β€œNova Photos did an incredible job at capturing our wedding day! Our coordinator made sure to ask for thorough details and asked us many questions to ensure our day came out smooth. Our photographer was Florin and he was amazing!!! Attentive, respectful, honest and personable. He made our experience so easy and we did not worry about capturing every important morning of our day. He posed us in creative ways while also taking traditional shots, made sure we had enough photos with everyone we wanted to take it with (we had a group of friends/family with us), and he made suggestions that we ended up loving as far as location/poses. The quality of the photos is very clear and high quality! We enjoyed the filters and editing that was done as well; it was not overdone.

Digital + Film Wedding Photography Hi! I'm Emma, owner and lead photographer of Emma Mullins Photography. Our goal is simple: to capture your vibe, your people, and your love in a way that looks and feels true to life. We just wrapped our 13th Chicago wedding season, and it's been a whirlwind of all things real and fabulous! Emma Mullins Photography embraces diversity and inclusivity. We are a proud ally of the LGBTQ+ community and happy to serve humans of every background, gender and identity.

Awarded Best of Zola
β€œWe are huge fans of Emma! Here are 5 reasons she should also be your wedding photographer: 1. Emma is incredibly nice and was so generous with wedding organizing wisdom. She helped us feel more confident about the thousands of small details in the entire process, from our first Zoom meeting with her to the engagement photo shoot to the final shots on our wedding day 2. She is incredibly thorough as a communicator. We never had any question about what she needed or what she was doing before, during, or after the ceremony. And she was even very communicative via email with our moms(!) 3. She is so organized but also so creative. She kept our wedding day smooth by planning out all the posed shots needed, and she got all photos back to us in an always impressive timeframe. But she was also always open for a surprising shot or a little experiment. It made her work feel even more personal 4. She was a rock star on our wedding day, if you couldn’t tell. And she was a super fun hang during our engagement photo session, which featured Emma, my wife, and I improvising playful shots during a sudden rain storm(!) 5. Most of all, when she’s taking photos of you, her excitement in that moment fires you up more and makes you feel so comfortable. She makes you feel like your pictures are the best wedding photos ever taken. (But ours were, obviously)”

You may not know it, but you're actually not looking for a wedding photographer. After all, that is just one aspect of what we do! And I'm not a normal wedding vendor... I'm a commissionable artist and consultant to the aesthetics and atmosphere of your day with nearly 20 years of industry experience (including planning my husband and I's wedding).

Awarded Best of Zola
β€œLux Everlasting was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. From the moment we first spoke with Clayton, we were impressed by his kind, professional, and truly relatable personality. The quality of his work is truly stellar- it genuinely was worth every single penny for us. The photos and video footage he captured were absolutely beautiful; literally had me gasping at how perfectly our day was documented. My family loved working with Clayton too, they all complimented how much fun he was and how beautiful our photos were, and that they would find an excuse to hire him for something lol. Clayton also eased a lot of my anxiety with his calm presence, he even talked me through a difficult moment which was unexpected and greatly appreciated. We highly recommend Lux Everlasting for any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience. My husband and I absolutely adore Clayton as a professional, and also as the awesome human being that he is, and hope to be able to work with him again in the future. 10/10 experience all around. I wish I could add more than 6 photos!! I picked these to show the range of his work; candid, editing, posed, group shots, ect.”

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!

β€œZach did a wonderful job at our wedding this past summer at the Garfield Park Conservatory! Zach captured so many candid, tender moments throughout the whole night. He was able to wrangle 30 people for a large family photo with ease. The photos so perfectly show all the love and joy in the room that night. Great photos, great dude!”

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!

β€œAs a same-sex couple, we weren't sure how different vendors would feel about working on our wedding. From the first interaction, Ryan was welcoming and inclusive - how amazing! We had an intricate wedding day with high church, a theater performance, and the traditional dinner/dancing/toasts. Ryan rolled with all the details, capturing each one. Even better? He and his assistant faded into the background ... our guests commented that they never even noticed a photographer being there, never felt blocked or intruded upon. When we got the results, our hundreds-of-photos were chock full of "how did they get THAT shot?" kinds of reactions. Amazing. Ryan's pictures are so fantastic, we would consider getting married a second time, just so we could hire him again.”

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!

β€œWe 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 momentβ€”from the big emotional vows to the smallest, most intimate glancesβ€”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 withβ€”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.

Hello, my name is Nikki, and I am a wedding and family photographer for the sentimental and nostalgic. I have been lucky enough to call this my career for over 12 years. I am driven by a passion for storytelling and documenting your life for you to keep forever. Rooted in the heart of Chicago, IL, I am always ready to pack my bags and travel wherever your story unfolds (frequently travel to CO and WI).

β€œLook no further, Nikki is your gal! I wish I could give her 100000x stars It is so difficult to figure out which photographer is for you just from instagram and websites. But from day one when we met via zoom, Nikki was amazing. I instantly knew she was the perfect match for my husband and I. She is so kind, bubbly, and easy to get along with. Throughout the wedding planning process, if I had any questions about timeline, photo locations, etc. she would respond promptly and would be more than willing to help out. My husband and I are not so natural in front of the camera, but she made us feel that way!!! We did not want to spend hours taking couples portraits because we wanted to spend time with all of our guests. She captured some unbelievably beautiful portraits and candids without us feeling awkward in front of the camera. Nikki took the reigns for the weekend along with our wedding planner and made sure everything ran smoothly. She got along with our families and our families could not stop talking about how great she was. Lastly, I was SHOOK how fast she was able to get sneak peeks to us!!!! Literally the next day after our wedding, edited and everything. We just got our full album back and I could not be happier wow!!!! We have literally thousands of photos, our day was captured so perfectly. I will never use any other photographer. Nikki is nothing short of amazing! You will not be disappointed.

β€œChelsea was a dream to work with! From our first meeting, it was clear we were in good hands. She strikes the perfect balance of creative eye and meticulous planner, making sure we had a clear plan going into the day while staying flexible should things go awry. Case in point: when we met for our engagement shoot, it stormed, but we were able to tuck away in a cafe to chat and still capture beautiful photos once the rain passed! As two very camera-shy people, it was really important to find a photographer who made us feel comfortable, and Chelsea was exactly that. You spend as much (if not more) time with your photographer on wedding day as anyone else, and we could not have picked a more perfect person to invite into ours. On the actual day, she made everything feel effortless. Our motto for the day was β€œIn Chelsea we trust,” and we couldn’t have put our faith in a better person. She made a big day feel relaxed and fun -- even when taking photos in the middle of downtown traffic! Throughout the day, she took the extra time to arrange things just so, and the love and care shine through in our photos. If you're thinking about hiring Chelsea: do it.

Six years of taking bright, colorful, fun wedding photos in the city has taught me how to deliver a complete gallery of your day told in an artistic, meaningful, and unobtrusive way--because I'm here to document your day, not to direct it.

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 couplesβ€”photos that will live on as part of their legacy.

β€œThere is nothing more anxiety-producing than choosing which photographer to document your event and my partner and I couldn't be happier with Megan. She has a great eye for detail and composition resulting in beautiful, professional, flattering(!), and intimate photos. She's highly conscious that she is creating memories and her photographs reflect her thoughtfulness. She captures the smallest details and interactions while still managing to get the "big picture" too. Megan listens to all concerns -however big or small- while making the process smooth, fun, and as low-stress as possible. She is extremely fair when it comes to price and you receive far more than you are paying for! I highly recommend her services. Photographers are like physicians, they need to be able to put you at ease while being both personable and professional and Megan Saul fits the bill. Our happy event was in early January of 2020. Check her out!”

Hi! I'm so glad you're here. I'm a Chicago-based wedding photographer here to help you tell your love story. Through humor, support and documentary storytelling I'm there to capture your day in an authentic way that reflects who you both are, how you love, and how your community shows up for you. Stylistically, I consider myself a docu-storyteller with a flair for art-forward portraits. With a background in film and digital, I like to incorporate the classic, the dramatic and the real.

β€œLayne shot our engagement photos and to say that working with her is a dream is an understatement. I do not feel comfortable in front of a camera nor does my fiancΓ©. But not only did she make us feel comfortable, she made it feel fun, warm, and most importantly enjoyable. She understood my vision for the photos, but she also used her understanding of light, scenery, and chemistry to create the most beautiful photos that I’ll cherish forever. Book her before she books up!”

β€œRoman Lorek Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, they were great communicators - open, honest, and responsive to all of our questions and requests. Their work is truly high quality, with an artistic and beautiful style that captured all the special moments of our day. They went above and beyond, making thoughtful suggestions and recommendations that helped make our wedding day even more perfect. Roman and Anastasia were friendly, professional, and made the entire photography experience easy and stress-free. They also did a "family" engagement shoot ahead of our wedding, which was the most fun I had ever had taking photos. Could not have been a better experience all-around! We would highly recommend Roman Lorek Photography to any couple looking for a talented and dedicated wedding photography team.”

We aren't your typical wedding photographers and videographers. And our kick ass couples aren't your typical brides and grooms. We are storytellers, and we capture moments made by people who are madly in love.

β€œWhere do I begin?... Ed & Aileen are freaking INCREDIBLE! To start, they are both amazing humans -- so sweet, fun and easy to work with. My husband and I never had a professional shoot taken before, so we were a little nervous before taking our engagement photos. Aileen made it so fun, by the end we forgot there were tons of people staring at us! My favorite thing about Ed & Aileen Photography is their knack for candid shots. They are all about the fun and just being yourself. This is what sold us on them, the second we saw their photos we knew we HAD to work with them. Planning anything with them was super simple and easy. No waiting around for days or weeks at a time to get a response. They were by far our favorite vendors. So much so that 2 of my friends are using them for their weddings next year! USE ED & AILEEN PHOTOGRAPHY, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! They are modern day photography super heroes! We love you guys!! Thank you so much for capturing our big day. We are so incredibly grateful to have these amazing photos and videos to look back on for the rest of our lives <3”

  • Starts at $5,600
  • Serves Skokie, IL

Chicago-based wedding and elopement photographer. I like to make my clients take off their shoes or at least get bare and honest about their love in front of my camera. I love to explore the urban environment with you and make your wedding portraits feel real and true to your life in the city. But I also take any chance I get to drag you to the woods or the beach for some barefoot wedding portraits. Aren’t we so lucky to have those right here in the city!

β€œEssi Photography was an absolute joy to work with on our wedding day. From our first interaction, her communication was intimate, responsive, and understanding of our vision. The quality of her work was creative in the way she could capture small moments throughout the day. Our photos are everything we wanted them to be, documenting all the special moments and candid photos of our loved ones that we will cherish forever. Essi played a huge role in making our wedding day so special, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.”

β€œkiki knew exactly what to do to make everything go smoothly and time efficiently. having never been involved in a wedding myself, I had a plan that needed very much feedback. Since kiki has tons of experience in weddings, she knew exactly how to schedule all the photo shoots while still allowing us to have fun and enjoy the reception with all the guests. Also, she was very kind and friendly with all the guests. Toward the end when we told kiki we were statisfied with all the photos and the work was done, we had her dance with some of us since we were all having such a good time. Thanks Kiki for everything. God bless.”
