From the moment we booked Picture This Photography Studios, we knew we were in good hands. Ryan and his team were responsive, professional, and easy-going throughout the entire process. On the day of the wedding, Ryan kept things on track from start to finish and even had a wooden hanger ready for my dress shots.

I love photographing real moments of people in love. With me, I work hard for you to feel comfortable to be yourselves, so that I can capture the most creative, endearing swoon-worthy moments. My style is a mix of candid and editorial, and while I'll make certain to grab those mandatories with fam, the majority of your photos will be captured "moments" — especially between the bridal couple. My editorial-style wedding photography and engagement photos will capture those moments, those details, those looks you gave one another, that you may forget about 20 or 50 years from now, but will be able smile upon when you look at your wedding photos.

Not only is Emily an absolute DREAM to work with, she is an AMAZING talent. Cannot recommend her enough & will be doing exactly that to all clients looking for incredible photos to remember their big day.

We had a great experience with Joe Nagan as our DJ for our wedding! He was great with communication, and we appreciated the check in meetings leading up to our wedding to make sure all the details were accurate. I personally had complicated family situations that Joe was able to help me navigate with first dances and changing things around the week of which was helpful. The actual wedding was great, he was so sweet to my husband and I in any interactions we had and we had great feedback from our guests on the songs that were played during open floor dance. Thank you, so much, Joe!

I’m Anthony, and I believe your wedding film should feel like a genuine chapter in your story. I craft each wedding as a narrative storyboard—capturing real emotions and unscripted moments—so your final film unfolds authentically. Let’s connect and turn your honest moments into a timeless, personal film you’ll cherish forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
Anthony was easy to work with at the wedding. I was a DJ at the wedding I worked with him and from an artistic standpoint, what I saw of his work so far was great. Just like the rest of the vendors at this wedding, he went with the flow and went above and beyond to give the couple the best experience they could get especially under the crazy weather circumstances we had! Rain almost all day, thunderstorms, a tornado warning (it was an outdoor tent wedding) and some high winds that almost took out the tent! Despite that, he remained positive and fun. His needs from me were minimal (tapping into my sound system) and he made sure I wasn't busy when he asked me about it. If the rest of his work is as good as the little I've seen so far, you can't go wrong with his video service!

I'm a Wisconsin-based photographer with a love for storytelling, genuine connection and finding magic in the in-between moments. I’m fueled by tacos, crispy Diet Coke, and golden hour magic. I believe your wedding day should feel like you—and your photos should, too. I photograph couples who don’t mind a little dirt on their dress or wind in their hair if it means chasing golden light. Couples who care more about being present than being perfect. This isn’t just about pretty photos—it’s about capturing your story in a way that feels like you, and having a dang good time doing it.

Kati is a phenomenal photographer! We felt at ease and like ourselves while she captured the magic of our most special day so beautifully. Kati and Chris did an exceptional job keeping track of desired photos and the schedule without making us feel rushed. We can't stop reliving our perfect day through Kati's lens!
