 Why Milky Way Photography?

Milky Way Photography is a professional wedding and portrait photography business in Watertown, Wisconsin.

Dramatic PhotographySince early high school, my interests have been in photography. The BBC short series Wallace and Gromit inspired me to explore the world of animation. Through learning about animation, my interest in photography blossomed. In college, I studied photography, Bible, and business in my undergraduate studies. I completed my Master of Arts in Multimedia Communications and my Master of Fine Arts in Photography from the Academy of Art University.

Shortly after college, my wife, Nancy, and I started Milky Way Photography in 2006. We enjoy spending time with couples on their special wedding day. Since our first wedding photographed, our desire has been to capture your moments with professional quality in a timely manner. In fact, if we do not get your prints ready in two weeks, we will completely refund you your money.

Assistant Professor of Wedding PhotographyWhile the digital transformation has revolutionized the photography world, I endeavor to remain current on photographic styles and equipment while I teach college-level photography courses at Maranatha Baptist University. We work hard to make sure you have the pictures to remember your special memories.

Photography is an excellent medium to express feelings and emotions in a tangible art form. We strive to continually capture your feelings and emotions in memorable expressive images. We would be honored if you chose Milky Way Photography for your photography needs.
