There will be laughter, holding hands, kissing, playing, and embracing. If PDA makes you uncomfortable, I might not be the photographer for you, AND THAT’S OK! I want to bring out that magic, that spark - the thing that started it all.
Human interaction makes my heart soar and I love capturing REAL moments. Relationships are vital to my process. I'm not just there to capture your day. I want to be your dress fluffer, tissue holder, tear wiper, and the one who tells you there's lipstick on your teeth when you don't know. Because that's what friends do.
Every part of a wedding day has importance and meaning. I LIVE for gorgeous florals and cake is my favorite part of the night! But after it’s all said and done, your photos will remain. They will be handed down from generation to generation and only increase in value as time passes. I know from experience how quickly a wedding day goes. I want to be there to capture everything you might have missed!
I know planning a wedding can be stressful and overwhelming. With years of experience and photographing over 200 weddings, I have come to know a lot about the wedding industry. I will connect you with some of the best vendors in the Milwaukee area to make sure you are taken care of from start to finish. And then we will sit down together and dream up the timeline of your day so you feel at ease while planning!
We are in this together and getting to know you and your fiancé is number ONE. It’s so important to have that level of trust with each other so that we can create something beautiful together! And who wants a stranger showing up on their wedding day? We’re going to spend the entire day together and I want you to feel comfortable and safe. Plus, doing anything is ALWAYS more fun with friends!
12 years! (11 years photographing weddings.)
My seasons are capped around 20 weddings so I can give my clients the time and attention they need. I also leave some weekends open for my family. Our girls are growing fast and I want to soak it all in before they leave us for good someday!
Milwaukee, Wisconsin is my home. And I absolutely travel! I love capturing destination weddings and elopements. Those specific packages are always discounted too!
You'll get anywhere between 100 - 150 images for an engagement session. For weddings, it depends on the amount of coverage I provide. For 10 hours of shooting, I usually give around 1000 images.
I can definitely give you feedback on what to wear! I love helping any way I can. But first and foremost, I want you to feel like yourselves. If a dress and heels isn’t your thing, then don’t wear that. Heels don’t usually work well for forests/fields anyway.

We can always reschedule an engagement session if it’s looking terrible. But for a wedding day, we adapt and change as needed. I come with several clear umbrellas and use covered backup locations to stay dry.

"Mo was an absolute DELIGHT to work with. Extremely organized and easy to work with. My entire wedding day plans changed 5 month before our big day and she was able to help rework our entire timeline to fit what worked for us. Her photos speak for themselves. She captured the true essence of my husband and I throughout our entire day. I can not recommend her enough!"
If you’re looking for a photographer you can stop your search once you’ve seen Mo’s work.
Megan + Tim
"We met Mo about a year and a half before our wedding. From her style to her editing, We knew she was the person we needed to take our wedding photos. She is so kind, so personable and made us both feel so comfortable. She brought a wonderful energy to the bridal suite, everyone loved her from the start. Mo captured our feelings perfectly. We hired her for our wedding but she ended up becoming a friend and our life long photographer."
We've never trusted anyone more than we did Mo.
Molly + Chris | Part 1
"I promise. I have been a bridesmaid 15 times and met Mo when she shot one of the weddings I was in. I have been following her on social media since then and I knew that someday when I got married, I wanted Mo to be our photographer. (I joke that I picked her before I picked my husband.) Mo's photos are pure magic. She has a knack for capturing not just the moment..."
Hiring Mo will be the best decision you make for your entire wedding...
Molly + Chris | Part 2
"...but also the emotion behind it. In addition to the actual photos, Mo is one of the kindest humans I have ever met. She was wonderful and supportive in every conversation we had leading up to the wedding. On our wedding day she kept our day running smoothly and was our #1 cheerleader. She is the utmost professional and was quick to respond to every communication..."
Hiring Mo will be the best decision you make for your entire wedding...
Molly + Chris | Part 3
"...My friends tease me because any time I ever take a photo, I'm the one saying "wait - let me check it and make sure it looks ok." One of my friends joked that I wouldn't be able to do that with every photo on my wedding day... and I told her it's ok, I don't need to. I've got Mo! I already know they'll be perfect. And they are."
Hiring Mo will be the best decision you make for your entire wedding...
Kelli + Nick
"She was incredibly helpful throughout our entire experience from engagement photos to the wedding day! Her work speaks for itself and is absolutely beautiful! If you want someone to capture your love in an honest and genuine way, Mo is the way to go!"
We cannot speak highly enough about our experience with Mo!
Cecilia + Eli
"She is such a beautiful person to bring into your day. She makes sure to coordinate with everyone other vendor. She brought extra umbrellas for the surprise rain. She rallied a wedding party of over 20 people. She kept us on schedule. AND she delivered the most dreamy, amazing, memorable photos we could have ever imagined. She is the most important vendor we had that day. I could not say enough. You will have no regrets investing in her expertise."
Mo.... is unbelievable. This woman brings it all.
Emily + David
"Her sweet smile and demeanor kept me calm throughout the entire day and she was such a pleasure to work with. She was so flexible when I changed my mind where I wanted our wedding photos taken the day before the wedding. The gorgeous photos that Mo takes speak for themselves! But we could not have been happier with our experience nice with her and the beautiful end result. I will HIGHLY recommend her to any and all future brides."
Mo was hands down one of the highlights of our day.
Teresa + Kevin | Part 1
"...not only for the pictures themselves, but aside from your future spouse, that is who you hang out with the most! Mo, is absolutely incredible and we would recommend her over and over again!!! She is not only an amazing photographer, but also a truly wonderful, professional, fun person! She took the time to get to know us and what was important to us throughout the process..."
Photographs were hands down one of the most important things...
Teresa + Kevin | Part 2
"...she made sure everything was covered for our big day. The images turned out even better than we could have imaged. We ended up having so many good ones to choose from and they really captured not only the important moments of our wedding day so beautifully, but also the little details and candid moments that really made the day so special. All the joy and happiness really showed through in the pictures. What she was able to preserve for us on film, we will cherish forever."
Photographs were hands down one of the most important things...
Lizzy + Alex
"We both love her photography style but what really sold us on her is that she’s the perfect mix of hype girl / comforting & calming mom presence / wedding industry expert. She made us feel very comfortable and at ease during our engagement session a year before the wedding. She had a lot of industry expertise when making our timeline and was so helpful day of corralling our family and friends for pictures. Couldn’t recommend them enough!!"
Photography was at the top of my list for important vendors and we loved Mo!
Casey + Nick
"She was one of our favorite vendors to work with for our wedding and felt more like a friend than a vendor by the end! She took gorgeous photos and had so many great ideas for shots. And she went above and beyond throughout! She drove to Madison for our engagement shoot, spent extra hours with us on a short notice, and made our dream of outside photos come true on the day of our wedding despite a snow storm. We loved working with her and hope to again in the future!"
I could not recommend Mo more strongly!!
Melanie + Jake | Part 1
"From the moment we met Mo we knew we needed her to be part of our biggest day. She is someone who is incredibly inclusive, kind, genuine, and passionate, all while being a phenomenal photographer! Leading up to our wedding Mo helped us make a timeline for our day, was always checking-in, offered other amazing vendor ideas, and made our engagement session a blast while leaving us with stunning memories."
Where to begin… Mo was one of the best choices we made for our wedding!
Melanie + Jake | Part 2
"On our wedding day she was nothing short of incredible. She was like having any of our best friends there on our wedding day - she made us feel so at ease and was so excited and thankful to be there. Our wedding photos are simply stunning, timeless, and are memories I am so thankful to have for all our years to come! We could not have asked for anything more. If you are wondering if you should pick Mo as your photographer, let this be your sign to not look back!"
Where to begin… Mo was one of the best choices we made for our wedding!
Melanie + Jake | Part 3
"Not only will you have the best and most talented in the business, but you will be supporting one of the most genuinely kind individuals. We love you Mo and are so thankful you are ours!"

Rebecca + Thomas | Part 1
"My husband and I were very impressed with Mo’s communication and organization during the entire year and a half planning process. Thomas and I have never had professional photos taken of us, so we were nervous about how our engagement session would go - but Mo made us feel so comfortable and truly captured our real smiles/laughs."
Mo Schultz Photography was the our absolute favorite wedding vendor!
Rebecca + Thomas | Part 2
"After seeing the results of our engagement photo shoot, there was no worry in our minds about how our photos of our wedding day would turn out. And of course, our pictures from our wedding were absolutely gorgeous. We have received so many compliments from our family/friends/wedding guests on our engagement and wedding photos. We would 100% recommend Mo to anyone looking for a wedding photographer."
