  • Serves Waukesha, WI

We’re Sarah & Zach—the team behind Hamer Visuals. We don’t just document weddings—we turn them into something you can feel. Part editorial, part cinematic, and fully intentional—our approach blends direction, movement, and real moments so your day doesn’t just look good… it hits. You won’t be left wondering what to do. You won’t feel stiff or staged. We guide when it matters, step back when it doesn’t, and create space for moments that actually feel like you.

“As someone who hates getting her photo taken by anyone, Sarah Hamer made getting my photo taken super fun and super easy. Sarah was incredibly helpful in figuring out what I wanted for my engagement photos and making them possible. She was easy to work with and flexible with what my fiancé and I were looking for in our photos. Sarah came up with some fun ideas that really worked with our personalities, which made this a fun experience! She genuinely cared about our comfort and making us feel natural with getting our photos taken. When I struggled to give an authentic smile, Sarah would do something silly to get me to give a real, genuine smile. It was a great experience and I would recommend her to anyone looking for wedding photos to be done, especially if you hate getting your photos taken like myself! She is by far the best photographer I have had the pleasure to work with!”

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.

I was that kid enchanted by Disney Princess movies and the idea of "true love". My true love revealed itself through photography. At 8, I grabbed my dad's camera and was hooked, thrilled to show people my world. I started with zoo animals, friends, and siblings, eager to freeze moments in time. As I grew, I learned from local photographers and knew by 17 that photography was my calling. Since then, I’ve captured love in all its forms: couples, new parents, best friends, and the joy of seeing your favorite band live. The world is full of magical firsts, and I'm honored to capture these moments forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Kaitlyn and her husband are just absolutely amazing. My husband and I are not the most used to being photographed, and they completely take the awkwardness out of it. In the moments where it was harder for us to be “candid”, they helped us by giving us prompt type things to follow and it helped so much! Kaitlyn and Jake are both so kind, down to earth, and talented, and were so helpful outside of photography needs throughout the day as well! Jake helped my husband and his groomsmen figure out how to work their cufflinks, and she helped myself, my mother, and my maid of honor button my dress. Kaitlyn did our engagement photos as well, and we already have another appointment booked! We’ll work with her forever if we can.”

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

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, I'm Ashley! I'm a professional wedding photographer based in Northern Illinois! At my core, I’m a giggly, bubbly, empathetic goofball with a welcoming heart. I've had roots in the wedding industry for a while now and have taken on many roles and worn many hats in this profession!

This is the driving factor behind my “why” and where my passion for photography and the wedding industry takes root.

“This was our second time working with Ashley. The first was for our wedding back in 2022. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and again! Her energetic and sweet personality made us feel comfortable to be silly and relaxed while posing. She was great with our toddler and dog as well! Ashley was able to capture beautiful posed photos and also the chaotic, yet everyday moments of chasing a toddler around. The end result were beautiful photos that captured who we are as a family.

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.

“I cannot recommend Kayla highly enough. She was efficient and on time. She did a great job of wrangling our crazy group. She did a beautiful job capturing our wedding day. She got so many beautiful, small moments I was able to reflect on long after our big day was over, and she even caught things I missed! She was fun and positive and the ultimate hype girl. Not to mention, she did all this just a month after becoming a first time mom. 10/10 HIRE KAYLA!”

Hi, friend! I’m Devin, a wedding and portrait photographer based in Lombard, Illinois. I serve Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, Milwaukee, Rockford, and I’m always up for an adventure. I absolutely love celebrating with my couples on one of the best days of their lives! I’m always up for an adventure! I’ve never met a mountain that I didn’t like. I love my dogs (all dogs TBH), Leslie Knope, and the Great British Bake Off. I would love to hear about your story and your vision for your wedding day!

“My husband and I hired Devin for our 2021 wedding....after it had been postponed due to COVID - it was a stressful time! The absolute silver lining is that Devin was SUCH a good fit for our vibe: she put us at ease and took photos that were vibrant and fun (rather than tender and serious). She got to know us and photographed us "as we wanted to be seen." The other component of this is that when we received our wedding (and engagement) photos, they were all excellent. I am CERTAIN that Devin had to cull through a bunch of awkward shots....but the ones she sent made me feel super attractive always. Excellent judgement on her part! Reviewing our wedding photos let us relive the day - it captured not only the visuals but the *feel* of the day. Since then, I've also hired Devin to shoot musician headshots for me, with the same experience. I would hire her again with enthusiasm!”

When you look back at your album decades from now, I don’t want you to just remember what you looked like. I want you to remember exactly how it felt. I’m here for the quiet whispers, the loud laughs, the messy hair, and the moments that leave you breathless. Because your love isn’t a curated catalog—it’s a living, breathing piece of art.

“We've worked with Jasmine from Shutter Lane Imagery for the last five years, and she captured our milestones long before our wedding day. On our wedding, she kept everything running smooth while laughing and engaging with us the whole time, she wasn't just hiding behind the lens. Jasmine's energy and bubbly personality made our day feel special, and her heart for what she does really shines through in her work. Her communication before the wedding was quick and clear, which gave us peace of mind leading up to the big day. The photos came back fast and they're incredible. We can't recommend Shutter Lane Imagery enough.”
