Photography By Jill Emmer 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,900
  • Serves Wauwatosa, WI

Hi, I'm Jill! I've been photographing weddings in Wisconsin (and beyond) for 13+ years. I absolutely love shooting weddings and telling your story of your day. I'm not here for stiff poses and fake smiles — I want the ugly cry, the snort-laugh, the glance across the room that says everything. If that sounds like your kind of wedding photos, I think we'd be a great fit.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who is responsive, kind, and truly talented, I can’t recommend Jill enough! From the very beginning, she made us feel completely comfortable and at ease — something that meant a lot to me as someone who was nervous about being in front of the camera. Jill was incredibly responsive throughout the entire process, patiently answering all our questions and helping us figure out the perfect photo timeline for the day. On the wedding day itself, she brought such a calm and confident energy that helped everything flow naturally. What really stood out was how seamlessly she captured all those beautiful, candid moments — the laughter, the quiet glances, the small interactions that make the day so special. I was initially worried about the “posed” photos feeling stiff, but Jill made them fun and relaxed — and most of our favorite shots ended up being unposed, authentic moments that she somehow caught perfectly. Even my father, who is notoriously particular and has been a wedding photographer himself for decades, had nothing but praise for her — he actually complimented her photography style (which never happens!). Our photos are absolutely stunning — timeless, full of emotion, and beautifully composed. Jill has an incredible eye for detail and light, and she truly knows how to tell the story of the day through her images. We feel so lucky to have found her and will cherish these photos forever. Sorry I can't upload my photos for some reason but they are stunning!

At heart, I am an adventure enthusiast and lover of simplicity. Each moment in life's grand adventure should be acknowledged as something to be grateful for which is why I love documenting candid and classic moments.

Alison documented our October wedding, the best day of our lives. Everything she did was absolutely perfect! Your wedding day is one of the biggest days of any brides life and she made me feel so comfortable! She would give me tips and tricks to calm my nerves which helped tremendously! Alison came prepared and knew exactly what to do, where to go, and what to say! She was extremely flexible, especially since our whole wedding changed. Not only did she drive 3.5 hours to get to our new destination, but she also stood in 30 degree weather with us. True dedication. Alison is literally the best, she is very passionate about photography and making her client as happy as can be!

Stephanie Koppa - Photographer

  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves Wauwatosa, WI

Hey! Allow me to introduce myself - I'm Stephanie. Born & raised in Wisco but I have a wandering soul. I love photographing love. Silly love, sweet love, crazy love, & any kind in between. Adventurous couples are my jam - those that aren't afraid to jump in a lake fully clothed or hang out with alpacas in the freezing cold for their shoot. I live for shoots where we are all barefoot, hanging by the lake, enjoying the sunset while I capture the moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
Stephanie Koppa was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day. From the very start, her communication was easy, accountable, and completely transparent, putting our minds at ease throughout the entire process. She was up front about pricing which we really appreciated. The quality of their work was truly incredible - the photos were absolutely beautiful and made me tear up when I first saw them. We booked Courtney as our head photographer and she knew exactly what she was doing! She made everything feel so easy and relaxed, and their team went above and beyond, even sending us prints of our photos with a beautiful Christmas ornament! They gave us so many good edited photos I was truly blown away. If you are thinking about booking Stephanie Koppa, do it - they are so thoughtful and talented, and will ensure your wedding day is captured perfectly.

I am a person who breathes art in all forms. Visual art, music, behavioral and conceptual. The process of creation has always provided me with great satisfaction and being able to combine the creative process with a service that can bring joy to so many people is tremendously fulfilling.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ari was great to work with! He was communicative, professional and always thinking of the details. There were options to fit our budget as well. Mark was our photographer and WOW HOLY COW! He was fun to work with and had this innate ability to bring out the best in everyone when capturing all the special moments. Then we received our digital photos, and they were absolutely spectacular! We were so impressed. Mark caught all moments with our family, friends and us, the bride and groom, that were loving, happy, beautiful, comedic, unexpected, reflective... We are in awe with all the shots and the quality. They are amazing. Ari also worked with us to do some minor editing on a few photos and organize them into a drop site. Definitely recommend Ari and Mark 100%!

Did you know that you are around your photographer more than any other vendor on your wedding day? It's so important to love your photographer and their style. I want to connect with you and take photos that really tell your story.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our first call with One Shot Scott Photography, we knew we were in good hands. She was incredibly responsive, helpful, and personable throughout the entire wedding planning process. On the day of our wedding, her attention to detail and ability to seamlessly capture all the special moments was truly impressive. The final photos were absolutely beautiful, plentiful, and perfect - we couldn't have asked for a better outcome. One example that stands out was when I asked her what time it was, and she simply told me not to worry about it, which I loved because it allowed me to be fully present without having to constantly check the clock. We are beyond thrilled with the work One Shot Scott Photography did and would highly recommend them to any couple, especially LGBT couples, looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

Hi, I'm Savannah - a passionate visual storyteller with a deep love for capturing moments that matter. Whether it's the raw emotion of a wedding, or the excitement of a surprise proposal, my camera is my way of seeing the world — and sharing it with others. With 7+ years of experience behind the lens, I've developed a style that blends neutral and earthy tones to create timeless images full of depth and soul. My goal? To make you feel something when you look at your photos — to bring you back to a moment, a feeling, a story. Based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, I'm available for shoots locally and beyond. Let's create something beautiful together.

Working with Savannah R Photo has been a breeze from start to finish. She responds quickly to messages and was totally flexible when we needed to schedule our engagement shoot, getting the photos edited and back to us in no time. The quality of her work is professional and artistic without feeling overdone—everything feels real and captures who we are. We loved how fast she worked with us and how laid-back the whole process felt, which made us feel comfortable and relaxed. We're excited to have her shoot our wedding day and can't wait to see what she captures. We got a great recommendation to book her and we'll definitely be recommending her to everyone!

With 10 years of experience, Cassaundra began her photography journey at the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire as a Fine Arts student majoring in Photography. During her time in college, she assisted and second shot for many wedding's and events. In 2014, Cassaundra moved to Arizona on a whim and began her own photography business. The desert and mountains ignited in her a new passion for photography. After a short stint in LA, Cassaundra now lives in Milwaukee with her eight-year-old daughter. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, martial arts, and doing art with her daughter.

Cassaundra Cherney Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding! Cassaundra was very communicative on her schedule, needs and working with us on what vibes we wanted for the wedding. She shot our engagement, photos after and our wedding day! Cassaundra went so far as to hide under a boat to keep the engagement photos a surprise. The wedding photos were absolutely beautiful, and she went above and beyond for service and helpfulness throughout the day. Cassaundra is so easy to work with and makes the space relaxed. She has a background in event planning, so she understands the ins and outs of a wedding day and can communicate effectively with everyone - family, staff, other vendors and more. She was a true professional and a delight to have for our special day!

I got to work alongside Liz as her second shooter this past fall and a gorgeous venue in WI! She was pregnant at the time and handled the entire day like a boss!! She was easy going and treated her couple like close friends, making sure they were taken care of and thoroughly enjoying themselves. When the time came for direction, Liz knew exactly how to pose her couple and made sure they weren’t left feeling awkward or like they didn’t know what to do. She knew how to handle the day balancing between fun candids and easy prompts when needed. I definitely look forward to working with her again in the future!!

Hello there sweet friend! My name is Taylor Chmill and I’m a photographer based in Milwaukee, WI! Most people call me TK and know me as the girl who loves summer camp and has alllll the freckles! I'm outgoing with a bubbly personality and I can't wait to learn how I can serve you best on your beautiful wedding day!

Awarded Best of Zola
I was first drawn to Taylor’s style of photography - bright and cheerful. After we met with her, it was clear her personality matched. She is clearly very organized and can sweetly but firmly command the room. She also helped us so much with planning (and replanning!) the schedule for both our small wedding ceremony in 2020 and big rescheduled wedding reception in 2021. She was always excited and open to small personal things I wanted to add. I cannot recommend her enough (and to back that up, my maid of honor also picked Taylor to photograph her wedding next year as well!)

Have you ever met someone who all of the sudden, seems like your best friend? Hi, I'm Nicole your new best friend. To me, the most exciting part about photographing weddings is building a relationship with my couples. I'm a happy person who photographs happy couples. I'll bring an optimistic energy to any wedding day. If you're someone who is more excited about marrying your best friend, than the wedding day itself, then you might be a #nicolemirocouple.

Awarded Best of Zola
Seriously, if you came across Nicole's information - look no further. You'll know from the very first interaction, this girl is fun, personable, caring and professional. She has a full blown process from start to finish, including providing printed style / informational guides, etc. For a type A bride like me, she was so thorough and basically did the thinking for me. For my, now husband, he wanted a photographer that would help him feel comfortable and give direction while photographing; she nailed it. When it came time for delivery, we were blown away. I've already referred her to several other people and she always over-delivers. We are so happy to have hired her and are thankful to have her as our go-to photographer from now on.

Hi loves, I'm Sarah! I'm a destination wedding photographer and mother of two... CATS! I'm a big dreamer, romantic and creator, so you can only imagine how much I love what I do and sharing my passion with the couples I meet. I'm all about documenting authentic moments and getting to learn your love story. Because of how much I travel, I personally only take on a number of weddings per year as I'm very intentional with the work I do! If I'm not personally available, I have a team and they're amazing! So, if you love my style and don't mind working with my team the day of your wedding, the option is always there for you.

Sarah did an amazing job from the get go. She showed up earlier then she said she would and got some great shots I didn't even know she was taking. She was around for the entire night and captured the essence of our wedding. We are so happy with our pictures and the quality of work provided by Sarah. The turnaround time for the pictures was less then two months even though the contract says up to three (we got lucky!). We love them and are so appreciative of the memories.

We believe finding love is the most earth-shattering and course-changing event of your life. Your wedding is an opportunity to share who you are, as individuals and together. It's a reflection of your personalities and style, but it’s also about your most deeply held beliefs. Wedding stories are full of hope, joy, and friendship. They touch on all we hold dear. We believe those are stories worth telling. And it’s an honor to be the ones behind the camera telling that story. That’s why we put our heart and souls not just into the day of your wedding, but walking through the whole process with you, beginning to end.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Eron and his team from Front Room Photography at a wedding at the American Club in Kholer. Everyone on the team was extremely professional, easy to work with and fun! I am a wedding planner and have worked with many photographers; I must say the quality of their work is fantastic and I will be extremely happy to work with Front Room Photography in the future :) Thank you for the gorgeous images!

It used to be just me, Heather, alone in a darkroom, working the lovely, lonely magic of hand developing and printing images. But I needed more sunlight and more people, and to explore the world. So, I studied and lived in Italy, became an architect, rode a few camels and a Vespa. I went on safari, hiked South America, listened to desert drums in Morocco. And most importantly I fell in love and got to do it all with my soulmate, cameras in hand, our hearts ever expanding to include three little girls of our own.

I worked with Sara for my wedding and I got my sneak peaks back recently, they are all true to life and magazine quality. I love their editing style, its bright without being oversaturated - it feels more real than a typical moody style would. Working with the team was also great, they were the experts with recommendations where needed and understanding and enthusiasm when it came to personal vision. They are also prompt with communication and quick to deliver beautiful work. Sara was there supporting me through high emotion moments and times when the last thing I wanted to do was smile for my thousandth photo. 100% amazing team. Would recommend any day!

They helped us with the timeline, gave great advice during planning, and on the wedding day they constantly kept an eye on the schedule — honestly acting like a coordinator in the best way possible. They guided us through poses so everything felt natural and never forced. The team noticed every detail and made sure nothing was missed. The photos are amazing — emotional, elegant, and beautifully edited. The video is incredible, capturing every important moment and even moments we didn’t realize were happening. This is truly the best photo and video team in Illinois. We couldn’t recommend IG PHOTO VIDEO more.
