Services
Milky Way Photography is a professional wedding and portrait photography business in Watertown, Wisconsin. Since early high school my interests have been in photography. The BBC short series Wallace and Gromit inspired me to explore the world of animation. Through learning about animation, my interest in photography blossomed.
As photographers, we know our greatest compliment is to have our previous clients love their work so much that they desire us to photograph their friends and family. If Mandi and I were to celebrate our special day over again, we would choose Milky Way Photography for our photographer in a heartbeat.
We offer indoor studio and outdoor on-location portrait photography. Please see our portrait packages page for specific details to make your portraits possible. Can't wait? Use the Contact Form to start capturing your memories.
Photography is fundamentally painting with light. Using the tools of the camera and computer, I craft light and pixels to create worlds that exalt and reflect the master Designer. Your journey through the constructed imagery is an exploration of the gospel of Jesus Christ as told through the Bible from Genesis to Revelation.
Professional photography is not an expense, but an investment every time you relive the memories seen in your photographs. If you are looking for other services or want to build a custom package, please contact me for a free quote. Maranatha Baptist University students, faculty, and staff receive substantial discounts on all our services.

Timothy Mielke
Timothy Mielke
Assistant Professor of Photography
Since early high school my interests have been in photography. The BBC short series Wallace and Gromit inspired me to explore the world of animation. Through learning about animation, my interest in photography blossomed. After graduating from high school, I studied photography, Bible, and business in my undergraduate studies.

Shortly after college, my wife, Nancy, and I started our firm in 2006. We enjoy spending time with coupes on their special wedding day. Since our first wedding photographed, our desire has been to capture your moments with professional quality in a timely manner. In fact, if we do not get your prints ready in two weeks, we will completely refund you your money.

While the digital transformation has revolutionized the photography world, I endeavor to remain current on photographic styles and equipment while I teach college level photography courses at Maranatha Baptist Bible College. We work hard to make sure you have the pictures to remember your special memories.

It was extra special for Tim to shoot the photography for our wedding as he has been a mentor and teacher for me in my photography endeavors.

Tim at Milky Way Photography did an excellent job photographing our family at Busy Barns Farm. It was a lot of fun and the pictures turned out great! He is great with families and makes you feel at ease, and gives you tips along the way. He was also was very accommodating meeting us at our location. Plus you get your pictures within 2 weeks.

Tim did our son's senior portraits a few years ago and recently did our family portraits. Both turned out great and we received a lot of compliments on them. You can't even tell how horrible the weather was for our outdoor family pictures.
