Photographer La Crosse | Weddings, Engagements, Families, and More

/ Couples Photography, Wisconsin / By

Looking for a photographer in La Crosse, Wisconsin who can capture your real moments with authenticity, artistry, and heart?
Welcome — I’m Benjamin, founder of Boxcar Photography. I specialize in natural, relaxed wedding photography, engagement sessions, family portraits, senior photos, and wedding videography — all rooted in the beautiful La Crosse area I call home.

From the riverfront views at Riverside Park to the historic downtown streets and the sweeping overlooks from Grandad Bluff, La Crosse offers endless opportunities to capture your story with authenticity and emotion.

Why I Love Photographing in La Crosse

I grew up on the North Side of La Crosse, spent time away for college, and eventually made my way back — living across the South Side, Onalaska (near Sand Lake Road), and Holmen.
This city has always been a part of my story, and it’s an honor to document the stories of others here too.

Some of my favorite memories include:

  • Walking to Java Vino and Bean Juice for coffee
  • Visiting Chad Erickson Memorial Park
  • Hiking Perrot State Park in Trempealeau for engagement sessions
  • Day trips to Winona for Bloedow Bakery pastries

These places aren’t just locations — they are part of the authentic, emotional La Crosse experience, and they often find their way into my photos.

La Crosse Wedding Photographer

As a La Crosse wedding photographer, my passion is telling the full story of your day — the candid laughs, the emotional vows, the first dances under twinkle lights.
My approach is relaxed and documentary-style, allowing genuine emotions to shine naturally without forcing moments.

Whether you’re getting married at a rustic barn, downtown venue, riverside park, or hiking up Grandad Bluff for epic elopement portraits, I bring experience, calm energy, and an eye for detail to every frame.

Wedding Videography Available

In addition to wedding photography, I also offer cinematic wedding videography, capturing not just how your day looks — but how it feels. Video lets you relive every laugh, every tear, every dance, with timeless storytelling.

Engagements, Families, and Seniors in La Crosse

While weddings are my core, I also love capturing life’s other milestones:

  • Engagement Sessions: Perfect around Riverside Park, Pettibone Park, or the scenic overlooks.
  • Family Photography: Relaxed, candid family sessions in the parks and natural areas around La Crosse.
  • Senior Portraits: Downtown La Crosse, Grandad Bluff, and beyond offer perfect settings for personal, stylish senior photos.

Whether you’re newly engaged or celebrating a graduation, my goal is always the same:
Authentic, relaxed photography that tells your real story.

Client Experiences

Hearing from past couples and clients means the world.
