In 1997 I started shooting weddings as an assistant while in college for photojournalism. I will honestly admit I never wanted to shoot...ddings and stopped assisting in 2001. In 2004, I and three of my friends each got married. After going through the experience as a groom and shooting my friends weddings, I started looking at the wedding process differently. With a new appreciation for the joy that goes into those special days I started saying yes when people asked me to shoot their weddings, instead of passing their names along to other wedding photographers I knew & trusted.
My photographic background started early, but blossomed in high school where I shot for the school paper & yearbook. Psychology was actually my original major before rediscovering photography. After changing majors & colleges I graduated with a degree in photojournalism from Columbia College. Currently I am still a working photojournalist & commercial photographer, outside of shooting weddings. On average I shoot no more than 20 weddings a year to leave room for other clients. Most couples I work with tend to be easy going, as I am, and have ideas that differ from the norm.Read More

Kimberley's love for photography started in high school when she was one of those geeks on the yearbook staff who always had a camera... hand. Her career in photography started after the birth of her first son in 1993. Shooting rolls and rolls of film of obviously the worlds most miraculous baby led her to a friendship with a photo lab manager where she was hired. She learned darkroom techniques and the technical aspect of photo printing. The lab also had a small portrait studio that employed a photographer and one day the photographer did not show up, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Portrait photography offered Kimberley the chance to hone her skills with clients and the technical side of photography and it also helped put her through the photo program at the Milwaukee Area Technical College. But when she found wedding photography, her true love was found. Eschewing the faked posed moments, she instead found herself gravitating to the true moments and one day found this kind of photography had a name: Wedding Photojournalism. Photographing between 25-30 weddings per year keeps her sane and allows her to give her clients top notch service. Kimberley lives in Milwaukee with her two sons, two dogs and two cats. When she is not chasing the big white dress, she loves to travel wildly and with abandon.Read More

I am just one of the lucky few who picked up a camera and never put it down.I graduated with a BA in photography from Brooks Institute... Photography in Santa Barbara, CA. I worked in California for a while retouching images and then high tailed my way back east to do my own thing. On a typical day you'll find me either shackled to my computer by a very short chain or actually exploring the outside world. I enjoy doing all parts of the photo process, from the shooting to the editing to retouching and album design. I have a photojournalistic style most of the time but still like playing with portraiture to get a fun image.

Matthew Whitlock went to Coe College in Cedar Rapids, IA right out of high school to study theater - focusing on technical design and...ghting design.
