Based in Milwaukee, WI, Ari Rosenthal Photography specializes in wedding photography. They are available for destination weddings and this studio also offers high-quality services for couples with most budgets. Ari's team is dedicated to helping couples enjoy this momentous occasion, and providing them with everlasting memories. Founded in 2004 by the owner Ari Rosenthal, this company has eight experienced photographers for couples to choose from. Before couples decide to book with Ari and his team, they are encouraged to meet with their preferred photographer. Here they will meet with Ari or the photographer they wish to work with and discuss their needs and vision for the day. Couples will also be shown examples of the studio’s previous work, so they know what they can expect. This team understands how important a photographer is to a wedding, and wants to make sure that they are a suitable fit for their clients’ dream. The team shares a style that is a mix of photojournalism and portraiture. This allows them to capture a wide variety of shots for the wedding couple to select from. Couples can expect artistic portraits of the wedding party, as well as candid shots showing the emotion and excitement of the occasion. Some members of the team also like to mix it up by adding a splash of fashion photography to showcase the wedding ensembles. These photographers work exclusively with digital equipment to provide unlimited images and ensure that they can capture each special moment of the occasion. Couples can request a second photographer to assist throughout the day. This studio provides reprint rights to their clients, allowing them to view and select their favorite images before printing. Couples can expect to have a complete gallery of images on flash drive or via high speed download within three weeks of their wedding. This studio can also offer prints and create a wedding album.

Highlighted review.

We loved Mark. He made us feel at ease, was funny, and helped keep things from feeling like a production. It felt natural. He understood/could tell when we wanted to stop taking ph...

otos, and was really fast at capturing the photos so we didn’t have to pose for too long. He also got some great candids, took a photo of every single person there, and really kept himself busy with capturing our night. Ari was also great and kept us updated on everything, and also was always professional and polite. We are so happy we went with them!

y. He got my pictures back to me very quick and I couldn't be happier.

Jacqueline R

We highly recommend Ari Rosenthal photography! We hired Mark as our main photographer for 6 hours. Wes as a second photographer for 3 hours. Both were great to work with and their ...

personalities kept things light and fun. Hiring both gave us the opportunity to have a lot of photos taken pre ceremony without a first look. Received pictures prior to the post 3 weeks of wedding contract. We were very pleased!

Rachel H

I loved the photos we got, but I am really disappointed in the edits and professionalism afterwards. Prior to the wedding, I had asked for a few edits to pictures (ie whitening tee...

th, removing redness) and I was told no. However, when I got my pictures back, I was sent two photos that appeared to be edited by AI, that I did not ask for. The response was “you can just delete them”. If I had known that I would be spoken to in such a way, and have photos edited by AI without my consent, I would have gone with someone else. I want my wedding photos to look like me, not like a computer rendering of me. Luckily, it was only 2 of the photos and the rest of them are absolutely lovely! The photographer did capture some great candid photos!

Melissa R

Professional response time with Ari Photography. Beautiful wedding pictures and clear expectations were met. Side bonus was that not only did Erin take beautiful pictures but was v...

Would highly recommend. We had a smaller wedding and lucky for us they work weddings of all sizes. Our photographer, Katie Jean helped us through the shoots and gave us great direc...

tions, which made all the difference once we received our pictures. Thank you Katie Jean and Ari as well for making this a wonderful experience and for capturing our magical moments.

Erica J

We had such a great experience working to set up a photographer through Ari and our photographer, Mark, was awesome. He not only took amazing pictures but was so hilarious and fun...

to work with. He was so professional to make sure everything was how we wanted it that day. I love all the pictures. We received them on a flash drive and a link about 3 weeks after the event which was great. It was so nice working with both Ari and Mark. Our guests all loved Mark. He also worked with our venue to make sure things were running smoothly that day. I would definitely recommend going through Ari and will recommend him and Mark to anyone looking for a quality photographer.

Cheryl K

Your wedding day can be kind of hectic. Erin was helpful in getting just the right photos. We have so many it is hard to choose which to have printed.

Michelle M

Ari was great to work with! He was communicative, professional and always thinking of the details. There were options to fit our budget as well. Mark was our photographer and WOW ...

HOLY COW! He was fun to work with and had this innate ability to bring out the best in everyone when capturing all the special moments. Then we received our digital photos, and they were absolutely spectacular! We were so impressed. Mark caught all moments with our family, friends and us, the bride and groom, that were loving, happy, beautiful, comedic, unexpected, reflective... We are in awe with all the shots and the quality. They are amazing. Ari also worked with us to do some minor editing on a few photos and organize them into a drop site. Definitely recommend Ari and Mark 100%!

Kelly H

Wow!! Just WOW! We just watched all the photos in a slideshow & it was better than a video. We are so thrilled & impressed with the shots Mark captured & the quality of the shots. ...

He did an incredible job & we couldn’t be happier! We are so happy that he captured those special moments for us in such a beautiful & memorable way! Thank you so much ! We really appreciate you coming out & lending your talents to our special day & you making it affordable for us to have it professionally captured. May the LORD bless you abundantly!

Artimus P

We used Ari Rosenthal Photography after multiple friends of ours had used them for their own weddings. After seeing the galleries, and doing some independent research of our own, ...

we knew that we wanted to work with them. Fortunately, we started our wedding planning over a year in advance, so we were able to choose from one of our preferred photographers. Ari was super helpful in coordinating the entire process, while the photographer exceeded our expectations. Ari actually made some suggestions that make our wedding day timeline so much smoother which allowed us to get all of the photo locations that we wanted as well as enabling us to actually enjoy our day.. not too rushed. :) Great photos, pricing is super competitive, and the flexibility they offer really sold us on them. Highly recommend Ari & his team.

Eleni R

My husband and I will be recommending Ari Rosenthal Photography and his team to anyone and everyone we know, until the end of time, that's how pleased we are! Let me elaborate: Chr...

is was our photographer and he did such an amazing job capturing our big day, that I am literally obsessed with our wedding photos! He was also so pleasant to have on site, as he not only helped us with posing/photo ideas, but he was also making jokes and having a good time with us; you can tell he's passionate about his work! As for Ari, it's been so nice and easy working with him regarding the "paperwork/business" (so to speak) matters. He always answered all of our questions promptly and thoroughly and I genuinely appreciate how kind and customer- and quality- focused he is. I also genuinely appreciate how reasonably priced their packages are. Seriously, when I was researching different companies before finding this one, I was getting so anxious because most of them out there were charging an arm and a leg but, at the same time, a good photographer was the one thing we wanted the most for our wedding day (because photos equal lifetime memories) so you can imagine how happy and relieved we were when my friend (another bride) told me to look into Ari Rosenthal Photography (whom she also went with) - With Ari Rosenthal Photography I was able to get the amazing quality photos I always dreamed of, captured by true professionals with YEARS of experience in the industry, at a VERY reasonable and affordable price! Ari and Chris, we can't thank you enough for the amazing job you've done! It was so incredibly nice working with you! Thank you for capturing our big day so perfectly!!! Now, if you'll excuse me, I am going to look through our photo gallery again for the hundredth time this hour! 😉😃

Teresa C

My fiance and I were getting married in Lake Geneva but both live in the Chicago area. We saw some great reviews about Ari Rosenthal Photography. I contacted Ari and we were impre...

ssed at his professional experience and his website showed so much talent. We were able to book Mark, who communicated with us and asked great questions about what we would like and also about our families. He used that info to get such great group and candid photos. On Sept 29th, we will celebrate our 1 year anniversary! We had the most spectacular wedding and our pictures show all the love, joy, fun and beauty of that magical day. We were so lucky to be able to book with Ari as their ability to capture the lake ceremony, cocktail hour and then indoor dinner and dancing with such brilliance. We felt the price for the day and the subsequent photos so many of us ordered were super fair and just so well done. Cannot sing their praises enough!

Lisa B

Ari and Erin were an absolute dream to work with! Their communication was exceptional. Erin's eye for detail is incredible, and she has a true talent for creating picture-perfect m...

oments. Her ability to blend seamlessly into the background while managing large family photos was impressive. I've heard so many horror stories about wedding photographers that I didn't get any references. However, when I spoke with Ari, I knew I had found the right company. Erin even suggested shots I never would have thought of, and now I can't imagine our wedding album without them. Her fantastic personality made us feel completely at ease on our big day, and we had so much fun working with her. Our wedding photos are more than just images; they are cherished memories thanks to their expertise.

Elena J

Katie Jean was an absolute gem to work with. We didn’t originally choose Katie as our photographer, but when our original photographer had an emergency the day before Ari immediate...

ly booked Katie as our back up photographer… She talked with us on the phone, she listened to everything I wanted and gave me more out of what I requested. We have so many beautiful photos that include different shots and angles so it really gives so much diversity. I recommended my Mom to Katie Jean (Ari), and she ended up using her as her photographer as well. I am so happy with my choice in choosing Ari Rosenthal Photography to help capture the love, beauty and happiness during one of the most important days of my life. I highly recommend using Ari’s services!!

From the minute I inquired with Ari at Ari Rosenthal Photography, I knew this company was the perfect fit for my husband and I on our wedding day. We were matched with Mouna (who d...

id PHENOMENAL). From the moment we had our first Zoom meeting with her, we were put at ease by her easy-going attitude. We were confident she would be able to adjust to our crazy timeline and get us all the shots we needed. And boy, were we right. She KILLED it. I don't know when she slept, but we literally had all of our pictures shared to us within a week! Mouna made us feel so great, captured all of our good angles, and worked well with our wedding party, family, and friends the entire time she was with us. We couldn't be happier and will cherish all the moments captured on camera by her for the remainder of our lives.

Ashontae G

Ari was quick to respond, professional, and laid out our options very clearly. After reviewing his photographer's portfolios we met with and chose Chris Duzynski. He was amazing! ...

Timely communication, time flexibility, pre-wedding site visit, attention to detail about what was important to us to capture - everything. We are extremely happy, 5 star experience.

Abigail R

Chris was awesome! Our pictures were gorgeous. The price was right. Everyone with the team responded promptly. Would recommend every time.

Jacqueline D

Mouna is one of my favorites, photographers very kind, very professional and excellent quality of the pictures. Definitely I will recommend it.

Mark shot our wedding in August this year, and we couldn't be happier! He was so personable, funny, and completely helped us relax for photos. When we started looking for a photogr...

apher, we were on somewhat of a budget but wanted a smaller local business- Ari and his team went above and beyond! It was super easy to get ahold of everyone and get prompt responses back, and the photos turned out absolutely amazing when we got them back at the end of the 3 week waiting period. I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out, or recommend Ari and Mark enough!!!

Day of, she was funny, organized, and knowledgeable - these qualities helped the day go perfectly. The photos were returned so fast (within 3 weeks!), and I can't say enough good things about them. The lighting, angles, mood, etc. of each shot was perfect. Well worth every single penny. Thank you!!

My husband and I sought out Ari Rosenthal for our June wedding. We worked with Mouna and she was FABULOUS. We initially had one plan and venue for our wedding, however plans ch...

anged and we ended up with a different setting. Ari Rosenthal was quick to accommodate the change and made everything seamless. On our day Mouna had many wonderful suggestions when posing and wasn’t afraid to adjust us as needed to get great pictures. She had creative suggestions and kept us on track while giving us the pictures we asked for and wanted. After working with two other photography companies in the past- I would recommend Ari Rosenthal over each one. Pictures were beautiful and we received them 4 days after our wedding.

st of photographers that were available for our date and were able to view each of their portfolios before deciding. We went with Erin who was awesome to work with. She commanded the rowdy wedding goers with ease and was very considerate of all of our needs. Not to mention, the pictures took less than three weeks to arrive and blew us away with how spectacular they turned out. Ari posts the pictures on an online gallery which we shared with our family, allowing them to purchase copies as they pleased. We were also provided with a flash drive with full rights to photos which honestly is so incredible to have the option to print whenever we please. Could not have asked for a better experience and highly recommended going with them!!

Recent Bride here! (10-23-2021) I found Ari Rosenthal Photography on The Knot and was SO happy to find him and his team. Ari, the owner, was so responsive and straight forward in a...

nswering my questions when I first inquired. He was the first out of probably ten emails I sent in my search for a photographer. His prices are very competitive and easy to understand. He has several photographers you can choose from - we selected Mouna. She was an absolute dream. We met with her via Zoom twice before our big day, to make sure we were all on the same page. She put our mind at ease from the start. On the wedding day, she arrived early to scout out the area ( we got married at a park) and she ended up finding an amazing little pond down the road that we snuck away to for bride/groom photos. Those photos are my absolute favorite! Mouna went above and beyond to make conditions and background for our photos perfect. She was so good at directing everyone where to go: who was in the next picture, and who was out- making the family portraits and wedding party pictures go extremely smooth and quick. We got our sneak peak and link to online gallery within a WEEK of our wedding! Insanity! I can't thank Ari and Mouna enough for capturing moments and memories that will last forever. I cannot WAIT to hang some of these photos in our home! I would give TEN stars if I could!

As a business owner, Ari was wonderful to work with. When we were shopping around he was not pushy, but rather informative, which was very refreshing. We were a COVID-19 wedding th...

at had to be postponed, and Ari made that an easy process. Our photographer for the wedding was Chris Duzynski. He was wonderful. His attention to detail was very much appreciated. He made sure that in every photo all of the women were holding their flowers in the same direction and that the men all had their jackets either buttoned or opened. He made sure that everything that would annoy us later was fixed before the shot was taken. Chris sent us sneak peek photos fairly quickly and then our entire portfolio was sent to us within two weeks. We very very happy with our choice of photographer!

just a few weeks after the wedding and received many compliments from our guests about how well he did.
