We booked Well Told Weddings for our photographer and I would book them again! Sal was our photographer, he did a wonderful job, was so much fun and the photos turned out fantastic. He was on time and made sure to check if we had any other photos we wanted to capture before the end of the night. We booked with Steve, who was great to work with and the communication was spot on. I’ll let the photos speak for themselves!

Hey! I'm Mackenzie - mom, photographer, wife and book + latte obsessed! Ideal day starts with a latte and a bagel sandwich (because going out for breakfast is the BEST) and ends with a good book. Throw in a photoshoot or wedding in the middle and I'm set!! I have been a professional photographer for 14 years now focusing on couples, families and small businesses. I am not a fan of super stiff posing so I use prompts and play games to capture your personalties and relationships. For weddings, most of your gallery will consist of candid shots of your day helping to tell your story. I'd love to chat with you more!!

My name is Jana Blue and I've been photographing weddings for 12 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.

She’s simply the best photographer you’ll ever meet, blending creativity with flawless technique. She dives into your story, captures your essence, and brings it to life in every shot. Everything feels natural, and the results are nothing short of breathtaking. Honestly, I could write a book about it, but this is something you have to experience for yourself. One thing’s certain: she will absolutely blow your mind.

I captured my first wedding in August of 2018, it was the day I fell head over heels in love with wedding photography. It's all about capturing the love story for me..the feels from beginning to end. When you book with AGS, you're signing on for an adventure. Your engagement session is a celebration full of us getting to know one another, lots of laughter, and having fun! As your wedding nears closer AGS will help with your timeline, connect with your vendors ( or introduce you to some of the best) and help plan out the perfect photo locations, along with any other needs to create the perfect day.

She's the best of the best when it comes to wedding day, she will guide her couples and work with them to get the shots that they love and need for memories. I appreciate her ability to get the job done and doesnt stress her couples to the max.

We’re Cling & Peck, a trio of humans who are hooked on creating photos and videos that are going to last decades and generations. These photos and videos aren’t for mass consumption; they’re going to be loved by different handfuls of humans for years to to come. We love that.

Awarded Best of Zola
Cling and Peck made our wedding day feel like a beautiful adventure. We got married at a forest preserve in the middle of nowhere and they had scouted out several great spots for photos beforehand so that we didn't have to waste time looking around. They also listened to what we were looking for as far as style, specific photos, etc. and delivered exactly what we wanted, and more! Their artistic eye and perfect setup of shots gave the photos the perfect woodland fairytale wedding vibes. Group shots were well directed and easy to manage, unlike many family photo attempts I had experienced in the past. They also ingratiated themselves easily with the wedding guests so that their photos/videos during the reception were barely noticed. They just seemed like another person having fun on the dance floor capturing the whole thing. Would definitely recommend them for all aspects of their wedding photography.

Hi, I'm Ashley! I'm a professional wedding photographer based in Northern Illinois! At my core, I’m a giggly, bubbly, empathetic goofball with a welcoming heart. I've had roots in the wedding industry for a while now and have taken on many roles and worn many hats in this profession! In addition to wedding photography, I'm also a wedding coordinator and work for my local florist! I thrive in environments where I can be intentional, present, loving, empathetic, real, raw, and share in this space with others. This is the driving factor behind my “why” and where my passion for photography and the wedding industry takes root.

Where in the world do I start with my girl Ashley?! When planning my wedding in 2024, I knew one of the most important things during the process was to find an amazing wedding photographer, and sure enough we did! My husband and I got SO lucky. From the beginning, Ash made us beyond comfortable at our engagement shoot (it was our first time ever taking professional photos) AND we had a blast even though it was absolutely freezing that day. During one of the most stressful times of my life planning the wedding, she was the most amazing support, giving the best advice and sweetest comfort throughout the wedding process. Ashley helped make our wedding day go by so smoothly, helped calm my nerves with her warm presence and did an AMAZING job with our photos. She helped capture the most beautiful parts of our day and was so determined to get rainbow pics that we were so lucky to have. Ash was not only the best wedding photographer and her work is beyond beautiful, but she's also become a close friend of mine. I truly am so glad we found each other, I will forever be grateful for our girl! Don't think twice, I promise you won't regret booking any shoot with Ashley!

I don’t know where to begin! Anders and Kristin were truly the dream team behind capturing our wedding day! They weren’t just our photographer and videographer, they were our hype team! Not only did they deliver breathtaking photos and a beautifully crafted video that have allowed us to relive every magical moment, but they also went above and beyond—personally driving us to our venue on our wedding day. Anders and Kristin were also some of the most fun people we’ve ever worked with. From our initial meeting at our engagement shoot, they had us laughing, feeling totally at ease, and actually enjoying every moment in front of the camera. Their creativity and talent speak for themselves—the photos and video are beyond stunning—but it’s their personalities that made the whole experience unforgettable. They somehow managed to capture every candid, heartfelt, and hilarious moment, while also making sure we had the time of our lives in the process. If you want vendors who feel like old friends and who will turn your wedding day into an adventure, these two are it! We couldn't be more grateful.

What I love most is capturing real, meaningful moments, especially weddings. Being able to preserve love stories in an authentic and lasting way is truly the heart of what I do.

Shooting weddings is what brings me the most fulfillment and joy. It is pretty amazing when your passion can become your career. I understand the importance of capturing the authenticity and uniqueness of your love. The most rewarding aspect of my work is seeing the joy, sacrifice, beauty and love in marriage. I will help you every step of the way to feel comfortable and confident, but I want to get all of the unplanned moments as well! If you think we're a fit, say hey!

I would HIGHLY recommend Rachel to anyone in the Chicago area or surrounding suburbs. My fiancé and I are getting married in Iowa, but live in the Chicago area. We wanted a photographer near us to help entwine our roots here in Illinois. After lots of research and recommendations, we went with Rachel. While searching, what really stuck out to us was Rachel's ability to take such warm photographs and her ability to capture the little moments. I was hopeful she could do the same for my fiancé, Josh, & I. Boy oh boy, she did that and more. Our session was so much fun because of how easy it was to work with Rachel. Josh and I both felt comfortable and could definitely cut loose after a couple of warm up shots. Rachel knew her stuff when it came to finding good locations in the Chicago downtown area to help photograph us as an engaged couple. She got our edited photos back to us quickly. We are still staring at them today with so much love and appreciation for her hard work to make us look like super stars. +11/10 stars for Rachel Mae Photography.

If you made it to this page, you can see through my work that I love telling the story of your day by capturing the emotions and moments you can't afford to miss. ​ I come from a large Italian family with many of us extended into the arts or passionate about cooking and singing. I picked up my first camera in high school and immediately I was hooked. Today, I have over a decade in the industry, multiple commendations, and have held the Wedding Wire Couples' Choice Award and The Knot Best of Weddings Award 7 years in a row and counting. ​

Worked with Andrew and his Xcite team at recent wedding and they are top notch pros for all video/photo needs! They always stage and prepare you to record your moments to match your vision. Easy to work with and talented behind the lens. I’ll highly recommended considering their team for capturing your wedding and all special events!

Hi, I'm Missy! I have a very large, blended family with 7 kids and 7 grandchildren. When we all get together, it’s l.o.u.d.! I’ve been in business for over 14 years and am based out of Geneva, but willing to travel. Some of my favorite things are: McDonald’s Cokes, Anthropologie, Kate Spade anything, a good Reisling, a great sense of humor, finding a great bargain, shopping, big hugs.

From the moment we first spoke on the phone, to the gallery delivery, Missy was so fun and helpful. Her photos are amazing and she made our wedding day feel like a dream. She felt like a best friend helping out with whatever needed to be done on our big day and ran through the formal photos like a champ. We are forever grateful and forever clients now.

MBD Photography is dedicated to helping you relive and remember your special day by capturing every moment. By establishing clear lines of communication, we constantly evolve our techniques based on your specific needs. We discuss your needs and deliver them. Our philosophy regarding customer service is elementary, yet revolutionary. We actually listen! Then customize your event based on your input. At the same time, we consult you on various levels regarding your event and collaborate with you to determine the ingredients that will produce the most enjoyable scenario.

We used MBD for our DJ and decided to go with a photographer with them as well – wanted to streamline the number of vendors we dealt with. Great decision!! Planning a DJ and Photographer was so simple with MBD having one coordinator for us to work with ahead of the wedding. Taylor was assigned after letting them know the type of photographs we were looking for. I had an intro meeting with her as I wanted to be sure we at least had some rapport before making final selection. She was so nice and immediately seemed like a great fit. The day of she was spectacular. Our timing was a little off schedule, and she worked with our Coordinator seamlessly to keep us on track all while still ensuring we captured all the pictures we wanted. At the wedding and reception, she was everywhere, yet very unobtrusive – you didn’t notice her unless you were trying to notice her. She blended right in with everyone. While we won’t get pictures back immediately, we’re looking forward to seeing the final outputs.
