I’m Jill — a Wisconsin wedding photographer with over 13 years of experience and a serious love for honest, emotional moments. I’m drawn to real connection, great light, and the kind of photos that feel alive, not overly posed or polished.

Jill is absolutely amazing - would recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer! She is extremely responsive leading up to the event. We were able to have several video chats prior to our wedding with Jill, which took lots of stress out of the planning process. Her photos are clean, crisp, and truly captured every special moment of our wedding. Look no further for your wedding photographer- Jill is your girl!

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!

Her communication style was organized, thoughtful, and attentive - she took detailed notes during our consultations and always followed up promptly. Most importantly, the quality of Shawna's work is fantastic, especially considering her very reasonable rates. She has a true talent for capturing emotional moments and telling the story of the day. On the wedding day itself, Shawna brought a sense of calm and kept everything running smoothly while also fading into the background.

Grand Rapids Michigan photographer/ videographer here! I started back in high school at 16 and grew from there. With a little over 6 years of experience in the industry, I really care about getting good quality photos and videos to you within a reasonable budget! I know that getting pictures done can be expensive and we are here to provide you with excellent service and amazing photos on a budget!

Nissa J Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. From the beginning, their communication style was thorough, detailed, and empathetic - they truly took the time to understand our unique wedding concept and vision. The quality of their work is simply outstanding, with an artistic and professional approach that captured all the candid, special moments of our engagement shoot in a timely and responsive manner. Nissa and her husband have gone above and beyond to ensure our vision is met, even acting as a supportive bridesmaid-like figure throughout the process. We couldn't feel more at peace knowing our wedding is in their capable hands, and we are thrilled to have them capture our wedding. She traveled wherever we needed her to for these shots, and she even helped capture some other special moments during our shoot. We had lost our dog last Christmas and ended up rescuing his brother. She not only got us a beautiful family portrait together, and some collegiate graduation photos, but worked with me and my budget to include video after discussing our needs post-loss. Nissa J Photography is truly a cut above the rest. She treats you like so much more than just a paycheck, but like your bestie who wants nothing more than to be a part of your special moments and help you have the most beautiful keepsakes of them. I love my man, but she’s the best choice outside of him that I’ve made for this wedding!
