The love of your life just put a ring on it. After the initial glow of engagement settles in, the real adventure begins; planning a wedding that reflects your story.
Between venues, florals, guest lists, and timelines, the process can feel like a whirlwind of excitement and decision-making. The right team makes all the difference.
As an LGBTQ+ inclusive Madison WI wedding photographer, I’m here to be more than the person behind the camera. I’m your calm presence, creative guide, and storyteller — capturing the laughter, quiet moments, and magic that make your wedding day unforgettable.
Wedding photography is about more than beautiful images — it’s about creating an experience that feels supportive, joyful, and completely true to you.
When we work together, you can expect:
• Custom timeline support so your day flows smoothly and you have time to actually enjoy your celebration
• Clear, consistent communication throughout the planning process — I’m always here to answer questions and offer guidance
• A fun, upbeat presence on your wedding day (with just the right amount of silly energy to help everyone relax)
• Natural prompts instead of stiff posing, creating candid moments and artistic portraits that feel genuine
• Complimentary wedding day travel within Wisconsin
• A clean, polished edit — including subtle blemish retouching and removal of small distractions like exit signs or background clutter
• Highlight images within 3 days so you can relive the magic right away
• Your full wedding gallery delivered within 10 weeks, telling the complete story of your day — not just the highlights
• An easy-to-share gallery with print release plus access to a luxury print shop for heirloom-quality artwork
Long after the celebration ends, your photographs will bring you back to the magic of your wedding day for decades to come.
Your wedding day deserves to be experienced fully. My approach is rooted in documenting genuine, candid moments while offering gentle direction for artistic portraits when the moment calls for it. As a wedding photographer in Madison, Wisconsin, my goal is always to preserve the real feeling of the day — the laughter, the quiet in-between moments, and the connection that makes your celebration uniquely yours. The result is a gallery that tells the story of your wedding day, filled with the tiny moments you’ll never want to forget.
I believe wedding photography should feel effortless, personal, and true to who you are. There are no rigid formulas here. Whether your celebration leans timeless and elegant or wildly adventurous, our time together becomes a creative collaboration.
You bring the vision for how you want to express your love, and I bring the experience to guide, support, and document it with care. From intimate bohemian elopements to grand destination celebrations beyond Madison, Wisconsin every wedding is approached with the same intention — preserving the moments that make your story uniquely yours.
When the day is over, your gallery will feel less like a collection of photographs and more like stepping back into the memories themselves.
Cree La Vie Studios celebrates diversity and believes love should always be honored and welcomed.
All couples and families are celebrated here; LGBTQIA+, people of color, people of all abilities, religions from around the world, bodies of every shape and size, couples young and young-at-heart, non-traditional families, and love in all its brilliant forms.
Whoever you are, and however you love, you are welcome here
Anne was an absolute pleasure to work with! We felt so comfortable during our engagement shoot - almost as if we've known Anne for years. Our photos turned out even better than expected! I'm so glad I found Anne.

Anne absolutely KILLS IT at the whole photographer thing. I didn’t think I could love anything more than our engagement photos but we just got our wedding preview back (SO QUICKLY) and it brought me to tears. She captured our day better than I ever could’ve imagined and was so organized yet easy to work with throughout. For my stressed brides, book her. It’s been an incredible joy to work with her and I will always use Cree La Vie Studios for all of our life events to come.

We had the pleasure of Anne photographing both our engagement photos over a year ago and our wedding last month. Anne was fabulous throughout our long engagement.
Cree La Vie Studios was an exceptional choice for our wedding photography. From our very first interaction, Anne’s responses were timely, thorough and she provided a sense of calm to all of our questions.
On the day of the wedding, she seamlessly blended into the background when needed and she was able to direct people when needed as well! Anne helped keep the day running smoothly. The quality of her work is phenomenal - the photos have a moody, saturated color palette that captures the emotion of the day beautifully. She was exactly what we were looking for! We received our sneak peek so quickly, I can’t wait to see the rest! They were to die for - absolutely everything we wanted and more.
Our guests were so impressed that they were even naming the photographers by name! I would wholeheartedly recommend Anne and the Cree La Vie team to anyone looking for fabulous wedding photography.

We couldn't be happier with the decision to hire Cree La Vie Studios as our wedding photographer! If you're wondering if you should hire her, DO IT NOW, before your date is booked up ;)
Anne's artistic style quickly captured my interest, from the dramatic candids, deep colors, unique and timeless, I was drawn in. Not only does Anne have incredible artistic talents, but her warm and easy going personality makes her the perfect addition to ease any stress brides or couples might be feeling during the planning of their union.
From the very first meeting, she made us feel comfortable and understood our vision perfectly. Anne went the extra mile every step of the way. She spent time with us on the phone, emailed the facility where we shot our engagement photos for approval, offered up advice for our outfits, helped build out our wedding timeline and so much more.
I knew I was in great hands with Anne, and her quirky personality made working with her fun too! My sister loved the photos and her so much she ended up hiring herself too! I have so much gratitude for Anne and I would hire her a million times over! Thank you, Anne
