Hooke Photo

  • Serves Waukesha, WI

As a small boy, I would sit for hours watching my mother hand-color portraits for a local photographer, during the cold winter months, by a fire in our family room. From there I began taking my own pictures with my first box camera. Fast forward to a restless twenty-something working as a microbiologist, taking weddings and portraits on weekends. Eventually I graduated college with an M.A. in Photography and started out in Chicago, assisting numerous photographers, shooting everything from oranges to weddings. I have been fortunate to have worked all over the world. Photography is more than a job, it’s an avocation, a passion, it's what I do.

We could not have asked for a better photography and videography team for our wedding reception! Bayo was truly a mind reader — constantly in the right place at the right time and somehow captured every special moment without ever feeling staged or forced. Arlene worked quietly behind the scenes, capturing every emotional, joy-filled detail so naturally that it feels like we’re reliving the night every time we watch our video.

Lauren was an amazing photographer to work with! My husband and I planned to get married in Rockford while living in Houston. Choosing our photographer who was willing to work with our weird circumstance was super important. From the start Lauren was communicative, supportive, and flexible! As a person she is so kind and calming, as a professional her pictures really captured what I envisioned for our wedding day. She was direct about her pricing, her suggestions, and her advice. On my wedding day I didn’t have to worry about a thing and I’m so glad she captured our most important moments.

Her communication style was organized, thoughtful, and attentive - she took detailed notes during our consultations and always followed up promptly. Most importantly, the quality of Shawna's work is fantastic, especially considering her very reasonable rates. She has a true talent for capturing emotional moments and telling the story of the day.

I’m a wedding photographer who believes your story deserves to be told with honesty, intention, and a little bit of magic. I’m drawn to couples who feel deeply, love boldly, and sometimes worry about how they’ll translate on camera — that’s where my gift lies. Clients often share that I bring a calming, grounding presence that lets them breathe, open up, and feel beautifully themselves. I chase tender glances, soft chaos, joyful bursts, and all the quiet magic in between. If you want warm, romantic, lived-in imagery, I’d be honored to tell your story.

Natalie was fantastic from beginning to end! We had already signed a contract with another photographer as well as placed a deposit. We saw Natalie at our best friends' wedding and loved how she blended into the crowd while still making sure she got every shot. Once we saw the final portfolio from our friends, we knew we had to make the switch. It was the best decision we made. Finding vendors can be extremely overwhelming, especially being a same sex couple. Natalie made the entire experience so much better. We thoroughly enjoyed her company just as much as her photography expertise. We will be using her for any family photos we need taken in the future. 10/10 recommend!

When not photographing people or pets (@thegooddogphotography), I am photographing homes for real estate (yes – I know what you’re thinking… “Boring!” but hey, sometimes it’s nice to photograph things that don’t move or run away from you.) But in my actual free time, I am editing photos, hanging with my mini-family, going to F45, or crashing my neighbor's pool. I am a family, newborn, portrait, and branding photographer. But honestly, I love what I do so much that I can shoot whatever you’re looking for, just inquire!

On the big day, she was bright and happy but relaxed at the same time which really put me at ease. She took so many photos to make sure we had options. Plus, our final photos were done way before we were expecting them to. If we need another photographer, Makena is my go to.

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.

“Natalie was an AMAZING photographer for our wedding! I would and have recommended her to all of my friends, and have seen her work several other weddings as well. She is incredibly professional and worked tirelessly all day for our big event, even pitching in with help setting up and tearing down. At the same time she had my bridesmaids and I laughing all day and was truly part of the joyful experience of our big day. Our photos were available soon after the wedding and each and every one of them was truly beautiful. Natalie knows how to capture the essence and personality of the couples she works with, and my hubby and I will treasure our wedding photos for the rest of our lives!”

After beginning in 35mm film and practicing the art of photography on the side all my life, I took a severance package over a change in position when my corporate job was being downsized. That was 2017, and I have only earned my living through a lens since then. Bills, pandemics and doubters - be damned. I am still here, and I am here for you.

My husband and I have so many great things to say about Kevin, where should we begin?? I guess it is important to note that we booked Kevin for our wedding/elopement EIGHT days in advance-not much time at all. With it being such a last minute online booking, we weren’t sure what to expect when it came to quality or price. Boy, were we happy with what we got! Kevin arrived early, had a great positive attitude, and went with the flow for the day. He was well prepared with lots of equipment and ideas and we could clearly see his knowledge with photography and getting a beautiful shot. Oh, and to top it off, we were sent some previews/proofs SO quickly-we were not expecting it. It was amazing to be able to share a professional photo so quickly with our friends/family who were not at the elopement ceremony. To wrap it up…if you want a photographer that is timely, pleasant to work/communicate with, doesn’t cost an arm and a leg, and takes amazing pictures-look no further and book Kevin for your event!! We are so happy we did.

Why do I take photos? Well I’m glad you asked! When I was a teenager I was thrown from one of my horses and lost my long term memory. Thankfully my father was into photography and I notice that looking back at family photos helped to trigger my memory! With the fear of hitting my head and potentially loosing my memory again, I started taking photography classes and was obsessive about taking photos. Whenever I take photos for a client I remember how important it was to my recovery to have images of my life.

Elyse is the best. She is great with directing you into the perfect pose, always making sure you are show your best self. Her photography is natural and bright. I chose her for all our family photos and business photos because her editing and photography is timeless. She is great at getting everyone's attention and keeps things moving. Friendly, personable, reliable, basically every positive word describes Elyse and her photography! It's always hard to pick favorites when we get our galleries!
