Hey, Im Grant. I'm a Madison, WI based wedding photographer who specializes in a documentary approach using both film and digital photography. If you want your wedding gallery to be uniquely yours (vs a Pinterest shotlist), then I'm your guy.

Grant is a skilled, creative, and decisive photographer, but what I feel sets him apart is the care and attention he gives each client. From my conversations with him and the work he shares on social media, it is so evident he puts careful thought into providing the best experience possible for each couple he works with. Bringing him on for your big day is definitely one of the best decisions you can make as you plan your wedding.

I'm a midwest wedding photographer specializing in wedding photojournalism. I believe a wedding day is a celebration, not a photoshoot. Come as you are and know you don't need to pose and perform for the camera. The real stuff is the good stuff.

We cannot say enough great things about having Caitlin as our wedding photographer! From our first meeting to engagement shoot and right up to the big day she was so easy to work with. She was always quick to respond to emails and questions. Even through all the COVID craziness, she was flexible with every change that came our way and was willing to adjust timing, schedule, location, etc. My husband and I were nervous in front of the camera at first, but she made us laugh, kept us talking, and encouraged us to be our natural selves. On the wedding day, she did not stop working for a second! She had talked and planned with us beforehand, so made sure to get all the specific photos she knew we wanted. We love how all our pictures turned out- she captured the emotions of our day perfectly!

Hi, I'm Jenna! I'm a destination wedding and elopement photographer living in Madison, Wisconsin. My approach is artistic and documentary, focusing on candid moments and real emotion which results in non-traditional wedding photographs.

Jenna is AMAZING! She was so easy to work with, and highly professional. My husband and I were drawn to the authenticity of her work, and we are so in love with our engagement and wedding photos! Jenna captured the genuine emotion of our wedding day, without any of the "cheesiness" that can be typical of wedding photos. On our wedding day, Jenna and her second shooter, Cody, were present to capture all our special moments, but it never felt crowded or overwhelming. We're also really glad that we went with the option to have a second shooter. We would highly

Samantha Rose Photo

Madison, WI
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,000

I’m a midwest wedding photographer documenting love honestly and authentically. Capturing moments as they happen. I want your photos to tell your story, whether that’s wild and loud, romantic and intimate, somewhere in between or a little of it all. I fell in love with photography at a young age, growing up I was always snapping photos of the people and places I loved, or of the beauty that this world surrounds us with. I’m sentimental as hell and have always loved the idea of capturing a moment and holding it in time forever.

Sam is very professional and made us so comfortable! She is fun with lots of creativity. Hands down someone I will keep going back to. I can't thank her enough for the moments she has captured for not only just me, but for my family. Highly recommend her!

This is how you flip tradition... or just flip it off! There are no rules saying what a wedding must-have. As long as you’ve got each other, you’ve got everything you need for an honest, romantic, meaningful, and authentic wedding. No judgment, you’re free to roam.

My own love story makes my heart skip a beat, and that’s my inspiration for capturing yours. For me, photography started as a fun, creative outlet—but it quickly became a way to bottle up the most meaningful moments in life. I love freezing those moments in time that make us want to hit “rewind” or at least “pause” for a little while. The moments that make my heart skip a beat.

My father started Ueda Photography in Brazil more than 50 years ago. I grew up immersed in the world of photography as both my parents were professionals in the field. I remember bright lights, classy suits, winding the film of the Hasselblad, and my dad’s fun personality. My father would take me to parties, even at the age of five, and instruct me in lighting. He introduced me as “Uedinha” or “Little Ueda” to the party guests. Now I find myself in Madison, WI. I continue my father’s legend in a new land. I have kept his excellence and attention to you, the client, while going forward with my own artistic sense of photojournalism.

Sara was so wonderful to work with. My husband's and my wedding was at a private property where we had to organize most of the details and that definitely added a bit more stress. Sara only made managing those stressful details easier because she herself was so clear, flexible, and easy going to be around! Her pricing is so fair for the product you receive and she is more than willing to work around your vision.

Hi friends, I'm Makenna, and I’m a Wedding + Lifestyle Photographer based in Wisconsin! I am a midwest gal, born and raised, currently residing in Stoughton, WI. Most days you can find me snuggled up on the couch, re-watching episodes of the latest tv series out with my best friend and husband, Chris, and our dog, Sky. Other than photography, I’m most passionate about music, dance and the arts in general. I’m also interested in clean skin care and beauty, sustainable fashion, supporting small businesses, and meeting/getting to know new people! I would love to get to know you more as a couple, and to photograph your special day!

Awarded Best of Zola
I can't say enough good things about Makenna Smith Photography! There are so many things to love! We've worked with her three separate times and each time she absolutely exceeds our expectations! She is so incredibly talented. One of the times we worked with her was when she was just beginning her photography business and the finished product was absolutely stunning - we still get compliments today on our photos and I love to tell people that she was just getting started at the time. We love to brag about her! Her attention to detail and organizational skills during the planning process is so much appreciated. She helped answer all planning questions, assisted us with finding vendors and was so great at communicating with us and with our other vendors. Even though she had other clients, I always felt like the top priority. On the day of the wedding, Makenna is so helpful at keeping things going. She leads when she needs to but she's flexible and goes with the flow when things don't go as planned. She always makes it a priority to check in with the couple to see if they are having fun, doing okay, and enjoying the day. She's so selfless and does whatever it takes to make the day amazing for the couple. She goes above and beyond in everything she does - she is so much more than a photographer. Aside from being a great professional, Makenna is a wonderful person and her energy and heart shines through in everything she does. This is her passion. She loves capturing special moments and I'm so thankful she agreed to capture ours!

  • Serves Madison, WI

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

After being given a long list of wedding photographer vendors from our venue, Once Like A Spark really stood out to us not only because of their name but also because their portfolio of pictures was exactly the vibe we were looking for in our wedding photos. This company was extremely easy to work with and their communication was awesome! They have different team members designated for each stage of planning so you know you’re getting the attention you need during a stressful time. We used OLAS for our September 2023 wedding. We opted for a second photographer after originally booking only one and they made the addition seamless to our contract! You are able to choose your primary photographer and we chose Matt (a former Bruins photographer, which my husband loved :)) and he could not have been more professional and focused the day of the wedding! Our second photographer was wonderful too! Both were detail oriented and made us so excited to see the shots they got! We received our gallery 5 weeks after the wedding, which was earlier than we expected, and were totally blown away! Our photographers nailed it! We cannot recommend OLAS enough! 10 out of 10 experience!

Erica did an amazing job! We had an idea of what we both wanted for our photos and she took those broad ideas and location ideas and made it happen! Because of some weather concerns, she was able to be sure that the location we went to had a great second option if we needed it. Since we did engagement photos with her it made our wedding day seamless and fluid. The photos turned out a million times better then I could have ever imagined. She is a great person to work with and I will definitely be booking her for our future photo needs.

J. was fantastic. He was like a ghost in the crowd during the wedding and caught such amazing moments throughout the event. As the bride, there was so much going on and I didn't have to direct J. at all, he just flowed through the preparation, ceremony and party with ease and captured everything. He also had some fabulous ideas for posed pictures post ceremony. From the start I knew he would be great because he contacted me immediately after I sent a request to him and actually PICKED UP THE PHONE to speak in person. Crucial in my book! We were absolutely impressed with his professionalism and the pictures are beyond even "a thousand words". We couldn't be happier.

I've been passionate about documenting and creating since I was a little girl running wild in the suburbs of St. Paul. I would steal my parent's film camera and take dozens (okay maybe hundreds) of blurry photos of our dog. In high school, I spent babysitting money on a polaroid and then finally my beloved point and shoot, which was my favorite accessory for a night out! I was gifted my first DSLR in my early twenties, and that changed the way I looked at the role photography played in my life. What was always a beloved hobby became my passion, and I've never been happier.

Awarded Best of Zola
Bonne was our photographer for our wedding in April 2022, and we are SO HAPPY we found her. We considered photographers that had a second shooter, but honestly didn’t feel like we missed out at all as Bonnie did such a great job. Bonnie is so nice and has a way to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. We did an engagement shoot which was a great way to know Bonnie and get some beautiful pictures for our invitations. We lived out of state at the time and Bonnie was super flexible to accommodate our schedule when we were visiting and recommended a great location. On our wedding day, Bonnie was very professional and organized which kept us on schedule while also making sure we weren’t worried about timing or about missing out on photos. We really wanted to be at our cocktail hour and she made it happen! But what really stands out is Bonnie’s eye for picking out great locations and capturing photos in the moment. The portrait shots were well framed and the candid photos really captured the emotions of the day. We snuck away with Bonnie to take some golden hour photos and they turned out so well! Bonnie had scoped out locations around our venue the day before which allowed for us to quickly sneak away to an awesome local. She is so talented! We love our photos and would recommend her to anyone!

As a small boy, I would sit for hours watching my mother hand-color portraits for a local photographer, during the cold winter months, by a fire in our family room. From there I began taking my own pictures with my first box camera. Fast forward to a restless twenty-something working as a microbiologist, taking weddings and portraits on weekends. Eventually I graduated college with an M.A. in Photography and started out in Chicago, assisting numerous photographers, shooting everything from oranges to weddings. I have been fortunate to have worked all over the world. Photography is more than a job, it’s an avocation, a passion, it's what I do.

From the first time we met Thom, we knew he was the right fit for us and our wedding. He made planning for our wedding in the middle of a pandemic stress FREE! Thom is organized, creative, and makes photography fun. His experience in the industry is evident through not only his work, but the way he is able to command a room. Thom had one of his assistants live stream our wedding for our guests that could not travel during the pandemic, which I am so grateful for. Now we will be able to watch our wedding mass for years to come. Thom also captured many couples, family, and friends photos throughout the day. Our family and friends continue to rave about Thom's work and his wonderful personality. We cannot thank Thom enough for capturing memories that will last us a lifetime!

On the day of my wedding, she was there early, and even helped with getting my dress ready, and she helped calm my nerves by just sitting with me and listening to me vent lol. Her photos are amazing, but honestly the experience of working with her was one of the best I’ve ever experienced. I didn’t just gain a forever photographer, I gained a new friend!

If we work together, there is a high chance that will be my outfit color of choice.

Kelsey is wonderful, personable and truly a professional in her field. She was instantly able to put my family (a non-compliant husband, a hyperexcitable lab and a nervous nelly like myself), at ease, and capture some truly captivating photos. She’s energetic, engaging and just so much fun to work with. In 2020, she had shot our engagement photos and followed in 2021 with our wedding day. She even helped bustle my dress and for that alone, I will always share my gratitude! She most recently shot our updated family photos with a mini tree farm shoot, and we can’t wait to continue on with her in the future to capture more of our most special moments as a family. She has a magical way of finding the perfect angles, lighting and of course expressions. I would never hesitate to recommend her to anyone who is looking for a lively, light-hearted and true professional, customized, photography experience. Thank you for everything, Kelsey.

A creative soul, a love for romance, passionate to tell your love story. I am always seeking for true connection between humans, the genuine real type of connection. I believe, at the end of the day, these true moments, even the smallest ones, are what mean the most. Weddings are filled with these fleeting moments and the fact that I get to document them, stop time and hand them to you to be remembered forever means more than you may ever know. I can't wait for our paths to cross, to hear all about your ideas and plans for the day.

We LOVED our engagement photos but our wedding photos were/are something to obsess over. She captured the whole day really really well. If there was one thing that I would change I would just want more pics of the 2 of us laughing and having big genuine smiles. Sometimes getting your pictures taken can be a little awkward so anything to help with getting those big smiles on camera helps.

I want your photos to represent your effortless connection, the closeness with your person, and all the other things that make you guys YOU! I am inspired by your love and I want to capture YOUR raw and real story. I want to tell it through my photos. And the fact that no else has been in my shoes, I see the world through eyes that no one else has. That’s what makes me different. Also NO TRAVEL FEE anywhere in the states!!

We got married in June 2022, and even now looking at our photos and video has us in disbelief at how Ruzin beautifully captured our special day. It’s like we’re viewing someone else’s wedding, but it’s actually ours! Throughout wedding planning, she went above and beyond for us and we can’t truly express our gratitude.

Working with Leah was such a great experience! Planning a wedding can be stressful enough, but Leah made it so easy. I contacted her about photography, and she got back to me very quickly. She was very reasonably priced, and took the type of pictures that I wanted. On the day of, she was very professional and took all of the pictures that we wanted. We made a list of pictures that we wanted, and she made sure she got them. They took a ton of pictures during our reception, which is perfect. I also got my pictures back really fast, with printing rights. I would HIGHLY recommend Leah Flores Photography for any occasion.

Jessica was absolutely amazing and we are incredibly pleased with our decision to use her as our engagement and wedding photographer! She was a great communicator who went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding day went smoothly. Jessica being so organized and on top of things made our wedding experience much less stressful than it otherwise would have been. Neither my husband or I are super comfortable in front of a camera, but Jessica’s directions and attitude put us at ease and made for a very enjoyable experience. Our wedding day went just according to plan, and so so much of that credit goes to Jessica! Taking everything we had spoken about into consideration, she put a wedding day timeline together for us; that was a huge stress relief! Jessica was amazing leading up to the wedding and I couldn’t of been any more pleased. I had so much confidence in Jessica leading up to the wedding day, and she did not disappoint! She was organized, had a plan, and followed it just as we had discussed. When hiccups arose, she was a calming presence who quickly adapted and made the absolute best out of the situation. Now, on to the photos! Jessica is a remarkably talented photographer who captured our wedding day better than we could have imagined. The photos all turned out so good and she was able to capture so many moments that we, as the bride and groom, were not able to witness in the moment. Our couples portraits, wedding party photos, and family photos were stunning. We are also so incredibly grateful for Jessica taking the time to photograph our guests during the reception. She was able to capture every moment with such authenticity; we love to look back at the photos and relive the day. I would whole-heartedly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!!

I work to craft images about connection - photographs that have warmth & tell a story about the love you share as a couple or as a family. I believe your wedding photos should stand the test of time. You want to feel completely confident that your story is going to be captured in a way that is beautiful and true to who you are as a couple. Not only that but we should probably have some fun along the way! I feel so honored to play a small part in your best day ever. I am here to help you enjoy this season of your life and have you feel well taken care of from day one.

Awarded Best of Zola
I knew my husband and I needed to at least talk to Kate when I saw a post of hers on Instagram from our reception venue. And then I read the caption on the photo, which was all about the organic moments and crafting a story based on what the couple values and wants to include. My husband and I knew that the first half of our wedding day would be chaotic, spread out across multiple locations and fleeting. Not every photo on the "photo checklist" was possible for us -- and we were OKAY with that. Kate heard us and went along for the ride with us in more ways than one. When we were out of a vehicle the day before our engagement session, Kate offered as much availability as she could. During our ceremony and reception, she captured sweet, posed moments and ones I didn't think had been documented. Her photojournalistic style that enhances natural colors and avoids filters was exactly what we were looking for, and we got it. The only thing I wish I had asked more directly about was the amount of time "posed" family photos would take. We knew we wanted certain photos together AND to enjoy our cocktail hour, and I wish we had budgeted our time accordingly and been more vocal with Kate about it.

My husband & I got photos done by Charlee. She does such an amazing job making sure you look comfortable & natural in your photos rather than just posing for the camera which made our photos look so much nicer.

I was that kid enchanted by Disney Princess movies and the idea of "true love". My true love revealed itself through photography. At 8, I grabbed my dad's camera and was hooked, thrilled to show people my world. I started with zoo animals, friends, and siblings, eager to freeze moments in time. As I grew, I learned from local photographers and knew by 17 that photography was my calling. Since then, I’ve captured love in all its forms: couples, new parents, best friends, and the joy of seeing your favorite band live. The world is full of magical firsts, and I'm honored to capture these moments forever.

I resonate with intimate, honest weddings, ones that present as unique and authentic, ones with tradition but they threw that tradition out the door and made their day an authentic representation of their marriage. As an artist, I am able to document weddings while incorporating my own artistic visions and yours. I love natural light, nature, and intimate moments. It is important to me for you to trust me as photography is a collaboration.
