We booked Thrive for our wedding in the Wisconsin Dells area and are so pleased with our wedding photos & videos! Jerrad & Lisa were a pleasure to work with. We had two or three ph...
one calls before our wedding so everything went smoothly. They were timely, organized, and fun! They made everyone feel comfortable and captured so many special moments throughout the day.
The quality of the photos and videos are AMAZING!! We got hundreds of photos, a video of our ceremony, a video of the speaches, and a 7 minute highlight video that really captured the whole day. Quick to respond to emails and even made and a few edits to our video after I saw it.
10/10 would recommend!!

ngagement shoot. They are very experienced photographers and were so helpful when it came to how to/where to pose for both our engagement and wedding pictures.

It’s difficult to put into words how amazing Jerrad and Lisa’s work is. Jerrad did our engagement pictures, which were flawless. He gave great direction, took us to multiple areas ...
for pictures, and even laid on wet and muddy ground to get his shots. Lisa and Adam did our wedding and I have chills just from our sneak peaks! They had amazing ideas and gave great direction. Everyone was very professional, a lot of fun, and kept the flow going for the day. I can’t say enough great things!
Absolutely amazing! Loved working with Lisa and Jerrad!
We hired Thrive Photography & Films for our photographer and videographer. Everyone was fabulous to work with and we can't wait to get the final product back.
Jerrad & Lisa have incredible talent that shines through their photography and videography. It was an absolute pleasure working with them both. Jarrad and one of their associates (...
Adam) helped on our wedding day and they were SO FUN to work with. The entire wedding party had a blast with these guys. Jarrad also shot our engagement photos and he was professional but still very fun and humorous with us then as well. We would highly recommend them to all our friends and family!

The best to work with! What an amazing experience. Thrive did a wonderful job capturing our style through photography. So professional yet so down to earth. Our wedding pictures...
turned out amazing and we didn't have to wait long to get them following our wedding. Thrive nailed our event and I would highly recommend their services.
Lisa is a great person and photographer to work with. She took some gorgeous photos of our engagement, wedding and our doggy birthday party. She's extremely passionate with her job...
and works well with any surroundings.
She put together our save the dates and sent me several options to choose from. She worked with me in making sure we had exactly what I wanted. She's extremely flexible and willing to make the client very happy and pleased.
She also directs people well to get the wedding party together. I've been involved in weddings where the photographer is extremely rude and never got that vibe from Lisa. I have been the bride with her and a bridesmaid, so I've seen her in action a couple times.
She is reasonably priced and offers some great deals. When I was wedding planning, photographers can get so expensive. When I came across Thrive, she offered everything I wanted and then some that was around my budget.
I recommend her to anyone who wants a photographer who is passionate, reasonably priced and eager to be creative. I look forward to working with her again for future photo shoots! I look forward to watching her and her company grow.
Thrive Photography and design exceeded our expectations! Lisa is a phenomenal photographer, she has a natural eye and truly brings the best out in her subjects. We couldn't be ha...
ppier with how our photos turned out. We consistently hear people rave about the quality of the photos, the imagery, and the real essence of the day being captured so articulately! Thank you for everything - from engagement session to final product - 5 stars all day every time!!!!
We used Thrive Photography a few years ago to shoot our family photos, which turned out great. Lisa came to our house and shot very natural poses, and captured all the natural outd...
oor beauty at our lake home. She shot multiple settings so we had lots to choose from.
She was also the photographer at my brother's wedding and again her pictures were unique and very in line with the style of the bride and groom.
She will be the photographer for my wedding a few months! She did our engagement session and the photographs were great! She definitely captured our vision in her work. She allows you to be very actively involved in the pictures so you get what you want out of the session, but also has great suggestions to lead the way!
Lisa also designed our save the dates which I absolutely LOVED! She has many differnt options to choose from when picking a photography package which is great for brides of all budgets! I would highly recommend Thrive Photography to any of my friends and family.
When we were looking for photographers, it was really important to us that we could afford two photographers for the 9-hour timeframe we desired. We wanted to avoid the big photo g...
roups that simply assign you a photographer, as my sister did that for her wedding and hated her photos. Everywhere I looked in Milwaukee, we felt like the choices were either to pay for a really well known, reputable photographer who was far too expensive for ONE person ($6k+ for 8 hours) or be stuck with the big shops and gamble with quality.
I found Thrive Photography & Design via Facebook, and am so happy we chose them! They were cost-effective, so we could afford two photographers for the whole day/evening, as we got to create a custom package, removing and adding things that mattered to us. Lisa Hamilton truly listened to us, understood our preferences, and made us feel comfortable and confident during both our engagement photo shoot and throughout our wedding day.
We wanted really nice, classic photos, and didn't want to be put into awkward poses (like leg pops and guy-carrying-girl) that didn't feel like our style. She did a great job creating scenes and poses that felt more natural to us, and that came through well in the pictures, as no one looks uncomfortable.
In addition, she was open to referencing a short shot list that detailed the photos we wanted to make sure we got (family group shots, sister and brother pictures, etc.), and many photographers refuse to do that. Because of this, not only do we have a collection of timeless bride/groom pics, but a great spread of beautiful photos featuring the people we love who came to celebrate with us! We continue to receive so many compliments from our guests who've enjoyed their pictures, too.
I'm very glad we chose Thrive, and definitely recommend them for weddings. (They also do videography, if you have interest in that, too. I did not use that service, however, so cannot comment on it.)
We could not have loved our photographers more! A perfect mix of classic and modern poses. They were more than willing to work with our budget and customized a package for us. Also...
, very quick turn around time and very easy to get a hold of!
