teri b photography

Springfield, IL
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Streamwood, IL

Hi, I’m Teri! I’m a Chicago based Wedding Photographer. I approach my photography as an artistic craft. I strive to create images that are emotional and striking. My life’s work is photographing people’s most joyous moments—preserving feelings and details that may otherwise be lost. I am obsessed with creating playful compositions, capturing fleeting moments that make the most treasured memories come alive again. The couples I work with place immense trust in me and it is my honor to create art for them.

Teri was amazing, she got amazing posed and candid photos of our day and the turn around time for our pictures was very quick! She was as even able to work with the poor weather we had to get beautiful fog filled pictures and take advantage of the blue cast at sunset! Would highly recommend her to any and everyone!

Jana Blue Photography (Photo + Film)

5.0

Wheaton, IL
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves Streamwood, IL

My name is Jana Blue and I've been photographing weddings for 10 years. I'm consistent not in a trend of photos or style, but emotions. Each wedding and couples are so unique and my work follows that. In my career I've photographed both big production weddings and also intimate DIY ones. I've photographed informal engagements and elopements/weddings in a desert in Chile, in the mountains of Zion, in a beach in Croatia, in an ancient church in Greece and in forests in Brazil. I work with all different budgets and needs from my brides. I'm a preferred vendor of Chicago First Lady Boat, so I do weddings on the boat during the summer.

Awarded Best of Zola
From start to finish, Jana made our wedding day in Chicago feel so special and unique. My partner and I spent 3 hours with Jana, who so graciously accommodated our numerous photo locations across Chicago in such a beautiful way! We felt very taken care of by Jana and her team and cannot recommend her enough. Not only does she listen to her couples, she also provides confidence and mastery which makes you feel like getting your photos taken should be part of your everyday life. Thank you Jana - we will hold on to these photos dearly forever! Maria and De'Sean

Oak Lawn, IL
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,000

I am a bilingual (Polish, English) Chicago based wedding photographer who enjoys traveling and music. I like to take a documentary approach to photography. Keeping posing to a minimum and capturing natural moments of your big day. I am a perfect photographer for a couple that believes the natural moments mean more than posed photographs.

I had the privilege of working with Roman at a wedding a few years ago. I was hired as a DJ and he reached out to me prior to the event to introduce himself. I looked into his work and was astounded by his attention to detail. He really has a knack for capturing the moment in photo

Kate Scott Photography

Chicago, IL
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000

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!

I contacted Kate sometime in November to take photos of my proposal to my then-girlfriend, Morgan. Kate was super easy to work with from the start. She listened to my ideas and gave great input to help me nail down my plan. When the day came, she got the candid photos seamlessly and they turned out great. She was so enthusiastic and happy and it made the shoot a fun time. All of our friends and family love how the final album turned out. I would definitely keep Kate at the top of my list for any future photography needs.

Oh my goodness, where do we even begin with Mariah from King and Opal Photography? Five stars just don't seem like enough to express our gratitude and absolute adoration for this amazing photographer! From the moment we met Mariah, we knew we had struck gold. She's not just a photographer; she's a guardian of our wedding dreams!

So there’s no “I” in team right?! While Captured Couture is the product of years of hard work that I built from the ground up. I have an amazing team because sometimes takes more than just me. For larger events or on occasions when I am already booked one of my team members will gladly assist with your event. We’ve covered hundreds of weddings together, and have refined our editing style and way of shooting to be completely consistent. You won’t be able to tell the difference. Pinky promise! No matter where you’re planning from when it clicks, it clicks.

My husband and I absolutely LOVED working with Jennifer! From our first meeting with her we knew she would be a great photographer! She came to our initial meeting prepared with ideas as well as samples of her work; which made my husband and I feel very comfortable moving forward with her. Her vision and her plan were clear. Jennifer is so professional and her photos really tell a story which is what we were hoping for. From our engagement pictures to our wedding day, Jennifer captured the feelings of the moments rather than just a bunch of posed photos (of course we had some of those too because you have to!). On the big day, Jennifer was very organized yet flexible. The custom timeline she provides for the day is BEYOND helpful and she does a great job at helping you/your group stick to the schedule. She helped to keep things flowing and was able to capture every image/moment we had discussed. I would absolutely recommend Jennifer!

Hello! It is awesome to meet you! I am Wendy, an award winning Chicago wedding photographer. My photo journey started 11 years ago shooting concerts! I fell in love with the art of photography and decided to make a career of photographing weddings. As a photographer who is sensitive to my surroundings, I create images that are intuitive to who you are and the story you tell. I love catching the details you so lovingly design into your wedding day and capturing the big picture of how awesome you, your wedding and guests are.

Awarded Best of Zola
As soon as I came across Wendy’s portfolio, I knew she was the photographer for us. When I looked at the photos of couples she had previously photographed, they all had their own unique style. When we sat down with Wendy for our first meeting, it felt like less of a “meeting”, and more like a conversation with an old friend. Yes, she focused on the details of our big day and what that would look like… but even more she focused on getting to know us as a couple. Our engagement photos turned out so beautiful and true to us, I knew we made the right decision. Throughout our wedding day she was a huge source of comfort and calmness. The time we spent with her that day was fun, relaxing, and memorable. The photos we received were absolutely stunning and we couldn’t be happier. Since we’re not planning on getting married again any time soon (haha!) we’ve found other ways to continue to work with Wendy. I’ve been a bridesmaid in multiple “Wendy weddings” and have also hired her to do maternity and family photos for us. Each of those experiences have been just as wonderful. She’s top notch!

I grew up the kid who was obsessed with all of the Disney princess movies and just in love with the idea of “true love”, which has shown itself in SO many ways in my life. My first true love I found was my camera and photography. I picked up my dad's camera for the first time when I was 8 years old and decided at that moment that it was all I wanted to do. I could show people the way I saw the world and to little 8 year old me, that was the coolest thing EVER. It started off as capturing the things I loved, whether that was animals at the zoo, my friends, or siblings… I was ALWAYS shoving a camera in somebody's face.

Hey there! I’m a weddings and couples photographer based in Chicago, IL with my partner Emily and my rescue dog Daxter. I’m here to document joy and celebrate all the meaningful moments with the kickass people that find me.

Sam is wonderful! Sam was the photographer for our rooftop wedding in Chicago. We had an amazing experience, start to finish. Sam took the time to sit down with us beforehand to discuss the vibe we were going for and any special details for our event. That extra time for us to get to know him was so huge in helping us feel comfortable and relaxed when the time came to get in front of the camera. On the day of our wedding, Sam was awesome with our friends and family—he got every shot that we hoped for and so many more. No joke, TONS of our guests commented to us how fun and friendly he is and we were like, WE KNOW, he's the best! Our photos turned out so, so well. Sam nailed the portraits, he nailed the candids, he nailed the night-time dance floor shots (and it was DARK). He can do it all and he's just a pleasure to work with. I've recommended him to several friends for engagement and wedding photos because I know he'll kill it and give every client 100%. What a guy!

As much as I love taking photos (it's truly my favorite thing in the world!), I believe your wedding is about celebrating all your people being in the same place at the same time + kicking back and enjoying while I make sure all those memories are on camera.

Alana and I connected over Instagram shortly after Nick and I got engaged. Over the course of a year, I fell more in love with her shot style, her colors, and just about everything she posted. She and I messaged, liked, and commented so it was nice having as much of a connection as people can have through Instagram before booking. When we decided to book she helped so much with ideas for outfits, time of day, and locations to shoot as well!! When we scheduled our engagement shoot, it worked perfectly to where she could come to our location while she was in Cinci. Day of the shoot, anything that could have gone wrong, went wrong BUT Alana handled everything with such flexibility and ease. We were able to get shots before and after the torrential downpour that forced us to change locations and WE ARE IN LOVE with the photos. I seriously can’t say enough amazing things about her. She makes us even more excited for our wedding just through looking at our engagement photos and the photos she shares on her blog/website/Instagram. Long story short: book her. She’s your girl for all things wedding ❤️❤️

Hi! I'm John, a wedding photographer based in Chicago, IL. I believe deeply that great wedding photography is about creating imagery that is as visually compelling, as it is emotionally significant. Weaving the images together to tell unforgettable stories. My distinct 'documentary meets fine-art' style is a product of my unrelenting commitment to my craft and the complete trust that my couples place in me. I primarily cover weddings in the Chicagoland area, but I will travel to any destination worldwide for those seeking an adventure.

Kim was an absolute delight to work with. She was very attentive and came with so many ideas on how to make our wedding photos special for us. She came a few days before to check out the church where we would be having our photos done which shows me that she takes her job very serious. Kim is very easy to work with she made it very relaxed and easy to take photos with her. I am someone who doesn’t like attention on me and has social anxiety and she helped me to feel relaxed while taking the photos. She didn’t just take beautiful photos for us but she made the experience fun and memorable for us as well. I would definitely recommend Kim for photos. She also had our photos ready for us earlier than expected. Would definitely work with her again! Thank you Kim for capturing such beautiful photos and helping make our special day a day to remember.

It shows in all his photos. If you want to work with a true professional, who gets down and dirty to get the right shots, Ed’s your guy. 10/10!!

Though every shoot holds something unique, it takes a lot to catch me off guard after nearly 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. Not every event I’m at goes exactly according to plan and I know how to roll with the punches. 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!

He never felt like a “vendor” to me, it felt like just a cool pal with a camera hanging around with us capturing our special day! Zach is such a professional but he makes you feel so comfortable and goes with the flow! Maria was quick to capture small intimate moments between my husband and I and added so much character to our day, I can not thank them enough for being part of our long special day, if you value artistry, genuine connection and professionalism Zach & Maria are the way to go!

The Honeymooners Productions are a husband and wife duo who are determined to live life like they are on their honeymoon! They specialize in both PHOTO AND VIDEO which simplifies you’re planning process and budget. Their energy for life and love makes them PASSIONATE about your wedding experience! Let's get this party started! Email us about your wedding! We would LOVE to hear alllllllll about your day and your love!

Let me start this off by saying at the top of my lungs - WE LOVE LOVE LOVE THE HONEYMOONERS PRODUCTIONS!! Now that I've gotten that off my chest, here are the reasons why we recommend them to the highest extent: As a lesbian couple it was very important for my wife and I to find a photo & video vendor that was LGBTQ+ friendly. When we asked The Maddie and Luke about that, they instantly made us feel comfortable with their answer. Before the (first) wedding date, they were in constant communication with us and made a point to get to know us well before the big day. Then the pandemic hit, and we had to postpone our wedding. We had already paid our deposit to The Honeymooners and several other vendors. Other vendors were not as kind or accommodating to the change, but The Honeymooners stayed in communication with us through the changes and made it easy. Maddie & Luke had stayed in contact with us throughout, checking in periodically. 1 year later, we had to postpone again due to the on-going pandemic and once again Maddie & Luke took it in stride. They never gave us a reason to worry that they would come through for us. FINALLY, we had our big day. As soon as Maddie and Luke got to the venue it all made sense why we liked them so much. They greeted us like old friends. They were warm, kind, organized, and extremely professional. They just went for it at every step. They just never missed a beat. The few times I asked them to capture a photo of this or a video of that, they had already done it before I even thought of it. Even in how they directed us to pose or activities to capture on camera, it was all perfectly us. Not a single moment felt forced. I truly believe that because they took the time to get to know us before the wedding, that is what made everything they did feel so utterly authentic to us a couple. If it sounds like I am obsessed with them, it is 100% because I am. They weren't just the photo & video vendors that we hired for our wedding, they became our friends through this process. We had an absolute blast with them, and we laughed together all day. They literally made our wedding even better, and I believe that if we hadn't had them there it wouldn't have even been as fun as it was. The very next day after the wedding they sent us about 8 photos, already retouched and perfected as previews of our gallery. We were blown away by how they captured us and our love in just these few photos. What is more is they also created a 1 minute preview video that we have watched about 1,000 times already. Everything from the moments they included, to the song they chose was PERFECTION for us. 1 month after the wedding, they sent us our full photo gallery, full wedding video, and individual videos of specific moments. We were floored by the quality of their work. Everything is even better than we ever expected and we are so thankful to have those memories from the best day of our lives. I also have to note that I am in fashion so I have worked with a ton of photographers and videographers in my career - I can say with professional confidence that Maddie & Luke are some of the most talented people behind a camera I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I could go on and on about these two beautiful humans, but to sum it up - there are not strong enough words for how much we recommend The Honeymooners Productions to every couple (especially our LGBTQ+ family who need that kind of love and care). We love you Maddie & Luke!

Hi, I'm Samuel! Chicago based wedding and elopement photographer here to give couples a truly relaxed and down to earth experience. Being photographed shouldn't be uncomfortable or boring!  Telling love stories through photos brings me immense joy. 

We were so grateful to Samuel who was able to document our city hall ceremony on a very last minute request during the end of year holidays. (Are you free next weekend?) We were drawn to the documentary style of his work and thought it was a fitting way to remember a special moment in a basement of Chicago's City Hall. Leading up to the day, we texted and chatted about places to do portraits after and Samuel was very patient and helpful in suggesting places that felt right for me and my partner. Not only did he have the inside scoop on what the city hall ceremony was going to be like and what was going to happen, but he was also great to hang out with in line and and get to know better. We both felt very comfortable working with Samuel and the nerves of working with a professional photographer for the first time went out the window. I can only imagine how amazing the experience would be to work with Samuel with more time to prepare or at locations a little less drab than a city hall basement!

Awarded Best of Zola
1. Kyle is a true professional - A lot of photographers are great at taking photos but bad a business (Project management, sending you reminders, dealing with difficult family members, coordinating with other vendors, etc.). Kyle has a background in business and I can tell. Feels like I would have him on a consulting project. He works on timelines with you. He gives you firm deadlines, good client management skills. 2. Kyle is good at taking photos - Yup, simple but he takes great photos. I won't get into the weeds but he definitely has some dark and moody ones but some with lighter tones. He does your traditional family portraits, fun photos on the dance floor, but he'll mix in some photojournalistic ones and ones you would expect in a magazine. He was quick to edit and send us photos after the wedding. We didn't have to wait too long. 3. Kyle is fun to work with, he's reliable. He made my wife feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the process. That's huge. It's your wedding day and you want to trust someone. Someone like Kyle. 4. He serves as more than a partner throughout the day and months leading up to the wedding than just a photographer. There is a reason he charges a bit more than some other photographers 5. Personality-wise he was a great medium and I liked it. He's not too bold that he takes over the wedding and distracts from your big day, but he's bold enough to tell people what to do and get the right shots he needs. 6. I would recommend him!

I’ve worked multiple events with Jenn and she is always top notch. On top of capturing some stunning photos, she helps keep the wedding party on schedule and is super attentive to the bride and grooms needs. She cares about her art and her ability to tell a couples story and it shows!

Cristina is too wonderful for words! She is an absolute joy to work with and her photos are beyond stunning. Neither my husband nor I have any idea what we’re doing in front of a camera, and Cristina could not have been kinder or more patient with us during both our engagement photos and wedding day. We brought along our dog for our engagement photos, and Cristina never batted an eye during his less-than-cooperative moments. She made the engagement photo session a complete breeze and so much fun from start to finish. Her partner, Constantin, joined for the wedding day, and they made the most incredible photography duo. They captured all the important moments and ensured that we got every last photo we wanted. They also handled corralling everyone for large family photos in an extremely timely and orderly fashion. They’re both so lovely, fun to work with, and take the most incredibly beautiful photos! I could not recommend Cristina (and Constantin!) more highly.

My couples become verrrry dear to my heart, and it gives me the deepest joy to be part of engagement season + wedding days.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we met Allie, we knew something about her was so special. My husband and I first met Allie when we took our engagement photos and after running around and laughing with her, we couldn’t stop talking about how much FUN we had. Any time I’ve spent with Allie or even talking to her have easily become my some of my favorite memories from this special season of life. During the time leading up to the wedding she would occasionally send me sweet voice notes or messages as little reminders of her thinking about me and Cameron and praying for us as we got closer and closer to our wedding day. By the time our wedding rolled around, I genuinely just felt like Cameron and I were hanging out with one of our dearest friends on our wedding day and she just happened to be taking photos of us. Allie has a magical way of capturing moments as if she’s seeing them from your own eyes. Each photo she took feels like I’m seeing my own memories of our beautiful day come to life and that is absolutely priceless. I will always treasure my sweet Allie and these photos that we will cherish our whole lives!

Creating meaningful images is at the heart of being a photojournalist and it's this mentality that I bring to my wedding photography. I work to create timeless images that truly tell the story of one of the most important days of your life.

Peter was recommended to us, by our sister and brother in-law. When we met him, he was so down to earth and easy to work with! He even was able to make my husband smile! He made it easy to feel comfortable in front of the camera, as we chatted about all of our travel adventures! When it came to our wedding date, we had to postpone due to Covid-19. He was so thoughtful and understanding and kept in touch with us throughout this hard time. He was so reachable and always answered my many phone calls and texts! When we decided to get married with a small ceremony in my parents’ backyard, he was there to capture all of the memories! We cannot wait to work with him when it comes time to have our big wedding with all our family and friends, as well as all of our life’s milestones we want to be captured! We continuously get compliments on the pictures he has shot for us! He has an amazing eye for detail! There is no better photographer than him!!!

I made a conscious decision early on in my career that I wanted to LOVE what I do and do what I love. With a bachelor’s degree in graphic design and photography you could say I’m one of the few that stuck with my major and still love it to this day. I’m a helpless romantic, a wife, a mother, a worldwide traveler a marathon runner and a wedding photographer. Deciding who will bring your memories to life is one of your most important ones. When the whirlwind and excitement of the day is over, beautifully captured images will be what help you revisit the romance, emotion and spirit of all of those little moments.

Without a doubt, Christine was our very favorite vendor to work with for our wedding day! We are so happy to have had her as our wedding photographer, and will absolutely be recommending her to all of our newly engaged friends and family members! From the very beginning of our wedding planning process, Christine was SO kind, responsive, flexible, and patient. She spent time getting to know us as a couple, the vision for our wedding day, and what our schedule for the day would look like. She played a huge role in making sure the day ran smoothly and that we had time for all of the photos we wanted. I'm confident in saying that we (myself, my husband, our families, and wedding party) felt calm and comfortable all day because of Christine! Her experience in this industry truly speaks for itself. Most importantly, Christine effortlessly and perfectly captured so many special moments throughout our day - we could not be more grateful! She is an incredibly talented photographer and so much fun to work with. We are completely blown away by the photos that we've received - we cannot stop looking through them, and so many people have been wanting to know who our photographer was. Obviously, we are recommending her to everyone without hesitation. Thank you, Christine, for providing us with the most beautiful wedding photos that we will always cherish!

I've been doing photography since high school years. After seven years working as photo journalist, I worked for 5 years on cruise line industry in the photography department. It was 2000 when I became a wedding photographer and opened our own photography studio.

As an event coordinator I look for vendors who are professional, a great value, and a team player with the other vendors at the event. Doru & Claudia Halip are at the top of that list. They have a real caring for their clients needs, making sure the photographic part of the day goes smoothly, with no drama. Many photographers do phenomenal work, however it is all about them, not the Bride & Groom. Doru & Claudia stay in the background, and their work is amazing. Many of their finished pieces have been magazine worthy, and have been published. You don't have to be a model to have incredible photographic memories of your big day, if you hire H Photography!

Thank you for stopping by and looking through my work. I approach wedding photography with two philosophies: One is to be photo-journalistic. Capturing those unexpected moments, a flirty glance, a secret kiss or a burst of laughter. These are the small details and intimate moments that tell your story. My other philosophy is to be editorial. To direct, compose, and create interesting shots. These are the pictures that will be high-impact, dramatic and creative. Although I have a photo-journalistic approach throughout the day, I understand the importance of formal family pictures. So, be assured we will get all of those as well.

We are a close-knit family of photographers, filmmakers, and designers with a kindred passion for storytelling. Our vision for a collective studio was dreamed up to answer the problem of frustrated brides and grooms waiting ages to see their photos or just get an email back and the problem of artists burned out on business-running because it’s impossible to do it all.

Right after we booked our church and venue, Studio This Is was next on our list because we couldn't imagine having anyone else shoot our wedding. We loved that Nancy and her team could beautifully capture both the major moments of our wedding and those little moments and reactions we might have missed. My husband and I were also drawn to the timelessness of her black & white photography. Studio This Is was one of our easiest and best vendors to work with. Nancy was always willing to work around my husband's unpredictable surgery residency schedule and even had an extra meeting with my parents to ensure that they felt comfortable before the big day. I would also recommend doing an engagement shoot before the wedding; not only do we love the pictures we have from that day, but it also gave us a chance to figure out what poses and locations worked best for us. As a couple who doesn't love taking photos, Nancy and her team made us feel completely comfortable at our engagement shoot and on our big day. Our wedding party and families loved them too! The photos from our wedding came out even more beautifully than we could have ever imagined, and we can't wait to finish putting together our album. I highly recommend Studio This Is and their associated partners (Wholehearted Films and Snapbooth Chicago) to perfectly capture your big day!

Booking Chantal was the best decision I made. She made my husband and I feel so relaxed during both our engagement shoot and wedding. She was just as laid back as we were, but still got things done on time and professionally. Our engagement shoot she helped my husband relax since he was so nervous (not a big photoshoot guy). And during our wedding Chantal and her second shooter Erika made myself and my wedding party and guests feel at ease. I owe them both so much for going ABOVE AND BEYOND on my wedding day. My day of coordinator had really dropped the ball and I was so stressed out, but then I went back into the bridal suite and Chantal and Erika were having a dance party to cheer me up! They really saved the day and were so good about pivoting and adapting to our rain plan. The best part was - I didn't feel like I took pictures ALL day.

He effortlessly blended into the background, allowing us to be ourselves while he worked his magic behind the lens. I cannot recommend Rahul Rana Photography highly enough. If you're looking for a photographer who not only captures moments but also creates lasting memories, look no further. Thank you, Rahul, for preserving the most precious moments of our special day in such a beautiful and heartfelt way.

Hello, I’m Melissa! I’m a wedding & lifestyle photographer with a heart and eye for the genuine, real, and joyful moments! Based in Chicago but let’s be real, I love to travel - so take me with you! :) My heart as a photographer is to document your moments genuinely & always true to color. So that one day you will look back & remember not just what it looked like - but what it FELT like!

Hire Melissa for all of your photography needs, especially if you are particularly camera shy or think you feel awkward in front of the camera. She is simply the BEST and makes you feel super comfortable, makes you laugh, and most importantly, captures the perfect moments. We hired her for our fall engagement session and our winter wedding in January and are in LOVE with every single photo. I find every excuse to post the photos she took. In fact, my entire family loved her so much that my little sister is using her for her wedding in June 2024. Thank you so much for everything, Melissa!

If sarcasm and gifs are your languages of choice you know where to find me. I believe the less we take ourselves too seriously the more bearable life will be. I'm always down for anything in the dessert category and if you ever need a challenger in board games or someone to talk about tv or movies, say no more. It's this light-heartedness that I try to bring into each session with our couples. My promise as a photographer is to capture every couple with intention and care.

Peacemade shot our engagement shoot and our wedding in 2023. We could not have had a better experience with Gail and her team! Looking at their work piqued our interest and our first meeting with Gail locked in our decision. She answered all of our questions, was super responsive with our emails, and made sure we were all on the same page for the actual day of. Her and her team made taking photos and video feel organic and not staged. They were a blast to work with and we’ve recommended them to all of our friends and family. Would definitely book them again for any future shoots or events!

From my first moment as a wedding photographer, I knew I wanted to kick tradition to the curb. I was tried of seeing wedding photography that excluded the communities that I hold closest. I work hard to form a real connection with each of my clients to craft an experience that captures their unique spirit.

100/10 would recommend! Ashley & her partner, Liv, were incredibly easygoing, and downright fun to be around. Ashley took the time to go over how she could capture the moments that were most important to us, our desired aesthetic, and wedding planning timelines/details along the way. During the formal shoots, she guided us in all the right ways, and the organic moments she captured outside of that were thoughtfully executed. She was timely with the edits and the final photo galleries are everything I hoped for (and more). When I say I cannot stop looking at our wedding photos, I’m not exaggerating - they are stellar. We’ve also gotten countless comments from friends and family about how perfectly our wedding day was captured. I was lucky enough to stumble upon the Unabridged Photography website after perusing for wedding photographers in the Chicago area on the Knot; I was struck by how well she captured light, movement and detail (not to mention our mutual love for ABBA discovered in her Bio). I cannot recommend Ashley (and Liv) more highly!

Widlet Photography

Chicago, IL

Since I was 12 years old, I have always loved to photograph my friends and family, that was with Kodak Film but it wasn't as easy as it is now, photography has been my passion since then. I studied Journalism and photography in 2002 at the Institute of LAINSPROCOM and have been shooting weddings and portraits professionally since 2006. I describe my photography as honest, sincere, and intimate. My primary focus is the beauty and raw emotion in each moment. I love the romance of weddings, I approach each event and each session with attention, honesty, and love. I put my heart and soul into my work.

Our experience with Widlet was amazing. He is such a fun photographer to be around. He is very professional and got the eye to catch the perfect shot. In overall we ended with BEAUTIFUL PICTURES. I would recommend him without a doubt.
