Payton & Pranaya’s Stunning Milwaukee Wedding at Turner Hall Ballroom

June 15, 2024 || Wedding at Turner Hall Ballroom in Milwaukee, WI

As Milwaukee wedding photographers with over 200 weddings under my belt, we’ve seen it all—but few days shine quite like Payton and Pranaya’s. With a blend of heartfelt moments, cityscape views, and a whole lot of joy, their celebration had everything we love most about documenting wedding days. Our job isn’t just about taking pretty pictures—it’s about creating a stress-free, fun experience that lets you be fully present while we capture your connection

Getting Ready at The Trade Hotel

Payton and Pranaya’s wedding day was a beautiful mix of elegance and downtown charm. Milwaukee’s iconic backdrops made it even more special. With two photographers on the scene, we captured both getting ready locations—Payton at home with her girls, and Pranaya at The Trade Hotel with his guys.

One of us was with Payton, documenting her slipping into her gown and her mom helping put on jewelry. Meanwhile, the other helped with ties, cufflinks, and even sewing a button back onto the groom’s jacket. Yes, we carry a mini sewing kit—just in case! These quiet, joyful moments were full of anticipation and excitement.

Bridal Party Fun & Romantic Portraits in Milwaukee

Afterward, we took some energetic bridal party photos at Fiserv Forum. The group brought great vibes and plenty of laughter.

We always aim to keep things easygoing, so your people actually enjoy being photographed. After the group photos, we headed to Milwaukee’s lakefront. Romantic portraits at Pier Wisconsin offered a gorgeous mix of architecture and skyline views. We made sure to capture a wide variety—from sweet close-ups to sweeping scenic shots.

A Heartfelt Ceremony at Turner Hall Ballroom

The ceremony took place inside Turner Hall Ballroom. The venue’s warm lighting and historic charm created a timeless, romantic feel.

As Payton and Pranaya exchanged vows, we captured the emotion from multiple angles. Having two photographers ensured no important moment was missed—from joyful tears to quiet smiles.

Golden Hour Views & A Joy-Filled Reception

Before the reception kicked off, we brought Payton and Pranaya to the rooftop for golden hour portraits. The sunset over the city made for a breathtaking view. These quiet moments gave them a chance to soak it all in—just the two of them.

Inside, the reception was already buzzing. From heartfelt toasts and nonstop dancing to bustling dresses and pinning boutonnieres, we were there for it all. Think of us as your wedding-day besties—photographers, timeline wranglers, and hype crew all in one.

Every detail of Payton and Pranaya’s day reflected their love—elegant, joyful, and deeply meaningful. It was a true honor to tell their story.
