Jill was fantastic to work with. She helped me feel comfortable even though I usually feel awkward posing for pictures. My husband and I had such a great experience with Jill for our engagement photos that we asked her back to photograph our wedding and we would do it again.

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.

Thom is organized, creative, and makes photography fun. His experience in the industry is evident through not only his work, but the way he is able to command a room. Thom had one of his assistants live stream our wedding for our guests that could not travel during the pandemic, which I am so grateful for. Now we will be able to watch our wedding mass for years to come. Thom also captured many couples, family, and friends photos throughout the day. Our family and friends continue to rave about Thom's work and his wonderful personality. We cannot thank Thom enough for capturing memories that will last us a lifetime! Look no further Thom is your guy to make your wedding photography dreams come true!!

Hi! Welcome. My name is Makena a late-twenties photographer in the greater Milwaukee Area! 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!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had Makena as our wedding photographer for our November wedding. She was absolutely amazing to work with! It has taken me a little bit to write a review because there's a million things I could write about and narrowing it down was a task. First, she was more than willing to meet with us well before the wedding to go over what to expect because we were in the dark about the whole wedding process so knowing what we needed to tell a photographer was new to us. She went above and beyond. As a bride I was a little stressed that day and she helped me in everyway. She gave advice, was so generous as to go and receive something I needed, even went to check on things and communicated things for me. I never would have expected that but it honestly helped me out tremendously and actually was a main point to helping the wedding go so smoothly. My husband and I aren't exactly comfortable taking pictures and I was nervous because I wouldn't know how we were suppose to pose or anything like that. Makena made us feel comfortable and directed us for the photos, which took away any nervousness. She was so warm and friendly. We even had a lot of comments from our guests about how nice she was. Our pictures came out amazing. She gave us a sneak peak the morning after which was so awesome to get to show off. The pictures came back at a more than reasonable time and I was very impressed by them. Her work is amazing and she is just a great person all around. Anyone would be lucky to get to work with her. We look forward to working with her for any other photoshoots we have in the future and recommend her to everyone we can. Thank you Makena for all that you did for us. We are so lucky!

Welcome! I'm Steve! Creativity should be about showing you the usual things unusually. It should be about using everything at that moment to produce something unique...ultimately, it's about dragging your client towards something bigger and better than they expect. It's about giving them experiences and photographs that belong on rock albums and movie posters!

Steve Bowman Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, his communication was quick, informative, and friendly. The quality of his work was stellar - they captured the most beautiful, artistic, and detail-oriented photos that we will treasure forever. They were able to get us our fully edited photos the same night, which was incredibly impressive. The best example is, the stunning family photo they took of my husband, daughter, and I - it's now my new favorite of the three of us and I can't stop looking at it. He also took incredible shots of my husband and I throughout the day that I'm so grateful to have. Plus, he made the whole experience easy and fun! We had a great time getting our pictures taken together for a first look before the ceremony. The value he provided was unbeatable, and we'll absolutely be using him again in the future.

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.

I worked with Three: Seventeen Photography LLC in 2019 on what was the hottest and rainiest days of the year. The original wedding was supposed to take place in an outside portion of the venue but had to be switched very quickly due to heat and severe storms. As a wedding planner it is always great to have vendors like Three: Seventeen Photography be able to pivot and work with the changes at hand. Not only did they step up when needed, they also worked on finding alternative photography locations on the spot due to the weather. They are professional and provided excellent service to the happy couple and I would recommend them to any future couple in need of a top quality photographer.

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 did an amazing job from our engagement photos to our wedding day. She was organized, helpful and made everything on our wedding day flow easily. We love our photo library and the many amazing photos we have to choose from will be cherished for years to come. We love the light, airy, style she has for weddings with a natural feel!
