This photographer also claims to work in California, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, Florida and Nevada.
It seems this photographer had a recent name change from Britney Klump Photography to Klump Image. There’s two reviews on Yelp that may suggest why and another on Bark and two more from Zola.
It seems that the Milwaukee area as a whole is having an issue with wedding photographers in the market – SB Photography, who I’m told is pretty popular, has been getting called out for a few months for missing deadlines. The owner made a 2ish HOUR “apology” on You Tube. Gotta monetize that shit! There’s a thread on Reddit that’s been getting continued comments from more and more brides.
Updated 8/21/2024: Britany decided to threaten a lawsuit against me claiming slander but then chose to come to the original Facebook Post about her to lie about me/Photo Stealers (apparently a guy named Ed works with me on this page? NEWS TO ME!) and just being an absolute menace.
Since she’s being such an utter chaos gremlin I’m updating this post with not only more proof of her using images on her website that she did not create but also stories from one of her “clients” who is rightfully upset with the images they received from Britany’s ‘associate’ that she sent that had never photographed a wedding before.

Many of the blog posts are stocked full of stolen/stock images
Most of the older posts on Instagram are also stock
Added 8/21/2024:
Here are some additional images that I was sent regarding images that were on Klump Image’s website. They all appeared to be stock but all did appear alongside other images on the main page of Britney Klump”s website.
One of the things that Britney claimed in the comments was that it was “one” photo on her blog. I didn’t even bother posting the blog but there is definitely more than one stock image that appears on it.
THIS IS WHY I DO WHAT I DO!
A client hired Britney Klump of Klump Image to photograph her wedding on 6/20/2024 in Wisconsin. They paid $2000 for 5 hours of photography with 250 edited images and a session to be done after the wedding. They were told the photographer would be Britney and an assistant. The wedding was booked just over a month before in May 2024.
The day of the wedding they had a photographer, Karl, who they knew was going to be an assistant but no Britney. Britney never told them this was a possibility and didn’t even give a morning heads up when she texted them.
Karl only worked for 3.5 hours before leaving. While he was there he mentioned to one of the other vendors that he was excited to be working his first wedding (it appears his normal gig is wrestling photography).
To say the images they got were not what they were expecting is an understatement.
These are some of the 250 or so images that the client received, do these LOOK like a ‘Portrait Specialist’ was on duty?
Understandably, they were upset and reached out to Britney for a refund. She agreed to refund the $450 for the session they didn’t want but that was it.
This is very curious given that when hired she had images she did not create on her website:
Britney eventually blocked the client and has not issued a refund.
