*The easiest way to contact me is through my website* OMG HI!! I'm Brit! When I am not basking in the chaos of my 2 toddlers, 5 dogs, 3 cats, 10 goats, 6 ducks. 2 geese, 2 cows, 8 chickens, and my 400 hobbies, I am out there capturing your story. First and foremost I am an artist. Telling your story is my art. Oftentimes times photos add such an immense amount of pressure. One of my super powers is making YOU comfortable in front of my camera. I pride myself in my ability to do that.

Awarded Best of Zola
Brit is professional yet so personable and I couldn’t imagine having anyone else shoot our wedding. She is so kind and caring, she took care of us every step of the way from engagement session through the big day and I knew without a doubt we wouldn’t be disappointed by booking her. Sure enough, Brit is a friend even months after our wedding and her pictures are ones I will cherish for the rest of my life. I am amazed every time I look at them and reminisce on such a beautiful day that Brit captured perfectly.

More of what it FEELS like not just what it looks like. Telling stories has always been my favorite, but words tend to get lost or forgotten so I tell them the best way I know how - through photographs!

I mix editorial and documentary style photography for a wedding gallery that feels nostalgic and luxurious.

We are a husband and wife team that offers wedding photography and super 8 films. We also have a team of associate photographers for those on a budget.

We couldn't be happier with choosing Brittany as our wedding photographer. She photographed our NYE wedding where she perfectly captured the vintage & timeless vibes we had envisioned. My husband and I don't have experience in being in front of the camera, but Brittany made us feel so comfortable. I am always shocked at how well she captures us on camera. We have gotten so many compliments on our photos from friends and family. If you're looking for a photographer who just gets it, hire Brittany. 3

Light Sky Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Ashmore, IL for additional fees

If you’re looking to hire a wedding photographer who can capture your big day in a “not so traditional” way, then you’re in the right place. We are Alternative Portraiture & Documentary Wedding Photographers based in sunny (and sometimes rainy) South Florida, and we like to think of ourselves as friendly, honest, and quirky (the good kind, we promise). We are creative beings at heart and love to tell stories unconventionally.

From the moment we met Erika and Loy for our engagement shoot, we knew we had found something special. They made two self-proclaimed awkward people feel totally at ease in front of the camera. It didn’t feel like posing—it felt like laughing, dancing, and being fully ourselves, all while they worked their magic. The photos captured not just how we looked, but who we are. We walked away from that session with more than beautiful images—we walked away with memories. Fast forward to our wedding day, and they absolutely blew us away. Our friends and family keep raving about the photos: “absolutely stunning,” “so artsy,” “journalistic,” “soulful,” and “hilarious and beautiful at the same time.” The photos brought the emotion of the day flooding back—joy, intimacy, hilarity, and everything in between. Every little detail, every fleeting look, every big, beautiful moment—it’s all there. They somehow captured the energy of the day, not just the visuals. We’ve gone through the gallery more times than we can count, and each time we see something new to love. From my dad’s emotional first look to the spontaneous dance floor chaos to those quiet moments between us in Adirondack chairs—it’s all so genuine and full of heart. Working with Erika and Loy wasn’t just hiring photographers—it was inviting two incredibly talented, kind, and charismatic humans into some of the most important moments of our lives. We can’t imagine having had anyone else there with us. If you’re considering them—do it. Truly, 10 out of 10.

I am a photographer based out of Indianapolis and have 17 years of professional photography experience. In my experience, trends come and go. What matters most is the genuine emotions and connections to the people that surround your wedding day. I have photographed over 400 weddings, and what I appreciate more than ever, are the real moments that happen on every wedding day. Those moments will never be replicated. It is important to choose a photographer that you not only trust to capture those moments, but will enjoy sharing that space with you as they do.

Stephen and his team are hands down the best wedding photographers in Indy! You will not be disappointed. I was a professional wedding photographer for over a decade & when it was time to hire a photographer for my daughter’s wedding he was my first call. Our photos were simply beautiful. Stephen is one of the best storytellers in the industry. He understands composition, lighting & captures emotions like no other. Hiring someone to capture such an monumental moment is so nerve-racking, but it you hire Stephen and his team you can sit back and relax knowing you will not be disappointed!!!!

Madison Leigh Photography works with couples to ensure that each part of their Wedding day and the Wedding Process is captured to showcase the couple and their love beautifully.

Awarded Best of Zola
We found Madison because she was an Alumni from same school, UCF, as me. We booked her to do an engagement shoot (an hour outside of Orlando) and our photos turned out absolutely amazing. From that one interaction with her, it really felt like we knew her our whole lives. She is super nice, personable, and made us feel very comfortable right away. She also had so much knowledge about the area, and any questions that we had regarding the shoot. She planned and timed everything out so that we could get photos at one location, and then sunset photos by the beach 30 min away. And then when we were looking for photographers for our wedding (in Philadelphia), it was a no-brainer that we wanted to book her again to capture our big day. She came halfway up the coast and played a large role in making our day perfect. We planned the photography from 1000 miles away, and she was really communicative and helpful about the picture planning, and also just wedding planning in general. We ran into a timing issue with how the day was going to work out before the ceremony, and she helped us navigate that, and she worked to keep us on track throughout the night for the different photos that we wanted. She knew what to do & what not to do in the Church. She also worked well alongside our videographer. Ultimately, we are very happy with our experience with Madison, and the wedding photos she took turned out absolutely amazing.

I love to document real moments so if you're looking for someone to capture your day in all its imperfect glory, say something, let's make it happen.

Loy at Sweet Lime takes some great photos. He was a joy to work with and helped set the room up by providing a suggestion that none of the restaurant staff, or us, had thought of which ended up working swimmingly. The day of the wedding, he was present but also not too if that makes sense. He was kind enough to send us a couple preview shots while we impatiently/patiently waited. The photos are well worth the wait. I would be happy to recommend Sweet Lime Photography. You will not be disappointed in his service.

Hi, friend! I’m Devin, a wedding and portrait photographer based in Lombard, Illinois. I serve Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, Milwaukee, Rockford, and I’m always up for an adventure. I absolutely love celebrating with my couples on one of the best days of their lives! I’m always up for an adventure! I’ve never met a mountain that I didn’t like. I love my dogs (all dogs TBH), Leslie Knope, and the Great British Bake Off. I would love to hear about your story and your vision for your wedding day!

My husband and I hired Devin for our 2021 wedding....after it had been postponed due to COVID - it was a stressful time! The absolute silver lining is that Devin was SUCH a good fit for our vibe: she put us at ease and took photos that were vibrant and fun (rather than tender and serious). She got to know us and photographed us "as we wanted to be seen." The other component of this is that when we received our wedding (and engagement) photos, they were all excellent. I am CERTAIN that Devin had to cull through a bunch of awkward shots....but the ones she sent made me feel super attractive always. Excellent judgement on her part! Reviewing our wedding photos let us relive the day - it captured not only the visuals but the *feel* of the day. Since then, I've also hired Devin to shoot musician headshots for me, with the same experience. I would hire her again with enthusiasm!

Hi! I'm Christin, a destination wedding photographer based in Chattanooga, TN. Specializing in timeless and artful imagery, my expertise goes beyond just taking photos; it's about crafting a visual story that reflects the joy, love, and unique spirit of your celebration.

Working with Christin at Christin Sofka Photography was one of the absolute highlights of our wedding journey. From our very first inquiry to the days following our wedding, Christin has been nothing short of phenomenal—responsive, professional, fun, and such a warm presence throughout. We initially found her because of her stunning photography style, but it was her incredible personality that sealed the deal. From our first call, she genuinely wanted to get to know us—our story, our vibe, our vision—and it showed in everything she did. Before we even officially hired her, Christin was helping us find a venue that aligned with our dream, connecting us with other amazing vendors, and offering support in ways far beyond the role of a photographer. She was in it with us every step of the way. I’m usually awkward in front of a camera, but somehow Christin made it feel effortless and fun. She created an environment where we could just be ourselves—and that joy, love, and personality came through in every photo. Our pictures shine with who we are. Every idea we had, she embraced and brought to life in ways that exceeded our expectations. She was just as excited as we were the entire time—and honestly, I can’t imagine our day without her. Christin is not just a photographer—she’s a true artist, a cheerleader, and a calming, creative force you’ll be so lucky to have by your side. If you’re considering hiring her: do it. You’ll be singing her praises too.

I have been coordinating events for 5+ years and fell in love with the methodical creation that comes from planning each different event. Each event is different and has it's own challenges which makes the entire process that much more exciting.

Luxury Affairs was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding.

Their attention to detail and ability to expertly coordinate all aspects of our special day was truly magical - we felt completely stress-free and able to simply enjoy the experience. For example, lead planner Audrei made sure we were on time for every event, and her team went above and beyond to accommodate my elderly, handicapped mother, making sure she could fully participate in all the festivities despite the challenges of our venue.

Hannah was incredible, working so hard the entire day/evening to make sure our day went as smoothly as possible. She takes pride in her job, and I can assure you that she will make you feel at home just as she did us.

My partner and I were married late summer 2024 and we (and our guests) couldn’t stop raving about Ariel and her team. Ariel went above and beyond to make our day run so smoothly. From set up, to greeting and paying vendors, to tear down, we were able to be so present in a day that could have been so stressful because we knew we were in great hands. We debated whether or not we would hire a day of coordinator and Xtraordinary Coordinations turned out to be the most important vendor of our special day! In the lead up to our day, Ariel met with us several times (including a venue walkthrough) and is so personable and charismatic, the meetings that could have been really stressful were actually really fun! I wish I was having another wedding so I could hire Xtraordinary Coordinations again!
