Hello there! My name is Alana. I am a wedding photographer based in the Chicagoland area who ranges from lovely backyard weddings in the suburbs, to swanky celebrations in the city, to flying off to stunning elopements around the world. Weddings with me include tons of laughter, lots of support in planning and organizing, and photos so vivid that your memories jump out of the frame. (It may also include us both happy crying together on the big day) I make the whole process as easy and fun as possible, and would be absolutely honored to take on the role of turning your memories into artwork!

Awarded Best of Zola
Alana was fantastic to work with! She is super easy to communicate with and was very understanding when my husband’s work schedule made taking our engagement photos a challenge. Skip forward half a year and our wedding pictures are absolutely amazing! She edits with such a vivid and lively style that is not typical of wedding photographers and we could not be happier with how they came out. She also delivered early which was completely unnecessary but much appreciated!

My passion for wedding photography stems from my love of storytelling. Weddings are filled with moments of joy, laughter, and love, and I believe in honoring every genuine connection and fleeting glance that happens throughout the day. Every couple has a unique story, and my goal is to help you relive yours for years to come through images that evoke the same emotions you felt on your wedding day.

Hi! I'm Kayla - a traveling Milwaukee wedding photographer - and I'm going to make you cry. Wait, what? Don't worry, not in a bad way. Most of my couples say they cry when receiving their wedding photos from me for the first time. Five, ten, fifty years down the road when you open your wedding album, bet I'll get you again. You'll still be surrounded by your loved ones - remembering the happy tears and laughing until your belly hurts - just as you did on your wedding day.

We had an amazing experience working with Kayla for our wedding. From my first introduction to her it was clear that she is extremely organized and thinks of every detail. For our engagement shoot we gave her a few ideas of the direction we wanted to go, and she created an entire vision. We were nervous about being unnatural in front of the camera and she made us feel comfortable, relaxed, and gave us good directions! We are so thrilled with how our wedding day photos turned out. She captured our day so beautifully with our family and friends and we truly couldn't be happier with our photos! We will cherish these memories she captured for life.

Hi! I'm Tia - Mom of 5 kids, 2 dogs and wife to the most supportive and amazing husband there is. In fact, you will often times find him carrying boxes, straightening linens, or even officiating from time to time. I started Capstone Occasions (aka-my crowning achievement) to help elevate your events to the top of your expectations. It could be a simple intimate affair to the grandest of parties, but whatever you are envisioning, it is my plan to execute it with every bit of intention and emotion that you have for it yourself.

Awarded Best of Zola
Capstone occassions made our wedding day absolute magic. I started the planning process on my own but got stuck and unmotivated because i felt overwhelmed/not entirely sure what was next. Tia jumped in and helped me get excited about the process again and accomplish the tasks in order of importance and made sure it was a day that both Mike (my now husband) and I envisioned and wanted to make it special for us. Because of her experience she has so many friends in the business. I appreciated she recommended vendors based on who the two of us are and what we were looking for and within our budget (and ways to save). She thinks about EVERYTHING! Things we never would have considered on our own. My favorite being the sunset photos of me and my husband. He doesn’t like pictures but he loved how they turned out. Not only that, she makes sure it’s a seamless process and day that’s stress free. My mom was so grateful to be able to let loose and relax and could not say enough about how instrumental Tia and her team were to make the day so beautiful and coordinating with all the vendors so we didn’t have to. Day before the wedding, I was honestly a mess and left our name tags at my office and a few other prints including labels and a mock up picture of what we were thinking. So, we had to last minute hand write the name tags and in a rush left unorganized and unlabeled bins for them to sort out. My brain was all over the place and it didn’t occur to me until too late but when we walked in, it was even better than I imagined. They really went the extra mile and made everything picture perfect. Our friends and family were so impressed and we’re still getting compliments to this day. Thank you Tia and the Capstone Occassions team! You are fun to work with, easy to get along with (even some of our craziest family members), hardworking, magician ninjas (for all the stuff you do behind the scenes we will never even know about- thank you). We are forever grateful for the best and happiest day of our lives!

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

Awarded Best of Zola
People often debate what's most important for a wedding: is it the venue, the food, the flowers... ?  It's the memories, and putting them in the hands of artists who can show you the heart and soul and feel of every moment - moments you can't plan for, you can never adequately take in, and many you would simply miss. Jarrod and Taylor are certainly technically gifted photographers and videographers, but more importantly they are artists whose true love is capturing yours.  The name says it all: The Narrative. My bride Ali and I will be forever grateful that we found and convinced them to tell our story.  I could imagine a thousands different weddings, but none without them by our side. Thank you, Jarrod and Taylor, you beautiful humans, for your truly awesome and unbelievable care, vision, and talents.  You've given us more than we could have ever imagined or even hoped for, through your perfect lens.

I’ve always had a passion for telling stories. Weddings give me the perfect medium to tell the most spectacular and memorable stories of all. I’ve owned my company for over a decade and I’ve loved every minute of it. Love stories are such a wonderful thing to film and I have never felt more honored than when a couple trusts me to capture their big day. My wife and I got married among the giants of Sequoia and King's Canyon National Park in October of 2019. I feel, now, that I can fully understand the breadth of emotions a couple goes through on their wedding day, and I am humbled to know I am near such experiences every time I film a wedding.

We absolutely loved working with Elmwood as our wedding videographers! The team met with us virtually to discuss our vision for the video and we could tell right away they were as excited to work with us as we were with them. The actual day of the wedding was so fun and they kept us laughing, posing, and smiling even in late-July Florida heat. They did a great job listening to what we wanted for our video and delivered above and beyond our expectations. We received so many compliments from our friends and family we shared the video with, and it's such a beautiful way to remember our special day. Thank you!

Hey, Im Grant. I'm a Madison, WI based wedding photographer who specializes in a documentary approach using both film and digital photography. If you want your wedding gallery to be uniquely yours (vs a Pinterest shotlist), then I'm your guy.

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing the right photographer was one of the more important decisions for our wedding, and we dedicated considerable time to making the right choice. Looking back after our wedding, I can say that we made the best decision. Working with Grant was truly a fantastic experience. From the moment we connected, he seamlessly guided us through the entire process, making us feel at ease and ensuring our day was beautifully captured. He made the day a breeze, capturing every special moment while making us feel totally relaxed. His ability to blend into the day effortlessly while capturing important moments was impressive. Some of the most cherished shots were taken without us even realizing he was there, yet each picture vividly brings back the emotions we felt at that moment. His documentary style? It's our jam! No stiff poses- just real, authentic shots that tell our story. Also, his skill in film photography added an incredible depth to the images, preserving the essence of our day in timeless frames. I also want to point out how easy communication was/is with him. Grant is lightning-fast with responses! So friendly and approachable too. When so many details of a wedding can be stressful, it was SO nice knowing we didn’t have to worry at all about our photography. If you're after a wedding photographer, Grant has the skills, the vibe, and the passion. Highly recommend!

Mayah Lee Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day. Our serendipitous meeting on an instagram contest kicked off an incredible professional relationship right from our engagement photoshoot.Mayah is warm, friendly, and professional. On our wedding day, she took the lead to ensure we captured all the key moments without the day feeling like just a photoshoot. Mayah's hard work, dreamy and moody editing style, and attention to detail resulted in photos that are simply perfect. We worked with her for three unique sessions, and she brought our vision to life in a way that exceeded our expectations. We cannot recommend Mayah Lee Photography enough - she was an integral part of making our special day so memorable.

A Chicago-based wedding and elopement photographer that values genuine connection, authentic emotions, and getting to know my clients on a deep and personal level. I value capturing your moments and memories exactly how they happen, helping you to remember the feelings of intimacy, love, and warmth of marrying your person. PLEASE GO TO MY WEBSITE TO INQUIRE!

This is guaranteed to be longwinded because there aren't nearly enough words to explain how incredible Jayde is and how magical working with her was so if you're reading this, lock her in now and trust that you won't regret it because you're in amazing hands. For context, I was your quintessential type A bride with a very specific vision for my wedding. Given that, I was especially particular when it came time to pick our wedding photographer but from the moment we connected with Jayde, we knew she was the one. Beyond her professionalism and talent behind the lens, Jayde is kind, genuine, personable, patient, and caring, feeling like more of an old friend than your typical vendor. When we were torn on whether or not to do the first look, Jayde provided a high level of expertise and support, which led to us doing it and literally receiving photos that left us speechless. She also showed the highest level of enthusiasm for and dedication to capturing our day based on the vision described and literal 10 page mood board I created for her the week of our wedding, on top of the fact that she seamlessly captured photos of me and my husband on the skydeck, despite her personal fear of heights. During our initial conversations, I told Jayde that regardless of if I was looking at my photos six months post-wedding or 26 years later, that I wanted to be able to travel back in time and evoke the same emotions that we felt on our special day, and Jayde went way above my expectations, delivering breathtaking memories and stunning photos that we'll forever be grateful for. So all that said, if you're looking for someone who will ensure you're comfortable in front of the camera and will guide you flawlessly through the process of creating magazine worthy images that reflect the love shared between you and your partner, you NEED Jayde and I promise, you will not regret booking with her.
