Weddings with Whimsical Roots
Together, We’ll Sculpt the Details of Your Wedding Dreams
As a Milwaukee elopement and wedding photographer, I’m fueled by a passion for celebrating love stories in ways that defy convention.
I see every wedding as a new chapter, and I step into each one with fresh eyes, an open heart, and a deep curiosity to uncover the nuances of your relationship and vision. I’m not here to follow formulas or chase trends. Instead,
Let’s craft an experience that feels deeply personal, embraces the unexpected, and revels in the original.
One day, those hands you hold will be older, weathered with time—but today, they are vibrant with promise. Let me preserve this ephemeral phase forever with imagery that transports you back to the momentous day you were starry-eyed newlyweds.

"Above and beyond to create an incredible experience"
"The pride Andrea with Whimsical Roots Photography takes in her work and the connection she builds with her clients truly sets her apart, and we couldn’t have imagined anyone else capturing our special day. After browsing the online gallery, we were drawn to the rich colors and how each photo felt natural and not forced or overly edited. Beyond her incredible photography skills, Andrea’s organization and communication were exceptional. She made us feel at ease, allowing us to be ourselves while offering gentle direction when needed. Whimsical Roots Photography truly went above and beyond to create an incredible experience.”
