Capturing Life's Most
most cherished moments with nostalgic charm
Can you keep a secret? We were both disappointed with our wedding photos and video. They didn’t truly capture the intimate feelings of the day. It was like looking at ourselves and our husbands and totally missing the magic.
from the happy tears to the big smiles. We take our work seriously, and we're dedicated to ensuring that every moment of your special day is captured with the utmost care and attention to detail.
Our top priority is preserving your memories–
We’re ready to make your wedding day the best day ever
Welcome to the Dreamers Club!

We’re Mary and Laura–
We’re the poetic storytellers behind the camera.
We’ve always had a thing for storytelling. Before Memory Poets was born, we had separate birth and family photography businesses. We started working together, and everything clicked. We bonded over mom life, our love of fitness, and our businesses. Not long after, we shifted to weddings, and here we are!
Who you trust for your wedding videography and photography is one of the most important decisions you’ll make, and we want you to be over-the-moon confident in who you choose. So please get to know us!

Meet Laura
Hi! I'm 37 and married my wonderful husband, Jason, almost 16 years ago. We are blessed with eight amazing children, seven on earth and one in heaven. The loss of our second child, our first daughter, definitely influenced our decision to have a large family, and now, our home is filled with love and laughter.
Being a mom is my favorite job and remains my main focus today. My husband works from home as much as possible, allowing us to spend precious quality time together. We love creating new adventures at home and travel whenever possible.
My passions are fitness, particularly weight lifting, and music. I love singing and playing piano with my dad and brother-in-law as we lead the worship band at our church. Like my dad, I can never sit still. I am constantly finding new house projects to tackle. My creative side keeps me hands-on and constantly involved.
I find peace and joy in nature, especially the whispering pines, mountains, and sea life—if I see a dolphin, all bets are off; good luck trying to pull me away!
Meet Mary
Hey there! I'm 33, have been married 10 years to the love of my life, Troy, and we have two fantastic boys, ages 10 and 7. We love spending time outdoors, whether at my husband's family cabin or our yearly summer trips to National Parks. Camping and hiking as a family is our thing; there's nothing like exploring the world's beauty together.
My husband has been deployed twice, and after his second deployment, we rekindled our bond with a trip to Colorado. That trip taught us the magic of nature and how much we appreciate each other.
I felt like life was out of control a few years ago, so I dove into fitness. When I'm not being a mom or wife, you'll find me at the local cycling studio, where I teach classes. I'm a bit of a thrill junkie too! I've gone great white shark cage diving, hiked Angels Landing, and tackled the Manitou Incline. I love pushing myself and living life to the fullest.
Life's too short not to be a little weird and take some risks.
“LIFE ISN’T ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORMS TO PASS. IT IS ABOUT LEARNING TO DANCE IN THE RAIN.”
"Laura and Mary KILLED IT!"
"A wedding video is the perfect gift to yourself after the big day is said and done. It's the best way to relive all the emotions! We absolutely love both our trailer and highlight videos. We've received many positive comments from family and friends saying "Now that's a movie I'd watch"! Mary & Laura were great to work with, personable, prepared and efficient. All our questions were answered beforehand and it made for a seamless day.”

A few words come to mind with this Teaser film. Whimsical, Classy and a little Sassy, Enchanted...(that's us trying to make a reference with this T. Swift-obsessed bride!). So many amazing vendors were a part of this beautiful wedding, and we always love an excuse to get some footage of our beautiful Wisconsin State Capitol!

Lambeau Field or Bethlehem? Where this wedding took place apparently depends on how die-hard of a Packers' fan you are! These two clearly wanted nothing more than to give their family and friends the best time ever, and truly enjoy each other on their wedding day. There wasn't a moment passed that they weren't filled with joy and overflowing with the best kind of happy tears!

We truly believe one of the best things you can have prepared for your wedding day (aside from securing the best photo/video team!) is writing your own personal vows. "I found someone who can make me smile in the worst situations and be strong for me in my moments of weakness.” These two have a solid foundation that was built to last, and it shows!
We see you over there doing all the things
We’d love to help you embrace what makes your story uniquely yours. Whether that’s an elopement with just us, a massive party with everyone you love, or anything in between– count us in!
