Hey! I'm Patrick Stromme (previously known as PMPhotoMKE), and I'm lifelong photography lover based in central Wisconsin (previously in Milwaukee). I believe the most heartfelt imagery is often hidden in seemingly ordinary moments. I obtained my Masters of Fine Art degree from UW-Milwaukee in 2017. I began capturing images on film at the age of 16 after discovering my dad’s old Nikon in the attic. The limited amount of shots on a roll of film allowed me to be receptive and observe the simple yet elusive beauty in the world and people around me. To this day I still develop several rolls of film a month, by hand, in our kitchen sink and enlarge them in my darkroom. For weddings, I take on a documentary style approach with a pinch of creativity. I strive to create honest, emotionally charged images that tell a story, your story. Your wedding day is packed full of emotions. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll get serious, you’ll feel butterflies, and I’ll be there to capture all of it. I've photographed weddings all over Wisconsin, from the Fox Valley to Madison, from Milwaukee to Door County, and Chicago, as well as traveled to Jamaica to photograph a wedding. My Work Flow: Step 1: Meet couple for a beer...Or these days... chat over FaceTime. Step 2: Make it official. Step 3: Meet in a cool spot (flea market, first date spot, favorite park, etc.) for engagement photos. Step 4: Talk ideas, shot lists, & wedding day plans. Step 5: Shoot on wedding day. Step 6: Send beautiful digital gallery complete with a black & white and color version of each image and unlimited downloads within 4 weeks of the wedding, or less.
