Virge Simone Images LLC
Miami, FL
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Joliet, IL

Hey there, I’m Virge Simone and I want to capture your love story. One of my favorite photos is one of my late grandfather holding my now 19 year old daughter when she was just a few days old. The photo was taken by me and I would guess with a basic point and shoot camera so the quality is not the best, kinda blurry, the colors are washed out but I LOVE that photo. That photo signifies to be to always be present and in the moment, because that’s the last photo I was able to take of my grandfather. As a photographer, that photo tells a story, its dated, its memorable and its timeless.

Marilyn Lamanna Photography

Astoria, NY

  • Serves Joliet, IL for additional fees

Hey there!! My name is Marilyn and I'm so glad you're here ♡ I am a couples + wedding photographer based in New York City, and happy to travel to wherever your day is at! I've had pink hair for the last 6 years so at this point it has become a personality trait and I'm 100% okay with it. I love the outdoors, pat every dog I can, and thrive on ben and jerry's. My ideal place to be would likely be frolicking in wildflowers in a dress that's way too long, but the longer the better. The patio of my NYC apartment with a good book is a close second favorite though, for sure.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I are so happy with our wedding photos! Marilyn was great to work with, so friendly and understanding and made us both feel very comfortable. She was very organized in the lead up and we knew exactly what to expect and communicated very clearly with us throughout the entire process. Definitely would recommend her for any photography needs!

I cannot even begin to describe the amazing experience we had with Tomi but I am going to try! Looking for a wedding photographer can be extremely overwhelming, searching from site to site. When I stumbled across Tomi’s page, something just clicked and I felt confident in my choice to pursue securing him for our big day. Tomi was super responsive from the get go. Setting up our first meet and greet very quickly. From our first call, we became fast friends. I explained our want for many non traditional aspects of the wedding day and he was up for the challenges. All of our calls were more like friends catching up than a service agreement. The day of the wedding was perfect. He was so friendly and accommodating, hands on and just so much fun to be around. He worked with us at our pace and gave plenty of pic options. My guests absolutely adored him and he became fast friends with many! Even got some push-ups out of a few of them! He was very fast with the turnaround of the pictures and there were no words for how amazing they are. I cried. The love he captured that day, I can never say thank you enough. Tomi, from start to finish, you were amazing. Thank you so much for everything you did to capture so many amazing moments on our day. I am so happy we met! You are the best! Book him, ladies & gents! You will not regret it!

I was matched with Arie through what was called Tolman Media at the time. I had huge fears and reservations just having a photographer chosen for one of the biggest days of your life but Arie was spectacular. She helped me from the very beginning setting up a phone meet and great to discuss what was important to my husband and I. She then lit up the room with her personality and professionalism on our big day. She met everyone exactly where they were and made sure everyone felt comfortable. Our wedding pictures are absolutely perfect and I couldn’t have picked a better photographer myself! Thanks Arie!

She kept me sane and on track the entire day and even advocated for me when I was too anxious to do so myself. Our photos are stunning and far exceeded my expectations.

Hi, it's me, Kiley! I am the proud mama of two young children, a rescued dog and two rescued cats, and I am grateful to be married to my best friend. I love the outdoors, cycling, yoga, good coffee, cheesy romantic comedies, folk & bluegrass music, and great vegan food. I’m excited to be in the Midwest after growing up on the west coast!

It was a pleasure to have Kiley as our photographer at our wedding. Leading up to the wedding she was very responsive, and made time to get to know us as a couple, answer any questions we had, and figure out details/ logistics so she could be prepared for the day. She also arrived early to make sure she was familiar enough with the venue. We really appreciated her calm and composed demeanor, and how kind she was- she made us feel so comfortable. One of my favorite parts about having Kiley as our photographer was seeing all of the wonderful candid and sweet moments she captured. She did a great job of blending in and letting us have our moments, and we didn’t even realize she was taking pictures. She also has an easy to navigate online payment system/ gallery, and sent us an engraved flash drive with our photos on it, which was so sweet.

I believe you can't stand behind your business unless you can say you fully understand it – and 24 years of marriage is proof that I KNOW LOVE. I set out to capture the essence of love when I started Parker Photography in 2018. I have been married to my best friend for the last 24 years, and people who meet us swear we are newlyweds. We still act like lovestruck teenagers with each other, that same feeling we get from every newly engaged couple that we meet. We know where our couples are coming from and what they hope to capture in their engagement sessions and on their wedding day, and we make it effortless for them to achieve their goals.

Deb and her team did an absolutely amazing job with our wedding pictures in April 2021. The pictures are so beautiful and did a great job of capturing our day. She got the pictures back to us so quick too! Our friends and family have not stopped texting us raving about how nice the pictures came out! Would recommend Parker Photography to anyone.

I am a documentary wedding photographer -- I'm all about capturing real moments. In my photographs, I’m always shooting with an eye for color, light, and dynamic shadows. I integrate these technical aspects with my background in film, literature and storytelling so with every wedding, I create a series of documentary photos that recreates the authentic narrative of a day. I’m always chasing the candid, the emotional, even the un-noticed everyday details; things that make you do a double take, little moments that make your heart swell.

Awarded Best of Zola
We approached Rebecca for her photojournalistic photography, something we explicitly wanted in our wedding because we wanted those natural moments captured without looking awkward, and she astonished us by capturing so many sentimental and hilarious parts throughout our wedding. From framing to editing, the photos turned out fantastic and we love them so much! You can see raw emotion, joy, and amazement throughout them. She truly captured the feelings of the day without making us feel overly posed and orchestrated; she made it all feel natural and sometimes even seemed to disappear out of sight (although the photos prove she was there all along). She truly is an artist! We also appreciated Rebecca and Stephanie getting onto the dance floor and grooving with us while capturing hilarious moments. We highly recommend Rebecca if you want authentic, beautiful photos from someone who understands how to include cultural and personal values in your special event!

I have a passion for travel and I love meeting new people and hearing their crazy (or not so crazy) stories. I love trying new things and walking around a new city until my feet bleed (that's literally happened...still love you tho, NYC). I'm a major extrovert, but I have a great appreciation for the little things in life. You'll likely find me sipping some strong coffee at a local café or snuggled up on the couch with some wine, pizza, and my husband on a rainy day. With a camera in hand, I am probably the most annoying person to travel with, stopping every ten feet to take a picture. Sorry not sorry.

I believe in friends and family and friends that are like family. You will rarely find me with anything sweet in my hand, and definitely zero chocolate. But I can promise you I've never turned down a french fry. When I'm not taking selfies with my clients, you can find me watching reruns (Friends, Schitt's Creek, and Parks and Rec, of course), car dancing, reciting early 00's hip hop lyrics, and online shopping.

Katy is truly amazing. She photographed our wedding in 2014 and the pictures turned out phenomenal. She also arranged to shoot at Victory Field for our engagement session which was such an awesome experience. Almost 8 years later, she is still our go-to photographer. Not once have we felt we were being “posed” for a photo. She has a way of capturing those raw, authentic moments without being invasive and she has always made us feel comfortable. She has such an amazing energy and you can feel the passion she has for her career.

I'm a Wedding photographer based in Northern Illinois - My photo aesthetic is probably best described as an earth toned Cinematic. Style of shooting??? Basicalllyyy editorial with minor prompting for those select few that are camera shy. Trust me - I want you to look good so you can see your pretty face on this site front & center! I took a break for a while being a mom of a few wildlings, moved across the country with the love of my life and just finding out how much I missed home & how amazing the people are around me in the right areas. Love to travel, bucket list is still Joshua Tree in California + ALWAYS Colorado!

My fiancé found her online, and they both planned the most beautiful “surprise” engagement (I was suspicious) she made it so prefect and I was overjoyed with how the pictures turned out. This moment she captured for me is one I get to tell and show my grandchildren about someday and that means more to me than anything else

We went through Essence for our photographer, DJ, and photobooth. Booking was straightforward and easy, and Ron and Sheila were both very responsive. Our photographer Allison did an amazing job on pre-ceremony shots at the Garden of the Phoenix, and when an emergency came up, her boss Peggy stepped in and took over seamlessly handling both the ceremony and reception. Both Allison and Peggy really captured our best sides, despite neither of us being particularly photogenic. The photos turned out great, and the turn-around time was unbelievably fast!

I am a Chicago Southside native and have been working out of Chicago capturing weddings for the past 10 years now. Throughout my journey in life, photography has been healing during difficult times, and extraordinarily empowering and prolonging during life’s best. My goal is to share my love for the art of capturing a moment with others in new and unique ways. Taking a picture is not the highlight of my work, but rather it is taking time to get to know my clients in a real and authentic way, and then collaborating with them to create something unique and personal. I am passionate about consistently upholding that standard.

Muncie, IN
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Joliet, IL for additional fees

I started Megan Pontius Photography after I graduated Highschool in 2021. I didn't really get into couples photography until I got married in 2022. It wasn't until then that I really saw the different seasons in a relationship. Between the first date, to the 100th date, to getting engaged, stress of wedding planning, to the wedding day, and the days after that taking on life together. I'm here to make sure those moments are documented for you to look back on years later.

I've worked with Megan Pontius in the past and she is wonderful to work alongside during a wedding day. She wants the absolute best for her couples' experience and is professional and clear in communication throughout the day. I definitely recommend her photography services to any couples looking to book for their wedding!
