Sound Originals did an excellent job. Very communicative, and I got my photos back really quickly. The photographers they sent to my wedding were professional and experienced. Very pleasant interactions with Sound Originals staff. NOTE to all brides: I highly recommend taking the company up on their offer to have you meet with the photographer beforehand. I didn’t do this and regret it. Thank you Sound Originals!

I had the absolute best experience during my maternity shoot! Even though I was sooo pregnant, he made me feel completely comfortable from the moment we started. He’s incredibly friendly, patient, and has a way of making you feel relaxed and confident in front of the camera. The photos came out so beautifully and so naturally — nothing felt forced or overly posed. He truly captured my natural beauty in a way that brought tears to my eyes when I saw the final images. You can tell he has a genuine talent for seeing people as they are and bringing out the best in every shot. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Highly, highly recommend!

With 18 years of experience and over 500 weddings captured, I bring a calm and creative approach to every celebration. My goal is to help couples feel relaxed and truly enjoy their day while I document real, emotional moments and timeless portraits that tell their story naturally. I’m happily married to my high school sweetheart, and we have two amazing kids and a dog who keep life full of joy. I treat every wedding as if it were my own — creating images that will be cherished for generations.

Petar did an incredible job capturing our wedding day! He was so easy to work with and made the whole process feel effortless. Communication before the wedding was amazing — he was always quick to respond, super helpful, and even helped us create our timeline, which made the day run so smoothly. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful and truly captured the emotion and joy of the day. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend him to any couple looking for a talented and caring photographer!

I’m Anna, it’s so nice to meet you! I run a boutique family-owned photography studio in Schaumburg. I am a wife. A mommy. A latte enjoyer. A farmers market enthusiast and avid gardener. Most importantly, I am enchanted by life, love, and its tiny beautiful moments. I would be very honored and excited to document your spirit and all the chapters that come together to bind your story together!

Words cannot express enough how lucky we felt to have Anna as our wedding photographer! Not only she felt like a true friend before, during, and after the big day, but also she created photos that we immediately printed in the largest possible size to proudly display on our new home walls. Love her creativity, sense of humor, and making us feel so relaxed (we are not camera people ;)) She helped with the wedding planning process too! What also stands out is her style - we didn't want the photos that have muted or too bright colors, so her lively style was exactly what we were looking for. I have never felt so beautiful as she made us all look, and everyone is raving about our photos :) Best wedding decision! Don't wait too long, book her now!!!

We could not have been happier with the services and product we received! We picked Nora as our photographer as it seemed like she was great at using natural lighting and did a good job with capturing photos that weren’t posed. We were not disappointed! Nora made the process as easy as humanly possible and very comfortable. She was able to read us easily and could tell when the group was getting restless and even could tell if I wanted certain photos without me saying. Nora was the only photographer but managed to capture all the photos we could have hoped for. The ceremony photos were beautiful but the reception photos perfectly captured the night. The quality of the photos when we got them was spectacular. Additionally, the entirety of the photos were sent to us within just over 4 weeks despite the fact that they had 8 weeks. Lastly, we booked the DJ through essence as well (spinning’ discs) and Nora and the dj worked together great which made it that much easier. If you’re considering essence, do it - you will not regret!

I'm a type A planner with a type B laid back personality. Coffee & donuts are my love language. I'm sentimental and nostalgic of familiar memories, but love the adventure of exploring new places. If there's a word that I hope would describe me, it'd be genuine. I hope that seeps through everything that I do, and every image that I capture.

From the first moment we spoke with Melissa, we knew she was the right photographer for our wedding. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and our vision for our entire wedding to make sure she captured our special day perfectly. She handled my stress as the bride leading up to and on the day wonderfully by reassuring all was well. She made sure each special moment I relayed to her were pictured. She is the absolute best!

Awarded Best of Zola
George Street answered my wedding day prayers! As a NYC bride I instantly got sticker shock with the starting prices of NY based wedding photography (that didn’t even include videography). I searched high and low for something more affordable, however I wasn’t willing to sacrifice quality as wedding photography was a top priority for the big day. My dreams came true when I found George Street as they had reasonable prices and a wide variety of local talent. George Street let me view the portfolios of several photographers, they all had stunning photojournalistic style photos. We ultimately selected our photographer who ended up taking the most gorgeous and sentimental photos. Our album is stunning and George Street finished editing the photos so much faster than quoted. The videography team was also extremely professional and talented. We managed to get a social teaser, highlight reel, and full length feature video from George Street. We cherish all moments captured by George Street! Our entire team was easy to work with. Our wedding was on a military base which required some extra documentation and George Street came through with ease. We are extremely appreciative of George Street’s services and cannot recommend them highly enough especially to fellow NYC brides and grooms!

Pedro was awesome! We were looking for a local (in Chicago) photographer, and found the perfect one. He was super easy to work with, and took amazing pictures. Our initial meeting was via Zoom, which made working it around our schedule super easy. He was extremely responsive to all of my emails, and even was workable with our budget and what we wanted to accomplish with photography. I love his ability to take un-staged, in the moment photos as well as great family photos. He went above and beyond for us, and we are grateful for so many amazing photos to choose from.

Audrey went above and beyond for our wedding, and I couldn't ask for a better photographer!! She made us both feel very comfortable in front of the camera, but that started well before the day, by meeting in person to discuss our priorities, joining a venue walkthrough, and creating a timeline for us. We had a mostly DIY friend set up wedding so all her experience and advice was greatly appreciated--I even heard she helped light tea candles when my friends were in a pinch. AND the photos are STUNNING, but what truly made the experience special was how much Audrey got to know us, and we recommend her 100000%

A cinematic eye. --- A bleeding heart. --- An inclusive spirit. --- I've picked up a camera just about every day since I fell in love with photography in 2013. Though every shoot holds something unique, it takes a lot to catch me off guard after a decade in business. I pride myself on my ability to quickly connect with my clients, making them feel comfortable, cared for, and confident that they look great. Being a helpful and calming presence in the midst of your wedding is second nature to me. Basically, I try to treat people how I want to be treated: with fairness and understanding!

Awarded Best of Zola
Zach is an incredible artist and I am so glad we hired him as our photographer for both engagement and wedding photos. I am not very comfortable being photographed, and was wary of ending up with a lot of awkward smiles, but Zach is a kind, funny person who will help you open up, laugh and let your natural smile out. His interests beyond the camera—music, film, etc.—have influenced his style, capturing the feeling of incredible moments with a cinematic quality. His photos captured the cozy and moody, yet crisp and bright November day of our wedding perfectly, and I know I will enjoy looking at them, and finding new favorites for years to come. We highly recommend Zach, and would certainly hire him again!

I've been documenting weddings for 15 years! Your wedding will have so man quick and candid moments, and that's what I'm there for. The spontaneity. The honesty. The "beautiful" vs the "pretty". Hearing things like "Wow, we didn't even know that happened!" or "This is the best picture of my Grandpa I've ever seen," is what keeps me fired up year after year! I believe everyone deserves to feel welcomed, honored, and free to express their love for each other. I proudly support and celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community along with all cultural backgrounds and traditions!

We worked with Ryan for our engagement photos and wedding photos. He’s was super easy to work with and really took time to get to know us as a couple, which really comes across in all of our photos. Ryan helped us to come out of our shell for our photos while letting our unique vibe as a couple still come across.

My name is Kate Scott Daly, and I can't wait to meet you! I'm a Chicago native and have been a professional photographer for nearly a decade. I am obsessed with capturing the perfect moment that will make you gasp and say "Oh my god, this is amazing!" Being a queer woman, it is so important to me that you feel safe, loved, and beautiful every step of the way. If you're looking for someone you can relax with and just be yourself, you've found me! Let's face it: it can be awkward being in front of a camera. Even I feel nervous sometimes! I understand that anxiety and will do everything I can to make you feel fabulous!

We cannot recommend Kate enough! From the moment we met her, she made us feel completely comfortable and celebrated our love with so much enthusiasm. As a queer couple, it was important for us to work with someone who not only respected but truly celebrated queer weddings, and Kate went above and beyond. She took the time to help us clarify our vision for our wedding photos, which was especially helpful since we only had 6 weeks to plan our wedding and felt a little overwhelmed by the process. She was a great guide and we immediately knew we were in good hands! Kate’s associate Ryan shot the photos on our wedding day and they captured every special moment—from the big emotional vows to the smallest, most intimate glances—with such artistry and care. The photos are breathtaking, full of life, and truly reflect the joy of our day. Right when Ryan arrived, they jumped in with capturing photos of small details and worked to capture everything we wanted for our special day. Kate and Ryan were both an absolute delight to work with—professional, fun, and incredibly talented. If you're looking for a photographer who will make you feel seen, respected, and celebrated while delivering stunning photos, look no further. We are beyond grateful for Kate and Ryan and will cherish these photos forever! Thank you for making our wedding memories so magical!

Ashley is so perceptive and talented! I told her a little bit about us and our style and she created the right balance between moodiness and fun that we wanted. She always got back to us just under 24 hours and answered every question that we had. She is dedicated to her clients and their needs. I enjoyed being in her company because she made us feel comfortable. She understood our needs and never pressured us to do anything out of our comfort zone. We are a more laid back, care-free couple, so we gave Ashley lots of space to experiment and it definitely paid off. If nothing else has convinced you, we have already booked our 1 year anniversary photos with her and I will continue to go back to her for any event that should be photographed.

Spoiler alert: I didn't grow up daydreaming about weddings. Instead, I grew up on shaky home videos and weathered family albums—so I know how important it is to keep memories alive. The problem? The internet is overflowing with photos that focus on trends over authenticity. That's why, in a world filled with filters + fads, I'm here to capture every real moment of your wedding day.

Nikki's ability to capture a series of amazing moments that tell a story and turn it into a product that will be cherished for generations to come is truly magical.

Photography has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. What started as a childhood passion grew into a lifelong pursuit of storytelling through images. I’m based in both Union, Illinois, and Florida, which allows me to capture weddings in a variety of beautiful settings. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m gardening, traveling, or spending time with my partner, Kenny, and our three pets. My work has been featured in many publications, but what truly drives me is creating honest, meaningful imagery for my couples—photos that will live on as part of their legacy.

Megan helped make our incredible wedding day -- the happiest day of our lives -- something we can cherish forever. Her photography not only captured the day's spirit but also all the sudden instances that now help us recall how emotional it was. Her attention to detail and her eye for angles, lighting, and composition are uncanny. We'll look at these photos for years and will forever be thankful to Megan for putting her heart and soul into everything she does, including our wedding. On top of all that, she is absolutely pro: she takes pride in her work and delivers only the best product and service. I could not recommend her any higher.
