with her and having a friendship as well! We had great conversations during our shoot and got to learn about her aswell! After our session, my husband and I both agreed that we NEEDED Courtney to be a part of our big day. We expressed our excitement with Courtney just as much as she expressed hers with us! During the planning months, she was so easy to reach and made us feel confident that she would go above and beyond for us on our special day and she DID. Courtney showed up camera in hand and started shooting the second she walked in the door! She was ON IT. She continued to encourage the bridal party and family so they felt comfortable as she was taking photos. She was so intentional with everyone! Courtney and her second shooter were the life of the party on the dance floor! They had a blast with us and it was so much fun for all of our guests to cheer them on when they went to bust a move in the center circle! Courtney continued her 5-star reputation throughout the night and even went above and beyond to stay past our contracted time for our grand exit! She took the most memorable photos of our day, we will always remeber her when we reminisce on our beautiful photos! She truly is Expedition Joy”

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!

“From the moment we first reached out to Developing Diamonds Photography, we were impressed by their informative, professional, and timely communication. Their outstanding, phenomenal, down to earth, wholesome, and exceptional work exceeded all of our expectations. They perfectly matched our vibes and were extremely courteous to us and our guests throughout the day. He was literally everything we could've asked for in a photographer!

“We can not recommend IG PHOTO VIDEO INC enough. We had Tetyana and Egidijus as our photographers and Irad as our videographer. We also were in contact with Ivan. He was extremely communicative throughout the entire process. From introducing us to Tetyana, Egidijus and Irad, How the process would happen from start to finish to getting our photos and videos back. The photos and video blew us out of the water. We are so in awe of the work and quality they put into our day. They were truly the best to work with from start to finish. The only thing is we have so many pictures I can not choose a favorite. (But that's a great problem to have) They truly captured my husband and I in our photos and videos and we are so blessed we came across their page. This company is 100 percent worth the money and we wouldn't have changed a single thing. You guys were amazing in person and in your work! You can definitely tell they love what they do by the work they produce.

“Sheena This was undoubtedly a match made in heaven. The moment one of the clients at the shop overheard my conversation with another client about how stressed I was about not being able to find a photographer for my upcoming last-minute wedding, I almost lost hope of ever finding a photographer until she suggested I look up Sheena Pinkerman. Before I contacted her, I first and foremost looked up her profile page and checked out her work to see if she would be someone that fits in with my personality and creativity. Well, lo and behold, I fell in love with her work the moment I saw it, and this was before I even spoke to her over the phone. When I finally did talk to her over the phone, she made me feel like I'd known her for years. Sheena was very communicative, informative, and understanding from the start, even when I was still unsure of what I wanted. She was extremely helpful and easily accessible when it came to addressing my numerous questions and concerns. She's essentially an all-in-one package, offering the perfect combination of creativity, skills, and expertise. Furthermore, she works with another photographer, Andrea, providing the added benefit of two photographers for the price of one. If you also book Lawrence for your videography, that's an additional bonus, as these three professionals work together seamlessly. They were so impressive that I'd consider having another wedding just to work with them again. I love Sheena and I know you won’t be disappointed if you book her for your wedding.”

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

“Abby wasn’t able to travel to my wedding but she sent her assistants and she edited the photos. It went absolutely perfect. The photos were beautiful and I got so many meaningful photos with my family and his family that I wouldn’t have thought to get. I sent her draft of a timeline and the photographers printed it out and had it to make sure the photos I wanted got done. They were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much to Abby and her team.”

On the day of the wedding, they made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and managed to capture every special moment so beautifully—both the big highlights and the candid little in-between shots that mean so much. The photos are absolutely stunning !!! timeless, romantic, and filled with emotion. Every time we look at them, we’re transported right back to that day. Our friends and family can’t stop raving about how gorgeous the pictures turned out! Beyond their talent, what really stood out was how seamlessly they blended in with our guests while still capturing every angle. It honestly felt like they were everywhere at once without ever being intrusive. If you’re looking for someone who will not only deliver breathtaking photos but also make the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free, look no further. Hiring them was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding !! Thank you again luxurious memories.”

“I cannot put into words just how instrumental Lauren and her team were to our wedding day. I truly do not think it would have been possible without her. In case you need convincing, here are the top 10 reasons why you should have hired LAR Photography for your wedding yesterday: 1) (the most obvious reason) She is a genius behind the camera. She has a true talent for finding the beauty in every moment and capturing it. 2) She has a knack for making getting your picture taken not feel awkward, something we were very afraid about as people who don't often find themselves in front of a camera. 3) She has a wonderful team of people behind her. Shout out to Jared and Ashley as our second shooter and day-of coordinator respectively! 4) She goes above and beyond to make sure the final product is perfect (ie: color correcting every picture for my beautiful, wonderful maid of honor who unfortunately ordered the wrong color dress). 5) She is an expert on all things weddings. Lauren was the one who answered most of our wedding questions throughout the year-long process. This was not limited to photography questions. She knows how weddings work and gave us invaluable information about our timeline, our rehearsal, coordinating with other vendors, and the logistics of set up and tear down. 6) With Lauren, we felt like we were her only clients. Whenever we had a question, Lauren answered. She truly spent hours with us on the phone during the planning process. 7) On the wedding day, she is not just a photographer. Her and her team took care of literally everything that went wrong. They handled decor that broke. They made sure everyone in the wedding party was taken care of. Lauren even bustled my dress on when my mom and I couldn't figure it out. 8) Lauren is dedicated to her craft and her client's vision. We tasked her with taking a group picture that included every guest at our wedding. Was she too short to do this? Yes. Did she stand on a chair to get the shot anyway? Also yes. 9) The sheer volume of pictures that we got back from our wedding is outstanding. We have hundreds. During our first look through, we saved pictures that really stood out as favorites. We ended up adding 121 pictures to that favorites album. 10) Lauren is just an amazing person. She is dependable, professional, dedicated, compassionate, flexible, and a powerhouse behind the camera. We are so glad we found her.”

Hi there, I'm Cara! I am based in south central Wisconsin and serve Wisconsin, the midwest, and beyond. I started Cara Ann Photography to capture love stories in their truest form, and with true to color timeless editing your whole story comes to life.

“Cara is absolutely amazing. She was incredibly helpful with everything! From helping me chose a veil length to making sure our timeline allowed enough time for every event. She is truly there for you throughout the entire process. We are in love with all of our photos from Cara. Our engagement shoot with her may have been a bit chilly but she made it so fun that the hour went by quickly. Cara does amazing work, we loved our engagement photos and every single wedding photo.”
