We believe Your Story Matters. Front Room Studios was created in an apartment amongst friends in Riverwest in 1996. And boy do we love it!
Through the years, they built a team of passionate photographers and videographers to tell stories alongside them. People who like to challenge each other, push themselves, and who LOVE to find new ways to surprise and wow people. We are in Bay View now - storytelling every day with photos and films. We have the best clients in the world and the best job ever. We can't wait to hear your story and to help tell about your next big step in life!

I mean, just at look at Kiersten & Ben!!! You guys are killing this selfie booth! If you haven't checked them out, hop over to the 3rd Street Market Hall and give it a SHOT! Haha sorry I had to do it:)
You can be sure that during your one on one photos with your hubby, we know where to go to get the best photos. Especially if you have any favorite places together in Milwaukee, we'd love to capture those memories for you!

You know what day it is!!! It's Pie Day! One of the yummiest holidays out there! At Front Room, we have sort of a history of going kinda crazy on Pie Day. In the old days, before covid, we hosted Pie Day Parties. Everyone would bring pie or just themselves, we'd do tastings, pie throwing contests, etc. We look forward to when this can resume in a normal world again. But until then, we will have a little Pie tasting, probably say Pie puns all day, and eat more pie:)

Whether it's walking down the aisle - or a first look planned for before the wedding ceremony - we adore that moment when our couples see each other for the first time on their wedding day!

We are simply in love with Nicole & Kyle's candid laughter in this photo. Couples often tell us they're concerned about the wedding day being a blur. That's what images like this are for. & , we hope you feel the same joy shown here every time you look through your photos!

Happy last day of February! Today we want to introduce you to Shannon, the biggest fan of spring we know! Shannon has experience traveling all over the world, Ireland is her favorite, as well as experience in the Milwaukee event world for years! Learning from experience has given her top notch customer service, selling, and content creation expertise. What can this girl not do?! Shannon will most likely be on the other end of your call or email with an excitement that always encourages and validates your inquiry. Thank you Shannon for who you are and all that you do at Front Room.

Talk about a smile that lights up a room! The amazing Lidia brings a wealth of knowledge and a bright perspective to the Front Room family. It doesn't seem to matter if she's at a romantic wedding or formal corporate event, she's always bringing the love - and we love her for it!

The Journeyman Hotel is one of our favorite venues for an intimate wedding, which we've seen a lot of - and have been loving - over the past few years! Lidia captured Claire & Ryan's loving gaze during a stroll around Milwaukee's stunning Historic Third Ward.

Ever felt nervous in front of the camera? You're not alone. Our fabulous Amanda, however, is here to help. She's our lead headshot photographer and has mastered the art of helping you shake off the nerves and walk away with a photo you'll be excited to share with the world! Is your current headshot a cropped photo from that wedding you stood up in 5 years ago? Amanda to the rescue! She'll take care of the hard stuff... you just show up and smile 😉

When the Front Room team has multiple photo shoots, video shoots and post-production jobs in a single day - you need more than an Operations Manager. You need a Miracle Worker. That's exactly what Kelly is. There's no problem she can't solve, and we couldn't do what we do without her!

Capturing a love story is always an honor to do for a couple. When we get asked to do it again for sister of a past bride, it’s amazing. Tori & Logan took us on a wedding adventure in Steamboat Springs, CO where we laughed, cried, watched lighting roll in, and danced with family and friends. Some we had met before and some new to us. Thank you for letting us capture your wedding story, it was truly once in a lifetime.

Invitations serve as a wedding's peephole. They set the tone for the event and give guests a sense of what to expect. For example, they give them an idea of their attire, how formal the event will be, and create an atmosphere that enhances their experience and wows them.
Designing with the correct typography is vital. Pairing fonts with the rest of the event design takes the wedding invitations to the next level. I always strive for the perfect mix of elegance and style. Starting with the essential invitation component — the couple's names — I chose a fun and energetic typeface for Michelle & Steve. The hand-drawn feeling gives a personal touch, which was perfect for them. A bouncy script font, but not to the point where it looks too messy or casual. The smooth and relaxed sans serif font, with no extra flourishes, compliments the script font rather than taking away from their names. Their invitation is packed with personality yet is still clean and modern.
Knowing that curated paper goods act as an authentic ambassador, what signature elements will match your day's vision and overall aesthetics?

Big Truck Day was a big success!
On May 21st, in celebration of National Public Works Week, the City of Milwaukee’s Department of Public Works and Milwaukee Fire Department hosted a fleet of vehicles around the park. Families got an up-close look at various City equipment and occupations. In addition to exploring big city trucks, the park hosted free activities for the entire family, including face painting, bubble art, and a basketball free-throw contest.
Here are some photos of the event, courtesy of Front Room Photography.
