Photography By Jill Emmer 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,900
  • Serves Albany, IL

I’m Jill — a Wisconsin wedding photographer with over 13 years of experience and a serious love for honest, emotional moments. I’m drawn to real connection, great light, and the kind of photos that feel alive, not overly posed or polished.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who is responsive, kind, and truly talented, I can’t recommend Jill enough! From the very beginning, she made us feel completely comfortable and at ease — something that meant a lot to me as someone who was nervous about being in front of the camera. Jill was incredibly responsive throughout the entire process, patiently answering all our questions and helping us figure out the perfect photo timeline for the day. On the wedding day itself, she brought such a calm and confident energy that helped everything flow naturally. What really stood out was how seamlessly she captured all those beautiful, candid moments — the laughter, the quiet glances, the small interactions that make the day so special. I was initially worried about the “posed” photos feeling stiff, but Jill made them fun and relaxed — and most of our favorite shots ended up being unposed, authentic moments that she somehow caught perfectly. Even my father, who is notoriously particular and has been a wedding photographer himself for decades, had nothing but praise for her — he actually complimented her photography style (which never happens!). Our photos are absolutely stunning — timeless, full of emotion, and beautifully composed. Jill has an incredible eye for detail and light, and she truly knows how to tell the story of the day through her images. We feel so lucky to have found her and will cherish these photos forever. Sorry I can't upload my photos for some reason but they are stunning!

Meg Dunn Photography

  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Albany, IL

Timeless | Romantic | Classic Wedding photographer - I believe in the idea that "great photos are created from personal connection." I put my heart and soul into making sure the couples I work with have the best possible experience and end up with images that we can both be proud of. My favorite part of taking photos is being able to find the special moments within your big milestones. It's those candid times, along with the significance of the occasion, that come together to create your favorite memories and it's my job to capture those through my visual storytelling.

Meg is a dream and truly one of the best around. She was recommended to me by a friend and I have zero regrets. She is funny, understanding, and a total professional. Our engagement photos and wedding photos turned out incredible. Can't recommend her enough!

I'm Courtney! I care not only about providing you with sharp, authentic and colorful images on your wedding day, but helping you to be fully present on your wedding day so you remember all the big and little moments.

Courtney was AMAZING! I found Expedition Joy on instagram when she was doing a giveaway contest for a free Engagement session. To our suprise and BIGGEST BLESSING— we won! When my husband and I met Courtney, we instantly clicked! She was so easy to talk to and made us feel so comfortable so quickly! She was very intentional about building trust with her and having a friendship as well! We had great conversations during our shoot and got to learn about her aswell! After our session, my husband and I both agreed that we NEEDED Courtney to be a part of our big day. We expressed our excitement with Courtney just as much as she expressed hers with us! During the planning months, she was so easy to reach and made us feel confident that she would go above and beyond for us on our special day and she DID. Courtney showed up camera in hand and started shooting the second she walked in the door! She was ON IT. She continued to encourage the bridal party and family so they felt comfortable as she was taking photos. She was so intentional with everyone! Courtney and her second shooter were the life of the party on the dance floor! They had a blast with us and it was so much fun for all of our guests to cheer them on when they went to bust a move in the center circle! Courtney continued her 5-star reputation throughout the night and even went above and beyond to stay past our contracted time for our grand exit! She took the most memorable photos of our day, we will always remeber her when we reminisce on our beautiful photos! She truly is Expedition Joy

My name is Elliot Stokes and I am a photographer located in the Madison, WI area, but I work all across Wisconsin and Illinois. I have been drawn to the camera since I was young, but becoming a father has really shown me the magic behind capturing the most candid and beautiful moments of our lives. I started my journey into professional photography officially in the summer of 2019 and received my Bachelors of Fine Arts degree with honors in Digital Photography in the spring of 2022. I absolutely love what I do and look forward to every new experience and opportunity this journey takes me on!

Elliot is amazing to work with! He is SO quick to respond to messages and is also super fast with taking/editing photos. Both our engagement shoot and wedding photos were stunning and we got tons of compliments from family and friends during the wedding about his professionalism. He rolls with the punches and has an eye for spotting unique photo locations/poses. We can’t stop gushing over these amazing photos we will cherish forever. We can’t thank you enough Elliot!

We hired IG PHOTO VIDEO for our Chicago wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made. From the start, the team was incredibly professional, organized, and detail-oriented. They helped us with the timeline, gave great advice during planning, and on the wedding day they constantly kept an eye on the schedule — honestly acting like a coordinator in the best way possible. They guided us through poses so everything felt natural and never forced. The team noticed every detail and made sure nothing was missed. The photos are amazing — emotional, elegant, and beautifully edited. The video is incredible, capturing every important moment and even moments we didn’t realize were happening. This is truly the best photo and video team in Illinois. We couldn’t recommend IG PHOTO VIDEO more.

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Awarded Best of Zola
Abby wasn’t able to travel to my wedding but she sent her assistants and she edited the photos. It went absolutely perfect. The photos were beautiful and I got so many meaningful photos with my family and his family that I wouldn’t have thought to get. I sent her draft of a timeline and the photographers printed it out and had it to make sure the photos I wanted got done. They were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much to Abby and her team.

Lauren was an amazing photographer to work with! My husband and I planned to get married in Rockford while living in Houston. Choosing our photographer who was willing to work with our weird circumstance was super important. From the start Lauren was communicative, supportive, and flexible! As a person she is so kind and calming, as a professional her pictures really captured what I envisioned for our wedding day. She was direct about her pricing, her suggestions, and her advice. On my wedding day I didn’t have to worry about a thing and I’m so glad she captured our most important moments.

However, Cara was able to make it work in her schedule and I couldn’t of been any happier! Cara helped me so much with the little details that you don’t always think of when planning a wedding. She assisted with the timeline and even scouted areas through the smoky mountains for beautiful scenery for our photos. (She found the BEST spots!!!) Cara is personable and professional. She made us feel so at ease during our photos. I seriously can’t recommend Cara enough!
