Ward 3 was absolutely amazing; we were lucky enough to work with Elena as our lead photographer and Irv as our lead videographer and from the start everyone was so communicative and put us at ease even early on in the planning process. They all just kept asking day of, how they could help us make the day go smooth and it really truly meant more than I could ever explain because it showed they weren't just there for photos and a paycheck, but they were there for US as a couple. Super quick turnaround time with sneak peek photos and I'm already blown away by the talent Ward 3 has in their photographers. I cannot wait to see everything else and our video :) Would recommend them too absolutely everyone!

We are extremely happy with our experience with Ward 3 Media, especially having Irving as our videographer. When we initially reached out, Ward 3 was very prompt in their responses and flexible with our vision.

He added great energy, creativity, and support on our wedding day. We feel so grateful to have found Ward 3 and the film they provided captured the day perfectly!

I recently got married on 5/31/25 and reached out to a personal touch for a DJ 13 months before my wedding. We originally set everything up with Jared who is amazing! He made everything so easy we met him in person he explained how their company works and showed us the portal where we would provide all of the details for the DJ. Their pricing was also really well we ended up going with the wireless uplighting and Photo Booth and honestly so glad we did the uplighting it made the entire venue look even better. A month before our wedding we got assigned our DJ, Jonathan, and he couldn’t of been a better DJ. He did an intro call with me and discussed all of my concerns and my schedule and was very detailed in going over my timeline and added extras I wanted. Fast forward to my wedding and he literally killed it. There was a packed dance floor non stop with all ages and his transitions for his music were insane. People kept coming up to us and saying this is the best wedding they have been to the music is so good. We had people keep saying they didn’t want to leave because they didn’t want to stop dancing. Jonathan kept checking in with us through our the night which I appreciated so much and he even made sure to go over our bridal parties names beforehand to make sure he was pronouncing everyone’s name right. Honestly we have several people getting married that we know who have requested a personal touches info because of how good the music was. DJ Jonathan is a GEM and so is Jared. They made the entire process so seamless and they were easily one of the best vendors we worked with. I would rate them 100000/10. They are awesome!!!

Veronica and Amy did an INCREDIBLE job planning and executing our 3-day, 200-person wedding which included 3 music vendors, 2 floral vendors, 2 officiants, 4 food vendors… you get the picture… I spent the entire weekend without one worry because they took care of EVERYTHING! Everyone says something goes wrong at each wedding… honestly, not one thing went wrong at ours, thanks to Veronica and Amy! During the entire process, I don’t think more than an hour went by before our emails to Veronica were answered, and answered soooo thoroughly and thoughtfully. Veronica and team were prompt, detail oriented, kind and caring. Couldn’t have asked for better people to mange my most important day. Amy even carried fabric scissors with her and saved us when we had to (sadly) cut my dress after the bustle broke. Saved the day. Cannot recommend them enough.

My husband & I worked with Sara for our wedding this past July for month-of coordination, and it was a super easy, enjoyable, and fun experience. Sara was personally a joy to work with and we clicked quickly. She remembered every detail from our meetings, kept me organized, and tracked down vendors for answers which helped me immensely. She went above & beyond what I was expecting, and as someone who usually likes control over all of the details I trusted her immediately and knew we were in good hands. Day-of, she hustled so hard and executed on every detail we discussed, making our day worry and stress free. She has a great way with people – making sure everyone in our families knew what they were doing (wrangling 20 people) but in a personable, yet firm way! I will miss working with her, and would recommend her to absolutely anyone. V

Hey! Allow me to introduce myself - I'm Stephanie. Born & raised in Wisco but I have a wandering soul. I love photographing love. Silly love, sweet love, crazy love, & any kind in between. Adventurous couples are my jam - those that aren't afraid to jump in a lake fully clothed or hang out with alpacas in the freezing cold for their shoot. I live for shoots where we are all barefoot, hanging by the lake, enjoying the sunset while I capture the moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
We could not be more thrilled with the experience we had with Stephanie as our photographer for both our engagement and wedding photos! From the very first inquiry to receiving our beautifully edited photos, she was consistently responsive, thorough, and communicative. We always knew what to expect and when, which made everything feel seamless and stress-free. One thing that really stood out to us was how Stephanie helped us choose photo locations when we weren’t quite sure where to go. She offered thoughtful suggestions and even gave her honest opinions about lighting and layout when needed, which we truly appreciated. On the big day, Stephanie made us feel completely at ease. Neither of us had any experience with professional photography prior to working with Stephanie, so we were initially worried about feeling awkward in front of the camera, but she made the entire process so comfortable. She was so sweet and calming, which was really appreciated on a day that has a lot of moving parts. She was even thoughtful enough to adjust our hair or tweak our poses when needed to make sure every photo was just right. Stephanie has the perfect balance of being easygoing yet incredibly organized. She made sure that all of the photos we wanted were taken, while also capturing so many beautiful candid moments. Her artistic eye when capturing details is truly something special, and she has such a knack for getting those perfectly posed portraits as well. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to document such an important day, and we would highly recommend her to any bride looking for someone who is professional, kind, and genuinely passionate about what she does. Thank you so much, Stephanie, for making our wedding day so memorable with your stunning work!

We searched for a photographer for our Lake Geneva wedding but it was a bit difficult as we both live in Chicago. Luckily, I had read some really great reviews about Ari Rosenthal Photographers and was thrilled when I talked with Ari. He was helpful and professional, had our date available and their price was perfect. Mark, one of the photographers and the one who we chose, was amazing to work with on our special day. We have had so many family and friends just love the photos when we shared them! Mark's professional experience put us at ease from the moment he arrived and the communication was great from the first phone call. We feel so fortunate to have chosen Mark to be our photographer as his ability in working with all of us, was so calming and fun, plus our pictures turned out so awesome!

I've been navigating the WI wedding industry since starting Redwoods in 2023. Before that, my love for events came from working at a winery in Napa, California. I'm here to help you with the chaotic parts of planning; navigating your budget, choosing the right vendors, staying on track with planning progress, and of course, managing the entire event day of (and everything in between). When I'm not in office, you can find me walking my dogs, reading a book, finding a fun craft class or restaurant to visit with my husband Alex (yes we have the same name) or traveling.

Awarded Best of Zola
If I could give any couple one piece of advice for their wedding it would be to book with Redwood. Alex is so good at her job it's remarkable, it's actually impossible to enumerate everything she did for us. Alex (and Hannah!) did day-of-coordination for us and having her input and advice the months leading up to our wedding was AMAZING. Any issue we had, Alex was there to talk us through it and give guidance. We would only have to describe something to her once and she would "just get it" and be able to execute flawlessly. Every decision she made day-of (because there will ALWAYS be some small decisions that have to be made) was better executed than if we had thought about how to do it ourselves. One of our only regret in working with Alex was that we didn't just have her do full-planning for us. Cannot recommend Redwood's enough, you'll be in the most experienced and safest hands possible.

Where do we even start! From the very first email, Colin was such a calming and supportive presence throughout the whole wedding planning process. Anytime I had a question or worry (which I had a few), he was right there with reassurance and quick answers - even when I’d email him late at night, he somehow would respond within minutes! That kind of responsiveness and care meant so much to us, especially in the week leading up to the wedding with things get hectic. He went above and beyond for our rehearsal, helping us run through every detail and setting up mics and speakers so efficiently that everything flowed seamlessly. It gave us such a peace of mind knowing he had everything under control. On the wedding day, Colin handled two complete sound setups - his wireless one for our outdoor ceremony and his main for the reception - and both were absolutely flawless! The sound quality was perfect the entire day; guests could hear every word of our ceremony and every speech crystal clear. There wasn’t a single hiccup. Then came one of the biggest surprises of the night - cold sparks! Colin and my husband had planned them without me knowing, and it was truly one of my favorite parts of the evening. It made our first dance feel straight out of a movie and the photos from that moment are unreal. If anyone is on the fence about adding cold sparks - DO IT! You won’t regret it. The Photo Booth was a huge hit with our guests! Colin recently upgraded with a printer which people were obsessed with being able to take home their photos (a little built in favor). It kept guests entertained all night long and added such a fun, interactive element to our reception. What really stood out though, was how Colin and his wife (who was his wonderful assistant that day) made everything so personal. They were professional yet warm, blending right into the crowd and truly feeling like family celebrating alongside us. Colin kept the energy flowing, a smooth timeline, and the dance floor full all night long. Looking back, we can’t imagine our day without Sound Love. Colin helped make everything easy, stress-free, and so much fun. We are endlessly grateful we chose him and will always recommended Sound Love to EVERY couple looking for a DJ who genuinely cares, listens, and delivers beyond expectations. Thank you, Colin, for everything you do.

There are really no words to say how absolutely LIFESAVING it was to have Monique coordinate our wedding!!! From the start of the process with filling out our questionnaire to packing up the end of the night, she is THE most detail-oriented, efficient, get things done professional. She is so warm, welcoming, and open to getting to know your vision and making it happen. We had quite a large bridal party with multiple events, and her wedding master document made it so much easier to keep everything and everyone organized and make sure nothing was missed. People always say to expect something to go wrong on your wedding day, it's not going to be perfect, but honestly nothing was missed and it was everything we could have hoped for. All of our decor and details were in place, everything was accounted for at the end of the night, and so many people in our party commented what a perfect combination she was of "professional and firm but friendly and not overbearing at all." I have been recommending Monique to anyone and everyone, do yourself a favor and hire THE BEST in the business with Monique!!!!

Prior to our wedding day, we were convinced our friends and families would be avoiding the dance floor, opting for card games or the bar but, to my utter shock, there wasn’t a single song we didn't have a group dancing the entire evening. Chris Troka listened to us, who we are as a couple, who our guests would be and absolutely nailed it.

Lindsay Stayton Photography LLC 
Rating: 5.0 (12 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Shorewood, WI

Lindsay Stayton began her career in the photography industry in 2008. Her first gig was photographing The Worlds Largest Music Festival, Summerfest. In 2010, Lindsay was asked to photographed her first wedding after a couple stated "If you can photograph Flava Flave, then you can most definitely photograph our wedding!" Most couples have requested Lindsay to continue capturing life’s candid moments for their growing families, which led to her tag line: “Your Family Historian”. Lindsay has a distinct and unique style which captures real human emotion and candid moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
It’s honestly hard to capture in words just how incredible Lindsay is—not only as a photographer, but as a person. From the moment we first connected with her, it was clear she didn’t just see her role as “taking pictures.” She understood what our day was truly about: love, connection, and community. That perspective came through in every single interaction and every single image. When we were prioritizing our wedding budget, we knew photography would be at the very top. We decided to skip a videographer and planner and crossed our fingers that the photos would tell our story in the way we dreamed. Choosing Lindsay was without a doubt the best decision we could have made. Her talent, dedication, and passion shine through in a way that makes it clear she should never be considered “just another vendor.” She is a true artist, and worth every single penny. One of the biggest reasons we chose Lindsay was the diversity of couples she showcased in her portfolio. It meant so much to see ourselves reflected in her work, and it reassured us that she could capture the beauty, uniqueness, and authenticity of every couple’s love story. From start to finish, Lindsay gave us everything we could have asked for and then more. She guided us through engagement photos that were stunning and full of personality, and then on our wedding day, she showed up prepared, energized, and completely present. She not only took photos—she kept the day flowing. She helped us plan the timing of the schedule, moved groups seamlessly for portraits, and brought a sense of calm and confidence that allowed us to simply enjoy being in the moment. She even connected us with other vendors, showing how much she genuinely cares about her couples’ experiences beyond just the photos. And the photos themselves? Breathtaking. They are stunning, timeless, endearing, and true to the moment. She captured the big, emotional highlights of the day while also finding those in-between moments we didn’t even realize were happening—moments that make the memories so much richer. Our family and friends have been floored, with so many saying things like, “I never thought I could look that good in a picture” or “I can’t believe she managed to capture me actually smiling!” Lindsay has a gift for seeing people as they are and reflecting back their truest, most joyful selves. Looking through our gallery felt like reliving the day in the most beautiful way possible. These are the images we will share with family for years to come. Lindsay didn’t just document our wedding—she became part of the story, and the photos she gave us are part of our family history now. That’s why we know we’ll be returning to her for all of our future photography needs. She isn’t just a photographer; she’s a family historian, and we couldn’t be more grateful that she was the one to capture this chapter of our lives.

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.

Kelsey was so easy and fun to work with. She had so many great ideas for different photos and was so easy to communicate with. Our wedding and engagement pictures turned out way better than I could have ever asked for. Would definitely recommend to anyone who needs engagement, wedding or even family photos done.

Hi! I'm Kayla - a traveling Milwaukee wedding photographer - and I'm going to make you cry. Wait, what? Don't worry, not in a bad way. Most of my couples say they cry when receiving their wedding photos from me for the first time. Five, ten, fifty years down the road when you open your wedding album, bet I'll get you again. You'll still be surrounded by your loved ones - remembering the happy tears and laughing until your belly hurts - just as you did on your wedding day.

Kayla exceeded every expectation, and I couldn’t recommend her enough. From the moment we started working together, I knew she understood the vibe and would be able to bring my vision to life. Starting with our engagement photos that were like something from a magazine, to capturing stunning candid moments that told the story of our wedding day perfectly. She went above and beyond, even to blow-dry my dress after we got caught in an unexpected downpour, making what could have been a stressful moment feel manageable and even fun. She read me so well throughout the day, knowing exactly when I needed a quiet moment to myself versus when I was ready for portraits. Her attention to detail, kindness, and genuine care made her an invaluable part of our celebration, and her work is something we’ll treasure forever. We hope to continue to work with Kayla to capture future milestones!

Black Orchid Bridal is led by Gina Vallejos — bridal beauty coordinator, artist matchmaker, and calm energy enthusiast. With nearly two decades in the industry, Gina personally handles all client communication, scheduling, and coordination to ensure every wedding day runs smoothly and beautifully.

Black Orchid Beauty is the team you want setting the tone for the morning of your wedding. My team (Gina, Daya, Laura and Sadey) was professional, calm, and fun all at the same time. I don’t consider myself particularly well versed in hair and makeup and I don’t always have the most confidence in myself. From my trial through my wedding day, the team made sure that I felt relaxed and confident that I would look like an enhanced version of myself on my wedding day.

Hi, I'm Sam! I tell everyone I know that I have the best job in the world - I get to document life moments. I genuinely love being around people, building those connections and letting your images tell your story. Beyond weddings, I also offer family portraits, head shots, milestone sessions, boudoir, senior portraits and more. I love audiobooks, potatoes in all forms (including raw), playing games, peanut butter, ice cream, dogs, and truly just being around people. I love listening to others' stories. I love grandparents.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the initial consult, to the delivery of our Gallery, Sam was the superhero needed to keep things going smoothly. If you’re looking for a photographer who has skills in getting to know who you really are, making sure your personality is as much in the photos as you are, going above and beyond to help things go smoothly, take care of things you didn’t even know needed to be done, and show up in whatever way helps you while getting the job done: you’ve found her. I could not possibly say enough that would capture how great of an experience it was to work with Sam; the professionalism, care, and attention to details are as equally prevalent in her practice as her positive attitude, genuine helpfulness, and kind spirit. That is to say, Sam is everything you could want in a photographer, and everything you need to make sure it’s done with the utmost precision and skill.

The UEC is a wonderful organization that does such great conservation work in our community and it pleased us very much to be able to support them with some of our wedding dollars. The outdoor ceremony space is gorgeous and shady. Inside, we love the beautiful wood paneling and rustic wood furniture, as well as the openness of the space and the big skylight. Danni, our event coordinator, was great to work with and very responsive to our emails and questions. It was great to feel so welcomed and comfortable as a queer couple. The UEC is very LGBTQIA friendly and we felt right at home! Oh and the beautiful natural surroundings made for great photos too!
