Hello! My name is Brook! I am the owner and lead photographer of Forever Frozen Photography. Thank you for checking out my page! Let's jump right in! I have an amazing 4 year old son and my husband and I are newly married as of November 2022! I've been a professional photographer for about 8 years now enjoying every minute of it! My true passion when getting behind the lens is wedding photography. I pride myself in noticing the little details of special moments that happen during your wedding day, things that in maybe 30 years from now you may not remember of the day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Brook at Forever Frozen Photography was absolutely amazing. We really wanted to make sure our day was captured to the fullest, and Forever Frozen Photography worked hard to ensure they didn't miss a single moment. From our engagement photos to the big day, Brook's keen eye ensured every special moment was beautifully documented. As two of the most awkward people in front of a camera, Brook made us feel relaxed and natural, allowing us to truly focus on our wedding day rather than worrying about the photography. We are thrilled with the results and are so grateful to Forever Frozen Photography for their incredible service.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
WE LOVE GRANT. I can’t say it enough. I’ve been antsy for more of my friends and family to get engaged just so I can recommend Grant be their wedding photographer. We started with an engagement session with Grant, which felt just like a hang out (and that is EXACTLY what we wanted). We were dreading the engagement session, since this was our first time getting professional pictures taken, and we normally feel very awkward in front of a camera. Grant made it so easy and comfortable by playing music, joking around, asking questions, and prompting us to do certain things, so we never felt lost or posed. It also helped that Grant is hilarious- we were never told to “turn and face each other and pretend to laugh,” since we were basically naturally laughing the whole time already. For our wedding day, we hired Grant to shoot only with film, and boy did he deliver. There’s a sense of rawness and nostalgia to his film pictures, making them absolutely timeless. Each time I look through our gallery, I discover and love something new about each picture. He captured moments I didn’t even know that I wanted, but are now my favorite shots from that day. The day of your wedding, there are so many things going through your mind, so many questions being asked of you, and so many things you end up forgetting. Grant’s playful, yet confident energy constantly put me at ease. He knew when a joke was needed, when hair needed fixing, how to steam dresses (yes, he actually did that), how to deal with children, where to go and what to do at any moment, and when we just needed a break. To top it all off, Grant surprised me and my husband at the end of the night with a whole set of Polaroids he took of every big moment throughout the whole day (so thoughtful and special!!). I now have them all in a frame, illustrating our wedding so perfectly. It is VERY clear Grant is in this business because he loves it and is passionate about what he does. I was never hesitant to tell him my [particular/annoying] requests or opinions, because he was always open to hearing them and excited to take on a new challenge. I honestly wish I could just take Grant and his camera with me everywhere I go to capture all the big moments in my life. I will cherish our pictures forever, as well as our new friendship with him!

Most days you can find me hanging out with my best friend and husband, Chris, our daughter Scottie, and our dog, Sky.

I would love to get to know you more as a couple, and to photograph your wedding day!

Makenna was super great to work with and I really hope to work with her again in the future. She was really respectful of my space when I was aiming to get certain video shots, but was also communicative anywhere on site with not only us videographers, but also with her couples. She even captured a few photos of us in action for us to use on our website, which was so considerate! Again, I really enjoyed working with Makenna and hope to again soon. She is excellent!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
The photography for our wedding day was one of the most important parts of our wedding day and we are so happy Caitlin was our photographer! We had to cancel our original wedding due to covid, and since our families live far away, we ended up having a ceremony with just me and my husband, and our two witnesses (a friend and my mother in law). It was so important to us to have photos to capture the day so we could share with our families and friends who could not be there. They all absolutely loved them- she captured the beauty and detail of even our small simple ceremony. Leading up to the day, Caitlin was responsive, kind, and professional. She made sure to check in and ask us what was important for her to capture on the day of and double checked logistics for the day. On our wedding day she did such a good job! She is down to earth and comfortable- it makes a difference when you feel at ease! She helped us figure out how to pose and got some really nice photos, and she also took some candid shots which are some of our favorites! the photos came our beautiful. When we were looking for photographers, I was drawn to Caitlin's work- she uses light in such a beautiful way. We were not disappointed with our photos! We highly recommend cjefko photography!!

Erika Diaz Photography

  • Serves Columbus, WI

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.

As a wedding vendor, I've had the pleasure of working with Erika many times on creative projects and wedding days and have never had anything but the kindest words for my time with her! She's attentive and warm with every person she meets. She captures intimate moments others miss and allows freedom in the day for authentic memories to happen naturally. You'll feel fully supported leading up to the day with check-ins, timeline creation and easing nerves to make the day run smoothly. Highly recommended to all my couples!

Hi, I'm Jenna - I'm a Madison wedding photographer capturing candid, intentional and artistic images on digital and film for celebrations in Wisconsin. When I'm not photographing weddings, I enjoy hot yoga, paddleboarding, eating pasta and hanging out with my dog at the park.

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

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.
