Photographer and wedding day wrangler.

Marie was an indispensable component of our wedding day and planning. As a vendor, she was responsive and punctual. As a photographer, she was creative and fun yet directive. As a day of coordinator, she kept worries at bay for us. As a person, she has become a welcome friend. Her photos of our engagement, wedding, and family will bring us joy forever. We look forward to using her for every life step. She really shined in shorting our fall Door County in which she captured breathtaking fall shots.

Wedding Coordination

Marie was absolutely amazing to work with!! We used her for wedding coordination/day of services and she went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly that day. She met with us multiple times to ease our minds and make sure we were on track, had some great vendor suggestions and ideas, was super accessible throughout, and most importantly was just kind, fun, and super easy to work with! The weekend of the wedding both her and her team did more than we could have asked for, and we can honestly say the day would not have run as smoothly without her. She truly went above and beyond, and thought of little things we never would have thought of. Everyone who interacted with her had so many compliments about her and her team. She even thought of activities to keep the young ones entertained! We only have great things to say about her. Thank you again for helping make all of our wedding visions a reality!!

Please hire her!

I cannot say enough great things about our wedding photographer, Marie. She helped me so much with my wedding timeline, came up with photo ideas/poses on her own that were amazing, and was so much fun to work with. We used her for our engagement photos and everyone we showed complimented us on how great they turned out! I knew that we would be in great hands for our wedding photos, I cannot wait to see them!

Highly Recommended!!

Marie is amazing!! She did a wonderful job on our engagement/family session. She was able to get my now stepson, who doesn't like his picture being taken, to have a genuine smile and laughing the whole time!!! She made a great connection right away with him and the girls and they could not stop laughing. Our wedding pictures are gorgeous also!!! She does a great job at using the lighting in the room and natural lighting to get the best shots. We will have her photograph our reception this Spring because we love her so much and the kids did too!! That was a big point for us, the kids asked us, "When is she taking our pictures again?!" I highly recommend Marie at Wild Elegance at anytime to anyone and everyone!!

Truly amazing time

We had hired Marie for our small wedding. She worked with us on everything. She is experienced and knows the area well. I broke my ankle a few months before the wedding and was afraid to walk on uneven ground. She knew the best spots that would keep me safe and adjusted accordingly. Her compassion was worth every cent. She is just an amazing person and you will want to be her friend for years after. My pictures were really great. I’m so happy she came recommended. You will love her

She was amazing!

I would highly recommend Marie! We met her at the wedding show in 2017 and instantly knew that we wanted her to be our photographer for our winter wedding! She’s amazing to work with, very knowledgeable, her work is stunning and most importantly we felt comfortable working with her. In my opinion, your photographer, is your most important decision. We are beyond happy with our decision! We received a sneak peak and I’m in LOVE with them, we can’t wait to see the remaining album! Don’t pass her up, you’ll want her taking your engagement and wedding pictures!!!!

Engagement/ Wedding Photography

Marie was incredible. Not only did she capture beautiful pictures and memories that we will treasure forever, but she was calm, professional, and offered so much advice, wisdom, and help! She made what could have been a stressful time before the wedding carefree and fun. 100% recommend for incredible service, and a real, down to earth, caring person!

Fun amd comfortable

Tyler has been a great contact for establishing my oct 2019 wedding! He met late one evening to go over my 100 questions I had. He was fun, comfortable, yet professional. I'm looking forward to my day even more now that I know I have the reception spot of my dreams.

Marie was incredible from the very first meeting to the BIG DAY! She stayed in contact with me throughout the entire process, did beautiful engagement pictures as part of our package and basically ran the show for me on the day of. She coordinated people, timelines, made sure I had whatever I needed and got the most incredible wedding shots I've ever seen. Do not hesitate if you are thinking of hiring her!
