My husband and I come as a photo team! We feel your day should be captured your way! So we tailor our style and editing to each unique couple! It’s not about us, it’s about you. We will help you document what is most important to you, the way you envision! Just like you, we have felt awkward in front of the camera. We’ve had photos taken of us that we didn’t like. We will make sure you not only feel comfortable, but that you look good! We give you prompts to keep you moving so you look and feel natural and comfortable.

From the beginning, my husband and I were incredibly impressed by the communication style of the team at PictureMeThisByLacie. They were efficient, kind, and excellent active listeners who provided unwavering support throughout the wedding planning process. Their work is truly incredible - we were in absolute awe of both our engagement and wedding photos. We could not have asked for better pictures that will allow us to look back on our special day forever. The PictureMeThisByLacie team was super easygoing and helped us seamlessly organize all of the photography, including portraits, couple's shots, wedding party, family, ceremony, reception, evening, details, and candid moments. They were patient, flexible, and kept my husband and I calm during the busy timeline of our wedding day. We are over the moon with the stunning photos they captured that will serve as the most beautiful memories of our wedding.

Born and raised in Joliet, IL. but now based in Pontiac, IL my husband and I love to travel all around the state and also out of it. Since I was a kid I've always loved photography and always had a camera I could get my hands on ready. It mostly consisted of my older sister's old cameras but I would make it work. I’ve been photographing weddings professionally since 2017. I like being the friend in the background taking pictures of you while you take it all in. That's the feeling I like to give my clients, posed and candid pictures.

  • Serves Broadlands, IL

As a wedding professional of 19+ years, I understand the importance of hiring a photographer you can trust. I've been photographing weddings since 2007 - I LOVE ALL things wedding! Watching your Mom zipping up your dress while she fights back tears, the first look with Dad as he sees his baby girl ready to walk down the isle... capturing all the little moments while you say "I do" is what I live for! I believe your wedding day is the start of your family legacy and it's meant to be captured and enjoyed for years to come.

Shayla did a great job in capturing our special day. She is very talented and creative! She did our engagement photos also which we love! Jr was so hard having to choose our favorite photos to hang in the house. She is very patient and her turnaround time in getting the photos back to us was quick! Ordered products from her studio as well and they why quality of them is absolutely worth it! Definitely will be continuing to use Shayla for all our family photo needs.

Hi there! I'm Stefan, a wedding and portrait photographer based in Central Illinois. I've been capturing special moments through my lens for the past 9 years, and I can't imagine doing anything else. Photography has always been my passion, but it wasn't until I started shooting weddings and portraits that I truly found my calling. There's something incredibly special about being able to document life's most important moments - the laughter, the tears, the joy, and the love.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our first reason we were drawn to Stefan (besides the amazing photos) is the fact that he is LGBTQIA friendly. We had our concerns about being comfortable in front of a photographer if they were not. From the moment that Stefan walked in the door and got to work we knew we had made the right choice. He made the day feel so easy, pulled us to the side at just the right times, while also making sure we had plenty of time with our guests, took whatever pictures we asked, and made us feel so comfortable. We could not have asked for a better person to photograph our wedding day! Thank you Stefan! You have no idea how much you did for us throughout the day just by being so easy to work with!

Since 2008, I’ve found myself as a professional photographer who strives to capture life, in all of its twists + turns, candidly. In addition to taking pictures, I am: the owner of The Made Fest, a handmade + vintage festival; in love with my husband; a co-founder of Smile Politely, a Champaign-Urbana local culture magazine and The Pygmalion Festival; a master gardener; an epicurean; and a mother. I am a feminist and a LGBTIAQ ally.

I can't recommend Justine enough, from her professionalism, to her artistry she is a dream to work with. As a photographer myself, I am nervous, awkward, and admittedly particular about having photos of myself taken. With Justine at the help myself, my partner and all of our guests were at ease and the images she captured fully represent the vibrant and loving nature of our ceremony and celebration. Thank you Justine for being exactly who you are and doing what you do so beautifully. You have captured for us moments we will cherish forever.

As an experienced wedding photographer who has photographed over 150 weddings in ten states, I've come to love joyful, adventurous couples who adore their friends and family. My couples tend to care most about genuine emotion and tender moments of the day and having timeless, classic, happy photos that will stand the test of time. They can't wait to have a stunning album full of the story of their wedding day to look at for years to come and share with generations. They see the wedding as the start of a beautiful marriage and care more about their marriage than making their wedding a production.

She was professional but fun – and completely unobtrusive, yet she was right there for every important moment and seemed to capture everything!

You're not just hiring a photographer—you're gaining a creative partner who’s with you from “yes” to “I do.” I’m Pedro, Creative Director of Albany Capture, and for over 12 years I’ve been documenting love stories through a style that blends photojournalism with fine art. Weddings are more than just events—they're a celebration of connection, and I’m passionate about preserving the real, fleeting moments that make your day unforgettable. To ensure we provide dedicated time and personalized recommendations for your wedding photography and videography needs, we now offer in-depth consultations for a nominal fee of $50.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Pedro and his team at Albany Capture Film & Photography Studios was a game-changer for our wedding. From the moment we booked them for our engagement session and saw those photos, we knew we made the right choice. After the engagement session, we ended up hiring Pedro for all of our bridal events! The bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, and full 12-hour wedding day, we had Pedro and his team there for them all! Pedro and the entire team showed up ready to work hard and have fun—they were smiling the whole time, even after 12 hours on their feet. The second photographer was especially great at making my husband and his groomsmen feel at ease during their getting-ready photos. We also hired a videographer and content creator through Albany Capture and our experience with them was also great! We have not seen the video yet, but I was sent hundreds of little videos from the content creator just 2 days after the wedding along with 2 recap videos. If anyone is on the fence about hiring a content creator, just do it!!! Its the best way to see content quickly while you are still on the wedding high. We so enjoyed watching the videos while on our mini moon. What really impressed us was how quickly Pedro turned around a handful of sneak peek photos just days after the wedding, and they're absolutely stunning. Pedro was just really great throughout the entire process and I am so glad we hired him. We can't wait to see the rest of the photos and would definitely recommend them to any couple looking for photographers who are responsive, professional, and genuinely fun to be around.

From big milestones to everyday magic, I’m here to freeze time in a way that’s real, timeless, and joy-filled.

Jovan was absolutely amazing to work with. On our calls before the big day, she was always happy and excited and answered all of our questions and it gave us such a sense of ease. I never once had to worry and stress about photos. Day of the wedding, she completely killed it. She was still her happy self but was able to organize us and snap some amazing photos. She worked with me on some odd family and friend dynamics and eliminated any worries I had. She did a fantastic job of catching the perfect small moments, some of which I didn’t even know she was capturing. The photos are all so naturally beautiful and I can’t even begin to describe how much we love them. They are clean and bright and show us, our personalities, and our people perfectly. 100% the best decision we made.

I focus on visualizing how it felt to live your wedding day, while also crafting editorializations simply for the sake of intentional, living art. I am adamant that everyone, of all genders and orientations, any ethnicity, culture, or faith, all shapes, ages, and abilities, are welcome and I’d be delighted to work with you.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the most amazing time working with Ali! We had kind of a long engagement and we initially started working with Ali over a year and a half before our wedding to get our engagement photos done. Not only were the photos beautiful, but Ali made us feel super comfortable and at ease throughout our session. Leading up to our wedding day, Ali was amazing at coordinating the day of timeline with our coordinator and making sure that all the elements that were important to us were included so that we had enough time to capture the moments. One of my favorite things about working with Ali is her calm presence. Every time I was stressed about something in the planning process about the timeline I would talk to Ali and she would immediately make me feel at ease. She was constantly reminding me that the most important thing on my wedding day was to be present with our friends and family (and as a type A bride this was a much-needed reminder!) Ali also came to take photos at our rehearsal dinner and welcome party which was great because she got to know our families and our family dynamics before our big day which was a huge help! On the wedding day Ali and the second shooter Scottie were rockstars! They went above and beyond at every opportunity from helping the boys tie a bow tie, climbing out on my fire escape to get a crazy photo that I had in mind, moving locations at last minute, dealing with rain, helping bustle my dress, and of course capturing all the beauty of our perfect day. I will not hesitate to work with Ali and her team again! She’s amazing, a true professional, and I hope we have the chance to have her capture our big milestones in the years to come.

Sentimental soul, avid movie goer, former middle school teacher, mental health advocate, renaissance faire attender, long-story-long teller, dog lover, farmer's market shopper, and decent chocolate chip cookie maker.

Rachael was our photographer for our September 2023 wedding. There is no question that she was the absolute best person we could have had for such a special day. From beginning to end Rach helped us plan and execute our vision. We were not using a wedding planner, so she helped us get a lot of details and timelines on track. She also made sure we had fun and were able to relax through the whole process. On our wedding day Rach showed up ready to go and excited for a fun day. She captured so many beautiful moments between our first look, moments with family, ceremony, and reception. She also gifted us a moment alone to talk and take in the day just the two of us - it was so special and intimate. I will always cherish the memories and details she captured for us. Rachael also did our engagement shoot a few months before the wedding and those photos are so incredibly breathtaking. Some people have such a talent and artistry in what they do and Rachael is one of those people. If you are looking for someone who will become your friend, make you feel beautiful, and most importantly capture these special moments in a way that brings back every emotion of life and love when you look back at the photos, we 10000% recommend Rachael.

My husband and I were beyond impressed with our entire experience with Debra Aslanidis Photography. From start to finish Debra made my experience as a bride so smooth and stress-free. Wedding planning can be a stressful process, but Debra provided excellent communication about what to expect leading up to the wedding and the day of, so we felt very at ease the entire time. When I ran into an unrelated issue (a problem with another vendor), Debra reached out and sent me recommendations and offered support while I dealt with the situation. It was unbelievably kind and not at all expected, but it really made me feel cared for and I appreciated Debra going above and beyond for me! On the day of our wedding, Debra and her partner Jeremy were absolutely phenomenal. For one, they worked so perfectly together. We had guests complimenting how well they worked and coordinated together! I seriously can’t thank them enough for not only being amazing photographers, but also helping with other tasks that they voluntarily did. I seriously felt like they assumed the role of our wedding coordinators at times, since we didn’t have one, by providing suggestions and opinions since they’re the experienced ones when it comes to weddings! I couldn’t be more thankful for their confidence and comfortability in doing so! Finally, I am seriously blown away by the fact that we got our photos about a month after our wedding day! Debra has worked weddings, engagement shoots, and other photoshoots every single weekend and has a family, yet still managed to bust her butt to finish our photos, and it was the best surprise to get our photos back right before celebrating one month of marriage. I am so in love with our photos and have looked at them every single day, multiple times a day, since getting them back. Photos are the one thing you keep from your wedding day (besides your memories!), and I am absolutely in love with the final photos! The editing is beautiful, and I’m so happy we prioritized finding a photographer who emphasizes the behind-the-scenes and candid moments. I love that our pictures are 100% in the moment and capture the real, raw emotions of everyone! There were several detailed shots of our venue and decor and I love those just as much as I love the ones of me, my husband, our families, and our friends! They’re all so stunning!! Our photos made me laugh, cry, audibly say “awww,” and smile the biggest, cheesy grin. I absolutely believe your photographer is one of the most important vendors you choose for your wedding day, and I would 1000% recommend Debra Aslanidis Photography to everyone I know!!

I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Brayley. From start to finish, she was hands down one of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding. I originally found her on Instagram and immediately fell in love with her work. From our very first consultation, I knew I wanted her as our photographer. She was so incredibly sweet, knowledgeable, and intentional with the questions she asked. She genuinely wanted to get to know us and make sure our personalities, vision, and overall vibe were a good fit for her photography style — and that level of care continued through the entire process. Once we booked her, she made everything SO easy. She checked in with us throughout the planning process, sent update emails, always offered to help however she could, and gave us the most detailed resources to prepare for the wedding day. She had checklists for detail photos, preference sheets, planning documents — seriously, everything you could possibly think of. I never once felt like I had to wonder what she needed from me because she had already thought of it. And then came the wedding day… Brayley was absolutely INCREDIBLE. We only booked her without a second photographer, and somehow she managed to capture our entire night so perfectly. She was everywhere without ever feeling intrusive. She never made us feel rushed or stressed, even when we were running a little behind while getting ready. She rolled with everything, kept things moving, and somehow even managed to wrangle all of the boys and get every group photo we wanted. What I loved most, though, was how much I trusted her creatively. We gave her the freedom to do what she does best, and she gave us photos that are more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. She captured the big moments, the tiny moments, the emotions, the people we love, and so many little pieces of our wedding that I didn’t even realize were happening at the time. Looking through our gallery genuinely feels like reliving our wedding night. I tear up EVERY SINGLE TIME I look through our photos. She didn’t just give us beautiful wedding pictures — she gave my husband and me the ability to go back and experience one of the best nights of our lives over and over again. If you are looking at Brayley’s work and considering booking her, DO IT. There is absolutely no one else I would have wanted behind the camera on our wedding day. She is talented, organized, patient, kind, creative, and just an absolute joy to work with. Brayley, THANK YOU for capturing our wedding so beautifully and giving us photos we will treasure for the rest of our lives. I truly cannot recommend you enough.

Bogdanov Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding day. From the moment we first connected, Svat was outgoing, reachable, and prompt in his communication, putting us at ease throughout the entire planning process. He gave us a comprehensive checklist and many tips for the makeup trial, rain preparation, and building our shot list. His detail-oriented, gorgeous photography captured all the special moments of our day in a truly high-quality and affordable way. He was flexible and generous with his time and saved us quite a bit of money finding the perfect package to suit our exact needs. Svat went above and beyond, even gifting us beautiful Polaroid photos just before we left for the evening. We were crunched for time before the ceremony, but he was still able to capture so many meaningful moments that surprised us and beautiful accessory layouts. We couldn't be happier with our forever photos - Svat went above and beyond and we highly recommend his work to any couple looking for an amazing wedding photographer.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Isaac was absolutely fantastic to work with, and we couldn't be happier we chose Love Knot Photography for our wedding. From the start, what stood out was how much he cared about capturing the actual feeling of the day rather than just working through a checklist of poses. He and his co-photographer had a great eye for the in-between moments — the little glances, the laughter, the chaos of getting ready — alongside all the formal shots we expected. Looking through our gallery afterward, so many of our favorite photos are ones we didn't even know were being taken. He was also just easy and calm to have around on a hectic day, which mattered more than we realized it would. Weddings move fast, and having a photographer who was unobtrusive but always exactly where he needed to be took one more thing off our minds. One of the things we appreciated most: he and his co-photographer stayed well past the time included in our package, all the way until we started dancing. That extra stretch of time meant they captured some of the best — and funniest — photos of the whole night, catching our friends and family completely in their element on the dance floor. It wasn't something we asked for; they just wanted to make sure they got the shots. Isaac also went well beyond the package once it came to editing. Our contract included 300 retouched photos, but we ended up with around 550 edited images and 717 total files between web and print resolution, including alternate crops and versions of several favorites. It's clear he genuinely cared about giving us as much of the day as possible, not just fulfilling a contract. We're so glad we chose Love Knot Photography, and we'll be treasuring these photos for years to come. If you're looking for a photographer who will genuinely capture your day rather than just document it, Isaac is who you want.
