Hi, I’m Kelsey! I am a wedding photographer! I am obsessed with dogs. I will never not acknowledge a dog near me by saying “puppers”. It is what it is. I would 100% rather be on the beach somewhere with palm trees. I am constantly daydreaming about being in the tropics. I love the color black. If we work together, there is a high chance that will be my outfit color of choice.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kelsey was so easy and fun to work with. She had so many great ideas for different photos and was so easy to communicate with. Our wedding and engagement pictures turned out way better than I could have ever asked for. Would definitely recommend to anyone who needs engagement, wedding or even family photos done.

Mayah is the absolute best photographer in Chicago, and I couldn't recommend her and her team enough! Mayah was the very first vendor I booked when I began wedding planning as after I saw her portfolio I knew she would be able to capture our engagement and wedding photos exactly how we envisioned (and actually infinitely better than what we envisioned). From the first phone call with Mayah I felt confident and at ease that we was the best choice for us, and every text/email/call afterwards was an absolute joy. She is SO creative, genuine, and talented and she makes the photo experience FUN (even if you're camera shy like me and my husband :)). Her photography style seems to capture the uniqueness of each and every one of her couples as she truly takes the time to get to know them and their vision. 10000/10 recommend Mayah Lee Photography for any kind of photo needs you can imagine!

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.

Hey there, I’m Lauren! I’m a wedding and boudoir photographer based in Grand Rapids, MI. I believe your photos should feel like you—natural, honest, and full of emotion. No stiff posing here—just real, unscripted moments that tell your story. I’ll help you feel confident and comfortable, whether it's your wedding day, a boudoir session, or a just-because adventure. Outside of photography, I’m usually hiking, doing Jiu-Jitsu, or traveling with my wife. Let’s create something timeless and unforgettable together!

We all know that hiring vendors for your wedding is stressful, but Lauren was stress free and my BEST choice! She communicated with me throughout the entire planning process and helped me iron out all the details surrounding the big day. As someone who didn’t use a wedding planner, this was huge for me because I had no idea what I was doing. Lauren helped me through this by providing some timeline templates, and answered any questions that came up (even if it didn’t relate directly to photography). Aside from planning, I knew I had made the right choice when we shot our engagement photos. Obviously the final product is why you hire a photographer, but Lauren provided high quality photos AND a great experience! My husband does not like his photo taken and will usually morph into a toddler who throws tantrums when asked to stand in front of a camera for too long - but not with Lauren. We had so much fun shooting with her, she really made it an awesome experience and my husband actually enjoyed himself! For our wedding day we had exactly the same experience, just on a much larger scale. We had a few last minute changes to the plan, and Lauren made sure that for every sacrifice that was made, that there was no detail or photo opportunity missed. She even spent 20 minutes in a broom closet with my mom and I to try to get my bustle buttoned before the dances. Everyone who interacted with Lauren on that day had nothing but great things to say about their experience working with her, and she was absolutely my favorite vendor on my wedding day. Our photos were sent to us before the date they were promised by and they are absolutely PERFECT. We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives! Lauren is phenomenal at what she does, but more than that she is an amazing person. I truly feel like I’ve gained a friend by working with her and I will never use another photographer to capture my memories. I’m so lucky to have found her, and if you get the opportunity to do so I would 1,000,000% recommend it!

Lauren was amazing from our first conversation all the way til the end. As an interracial couple, I was drawn to her photos featuring diverse couples. I loved that Lauren talked about having experience and taking a course dedicated to the lighting/ensuring different skin tones look great in photos (she used professional photographer words but this was over a year ago now haha!) I told her about my insecurities and she ensured me that I would look beautiful and suggested different poses etc that would highlight the features that I wanted. She was on time and took charge of the timeline to keep us on track which I greatly appreciated. The photos are amazing; I can’t decide which is my favorite because it changes every day!

Photography has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. What started as a childhood passion grew into a lifelong pursuit of storytelling through images. I’m based in both Union, Illinois, and Florida, which allows me to capture weddings in a variety of beautiful settings. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m gardening, traveling, or spending time with my partner, Kenny, and our three pets. My work has been featured in many publications, but what truly drives me is creating honest, meaningful imagery for my couples—photos that will live on as part of their legacy.

Megan is amazing. She is a true artist. I have worked with her in various spaces, one in particular that a lot of photographers struggle with because of the lighting, and Megan came back with some of the best, most beautiful, moodiest (chef's kiss) photos I have seen.

Rockton Sanctuary Spa was an absolute dream to work with for our destination wedding (we came to Rockton IL from the Sarasota FL area and they also do destination weddings in FL)! From the very first interaction, their team was prompt, enthusiastic and incredibly helpful in guiding us through all the wedding day beauty preparations. On the big day, they arrived right on time and were so excited to help us look and feel our absolute best. The hair and makeup they provided was truly amazing - and they were able to handle our large bridal party. Rockton Sanctuary Spa went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was perfect, and we are so grateful for their incredible service and value. We couldn't have asked for a better beauty team to be a part of our special day!

We were born from lessons learned by tackling the most important wedding to date; my own. A planner to my core, I never considered the need for assistance when planning and executing my wedding. And while I threw a truly great party, it came at the expense of me enjoying my own wedding. I took away from the experience the hard truth that just because I could, didn’t mean I should, and have turned that into something that I truly love; watching other couples bask in their moment, stress-free. We offer a variety of wedding and honeymoon services with the simple mission of creating beautiful, unique events that feel as good as they look.

Lisa was an absolute dream to work with. From the initial planning, to coordinating all of our vendors, and then of course the day-of timeline, flow, and impromptu problem solving. If you’re anything like me, you’ll be a nervous wreck on your wedding day. Leading up to our big day I was cool as a cucumber so I truly didn’t think I would be, but the anticipation had my anxiety at an all time high. Lisa gracefully reassured me every step of the way. She will do it all for you. She will ensure that every last, tiny detail is perfect. But perhaps even more importantly, she has the warmth of an old friend. I can’t recommend Bisoux Event Co. enough. She made our wedding day incredibly special and for that, I’m so grateful.

I really appreciated the full-service attention to detail from each stylist who came to do hair and makeup for my bridal party and me. Bisi was very careful to style exactly how I wanted for my big day and I felt absolutely beautiful. Each of the other stylists helped to make my bridesmaids look stunning!
