Hello, and welcome, I’m a wedding photographer with over 9 years of experience, originally from Moldova. My journey began with a simple but powerful dream- to create something beautiful, something meaningful, something that lasts far beyond a single moment. Now based in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, I’m also available for travel to capture your story wherever it unfolds. Over the years, photography has become more than just a profession for me- it’s an art of connection. I’m drawn to genuine emotions, refined details, and the quiet, in-between moments that often go unnoticed.

“We are beyond happy with our wedding photos! Thanks to Felicia. So professional, kind, and incredibly talented. Every moment was captured perfectly.”

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.

“This was our second time working with Ashley. The first was for our wedding back in 2022. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and again! Her energetic and sweet personality made us feel comfortable to be silly and relaxed while posing. She was great with our toddler and dog as well! Ashley was able to capture beautiful posed photos and also the chaotic, yet everyday moments of chasing a toddler around. The end result were beautiful photos that captured who we are as a family. I HIGHLY recommend Ashley for any photography needs!!!”

My name is Abby, owner of Wren and Rose Photography! I am based in the western Chicago suburbs and I am all capturing authentic moments and good vibes. I like to say that I am the wedding photographer for the rad souls and the groovy lovers, but truly everyone is welcome here. When it comes to my approach to wedding photography, I am big on really getting to know you two, learning about your love story, understanding your vision, and working collaboratively to ensure your day is as stress free as possible. I may be your wedding photographer, but relationships are so important to me with each client I work with.

“From our first conversation, Wren and Rose Photography responded to us right away and made us feel like they genuinely cared about our big day. Abby captured our pre-wedding shoot at the Art Institute of Chicago with such artistry, no pun intended, that we knew we'd made the right choice. On our wedding day, she documented the moments we wanted captured with an eye for detail that left us speechless, the photos are nothing short of perfection. Her work is truly one of a kind, and every image tells our story in a way we couldn't have imagined. Abby was a joy to work with throughout the entire process, bringing warmth, comfortability, and professionalism to every interaction. We can't recommend Wren and Rose Photography highly enough. Abby isn't just a photographer, she's a true artist and visionary. She has an incredible ability to take a moment and transform it into something that feels timeless, intentional, and full of emotion. Her editorial style is unlike anything we've seen: elegant, captivating, and effortlessly authentic. Every image tells a story, and somehow she captures not only how everything looked, but exactly how it felt. Looking through our gallery, we're still in awe. She didn't just document our wedding day, she turned it into a work of art that we'll cherish forever!! UGH SHE IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Documentary Wedding Photography for Couples Who Value Real Moments: A wedding isn't a photoshoot. It's a day filled with moments that will never happen again—a nervous smile before the ceremony, your dad's expression as he sees you for the first time, the hug from your grandmother that lasts just a little longer than expected. Those moments can't be staged, repeated, or recreated. That's why I photograph weddings the way I do.

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!”

Your photos shouldn't just look good — they should feel like that day. I shoot candid and real, then shape the edit around it: deep contrast, muted distractions, and your story right front and center.

“Brady was an absolute pleasure to work with from our very first meeting. He photographed both our engagement session and our wedding, and he captured every moment exactly as we had envisioned. His professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail made us feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. We couldn't be happier with our photos or the incredible experience he provided. We highly recommend Brady to anyone looking for a talented photographer who truly brings your vision to life!”

I’m a high school English teacher, so all of that time I spend wrangling teenagers and getting them to do work helps me out when I’m directing your wedding party for photos. I love being a teacher, and I love the flexibility it gives me to pursue another passion of mine: photography.

“Jason made us feel so comfortable during both our engagement photos, and on our wedding day. His personality allowed us to feel calm all day. He's second shooter, Jeremy, was just as outstanding. Jason's work is full of emotion, love, and talent. Choosing a photographer is very personal, and looking for the style you like can be challenging. Jason listened to what my dream was and was able to deliver just that. Jason's client portal is so easy to use, and allowed us to organize timeline, shot lists, etc. Jason sent us a substantial amount of "sneek peek" pictures the next day!!! Jason was able to customize a package that matched our exact needs & budget. If you are looking for a photographer to capture the quiet moments, Jason is 100% for you. I WILL be recommending Jason & his crew to all of my friends and family. Jason also does mini-photo shoots, family photos, etc.”

hI I'm Julia, a wedding photographer based in the northwest suburbs of Chicago! I've been doing photography since 2023 and truly believe it's the closest thing we have to time travel, which means your wedding gallery isn't just pretty pictures; it's the way you'll relive your favorite day for the rest of your life. I care deeply about telling your story in a way that feels true to you, from the candid glances to the happy chaos to the tiny details you spent months planning. I shoot with intention, always hunting for light and creative angles that make your gallery feel like art. And when you need a little direction, I'm right there with you.

“Julia was amazing! We were both nervous about getting photographed, but she made everything so easy. We first did an engagement shoot with her at Fabyan Forest Preserve in Geneva, IL, which is one of the places she recommended. During the shoot, she was very encouraging and upbeat, gave us a lot of pose ideas and options to find what felt natural to us, and really guided us through the whole thing! She was also flexible with us about going to another location nearby to take shots near where we got engaged. The photos we got from the shoot were faster than promised and we loved them all! After a great experience with our engagement shoot, we were excited for the wedding day. Before the big day, we met together to plan out how the day would go so she was aware of everything in our schedule and vision. She was very conscious about how important the photographer is in how the day goes for the couple and wanted to make it as smooth as possible for us. On the wedding day, she came over to our house for getting ready photos and had so many great ideas for how to capture everything. She was also joined by Francia who was just the sweetest and took film photography which came out so beautiful and artistic which was a touch we really loved! They were so kind to include our 10-year-old niece in some of their early test shots, which she was thrilled about. After the getting ready photos, we went to Peck Farm Park (another recommendation by Julia) to take some couple shots and family portraits. Her and Francia both continued to show up with great pose recommendations and a lot of moving shot pictures which turned out magical looking! We threw a lot at them with our long list of family/friend group pictures, but they were great at keeping up with it to get all the different combinations we wanted within schedule. After the main picture session, we headed to our venue, and they worked well with our small, intimate setup and captured all the best moments of our ceremony. After the ceremony, we walked through downtown Geneva on our way to our dinner location and they found some perfect spots for some final couple shots that also highlighted the feel of the area, which we love! Finally, we ended with some pictures during our dinner / small reception.. Throughout our wedding day, our families made comments to us several times about how great the photographers were, how much they loved working with them throughout the day, and how excited they were to see all the photos. Our whole album turned out truly amazing. We had a great experience working with Julia and Francia and can’t imagine having anyone else there to capture our day! TL;DR: Julia and Francia are amazing. Work with them if you want someone who has great ideas for different shots, makes phototaking feel comfortable and enjoyable, and delivers great work!”

I believe your wedding should feel like a wedding. You deserve to be present for the people, emotions, laughter and little moments happening around you, while trusting that they're being documented beautifully. I'll guide you when you need it, step back when you don't & help create an experience that feels comfortable & natural from beginning to end. The result is a gallery full of intentional images that don't just show what your day looked like - they bring you back to how it felt.

Awarded Best of Zola
“From the very first moment we connected with Lauren at the Wedding Expo at the Grand Rapids Public Museum, we knew we were placing the photographing of the biggest day of our lives in the most-capable hands. Her professionalism, warmth, and incredible eye for detail completely blew us away right from the start. What she delivered wasn't just a set of photos, it was a breathtaking, emotional time capsule of our engagement shoot and wedding day that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. There’s something truly special about a vendor who becomes more than just a part of your wedding team - someone who feels like a trusted friend. From the moment my wife and I connected with Lauren, we knew we had found someone exceptional. Throughout the entire journey leading up to our big day, Lauren was a steady, joyful, and deeply supportive presence. We first worked with her offically during our engagement shoot, and to say we were blown away would be an understatement. The photos were stunning! So beautifully composed, natural, and authentically us. That experience only amplified our excitement for what she would capture on our wedding day. Lauren’s turnaround time is nothing short of incredible. Despite her demanding schedule (a testament to how in-demand and talented she is), she delivered our photos with unbelievable speed and care. We’re still in awe of how quickly we were able to relive the magic of our day through her lens. Her prep work leading up to the wedding was flawless. Working seamlessly alongside our Day-Of Coordinator, Lauren helped us map out a photography timeline that not only made the day run smoothly but also allowed us to be fully present. Thanks to her thoughtful planning and attention to detail, our First Look and post-ceremony portraits unfolded effortlessly - a massive weight lifted off our shoulders. And then came the photos. Every single one radiates with emotion, artistry, and intention. Lauren didn’t just document our wedding, she told our story in the most breathtaking way. Her talent behind the camera is undeniable, but it’s her warmth, intuition, and joy that truly set her apart. If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only at the top of their craft but also brings a glowing, calming, and genuine energy to your wedding day, look no further than Lauren. We feel endlessly lucky to have had her by our side - and now in our hearts.”

I was that kid enchanted by Disney Princess movies and the idea of "true love". My true love revealed itself through photography. At 8, I grabbed my dad's camera and was hooked, thrilled to show people my world. I started with zoo animals, friends, and siblings, eager to freeze moments in time. As I grew, I learned from local photographers and knew by 17 that photography was my calling. Since then, I’ve captured love in all its forms: couples, new parents, best friends, and the joy of seeing your favorite band live. The world is full of magical firsts, and I'm honored to capture these moments forever.

“If I could give more stars… I would. Kaitlyn was truly a dream to work with! Her and her second shooter (Jake) truly felt more like friends than photographers for the day. They fit right into the day and it made our day so much more fun. I will give warning, you will have to be ready to be obsessed with your photos, and look at them about 50 times a day. Definitely not speaking from experience, AND I only have the sneak peak photos (writing this only two weeks after our wedding day). Kaitlyn is a professional but she makes your time with her fun and effortless. She great at communicating with you about what you want from your day, and how she can provide you with the best photos. I am so sad our day is over and I won’t get to see her and work with her any time soon, but trust me, I will be finding more excuses to work with her again. BOOK WITH KAITLYN JOHNSTON PHOTOGRAPHY!!!”

The candid laughs, the silly faces, the big hugs, all of it is there. The video feels like a music video, in the best way possible. I love how every moment feels real, not posed. Even the group shots look natural. My hair and dress looked perfect in every frame, which is a miracle lol. The dance floor shots are my favorite, you can feel the energy. These memories are priceless not only for the bride but for me too.”

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.

“We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.”

From botanical gardens & private estates to small dive bars & industrial lofts ~ wherever we find ourselves, you can trust that we'll artfully capture what will become your cherished memories.

“We absolutely LOVE Mariah and King & Opal! From the start, Mariah was wonderful to work with. Not only is she responsive, organized, and reliable, but her creative eye and photography skills are unmatched! We are beyond thrilled with all the photos we received from our wedding weekend, including candid, detail-oriented shots that really captured the feeling, mood, and ambiance of it all. We cannot recommend Mariah and King & Opal enough. Best decision we made!”

“MSMP Media was the perfect choice for our wedding. Beyond the fact that their editing style was what we were looking for with bright photos, their team was incredible. We had the pleasure of working with their West Michigan Team. Jordan was fantastic and even got me a small birthday gift because my wedding was on my birthday! It was small details like this that really made our experience so great. She was great at getting us ready for photos with great directions. None of the wedding party were huge "photo" people, but she made us feel comfortable to allow for such great photos. Her eye for shots was fantastic. We have gotten so many compliments on our photos from everyone that we have shared them with! Beyond the photos themselves and the actual wedding day, Marisa had great communication. We received sneak peak photos within a day of the wedding and had the entire album less than a month out of the wedding. From what we have been told, this is a great timeline. We are so happy to have booked MSMP!”
