Grace Creatives

Wauwatosa, WI
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,000

At heart, I am an adventure enthusiast and lover of simplicity. Each moment in life's grand adventure should be acknowledged as something to be grateful for which is why I love documenting candid and classic moments.

If I had to give you a short review it would be "Hire Alison now!" Longer review, Alison captured our engagement in 2022 and our wedding in fall 2023 and we loved every second of our interactions with her. From the first zoom call to get to know each other to the engagement session, to running into her at a store randomly to our big day and everything in between. Alison truly captures some of the most beautiful photography i've ever seen and she makes you feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. She's a true hype woman keeping things light and playful and fun and you can trust that you will have absolute art once all is said and done. My Husband and truly struggled to pick our favorite photos from both our engagement session and our wedding which is the exact problem you hope to have! She keeps things fun with sweet little reminders along the wedding planning journey and even helps with timelines and fun details if you need it. Finally, she's just a warm and sweet person that we can't wait to hire again for future family photo sessions! You will not be disappointed in your choice with Grace Creatives!

Ashton Gonnering Photography 

5.0

Wauwatosa, WI
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000

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!

We could not have asked for a better DJ than Steven for our wedding! From the ceremony through cocktail hour and into the reception, he kept everything running so smoothly and brought the perfect energy to every part of the day. His input and suggestions helped the day flow seamlessly and created so many special moments we’ll never forget. Once the reception started, Steven kept the dance floor packed all night long (and even jumped in with some dance moves himself, which our guests absolutely loved)! We got so many compliments from friends and family about how fun, positive, and talented he was.

We just got married over a month ago and we can’t stop talking about how perfect of a day it was. All of that is thanks to Veronica and the help of Meg. We booked Veronica as our month of planner and she truly went above and beyond. She made her resources available to us immediately after booking her, which was still 1 year to go from our wedding date. We both felt so comfortable with her. We were never afraid to ask questions or bring up concerns. The month leading up to the wedding I truly was not stressed at all. Veronica was in contact with all of our vendors making sure every detail was perfect. She would join the vendor meetings and advocate for my husband and I to make sure we got what we wanted out of our big day. She was such a pleasure to work with! We can’t thank her enough. We feel like we gained a friend from this whole process. We can’t recommend her enough!! -The Bistas 06.15.24

I have a passion for organization, thoughtful planning, and meaningful details. I believe the most memorable weddings are created through connection, which is why I take the time to truly get to know my couples and their families. My goal is to create a seamless, stress-free wedding day that feels personal, intentional, and unforgettable—allowing you to be fully present and enjoy every moment.

Awarded Best of Zola
Look no further!!!!! I cannot express enough how grateful we are to have had Sara as our month-of coordinator. From the very beginning, she was a source of calmness in what could have been a very stressful time. Her organizational skills were top-notch, and I could always rely on her to stay on top of every detail. She was genuinely kind, approachable, and made the planning experience so fun. Each booked vendor that came from Sara's recommendation was 10/10. She knows the local wedding industry well, and she respects her clients' budgets without losing quality. Sara’s kindness and sense of humor was a breath of fresh air, and I truly looked forward to every conversation and meeting with her. She had a way of making even the most mundane tasks feel fun, and I will really miss laughing with her during the planning process. One of the stand-out things I appreciated most about Sara was how she always had my back. She made sure that our wedding day was exactly how my husband and I envisioned it, no outside opinions or pressures influencing our decisions or timeline. Sara was incredibly respectful and professional with all guests and vendors, yet she kept it real in a way that made me feel totally comfortable to share any worries or thoughts I needed to talk through at any time. She made herself available for communication whenever I needed it, and talking to her truly felt like talking to a close friend—I always felt heard, supported, and like she genuinely cared about making our vision come to life. I knew she would step in and defend our vision no matter what. On the day of the wedding, Sara was beyond prepared. She anticipated every need before I even thought of it, and it was clear that she was completely dedicated to making sure everything ran smoothly. I will always look back on the day with a laugh as I picture Sara saving my dress with her Tide-to-Go pen, among other last-minute necessities she had packed. Sara’s attention to detail was incredible. She went above and beyond by transporting decor to and from various locations and found ways to make everything more convenient for us, so we didn’t have to lift a finger or stress about anything. Everything stayed so organized. Thanks to Sara, we were able to enjoy every moment of our wedding day without a single worry. Any potential anxiety I had that month was immediately eased, because I knew Sara had it all under control. She took care of every possible roadblock with such grace and efficiency that I didn’t even know there was a potential issue unless she absolutely needed to inform me. She handled everything exactly how I would have wanted, without ever involving me unnecessarily. What I will always remember about Sara is not just her professionalism and reliability, but the kindness, humor, and calming presence she brought to everything she did. She is genuinely one of the nicest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. We are so grateful for her.

Adventurous couples are my jam - those that aren't afraid to jump in a lake fully clothed or hang out with alpacas in the freezing cold for their shoot. I live for shoots where we are all barefoot, hanging by the lake, enjoying the sunset while I capture the moments.

Hey, I’m Alex—founder of Redwood Weddings and your behind-the-scenes bestie for all things planning. I didn’t grow up dreaming about weddings, but I did grow up organizing, (lovingly) bossing people around, and making sure everyone was taken care of. Turns out, those were all the signs. What started as a summer job at a Napa winery turned into a full-heart business here in Wisconsin. Now, I lead a team of detail-loving, down-to-earth planners who are obsessed with creating weddings that feel like magic—not cookie-cutter, just wildly you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Alex for full service planning was the best decision we made when planning our wedding. We worked together for nearly two years and throughout that time, she was organized, detail-oriented, and helped us curate a rehearsal, welcome party, and wedding that our guests still rave about. She made us feel comfortable throwing around our crazy ideas from day one and helped us tailor them into a vision. On our wedding day, Alex made sure that we didn’t have to worry about a thing and truly made us feel like we were the guests of honor. It was amazing knowing we had someone we trusted 100% to advocate for us throughout the planning process & on our wedding day. Alex helped bring our vision to life even better than we could have imagined. We can confidently say that the weekend would not have been so perfect without her overseeing it all. She’s the best in the biz and we recommend her without question!

Prior to our wedding day, we were convinced our friends and families would be avoiding the dance floor, opting for card games or the bar but, to my utter shock, there wasn’t a single song we didn't have a group dancing the entire evening. Chris Troka listened to us, who we are as a couple, who our guests would be and absolutely nailed it. He played a wide variety of songs that had everyone from my younger brother to our grandparents entertained.

From your ceremony and reception to an engagement party or rehearsal dinner, let’s save you the stress & leave all the coordination to me!

Awarded Best of Zola
To say we were blown away by Unique by Monique Weddings is an understatement! If we could give her 100 stars we would!! From the very beginning, Monique went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine care for our vision truly made our wedding day the best day of our lives! Walking into the venue (The Gage) and seeing our vision come together was nothing short of magical. She coordinated and communicated with our dream team of vendors, set up signage and decor beautifully, and ensured that we could focus on getting ready and truly being present with our family and friends. Monique went above and beyond the week before our wedding as well. Nick was sick, and we had a lot of last-minute tasks left to complete. Monique picked up and folded all of our table and welcome signage, making sure everything was ready without even mentioning it! Her calm and organized approach made us feel completely at ease, even during the very few stressful moments. If anything little did go wrong that day, we were not aware of it; she handled everything flawlessly! Not only was she efficient and on top of every detail, but she also brought a warm, personal touch to the entire process. We were pretty nervous about the prospect of wedding planning, and Monique consistently assured us that we were on track or ahead of schedule, checking in with us several times before the wedding. Monique has an amazing ability to bring a calm, considerate, and uplifting presence wherever she is. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making our day special, and we felt that throughout the entire process. She was also fantastic at coordinating our large families for pictures after the ceremony, ensuring that we could all stay on track and enjoy some of our cocktail hour! Thanks to Monique, we were able to relax and fully enjoy every moment of our wedding day, knowing everything was in perfect hands.

Lindsay Stayton Photography LLC 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Wauwatosa, WI

Lindsay Stayton began her career in the photography industry in 2008. Her first gig was photographing The Worlds Largest Music Festival, Summerfest. In 2010, Lindsay was asked to photographed her first wedding after a couple stated "If you can photograph Flava Flave, then you can most definitely photograph our wedding!" 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
It’s honestly hard to capture in words just how incredible Lindsay is—not only as a photographer, but as a person. From the moment we first connected with her, it was clear she didn’t just see her role as “taking pictures.” She understood what our day was truly about: love, connection, and community. That perspective came through in every single interaction and every single image. When we were prioritizing our wedding budget, we knew photography would be at the very top. We decided to skip a videographer and planner and crossed our fingers that the photos would tell our story in the way we dreamed. Choosing Lindsay was without a doubt the best decision we could have made. Her talent, dedication, and passion shine through in a way that makes it clear she should never be considered “just another vendor.” She is a true artist, and worth every single penny. One of the biggest reasons we chose Lindsay was the diversity of couples she showcased in her portfolio. It meant so much to see ourselves reflected in her work, and it reassured us that she could capture the beauty, uniqueness, and authenticity of every couple’s love story. From start to finish, Lindsay gave us everything we could have asked for and then more. She guided us through engagement photos that were stunning and full of personality, and then on our wedding day, she showed up prepared, energized, and completely present. She not only took photos—she kept the day flowing. She helped us plan the timing of the schedule, moved groups seamlessly for portraits, and brought a sense of calm and confidence that allowed us to simply enjoy being in the moment. She even connected us with other vendors, showing how much she genuinely cares about her couples’ experiences beyond just the photos. And the photos themselves? Breathtaking. They are stunning, timeless, endearing, and true to the moment. She captured the big, emotional highlights of the day while also finding those in-between moments we didn’t even realize were happening—moments that make the memories so much richer. Our family and friends have been floored, with so many saying things like, “I never thought I could look that good in a picture” or “I can’t believe she managed to capture me actually smiling!” Lindsay has a gift for seeing people as they are and reflecting back their truest, most joyful selves. Looking through our gallery felt like reliving the day in the most beautiful way possible. These are the images we will share with family for years to come. Lindsay didn’t just document our wedding—she became part of the story, and the photos she gave us are part of our family history now. That’s why we know we’ll be returning to her for all of our future photography needs. She isn’t just a photographer; she’s a family historian, and we couldn’t be more grateful that she was the one to capture this chapter of our lives.

Hi! I'm Kayla - a traveling Milwaukee wedding photographer - and I'm going to make you cry. Wait, what? Don't worry, not in a bad way. Most of my couples say they cry when receiving their wedding photos from me for the first time. Five, ten, fifty years down the road when you open your wedding album, bet I'll get you again. You'll still be surrounded by your loved ones - remembering the happy tears and laughing until your belly hurts - just as you did on your wedding day.

Kayla exceeded every expectation, and I couldn’t recommend her enough. From the moment we started working together, I knew she understood the vibe and would be able to bring my vision to life. Starting with our engagement photos that were like something from a magazine, to capturing stunning candid moments that told the story of our wedding day perfectly. She went above and beyond, even to blow-dry my dress after we got caught in an unexpected downpour, making what could have been a stressful moment feel manageable and even fun. She read me so well throughout the day, knowing exactly when I needed a quiet moment to myself versus when I was ready for portraits. Her attention to detail, kindness, and genuine care made her an invaluable part of our celebration, and her work is something we’ll treasure forever. We hope to continue to work with Kayla to capture future milestones!

Aggie's Bakery & Cake Shop 

4.7

  • Cakes & desserts
  • Starts at $3 per serving
  • Serves Wauwatosa, WI

Aggie's Bakery and Cake Shop has been baking and creating masterpiece wedding cakes for over 40 years and we look forward to working with you! Our cakes are known for incredible texture and flavor and the delicious flavors are the result of a combination of baking mastery and passion that is simply unsurpassed. We use only the highest quality ingredients, recipes, and baking practices resulting in exceptionally delicious and moist cakes.

Aggie's Bakery & Cake Shop was a mixed leading up to our wedding day. The communication style from the owners was rude, rushed, and slow at times, which caused some minor hiccups that were partly my own fault for not reading everything carefully before confirming (wedding brain). However, the end result was absolutely worth it - the two beautiful 3-tiered cakes they created were simply gorgeous, decadent, and had everyone at our wedding raving about the incredible taste. Despite the less-than-ideal communication, Aggie's Bakery delivered on the quality and value of their work, creating cakes that were truly the highlight of our dessert table.

Hi, I'm Sam! I tell everyone I know that I have the best job in the world - I get to document life moments. I genuinely love being around people, building those connections and letting your images tell your story. Beyond weddings, I also offer family portraits, head shots, milestone sessions, boudoir, senior portraits and more. I love audiobooks, potatoes in all forms (including raw), playing games, peanut butter, ice cream, dogs, and truly just being around people. I love listening to others' stories. I love grandparents.

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. The final photos were absolutely stunning - I was SO excited to receive the sneak peeks! They helped with following the timeline and made sure to get all the shots the couple wanted. Working with Sam was great, and I highly recommend her to all my couples!

We cannot recommend Said highly enough! He is incredibly professional and responsive to all our questions. It was clear from the start that he knew exactly what he was doing. Said took the time to ask all the right questions to truly understand the specific vibe and music we wanted for our wedding. He managed guest requests well (we didn't want everything to be played, and he did a fantastic job filtering through them so we only heard the music we actually liked). On the day of, his setup was fast, the sound quality was excellent, and his lighting made the dance floor fun. Our biggest priority was keeping people on the dance floor, and Said delivered. The floor was packed from the first song until the very end of the night! We are still getting comments from friends about how much fun they had and how impressed they were that the dancing never stopped. If you want a DJ who is organized, a great communicator, and knows how to keep a party going, hire Said! Photo credit Sam @ ampersandphotography.com

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.

One Shot Scott Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day. From our initial consultation, Erin was quick to respond, thorough in her communication, and incredibly organized throughout the entire process. Their attention to detail and ability to pivot seamlessly when needed was invaluable - Erin truly served as our guiding light, ensuring the day ran smoothly and giving us moments to ourselves when we needed them most. The quality of their work was stunning, capturing the beauty and emotion of our special day in a way that felt so personalized and genuine. Erin is not only talented professional, but also a warm and personable individual who made us feel at ease every step of the way. We cannot recommend her highly enough!!

Getting married in WI while living and planning in CA could have been an interesting and difficult process but Amany made everything so easy from start to finish - organized, quick to respond & just the sweetest person to work with. She made the whole process totally stress-free. And Mary… I can’t say enough good things! She is SO talented and truly an artist. We first met on a virtual trial where I felt understood, comfortable and confident in the services to come. She nailed my vision perfectly — soft, glowy, and natural but still totally glam. My makeup lasted all day and night (highly recommend 10 hour day to switch things up from ceremony to reception) and I honestly felt like the most beautiful version of myself. My mom and friends all looked stunning too — everyone was obsessed! The day felt calm, fun, and full of good vibes thanks to Mary. This was not Mary's first rodeo and she was such a helpful joy to have around and someone I could trust throughout the entire day. I can't recommend Wide Eyed Bride more, absolute dream team and best decision I made for my wedding day!
