Egidijus and Quincy of IGphotovideo are the dynamic duo making dreams happen across Wisconsin, Illinois, and more (because they do weddings). In the days of Pinterest, every bride to be, or just girl hopping to get engaged, scours the internet, Pinterest, Instagram, etc. looking for the perfect engagement and wedding photos. Egidijus allows you to flood his inbox with all of the inspiration photos. When the time came for my engagement and wedding photos, they delivered! The pictures were better than my inspiration pictures! Egidijus took into consideration the photos and my own personal taste to deliver the most gorgeous photos. I cannot wait to see these printed on my photobook! The video shows each moment: getting ready, first look, ceremony, reception....we got 3 hours of video, highlight and teaser, which I share with my friends on Instagram - it is so incredible. I had hundreds of comments. Even before the weddings, I had a lot of questions, and Ivan from sales helped me a lot with the timeline and planing. Ladies, I cannot recommend IGphotovideo enough. The time you spend with them is so comfortable the pictures and video are a dream.

Ally was awesome to work with. She was really nice, very professional, affordable, she communicated clearly and quickly, and she was great at making us look good. We are pretty terrible at taking photos ourselves, but she managed to make us look great. We are so happy with how these turned out. And she was so quiet and sneaky during the ceremony that I didn't see her once. Granted, I was getting married, but she got some great shots without getting in the way of the ceremony. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an event photographer.

They are such a beautiful and special representation of our love and she was able to capture exactly how we were feeling at the moment, as she could feel exactly what we were feeling.

A Chicago-based wedding and elopement photographer that values genuine connection, authentic emotions, and getting to know my clients on a deep and personal level. I value capturing your moments and memories exactly how they happen, helping you to remember the feelings of intimacy, love, and warmth of marrying your person.

I truly cannot imagine our wedding day without Jayde- we feel so lucky to have worked with her as our wedding photographer. My husband and I normally hate taking pictures, but Jayde made us feel so comfortable and we had so much fun with her. I am obsessed with our entire gallery and can't believe how well Jayde was able to capture the spirit of our day. I could go on and on about how wonderful our experience was, but I'll end with one quick story. The night before our wedding, the location we had booked for our offsite photos unexpectedly cancelled on us. When I told Jayde, she sprung right into action to help us find alternate options and giving advice- seriously going above and beyond her job duties. With Jayde, you're not just getting a photographer, you're getting a true partner for your special event.

Based in Chicago, Nicodem Creative is a photography and videography studio with a modern, yet classic, style. We are a husband and wife team who believes wholeheartedly in marriage. Andrew loves a simple wardrobe and playing piano, takes his sauna/steam/spa time very seriously, is a social butterfly, studied poetry in college, and would play soccer every day if time (and his body) afforded it. Marianne feels best when hiking, speaks Portuguese, considers herself a master at making açai bowls and blender soups, loves using clean products, and has to shower every night before going to bed (her alone time).

Awarded Best of Zola
The Nicodem team is everything you want and need in a photography team for your big day. Not only are they incredibly personable, they are extremely organized, professional, efficient, and talented. When we began inquiring with photographers for our wedding, we were having a hard time finding the right fit because everything seemed so impersonal. The Nicodems reached out with a beautiful email and wanted to schedule a phone call for our consultation. Our 30 minute conversation turned into an hour because they were so lovely and I felt like they truly cared about getting to know us, learning our story our story, and hearing about our vision for our day! We knew that they would be the perfect fit. Our engagement photos were so fun with them and they turned out incredible. Leading up to the wedding weekend the Nicodems frequently checked in with us to see how we were doing, if we needed anything, and even sent us flowers (how cute is that?!?!). During our wedding day, we weren't worried about anything because we knew the Nicodem Team would take care of everything. We were calm and able to focus on the joy of the day. The Nicodems did a fabulous job organizing my crazy and big family, capturing special moments, and being our pump-up squad. After the wedding they gave us some sneak peeks and we were dying to see more. Within the timeline provided they gave us our full gallery, and 2 years later, we look at it almost monthly. The only regret is that I wish we booked them for video too!! Your wedding photos and video are forever, to make sure they are perfect, make sure you have the Nicodem Team for both! Thank you Nicodems! You are the absolute best :) xx, The Campions

If you are a soon to be Bride & Groom ! Histore’s Lens Photography is the place for you ! At Histore’s Lens Photography we work with all of our couples to ensure the best photos possible are taken. When you book with me it will be an experience to remember!

Histore and her team did a phenomenal job! Even before my wedding day, Histore made sure to be in constant contact with me and made sure that any questions or concerns I had were addressed before my big day. On the day of the wedding, both Histore and her assistant, Ailani, arrived on time and were ready to go. They captured all the significant moments as well as quite a few intimate moments that you don't even realize are special until you see the pictures. Both were extremely professional, patient, and accommodating of whatever was asked of them. They also went above and beyond just being photographers, helping with everything from holding my dress to fixing my hair to make sure I looked my best in all of the photos. The pictures themselves came out beautifully. Me and my husband absolutely loved them! Would definitely recommend to anyone I know getting married in the Chicago area.

  • Starts at $4,000

I'm a Columbia College Chicago graduate. I'm a mother of beautiful little girl. I'm married to my soulmate. I'm a dreamer, adventurer, and a lover of LOVE. My passion for photography begin way back in high school and my life has been built around my passions. I've always worn my heart on my sleeve, which is how I've created so many beautiful and authentic connections with so many wonderful humans. It hasn't steered me wrong yet, infact it has brought me here. To you.

I am a wedding planner with Storybook Weddings and Events, and I am a huge fan of Jennifer not just as a photographer but as someone I love to work with and refer to my couples. She is professional and easy to work with when planning a wedding day, and her pictures are STUNNING! She makes my brides feel comfortable and confident in themselves on wedding day and spends time to get to know their personalities to make sure the day is stress free. One of the things I always tell couples when looking at a photographer is that they should request to look at full galleries vs just looking at website photos or instagram. It is important to see consistency in a whole gallery that retells your wedding day and not just have a couple pictures that are great. I cannot recommend Jennifer enough, and I am looking forward to working with her again during wedding season this year :)

I've been photographing weddings and love stories for ten years and have captured 200+ wedding days. After photographing my very first wedding for a dear friend, I couldn't believe how much I LOVED photographing wedding days. To tell each couple's completely unique and beautiful love story from behind my camera...there is no greater honor and joy!

Awarded Best of Zola
Being a Photographer myself, "who is your wedding photographer?" was the biggest question of my wedding planning. Covid-19 had rerouted our wedding, so we ended up doing a small wedding in Elmhurst, IL. She was so professional, sent out a questionnaire prior to make sure she got all the shots we wanted, and did a video consultation to make sure she had all the details. She arrived early to get her bearings and I made a detail box all together to help her with everything to start while I got ready. She got the details perfectly, captured all the perfect moments, and dealt with our craziness of family photos. I trusted her fully and she did amazing. She had preview photos up within the next day, and the blog up by the Monday following the wedding. She was super flexible and amazing to work with! Thanks Winterlyn! Monica & Drew

I've been doing photography since high school years. After seven years working as photo journalist, I worked for 5 years on cruise line industry in the photography department. It was 2000 when I became a wedding photographer and opened our own photography studio.

As an event coordinator I look for vendors who are professional, a great value, and a team player with the other vendors at the event. Doru & Claudia Halip are at the top of that list. They have a real caring for their clients needs, making sure the photographic part of the day goes smoothly, with no drama. Many photographers do phenomenal work, however it is all about them, not the Bride & Groom. Doru & Claudia stay in the background, and their work is amazing. Many of their finished pieces have been magazine worthy, and have been published. You don't have to be a model to have incredible photographic memories of your big day, if you hire H Photography!

I'm an artist by nature. I love photography, but I also love to paint. Growing up I could color for hours. I come from one of those families where everyone is passionate. Things are really loud and your mom asks you when you've eaten last when you walk in the door. If you come from one of these families, you know exactly what I mean. When my son was born I picked up a camera and embarked on a challenge to learn as much as I could about digital photography. I love to be with people and I love to make people feel good about themselves. We should all have a hype girl and I'd love to be yours.

Sarah not only takes amazing photos, she has an easygoing personality that puts you at ease on your wedding day. Her organizational skills make the day run smoothly and keeps the stress away!

Since 2010, I’ve been behind the lens capturing whatever comes my way. This includes all of your smiling faces. My artistic style is full of color and fun. Not airy, not moody, just FUN!

I love my job as a Chicagoland freelance photographer, and you usually can find a camera in my hand even when I am not working. (I often have to be asked to stop taking pictures, just follow my personal Instagram @kathleenvirginiawilliams). Some other things that I love: cooking, bike rides, gardening, adventures, dancing (some call my dancing hopping), design, a great movie, and the Blackhawks.

I have always loved capturing memories. I learned that from my Uncle Mike. Since he passed away, I have picked up his hobby of capturing people's beauty and the emotions they share in a single moment. I hope I can share that love with you as well! ​ I grew up in the northern suburbs of Chicago, and now I call a cozy neighborhood in Chicago home. When I'm not taking photos, you can find me reading a good book, grabbing drinks with friends, snuggling with my cat, or riding my Peloton!

My name is Elliot Stokes and I am a photographer located in the Madison, WI area, but I work all across Wisconsin and Illinois. I have been drawn to the camera since I was young, but becoming a father has really shown me the magic behind capturing the most candid and beautiful moments of our lives. I started my journey into professional photography officially in the summer of 2019 and received my Bachelors of Fine Arts degree with honors in Digital Photography in the spring of 2022. I absolutely love what I do and look forward to every new experience and opportunity this journey takes me on!

Book with Elliot now!! I stumbled across Developing Diamonds Photography randomly on Facebook and found myself deep diving into all of the photos. I was so impressed by the romantic look and feel and knew that was exactly what I wanted for our big day! Elliot was very responsive to all of my emails and questions. When we met for our engagement pictures even my husband, who hates pictures, had an enjoyable time. Elliot is very personable and truly gets to know you as a couple. The day of the wedding he was on time and professional. He listed to all my wants and needs in pictures I was looking for. After seeing our sneak peek at the wedding I couldn't wait to see our final pictures! They were back within a week and they were stunning! I couldn't ask for a better experience and would recommend Elliot to anyone!

Hi! I'm Sarah. Congratulations on taking the next step in your wedding planning! Choosing to work with me earns you more than just a photographer; you get a hype-girl, a dress fluffer, a confidant and a new best friend. Since we are now future besties, here's what you should know about me: My love for portraiture stems from the joy it brings me to make others feel beautiful. Few things make me feel as giddy as photographing weddings, engagements & proposals, and I can't wait to capture the next stage of your love story. My strengths lie in natural lighting, illuminating colors, and catching the candid moments that make you, you.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Aviva Media as both our engagement and wedding photographer and I cannot write enough good things about her!! In the planning process Sarah was consistent and communicative, asking questions I hadn't even thought to consider. We had multiple phone calls where it was clear she wanted to work with me to create the best version of the photos for my now-husband and I. During both the engagement photo shoot and wedding she was an absolute ray of sunshine, making everyone involved feel comfortable, but also ensuring we worked through our planned schedule so we got all of the shots we wanted. Sarah also went above and beyond throughout every part of the process: arriving early to do detail shots, calmly evolving the plan as some timeline hiccups came up during the wedding, and even doing one of my bridesmaid's hair! And, of course, the pictures are GORGEOUS!! I can't imagine ever hiring anyone else - thank you Aviva Media!

Laura did engagement photos for us in the middle of winter in Colorado, which is a challenge to begin with, and she greatly exceeded all our expectations. She suggested several locations for our shoot and was very flexible on the day-of due to weather conditions. We selected a mountain/lake location, and Laura was an expert at taking shots with different lighting and in different scenery around the venue. She made it really easy and comfortable for us to transition for our outfit changes, too. She came prepared to help fix my hair and makeup throughout the day and gave great advice on positioning and stance for different shots. My husband and I LOVE our photos and give all the credit to Laura for making sure they came out so beautifully, even in such extreme conditions! She also did an amazing job at editing our photos and providing finishing touches. Laura was also one of our photographers for our beach-side wedding a few months later. She took our favorite photos of the whole event and captured the most special moments beautifully. Thank you, Laura!

Tiffany was amazing! She came to my house in the morning to take pictures of the girls, then went to where my fiancé was getting ready to take his pictures, and then met us at the venue. She was very punctual and friendly. Tiffany is SUPER easy to work with and her prices are very reasonable. The photos came out amazing! My fear was that the photos would be “over edited” since I have seen that before. However, Tiffany made my photos look very professional and captured my vision 100%! My wedding photos are high quality, natural looking photos which I love! If I could go back, I would not hesitate to use Tiffany again.

Awarded Best of Zola
Simply put, Zachera was the best decision when it came to our wedding planning! The attention to detail that she & her team had on our wedding day reflected in every photo taken. Looking back at the photos makes our hearts swell; they are breathtaking. In the photos, there were so many intimate moments, so much genuine laughter & so much serenity captured. Beyond the photos, our wedding would have not gone so perfectly if we didn't have Zachera & her team! Zachera had every detail of our timeline down & did everything in her power to keep us on track. With our bi-cultural wedding having so many moving parts, that was not an easy task but she executed it in the politest/smoothest way possible. She is the most personable yet most professional person to work with, which is so important in a photographer because they are side by side with you throughout the whole day. We believe that couples should have a connection with their photographer; with Zachera, it's like she read our minds & never missed a beat. She made us feel confident throughout the whole day and left no room for us to panic. She really goes above and beyond for her couples- to the point that she even picked us up Gatorade on the wedding day when it was getting too hot out for us. That wasn't a one time thing or out of character for her; she checked in throughout the whole time leading up to the wedding, encouraging and supporting us in every way. Forever grateful for her presence, the passion she has for her art and her kindness.

But photos turn into heirlooms when the moments are documented in a way that feels absolutely authentically you. No forced emotions, no fake smiles, and certainly no awkward prom-pic poses. Whether you’re dressed to the nines on the day of your wedding or, the dirty white dress that spent more time on the dance floor than the altar let’s capture the authentic you and have a damn good time doing it.

It’s hard to put into words how incredible Mary is. From the moment we booked her, we knew we had made the right choice. Mary meticulously crafted mood boards, timelines and provided invaluable advice from the engagement shoot to the wedding. She has a warm and vibrant spirit that makes you feel comfortable and excited. We found many times throughout the wedding day we felt most calm with Mary while taking pictures. You won’t find another photographer like her, willing to go the extra mile to deliver a vision. We cannot thank Mary enough for our beautiful photos. They are mementos of a perfect day we will cherish forever.

This past year marked 10 years since I shot my first wedding. I’ve met so many wonderful couples which grew into lasting friendship, and photographed some amazing events. Capturing candid moments, posing beautiful portraits, bringing out personalities and making weddings fun and relaxed are hugely important to me! Beyond just capturing the day, I help every client with their timeline from the day we first chat, to pre-planning meetings, and the wedding day itself. My favorite clients are the ones that are down to earth and want to enjoy the organic moments of their wedding day.

I can not wait to have Rebecca capture more of my special family moments. My husband and I eloped on October 23rd and snagging Rebecca to capture our day was the first thing to check off on our list! Rebecca was natural, made us feel comfortable, directed us, got excited with us, and was a seamless addition to our special day! She was also fast with her response and detailed with her information. We knew we wanted to elope at Turkey Run State Park in the afternoon but were also flexible with the exact time because of weather. . . and she was flexible with us! She was more than willing to hike over a mile through the woods with us, gear in tow, up and down rocky and wooden steps – to capture the moment. The day before we eloped, she let us know she was keeping track of weather and proposed we meet earlier to avoid the rain and catch the good sun! It was so wonderful knowing she had our backs and was aligned with our intentions for the day! We surprised our families the evening of our elopement with the wonderful news and Rebecca sent us sneak peeks and a video of our vows to share with them (that very same day). I was blown away and didn’t know we could be so lucky to share photos and a video with loved ones just hours later. Rebecca also curated the loveliest video, paired with a sweet song, that I will forever cherish (she sent it while we were on our honeymoon)! It was completely unexpected and is a testament to her talent and love of capturing families in their most special moments. When we got the photos back, they looked exactly how that day felt to us. Casual, natural, fun, and timeless. The photos were stunning, she captured and our happiness so well. She is so thoughtful and immensely talented! I feel honored to have had her photograph our elopement.

I put my heart and soul into making sure the couples I work with have the best possible experience and end up with images that we can both be proud of. My favorite part of taking photos is being able to find the special moments within your big milestones. It's those candid times, along with the significance of the occasion, that come together to create your favorite memories and it's my job to capture those through my visual storytelling.

Meg was an absolute pleasure to work with! From engagement pictures to our actual wedding day, Meg felt more like a good friend than just another vendor. She and her assistant, Vic, took the time to understand our priorities and ensure that each and every moment we wanted to capture was covered. In addition to this, they were also insanely creative creating images we didn’t even think about or consider. You’d be silly not to consider her.

We can’t recommend Kelsey enough!! She was amazing to work with leading up to our wedding and the day of. Kelsey was very responsive, super helpful in creating the timeline for the day, giving us ideas on best shoot locations for the wedding day, and helping everything run smoothly and on time the day of the wedding. Also, her pictures speak for themselves, they are incredible. They really told the story of our wedding day so genuinely and beautifully. She captured my husband and I (who are not the most natural subjects) so authentically and artistically. She also really helped the day move along timely, especially with all of our bridal party and family members. Our priest was also a tad difficult about where Kelsey could stand in the church to take pictures during the ceremony, and she still captured the ceremony in full and beautifully. We also had her create an album for us and our parents after the wedding and they all turned out stunning! Would highly recommend her for your wedding, she is the best!!

Destination Wedding & Elopement Photographer for the couples who are down to earth, like to have fun, and want beautiful photos too. Capturing your most authentic selves and the in between moments is what I strive for.

Planning a wedding and then covid ruining half of your plans is stressful and complicated. We got engaged in 2018 and I booked Pegi right away after seeing her amazing pictures from a friends wedding. We were supposed to be married 12/31/20 and it would have been Pegis first New Years Eve wedding. She was so excited and booking her was the easiest thing I ever done. Unfortunately, covid had other plans. Our wedding at our venue was postponed but we decided to do a small wedding with our immediate family and friends. Pegi was on board for our postponement date and offered to shoot our wedding on New Years Eve. She was AMAZING. I knew I hired the right person. Five months later was our “real” wedding. May 8th 2021. Pegi was in communication with me constantly and answered any questions I had. She had us in a precise timeline and it worked out perfectly. I was able to get every picture I wanted and make my cocktial hour. She knew what we wanted and I love that she took the most candid shots of us. My entire family and friends can’t stop talking about how incredible she was to everyone all night. She even came out on the dance floor with us and had so much fun. So far she has sent me a sneak pack, two days later, and I’m obsessed. I will be using her for the future and recommending her to every couple I know!!! Thank you so much Pegi for everything.

Not only was his personality off the charts, his photography skills were also outstanding. He caught the sweetest moments between my husband and I as well as with our families. He captured details of the wedding that I would probably forget if we didn't have pictures (table settings, my nails, decorations etc) and the quality was stunning.

I'm going to break this down as simply as possible...... Melissa is a dream come true. She is everything you could ask for in a photographer and SO MUCH MORE. She's professional, kind,an excellent communicator, and has the best creative eye. But that's not all that makes Melissa great; she has the ability to make you feel comfortable. My husband is a shy, introverted kind of dude - the kind who'd rather do household chores than pose in front of a camera and smile - and Melissa has this nature about her that made him feel relaxed and at ease to catch our best moments. All of that is just touching a little bit on the SKILL Melissa has. Besides her exceptional talent, she is a joy to be around, Melissa brightens a room! You can't help but feel like your best self around her... it makes for some really wonderful digital lifetime memories. Can't say enough about what a treasure Melissa is. 10 out of 5 stars, easy.

They can't wait to have a stunning album full of the story of their wedding day to look at for years to come and share with generations. They see the wedding as the start of a beautiful marriage and care more about their marriage than making their wedding a production.
