The best decision you could ever make!…read more Where do I start we met Caroline at a local wedding show called WedMke and chose to meet with her as her energy seemed to be everything we were looking for. She is extremely personable and took the time to get to know us where I would say we have grown into a friendship. After meeting with her we were sold as not only did her packages have the greatest value she was reassuring and excited to be able to capture our story through her lens. We did our engagement photo shoot and my wife and I were a little nervous but she walked us through poses and helped us capture the exact vibe we wanted and did I say she completely understood lighting with shooting people of color which was huge. She brought her brilliant Brazilian vibes to every shoot we had and helped to not only coordinate on day of wedding but to tame the crowds as we all know sometimes taking group photos can be a challenge. However she did that and so much more. She truly was the gift that kept adding as she even gathered up a special surprise for our wedding day making it even more special. She truly understands photography but you gain much more than just that with her. I think she easily has the best value in the city!

The minute I met Jen, I knew I wanted to work with her. She was on the upper end of my price point…read morefor photographers, but she is worth every penny. If there is one thing I appreciate in working with professionals, it's those that are detail oriented and prepared--Jen is both! I didn't have to worry one bit. Rain or shine, I knew my pictures were going to look amazing. It's not every day that you meet a photographer as prepared and professional enough to have galoshes and 10 black umbrellas in their car just in case of rain. She even brings her own lighting if need be. What I especially love is how organized she was about the wedding timeline. Snap snap snap, a few jokes to get great laughs and beautiful smiles, and then move on to the next set! There is no dilly-dally going on but it all felt very natural. She gets the shot and moves on to another beautiful pose. This made it especially wonderful for the family shots. We lined up, added and subtracted people--and snap snap snap--we were done! We were able to enjoy most of our cocktail hour and appetizers because of it! AMAZING. Okay, so lets talk about her personality. She is so cool! Easy going, makes you feel good behind the camera. You can tell that she enjoys everyone's unique personalities and she knows how to make that come out in her pictures. Jen even took extra pictures of us during our reception even though she wasn't being paid for that part of the wedding. She captured some great speech moments and tears. I am so grateful to have met such a cool artist--and advocate for people, creativity, uniqueness and just a good person! I would recommend her to anyone who wants to look and feel beautiful in their photos and not have to worry about a thing on their wedding day!

She was a joy all the way around, but also knew how to assert (our) needs during those fun moments of family-wrangling for portraits. UPDATE: Only in speaking to other recently-wed couples did we realize the truly exceptional level of service that we got from Jennifer: she had our proofs out to us in a matter of weeks (not months, like the experience of some of our friends), and we still could not be happier with all the memories she captured! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about our experience with Jennifer, but the opinion is simple: she was amazing, fun, professional and took GREAT photos!

Another year later we reached out to Dream Life for our Maternity photos and Nicole just took pictures of our newborn son a week ago.

Can't wait for her to take more photos of our son!

Amy's photos were beautiful from our Wedding Day and we could not be happier She sent them within 2 weeks and did an great job editing. I would recommend Amy to anyone! Thank you again :)

I can't say enough incredible things about Amy at Happy Gnome Photography. I've worked with her on…read morethree separate occasions. First, she shot our engagement photos. We wanted to do something a bit non-traditional. The whole idea started with wanting to include my Grandpa's 1932 Chevy... we knew it wouldn't make the trip out to our Boston wedding as I'd dreamed of as a little one, so instead it was the centerpiece of this shoot. Amy took this idea and ran with it... she provided balloons, brought great props, and even hooked us up with a really incredible mechanics shop for a backdrop. We had a blast, and the shoot turned out exactly how we'd hoped. I then went to Amy for a boudoir session. I told her I'd be in Milwaukee and was interested in a shoot, and within a few days she was setting up a whole shoot that would allow for a friend to do her own session, too. Amy made me feel incredibly comfortable through the entire session. She had great shot ideas and backdrops, and even brought a few accessories to share. My now-husband got his little black book as a morning-of wedding gift... he was blown away! Exactly what I was going for. :) I saved the best for last: our wedding. The incredible emotion that is felt on your wedding day is something you wish you could feel forever; the next best thing is having photos that perfectly capture the day. I still get compliments on how fantastic our photos turned out...of course, we send all the credit to Amy... we just showed up for the pics! Amy was patient, professional, and so easy to work with. She knows how to communicate with a bride on her day, and she will do everything she can to make sure you get what you want. Amy thinks of the little things, like reminding us not to wear socks to our boudoir sessions (weird indents on our skin) or discreetly reminding me that if I'm putting on a strapless dress in a few hours, I should take my bra off to avoid the same marks. What a smart lady! Aside from the actual photos Amy provides, she also does a really great job with customer service post-shoot. She'll often share a "sneak peek" right after a shoot to give you a sense of what to expect, and we always got our photos much faster than I've heard others do from their photographers. She's very clear about what she'll provide and how you can use/print your photos: so important in making sure she gets credit where it's due and you get the photos you want. The payment process is easy peasy. My husband and I moved back to Milwaukee a few months after our wedding, and we plan to use Amy for every photo-worthy event that will come up (newborns, back to school, mini-sessions, anniversary parties, etc etc etc). She's that great. Book her now!

Can't recommend Shannon Wucherer Photography enough for your photographer needs!…read more Shannon and Jen photographed our destination wedding in Mexico back in April 2016. Not only did they give us a great price, they paid amazing attention to detail leading up to the big day. They both spent a lot of time and back and forth with us to ensure we were on the same page as far as what type of pictures we wanted, with who, how many, etc. These ladies are very friendly and easy to work with, and have since become personal friends. On the big day, and days leading up to it, they were above and beyond in making sure we were comfortable and getting the coverage we needed. Communication was a bit tough in Mexico seeing as our phones did not work, but they were readily available and willing to cooperate and get things done. On the day itself, they were professional, efficient, and did whatever it took to get "the shot", including Shannon practically laying in the water to get a beautiful angle of my wife and I standing on a beach cliff. She got nailed by a wave, but still got the shot, and did not care one bit! The most important part, of course, is the actual photographs, and they were AMAZING! Don't have a single complaint in the quality, the professionalism, and getting exactly what we wanted. The post-wedding transaction to get the photos was easy and straightforward, with Shannon supplying a nice wooden box with a thumb drive, and all of the photos readily available on her website. She even edited a bunch of pictures for us upon request, to get things like rogue jet-skis out of the background of a few pictures. I will end this as I began it. Use Shannon Wucherer Photography for your photographer needs! You will not regret it, and be very glad for the everlasting memories. We will be using them for any other needs in this department in the future.

My headshots - one conventional and one 'dynamic' (to fit the mood of my freelance videography business) - showed the range that Stacy has as a headshot photographer and were exactly what I needed to promote my 'personal brand'. Beforehand, Stacy sat down with me to discuss what I wanted to convey in my photographs and also helped me choose the right outfit to match the vision we had of my headshots. She kept the whole experience calm & fun, and I couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out. I highly recommend Stacy for anyone looking to have a high quality headshot done. On a side note, Stacy is also a great networker and a wealth of knowledge on small business planning and marketing. I learned a lot just chatting with her in between photos.
