Whimsical Roots Photography

We absolutely loved working with Andrea for our engagement and wedding photos! Getting pictures taken of yourself can be awkward and she did an excellent job making us and our bridal party feel comfortable. She's very fun, efficient, and was super helpful through the whole process. We love how our photos turned out and would definitely recommend!

Andrea (Whimsical Roots) went above and beyond in helping coordinate and photograph our surprise proposal pictures. She was very flexible in the exact timing of everything since my fiance wanted to make it a surprise. Andrea met my fiance at the location prior to our actual photography date to work out all of the details and get an idea of the layout. She was very responsive to all my texts, emails, and calls. The day of, she got to know us and made us feel comfortable with taking professional pictures (something we’ve never done before). She guided us in what pose and prompt to do to get a great photo in a way that perfectly captured the moment. She had a very quick turnaround time with her pictures. We got a sneak peek soon after the proposal and access to so many pictures once the gallery was ready to go. Her edits are very natural - not too warm and not too cool - with just the right amount of contrast and color. The photos are ones we will cherish forever. Andrea was overall wonderful to work with. We highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again!

Where do I even start…Andrea and I have known each other for over 20 years starting in 4th grade. While in school we were never considered close friends, but we never had an issue speaking to each other. After we graduated, we would see each other around our hometown, and every time we did, we would catch up, have a few laughs, and go about our separate ways. There were always the occasional “likes” on Facebook but yet we could always reach out to each other and keep in touch. Fast forward a few years…my fiancé at the time asked me “do you know any photographers who can do our wedding?” It didn’t take me long to think of Andrea and I immediately looked up her business (Whimsical Roots Photography) and sent her a message asking if she could photograph our wedding. As excited as I was when my now husband asked me to marry him, I was just excited when Andrea said “YES!”. From start to finish, Andrea was nothing but kind, professional, and willing to listen to all of the questions that we had and patient enough to answer them all, and because of our history, it was great to catch up on our personal lives as well. The day of our wedding, even though I was freezing my butt off outside, Andrea kept my laughing the entire time and even let me borrow her hand warmers to keep me from turning purple. Once we moved inside, she did exactly like we discussed…fly on the wall photography, which was shown in the photos after and made us feel that we were there all over again. What our biggest takeaway from this experience was, not only how Andrea treated my husband and I, but the number of comments that we received from our guests PRAISING the amazing job that Andrea did. She never pressured them into taking a picture, always had a smile on, and made our guests laugh the night away. Every picture of our family and/or friends, you can see how much FUN they had, and it was very evident by what they said about her and what we saw through the photos. Words can never describe how thankful we are that Andrea was able to be there on our special day. I am beyond blessed that she has been in my life for as long as she has and that she could be a part of this day, one of the biggest days of my/our life. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being there and for taking such good care not only of us, but most importantly, of our family and friends.

When I posted on my Facebook that I needed a wedding photographer Andrea came HIGHLY recommended from many friends. We booked Andrea for our Engagement Pictures, Wedding Pictures and our One Year Anniversary Pictures. We chose Andrea because she is a fantastic photographer, professional and an amazing person. We were looking for someone who would capture all the special moments of our big day so we could look back at them forever. Andrea exceeded our expectations. She captured every special moment of our day and we couldn’t have asked for more. I was concerned about the amount of time that we would have to take pictures after the ceremony. Andrea helped me to make a list of all the pictures we wanted and really nail down an exact timeline to make sure we could get everything we wanted. The day of she did a fantastic job of getting our family and bridal party where they were supposed to be in order to get these pictures done. Working with Andrea from start to finish was incredible. She goes above and beyond. Before we had our engagement pictures done she took the time to get to know Chris & I. She learned about our relationship, our hobbies and our lives. Which really made both of us feel comfortable with her. She is also organized and timely with her work. Something that sticks out in my mind when working with Andrea is her spunky personality. She made every session so much fun. I just simply love her! She’s such an amazing human and photographer. Our finished photos are beautiful. She captured everything we wanted and more. My favorite photos are the candid ones where you can just see how much fun everyone was having! Booking your next session with Andrea is the best decision you will make!

Andrea truly relieved so many fears I had about my wedding photos! She's very professional and friendly. She went above and beyond our initial requests, and I can't thank her enough for all she did. I never thought I'd enjoy having my wedding photos done, but she made it effortless and fun for my husband and I. She even drove out mid-dinner on a golf course with us to capture "golden hour" photos! I highly recommend Whimsical Roots and would choose her again for any future photography!

I highly recommended you choose Andrea as your photographer! She was a gem to work with, extremely professional but also has a warmth that put us at ease when she took photos for our wedding! She responded to our messages promptly and I was surprised how quickly she delivered our finished photos. Andrea has an eye for capturing the joy, beauty, and energy of a moment in her photographs.

We are so happy Andrea was our photographer for our wedding! A lot of factors stand out to us about Andrea's work. Notably: her photos are vibrant, they aren't overly filtered to look different from reality, and they capture small, sweet moments along with the large ones. Andrea was super upbeat and warm, as well as on-time and reliable. We were amazed by how many photos we ended up getting and have decided to rotate out the ones we hang in our home because there's so many amazing ones to choose from! We highly recommend Andrea for whatever event or moment-in-time you want to capture.

Pretty much from my first visit to Andrea’s website I could tell she had a good vibe and I’m so glad I chose her as our wedding photographer. Throughout the whole process leading up to our wedding she put true effort into getting to know us, our story, and our style. We wanted our wedding to be a bright vibrant day that was really unique to who we are and Andrea capture the essence of that beautifully. Her photos captured so much genuine emotion and her editing perfectly enhanced the bright colors we had. She is such a bright friendly person that made us all feel comfortable getting photographed and kept the laughs rolling. We have since moved out of state but would absolutely travel back to Wisco to use Andrea as a photographer again, that’s how much we love her and her work. You should definitely book her too.

Andrea is such a joy to work with! She has such a fun and easygoing personality, which made the process so much more comfortable for us. She was a breeze to work with — professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. We love how our photos turned out and would work with her again in a heartbeat!

We found Whimsical Roots via Google and we sent an inquiry right away to book Andrea for our engagement and wedding sessions. We loved the bright colors in her photos and that they didn’t look heavily edited. We wanted photos that were natural looking and Andrea did just that. Interacting with Andrea was a dream and it felt like we clicked not just as photographer and client, but also as friends! She is so personable and kind. She helped us get comfortable and laughing in front of the camera, which resulted in hundreds of amazing photos. We got our engagement photos back within a few weeks, and our wedding photos back in about 2 months. We couldn’t believe just how many quality photos she had gotten of our special day. Andrea was super responsive and timely with getting back to us, and it was so easy for us to put our trust in her. We love Andrea and we recommend Whimsical Roots for any and all photography events!

Working with Andrea is an absolute no-brainer for your next shoot. She shot our engagement photos and wedding, and we didn’t just value the beautiful images at the end; we valued her creative ideas, personability with us and all of our guests, and her ability to get everyone comfortable enough to act as if they weren’t even posing for a camera! Family and friends have been commenting nonstop about how much fun they had working with Andrea. There are images of our family members laughing and looking truly happy in a way we’ve never seen before in our family shots over the years. THAT is priceless!

Andrea was wonderful! She took the time to get to know my fiancé / husband and I to ensure she captured our feelings. She was very open to shooting wherever we felt comfortable and helped us do a variety of different poses. She took great photos in both our engagement and wedding settings. I highly recommend!

Whenever I think of photography, I think of Andrea. I have known her for years and have watched her business grow from just her and her camera- to now having it ALL! She exudes high energy, laughter, fun, and love and captures your precious memories in the moment. I have used her for children sessions, mommy & me and most recently our engagement pictures! I cannot help but recommend Andrea to anyone I know that is looking to have pictures done. She’s great with whatever your needs are, flexible and has some creative ideas to bring to the table. You will not be disappointed!

Andrea was the most amazing photographer! she was our photographer for our engagement photos and our wedding. I feel she captured our love so perfectly! We had so many great photos from each event that it was so hard to pick our favorites. She is very organized and always responds in a timely manner.

Simply put Andrea is amazing. We used her for both our engagement pictures and for our wedding. My husband and I were so nervous at first to be in front of the camera, but immediately she made us feel so comfortable and we had so much fun. On our wedding day I didn’t have to worry about a thing. She was on top of everything and so organized. All of our pictures turned out so beautiful and she sent so many!! We love Andrea and cannot wait to continue to grow our life while she is apart of it and capturing it along the way!

It’s so hard to find a good photographer that you “click” with and that also takes amazing photos and I have to say, we are extremely lucky to have found Andrea, she is wonderful! She did our engagement, wedding, and a boudoir shoot for me! She not only captures the most beautiful pictures, but also makes you feel so comfortable and allows you to really enjoy and take in the day! We definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer and we look forward to using her in the future for our family photos.

Andrea did such and amazing job capturing our engagement and wedding photos. From crazy dogs to a car show she was down for anything. We look forward to capturing future memories together

My husband and I had an amazing experience working with Andrea at Whimsical Roots Photography again, this time for our wedding! She killed it yet again! We are IN LOVE (which might be an understatement) with all the results She captured everything we had hoped for and more. We cannot wait to work with her again in the future for other big milestones!

Andrea was everything we could have asked for and more! She was bubbly and made us feel comfortable being photographed, even though we normally are not. She was very accommodating to our needs and easy to reach. She was unflappable amid the hustle and bustle of our wedding day. Our photos turned out gorgeous, too! We would choose her again and again!

Andrea is a very talented photographer! My fiance and I had a blast doing our engagement shoot with her. She was very fun and enthusiastic. She gave us around 250 pictures that were all beautifully edited. We are definitely hiring her for our wedding!

Andrea is amazing! She is so sweet and one of the best additions to the wedding day! She brought a calming presence and helped out with things beyond photography. The wedding photos turned out great! Also, there was almost 1500 photos from the day!

My husband and I were so lucky to have Andrea photograph our wedding. With everything going on due to Covid she was very attentive and responsive to all my crazy last minute requests and venue changes. I absolutely hate having my photo taken the day of my wedding she made me feel so comfortable and confident. She was so great that day I even had wedding guests come up to me and tell me how great she is.

We hired Whimsical Roots for our Engagement photos and they turned out great, even despite our last minute location change! The location i originally chose happened to have way too many mosquitos the day we were there and so after a little while of being there we switched and decided to try another place!

Andrea is so great to work with! I am not one that feels comfortable in front of a camera and Andrea was so welcoming and genuine while taking our engagement photos. She is great at showing our true personalities through the photos she takes. Our pictures all came back amazing and we can not wait for her to photograph our wedding next year.

Andrea was great and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera! My fiancé and I were absolutely in love with our engagement photos! She had a great turn around time with getting the photos back to us. We would highly recommend her!

We love Andrea! She's professional, organized, and always on schedule. I chose her because she has an excellent eye for lighting in pictures on her online gallery. We have had three photo sessions with her: an engagement session, day-of wedding photos, and a session with just my husband and I in our wedding outfits. All were great and produced a ton of excellent pictures. She listened to what we wanted. She also was able to make excellent locale suggestions for the engagement and bonus photo session. We are both camera shy and Andrea did a great job making us feel comfortable. On the day-of session, everyone loved her and she was great with the kids! 10/10, would recommend.

Andrea was such a joy to work with! She really went above and beyond to make sure she got all of the wedding shots we wanted. She made us feel so comfortable with her and in front of the camera that it just felt natural and easy and that's how you get excellent quality photos folks! Highly recommend Whimsical Roots to anyone for any type of photo shoot.

Andrea was great to work with! She went above and beyond to help prepare for our wedding day. We spoke on the phone a few times before the big day and even met at the venue a few weeks before the wedding, so that Andrea could get a feel for the place. Our pictures are perfect. I can’t even believe they are from our wedding!! She did an amazing job at catching all the details of the day, as well as capturing true emotions from so many people. I would highly recommend Andrea as your wedding day photographer!

Andrea was such a joy to work with and has a natural artistic talent behind the lens. She photographed both our engagement pictures and wedding and did an INCREDIBLE job. We have had so many compliments from family and friends about her engaging, bubbly personality and her beautiful work - I would recommend her to anyone! She was also very affordable. She's the whole package!

Andrea was an absolute blast to work with for our engagement and wedding photos! We just received our wedding photos back, and we honestly cannot decide which ones are our favorite! There's just too many amazing ones to choose from!! Andrea is extremely personable and easy to work with. We are so incredibly happy that she was our photographer!!

We used Whimsical Roots photography for our destination wedding in Mexico. We couldn’t be happier with our pictures! Andrea is wonderful! I would definitely recommend andrea for your wedding day or any special occasion. She will capture all the moments that you will cherish and want to remember always and you will have a lot of fun doing it!

Andrea is a friend of my husband and me, but she didn't let that detract from her professionalism. Even before the wedding, Andrea did all she could to prepare for the day; on top of a detailed shot list, she even came to our church with us to learn where she could take photos throughout the ceremony. Post-ceremony shots went smoothly with her directing family members and kindly hurrying everyone, including the antsy flower girls and ring bearer, along to keep to the schedule. She definitely has a way of putting her subjects at ease and encouraging different poses. She caught very intimate and beautiful shots of the first dance, father-daughter and mother-son dances. She even got shots of all the decorations and wedding favors my husband and I handmade since we didn't really get the time to enjoy them in the moment. The finished photos turned out amazing! I would recommend Whimsical Roots to anyone!

Andrea did an AMAZING job with our engagement photos! I couldn't be happier with the whole experience. From rescheduling around rainy days, to her working with us in our vision, to the finished products. Her professionalism, personality, and expertise really made for a fun session and we have SO many great photos it's hard to even choose which to use! I would highly recommend her to EVERYONE! Thanks again, Andrea! :)

We received our wedding photos taken by Andrea Hall and they are absolutely amazing!! Andrea was able to capture our special day perfectly and gave us beautiful lasting memories. Her attention to detail is very much appreciated. She made us feel extremely comfortable as well as being fun and easy to work with. We will remember our day forever! We can't wait to work with her for future family photos!

My wife and I worked with Andrea for both our engagement photos and wedding photos, she was absolutely amazing! She has a very fun and energetic personality which makes the entire process really easy. We also thought she did a great job with organization on the day of the wedding. We had given her our list of ‘must have’ photos and she made sure we got all of them. Pictures turned out amazing and I would highly recommend her for anyone looking to get professional photos taken :)

Andrea has one of the kindest souls I have ever met. Andrea photographed our engagement and wedding pictures. She takes time to genuinely get to know you as a person and then pays close attention to detail to ensure your special day is captured by the most beautiful images. She is more than a talented photographer, but someone who feels like a friend!

Andrea was absolutely fantastic to work with. Her smile and laughter made the engagement session easier with two camera shy people. She also allowed my daughters to join the engagement session for a family photo and they turned out perfect! Andrea is pleasant, charismatic and laid back person. She also asked many questions to understand the vision of our day and what we exactly wanted. I highly recommend Andrea as a photographer. She is super easy to work with and is passionate about capturing the perfect day!

We recently go our wedding photos back from Andrea and we were blown away! Not only did her upbeat personality fit well with our wedding party, she made us feel comfortable behind the camera and it showed. The photos were all genuine and candid instead of posed. The only problem now is decided which ones are our favorite!

Andrea was a joy to work with. Marty and I are an older couple, and Andrea made our day very special, and we were blessed to have her share our day. She captured the essence of every part of the wedding. She also took our engagement photos. We especially wanted to have our elderly dog, Lady, in many of the pics. As it turned out, we had to put her down shortly after the shoot. I'm so grateful for the pictures Andrea took. We have many beautiful photos of our precious pup. We are blessed to know Andrea.

Andrea was amazing to work with. Pictures turned out better than we ever expected. She creates a perfect atmosphere. She also worked great with our dog. Would recommend in a heartbeat!

Andrea is an amazing photographer! I would highly recommend booking Whimsical Roots Photography. Not only is she an amazing photographer, but her personality is extraordinary! She is so much fun and extremely easy to get along with! The first time we met her it felt like we have known her for forever. She is also very helpful and is always looking to capture the special moments and make sure everything is perfect! On my wedding day I trusted her to capture every important moment during the day and she not only did that, but also made sure that nothing was missed! When we got our pictures back I was amazed with the amount of care and thoughtfulness she took with every picture. It is extremely easy to tell that she loves what she does! Our whole wedding party had fun with her and she did an amazing job handling our huge wedding party!! She managed to gather all 8 bridesmaids, 8 groomsmen, 2 ushers, and a flower girl and ring bearer to take amazing pictures! We love our pictures and we are extremely happy and blessed that we chose Whimsical Roots to capture our special day. Like I said, not only are the pictures a huge reason to chose Andrea to capture the day, but also her fun, amazing personality.

Andrea was amazing to work with since the beginning. After our first meeting with her, we knew she was the right person to capture our special day. The engagement session last October was so much fun and she was very accommodating with what we wanted, we loved how the photos turned out. Our wedding day was on June 30th, 2017 and everything went perfectly, she made sure we got all the pictures we wanted and then some. We only got to see a few photos so far from our wedding day, but already we're in love with them and cant wait to see the rest. I recommend Andrea to everyone I talk to that is looking for a FUN photo session for their special occasions.

It was so much fun working with Andrea, she does such amazing work! We got so many wonderful candid shots of us with our friends and family, and amazing outdoor shots! Our sneak peek was fantastic, and we can't wait to see the rest! Definitely will be recommending to friends and family, and will go back to her again in the future!

Andrea was an absolute dream to work with. The name of the co. has recently changed from Rustic Roots to Whimsical Roots to clear up any confusion. I planned my wedding from across the country and Andrea was super easy and flexible to work with. She was super funny, laid back, and easy to work with. My entire wedding party commented on how she made everyone have fun and feel comfortable. I have only got to see a few sneak peaks of photos so far but I love them all. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

Rustic Roots is absolutely amazing! The happiness that my husband and I felt was genuinely captured in all of our photos. If I could give more than 5 stars I would! We had our Engagement & Wedding photos taken by Rustic Roots. The photos all turned out beautiful and Andrea's outgoing, vivacious personality made the experience so much fun! Andrea is incredibly talented and a delight to work with.

I had Rustic Roots do our engagement and wedding photos with the package we selected. They did an absolutely amazing job! They were so flexible with us, especially when we wanted to move up our engagement session to incorporate fall colors. The day of our wedding they were everywhere! We have so many candid shots of us and our guests that it truly captured the day. I am sorry that they moved away, otherwise I would go back for more photo opportunities. Again, I can say how amazing they are and how happy we are with our photos. Thank you Rustic Roots!!

AMAZING photographer!! So personable and fun to work with. After doing research on photographers for at least our engagement pictures (and possibly our wedding), we really liked the style of pictures Rustic Roots had. My fiancé Jason and I felt super comfortable, and our engagement pictures turned out amazing-exactly what we wanted. Andrea chose a great spot, some great poses and was really receptive to ideas we had. We cannot wait for her to do our wedding photos! And despite moving from Wisconsin (where our wedding will be) to Colorado, she's coming back just to photograph our wedding. Now that's dedication and commitment.

This young lady is so full of life and love for what she does. I couldn't imagine going to any other photographer to capture the beautiful moments of this life. Thank you for allowing the wonderful memories to last a lifetime.

Andrea was wonderful for our engagement pictures! She made us feel so at ease, especially my fiancé who was not looking forward to having the pictures taken. We ended up with a lot of pictures we loved, where we both look like we are happy and having a good time, because we were!

I love Rustic Roots! I had previously had a boudoir shoot in Hartford, WI which was a dream so naturally I thought of Andrea again for our engagement photos. My fiance and I live in St Petersburg, FL and Andrea flew down to take out photos on the beautiful sunset beach. The day was perfect! Andrea was very patient through my 4 outfit changes and the promenade from the pavilion, to the beach, to the water. She had great ideas and was open to suggestions as well for poses or positioning. We were able to bring some props - not knowing much of what we would do with them but she put them to perfect use. Her bright & shining personality helped us to keep smiling and made the day so special. The photos are magnificent and she wasted no time getting them to us to enjoy. I highly recommend Rustic Roots for anything from boudoir to engagement/wedding photos. Each time I laugh until my sides hurt, smile until my face hurts and am in awe of the skill and quality of the finished product. THANK YOU, ANDREA!

We are an older couple and Andrea was very sensitive to that. She did not do any of the " young people poses " but kept it very professional. She did everything we asked and especially caught lots of friends in action. She were very well pleased with her and would highly recommend her to anyone else

I can't say enough good things about Andrea and the outcome of my engagement photo shoot. Andrea was so professional and fun to work with- she made us both feel at ease through the whole process! She captured the exact feel I was going for and I loved every single photo...seriously! As an added bonus she was so prompt and I received my photos about a week after our shoot! Exceptional everything, I would highly recommend her services and would hire her again in a heartbeat!! Thank you Andrea for capturing our love and telling our story through your beautiful photos!

Rustic Roots did an amazing Job for my engagement photos. Prior to getting theses pictures done I wanted family pictures taken. I knew Andrea personally and seen that her and her business partner Emily started there own photography business. I'm all for helping people. These two are so much fun, and still professional. They allowed us to do whatever ideas we wanted, and also made sure to get there 'professional eye' ideas in as well. I have recommended these gals to my friends for any future photos they need. There prices are just right, the quality is great, and its not awkward with these two, they make you feel comfortable.

We had such a great experience with Rustic Roots! We started with having our engagement pictures and loved the experience and pictures so much we knew we had found our wedding photographer. Rustic Roots was so easy going which made us feel very comfortable and had a great eye for catching all the little moments and thinking of just the right angles. There was also prompt and frequent communication to ensure we'd have the best experience possible. We had so much fun with Rustic Roots and are very glad we chose them for our special day!

Andrea is an amazing photographer! She has an amazing eye and catches the most amazing moments. She is very fun and creative. Choose Rustic Roots and you will not be disappointed, I can guarantee! Also the prices are very reasonable for the product you receive.

We chose Rustic Roots for our engagement photos, a secret boudoir shoot as a gift for my husband and our wedding photos! All were absolutely beautiful! Andrea is a real treat to work with. She's creative, professional, honest and trustworthy! Everyone asks who took our wedding photos! We are proud to always refer Rustic Roots!
