ONE OF THE MOST FUN MADISON WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS

Weddings are fun. Ho-lee shit are they fun, but let’s be honest, they would be NOTHING without the people. Sure, it’s great to get the right venue, tablecloths, and food, but at the end of the day, your wedding isn’t about that. Your wedding is about you. Your partner. Your families. Your friends. The little kids that act like drunk adults. As a Madison documentary photographer, I get to focus on what matters.

The reason I love photography as much as I do is because of the people I get to work with. I’m fascinated by the connections you share and the web of love that surrounds you.

Yes, you’ll get a lot of pretty images from your wedding day, but I’ll also give you photographs that that tug at your mother f%#king heart strings years from now 🙂

I document your story by focusing on authentic moments. I’m curious about you, your humor, your love, your connection with each other and the people who mean the world to you. I aim to create images that are genuinely full of joy, love, and the beauty of an instant.

“When you posted the picture of my dad on Instagram, my brothers decided you have a special skill for finding them in an emotional state. In a recent text chain, my brother said he was tearing up about something, and another replied, ‘Quick, where is ilana to capture this!?” I replied ‘Check under the table. She’s often crawling under tables!’ ” -Toria

Having you as our photographer was unbelievable. From your first email suggesting we meet at State Line to that meeting when we talked more about people and family and llamas than specific wedding details, we knew we were super lucky to have the love in our lives captured from your perspective. You’re amazingly talented!
