Seth was absolutely incredible to work with. He has the “fly on the wall” style but also had great photo ideas for us, as we are super awkward in photos. Needless to say, our photo...
s turned out AMAZING!
He is extremely professional, personable and took it upon himself to provide our videographer the details of the day so I wouldn’t have to worry. He was responsive with communication and asked any clarifying questions regarding our shot list to make sure he captured our vision. He made sure we got every shot we wanted the day of and really cared about our needs and wants throughout the day.
I can’t recommend Seth enough, he goes above and beyond your expectations.
I was very picky about the photographer that I was choosing. I wanted someone with a unique style that was willing to help capture my dream shots while incorporating their own uni...
que style as well. Seth did this and beyond. I have had guests/Bridal party and even our other vendors bragging about his work. From his punctual arrival to his dedication during his entire time he was with us. To conveying everything, he needed people to do and was happy to help wrangle people into photos. We had a very large bridal party which is hard to manage but he didn’t let me worry about a thing he was right on top of marking off the most wanted photos and making sure we had the people in the right places. He even was so above and beyond in so many areas. He scouted the venue to find places to take photos without making us just endlessly walk around. He had itemed the bridal party needed just on hand (like a sewing kit I believe). He was dressed very professional and his attitude was so energetic and fun. I never felt pressure from him that something wasn’t going right or taking too long. He just did his job and at the end of the night I had realized he stayed longer than the contracted time we agreed to make sure we got everything we wanted. I did compensate him for this time but he in absolutely no way even brought it up. I noticed the time. He was not going to just leave and he was not going to mention the timeline on our big day. That was huge. I understand for some they may want to know if they go over and that would be something he would absolutely be cautious about but I had been clear I was fine if that happened, I just appreciated his continued work and dedication. I cannot recommend him more
We hired Seth for both our engagement and wedding day photos. He went above and beyond as a photographer for us. All of the pictures came out better than what we expected, and we c...
ouldn't have been happier. He even went out of his way to help with extra tasks that weren't photography related to ensure the day went smoothly. He made it a priority to capture photos similar to our inspiration photos and those that were important to us. The second photographer also was amazing. Both were beyond professional and friendly. We can't recommend Seth enough and he will make all of your pictures absolutely stunning.
Seth and his team were incredible to work with and make us feel so calm and comfortable. Seth went above and beyond to take incredible pictures of our entire day. He is creative an...
d so skilled. He managed our entire crazy family and got us all the pictures we had hoped for. We can’t recommend him enough!
Seth was the absolute best! My husband and I are not super artsy/creative so Seth’s input and guidance was super appreciated. He made sure to get every picture we specifically requ...
ested and offered suggestions for pictures we would’ve otherwise forgotten or never thought of (that were specific to the area of downtown Milwaukee and the Pabst brewery area). We paid for ten hours and two photographers which was definitely worth it. Obviously photography is expensive but Seth was in the average to upper-average range of prices we saw when we were looking, and we definitely thought it was a fair price for everything. He got our photos back to us in a timely manner and made them very easily accessible and easy to purchase through the website. There was also download options for free so that was awesome (no nickel-and-diming you for things after the fact). He had a very helpful assistant photographer and I loved their relaxed vibe/attitude while simultaneously getting everything done! Seth even did some editing and touch-ups I requested after he sent us all the photos. We love our photos and HIGHLY recommend Seth for your wedding photos!!
Seth was an angel!
My husband and I booked him for our wedding. I haven't even received my pictures back yet, but I couldn't wait to write this review. Not only were my husband and...
I beyond impressed, but so were my parents, in-laws, and the rest of my guests. His photography skills are phenomenal. He was quick, professional, and communicated with us about taking test shots and every step he had to do to make our pictures just right. He had fantastic energy the whole night even after running around from his camera to his light reflector. Even though the rest of our wedding didn't go as planned, he made sure to keep my husband and I laughing and focused on each other. I have never met a photographer that was so down to earth and easy to talk to either. I will be recommending him to everyone I know for years to come, but I'm sure I really don't have to because everyone saw how fantastic he was. Thank you Seth for everything!
Seth was INCREDIBLE!! Our pictures turned out amazing and I am completely obsessed with them. Seth has a creative eye and an absolutely wonderful personality. He was professional: ...
set up multiple meetings beforehand to ensure everything was right, gave lots of great tips, showed up on time, and got our pictures back when he said he would. He was patient, kind, worked great with everyone and made us feel 100% comfortable to be ourselves. He also helped facilitate the progression of events since we didn't have a day of coordinator which really helped everything go smoothly. I cannot recommend Seth highly enough!!
We hired Seth for our April 2022 wedding, when looking for Photographers, we had to meet all on Zoom due to living out of state. We hired Seth not just from his previous work, but ...
because his vibe is chill and made us feel comfortable right away! We are so glad we had Seth for our big day, he was attentive, professional and always looking to help out, even providing a bobby-pin for a stray curl that was going rouge! He was fun to work with, super friendly and feedback from all my family & friends was the same. Now the photos…he listened to what we wanted, captured the entire day and final shots of the night are some of our favorites! We couldn’t be happier with the results, during our ceremony & reception he was like a ninja, he never got in the way or was super noticeable but somehow captured all the moments at the right times! Highly recommend Seth for your photography needs, now to the hard part, choosing which photos to frame because there are so many good ones!
Seth arrived not only on time but a little early which was great. He took a ton of at home pictures and before the wedding photos. His knowledge of how and where to stand was impr...
essive. There were so many pictures taken for a such a quick ceremony and we then went outside for beautiful woodsy shots. He was always available and happy to take family, couple or any group shots during and after the luncheon. The final photos were fantastic. Thank you for a great job!!!! 😃
Amazing photographer! His excitement for the photoshoot was a breath of freshair. It felt more like a friend that was excited to get some awesome pics of your event, rather than j...

un! I couldn't recommend him more!!!
I was insanely happy when I found out Seth was available to shoot our wedding because his work is beautiful. That was prior to even meeting him, just solely based on his work. Post...
wedding- he is incredibly genuine, fun, helpful, and outstanding. I really can’t stress enough how much we enjoyed working with Seth. Not only did we get stunning pictures, but we had fun memories on top of it. Our wedding plans changed due to COVID. We were pretty bummed that we had to change plans, until we talked to Seth and told him our new plan of getting married in the woods. He made us excited! He went out of his way to go look at spots for us. To top it off, he even went there the day prior to check out where the sun would be and all that photography jazz. You can tell that this is not a job for Seth, this is his passion. We had a small intimate wedding and we are so happy that Seth was a part of that. Thank you Seth for making our day even more special than it already was!!!
Seth was a fantastic photographer with great personality and skill! You can tell he really cares about what he's doing. From the start, he immediately made us feel at ease and was...
able to get some great candid photos! I could go on and on about how much we appreciated his hard work ethic and great photography skills. From start to finish, I would highly recommend Seth for all your photography needs!

ne relaxed for great photos. Would definitely recommend.
Seth is a fabulous photographer! We have used him for numerous family sessions so he was our obvious choice when we got engaged and needed someone to photograph our wedding. He has...
a strong eye and is very creative. Also, super easy to work with. He went through everything with us in detail and helped set a schedule for the day so we knew what to expect. Even though that schedule kind of went out the window because of course I was running late; he was flexible, helped us get back on track and captured the day beautifully! He is passionate about what he does and will give you photographs to cherish for a lifetime!
Seth was truly wonderful to work with during such an important event in our lives. He has an ease that just makes you comfortable in front of the camera and cares about your opini...
on. We now have amazing memories to cherish forever because he was able to capture our night so well! I highly recommend Seth for your engagement and wedding photos!
Seth did a GREAT job!
Seth, his assistant Melody, and videographer Kevin were all amazing from day one! From the initial meeting discussing details for the day, to helping keep the day running smoothly...
, to his creativity with all the wedding day poses, colors, and light designs! Our photos turned out exactly how we pictured and we received them 4 weeks after! And they were a ton of fun!
Seth exceeded our expectations as a photographer. He was with us the entire day from noon on. He is quick on his feet, efficient and so much fun. Everyone in our bridal party raved...
about how great he was and we agree! He captured every moment perfectly and we were so thankful to have him with us. If you book Seth Franklin Photography you will not be disappointed. Our pictures are beautiful and we got them quickly! I would recommend him one hundred times over. Thank you Seth!
Seth did a fantastic job capturing our wedding!
We had so many guests and vendors say how energetic and fun Seth and Josiah were. The great thing about Seth is that he is flexible ...
with the planning and really wants to capture what you want from your photos. He is full of great ideas and is open to your ideas as well.
He helped with the flow of the day I didn't have to think about time, he kept us on track the entire day. Even when things were crazy Seth rolled with it. Our day truly would not have been what it was without them. The pictures turned out fantastic and we could not be happier. Thank you both so much for all of your hard work. We would choose Seth again and recommend him to anyone getting married, you will not be disappointed.
Seth did a wonderful job helping me plan and prepare for our wedding day! He made time to speak with me over the phone as I live in the south and our wedding was in Wisconsin. He h...
elped me organize my thoughts as we prepared for our wedding day. He captured the most important moments from our day, beginning early in the morning with prep and continuing late into the reception that night. Seth creatively captures several types of shots while always keeping in mind what mattered most to us. We have looked through our wedding pictures so often since getting married six months ago! He is punctual, organized, creative and reliable. I highly recommend Seth and will use him in the future for family pictures!
Seth was such a fun, relate-able, and caring photographer. He was prepared with creative ideas and listened to all of my ideas. He made sure to get every formal shot that I wanted ...
and was willing to be adventurous. We loved our winter wedding and Seth made it that much more of a celebration by doing a table run-getting pictures with every table at the reception and guests loved it! I had lots of good feedback. We love our wedding pictures and loved our photographer!
Seth did me and my fiancé’s engagement pictures and they all turned out so amazing! He’s so good at listening to what his clients ideas are and bringing them to life, but also he’s...
SO creative and always can come up with unique and fun shots. He’s fun, energetic, and clearly loves and is passionate about photography. I can’t wait for him to shoot our wedding later this year!
Hello fellow Knot users: SETH IS THEBOMB.COM AND YOU WOULD BE CRAZY NOT TO HIRE HIM!!!! Seth was a total godsend during our wedding planning and the actual day. Not only are his pi...
ctures drop dead gorgeous (which I still hear about how awesome they are a year later); but he has such a care free personality that makes everyone around him relax but still pay attention to take group shots. I was extremely stressed out during the wedding planning process, but Seth shows up, hears your vision, tells you he's got it, and then he actually has it. He was hands down the best person to work with throughout the whole wedding process and he didn't put any additional work on my plate which was MAJOR. Do yourself a service and hire this photographer. He will make you look amazing on the best day of your life and he will make the planning process so easy.
Seth is an outstanding photographer that I would recommend to everybody. He did both our engagement photos and our wedding photos and we couldn't be more pleased. He is very reas...
onably priced and produces such high quality, creative, beautiful photos. He is very passionate about his work and he will literally get on the floor if he needs to in order to get the perfect shot. He is also a blast to work with and will make your day that much more fun and enjoyable.
Seth first shot our engagement photos, which were perfect and gorgeous! We had him back for our wedding and since have worked with him on updated family photos. All of which we cou...
ld not be happier with! He has an eye for great shots and knows how to make everyone feel relaxed. My husband appreciates that aspect, especially. Not only are the pictures beautiful, he sends you sneak-peeks as he’s editing; which never took long anyway. Working with Seth is a pleasure and we’ll, absolutely, work with him again!
Seth was such an excellent photographer!! He really made our wedding day feel so special and was just a really calming spirit. He captured every shot we wanted and totally exceeded...
our expectations! If you want someone who’s gonna go above and beyond it’s him!!
Seth was amazing! I really appreciated how we directed us on how to pose and what to do for our engagement and wedding photos. This is the first time my wife and I have done profe...
