Remember Your Special Day in a Picturesque Way!
Wedding Photography in Wisconsin for Couples Who Want the Real Moments
get to know me
Hey, I'm Emerie! Wedding photography is my passion.
A rooftop in Milwaukee. A quiet lake ceremony an hour from Madison. A barn in Waukesha County. Wedding photography in Wisconsin should look like the day you actually lived, not a catalog someone else designed. I'm Emerie, a Wisconsin wedding photographer specializing in documentary storytelling, warm earthy tones, and the unposed moments that make a wedding feel like yours. If your search for the right photographer has started to feel like homework, let's fix that.
As a Wisconsin-based wedding photographer, I specialize in blending documentary-style photography with authentic moments to capture the essence of your special day. Whether it's a local celebration or a destination wedding, I'm committed to providing you with earthy tones and a laid-back vibe that reflects your unique story. With an eye for creativity and a talent for anticipating emotional moments, I'm excited to document the raw and real experiences from start to finish. Let me bring your love story to life through a collection of intentional images that you'll cherish forever.
What Working With Me Actually Looks Like
- Wedding photography coverage anywhere in Wisconsin, from Milwaukee and Madison to Lake Geneva, plus destination travel worldwide.
- A documentary style with calm direction, so you never have to worry about how to pose or where to stand.
- A complimentary engagement shoot before your wedding day, so you feel comfortable with my camera when it counts.
- Hand-edited, high-resolution images delivered in a private online gallery within eight weeks.
- Custom packages shaped around your timeline, your guests, and your family, not a template.

As You Book Your Dream Wedding, Be Sure The Photos Do It Justice!
Picking out a dress, deciding on a menu, setting a date, and the many other tasks on the list in planning a wedding is already stressful enough. Finding the right fit in the realm of wedding photography can truly be a challenge, and hoping their style, availability, and price all sync perfectly for you and your bride or groom-to-be. I want to make this part of the planning process as easy as possible for you, so you view me as a teammate in the proper execution of your big day. This allows you to sit back and revel in the wonder of joining your lives together while I capture every moment of it!
When selecting Emerie Leigh Photography to be your wedding photographer, what I can assure is not only a special and customized photography experience, but flawless imagery that will be a constant memory in your lives forever. I have built wedding photography packages that also incorporate another great service I have available. I can also create a custom package for you if there's something you'd desire or simply something you don't need. I'm ready to serve you and fulfill your wedding photography needs.
Wisconsin Wedding Photographers Are Everywhere: Here’s What Makes Me Different.
Plenty of Wisconsin wedding photographers can hand you technically correct pictures. Far fewer will sit down and talk through your family dynamics before the big day. I specialize in reading a room, anticipating emotional moments, and offering direction only when it is genuinely helpful. The result is real joy in the frame, and my clients tell me the best part was not even the gallery. It was how relaxed the whole day felt.
Wedding Photography Across Wisconsin
I travel across Southeastern Wisconsin and well beyond it. Couples most often book me in Milwaukee, Madison, Lake Geneva, Delafield, Brookfield, Mequon, Elm Grove, Pewaukee, Waukesha, and Whitefish Bay. Not on that list? Reach out anyway. I fly internationally for weddings, and I am always up for a location I have never shot before.
Top Wedding Photographer Experience
I promise you that the entire experience of your wedding day will be documented with all the passion you feel for your significant other! Connect directly with me today and to check if your wedding day is available on my schedule. Remember that I can travel to the many different areas around Southeastern Wisconsin, and I also offer the opportunity to photograph elopements in many different destinations around the world.
Don’t forget: Destination weddings are my specialty! Although I am predominantly headquartered here in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, I have the full capability to travel to YOUR destination wedding and quite frankly, I WANT to. Travel excites my creative passion and these unique locations and opportunities to capture your wedding day in them result in some of my best work. No matter where you plan to tie the knot, consider Emerie Leigh Photography when searching for the right destination photographer!
The Entire Wedding Experience, Documented Start to Finish
My coverage spans the entire wedding experience, from the getting-ready hours through the last song of the night. Whether she's with her closest friends before the first look or you are introducing your new husband or wife at the reception, I work quietly in the background and let the day move at its own pace. Portraits, the ceremony, the toasts, and the dancing are all covered, along with the detail shots that took months of planning: the flower girl's basket, a grandmother's vintage brooch, and the handwritten vows. The approach is documentary storytelling rather than a fixed shot list, because the wedding stories worth keeping are usually the ones nobody scheduled.
