A Farewell to Wedding Photography…
After 15 seasons and over 350 weddings the time has come to take a step back from this work in 2022. If the pandemic taught me anything it’s that it is time to capture memories with my own family in ways that are simply not possible when every weekend and summer are booked out for years at a time. I am grateful to all of my wedding clients that have trusted me with their special days, welcomed me warmly into their celebrations, and shared their families and loved ones with me. This work has lead me to meet some of the best people and be a part of truly magical experiences.
If you’re on this page it likely means that you’re on the search for a photographer, and although I cannot be there for you I would still like to help. Through the years I have had the incredible privilege of working with some truly outstanding wedding photographers. I recommend these folks with the highest regard as professionals, artists, and lgbtq+ friendly/affirming allies.
Best wishes & happy planning!

Top Madison WI Wedding Photographers I Love
Althea Dotzour
Althea is my long-time wedding partner, she and I have worked together for 10 years photographing every kind of wedding you can imagine. She’s my right hand lady and an incredibly intuitive photographer. Her captures of candid moments routinely blow me away and her presence on a wedding day is calming and cheerful. Althea’s appreciation for color and beautiful moments has heavily influenced my work and I often find myself thinking, WWAD? What would Althea do?

Ilana Bar-Av
Ilana is a spectacularly talented photographer who captures beautiful raw moments with masterful skill. Her understanding of technical details mixed with her unique perspective results in documentary style images that are truly works of art. She’s also a super cool person with good vibes. Ilana regularly ranks among the top photographers on Madison Magazine’s “Best of” annual list.

Melanie Jones
Melanie is an authentic wedding photographer who’s talent shines brightest with her coverage of non-traditional weddings. Think quirky, off-beat, alternative wedding vibes. Her style is earthy and genuine. Melanie’s work with the LGBTQ+ community in Madison particularly stands out with her frequent contributions to Our Lives Magazine.

Michelle Martin
Michelle Martin and I have incredibly similar styles, and we even have similar senses of humor and personalities. Michelle and I have worked together on many weddings and she has always inspired me and influenced my work for nearly a decade. Her lighting and posing in particular is top notch and her wedding portraits are absolutely gorgeous. It’s rare that I see one of Michelle’s images and don’t wish that I took it myself.
