If you're looking for a company who truly listens to your needs and goes above and beyond, I highly recommend Big Sand Productions.

Jesse from A Personal Touch did our wedding and did a fantastic job. The whole process from booking…read moreto the event was seamless. The web portal that let us select songs and set other details for the night helped out significantly. The ability to outright ban "Y.M.C.A." and the "Chicken Dance" from the very beginning took a lot of weight off of our shoulders. Jesse just had a good feeling for the flow of the night and chose good music.

Lauren is not only a talented photographer, but skilled in working with kids and families. She kept…read moremy kids interested in her every move! Along with her ideas for location, arrangement and angles, she also followed my boys around and got many candid shots that we have used in our holiday cards and home decorating. Lauren is flexible in scheduling, locations, and suggestions for the shoot. I would highly recommend her!

I would not recommend Marmalade. We received a family session as a gift. Lauren was responsive to…read morecommunication and delivered our photographs in the time frame that she committed to (2 weeks). The session was scheduled for an hour, however it started raining on the day of our shoot, so it shortened to 50 minutes, with the last 10-15 minutes of pictures taken in the rain (aka unhappy toddler). Lauren did not offer to reschedule. When we approached her about the session running short, her solution was for us to purchase an additional mini session. In addition, despite claiming to specialize in family photography, we found Lauren to be somewhat inexperienced and not very engaging with children. In the past when we have worked with lifestyle photographers (N=3), we have received some direction: "Lean in a bit, hold your head closer, tickle your daughter." I am holding our daughter quite unnaturally in many of the portraits and Lauren did not provide any instruction or feedback for this. When she took a few isolated portraits of our 14 month old daughter, she really made no attempts to interact with her to get any smiles. In the end, it was most disappointing that we tried to resolve our concerns with Lauren and her response was, "the photos delivered were consistent with my brand of more naturally posed family portraits. I can offer you a mini session (20 minutes, 8 edited high-resolution digital images) for $175 to capture another family portrait." We will not be using her for any of our family photography needs in the future. Of note, she seems to have removed the "reviews" feature from her facebook page, which makes me question if we are not her only dissatisfied customer.

We hired them for our wedding and it is my biggest regret from my wedding day. I left without a…read moredecent up-close portrait of my husband and I from 10+ hours of coverage and hardly any, in general. I have more photos of my feet than photos of my husband and I alone, both looking at the camera. They had to photoshop a photo of my husband and I into existence and what I received was so bad, it was not print quality per an independent third party printer. ETA: other important / basic shots were missed including ones from the shot list, things like the back of the bride in her wedding dress, veil shots. When our photographer came, she did not seem happy to be there and it is shown in our photos. They also completely botched our first look - they had it in a place that was extremely public after I said I didn't want that and they were running behind. The photographer who was supposed to be capturing my husband's reaction (told me when to go) completely missed it. Thank God for my videographer because their screen captures were the only decent thing that I have from my wedding in terms of stills. I had a nightmare of an experience, including being delivered low quality, blurry, and out of focus photos that was not made right by the owners. In fact, I was treated so badly that another person who regularly hires professional photographers was shocked and horrified when she had tried to have a conversation with them on my behalf. The worst part is they tried to sell these photos taken from a million miles back and blurry, low quality, and washed out photos, and tried to tell me they were 'fine' and they were doing a new editing style... one that I was not informed of after signing my contract, but also that just wasn't true. Additionally, their contract states that they crop the photos for distractions. Mine were not despite pointing out many many many photos with this problem. There was no care as to the editing process. They were highly unprofessional and tried to ghost me for weeks rather than just addressing the issue. There were so many unreturned emails and questions unanswered. If they would've said, here's how we can make this right and we're sorry, it would've made a huge difference. My other vendors who viewed the product I was delivered said that this was subpar, unacceptable, and unusable. It was a nightmare working with them and they are highly unprofessional. As an aside, they don't retouch their photos without a fee, just color edit. There are better deals elsewhere where you will get actually retouched photos. This comment where they offer to help is totally disingenuous. I asked for help multiple times as it happened. I asked for help and I was ignored and in fact, treated terribly and was told that "I just didn't know what I was looking at and I must be overwhelmed" only to be told by the owner himself he never even looked at the photos. Yes 2 years later I'm upset, because they ruined a once in a lifetime event and this comment just reflects that to them it's been 2 years now, but the fact that it's your once in a lifetime event was of no consequence. Also the throes of wedding season was also dishonest... it was fall 2020.. everything was closed. there were no weddings. Avoid.

Our photos look absolutely beautiful but also tremendously genuine, a rare quality in wedding photography. Lidia and the Front Room Staff were also a pleasure to work with generally. They were impeccable when it came to ensuring everything was well-prepared for the wedding, they were extremely flexible when we had to continuously reschedule due to the pandemic, and they were all just generally pleasant in all our interactions. Lidia truly went above and beyond on our wedding day - she knows exactly how to keep everyone enjoying the day while managing to take the most exquisite photos. She's a rare talent, and we could not have been happier with our experience with her and Front Room.

From the very first meeting with Ben, we knew we were dealing with an experienced and professional group of talented individuals. Ben was attentive, flexible, provided input where needed, and overall delivered exactly what was promised, which was nothing short of perfection. As the event drew closer, we were able to have a conference call with Ben, as well as one of the DJ's that would be joining us for our wedding. They listened to our vision, respected our play/do not play list, and put all the details together to create a seamless evening that we didn't have to worry about for a second. During the event, John and Sophia coordinated sound and lighting for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception ( which were all separate locations within the venue) without flaw. They were extremely professional, but at the same time friendly enough that we looked at them as another pair of guests, not vendors, and we are so glad to have shared our wedding with them. Perhaps the best thing I can say to recommend Enclave to anyone wanting a perfect wedding in Wisconsin, is that for all that enclave did for us, they were still by far the cheapest quote we got for services in kind.... and worth every penny!!!

In just a few pictures I had brought in, she already knew exactly which flowers I wanted, if they were in season, and how to arrange them to my liking. I was able to change up what I wanted at any time, free of charge. To top the cake, her prices are the most affordable you will find anywhere! The day of my wedding, she arrived right on time as she said. The bouquets and boutonnieres were just absolutely perfect - exactly as I had envisioned they would look. The flowers lasted throughout the whole day, and due to my chosen flowers, they dried beautifully. You will not be disappointed having Faye cater to your floral needs, I can attest to that!

They can play anything. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
