Photography tells a story that words can’t. I love finding unique beauty in every stage that life brings. Your story, however mundane you think it may be, is unique. I want to capture that for you, whether it be an expecting couple going on an unknown journey towards parenthood, a newborn with oh-so-tiny details, or the unconditional love between a family. The images should speak for themselves: minimal guided poses, authentic moments and genuine emotion.

From the initial planning session to the day of, Autumn was a dream! She is a clear communicator & was able to get our vision for photos. She also helps lead the day to move forward seamlessly. Everyone loved her! The photos are amazing and unique. We are so happy with her being our photographer!

The pictures are a work of art, but what really blew us away was her professionalism and willingness to help in every situation. She’s more than a photographer. She’s a wedding life saver. She helped out in more ways than I can count and was bubbly and friendly about it. So much so that I had friends coming up to me and saying “your photographer Emma is AWESOME!” She’s just that talented and wonderful.

Hey there! I'm Eric, an outdoor-loving, laid-back wedding photographer based in the Midwest who lives for capturing those real, unfiltered moments that make each love story unique. When I'm not behind the camera, you'll probably find me hiking trails or discovering new local breweries. My approach blends documentary-style storytelling with a touch of editorial flair—meaning I'll capture both those candid laughs during toasts and those naturally romantic moments during golden hour. The best photos happen when couples feel completely at ease and free to be themselves.

I’m someone who usually avoids being in photos and never let anyone, not even my partner, take pictures of me. But working with Eric completely changed that. Quinn and I were blown away by our photos. The entire experience felt effortless, like hanging out with a friend. Eric is incredibly laid-back and easygoing, which made the session so enjoyable. If you’re camera-shy or nervous about having your photo taken, I can’t recommend Eric enough. You won’t regret it.

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
We hired Steven and his team to do our wedding photos and videography. I really wanted a photographer that could capture the soul of the event, and Steven did exactly that. His photos are full of life, and I shared so many portraits with guests that actually got printed out or posted online. If you're looking for hundreds of photos of your wedding party that look exactly the same and for every planned second to be documented, Steven is not your person. If you're looking to hit the big moments but focus on capturing raw moments with timeless photos to get framed, I couldn't recommend them more. I never thought I would get a wedding video because it always seemed cheesy to me. But after watching examples of his work I fell absolutely in love with his videos. I've honestly had a hard time watching ours because it evokes so much emotion. Steven was collaborative and willing to go with the flow. We gave him the difficult task of being prepared for 3 different locations with totally differing lighting (indoor/outdoor plus shooting from high sun into the night). He puts an immense amount of care into his work and the photos are truly art that we will cherish forever. If there are specific things you want covered, be sure to share a list. When it comes to capturing the moments that can't be planned, he is on the case!

James is the one behind the lens chasing the light, while Paige handles the heavy lifting behind the scenes to make sure your experience is seamless.

James and Paige are AMAZING! They photographed our engagement and wedding. My husband and I are both camera shy and had never done couples photos before. During our engagement shoot, James was attuned to our comfort level. He essentially posed us the entire shoot. He and Paige are personable with their clients, asking questions and making conversation throughout the shoots. It makes a huge difference when you feel connected with the people on the other side of the lens. During our wedding, James was highly professional in sticking to the timeline. He helped ease everyone's nerves with a great attitude and confidence in his work. The pricing especially for the wedding packages is incredible. You will be in good hands if you hire Lathrop Wedding Company to capture your memories.

I’m Nikki. A Florida-based wedding photographer documenting the wild, sacred, beautifully imperfect parts of getting married. My approach is documentary, nostalgic, and a little bit undone. I’m there for the moments you didn’t plan for: your dad trying not to cry, your friends losing their minds on the dance floor, the quiet five minutes alone together, the weird little in-between moments you won’t realize mattered until years later.

Nikki was my college senior picture photographer. I wanted to do 3 very different photo shoots, as well as incorporate my college friends and my dog. Nikki was able to execute my vision perfectly!!! She knew the perfect locations and captured the vibe I was going for in each session perfectly. I am very detailed oriented and she made sure to capture all the small personal details I wanted included as well. These are my favorite pictures I’ve ever had taken. She was so encouraging and made me feel extremely comfortable behind the camera. Whether you are wanting something more traditional or something completely unique, Nikki will execute it beautifully!!

With a passion for capturing love stories, I bring a unique blend of coastal charm and Midwestern warmth to every shoot. My journey in photography took an exciting turn when I expanded my services to Omaha, Nebraska.

Juliana Montane and her assistant were absolutely incredible! I found Juliana online after seeing a wedding she photographed at our same venue, and her artistic eye and unique style immediately stood out to me. Her photography is stunning — creative, elegant, and unlike the usual wedding photography styles you often see. From booking through the end of our wedding day, she was so friendly, professional, and easy to work with. She captured everything beautifully and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. She even sent us a sneak peek of a few photos the very next day, which was such a wonderful surprise since editing can take weeks — it was amazing to have a few photos right away to share and use for thank-you cards.

I don't believe any two weddings should look the same, and strive to honor my couples and their individuality, while leaving myself some room for artistic expression. I don't believe wedding party photos and family photos should take upwards of 3 hours, because this is a day to be with your people in a deeper way than just standing next to them in photos. We will get those photos, I promise, but we will do it efficiently so you can be present in your day, instead of spend your day in a photoshoot.

Ali is the most amazing photographer and I would work with her again in a heartbeat! She has incredible attention to detail and an eye for capturing intimate, candid moments. My spouse and I are not the most comfortable in front of a camera but Ali gives great prompting and we felt at ease all day. Photography is truly an art and Ali shows that in her work 100%.

Documenting your true authentic self is most important. Making others feel comfortable to let their guard down a bit so they can truly see how beautiful their love is. Capturing moments in a documentary, candid style is my absolute favorite. Looking back on your photos and truly feeling the emotion from an image is the most beautiful gift I can give to couples.

I take time to know you! I love learning about your love story, the proposal, etc. I am hopeless romantic, so I will probably shed a tear at every wedding I attend or photograph.

We truly could not have asked for a better wedding photographer! From the very beginning, they were professional, organized, and incredibly easy to work with, which immediately put us at ease. On the wedding day itself, they struck the perfect balance between being calm and reassuring while also keeping everything on schedule and flowing smoothly. They captured every important moment beautifully—from the big, emotional highlights to the small, candid details we didn’t even realize were happening at the time. Looking through our photos feels like reliving the entire day all over again. The images are timeless, natural, and full of genuine emotion, not overly posed or forced! What stood out most was how attentive and thoughtful they were—not just to us, but to our families and wedding party as well. Multiple guests commented on how kind and personable they were, yet somehow always in the right place at the right time! We are beyond grateful for these photos and will cherish them for the rest of our lives. If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, reliable, and truly cares about capturing your story, we cannot recommend them highly enough (:

Your wedding is not a performance. It's the way you look at each other when no one's watching. Your hand finding theirs without thinking. My couples care more about what’s real than what looks good on a grid. They want gorgeous photos but also want them to mean something. The couples I work with have depth. Their stories have weight. They want someone behind the lens who sees them. Not just how they look, but who they are. Presence over performance. That's the closest I can get to naming it.

Danielle is not only an extremely talented photographer, but also a joy to work with. She was one of the first and easiest decisions my husband and I made when planning our wedding - her photos are spectacular, she is easy to work with, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Prior to our engagement shoot we were able to get to know Danielle and see how much she cares about her career and getting to know her clients. My husband is not a huge fan of being in front of the camera, but Danielle ensured he felt comfortable and relaxed. We knew exactly what to expect for the day of our wedding, which went seamlessly thanks to her expertise and professionalism. Danielle captured special moments of the two of us alone, but also ensured that we spent the bulk of our wedding present with our family and friends. Our wedding photos capture the story of our day and are so incredibly special to us - we have received compliments already and we love them so, so much. Danielle is an excellent choice when it comes to creative, magical, and intimate wedding photography.
