Ward 3 was absolutely amazing; we were lucky enough to work with Elena as our lead photographer and Irv as our lead videographer and from the start everyone was so communicative and put us at ease even early on in the planning process. They all just kept asking day of, how they could help us make the day go smooth and it really truly meant more than I could ever explain because it showed they weren't just there for photos and a paycheck, but they were there for US as a couple. Super quick turnaround time with sneak peek photos and I'm already blown away by the talent Ward 3 has in their photographers. I cannot wait to see everything else and our video :) Would recommend them too absolutely everyone!

We truly cannot say enough good things about Veronica. She kept us ahead of every deadline and thought of things we never would have remembered on our own. Nothing slipped through the cracks. She was on top of everything and made the whole planning process feel so much less stressful. Veronica reviewed every contract and responded quickly to every question. She struck the perfect balance of being professional and incredibly personable. Our vendors, families, and wedding party all loved her, and she ran our rehearsal and wedding day with such calm confidence that we were able to just enjoy ourselves because we knew she had everything else handled. She also helped us throughout the day with little tips like where to hold my bouquet so it's not covering my whole dress in pictures—things that are just not on your mind at the moment. We really wanted to work with a queer vendor and our search brought us to Veronica! Very grateful she worked with us for our Chicago wedding. We’d choose her again in a heartbeat.

I have a passion for organization, thoughtful planning, and meaningful details. I believe the most memorable weddings are created through connection, which is why I take the time to truly get to know my couples and their families. My goal is to create a seamless, stress-free wedding day that feels personal, intentional, and unforgettable—allowing you to be fully present and enjoy every moment.

Awarded Best of Zola
Look no further!!!!! I cannot express enough how grateful we are to have had Sara as our month-of coordinator. From the very beginning, she was a source of calmness in what could have been a very stressful time. Her organizational skills were top-notch, and I could always rely on her to stay on top of every detail. She was genuinely kind, approachable, and made the planning experience so fun. Each booked vendor that came from Sara's recommendation was 10/10. She knows the local wedding industry well, and she respects her clients' budgets without losing quality. Sara’s kindness and sense of humor was a breath of fresh air, and I truly looked forward to every conversation and meeting with her. She had a way of making even the most mundane tasks feel fun, and I will really miss laughing with her during the planning process. One of the stand-out things I appreciated most about Sara was how she always had my back. She made sure that our wedding day was exactly how my husband and I envisioned it, no outside opinions or pressures influencing our decisions or timeline. Sara was incredibly respectful and professional with all guests and vendors, yet she kept it real in a way that made me feel totally comfortable to share any worries or thoughts I needed to talk through at any time. She made herself available for communication whenever I needed it, and talking to her truly felt like talking to a close friend—I always felt heard, supported, and like she genuinely cared about making our vision come to life. I knew she would step in and defend our vision no matter what. On the day of the wedding, Sara was beyond prepared. She anticipated every need before I even thought of it, and it was clear that she was completely dedicated to making sure everything ran smoothly. I will always look back on the day with a laugh as I picture Sara saving my dress with her Tide-to-Go pen, among other last-minute necessities she had packed. Sara’s attention to detail was incredible. She went above and beyond by transporting decor to and from various locations and found ways to make everything more convenient for us, so we didn’t have to lift a finger or stress about anything. Everything stayed so organized. Thanks to Sara, we were able to enjoy every moment of our wedding day without a single worry. Any potential anxiety I had that month was immediately eased, because I knew Sara had it all under control. She took care of every possible roadblock with such grace and efficiency that I didn’t even know there was a potential issue unless she absolutely needed to inform me. She handled everything exactly how I would have wanted, without ever involving me unnecessarily. What I will always remember about Sara is not just her professionalism and reliability, but the kindness, humor, and calming presence she brought to everything she did. She is genuinely one of the nicest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. We are so grateful for her.

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.

Stephanie was wonderful to work with as our wedding day photographer from start to finish. Her communication from when we first reached out to when the photos were ready was clear, timely and reliable. Her demeanor in each interaction was calm, organized and kind, which helped make the engagement photos comfortable and the wedding day enjoyable. Then there is her talent with photography! We are so happy with our wedding day photos and are so thankful for Stephanie's eye in capturing this day for us so beautifully.

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%!

Hey, I’m Alex—founder of Redwood Weddings and your behind-the-scenes bestie for all things planning. I didn’t grow up dreaming about weddings, but I did grow up organizing, (lovingly) bossing people around, and making sure everyone was taken care of. Turns out, those were all the signs. What started as a summer job at a Napa winery turned into a full-heart business here in Wisconsin. Now, I lead a team of detail-loving, down-to-earth planners who are obsessed with creating weddings that feel like magic—not cookie-cutter, just wildly you.

Awarded Best of Zola
There are NO WORDS to describe how amazing Redwood Weddings was to work with leading up to our wedding. Alex was incredibly helpful during the planning process in answering my random questions and giving advice. Our lead coordinator, Katie, who I called my "emotional support animal" lead us through the final 3 months of planning with ease, to ensure that our day was executed flawlessly with our experience as well as the guest logistics/experience in mind. On the wedding day, she was worth her weight in gold- she made my vision come to life, ensured that I was stress-free all day, and was such a kind and calming presence that even my family members took note on how amazing she was! I would recommend Redwood Weddings to everyone and my dream wedding would have never been possible without them throughout the whole process. I cannot say enough good things about these amazing ladies. Book them, you won't regret it!!!

Unique by Monique Weddings was created with you in mind. Details, no matter how big or small, are bound to slip through the cracks. Having a planner on-site can truly make all the difference on your big day! I have had the honor of working in the wedding industry for nearly 8 years now & have only recently branched off as an independent wedding planner. From your ceremony and reception to an engagement party or rehearsal dinner, let’s save you the stress & leave all the coordination to me!

Awarded Best of Zola
Monique was such an important piece to our big day, it’s hard to put all of the crucial things she did for us into one review. She is a wedding planner that just had the X-factor, she does it all! From day one of working with her, we could tell she wanted the best for us and wanted to make our lives easier by keeping wedding planning fun. One of the greatest things about having Monique was her responsiveness and ability to answer ANY questions we had. There are so many questions that pop up and before we worked with Monique we didn’t know where to go to get them answered, but after working with her it was such a relief to know she would help answer all of them. On our wedding day, she truly made our wedding dream come to life. We still don’t really know how she did it all, especially with our wedding or 250 people. We even added in an extra photo shoot to the timeline and some fun little things, and she helped the day flow so smoothly. All we had to do was get married and enjoy our company! It was so much fun, and a large reason we felt that way was because Monique was there to take care of all the stressors behind the scenes. (She even steamed my dress the morning of!!) If you didn’t know, she also does content creation packages and I think it is one of my favorite things that we decided to do for our wedding. She captured so many special moments and we got to relive our day right away! She sent over all the video and pictures and we are still rewatching and going through all the content she captured to this day.

My inspiration comes from those childhood photos -the memories they hold, the emotions they evoke, and the connections they preserve.

Upon my call with Hana, I knew I had to book her! She was so sweet & I could tell how much she cared about her work. The timeline process was smooth & I was fortunate to have her come for our Rehearsal boat ride and get pre-wedding coverage of us together and with our guests. She brought the greatest second photographer, Morgan, & they were both a wonderful addition to our day. Their personalities make you feel like they’re fun, sweet guests and not just another vendor. Not to mention, our photos feel like they’re out of a movie! My husband & I already framed two of our sneak peeks and can’t wait for the rest of her beautiful photos!

Lindsay Stayton Photography LLC 

5.0

Milwaukee, WI
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,900

Lindsay Stayton began her career in the photography industry in 2008. Her first gig was photographing The Worlds Largest Music Festival, Summerfest. In 2010, Lindsay was asked to photographed her first wedding after a couple stated "If you can photograph Flava Flave, then you can most definitely photograph our wedding!" Most couples have requested Lindsay to continue capturing life’s candid moments for their growing families, which led to her tag line: “Your Family Historian”. Lindsay has a distinct and unique style which captures real human emotion and candid moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
It’s honestly hard to capture in words just how incredible Lindsay is—not only as a photographer, but as a person. From the moment we first connected with her, it was clear she didn’t just see her role as “taking pictures.” She understood what our day was truly about: love, connection, and community. That perspective came through in every single interaction and every single image. When we were prioritizing our wedding budget, we knew photography would be at the very top. We decided to skip a videographer and planner and crossed our fingers that the photos would tell our story in the way we dreamed. Choosing Lindsay was without a doubt the best decision we could have made. Her talent, dedication, and passion shine through in a way that makes it clear she should never be considered “just another vendor.” She is a true artist, and worth every single penny. One of the biggest reasons we chose Lindsay was the diversity of couples she showcased in her portfolio. It meant so much to see ourselves reflected in her work, and it reassured us that she could capture the beauty, uniqueness, and authenticity of every couple’s love story. From start to finish, Lindsay gave us everything we could have asked for and then more. She guided us through engagement photos that were stunning and full of personality, and then on our wedding day, she showed up prepared, energized, and completely present. She not only took photos—she kept the day flowing. She helped us plan the timing of the schedule, moved groups seamlessly for portraits, and brought a sense of calm and confidence that allowed us to simply enjoy being in the moment. She even connected us with other vendors, showing how much she genuinely cares about her couples’ experiences beyond just the photos. And the photos themselves? Breathtaking. They are stunning, timeless, endearing, and true to the moment. She captured the big, emotional highlights of the day while also finding those in-between moments we didn’t even realize were happening—moments that make the memories so much richer. Our family and friends have been floored, with so many saying things like, “I never thought I could look that good in a picture” or “I can’t believe she managed to capture me actually smiling!” Lindsay has a gift for seeing people as they are and reflecting back their truest, most joyful selves. Looking through our gallery felt like reliving the day in the most beautiful way possible. These are the images we will share with family for years to come. Lindsay didn’t just document our wedding—she became part of the story, and the photos she gave us are part of our family history now. That’s why we know we’ll be returning to her for all of our future photography needs. She isn’t just a photographer; she’s a family historian, and we couldn’t be more grateful that she was the one to capture this chapter of our lives.

Getting married in WI while living and planning in CA could have been an interesting and difficult process but Amany made everything so easy from start to finish - organized, quick to respond & just the sweetest person to work with. She made the whole process totally stress-free. And Mary… I can’t say enough good things! She is SO talented and truly an artist. We first met on a virtual trial where I felt understood, comfortable and confident in the services to come. She nailed my vision perfectly — soft, glowy, and natural but still totally glam. My makeup lasted all day and night (highly recommend 10 hour day to switch things up from ceremony to reception) and I honestly felt like the most beautiful version of myself. My mom and friends all looked stunning too — everyone was obsessed! The day felt calm, fun, and full of good vibes thanks to Mary. This was not Mary's first rodeo and she was such a helpful joy to have around and someone I could trust throughout the entire day. I can't recommend Wide Eyed Bride more, absolute dream team and best decision I made for my wedding day!

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.

We had an amazing experience working with Kayla for our wedding. From my first introduction to her it was clear that she is extremely organized and thinks of every detail. For our engagement shoot we gave her a few ideas of the direction we wanted to go, and she created an entire vision. We were nervous about being unnatural in front of the camera and she made us feel comfortable, relaxed, and gave us good directions! We are so thrilled with how our wedding day photos turned out. She captured our day so beautifully with our family and friends and we truly couldn't be happier with our photos! We will cherish these memories she captured for life.

The Best Place at Pabst was so easy to work with, affordable, flexible drink packages, lots of fun amenities, natural atmosphere and decor means you don’t need to do much decorating of your own, I could go on and on.

We used the Blue Ribbon Hall which included a balcony space which we used to give our guests the opportunity to play classic WI card games; Euchre, Sheepshead, cribbage etc… It was a great, separate space to hang out but still be a part of the celebration and watch the dancing.

Hi, I'm Dominika. I'm happily married and a mama to two awesome daughters. I'm also a yogi and, admittedly, a wannabe Spaniard who would move back to Spain in a heartbeat to indulge in the simple pleasures of delicious tapas, red wine, cheese, and late dinners. Traveling and spending time with my little family brings my heart joy. Having lived and worked in Poland, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, Argentina, and Spain, has deeply inspired my will to explore more of the world and my style behind the lens to capture the essence of moments as they happen naturally and spontaneously.

Going back and reliving our wedding through Dominika's photos has been the best way to get over those post wedding blues. Besides capturing the most beautiful photos that we will treasure forever, she was incredibly wonderful to work with and an all around amazing person who I will miss calling/texting/emailing with! When we changed our wedding venue, a month and a half before the wedding, Dom immediately offered to go look at the new venue with me and was such a calming presence through a very stressful process. She really is the best and I’m so happy to have these beautiful memories!

Enrique did a phenomenal job for both our engagement pictures and wedding day pictures. He knows Milwaukee extremely well and recommended some fantastic spots for engagement pictures. He also recommended great photo locations for our wedding day group and couple pictures. Have quality photos of special moments like these is extremely important as the day went by so fast! Enrique brought a great vibe to the wedding party and made the day go by very smoothly. Katya and I highly recommend Enrique!

We had our wedding at the Barley Room in October and it was wonderful! Beautiful venue and the price point especially for the area is great. The bridal suite was perfect to get ready in. We loved being able to choose all of our vendors and make the space our own. Clai and Ann are very easy to work with. We are so happy we chose to have our wedding here :)

Black Orchid Beauty is the team you want setting the tone for the morning of your wedding. My team (Gina, Daya, Laura and Sadey) was professional, calm, and fun all at the same time. I don’t consider myself particularly well versed in hair and makeup and I don’t always have the most confidence in myself. From my trial through my wedding day, the team made sure that I felt relaxed and confident that I would look like an enhanced version of myself on my wedding day.

When the stands we provided for them didn’t work, they ran back to their studio to provide us with their own pedestals Besides their talent, they’re amazing humans who are professional, kind & very communicative! **I couldn’t wait for professional pictures to come back before posting this review

McKenna Marie Photography 

5.0

Milwaukee, WI
  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,999

I'm a photographer based in Milwaukee, WI. I WILL travel the world to capture your special moments. I've dedicated myself to specializing in natural light, lifestyle wedding and portrait photography, and capturing my clients' true personalities in my images.

McKenna was present (surprise to me!) at the proposal and caught our pictures perfectly (especially as I felt I was not prepared to be camera ready that day). She captured the event beautifully but also kept her space at such an intimate moment and then delivered the images quickly with edits. Of course we used McKenna for our engagement pictures as well (and she'll be there for the wedding). Our engagement shoot was a blast! We felt comfortable taking professional pictures in a public setting and McKenna knew exactly what she was doing from location to poses to making sure she captured a moment and a smile, and not feeling too staged. Again, with a quick turnaround on lovely, fun edited images. Honestly, before taking/seeing our pictures I had no idea what "style" of pictures meant but I quickly learned I love McKenna's use of light, color and nature. The pictures are truly timeless for years to come. McKenna is professional with communication, scheduling, making you feel comfortable on site and then returning the finished product in a timely manner.
