About

Your wedding day is supposed to be fun and exciting. I want to be there to capture all the action. From you walking down the asile to your spouse, to the kids dancing on the dance floor. And even grandma being cranky or cracking a joke. Photography is about making real life memories still for just a second, so you can look back and cry when you were crying, laugh at the mishaps or funny speeches, and relive every second of your day.

Throughout your wedding planing process, I want to get to know you, laugh with you and capture those unseen moments.

I provide direction where needed, but ultimately, let you be you.

If I had to use three words to describe my photography style, it would be fun, exciting, and documentary. Ultimately, I play off your style and personalities. You do you, and I'll be there!

A bit more about me:

My first wedding was in 2010, since then, my work has taken me all over the world. From Jamaica, Washington State, upstate New York, Chicago, Portland, and Scotland!

After moving back to Milwaukee in 2014, I quickly found my niche planning weddings at Anodyne Coffee Roasting Company while still photographing weddings on the side. Exhausting right?

I finally went full time photograhy in 2018, I have a distinct and unique style which captures real human emotion and candid moments. I was a finalist for The Shepard Express Best of Milwaukee 2019 Wedding Photographer.

Absolutely Recommend!!!

Absolutely recommend!!!! Lindsay was so wonderful to work with. She not only did a PHENOMENAL job with the photos but she is warm, easy going, and energetic. She worked with us to get the exact type of photos we were looking for, everyone at our wedding thought she was awesome, and she directed everyone for photos with a fun but efficient approach.
The way she made our 1 year old nephew laugh for family photos is something we will never forget! She also made anyone who was not feeling photogenic feel comfortable.

We absolutely loved working with her and could not say enough good things. Lindsay is a MUST for anyone looking for a great wedding photographer.

She is EXACTLY the person you need for your special day

Lindsay is exactly what we were looking for when selecting a photographer to capture our special day. My husband and I did not want a traditional wedding. We are quirky in nature and do not like staged photography...or photography of ourselves. You can only imagine the tall order we had for Lindsay....but she completely understood us. We felt at home with her during the planning stages and on the day of the wedding. She captured the BEST candid shots of us..in our true state...and we loved it. We loved every minute of it. She also kept our bridal party and demanding family guests inline....which is a battle all on its own! 100/10 WOULD ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND HER!!

An Excellent all around experience with a perfect end result!

Lindsay was our photographer for our recent wedding and she was a delight to work with throughout the process! Not only was she fun to get to know but she helped us think through all aspects of the day and to stay on track. From the beginning of the planning process, she was focused on getting to know us and what we wanted out of our photos. Even though we aren't used to being photographed, she put us at ease and made the whole process fun! Her photos were excellent! She captured candid moments, romantic moments, and everything in between! You are in good hands with Lindsay and can be confident that in the end, you will end up with some absolutely gorgeous photos!

Wedding Photography

I worked with Lindsay on my wedding day, and I couldn't have asked for a better photographer. I found her after doing some research online for photographers in the area, and my partner and I were particularly drawn to her statements about capturing the candid and authentic moments of the day. Our wedding was small -- we held it at home with less than 30 people. While I was initially concerned that the cost of hiring her for the day would be too expensive, Lindsay provided options and worked within our budget. True to her words, she was extremely helpful in capturing the moments of the day. She provided fantastic advice leading up to the wedding and was able to coordinate photos that were both comfortable and natural. It resulted in incredible photos that we will be looking at for years to come. Without question, we plan to hire her again for other life events!

Linsday is perfect!

Lindsay was a dream to work with. From the moment we met her, she was interested in getting to know my fiancé and I to cater to our wants and hopes for our wedding day. From running around to local businesses in Milwaukee for engagement photos, to discussing different family dynamics, Lindsay was there to assure me that she would be in my corner on the wedding day. She was quick to figure out what worked (and what didn't) with various family members, all while focusing in on as a couple to make sure we were happy with everything that happened. I cannot recommend Lindsay enough for your wedding day! She has great photos, and a great personality!

An incredible photographer!!

I cannot say enough great things about Lindsay and her work. She captured our wedding perfectly and made the day less stressful with her fun and bubbly personality. She was very organized and kept the day flowing while making sure to capture all of our special moments we wanted. I’m so excited to work with her again for my sisters wedding this June!!

Worth every cent!

She shoot a nurses week photo shoot that I was a part of. When I tell you I have NEVER felt so comfortable in front of a camera, I am not lying! I knew we had to have her for our photographer (and this was well before we even got engaged). She is just the right mix of fun/ bubbly and commanding/ organized/ professional. She meets with every client before any contract is signed/ discussed to make sure that the personalities and visions are a good match. Our engagement shoot was incredible and so fun! The wedding photos are even more incredible (if that’s even possible). She hired the perfect second shooter for our day, and together they captured every shot we could have wanted, and more! Seriously, you’d be across the room having a touching moment with someone and suddenly Lindsay is there already snapping photos. I cannot say enough great things about Lindsay. And I don’t want to spoil anything, but she added a nice little gift when she presented us with the final images. INVEST IN A GOOD PHOTOGRAPHER LIKE LINDSAY!!!

Picture perfect!

PICTURE PERFECT!

Picture Perfect? That's Lindsay Stayton Photography. That's all there is to it.

We used Lindsay for our 50th wedding anniversary pictures and were so delighted we wanted to use her for our family gathering—nine people ranging from six to 76. With so many people and varying ages I imagine it is hard to make everyone look good. But Lindsay is amazing! She has a way of making everyone feel natural and relaxed, and it shows in the photos. Our family pictures are "perfect"! Not one complaint, and Lindsay got our vote of 5 out of 5 stars. I am so glad we chose her and wish I could convince everyone that she is the best.

Not only is she good at "formal" pictures, but she is also great at casual and candid shots as well. She is so popular as a wedding photographer she travels internationally. In fact, she had returned from Germany the night before our pictures, when she was still on "German time".

Lindsay is a jewel, and a dream to work with.

If you want picture perfect, you want Lindsay Stayton Photography. Period!
