Kelly Sent on 08/06/2025She 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!! -

The outcomes were outstanding; our wedding photographs were exemplary. We recommend their services. -

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!

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!! -

Sarah Sent on 06/15/2024Worth 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!!! -

Laura Sent on 04/28/2023Great experience working with Lindsay!
Lindsay was our wedding photographer and she was delightful to work with. She has an energy and passion for photography and working with individuals to help support their vision/what is important to them - which is what she did for us.
I feel like I have a giant smile in many of our photos because she helped keep us laughing and having fun with each other as we did photos together. She had a number of resources for wedding timeline examples which was helpful. She also met up with us to show us spots around our venue she had already scouted out that we could possibly use for day of photos to see what we all liked and wanted to use day of so she definitely goes the extra mile.
She was responsive in her communication and was happy to talk through different ideas and help us come up with a timeline based on what kinds of photos we all wanted to do. We told her we wanted photos with each table and she sent us a video of people doing the mission impossible theme music to try and get to every table during the song, and my husband was immediately like yes we need to do this! Lindsay gave us the idea and made it possible by counting off and keeping us moving from table to table and our guests loved participating in it :)
It was also great that she selected a handful of sneak peek photos that we got in the week after the wedding to be able to have a few to look and enjoy which was great. We really enjoyed our time working with Lindsay and hope you will also! :) -

Lindsay is the most incredible photographer (and human)! She took GORGEOUS photos for our wedding, as well as our engagement, and we can’t wait to work with her again for all of the important moments in our lives. She is personable, organized, has great energy, and feels like a long time friend even though we only met her last year! -

She’s amazing!!
Lindsay was everything we were looking for in a photographer. Candid moments, posed shots and the many opportunities to laugh during the photos made our day so much better. She helped with timelines and relieved a lot of our stress. You won’t regret using her and we plan on using her again in other big moments of our lives. -

Eliza Sent on 01/30/2023Stunning Photos, Easy to Work With
My husband and I were looking for a photographer who could capture the more candid and spontaneous moments of our wedding day, and someone who wouldn't just slap a filter on all of the images. It was also important to us that our photographer be comfortable with and accepting of all types since we had a very diverse wedding party and guest list. Lindsay delivered on all of those things and more. She met with us multiple times before the wedding to ensure that she really knew us and what we were looking for. Her experience in the industry meant that she was able to guide us through the timing of the day and give recommendations on how to make things flow more smoothly.
Lindsay is someone who is able to roll with the punches respond quickly to any changes that come up; something incredibly valuable on a day that can be chaotic. She also was so good at making everyone feel comfortable and open. She's fun, confident, direct, talented, and kind. A great combination to get excellent photos and to have everything done on time.
Not only was she great, and her images excellent, she gets her work done fast! She sent us a few images right after the wedding so we would have something to post on Instagram, and hand-delivered the rest of our pictures to us just one month after our wedding.
I can't recommend Lindsay enough. We look forward to hiring her again for future family pics. -

Dustin Sent on 11/04/2022Amazing photography
There is so much I can say about Lindsay. She’s a great person and a great professional. She knows the art of photography and made sure to capture every moment. She knew exactly what to do and caught the moment in every angle. As soon as the ceremony ended, my wife and I took off running in pure happiness and she was running right behind us to capture the moment. She was great throughout the whole night. I recommend her 100% -

Shaunee Sent on 10/25/2020Love at first sight!
When we first met Lindsay, we knew instantly she was the photographer for us. At our initial meeting, Lindsay made us feel comfortable and as if we were already friends. She was able to tell us the in's and out's of the wedding industry and answered questions that newly engaged couples had about the entire wedding process. She was straight up and honest with us about how she runs her business, which made it an easy decision to have her document our engagement and wedding year.
Throughout the past year, Lindsay checked in on us to answer questions, was responsive to all emails and phone calls immediately, and worked with our schedules for meetings and photos. She was flexible with changes and understanding of everything we were going through with the unknown of COVID as well.
Our wedding was scheduled for May 24, 2020, but with COVID, Lindsay worked with us to change our date, location, and time of our small family ceremony. She was willing to take my phone calls and calm my concerns about postponement and cancellation. Lindsay acted as a friend during this time and we worked together to create a plan.
I am so happy that her work, of our engagement photos and wedding ceremony photos, will be a part of our wedding story and I am looking forward to working with her in the future. She captured the big and the small moments that show throughout her portfolio. Overall, I would highly recommend Lindsay on all platforms as your wedding photographer, hands down. -

Katie Sent on 10/22/2020Lindsay was an instant hire!
Lindsay was the first vendor we came in contact with when we started to plan our wedding. When we met her, it wasn't even a question who we were going to have as our photographer because we were set on her. Her personality is upbeat and fun which is what initially attracted us to her, but it really came in handy on our wedding day. Our wedding day ended up being on the colder side which means that you get distracted by the cold. Lindsay would start throwing out jokes or give really animated direction to make sure the natural smiles and laughs were showing in the photos.
Lindsay was an automatic hire for us and we couldn't be more grateful for her. We actually planned our wedding date around Lindsay's availability. Her portfolio is filled with amazing photos that tell the story of who the couple really is. She has a niche for picking up her camera at any moment to capture the "small" moments that truly represent who the couple is. She also captures the moment of what is important to the couple. For example, I lost my dad 7 years ago and Lindsay made sure to capture the moment of me placing a flower on an empty chair during the ceremony and the moment I shared with my sister as we pulled his empty chair close and cried over his physical absence. Those moments will last a lifetime and we have the pictures to remember it by.
If you are a couple that likes to laugh and have a good time, Lindsay is the photographer for you. She's going to be there for you throughout the planning process and she's going to go above and beyond on the day of your wedding. She truly cares about her clients and it shows. I'm happy to say that we have become friends and I'm stoked to see all of our wedding photos. -

10/10 would recommend!
Lindsay shot our wedding on 8/1/2020, despite the few changes we made. First, our photos were done so much sooner than we expected! Second, they are AMAZING! Third, all our family and friends had nothing but wonderful things to say about Lindsay on our wedding day and how well the photos turned out. We would HIGHLY recommend Lindsay for engagement, wedding, or family photos! -

Lindsay is the best!
Lindsay photographed our wedding this past October (2019) and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer! She made us laugh and calmed our nerves, but also kept everyone in line and things running smoothly. She was genuinely excited about the pictures as she was taking them, and did whatever she had to to get the perfect shot (like lay on the floor). It downpoured most of the day, which was a big bummer for me. Lindsay made the most of it though and not only took beautiful pictures indoors, but also quick grabbed us when she noticed it stopped raining during dinner so we could have some outdoor photos as well. All of our pictures turned out beautifully and we will cherish them and their memories for years to come!
Lindsay's excitement is contagious and her passion shows in everything that she does. Lindsay was everything we needed and more on our big day, and I'm not sure what we would have done without her! -

Tisha Sent on 02/08/2020We were so lucky to find her!
We couldn't have asked for a better wedding photographer for our big day! Lindsay also took our engagement photos, so we were used to working with her, which helped a lot. Lindsay is fun, creative, professional, outgoing, and talented. She has a great eye and came up with some awesome ideas, but she was also flexible and definitely listened to us and was super easy to work with. For me, being an introvert, this was perfect, as she always made me feel relaxed and at ease. We had a "first look" and she was perfect to work with, we didn't feel like we were being "photographed," we were totally in the moment and she just made everything so natural. Even before seeing the finished product (which was INCREDIBLE, we couldn't be happier with our photos), friends and family were asking us at the wedding, "Where did you find your photographer?" She was a hit for sure. And for an event like this, (which certainly doesn't happen every day :)) we were lucky to find someone so great to capture it. We highly recommend Lindsay and we promise you will be glad you hired her! -

AMAZING! Wonderful to work with!
Lindsay photographed our wedding in September of 2019 and she did an amazing job!! We had her come in early when we were getting ready for some quick shots and then we headed out to do some outdoor photos at various locations. It was very natural and she had great ideas for poses that weren’t “cheesy” or “overdone”. When we went back to do family photos she was awesome and getting everyone’s attention in a super welcoming and friendly Way (but got the job done instantly) and also was great with getting the kids to smile and pay attention. She was super creative with her shots when we walked into the room for dinner and everyone was clapping.
After it was all over she got the photos done pretty quickly and the online download was super easy. We loved reliving the day through her photos because she captured everything and every detail without going overboard. I think the photographs from the day are one of the most
important things because it’s one of the only items you’ll have after it’s all over and Lindsay was the perfect pick! A great mix of candid shots as well as posted ones. We’re so happy and would recommend her to anyone! -

Heather Sent on 02/03/2020Best photos and best personality
We can’t say enough good things about Lindsay. Not only is she a fantastic photographer, but she is funny, friendly, and easy to spend time with. She effortlessly got our dogs to look at the camera for wonderful engagement photos, and helped us through a rainy December wedding day with very few hours of natural light. By her suggestion, we took some of our photos in the Public Library downtown and they turned out beautifully. Lindsay drove us for the photos on our wedding day, meaning we could relax and breathe between shots. And did I mention the photos turned out beautifully? Seriously can’t say enough about how pleased we are to have found Lindsay, as we know we’ll have her take photos for us from here on. (Our friends and family loved her and her work as well!) -

Venessa Sent on 09/20/2019Engagement photos and courthouse wedding/reception
My husband and I hired Lindsay to do our engagement photos. She made us feel comfortable right away, (it can be weird having a stranger in your house taking pictures of you as soon as you meet). But all of the pictures turned out really good, it was hard to pick just one for our save the date. So we hired her to do our wedding too.
Lindsay has an energetic but still professional demeanor. She was able to keep everyone in order to get all of the combination of family pictures we wanted and keep things in our time frame. She played with lighting and shadows to do some fun silhouettes of us inside the Milwaukee courthouse that look like something you would see in a movie.
Lindsay leaves a lasting impression. Days after when talking about our wedding with family everyone kept on saying how they loved our photographer and how she was lots of fun. And when we got the photos again we loved all of them. We can't wait for our March reception and see what magic Lindsay can do again. -
