Front Room Weddings 20 years of

Family
Front Room
started in Neil & Eron’s living room in 1996 as a way to earn some extra money on the weekends. Those humble roots have grown into a full time passion for them and others as the FR family has expanded. The FR family today is comprised of many talented teams: The Experience Team is there to support all details ensuring we bring only the very best client experience possible - day in and day out. The Event Team includes Artists, Apprentices, Videographers, and Assistants who are highly talented, trained and experienced to bring you the most beautiful art - capturing every moment of your day.

The Production and Design Team are masterful editors, retouchers, story tellers, and graphic designers who ensure your moments look as amazing as your day was. We are proud of how far we have come - from a living room office to a full service studio in Bay View, WI. Our team is close-knit and we pride ourselves on bringing fun and beauty to everything we do. You can learn more about our individual team members by visiting our website team page. We look forward to getting to know you and your family.

the
front room difference 20 Years of Excellence and Empathy Planning (and executing) the wedding of your dreams is a crazy once-in-alifetime experience. You spend countless hours researching details (great and small) and envisioning moments of your day. When it is all over, the one thing you have to look back on is the collection of art your photographer creates for you. So the quality and excellence of that collection is of the utmost importance. It should be focused, exposed, and composed by an artist who understands technical mastery. It should reflect the vibrancy of real life (not the trendiest Instagram filter). It should showcase the moments and people that mean the most to you. For that to happen, you need an artist who understands you, who listens and knows how you are feeling and can translate those feelings into artistic moments for you. You need a team that is passionate about telling your story. People who want to invest in your pre-wedding process – educating you about what you don’t know and answering questions all the way through the post-wedding process – where they put time and care into the production of your art, and not rushing through. People who understand your wedding pictures are forever – they are your legacy and deserve the same care that is put into preserving priceless works of art. You need a team that will treat you like family. That is where our dedication to Excellence & Empathy comes from - a deep desire for every FR couple to stick with us for life. We want a relationship with you that goes beyond wedding day. We know for that to happen, we need to think of you first. So we do.
We look forward to creating your legacy.

The Benefits Assistants Assistants are a huge asset and round out every team FR uses to make beautiful art.
All packages come with an Artist and an Assistant. This allows more time with dedicated attention from your Artist which means more art. FR Assistants set up lighting, carry equipment and even drive so the Artist can focus solely on capturing moments. Assistants ensure your Artist can create enhanced lighting for spectacular effects Increased ability to achieve a variety of “looks” in a short period of time - getting you back to experiencing your wedding as quickly as possible You may see Assistants using Instagram throughout the day but they do not take pictures. Their purpose is to support your Artist to get them everything they need to make the best art possible for you.

HEIRLOOM CONSULTATIONS

It’s not about a sale. It’s about creating a plan for you to have heirlooms to pass on – whether that means helping you decide which images to print on your own or for our team to custom create something for you.

Rehearsal
The moments leading up to the wedding day are some of the most emotionally striking moments of your wedding experience. Your rehearsal gathers those who are most important to you, all anticipating the following day’s events and are emotionally primed to participate to the fullest. Capturing memories which can easily be forgotten leading up to the wedding day is important. It also gives your Artist the chance to meet the people they will be working with closely on the wedding day. Getting a jump start on that relationship building is an advantage in creating a comfort level that helps everyone be ready and excited to have their picture taken. And yes, quiz your Artist to see how many names they remember at the start of the wedding day. $900 (3hrs with one Artist)

Dear New Bestie,
Thank you so much
for an awesome engagement session last night. I appreciate anyone who is a genuine smart a**... It made it feel like we were hanging out with an old friend. At the end of the night we walked away saying,
‘Wow that was really fun’...
so thank you for that. We’re really excited to have you at the wedding next June! Thanks again! -Rebecca & Kevin 35
