KMauck Photography LLC

Milwaukee, WI
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,100

Hi, I’m Kelsey! I am a wedding photographer! I am obsessed with dogs. I will never not acknowledge a dog near me by saying “puppers”. It is what it is. I would 100% rather be on the beach somewhere with palm trees. I am constantly daydreaming about being in the tropics. I love the color black. If we work together, there is a high chance that will be my outfit color of choice.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kelsey did our proposal shoot, engagement shoot, a random photoshoot we planned, and our wedding. She is so easy to work with and makes us feel so comfortable working with her. She goes above and beyond with her delivery of images too. She’s always given us more images than what we’ve paid for just because she enjoys the shoot so much and the images. You can tell she loves what she does through her work! She’s always timely with her shoots and delivery of images! She got us close to 100 preview images within a day of our wedding. We love working with her and highly recommend her!!!

Lindsay Stayton began her career in the photography industry in 2008. Her first gig was photographing The Worlds Largest Music Festival, Summerfest.

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.

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,900

Hi! I'm Alex, a wedding photographer based out of Milwaukee, WI! I've been a photographer since 2017 and have fallen absolutely in love with capturing love stories! When I'm not behind the camera, you can likely find me traveling (I'm in Arizona a lot), snuggled up at home with my pups, or trying local coffee shops!

Alex is not only such a kind person to work with, but she is also incredibly talented! Alex did both our engagement photos and our wedding photos and they are stunning! Our engagement session on the beach was so dreamy and looked like we were in a movie. We just recently got married and Alex did an AMAZING job capturing our photos. We received so many sneak peaks from her and I was immediately smiling and spending the next few HOURS just staring at the photos. She captured our moments so perfectly and I am so happy we will forever have these photos. Alex was so easy to work with and truly cares about the couples she works with. I would highly recommend her for your wedding and any other photo needs!

Chelsea Matson Photography 

5.0

Milwaukee, WI
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,600

Hi! I grew up in NY and came to Milwaukee 8 years ago - you could say it was for love. We have settled in and embraced our new community. I have been so lucky to always have working with people at the forefront of everything I do. From teaching to non profit work, photography allows me to do all of those things. I LOVE being outside and exploring new places. We live on the shores of Lake Michigan and visit the beach regularly year round. When I am not frolicking and photographing amazing people, I am usually spending time with my nutty little family outside.

Chelsea is an absolute dream! She has an incredible eye and captures the big moments, but also the intimate and special moments throughout the day. Her photos are stunning and so so special, as she really gets to know you and your family. Chelsea will find the beauty in and celebrate what is special about/unique to you as a couple, and the results show that. She is so kind, easy and fun to work with, and was a real support throughout our whole planning process. Especially since we got married during the pandemic we had a lot of questions and unique hoops to jump through. Chelsea was always willing to talk through details (even those not photo-related!), share suggestions, etc. throughout our planning process. The day of Chelsea was a joy to have around and her positive energy and willingness to do whatever it took for the perfect shot (including walking backwards for several blocks during our mariachi band parade through the streets) is unmatched. I recommend Chelsea Matson Photography to any and everyone- you will not be disappointed!

Cream City Weddings

Milwaukee, WI
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,499

In 2011, Scott Patrick founded Cream City Weddings to provide a collection of quality, creative services under one roof. His team includes talented photographers, videographers, album and graphic designers, DJs, officiants and event planners. The focus, however, is still he same, to collaborate with clients to create top quality images that tell the story of their business, social event, or family milestone. If you're looking for authentic, creative, documentary styled images for your business or event, please contact us. We’ll collaborate with you to create an amazing set of images to tell your story.

I absolutely loved working with Cream City Weddings. They gave me exactly what I asked for (which was amazing ) but my inability to be open minded and consider other possibilities has left me with some regrets. The photography was great and I love looking through my album but I wish I would have been open to the possibility of a video. Truthfully when I was planning my wedding everything came down to cost and I could not see past the bottom line. Cream City Weddings was incredibly respectful of my budget and did not push me however I wish they would have. Be open to different possibilities and make sure you communicate with your photographer because you get one chance to do this.

Sam at Ampersand Photography was a pleasure to work with. Sam was great at communicating, even giving me the answers to her questionnaire so I could compare it to mine.

Working with Sam was great, and I highly recommend her to all my couples!

Puneet S Ghai Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Milwaukee, WI

My photography business was born in sunny San Diego, but a new adventure has led me to the midwest! I currently live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with my wife, our two cats, Nesta and Zinnia, and our dog, Clementine. I studied Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavior at UC Davis and went on to my Masters at UCSD in Healthcare Administration. Through all of this professional development, photography has been my constant and my creative outlet. I have been capturing moments for the past six years. To me, photography is a practice and a ritual. I am inspired by emotion, movement and adventure. I can't wait to meet you and capture your adventures.

I've worked alongside a lot of photographers, & Puneet is among the best of em. He was both professional & good-natured for the whole event. I personally knew the couple we were working for, and I was in awe of the album he put together afterwards. Not only was I amazed by all the perfect moments he was able to capture, but the pictures of my food was some of the best I've ever seen. In short, I highly recommend this dude.

Retired actress, ex-celebrity nanny, Los Angeles expat turned editorial photographer and intimate chronicler of your love, I'm Ashton. My eye for aesthetic was honed during my 15 years in L.A. but my roots are as midwestern and full of heart as Brett Favre winning the 1997 Superbowl. I value love, human connection and well executed visions coming to fruition as fully experienced celebrations, documented honestly and preserved as imagery that you can feel forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a wedding coordinator, I love working other vendors that are professional, clear, and KIND. Ashton was all of those things! She was super professional, had excellent communication beforehand and day-of, and ran a super tight ship. Her work is stunning, and she is one of the kindest and most genuine people I've gotten the chance to work with. Highly recommend!

Awarded Best of Zola
I highly recommend this company to take photos at your wedding! We loved our photographer Percy. He was incredible, and so helpful. He came with several cameras and valued all of our ideas, and when we became stumped he offered ideas for us to try as well. He was very professional, kind, caring, and always on top of the game taking photos. Towards the end of our night he started to put the camera away and brought it back out to catch a few final moments. He was on top of responding to all questions before, during, and after. He took photos of me and my husband before the ceremony and got some wonderful shots (it was a 95 outside wedding so this was much appreciated because we all had some sweat on our faces). But before we got Percy and our booking process with eivans it was super simple, and just an overall great experience.

OLAS also helped us create a detailed day-of timeline to ensure everything ran smoothly. We're thrilled with the photos and couldn't have asked for a better photography experience for our wedding.
