About

SB Photography and Design is our wedding photography company based in Waukesha, Wisconsin.

✳ We asked ourselves: what is most important when choosing a wedding photographer? The answer came to us instantly: what your experience will be like the day of and the images that would be delivered following. Why are we the ONLY photographers to SHOW you, not just tell you, what your experience will be like with us and what ALL your images will look like? 🤷‍♀️

✳ We cannot say this enough, full weddings show you EVERYTHING you need to know and the crazy thing is, we seem to be the only one that shares these with you! Everyone else, they show you their top handful of images from each wedding, but what do the hundreds of other images look like that they don’t edit for hours? See more details on why it is crucial for you to see full weddings prior to booking in our other Facebook post.

✳ We give you typically 1000+ images, the average wedding photographer gives 400 (aka so many get lazy when preserving those most precious moments). Once you SEE our full weddings, you will know that your memories cannot be properly captured in such a tiny amount of images!

*We’ve said this before but it’s SO important to read in case you missed it - we keep seeing posts in Wisconsin Brides and other wedding forums about how much they loved their engagement images yet not their wedding day photos, shot by the same photographer. This is because in the beautiful light of golden hour, during an engagement session, even with a cellphone, you can take a good picture. So, often, couples are unknowingly trusting amateurs with the most important day of their lives. Keep in mind too, nearly everything you see on a photographers' site, is shot in beautiful light, that again, anyone can snap a decent photo in. So see full weddings, which are often photographed in much tougher lighting conditions that take a true professional to perfectly shoot, so you can know for certain who will cover your day flawlessly.

✳ We debated on a break during our slow season or spending hundreds of hours on a website to show our couples just how dedicated we are to helping ensure their day is flawless. We chose the site and get emails almost daily saying our website/we REPLACED the need for a wedding planner! 🤗

✳ We give you all images both online in full resolution (P.S. – before you share your private link with your guests, feel free to “hide” any images!) to download free without the logo and with a print release and also, a flash drive for you. We are the only ones we know of that don’t make your guests order through us!

✳ Our reviews will be the most heartfelt and real you’ll find! Did you know that 90% of wedding photographers REQUEST reviews? We do not so everything we get is because our couples want to gush about us which makes us smile from ear to ear. 🥰 As you can see, we truly have the best couples out there. 🤗

Our couples mean everything to us and we’ll do anything for them. We hope to be a part of your beautiful love story. 😊

Very Professional

Our photographers were wonderful for our small wedding. Even though it was raining and windy on our wedding day they worked around the weather to give us some amazing photos with the rain! They even brought clear umbrellas for us to use for some shots!

The Best There Is!

Truly the best photographers I could have dreamed of working with! They captured our dream day in photos and when I look through the album, I feel like I am reliving every moment. They were great to work with on everything from setting up the initial meeting, engagement photos and wedding day. Incredibly professional and the quality of the work they produce is exquisite! I am very type A and was worried about details being missed but they didn't miss a single one. Anytime my ring was crooked, or my necklace latch was showing they fixed it before I could even be concerned. If you are looking for a photographer, look no further they are worth every cent!

10.30.21 Wedding

I can’t express our pleased we are with our decision to have SB & Photography be apart of our special day. They captured memories that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. On the day of our wedding, they made me (and all of our guests) feel so at ease with their professionalism and kindness. They truly felt like family on the day of our wedding & we will be using them for all of our future photography needs. Thank you doesn't seem like enough for everything they have done for us, but THANK YOU!! SB Photography & Design are truly the best out there. Adam & Sheryl are extremely responsive to phone calls, emails, etc. with any questions you may have and are always SO kind with their responses. They truly do everything they can for their couples and we could not be more grateful! Thank you so much, SB Photography & Design for capturing the most important day of our life with the most stunning photos!!

Excellent Photos and Easy to Work With!

We hired SB Photo for our wedding and engagement pictures in July 2020 for our September 2021 wedding. Right from the start, Adam & the SB team were super responsive, even as they dealt with all of the COVID rescheduling, we always felt like we were a priority to them. They helped map out our wedding timeline and are a wealth of knowledge when it comes to wedding planning! Kara was our photographer and to say she is talented is an understatement - my husband hates taking photos and even he loved working with her and the photos came out better then we could have imagined! Everyone was complimenting them all night long and now we have incredible photos to remember our special day by. Would work with them again in a heartbeat!

Amazing Wedding Photography Services

Josh and Sheryl were absolutely amazing. Brody and I could not have picked a better photography group. From the initial consultation to the week of meeting and day of events we could not ask for anything more. On our wedding day, Josh and Cheryl arrived promptly to our bridal and groom suites. From the start their attention to detail and flexibility with our crazy group was incredible. Despite our tardiness to start our photos and get to the venue Josh and Cheryl still managed to capture all the photos we wanted. Both Sheryl and Josh did an amazing job conducting our photos, helping pose us, and ensured we got candid shots. Without this direction we would have felt unstructured and lost. They captured the energy and emotion of our family, wedding party, and friends. By coming prepared with a list of requested photos both photographers made sure we got the family and friends shots we wanted after the ceremony and at the reception. We did a speed song which Sheryl suggested where we took a picture with each table during a song. Sheryl and Josh coordinated with our DJ on this and it was so fun and it was nice to get a photo with each guest! We chose to do our first dance outside on Veterans Terrace and they were able to accommodate this with amazing lighting during. The photographers stayed for some reception shots as well and it was so great to see photos from throughout the evening. Overall, our photos turned out amazing. The quality of photos and candid shots is truly incredible. Our wedding day was captured perfectly and we could not be more thankful for Josh and Sheryl. The SB Photography group was such a great fit for us and provided exceptional service, from communication to presentation we cannot thank them enough!! Brody and I would highly recommend their services for any event or wedding!

Sb Photography is the KEY to a perfect wedding day!

We had such an amazing experience with Sb Photography in August 2021 for our wedding! From engagement photos all the way through our wedding events, Sb Photography was so responsive and professional. They helped us along the way whenever we needed it. The week of our wedding, Adam informed us our second photographer would not be able to attend due to a family emergency. Adam came to shoot our wedding himself AND added on a third photographer for free to capture our day. My husband and I were so grateful we went with such a professional photography business as family emergencies can happen to anyone at anytime, but Sb Photography had a solution for us right away. Adam, Kirsten, and Kara were all SO wonderful on our wedding day. They made everyone feel comfortable, were efficient yet paid attention to detail, and most importantly - were so fun to work with and had great energy. They really were the backbone of our wedding day - Kirsten even had drinks ordered for us and ready to go once our ceremony ended :)

We need to give a special shout out to Kara: Kara shot our engagement photos in August 2020 and we fell in love with her energy and her photos right away! She then shot our wedding a year later and we couldn't have imagined our day without her! From helping with hair touch ups, feeding me snacks before the ceremony started, to capturing all our special moments so beautifully and creatively, she went above and beyond our expectations. She really pours her heart and soul into every photo shoot she does and was so present throughout our wedding day. She sent us some sneak peeks the day after our wedding which was so appreciated! She is so passionate about what she does and SO talented! You need Kara with you on your wedding day!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
