  • Serves Appleton, WI

My name is Elliot Stokes and I am a photographer located in the Madison, WI area, but I work all across Wisconsin and Illinois. I have been drawn to the camera since I was young, but becoming a father has really shown me the magic behind capturing the most candid and beautiful moments of our lives. I started my journey into professional photography officially in the summer of 2019 and received my Bachelors of Fine Arts degree with honors in Digital Photography in the spring of 2022. I absolutely love what I do and look forward to every new experience and opportunity this journey takes me on!

Absolutely incredible. He scouted out our shoot spot after a storm hit, incredible response time and turn around time but above all, just absolutely kind and you really felt like you got to know him in the time span of taking your photos. As people who have never had professional photos done and don’t like getting our photos taken at all, it was an incredible choice and we are SO glad we went with Developing Diamonds. Our family and friends loved them and couldn’t believe how well he was able to capture the moments where we were posed but it didn’t look like it. We recommend to everyone.

Hello! I am a passionate photographer who is obsessed with finding and creating beautiful moments. My philosophy about photography for the last 18+ years is to make it simple, with gorgeous light and to trust the power of capturing the connection between individuals. When I'm not busy chasing moments with my camera, I'm doing crafts and going on outdoor adventures with my family!

Awarded Best of Zola
As a videographer, I worked an anniversary project with Nicole and was very impressed with the professionalism I saw. You never know as a videographer, the type of photographer you will work with, but with Nicole, it was so easy to communicate what I wanted from my end, and she made the process so smooth. Would HIGHLY recommend!

Capturing moments, creating stories, sharing the love…is my passion. I want to be there for those surprise proposals, or on your wedding day, telling the story of your big day. I want to celebrate the moments your senior enters into adulthood, or freeze time when you are having a session with your family. I want to tell your story, that is authentically you!

Katie and Dani were the best wedding photographers we could have asked for! I can’t recommend them enough! We got married in October of 2022 and had a great experience with Katie! She was super easy to work with, and made taking pictures fun! She was making us laugh the entire time which helped to make us feel comfortable. She took time to answer our questions and was super professional. It got pretty cold that day and Katie even let me use her coat in between pictures! We got the pictures back in January and I’m obsessed!! They are GORGEOUS! I couldn’t be happier with the experience.

Hailey Stark Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Appleton, WI

I am so dang excited to hear all about your love story! I've always dreamed of being able to stay home and raise my babies but still be able to create the art that burns so passionately in my heart. When I'm not behind the camera, you can find me doing all the mom things. A few of my go-to activities include hiking a new spot, spending the day at my favorite beach, or camping in the pines. Truthfully, I've never said no to an adventure. You could ask me to hop a plane with you next week to the mountains and I would make it happen.

I will never stop recommending Hailey Stark Photography to everyone that I know! I don't even know where to begin. I truly have nothing negative to say about the experiences we have had with Hailey. There is no one else I would rather have had as our wedding photographer. Even with booking Hailey before we were engaged, she was so responsive to ALL of my questions and was always willing to give her expert advice. During both of our engagement sessions as well as on our wedding day, Hailey was able to work magic and take 2 people who are camera shy and give them the space and experience where we had FUN and laughed with her. For once, having pictures taken didn't feel like a chore AND we both loved the photos we received. As we left our first engagement session, my (now) husband and I said to each other that we felt like we had known Hailey for so much longer than the hour that we spent with her. The day of our wedding, Hailey was no less amazing. She was there whenever and wherever needed, even helping me secure my veil when I felt like it was becoming too loose. We haven't received our gallery yet as our wedding was just on 10/12, but I already know that we are going to love our photos because Hailey is so amazing at what she does. If I were to plan a wedding again, there is no doubt in my mind that I would choose Hailey as our photographer every time. I can't wait to have her photograph more of our life's milestone moments in the future!

From the moment we met Ashley Cynthia Photography, we knew we had found our perfect wedding photographer. Their communication style was fun and enjoyable, with constant banter that put us at ease.

Working with Emily was phenomenal! She worked with us on an engagement shoot and an 8-hour wedding day package. Through the planning process she was responsive and detailed. During the engagement session and at our wedding, Emily had a relaxed, confident energy that put myself and my partner at ease. It was so comfortable to work with her. She offered us expertise in refining our timeline for the day, resulting in a smooth day-of operation. Her photos were spectacular and were delivered much faster than we could have expected. We had two flower girls and a ring bearer (all in the five and under crowd) that Emily worked with brilliantly. She captured their joy in candid and beautiful staged photos. We are having a blast looking back at the wedding photos. Emily did a great job capturing all of the special moments and the fun we had. She provided a nice balance of posed portraits, intimate moments, venue details, and the dance floor party. We highly recommend Emily Stonelake Photography!

I've been photographing weddings and love stories for ten years and have captured 200+ wedding days. After photographing my very first wedding for a dear friend, I couldn't believe how much I LOVED photographing wedding days. To tell each couple's completely unique and beautiful love story from behind my camera...there is no greater honor and joy!

Awarded Best of Zola
First, I am SO incredibly happy I went with Winterlyn to capture my wedding day! As soon as she got to the venue, she went to work and did not stop until she left for the night. I appreciated her work ethic, professionalism, advice, and creativity. Her personality made it easy to have a great day, even in the midst of a little chaos. Also, I have to mention her second shooter, Antwonette, was a pleasure to work with as well! Second, the sneak peak pictures....BLEW ME AWAY! I wanted light, airy, magical pictures, and she delivered beyond my wildest dreams (and I only have seen the sneak peaks). Between the detail pictures, portraits, groups, ceremony and reception, Winter sure knows how to capture the magic of a wedding. If you are looking for a photographer, Winterlyn is hands down the best! Thank you for everything Winterlyn!

Mark Malec Photography

  • Classic style

  • Serves Appleton, WI

Mark Malec Photography is a wedding company located in West Bend, Wisconsin. Mark and Beth Malec, the owners of the company, aim to get to know each couple they work with prior to the wedding day in order to become more familiar with each couple's photographic needs and desires. This husband-and-wife team focuses on maintaining open communication throughout the planning process in order to provide accessible and transparent services. The company encourages couples to remain present and mindful on their wedding day, which enables Mark and Beth to capture genuine and natural images.

Where do we even begin? Starting with our engagement shoot, Mark and Beth made us feel so comfortable, and were so good at capturing the way we feel about each other. They have a great eye for what will make a good shot and we’re super attentive to details. They made the shoot so fun and we ended up with a great mix of formal shots and more fun/spicy shots. We had originally planned to just do our engagement shoot with them, as we were getting married out of state but when we got the proofs back, there was no question about paying the travel cost to have them capture our wedding day. They were totally on top of the planning process and really let us be creative with the shots that we wanted and what the day was going to look like. They were there for us every step of the way, and will make you feel like you can handle anything your crazy aunt or creepy family friend is going to throw your way on your day - they’ve seen it all and they play defense for you. Wedding day rolls around and they’re in full on production mode. When I say that I didn’t have to worry about a single thing on the wedding day, I mean it. They had our schedule, kept us on track, and most importantly, they kept us relaxed. I cannot stress enough how special it was to have them both there to get both angles of all of the moments - it’s not something you really think about until you see how special it is to have both sides of the first looks, walking down the aisle, and the first kiss. As my husband and I talked about the day on our way to our honeymoon a few days later, we agreed that choosing Mark and Beth was by far the greatest decision we made for our day. We loved them, and they gave us the most precious memories to cherish for ever. Their work speaks for itself, there’s no question about that, but I think the most important thing they bring is the passion they have for what they do, and I think that’s what made us trust them as much as we did. We really could not have asked for a better pair to work with, and every one in our family LOVED them. If there was any recommendation I had for future brides, it’s to let Mark and Beth be your people.
