Connie was amazing! We can't stop raving about her. She was so easy to work with. What started off as an elopement at the park turned into a micro wedding before we knew it. Connie made it so easy to work with us on our date and the last minute changes of shooting a micro wedding. She helped create a vision board for specific shots we wanted for the day of. I really don't like taking photos because I feel awkward, but Connie was able to give me direction on how to hold my bouquet and different angles. The best part, she was able to capture candid photos of our son throughout the ceremony. Her turnaround time along with the teasers came in a very timely manner and there was clear communication throughout the process of working with her. I would highly recommend Latek Photography and will use her again!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Our wedding photos are pure magic! Thank you Love Knot for everything you did to help us have a fantastic wedding day and create these fantastic wedding photographs! The wedding album you created was the perfect way to share our love story. My mom called me the moment we shared our album with her and she was literally crying tears of joy. I'm so glad to have these incredible pictures and memories.

Awarded Best of Zola
2020 was a difficult year for many reasons, but weddings were especially tough to make happen in this calendar year. But what made it even more difficult was having to plan 2 different weddings. The first being a 10 month planned wedding in Joshua Tree, California, until we had to cancel it due to COVID in November a month before it was supposed to happen. My now husband and I scrambled to reset for a smaller ceremony in Illinois instead to allow at least his family to attend and have it at his sister's home in Huntley, IL. We only had one month to reset. One of the most important things for us was photography, and although we had spent most of our savings on the cancelled wedding and we had no hope in recovering most of that back or even soon enough to help with the 2nd wedding, we knew we had to put forth the money and make the right choice for a photographer to document our day as best as possible so that our love ones who couldn't make it could experience that day through the right lens. Justin Vaughn of JVaughn Photography LLC was the right lens and so much more! He worked very closely with us via online google meetings, with a minor setback, which was we couldn't have an in person engagement photo session with him (since we were based in Wyoming and wouldn't arrive in Illinois until closer to the ceremony). Justin prefers to complete an engagement photo session, which comes already included in a lot of his packages, before the wedding to get to know us as a couple and make sure we get the shots we prefer. However even without the engagement session, through our online meetings, we were able to discuss who we are and Justin had that personal touch as though we were talking to an old friend. We established the narrative and story telling that we hoped to have for the day. Justin took detailed notes and had a list of shots to take for the day. But his improvisation and artistic eye was also excellent and he captured moments that we had never thought of that were so beautiful and amazing. In addition to the photography he also did minor videography to provide us a highlight reel, which was beyond what we expected! Throughout the day he was also very much a ninja in capturing the right moments beautifully without obstructing the views of guests present. I would recommend him for any photography need, he truly is an artist that captures the moments you wanted and so much more!

Hi! I'm Kayla - a traveling Milwaukee wedding photographer - and I'm going to make you cry. Wait, what? Don't worry, not in a bad way. Most of my couples say they cry when receiving their wedding photos from me for the first time. Five, ten, fifty years down the road when you open your wedding album, bet I'll get you again. You'll still be surrounded by your loved ones - remembering the happy tears and laughing until your belly hurts - just as you did on your wedding day.

Kayla is fantastic! The amount of preparation and attention to detail that goes into planning a wedding is tough. However, Kayla made the photography piece so easy- I never worried about whether I made the right decision on a photographer. From engagement photos to wedding day-Her resources she provided are so helpful in planning out the wedding day timeline start to finish and made us feel prepared. Along with her overall support leading up to the day- I felt like her approach was so individualized for us as a couple. Not only did she honor our requested highlights for the day, she offered an extra little preview/short collection of phone videos to show my mom- who unexpectedly wasn’t able to attend our wedding due to hospitalization. Now, this could very well be a norm of Kayla’s but it felt so personalized and special- I would have never known otherwise. They say you get what you pay for, but I think Kayla is a steal. There are so many good shots to choose from in our gallery and we have gotten SO many compliments on our photos and Kayla- highly recommend!

Having refined our Luxury Editorial Image over the years!

Britney was helpful in several ways, I couldn’t imagine my wedding day without her! She over delivered! The end results are amazing, literally could not have found a better photographer and group to be there to capture my wedding day. Highly recommend talking with Britney.

Our favorite people to work with believe in giving back to their communities, that black lives always matter, that climate change is you know...real, and choose to embrace their own unique quirks and talents.

Awarded Best of Zola
When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

I have been shooting professionally for nearly ten years throughout Indiana--though I am very eager to travel with my camera! I bring a creative, moody vibe to my photographs that aim to tell your story in it's own unique beauty. I love helping tell & creating stories, and have held various day jobs from newspaper reporter to behavioral therapist. I know that my job touches almost as heavily in service as it does in the arts, and utilize all of my qualities to work with all of your vendors so that YOU have the best day possible!

Kelly is a dream photographer for a planner like me. After meeting at a bridal show, she approached me to help her get a styled shoot idea she had for years executed and it was such a dream and honor to be asked. Kelly is very easy to communicate with while knowing just when to (kindly and graciously) take charge and run the show to let her work shine through. She presented her ideas clearly with flexibility to let my style and touch shine through. I am positive she would be any couples dream to work with on their big day. Cannot recommend her enough!!

I document love for a living, and what drives me is capturing authenticity in the moments that I am privileged to become a part of with my clients. I've been photographing weddings for over a decade. I know how to make you look good, and how to take away the "overwhelmed" fake vibe most couples feel and replace it with meaningful photos in 1/250 of a second.

Kay was referred to me by two different brides. I had seen their wedding pictures posted and reached out immediately. The turnaround time for receiving our photos took TWO WEEKS. I know brides that didn’t get their photos back for months. It was so special to be able to see them so quickly after our wedding. Especially considering the exceptional quality and attention to detail in each image. The final edits were flawless, and the photographer managed to enhance the natural beauty. I got every single photo I had put on my shot-list. But what stood out most was when we noticed that we didn’t get a picture of my parents alone and I asked her if we ever took one. She offered to photoshop a picture of them together and the final result was unbelievable. You would have never known they were not standing next to each other. My parents could not be happier with it. I wholeheartedly recommend Kay to anyone in need of capturing their special day. Their talent, professionalism, and commitment to delivering outstanding results make them a top choice. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

This team is just incredible. I came in late in the game, no idea what I was doing, just looking for someone to take a couple photos to prove my wedding happened. My budget made me nervous, as a lot of photographers charge a lot more than I could afford (which is totally fair, that’s on my budget, not their prices). MSMP met me with so much kindness, support, and flexibility, and the photos are better than I ever could have dreamed!! My wedding photos went from the biggest source of anxiety to an absolute treasure, I’m so eternally grateful!

From the initial consultation to the final delivery of photos, Lucia demonstrated a level of professionalism and skill that truly exceeded our expectations.

Hey!! Congratulations and I'm so excited you're here! My name's Lissa (pronounced "Lyss-uh") and photographs are my jam! Also my jam? Bright colors, the lamest jokes, floral everything, weird history, and awesome ghost stories. I'm a total mother hen / perpetual big sister and I'm mom to Max, Henry, and Penelope. I love creating. I garden. I sew. I crochet. I design ridiculously cute tee shirts. But most of all? I freaking love creating photographs. A professional photographer since 2011 (eek!), my photographs are bright, happy, and totally meant to hit you in the feels. But most of all? They're a total party!

It was such a pleasure having Lissa as the photographer for our wedding. She has taken several photos for me and my family throughout the years, and each time the photos have always been exactly what we wanted. Her photos are vibrant, full of color, and full of feeling. Lissa was sure to respond quickly to contracts, questions, and provided information in a timely manner. She listened to our desires and concerns, and when needed she provided feedback that helped us feel more comfortable and excited to work with her. She is incredibly easy to work with her. She was flexible with any photo requests that came up in the moment, and she guided and directed us for other shots she felt would turn out well when we weren't sure what to do next. She was professional and courteous to all of our wedding guests and yet always made sure to prioritize our (the bride and groom) desires and time as opposed to the rest of our wedding party. She had a happy, yet focused disposition while working with us. That focus was evident in the BEAUTIFUL pictures she took. She perfectly captured our joy that day. Turnaround time was better than expected, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We have no regrets with our choice of wedding photographer. She's amazing!

Hi there! We’re Tracey-Ann and Martin, wife and husband photography team, and we’re ready to capture the fun and romance of your wedding day. We’ve been documenting love stories for 14+ years (and happily married even longer!) and, along with beautiful photos, our intention is to infuse your day with pure joy! Partners in life and business, we use our synchronicity to document your day and to capture those special candid moments that make your wedding unique.

I absolutely love collaborating with Tracey and Martin for my weddings and my personal blog. I always recommend them to my clients. Besides taking stunning photographs which is evident in their portfolio, they are two of the nicest people you can be blessed to know. Most people do not feel comfortable in front of the camera and both Tracey and Martin have a very special gift of making their clients feel so naturally comfortable and their clients are then able to let loose and the final result is beautiful memorable moments captured on film. It truly has been a pleasure to have them as fellow industry peers.

With a background deeply rooted in the restaurant and event industry, I honed my skills in hospitality. My passion to be the 'hostess with the mostess' has transferred well into the photography industry by making sure that my clients trust me with telling their story. I have a lifestyle and photojournalistic approach, with a creative flare for some editorial looks. I make sure that any outcome is organic. I capture important details and create everlasting moments through photography and videography.

We couldn’t of picked a better photographer! From our engagement photos to our wedding she has been so sweet, funny and knowledgeable. My husband and I aren’t super photogenic and she makes us feel so comfortable and poses us so well! She comes prepared and makes sure to ask if there’s a certain photo we want, if we’re comfortable etc. For sure our photographer for our life events!
