Chelsea Marie Photography

Bloomington, IL
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,000

I aim to present my work in a way that is 100% timeless and authentic. When you look back at your images, I want it to bring back "all the feels". I want my images to represent you just the way you are, nothing overly edited or changed. My hope is that you will be able to cherish these images for many years to come.

“I'm so glad I chose Chelsea for our wedding photography! Chelsea was an absolute joy to work with, and not only is she a talented photographer, she helped organize and plan details for the wedding day schedule. We had a great experience doing engagement photos with her where she made us feel comfortable and stunned us with amazing photos, so we knew our wedding day photos would be great too. She was also very organized, professional, and flexible on the busy wedding day from achieving all the different shots and working with a large group for family portraits. Chelsea was a standout part of our wedding planning experience and made everything go smoothly and now we have beautiful photographs to cherish forever too.”

Dana Bell Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
Bloomington, IL
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,400

A photographer for over 7 years based in Bloomington, IL and Chicago, let's take photos that feel like a memory but styled like art. If you want raw feelings captured in your wedding photos, but you don't want to have to think about what to do or how to do it - you want the memories captured with an artistic twist, or you just have no clue to do with your hands - LET'S TALK!

“If we had to plan our wedding all over again, booking Dana would be the first thing that we did! Our photographs are stunning, and she did such an amazing job capturing all the special little moments of the day. We had two toddlers as our ring bearers, and she did a great job getting photos of them in a fun way. Just as important as the photos was the attitude that Dana brought to the day. She was focused, professional, but most of all fun! She was a very easy person to be around, and everyone felt relaxed, which made the photos so much better. I am not a person that takes a ton of pictures, and she did a great job helping us bring our vision to life in a way that was fun and comfortable! I would highly highly recommend her to any other couples. (Our wedding was in May 2025)”

Sara Gardner Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
Bloomington, IL
  • Photojournalistic style

My goal is very simple; document what's happening. All of it. The little smiles, small embraces, big laughs, quiet tears, fingers intertwined, subtle glances, and first steps. None of these things will ever happen the way they happened today. I believe there should be proof that you laughed at that joke, said those vows, kissed that cheek, and cried those tears. And it should be captured in a way that is beautiful and full of feeling.

“Please consider Sara as your photographer for your wedding day. Sara is professional but can also make you feel so comfortable and at ease that you forget she's your photographer. This makes those candid shots so perfect. She spent the day with us & made sure nothing was missed in our photos. When I look at them now, I feel like I am reliving the whole day. I so appreciate the tiny little details she manages to get. Thank you so much, Sara!”

    “We knew Photography by Erin B. was the right choice from our first conversation—she was responsive, relaxed, and genuinely excited about our vision. Erin has a real gift for capturing moments without getting in the way, and she was so kind to everyone at our family/friends Midwest Celebration before the NYC wedding in October. Her creative eye shows in every photo, with a style that feels both artistic and distinctly ours. She understood what we wanted and delivered something we couldn't have imagined on our own. From start to finish, working with Erin was easy and stress-free. We couldn't be happier with how our Midwest Celebration day turned out, as seen through her lens.”

Our photographer, Sarah, did our engagement and wedding photos. She scoped out the best spots for our engagment photos, even with rain earlier in the day. She brought so much energy and flexibility. On our wedding day, she helped stay on time, brought the same energy, and captured all our favorite moments with all our favorite people. She also went to look at the venue and picture locations prior, which was so helpful! Rebecca, our second photographer, was so kind and got all the shots Sarah may have missed. She loved our dog!

While we drove around the park it felt like we hanging out with our good friends which made it all the more fun and the photos more authentic.

    “where do i even begin? we were so blessed to have Rachael with us on our special day. we hired Carissa for our wedding photography & chose to have her bring an extra shooter with & BOOM! we somehow got blessed with Rachael as our bonus. i could go on about everything from her amazing personality, the positivity & happiness absolutely exuding from her at all times, her killer taste in music, the sheer talent that is her photography skills (both behind the camera & assisting in posing with such ease), to the way she somehow makes it feel like an old friend is with you every step of your wedding day (even if it’s the first day you met her), wrapping you in her beautiful scarf to keep you warm between photos & the ceremony because you were shivering, & is even willing to join your friends and family on the dance floor amidst capturing the most amazing memories for you. never did i feel rushed, if anything she helped me keep my cool about my timeline & helped ease so much of my anxiety about it. okay, i know what you’re thinking, “amy this seems like an excessive rant for a wedding photographer.” BUT YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND!! our photography was one part of our wedding we were willing to splurge on, & if i hadn’t decided we absolutely needed a second photographer for the day then i would have never been absolutely blessed with Rachael. not only did she capture so many of our posed moments, but more importantly the candid moments that i was too busy spinning around like a maniac to notice & are now some of my favorite pictures. our photographers are one part of our day that i will FOREVER absolutely rave about to everyone & always recommend to future brides because i want them to be able to experience the same beautiful souls & genuinely perfect encounter i got that day. Rachael is the kind of person you want to reach out to when you’re thinking about future photoshoots, & who makes you want to do photoshoots just for an excuse to get to experience both her presence & her absolute talent again. if you were debating hiring Rachael, PLEASE don’t second guess it. you will NOT be disappointed.

After meeting Ali in person on their wedding day and seeing the magic she can do, it was an absolute no brainer that she would be there for our big day and any and every other event we need photography for! She truly became family and we cannot thank her enough for everything she’s done! She goes above and beyond in her work and truly makes the day so much easier and more fun than ever!”

    ****I WILL ONLY BE RESPONDING TO MESSAGES ON ZOLA UNTIL 12/19/2026. They have unfortunately raised their prices and partnered with a very well known company (they won't let me put the name in this), which are known scams for wedding vendors. Please reach out using my website if you are interested**** Hiii! I'm Heather Schoolcraft - owner & CEO! I'm a small town gal from WV who LOVES traveling and pops of color. I've designed my entire company around creating authentic + magical love stories. On your wedding day, our goal is to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and to focus on the raw + real moments on your day.

    “Debra Aslanidis Photography was an outstanding choice for our wedding photographer. From our initial contact, Debra and her team were prompt, quick, and efficient in their communication, providing detailed responses to all of our questions. On the day of the wedding, Debra and her fiancé Jeremy were professional, unobtrusive, and captured the most beautiful, detailed shots that we will treasure forever. Despite not seeing them constantly throughout the reception, they managed to get so many stunning photos that we didn't even know were being taken - we truly felt like we could just enjoy the moment without having to "perform" for the camera. The quality of their work is simply outstanding, and we couldn't be happier with the value they provided. Debra is the perfect wedding photographer - she takes her job seriously but has fun while doing it, and we highly recommend her services to any couple looking for beautiful, detailed photography that will beautifully document their special day. These are just a couple of the shots I felt really captured our day!!”
