Hi! Phil Koehler, here. I am an out-going introvert, who lives to provide a remarkable photography experience to my clients. When I'm not behind a camera, you can find me either treasure hunting at a local thrift shop or estate sale, hiking in the woods, or paddling on the Wisconsin River. I fell in love with Wedding Photography after shooting a friend's wedding back in 2017. Being able to capture the important moments for my clients, is an honor and joy that I truly cherish.

Phil and Jess are so chill and easy to work with! They do an amazing job capturing those candid moments, highlighting the true excitement and emotions of the day. They are so easy to communicate with and do a great job keeping things professional but also fun and light. I appreciate their willingness to collaborate with other vendors and always look forward to seeing their beautiful photos of the couples we host here at the Fox Club.

Cree La Vie Studios was an exceptional choice for our wedding photography. From our very first interaction, Anne’s responses were timely, thorough and she provided a sense of calm to all of our questions.On the day of the wedding, she seamlessly blended into the background when needed and she was able to direct people when needed as well! Anne helped keep the day running smoothly. The quality of her work is phenomenal - the photos have a moody, saturated color palette that captures the emotion of the day beautifully. She was exactly what we were looking for! We received our sneak peek so quickly, I can’t wait to see the rest! They were to die for - absolutely everything we wanted and more.Our guests were so impressed that they were even naming the photographers by name! I would wholeheartedly recommend Anne and the Cree La Vie team to anyone looking for fabulous wedding photography.

Bringing nostalgia to your present so you can look at your images over and over again and always feel what it felt like. We're your head-over-heels husband & wife photography (and micro wedding officiant!) duo; the photographers for non-photo people who want their moments captured authentically, candidly, and real. In-depth timeline-planning so you can have a carefree, joyful celebration. Let's talk about the investment in your legacy!

Olivia and Bryan are so much more than photographers; they’ve truly become our friends. From our engagement session to our wedding day, they brought the kindest, warmest, and most joyful energy. We’ve never seen them without a smile or laughing, and their positivity set the tone for our entire day. Your photographers are with you from start to finish on your wedding day, and having Olivia and Bryan by our side made all the difference. Their presence instantly puts you at ease. They’re calm, genuine, and make you feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. They also went above and beyond before the wedding. The meetings, questionnaires, and planning they did with us beforehand made everything run so smoothly. Thanks to their organization, every single photo we wanted, with every person we love, was captured effortlessly. We never once had to stress or think about logistics because they already had it all handled. On top of being incredible people, they are insanely talented photographers. They captured the most stunning candid moments while also guiding us through beautifully posed shots that never felt forced. Their attention to detail, understanding of lighting and timing, and experience with dogs and all types of venues blew us away. They even surprised us by taking film photos using Olivia’s dad’s camera as an extra gift, which we’ll cherish forever. And to top it off, they sent the most thoughtful, personal gifts both before and after our wedding. It’s touches like that that show how deeply they care. We truly can’t imagine anyone else capturing our lives’ biggest moments. Olivia and Bryan will forever be our photographers, and we could not recommend them more. ️

Wild Love Pursuit 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Stratford, WI

A creative soul, a love for romance, passionate to tell your love story. I am always seeking for true connection between humans, the genuine real type of connection. I believe, at the end of the day, these true moments, even the smallest ones, are what mean the most. Weddings are filled with these fleeting moments and the fact that I get to document them, stop time and hand them to you to be remembered forever means more than you may ever know. I can't wait for our paths to cross, to hear all about your ideas and plans for the day.

We LOVED our engagement photos but our wedding photos were/are something to obsess over. She captured the whole day really really well. If there was one thing that I would change I would just want more pics of the 2 of us laughing and having big genuine smiles. Sometimes getting your pictures taken can be a little awkward so anything to help with getting those big smiles on camera helps.

Hi there- I'm Jessie. A midwest woman on a mission to celebrate and document couples from all over the country as they say “I do” in some of the most incredible nooks, crannies, peaks, valleys, and lakes this world has to offer. I fell head over hiking boots for elopements while traveling with my hubby and our baby in our Airstream. While on our own adventure, we kept stumbling upon wild weddings—deep in the forests, teetering at the tallest points, and every last jaw-dropping location you can imagine. Not just the adventure—but the entire experience of creating a space couples felt seen, heard, valued, loved, and celebrated in.

My husband and I exclusively use Jessie as our photographer for all our biggest milestones. Her talent shines in her photographs. I can’t recommend her enough for her talent, personality and professionalism. We are using her for our maternity photos and she never fails to go above and beyond to capture our vision so I am beyond excited!

Once Like a Spark Wedding Co.

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Stratford, WI

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

When my wife and I were planning our wedding, we were initially hesitant to book Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. since they were not a local company, and we didn't get to talk directly to the photographer or videographer until the day of the wedding. That being said, what sold us was their website/gallery, their professionalism when getting a quote, and that our venue vouched for them. OLAS' team's communication was responsive, quick, and thorough, putting us at ease. We had planning calls and surveys leading up the day of. Jasmine T did a stellar job setting us up to look our best, and she had her work cut out for her, because she was dealing with two brides, two dresses, and an outfit change! Jasmine was also great about following our instructions from the survey and planning meetings. For example, we had included pictures in front of a wall of donuts at the venue, but we later changed the wall of donuts to cannoli's and forgot to tell OLAS. Turns out the venue threw in the donut wall back in without telling us. Jasmine brought us to the wall, and it made for a great surprise and cute pictures. Jeremy did an amazing job on the videography and editing. Watching the highlight video made us cry because he really captured our best moments and those real smiles in the midst of the stress and hustle and bustle of the wedding day. OLAS gave us complimentary rush photos and video without us asking which was a 2-3 week was turn around. Despite our initial trepidation, we are so happy we booked OLAS. They went above and beyond to make our special day memorable for a lifetime. We are so grateful for their talent and highly recommend Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. to any couple looking for breathtaking photography and videography.

We are still glowing from our wedding day, and it’s all thanks to High Street Sound and Ward 3 Media! From the moment we reached out, their teams felt like an extension of our family. The music from High Street Sound was pure magic. We had a string duo for our ceremony, and it brought an ethereal quality to the moment we said “I do.” The cocktail hour music was lively and fun, setting the perfect tone for the evening. Our dance was unbelievable fun. Ward 3 Media was just as incredible. They made the photo and video process so stress-free and fun, capturing us naturally while still getting the classic shots we wanted. The final photos were beyond stunning, and the video made us both cry—it was that good! If you’re looking for vendors who pour their hearts into your wedding, book them immediately.

Devyn was amazing throughout the entire process! We were so happy with all the photos (which she delivered in record time) as well as her presence at the wedding. She had the ability to blend in and I never felt like there was a camera in my face, which was very important to me. However, she didn’t miss a single shot and captured moments that I didn’t even know she was around. We are a bit stiff, but she was incredibly warm and friendly and helped us loosen up for formal portraits. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a discrete, creative and reliable photographer.

I am also a stay-at-home dad, a philatelist, a Lego freak, and a craft beer nerd, and we have an orange fridge, haha.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are not from the area so the first time we officially met Erik was the day of our wedding. From the moment we met, Erik’s energy was calm and confident. I can’t think about my perfect day without thinking about how incredible he was. As soon as he arrived, the energy in the room lifted. He was funny, cracking jokes and also very focused in the details. Without even realizing it—or maybe he did—he helped me carry the mental load of the day. It felt like he knew his role was more than just capturing beautiful photos. He reminded me to be present and to truly live in each moment. He also went with the flow and made any and all of my requests happen like taking photos yards away or running up flights of stairs for that perfect picture. And let me just say—it was 100 degrees outside. Yet there he was, juggling multiple cameras and bags, fanning my dress, offering me his personal fan, and handling all the little things that only someone who is a true master of their craft would even think to do. Choosing Erik as our photographer was, hands down, one of the best decisions we made. He is truly one of a kind. My husband and I are incredibly grateful for his time and are honored to have had him photograph our day.

As a married photography duo with over 14 years of experience and 600+ weddings documented, we specialize in creating true-to-life/timeless imagery that tells your unique love story. Serving Minnesota and beyond — we combine a 50/50 fine art approach with a documentary eye to capture every joyful, heartfelt, and beautifully unexpected moment while creating stunning portraits as well. Our couples are modern romantics with impeccable taste -valuing experiences, personal touches, and, of course, their beloved furbabies!

WOW, where do I begin. Kasey and Tyler are masters at what they do! From two different engagement sessions to our wedding day, they knew exactly how to get the "perfect shot". Our wedding day came with a small amount of "conveniently timed" rain (during our first look and wedding party photos!), and they knew exactly how to work with what we had (a tall tree to hide under and an umbrella..). The attached photo was taken during a downpour rain and it STILL looks beautiful!! They were incredibly organized and all photos were pre-planned so they had a set plan in order to avoid wasting time. They listened to what my husband and I wanted, and made sure we were taking care of ourselves (eh-hem, reminding us to eat multiple times throughout the day..). They were so easy going but didn't have a problem putting their foot down if a random family member or other vendor were "problematic" (per the brides request!!). I cannot wait to work with them again! THANK YOU Kasey and Tyler for being the best in the business!!! 3

I am the heart and soul behind Dakota Layne Photo. Based in western Wisconsin, my love for photography started as a seven-year-old girl as the flower girl in a family wedding and has now become an extension of who I am. I approach my clients from a place of empathy - understanding who they are, what is important to them, and how I can bring their story to life in a significant and meaningful way.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment I inquired with Dakota, she was prompt. We instantly jumped on a call and we literally talked for a hour! I instantly knew she was going to be our photographer! Throughout the planning process, she consistently reached out to check in. Her thoughtful and uplifting voice messages were such a light midst the stresses of wedding planning. I would get so excited when I saw her name pop up on my phone, her bubbly personality and genuine care in her messages meant everything to us!! Our engagement photo day was a scorcher--95 degrees and pure sun!! But Dakota made the absolute best of it, even as we took breaks to cool down. Despite the sweat and crazy heat, our photos turned our magazine worthy--seriously stunning!! In the weeks leading up to the wedding she checked in almost daily, which was so reassuring. Her online website and questionnaire were very thorough and incredibly helpful. At one point, I even called her to vent about a difficult wedding situation (that had nothing to do with her), and she listened and reassured me through it all! She is truly a wedding industry professional!! On our wedding day, her presence was incredibly pleasant and everything flowed perfect. We fell a bit behind due to hair and makeup, and she continued to reassure me that we would be just fine. Her photography style is absolutely stunning, with great attention to detail that captured every important moment for us. We received our sneak peeks just a day or two after the wedding which was one of my favorite memories ever!!-- getting to reminisce on the stunning photos with my now husband on our first day of our honeymoon. It meant the world to us! The full gallery was delivered within the timeframe discussed in our contract as promised, I even had a few questions about different angles and additional photos and she delivered on all of my requests. Her gallery website was very easy to use and share. Overall we had a 1000/10 experience with having Dakota as our wedding photographer. Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, but she is also so personable and was one of the best decisions and investments we have ever made! When it is your special day, you want to be surrounded by the absolute best, and that is Dakota!!

Taber was my photographer for my wedding this past weekend, 5/24/2025. Words cannot describe how amazing of a person she is and how amazing she is at her job. My entire bridal party and all of the guests loved her. Her attention to detail and ability to command the room in a kind and soft way is truly amazing. She gave us a 90 photo slideshow during the reception for us to go through and for a few seconds I thought it was not us because of how surreal the photos looked like. We just got our wedding picture preview (see on instagram!) and I cried my eyes out going through the photos because of how amazing they are. It's safe to say that it's truly indescribable the feeling that her photos give me and you would be remiss to not hire her.

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we reached out to Birchfields, their communication was quick, thorough, and sincere. Their attention to detail and ability to make us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera resulted in exceptional photographs that captured every special moment of our wedding day. Birchfields truly went above and beyond, taking unique angles and perspectives that allowed us to relive the entire day through their stunning imagery. When it’s hard to figure out which photo you want to print out and hang on the wall, you know you picked the right photographer! We could not be happier with the final product and would highly recommend Steve to any couple looking for a talented, professional, and personable wedding photographer.

Bonnie Drake Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,100
  • Serves Stratford, WI

I've been passionate about documenting and creating since I was a little girl running wild in the suburbs of St. Paul. I would steal my parent's film camera and take dozens (okay maybe hundreds) of blurry photos of our dog. In high school, I spent babysitting money on a polaroid and then finally my beloved point and shoot, which was my favorite accessory for a night out! I was gifted my first DSLR in my early twenties, and that changed the way I looked at the role photography played in my life. What was always a beloved hobby became my passion, and I've never been happier.

Bonnie is such a gem, we had so much fun working with her! During our engagement shoot and wedding day, we were constantly laughing and just having a ball, she made us feel completely comfortable. Bonnie is chill, down-to-earth, friendly, and so much fun. She had great suggestions and was down with our ideas, too. We're extremely appreciative of her communication, transparency, and flexibility, and we can't wait to hopefully work with her again for family photos! Could not recommend her highly enough, she's the best!

Hey I’m Kia! ’m the heart and soul behind B.Kaker Productions, your go to photographer, videographer, personal hype woman, and lover of chicken tenders.

In love with the results! Kia made us feel so comfortable and was quite accommodating! She was professional, attentive to our needs, and captured our moments well. Was worth every penny and will be working with her again in the future!
