Welcome! I'm Brooke. I am so glad you're here. Grab a coffee, pull up your favorite chair and stay awhile. Catch up with the latest right here on the blog! My passion as a photographer comes from my love of art, creating memories, and my mother. In 2016 my mom passed away from Leukemia. My number one supporter, motivator, and overall most important person in my life was taken away from me way too early. Now all I have left are pictures.

I cannot recommend Brooke enough!! She was such a pleasure to work with for both engagement photos and the wedding day. Her work is BEAUTIFUL!!!

Michelle Zapanta Photography

Lockport, IL
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,800

What started out as a hobby, evolved into a great passion. With a camera on hand for every event, I spent my lunch money as a young kid developing films at the photo store. I became so fond of capturing as many organic moments as I can in photographs and fell in love with the idea of telling people's stories in images rather than words. I started venturing into professional photography right after my own wedding to my high school sweetheart, Erick, which was back in 2014. I LOVE everything wedding-related. My favorite to photographs are the wedding details, the bride and groom portraits and anything that will make me either cry or laugh!

Awarded Best of Zola
Michelle was absolutely amazing to work with from our engagement session to our big day! Our engagement shoot was supposed to be on a day when it rained and she was so flexible to change our session to another day. She helped guide us on what to do/what poses to do. She was always prompt in responding and just the sweetest, nicest person to work with. On our wedding day, I ended up getting a little overheated and Michelle & her husband were so sweet and made sure I had a moment to sit down and literally fanned me with a magazine so I could cool off. On a day when so much was going on, it meant so much to me that they made sure I was okay and comfortable. I can’t say enough great things about our photos- they turned out even better than I could’ve imagined. I’m obsessed with our wedding photos and will cherish them forever. Thank you so so much Michelle!!

Let's start with this - your wedding day is not about us. As your wedding photographer, we want you to have great memories, to enjoy your day with your bridesmaids, as well as with your family and your friends. Of course, there will be times where we will be working together to get some incredible memories, but a wedding is a wedding and not a production. So for us laugh! Yes, cry! And heck yeah we're going to ask your makeup artist to move you to the best light in the room so you look stunning, it goes without saying - you'll want more light than just purple up lights with candles.

Hello there! I'm Andrea, owner of Amative Creative, and every weekend we're so blessed to be able to tell the love stories of so many amazing couples. Like many others in this industry might say, we simply adore weddings. But what makes us a little different is our entire brand is centered around telling love stories specifically curated to reflect your vision and aesthetic. "Amative" means to be prone to love, so as you can see, we want nothing more than to tell your love story! But what makes us truly unique is that we understand every love story looks different. And we personalize every aspect of how we document your wedding day!

Amative Creative stands as the paramount choice for your wedding photography and videography needs, not just in Virginia, but wherever your heart desires. Whether it's engagement photos, wedding photography, or videography, let me assure you that Amative Creative is your best choice! As a bride, planning a wedding can be incredibly stressful. I have never met a more passionate owner than Andrea, who genuinely cares and appreciates her clients and their needs. She is willing to work with you and listen to you. She doesn't make you feel like she knows better or that what you say isn't valuable. I cannot express how many vendors want to dictate how things should be and don't listen to your concerns. I cannot say enough good things about them. The photographers and videographers Amative Creative chooses to hire reflect what they value as a company. They are all wonderful. My words cannot adequately convey the depth of gratitude I hold for Amative Creative and Andrea. Andrea, you are a true gem, and your contributions to the wedding industry are nothing short of extraordinary. Thank you for everything; you are irreplaceable!

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Grace was just amazing. For a day that was overwhelming and very stressful, I cannot thank her enough for her calm and kindness. My now husband and I are usually not "photo people", as we tend to be more introverts than anything else, and she went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Her professionalism and guidance during the shoot can be described as more than stellar. I will definitely recommend her to all of my friends who will be getting married soon. During all the chaos, I was extremely thankful to have chosen her as our photographer.

Alaura Creative

Chicago, IL
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,900
  • Serves Kankakee, IL

My name is Alaura, and I am a Chicago-based photographer with a love of great art, true stories, and old-school glamour. I believe in romanticizing everyday life for the joy of it. For me, that means fine teacups on a Wednesday, bouquets for no reason, and a home full of antiques. This also translates to my photography style!

Alaura was the BEST photographer we could have asked for! We needed someone who was willing to photograph our somewhat unique one-year wedding anniversary Whirlyball party, as we wanted action shots and portraits with friends. She helped organize our schedule to get the best possible shots outside and inside the event space and we couldn't be happier with the final results! Highly recommend her for any event you're hosting!

We loved all the guidance and direction we were given, but also that we felt like we were able to throw out some ideas as well. It’s nice to feel like you’re working together on something as special as your wedding day. Our wedding day photos felt like a story of the day, he captured every part so perfectly…from laughs, tears, smiles, and dancing.

We were searching for a wedding photographer for our intimate wedding that was planned just three months out. From a recommended photographer on IG I cam across Taylor’s page and fell in love with her style. Taylor from the first outreach was quick to respond, very professional, and detail oriented. She went above and beyond for our wedding day which also fell on her birthday! Her and her mom even agreed to serve as our witnesses.

I'm just a suburban girl who decided to turn her dreams into a reality. I'm all about building relationships and connections. After all, that's what wedding photography is all about. I do this job every weekend because I'm one of those people that is obsessed with pictures. Not just for a living, but for myself. I understand the value in photography. I do this for people who are just like me. For the ones who cherish those photos hanging on the walls. The photos still in that purple glitter album from 2002 of you and your friends in Limited Too. Those memories are all we have from the anchors that built us. Photos are proof that we have lived

Lauryn is the absolute BEST!!! She was the very first vendor we booked for our June 10, 2023, wedding, because I had been following her on Instagram for a bit, and after booking, we never looked back. From the first call, to the engagement photos and to wedding day, she made us feel so comfortable and was responsive and professional. Our engagement shoot was so fun - even my now husband enjoyed it! And now, all our friends and family and my new husband keep raving about how amazing Lauryn is!! She knows what she's doing from beginning to end and ensured everyone on wedding day was comfortable and having fun!! No one felt overwhelmed with "posing" or photos, because it doesn't feel like you're just standing there taking a bunch. Her delivery of our photos was also the fastest in the biz that I have seen and we are OBSESSED with our wedding and engagement photos! I couldn't trust anyone else but her for this huge, special moment in our life. BOOK HER NOW!! I'm so sad the wedding is over, but thankful we have her beautiful photos to look back on and relive the day over and over!!

This is the part where we tell you: ‘we are strictly documentary style photographers’. Or that we only edit a certain way. Or that we only shoot under certain conditions. But we don’t work that way. We believe that a good photographer isn’t just documentary, or editorial, or candid. We believe a good photographer is ALL of those things, and knows how to read a room, an environment, and a moment to know how best to capture it. And that’s what we try to do. Capture every moment, to the best of our ability.

Having Luna Lion Photo Co at our wedding was one of the best wedding decisions we had made. Kayti put in the time to get to know us and make us feel comfortable during our engagement shoot and wedding day shoot. We were nervous for the sessions as we tend to freeze up and become shy in front of a camera, however Kayti made the whole experience so intimate and fun! Our favorite and most memorable part of the wedding ended up being the photo sessions with Kayti! Kayti's vision is out of this world and if we had to pick again, we would choose her a million times again!

I am a caffeine addict who never sleeps. I love a good thunderstorm and playing Candy Crush for the brain breaks. I adore all kinds of dogs, but I have a special love for German Shepherds. My all-time favorite thing is to sit by the fire with a glass of good cabernet or watch the ocean waves hit the beach. I love to garden and to build things (but I let my husband to finish all my projects LOL). I enjoy good food and will likely refer to a stand up comedy routine at least once in a conversation. I am also a football mom, lacrosse mom and basketball mom. Wife to a very understanding husband and emotional support person for my big puppies.

If you're on the hunt for a wedding photographer who not only captures every intricate detail but also brings a sense of ease and joy to your special day, look no further than Silvia Gilbert Photography. From the moment we met her, we knew she was the perfect fit for our wedding, and boy, did she exceed our expectations! Silvia] has an unparalleled knack for capturing the essence of each moment, from the stolen glances between the newlyweds to the delicate lace on the bride's gown. Her attention to detail is simply remarkable; every shot she takes feels like a work of art, meticulously composed and brimming with emotion. But what truly sets Silvia apart is her easy-going personality. Despite the inevitable chaos of a wedding day, she remained calm, cool, and collected, effortlessly putting us at ease and allowing us to fully enjoy the festivities. Her warm demeanor and infectious enthusiasm made the entire experience feel like a breeze, and her presence felt more like that of a dear friend rather than a hired vendor. Not only did Silvia capture all the big moments beautifully, but she also had a remarkable ability to capture the small, fleeting moments that we may have otherwise missed. Looking through our wedding album, we were transported back to that magical day, reliving every laugh, tear, and heartfelt exchange. In short, Silvia Gilbert Photography is a true gem in the world of wedding photography. If you want stunning photos and a stress-free experience, entrust her with your special day—you won't be disappointed.

A Charleston Wedding Photographer with a fierce love for storytelling, fostering memories and capturing those moments that you will want to treasure forever. I get to tell your story. And, I think that’s pretty cool. I love traveling everywhere and anywhere, talking with my hands, buying plants (and attempting to keep them alive), and spending as much time as I can with my loved ones. I have lived in Boston, Paris, and New York City, and am now lucky enough to call Charleston home, while also still traveling the world for my clients. You can usually find me on my back porch in downtown Charleston, right next to my favorite little park.

Jessica is a joy to have a part of any wedding! Her work is beautiful and she captures the love and emotions of her couples' biggest day. From the beginning of the planning process, until the photos arrive in your inbox, she always puts the couples' needs and wants as her priority. Her organization, professionalism, and calming composure are exactly what couples need out of their photographer!

Rachael Marie Photography

Springfield, IL
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,900
  • Serves Kankakee, IL for additional fees

At the end of the day, all we have are the stories told about us and the ones we write about ourselves. I love writing about the musings of life and sharing my thoughts with others in conversation and social media posts. I constantly document my own life so I don't forget the big or little moments. Every time I travel to somewhere new I love connecting with those who cross my path, and yet I equally love coming home to my dog. TLDR: sentimental soul, avid movie goer, mental health advocate, and decent chocolate chip cookie maker.

where do i even begin? we were so blessed to have Rachael with us on our special day. we hired Carissa for our wedding photography & chose to have her bring an extra shooter with & BOOM! we somehow got blessed with Rachael as our bonus. i could go on about everything from her amazing personality, the positivity & happiness absolutely exuding from her at all times, her killer taste in music, the sheer talent that is her photography skills (both behind the camera & assisting in posing with such ease), to the way she somehow makes it feel like an old friend is with you every step of your wedding day (even if it’s the first day you met her), wrapping you in her beautiful scarf to keep you warm between photos & the ceremony because you were shivering, & is even willing to join your friends and family on the dance floor amidst capturing the most amazing memories for you. never did i feel rushed, if anything she helped me keep my cool about my timeline & helped ease so much of my anxiety about it. okay, i know what you’re thinking, “amy this seems like an excessive rant for a wedding photographer.” BUT YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND!! our photography was one part of our wedding we were willing to splurge on, & if i hadn’t decided we absolutely needed a second photographer for the day then i would have never been absolutely blessed with Rachael. not only did she capture so many of our posed moments, but more importantly the candid moments that i was too busy spinning around like a maniac to notice & are now some of my favorite pictures. our photographers are one part of our day that i will FOREVER absolutely rave about to everyone & always recommend to future brides because i want them to be able to experience the same beautiful souls & genuinely perfect encounter i got that day. Rachael is the kind of person you want to reach out to when you’re thinking about future photoshoots, & who makes you want to do photoshoots just for an excuse to get to experience both her presence & her absolute talent again. if you were debating hiring Rachael, PLEASE don’t second guess it. you will NOT be disappointed. (did i mention the photos she delivered are simply out of this freakin’ world?! because OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS!)

They explained the flow that made sense but never pressured me to make decisions I didn’t want to rather giving me more information as they expert opinion. The sneaks they released to us have been phenomenal! The whole bridal party & our family are blown away by everything we have seen! One our friends wants their contact number as he was so impressed!

I have studied fine art photography long before I ever started taking portraits of other people and shooting weddings. Fine art photography was my beginning, creating conceptual and authentic art that spoke to me and told my story was what I started with and then I started blurring that line between fine art and documentary. I started documenting other people and their lives in the same way that I created my own work intended for shows and galleries. That is how I came to the style that I shoot now, still blending the two parts of my life.

I am a fine art wedding photographer and wedding planner, wife, and mother to our three sweet babies! I first fell in love with photography at an early age. I became very inspired watching my father photograph weddings and capturing the authentic joy on his clients best day. It was then that I fell in love with the concept of love and knew what I wanted to do. I went on to film photography in high school and digital photography in college. After college I started a job as a party coordinator. I did this for years. Then, on blind faith started my own journey into the world of photography and wedding planning!
