Hello! I am a passionate photographer who is obsessed with finding and creating beautiful moments. My philosophy about photography for the last 18+ years is to make it simple, with gorgeous light and to trust the power of capturing the connection between individuals. When I'm not busy chasing moments with my camera, I'm doing crafts and going on outdoor adventures with my family!

Awarded Best of Zola
When picking a wedding photographer we received the advice of you get what you pay for. Nicole did such fantastic work and her pricing fit perfectly in our budget. Before your big day she sets up a meeting with you to talk about specific things that you want captured. For us it was a tree that had pictures of passed love ones, our hands and rings displayed, extra pictures on a staircase. She wrote all of these things down to make sure we got everything we wanted! On the day of, before she left she asked if there were any last minute pictures we wanted to make sure nothing was left out! The pictures all came out soooo beautiful and she made sure that everyone looked great in the pictures!! I do wish that our pictures came a little quicker, however since she is so great at what she does, she understandably has lots of clients to work on as well. We would pick her again and again!

Picture This Photography Studios

Appleton, WI
  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,695

When you hire Picture This to photograph your wedding we understand that while you love the look of our photos, the most important element to any of your wedding photos is you. Our number one goal is to provide you with stunning photographs that reflect your lives and your love. We also understand that you are inviting us to your celebration. With that in mind, we always provide friendly and fun service and we strive to make your time with us an enjoyable, and perhaps even exciting part of your wedding day, not a task you have to trudge through before you can go back to having fun.

Ryan and his team are incredible! They are professional, creative, prompt, helpful, courteous, talented and FUN!!! They captured our wedding so beautifully.... it has been over a year since that day and I am still obsessed with our wedding photos! One of our groomsmen was quite a handful and Alex still managed to wrangle him and the rest of the guys when they had been drinking (think herding cats...lol) for group photos and they turned out great while also capturing some of the one groomsmen's shenanigans for laughs to be had for years to come. The beach had a bunch of people sitting on it and Ryan posed our group to conceal all of the beachgoers! No editing needed! Ryan's night shot (gorgeous!!!) and some of our other favorites from the day still grace our living room wall in our home! Would hire this company again in an instant!!! The night shot won't load on this review page as it is apparently too many MB for this platform, but trust me when I say it is STUNNING.

Emily Kettner Photography

Appleton, WI
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,000

I love photographing real moments of people in love. With me, I work hard for you to feel comfortable to be yourselves, so that I can capture the most creative, endearing swoon-worthy moments. My style is a mix of candid and editorial, and while I'll make certain to grab those mandatories with fam, the majority of your photos will be captured "moments" — especially between the bridal couple. My editorial-style wedding photography and engagement photos will capture those moments, those details, those looks you gave one another, that you may forget about 20 or 50 years from now, but will be able smile upon when you look at your wedding photos.

Emily Kettner Photography was a joy to work with for our wedding photography. Emily was extremely prompt, clear, and kind in all of her communication leading up to the big day, which we really appreciated during the hectic wedding planning process. On the day-of, Emily helped ensure everything ran smoothly and kept things light and fun. She brought an incredibly professional yet creative eye to capturing all the special moments, and her organizational skills were evident. The quality of Emily's work is truly exceptional. A huge plus was receiving our gorgeous photos so quickly after the wedding! Overall, working with Emily was a wonderful experience start to finish, and we'd highly recommend her services to any couple looking for a talented, communicative photographer to help make their wedding day memories last a lifetime.

Love stories are my passion! I love everything about weddings from capturing your first look to the tender moments on the dance floor at the end of the night when its just you and your honey. At Sam Lauersdorf Photography we capture your day we professionalism, creativity, spunk and passion. I can't wait to meet you!

Sam was amazing to work with!!! She was super sweet and helpful through the whole process, starting with the first round of video calls! I felt like she was right fit for our wedding based off of her work and personality. She worked great with our photographer, Heather Collins! Collin & I loved that she was able to get our whole wedding dance on video!!! This moment was extremely special, as the song we danced to, was the exact same song, Keith Urban played for us at his concert in Milwaukee in June 2024! We loved being able to show people who couldn’t make it our wedding what we have been working so hard on. As well as being able to look back that dance! Another special thing that Sam did was the interviews! We loved that we got to pick some family friends. I talked to the couple I picked well after our wedding, they were so honored but surprised that they were asked to talk about us. We also had our grandmas say a few things. In addition, our grandmas were our flower girls, so this is something we are going to treasure for a long time. Sam was extremely patient with us, as after our ceremony, we went to the family cabin. Took some pictures with our dogs, and then read our semi private vows. It was so windy out while we worked on this, that we had to redo some pictures especially with the veil. We love that we were able to get Sam out to the cabin to have our vows recorded on the same doc, where Collin proposed to me. Overall, she was awesome to work with! And we got some bonus photos from her! (Which turned out amazing!) Everyone we showed the videos to, loved them just as much as we did! Only thing I wish I had was some video footage of our grand March of our wedding party.

John, the owner and lead videographer, understands the importance of preserving this important time in your life. He is very passionate about telling compelling stories through cinematic story telling.

We found Frassetto Films through an honest google search for "wedding videographer near Oshkosh". I only had one consult before meeting with John, and I knew from that first Zoom meeting he was the right man for our wedding. We had a very nontraditional and unconventional ceremony and reception. We wanted someone fun who would be able to keep up on all the nonsense and shenanigans that the day would bring. John did his best at capturing the sweet, sentimental moments all the way to the downright ridiculous moments. He was equally excited, especially when he found out our food was being provided by Pete's Garage in Oshkosh. I booked him pretty early in the wedding planning process, so it was quite the wait to see how day unfolded. Communication was great throughout the year and a half engagement. There were never any questions left unanswered. He worked great with our photographer and other vendors. He is also a firm believer in letting you enjoy the day; you almost forget he's there with a camera. There were never any uncomfortable moments. He shared a teaser video a few days after the wedding which left us wanting more, obviously! He even posted a tik tok snippet of our ceremony which all of our guests and officiant keep raving about and sharing! I cannot wait to see the final product!
