Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Where can I find a photographer for a short-notice, small Wisconsin wedding?
A: There are many WPJA photographers who are able to help you out at a moment's notice. We understand that sometimes love happens and there's simply no time to lose. We can ensure that you can get married as quickly as possible — and have incredible photographs to remember your Wisconsin wedding day by.
Q: How can couples find top-ranked Wisconsin wedding photographers?
A: The WPJA created the original wedding photographer ranking systems. Our innovative system is based on contest winning points, meaning that the Wisconsin photographers you see at the top of your search results page have recently won the most — and the most recent — contest awards. Our contests judge photographers based on their creativity, style, composure, and ability to capture the heart of any couple's story on their wedding day.
Q: How can couples find reviews of Wisconsin wedding photographers?
A: We call them Client Letters. At the WPJA, we decided more than 20 years ago to avoid incorporating those third-person testimonials and endorsements that are found all too often in advertisements. Instead, we elevated our listings with the use of Client Letters, which represent the actual words and feelings of the clients who booked those Wisconsin wedding photographers for their own wedding.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for getting the photos to me- I spent literally 6 hours on Saturday looking through them and set them up as my TV screensaver. The photos are so amazing- I have SOOO many favorites, it will be SO hard for me to pick which prints to order for my house! Also it was perfect timing with black friday and cyber monday! I'm going to order some gifts- magnets, prints, ornaments- so THANK YOU! I really can't thank you enough Taber. Everything was captured beautifully, all the friends and family love the pictures.
