Peter A. Wagner Photography

hire a photographer, but looking back at our day we're extremely glad we did! When we reached out to Peter we spoke on the phone for a good 30 mins about what we wanted and how he operated, we went into details about the day and at the end of the call he agreed to do our wedding. The day of the wedding everything went according to plan, he got great shots of our day and we'll cherish those memories for ever.

wedding day I was very nervous (especially knowing my every move was being photographed), but Peter made me feel comfortable and all of the photographs seemed natural and not forced. He is a great photographer and a very kind human. I couldn't recommend him enough!

with his work. He makes everyone super comfortable and is such a professional at the same time. THANK YOU, PETER!

remony was outdoors, we had endless opportunities for amazing photos. Peter made it his mission to seize every possible moment without hesitation. He made everyone really comfortable, he was ver personable, kind, thorough and extremely thoughful with the shots he was taking. He even went the extra mile to create a breath-taking slideshow for us to share with our friends and family. When the wedding is over you are left with 2 things. Memories and photos. Thank you Peter for giving us the best of both.

t helped us plan out our timeline and photo opportunities. This helped tremendously to make sure we got every shot we wanted over the course of the day. We wanted to have mostly candid shots and Peter did such a great job capturing every emotion throughout the day. We’re very happy with how all our pictures turned out and can’t wait to recommend Peter to our friends and families for future events. Thank you so much Peter!

ds and wants for our day!

the 25F night for our engagement or during our beautifully warm wedding day. He worked great with our bridal party, and with us as we went through our day. It was very hectic but he was a great presence to have, and we could not stop getting compliments on the photos after we got some posted on Facebook

19-19 and even the guests had comments on how well Peter was doing. Not only did we have an amazing photographer we gained a friend!! Would recommend 100 times over and one again.

sponsive and professional and passionate about what he does. He was really detail oriented to all of our plans leading up to the wedding. On our wedding day, he was super fun to work with and made us feel really comfortable (and attractive). At the end of the day, he felt like another one of our friends. Above all, Peter does amazing work and we are obsessed with all of our photos. Look no further for a wedding photographer! Peter is a great choice!

right into action, arranging detail shots and posing us as we got ready in our hotel room. He was totally game to jump in a Lyft, find great-looking nooks and crannies in the courthouse, lie on the Milwaukee sidewalk in March to get a great shot, and go to a dive bar in the middle of the day (those are some of my favorite pictures). His laidback and fun personality made it easy to loosen up in front of the camera. The finished photos are beautiful and just what we wanted. We'll enjoy them for many years to come. I would 100% recommend Peter for your wedding photos.

lexible things to get the shot he wants which was hilarious!! Danielle and Peter work so well together. When he wasn't taking our portraits he was mingling among the gets but I don't see him in one single picture that our guests have posted! He is the invisible photo beast!!!

able on our wedding day and I'm pretty sure he even had a little bit of fun :) I will always recommend Peter and his amazing photography skills to anyone in need as there is no way you could be disappointed with his services!

helped us find locations for pictures (we are not from WI) and they helped keep us on schedule from place to place! Other things I didn't realize were so important until after the wedding... Peter is honest and practical with you about when you will receive your pictures and he keeps you up to date through the process (so important!). He also responds to your questions and emails quickly. Really thankful to have booked Peter for our wedding!

e it. We didn’t want to spend hours walking around taking photos because the day was already chuck full and we wanted to spend that time with family and friends (and still of course didn’t get to have a full convo with everyone). Peter not only respected our wishes but also somehow pulled off some of the best photographic moments, with us as the stars, completely effortlessly. He made us look like old Hollywood movie stars!!! (Which was kindve a little bit of the days look in the long run). While he was taking them, I wasn’t thinking about what we were doing, he had great ideas and lead us through a few photo shoots that were well worth the small amount of time we spent away from friends and fam. Not to mention, he also photographed some great “in the moment” moments and basically documented the whole day extremely well, beautifully, and with a beautiful creative eye that matched what we were going for. On top of all of this, he was easy to communicate with before, during, and after the wedding date. Having him release some of the photos online on social media was fun and made things easy. That’s where people like to share them anyway so that was great. And! My favorite surprise from him: when we booked him, we were told we would receive a personalized flash drive of all of the media after the wedding day. He sent it through the mail. I assumed just a small plastic flash drive so we had all of the files in a good safe spot. Peter went above and beyond! We received the wood covered flash drive (with our wedding date engraved on it) in a beautiful wooden box that had one of the best wedding photos from the day printed ON the box. Super special. And I had no idea that’s what he meant by “personalized flash drive”. Great touch! One last thing: peter does this great slideshow thing where it is a mix of photos and short snippets of video they shot throughout the day. It really set the scene being able to see some “moving photos” in a way. Great keepsake and something I didn’t know I wanted but I’ve watched it a lot and really love it. We love peter and working with bailey as well. Definitely highly recommend!

n and creative ways to get the perfect shot. He is very reasonably priced and the quality and service we received was top notch and beyond expectations. We get so many compliments on our wedding album and love reliving our day shot by shot. Thank you Peter!

would highly recommend Peter for your wedding!

made us instantly feel comfortable. He was easy to contact with quick responses. Our photos are absolutely beautiful. Peter gave us access to a gallery to download photos and sent a flashdrive in a personalized wooden box. Highly recommend hiring Peter; you won't regret it!

a lighting assistant. We are so pleased with everything and do not have anything negative to say at all. He captured all of our moments perfectly, he is so nice and easy to work with. Neither one of us are real fond of getting our picture taken but Peter always made it easy - found different poses where we were comfortable, made us laugh and would do whatever it took to get the right shot. Nothing was missed from getting our emotions during the ceremony to the awesome detail pictures of our rings and our venue decorations. He also offers the bonus of a combination of pictures and silent videos taken throughout the wedding day which he then sets to music. If you book with Peter, you will not be let down in the slightest.

hoots. My husband and I knew he would be the perfect photographer for our wedding the moment we met him. He ensured we felt comfortable in front of the camera and enjoyed the process of taking each photograph. There are so many beautiful pictures and he really captured the love and energy of our wedding. Peter did our engagement photos too. We are more than pleased with both. He made suggestions on how to pose and which angles/lighting were best for us. Couldn't be more happy that we invested in this great photographer!

ital protection/watermarking! Can't recommend Peter enough!

r us. He always triple checked details, which made our day all the more memorable and less stressful. Even when our ideal photo location fell through, Peter quickly came up with a plan B that was just our style. Thank you so much Peter!!!!

d about who did our photos and people telling me they referred their friends or family to Peter after seeing our photos. He has an ability to take a single moment and turn it into a wow-factor photo. I will forever cherish the work he did because he captured the emotions of the day so well, it almost feels like I am there reliving it again when I look through them-which is a must when that day literally is over in what seems like a blink of an eye! He also put together a slide show of our day with video clips and still shots-it brought tears to my eyes. Words can't express how grateful we are to have found Peter and have had him there with us capturing all of our moments, big and small! I met with multiple photographers before finding Peter and his packages were the most reasonable for our budget. He also gives you your photos to keep and do what you wish with instead of forcing you to order every print through him, like most other photographers do. We very much look forward to working with Peter again in the future!

tograph our wedding. He is such a fun, nice, down to earth guy- he is outstanding! Even my husband, who is not a picture guy said how great Peter was and is. I highly recommend him to everyone I know.

me, expressed excitement and passion for his work, made the whole wedding party feel comfortable, and even moved his way about the dance floor without disrupting the party. In addition, his release of a sneak peek photo was loved by all, causing gasps of surprise at its great beauty and artistry. His efficiency was outstanding as well. As a type A bride, I was amazed how we were able to get all the shots we needed and more in the time we had. He worked with us well as we went about our day, all the while ahead of schedule. We would not have had the smooth and effortless wedding our family compliments us on if it weren’t for Peter. He will be our photographer for life. Eric and Jessica Arenz 4/29/2017

efore our wedding, we filled out a form for Peter with all of our wedding details. From then on out, I knew we had nothing to worry about. He was prompt and super creative for our wedding pictures. And the pictures...they turned out way beyond my expectations!! Peter truly captured our wedding day! Not only were the photo's amazing but he also surprised us with a slide show video. I would recommend Peter to anyone!!

and exactly what we were looking for. He even sent a nice crafted box with a flash drive containing hundreds of high-quality photos. Peter is also a great guy and clearly enjoyed shooting our wedding. We give him our highest recommendation -- you won't go wrong having Peter as your photographer.

a day than one's wedding day (although the birth of a child may rival that), so having a great wedding photographer is essential. There are a myriad of wedding photographers out there; each photographer is undoubtedly exceeding competent with knowledge of technical aspects of camera, framing, and lighting. What makes Peter stand out from all the rest is his professional, calm, and comfortable demeanor. He worked hard to slip seamlessly into our wedding day, getting great shots of us, and of our family and friends. It was very simple to schedule him for our wedding day, and he went above and beyond to get us the pictures encompassing the entire experience. I truly was surprised he was able to do so much by himself; the resulting pictures rivaled my friends' wedding photos that utilized multi person photography teams. A wedding day can be hectic on its own, and having a demanding photographer can add to that stress. Peter is able to get beautiful shots without adding to the stress. My wife and I are really happy with how all the photos turned out. The lighting, the positioning, the tilt of our faces were all top notch. We feel that it captured the feelings of our wedding day perfectly. We highly recommend Peter!

ionally, our wedding was a large, very non-traditional, outside wedding, mostly taking place at night, with a lot of various activities happening simultaneously and all with weird lighting situations. We had no idea who we were going to hire that would be able to work with us, being fussy as we are about pictures, and also be able to capture the spirit of our wedding (which was really a higher priority for us, honestly). Peter absolutely nailed it in every possible way. The pictures are all, of course, absolutely gorgeous, but more than that - they encapsulate everything that we worked so hard for our wedding to be. He was unbelievably easy to work with, especially on a day that can be so stressful, and is genuinely a very cool and lovely person with a massive talent for capturing detail. From the moment we met him, we knew he just "got" us and understood what we were trying to achieve, and we were so very lucky to find him. According to my husband, he "made getting married 'fun'" :-). We have recommended him highly to all of our friends getting married in the upcoming years, and after seeing our pictures - they are excited to work with him as well!

everything and took any photos we wanted. Peter is genuinely a pleasure to be around and is very talented. I would (and have) recommended him to my friends and would gladly work with him again in the future. Thanks, Peter!

so super fun to have around! I went to photography school and was pretty demanding on my list of photographic preferences, and he met them 100% and without complaint. Peter is organized, punctual, very creative and extremely knowledgeable in his photography skills. Many photographers I looked at made me feel as if I would want to be checking what they were shooting throughout the night, but I had 100% faith that Peter would go way above and beyond my expectations. I am so so pleased with his work, I want to get married all over again! SERIOUSLY - check him out!

ng for. And on top of his great work and affable nature, the price was right too!

us fill out a detailed questionnaire that allowed us to tell him our preferences for types of pictures, etc for the day of the wedding. He was also very good at floating around and catching pictures of our guests and not being intrusive. He finished all of our pictures within 6 weeks or so and then hand delivered them to our house. He was a pleasure to work with and we are incredibly happy with our pictures.

ing, we were provided a thorough questionnaire that allowed us to specify exactly what we wanted for our big day. I was very impressed with all of the photographs from the wedding, as well as the preview albums and videos. If you're looking for beautiful pictures at a fair price, Peter is your guy!

g photographer, so much so that after he did our engagement and our wedding, I asked if he would be able to do maternity shots when that time comes. He's beyond personable- he's inviting, he listens to what you want, helps you figure it out, and does everything he can to make sure he gives you exactly what you wanted and then some. We had him for 10 hours for our wedding and I love every single picture he gave us (over 1000 pictures). He captured moments and people in those moments that I will cherish forever and was able to do it in a way that people saw the pictures and would say, "I didn't even realize he was right there! That picture is awesome!" Thank you, Peter, for being such a wonderful photographer.

l. He delivered so many more photos than I expected, nicely organized with a highlights section and short video presentation for our enjoyment and for sharing on social media, etc. He really captured the spirit and overwhelming emotion of the whole day, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

we were planning our Wisconsin wedding ourselves thousands of miles away. Peter was incredibly flexible. He was willing to work with us and meet our needs to the best of his abilities. He was very organized. His questionnaire not only helped him figure out what we wanted, but it also gave us ideas on how we wanted our wedding photographed. Peter takes so much pride in his craft and it shows in his work. On our wedding day, he came early and stayed until he knew he had captured our entire day the best it could possibly be captured. Because of Peter, we will have amazing pictures of our special day that we will have for the rest of our lives. We know our grandchildren and their grandchildren will see our pictures and know without a doubt that we love each other to the moon and back because his pictures portray it. We recommend Peter Wagner to anyone and everyone that wants their wedding professionally photographed.

ccommodated all of our goofy requests and was incredibly patient while we wrangled our families. He is very good at what he does.

flash drive with all of the pictures was wonderful! I would highly recommend using Peter as your photographer!! I cannot recommend him enough!

candid photos were great! The night photos are my and my husband's favorite! Peter did an absolutely amazing job with the night shots with the lighting and capturing the stars!! Peter was very professional and ensures he got all of the shots we requested. We asked him to use his professional judgement and I was glad we did because the pictures turned out better than I imagined. Peter has an eye for some truly beautiful shots with regards to background, lighting, and posing. He was always on time and very responsive to my texts and emails. Since we were so busy planning 2 ceremonies...one local and one destination within 4 months...I asked him to remind me of the things he needed and he would which was super helpful! Peter was very reasonably priced for what you get! I felt my money was more than well spent with him being our photographer. I highly recommend him to anyone who is getting married as you will be more than pleased with him. He has so much passion, vision, and talent for this field. Any bride and groom will feel as though he captured the most special moments of their first day as one!! I know I did!

phers in the Midwest for ANY special event during ANY season of the year. My wife Andrea and I are so pleased to be able to recommend Peter to everyone reading this who considers a photographer for any special event. Thank you so much for your amazing service as our professional photographer at our wedding.

able to photograph exactly what we wanted. He was where we needed him throughout the day of the wedding an he captured fantastic shots of all the moments I want to remember. The photos I received from him are beautiful and came within the timeframe he initially gave us. Highly Recommended!

the price he was asking was such a great deal. I had also heard that he will be direct so you can make sure you get a great photo every time which was the most important thing in a photographer to me. Peter shot our wedding about two months ago. He was truly amazing to work with! He showed up about an hour early and stayed over an hour later then we had asked just to make sure that he got all the pictures we wanted . Peter has great attention to detail and was very creative in his work. Peter has an eye for beauty, and captured everything perfectly! Everything was happening so fast during the wedding that it was all a blur for us but thankfully Peter was there to capture so many great moments...Moments we didn't even know existed until we looked through all of our pictures. It's like we're reliving our wedding again! I have already looked at our wedding photos dozens of times. I knew Peter did wonderful work, but he definitely exceeded our expectations!! So many of our family and friends have complimented on the quality, creativity and the quantity of the pictures. When we received our pictures on the drive in this amazing wood box with our picture on it I couldn’t believe it got any better than all the amazing pictures we had already gotten. Peter was such a pleasure to work he is such a nice guy and he really focused on what we wanted! I can't say enough great things about him! He is the best decision you will make for your wedding! This was a big investment for our wedding but it was worth every penny and more! And while you and your new husband or bride are socializing with your family and friends at the wedding, rest assure that Peter will capture every moments so you don't have to worry about anything and just enjoy your wedding! We will definitely keep in contact with Peter!
