Emily Kettner Photography

Appleton, WI
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,000

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.

Emily is amazing and so reliable! From engagement photos to your wedding day- you will be in excellent hands.

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.

Colleen is absolutely wonderful to work with. She is clearly very passionate about what she does, and it shows in her work and while you work with her. Colleen took the time to get to know my husband and I over zoom and during our engagement shoot, and she made us feel so comfortable taking photos. On our wedding day, she worked so well with the entire wedding party. We had so much fun working with her! My entire wedding party has nothing but great things to say about her as well as her assistant, Jamie. All of our pictures came out beautifully, and Colleen helped to curate a book for us after the wedding. We’re so happy to have a keepsake to forever remember our wedding day.

Love stories are my passion! I love everything about weddings from capturing your first look to the tender moments on the dance floor at the end of the night when its just you and your honey. At Sam Lauersdorf Photography we capture your day we professionalism, creativity, spunk and passion. I can't wait to meet you!

Sam was amazing to work with!!! She was super sweet and helpful through the whole process, starting with the first round of video calls! I felt like she was right fit for our wedding based off of her work and personality. She worked great with our photographer, Heather Collins! Collin & I loved that she was able to get our whole wedding dance on video!!! This moment was extremely special, as the song we danced to, was the exact same song, Keith Urban played for us at his concert in Milwaukee in June 2024! We loved being able to show people who couldn’t make it our wedding what we have been working so hard on. As well as being able to look back that dance! Another special thing that Sam did was the interviews! We loved that we got to pick some family friends. I talked to the couple I picked well after our wedding, they were so honored but surprised that they were asked to talk about us. We also had our grandmas say a few things. In addition, our grandmas were our flower girls, so this is something we are going to treasure for a long time. Sam was extremely patient with us, as after our ceremony, we went to the family cabin. Took some pictures with our dogs, and then read our semi private vows. It was so windy out while we worked on this, that we had to redo some pictures especially with the veil. We love that we were able to get Sam out to the cabin to have our vows recorded on the same doc, where Collin proposed to me. Overall, she was awesome to work with! And we got some bonus photos from her! (Which turned out amazing!) Everyone we showed the videos to, loved them just as much as we did! Only thing I wish I had was some video footage of our grand March of our wedding party.

John, the owner and lead videographer, understands the importance of preserving this important time in your life. He is very passionate about telling compelling stories through cinematic story telling.

We found Frassetto Films through an honest google search for "wedding videographer near Oshkosh". I only had one consult before meeting with John, and I knew from that first Zoom meeting he was the right man for our wedding. We had a very nontraditional and unconventional ceremony and reception. We wanted someone fun who would be able to keep up on all the nonsense and shenanigans that the day would bring. John did his best at capturing the sweet, sentimental moments all the way to the downright ridiculous moments. He was equally excited, especially when he found out our food was being provided by Pete's Garage in Oshkosh. I booked him pretty early in the wedding planning process, so it was quite the wait to see how day unfolded. Communication was great throughout the year and a half engagement. There were never any questions left unanswered. He worked great with our photographer and other vendors. He is also a firm believer in letting you enjoy the day; you almost forget he's there with a camera. There were never any uncomfortable moments. He shared a teaser video a few days after the wedding which left us wanting more, obviously! He even posted a tik tok snippet of our ceremony which all of our guests and officiant keep raving about and sharing! I cannot wait to see the final product!

From the seating before the ceremony, to the last song of the night, I want to handle all your music and entertainment needs. Why hire multiple people for your music services when you can get it all in one place? It’s like playing telephone—more people means more communication, more of a time commitment, and unfortunately more money and mistakes. Things get lost in translation…. But not with me. Once hired, we have a meeting or two discussing what you want your wedding to look and sound like. After that, you can stop stressing about your music needs and just leave it up to me.

Our wedding day experience would not have been the same without Derek! He went above and beyond in making our day special and tailored to us. We gave him songs for the ceremony and he made them his own and added his own flare making them unique for our day. He also played live for our cocktail hour where I received several compliments from our guests. Finally he was our dj for the reception helping to announce our wedding party with enthusiasm and kept our guests packed on the dance floor all night. I would recommend Derek 100 times over! He was so easy and smooth to work with and an absolute joy to have. He even worked with my wedding party to record a song they wrote to surprise us with. I’ve been at other weddings and events that he’s done and the energy and professionalism he brings is always top notch. Derek puts his heart and soul into all he does and he's one of a kind! Book him! You won’t be disappointed!

What happens when you take two hopeless romantics that are obsessed with style and have an impeccable eye for detail? You get Behind the Veil Photography. AJ and Ross have over 25 plus years of experience in visual storytelling, and they share that passion through the highest quality photography and videography that exceeds the expectation of every single couple.

Behind the veil were incredible! We hired them for our engagement and wedding photos and for videography. During the wedding they went around to Sarah and my grandparents and edited into the wedding video tiny little interview of our grandparents sharing their love stories and advice and it will remain the most beautiful keepsake for both of us. If you book someone else for your big day you’re making a mistake. This team is as good as it gets. And they had our photos and videos done in ONE WEEK.
