I work with clients who highly value photographs of real moments. My goal is to document how your wedding day felt, not only how it looked. My approach is photojournalistic. I work quietly and attentively, and always with a smile. I feel my job is to be a “love reflector.” On your wedding day I am surrounded by immense love and happy hearts, and it is my job to reflect it all back in pictures. I focus on capturing emotion and relationships, and I deliver images that encapsulate all the feelings and fun of your day.

I come from an artistic background that has followed me pretty much my whole life. I take this work to heart because it's important to me to make something great and different out of this medium we call photography. One of the best perks of this career is the people I meet along the way that makes even more enjoyable. It's different reward when people appreciate what you do.

Monika Thorpe Photography
Hoffman Estates, IL
  • Classic style

We live in such a fast paced world, so it is delightfully liberating when I get to slow things down a bit frame by frame. But before I do, here are some things to know about me. I am suburban lifestyle and portrait photographer, weather enthusiast; married to a wonderful husband and mother to two precious little boys. Yes, I now know what it feels like to have your own kids cooperate for photos. It sometimes takes a village. But I must say I have gotten mighty good at it. So don’t fret. It is possible! Since 2010, I’ve been behind the lens capturing whatever comes my way. This includes all of your smiling faces. My artistic style is full of color and fun. Not airy, not moody, just FUN! You’ll be laughing throughout your photo session. With me, with each other but mostly at me! I love making people laugh.

    I attended Columbia College in Chicago and have a BA in Photography. After graduation, I was asked by a friend if I would photograph her wedding and from that day forward I was hooked on the magic of wedding photography. It is an honor when a couple chooses LMP to capture those memories for them, as I understand that there are a lot of options out there. Over the years I have built such a great relationship with my couples, that many of them come back for portraits as they start their family.

    I am a Chicago-based wedding photographer who loves my clients. I love telling their stories with my images. When my clients look back on their wedding images, I want them to remember how it felt to be there. I want them to have beautiful images of moments they may have missed– a tear quickly swept away, a big laugh, a quick but meaningful glance. While I love classic poses and unique composition, my favorite photographs always end up being the moments that happen naturally.

    Bee Brook Photography
    Leslie, MO
    • Photojournalistic style

    If you need a reminder to stop trying to appease your forever disapproving great-aunt Barbara and DO YOU, you've come to the right place. As an elder emo, I know what it's like to feel like you don't quite fit the mold. When I first became a photographer, I felt like I had to put on a different persona to appeal to clients, but after I had two black-dress-wearing brides book me on the same day, I saw an opportunity to connect and serve people I identified closely with, and who I hoped would identify with me and my style. After all, what nonconformist wants a cookie-cutter photographer?

    It’s not unusual to find me spending hours editing and creating after a photoshoot. I have the rare opportunity in life to do what I love and create images that people will cherish for generations to come! Photojournalism and documentary wedding photography is my favorite style and the majority of images I capture fall into this category. A good wedding photographer will anticipate the important moments of the day and capture them as they happen, instead of staging and directing the day's events.

    I'm a storyteller, creator, and adventurer. I've traveled the world and don't plan on stopping now. Humans, vintage black t-shirts, walking instead of driving, dancing in parking lots, the feeling of arriving, and words are some of my favourite things. Speaking of words... Why "estorie" (est'-or-ee)? I strive to live and to tell honest stories, ones of struggle and hope and joy. "Story" comes from the Anglo-French word "estorie." The world itself has a story and I like that.

I was raised in a small town an hour west of Chicago and I grew up in a rather large family of six boys and only one sister! It's shocking I turned out as “girlie” as I am.
