Red Barn Wedding Studio is a wedding photography and wedding cinematography company, based in Chicago, Illinois, dedicated to customer service and exceptional visual storytelling. All our lead wedding photographers and videographers have around 15 years experience in the wedding field, covering and experiencing all kinds of lighting scenarios and true life stories.

We are thrilled with our photos and video from Red Barn! We hired Red Barn for our photos, videos, & photo booth. Our contract stated that everything would be ready 60 days after our event, but Elena sent our full gallery & both videos back to us after only 37 days!! We were SO excited!! Our lead photographer was Bogdan & Elena was our second shooter. Their presence and professionalism at our wedding was excellent. They helped us stay on time, guided us to take the best photos (we are not naturals in front of the camera), and ensured we got every shot that I put on my list! We love the mixed formal and candid photos that they took of us. Bogdan & Elena worked flawlessly with our videographer. We got the highlight video & the full video, they are beautiful & capture our wedding day perfectly! Our guests loved the photo booth & my husband & I love the album that we got of the photo strips! I would highly recommend Red Barn for your wedding photography, videography, and photo booth services!

Hey there! I'm Shannon! I've always been a creative at heart and I'm blessed to have a job that I absolutely adore! I truly love connecting with all of my couples and creating those special memories. Capturing the love between two souls is truly my calling in life. From engagement session to wedding day, I am here for you! I want to be "THE ONE" to tell your beautiful love story!

Awarded Best of Zola
Shannon was absolutely amazing! From our engagement pictures to our wedding photos! She does a great job with communicating and is so flexible. She was someone we had trusted since day one and we knew that our wedding day would go perfect with her capturing it. She made both of us feel so comfortable when it came to taking those awkward pictures but they turned out perfect. On our wedding day, we had some technical difficulties that caused some delays and Shannon was super chill about it. We felt guilty that she stayed a little longer than she needed to make sure she captured the dancing portion at the end of the night. We cannot thank her enough for everything she has done for us and we strongly recommend her to those looking for a wedding photographer.

Megan Saul Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Chadwick, IL

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 did our engagement, boudoir, and wedding photos and I cannot love her or her work more. She is a total artist and captured us, our friends and family, and the vibe of our wedding so magnificently. She worked with everyone so well and provided direction when needed but also just did her thing and the results are beyond gorgeous. Will be working with her for every future event!!

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Erin. She drove nearly three hours to be with us on our wedding day and was so kind, professional, and easy to work with. She made us feel completely at ease and captured everything—from beautifully posed portraits to the sweetest candid moments. What we loved most is her vibrant, true-to-life photography style. Every photo feels full of energy and emotion—like we’re stepping right back into those special moments. She truly captured the magic of our day in a way we’ll cherish forever. We feel so lucky to have had her as part of our wedding and couldn’t be happier with how our photos turned out. If you’re considering booking her—don’t hesitate. She’s incredibly talented and went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable.

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Chadwick, IL

I'm a 35-year-old husband to Samantha, our son Silas, daughter Fiona, and our wiggler companion Moxie. I've been a wedding photographer for 11 years, having photographed over 300 weddings and countless other sessions! My hobby is also my job, and you bet my wife loves that, haha. I am also a stay-at-home dad, a philatelist, a Lego freak, and a craft beer nerd, and we have an orange fridge, haha.

If you are looking for your wedding photographer: stop. You’ve found him. Erik was hands-down our favorite vendor, and I would hire him a thousand times over. From the very first message, his energy, warmth, and passion for his work stood out. When we compared full galleries from other photographers, his absolutely blew us away with every detail, every candid, every bit of light and color was exactly what I envisioned. My dad (a longtime advertising professional) reviewed them too and said, “You’d be crazy not to hire this guy.” He was right. Working with Erik felt effortless. Our engagement session could have been a stressful day, but he and his second shooter, Ross, rolled with everything, made it fun, and delivered stunning images so quickly we were able to use them in our wedding décor and guest book. By the time the wedding came, we felt completely comfortable in front of the camera and Erik felt like another close friend in our bridal party. He was calm, reassuring, and so easy to be around. If I had a question or needed grounding, he was right there with gentle guidance. The final gallery? Absolutely flawless. Every big, emotional moment. Every quiet, unspoken glance. Every little detail I didn’t even notice in real time, all preserved with such artistry that I can relive our day exactly as it felt, only better. Erik has an uncanny gift for being everywhere without ever intruding, for making people feel at ease, and for capturing the heart of a moment in a single frame. My family, my bridal party, even my guests still talk about him months later — not just about his photos, but about him. He’s more than a photographer; he’s a calming presence, a joy to be around, and a true master of his craft. In every lifetime, in every version of this story, I would choose Erik. Booking him was one of the best decisions we made for not only our wedding day, but for the rest of our lives we’ll thankfully have his work! I will forever be grateful that it was him behind the camera on the most important day of our lives.

Holly Johns Photography was the absolute easiest photography vendor to communicate with. Holly is timely, always prepared, and beyond supportive! And her skill with photos speaks for itself. Holly is a true professional, kind, hard working, and excellent at her craft. She contributed so much to our special day - not only did she give us the most stunning photos, but she kept our whole day running smoothly! Holly made sure we had time to eat, drink water, mingle with our families, try the appetizers we wanted, and was so endlessly kind and supportive. It was the best vendor experience I've ever had. If you don't hire Holly, you are MISSING OUT!!! I would recommend her to anyone, and I'm looking forward to continuing to have her capture all of our big life moments.

I'm Courtney! I care not only about providing you with sharp, authentic and colorful images on your wedding day, but helping you to be fully present on your wedding day so you remember all the big and little moments.

Courtney was AMAZING! I found Expedition Joy on instagram when she was doing a giveaway contest for a free Engagement session. To our suprise and BIGGEST BLESSING— we won! When my husband and I met Courtney, we instantly clicked! She was so easy to talk to and made us feel so comfortable so quickly! She was very intentional about building trust with her and having a friendship as well! We had great conversations during our shoot and got to learn about her aswell! After our session, my husband and I both agreed that we NEEDED Courtney to be a part of our big day. We expressed our excitement with Courtney just as much as she expressed hers with us! During the planning months, she was so easy to reach and made us feel confident that she would go above and beyond for us on our special day and she DID. Courtney showed up camera in hand and started shooting the second she walked in the door! She was ON IT. She continued to encourage the bridal party and family so they felt comfortable as she was taking photos. She was so intentional with everyone! Courtney and her second shooter were the life of the party on the dance floor! They had a blast with us and it was so much fun for all of our guests to cheer them on when they went to bust a move in the center circle! Courtney continued her 5-star reputation throughout the night and even went above and beyond to stay past our contracted time for our grand exit! She took the most memorable photos of our day, we will always remeber her when we reminisce on our beautiful photos! She truly is Expedition Joy

Meg Dunn Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Chadwick, IL

Timeless | Romantic | Classic Wedding photographer - I believe in the idea that "great photos are created from personal connection." I put my heart and soul into making sure the couples I work with have the best possible experience and end up with images that we can both be proud of. My favorite part of taking photos is being able to find the special moments within your big milestones. It's those candid times, along with the significance of the occasion, that come together to create your favorite memories and it's my job to capture those through my visual storytelling.

From start to finish, Meg exceeded every expectation. The weather took an unexpected turn during our engagement shoot as it does in Chicago in March- Meg didn’t bat an eye she stayed positive, improvised effortlessly, and made the day stress free. Despite the winds and cold the photos were stunning I actually couldn’t believe it she is truly so talented. The turnaround for photos is quick and she communicates every step of the way. We already got our full gallery of wedding photos and I am just blown away by the moments she was able to capture, I’ve looked at them so many times and I feel like I’m still seeing them for the first time. Her editing style is stunning, it’s clear that she puts so much intention into every photo. I cannot recommend Meg enough!

Ryan Davis Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Chadwick, IL

I photograph weddings for people who'd rather enjoy their day than spend it posing for photos. For more than 15 years I've been documenting the laughter, happy tears, dance floor chaos, and the little moments you never saw coming. My goal is simple: make you feel comfortable, stay out of the way when it matters, and create photos that feel like your wedding, not a photoshoot.

Ryan was great to work with. He went over our timeline before the big day and was open to our weird ideas. We are both a bit awkward when it comes to having our photos taken but that does not come through in the photos. He was able to take our (my) silly weirdness and produce great photos that capture our energy. He was easy to work with and was not focused on directing us. He let most photos happen naturally and it really reflects who we are instead of having stiff, formal photos. We still took formal family photos but his candid shots are exceptionally lovely.

My love for photography began in Rockford, IL, where I discovered storytelling through a lens. Over the years, I’ve captured Midwest landscapes, national parks, and life’s meaningful moments. What started with local events and concerts grew into a passion for weddings and portraiture. I believe the best photos come from genuine connections, so I prioritize building relationships to understand your story and vision. Whether celebrating love, connection, or a fleeting moment, I’m here to calm nerves, share laughter, and capture memories you’ll cherish forever. Let’s create something timeless and yours.

Working with Tyler Yomantas Photography was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. His communication style was easy, efficient, and comfortable, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of his work was truly exceptional - creative, informed, and worth every penny. Tyler is our go-to for everything photography related, as his portfolio speaks for itself. He has an eye for the smallest detail and made every step of the way a comfortable one. With his extensive background and experience, Tyler truly captured all the special moments of our wedding day with care and expertise.

We are Aaron & Lindsey, the husband and wife team that makes up Palette of Light Photography & Video. We are enthusiastic artists with a passion for telling authentic and inspirational stories through art. We specialize in editorial style wedding photography and videography, as well as, family portraiture.

From our very first conversation, we knew Palette of Light was the perfect choice for our wedding videographers. Lindsey and Aaron are an amazing husband and wife team, and from the moment we met them, they made us feel completely at ease. On our wedding day, they were professional, organized, and so easy to be around. It honestly felt like we had friends capturing our day instead of vendors. They blended seamlessly with our family, friends, and all of our other vendors while somehow managing to capture every meaningful moment without ever feeling intrusive. Their attention to detail and ability to preserve genuine emotions is truly incredible. The biggest surprise was waking up the morning after our wedding to find a highlight reel waiting for us. We watched it over and over because it captured the joy, love, and energy of our day so perfectly. It was such an unexpected gift to be able to relive those moments so quickly, and it made us even more excited to see the full wedding film. We have not received our full video yet, but after seeing the highlight reel and experiencing how much care and passion Lindsey and Aaron put into their work, we already know it is going to be something we will treasure forever. If you are looking for videographers/photographers who are not only incredibly talented but also kind, genuine people who truly care about telling your story, we cannot recommend Palette of Light highly enough. They gave us memories we will cherish for a lifetime, and we are so grateful they were part of our wedding day.

I'm Chrissy and I'm a documentary wedding photographer with 10+ years of experience who fully believes that your life deserves to be documented truthfully. My focus at your wedding isn't to steal you away from your family and friends for hours to make "art," but to empathically capture the moments and relationships present at your wedding. Your wedding photos are the single most important wedding investment you'll make. After the day is done and over, they will be what tethers you to your memories of your day. They will be the heirlooms you'll pass down to your grandchildren to hang on walls and sit on bedsides for generations to come.

We loved Chrissy! She was fun and easy to work with, and I loved that she provided color and black/white photos. She did everything on our list, and listened to our ideas as well. Nothing felt forced or over-posed, but she was great at guiding next moves when needed. Will definitely use again for future photos.
