“I worked with Winterlyn this past weekend for a wedding at The Rookery and she was incredible. Her professionalism and kindness throughout the entire process blew me away. She gave so freely of her time and attention. She joined us for the final walkthrough to ensure she understood the couple's vision, she gave them some beautiful pieces that we were able to use for their flat lay and detail shots and all day long she worked so hard to ensure that the day went smoothly for them and that they got the photos they had been dreaming about! When it seemed like the Photo Booth we had hired was not going to show up, she quickly helped me come up with a Plan B and offered to help take photos of the guests and the props so that the guests and couple would still get the pictures they had intended. I was stunned by her generosity all day long. Winterlyn is the kind of photographer who deeply cares about her clients and couples and I hope to work with her again and again. I am so incredibly grateful for her and her talent. Beautiful inside and out!”

“I don't even have the words to tell y'all how amazing Jayde is. We are SO grateful we reached out to Jayde back in 2022 for our engagement shoot and immediately knew we needed to hire her for our April 2024 wedding. From the very beginning, Jayde was super professional, patient, and on top of it, not to mention SO friendly and warm. She made me and my husband feel so special and comfortable in front of her camera, and our entire bridal party loved her too. She created a seamless timeline for the day that worked so well and she made sure we were on time all day. The photos truly speak for themselves. She has an amazing eye and we are obsessed with her editing style. She surprised us with over 100 (!!!) previews the next morning and they were INCREDIBLE - we were blown away and shocked that she could turn them around that quickly. We are so so so excited to see our full gallery soon. Don't hesitate to book Jayde - she's truly a gem in the Chicago wedding industry. We can't wait to find another reason to book her!”

“From start to finish, H Photography made our wedding day feel effortless. They stayed in constant touch before the big day and listened to exactly what we wanted, then delivered on every single request. During the ceremony and reception, they came up with creative shots we hadn't even thought of, capturing moments that made our day feel truly special. The final photos are stunning and we can't stop looking at them. Best of all, their pricing was fair for the quality we received. We'd recommend H Photography to any couple looking for a photographer who is responsive, skilled, and genuinely invested in telling your love story.”

I'm Sydney, the photographer behind Sydney Marie Photography. Based in Grand Rapids and serving couples throughout Michigan and Chicago, I’ve been photographing weddings since 2012 and have documented more than 300 celebrations. My approach blends natural, candid moments with gently guided portraits to create imagery that feels timeless, refined, and true to each couple. From the first conversation to the final gallery, I provide a high-touch experience so you feel supported, present, and able to fully enjoy every moment of your wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Aside from getting married, choosing Sydney Marie Photography was the best decision we made regarding vendors. Sydney kept us in the loop throughout the entire planning process - sometimes we needed that extra communication and we appreciated it more than we expected. We scheduled an Engagement Session to get to know her in person first and get comfortable with the camera and it was so worth it because not only did we get incredible shots, we also got to know her on a personal level which helped guide all conversations and interactions leading up to the wedding. Engagement photos came back quick, and we loved what we saw. She even came into town to do the venue walkthrough with us and see our hotel getting ready space which was above and beyond what we expected her to do. It didn't matter that she was based out of Michigan - she knew Chicago and the wedding scene so well, and was availble for anything we needed. Her years of experience shined through in helping us plan photo locations and curating the perfect timeline and shot list. We felt ready for the big day thanks to her. On the day of our wedding, she had this natural ability to capture moments as they happened while staying flexible enough to try new ideas we threw her way. She genuinely felt like part of our celebration rather than someone hovering in the background. Sydney guided us when we needed direction but mostly let our love and joy shine through in every shot. We are already obsessed with our sneak peek and cannot wait to see the whole album. We are moving to Michigan later next year (where she is located) and will definitely be keeping Sydney in mind for any future photoshoots our life may bring our way. Who knew a photographer could make or break how everything came together? Sydney was certainly our glue. We cannot recommend her highly enough.”

Awarded Best of Zola
“We booked her for our June 2026 wedding, and from the moment we met during our engagement photos, we felt completely comfortable in front of her camera. She has such a genuine way of connecting with people that every session felt effortless and fun. On our wedding day, she went so far beyond taking beautiful photos. She kept us on schedule, helped brainstorm a solution when my dress needed a quick fix, placed my veil perfectly before key moments, and even stayed late so we could capture photos in my second dress. She was photographer, coordinator, problem-solver, and cheerleader all in one. Going above and beyond isn’t something she does occasionally—it’s simply who she is. Bare minimum is not in this woman’s vocabulary. It takes someone truly special to build a meaningful connection with every couple, and that connection shines through in every single photo she delivers. Looking through our gallery, we don’t just see beautiful images—we relive exactly how each moment felt. Booking Mayah was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. If you’re considering her or anyone on her team, don’t hesitate. It’s an investment you’ll be grateful you made for years to come.”

I fell in love with photography because I believe the most meaningful moments are often the quietest ones - and the most fun ones, too. Becoming a mom taught me just how fast time flies and how powerful it is to freeze love in a single frame. On your wedding day, I’m there for the happy tears, the belly laughs, the stolen glances, and the dance-floor chaos. With an intuitive eye and a calm, joyful presence, I capture your day as it truly feels - real, romantic, and full of life - so you can relive it long after the cake is gone.

“I found my wonderful wedding photographer Jade Tirado on Facebook by posting and asking for referrals. She was recommended by numerous people. Jade took the time to meet with me months before our wedding date to go over every aspect of our day and how she would handle it. She kept in close contact over the months and made sure to make me feel comfortable that our weddings pictures would be beautiful and she was true to her word and then some! Jade handled everything the day of the wedding and I didn’t have to worry about a thing!! She took amazingly beautiful pictures of my wedding and went above and beyond to make sure she got just the right pictures at just the right moments. She even brought her talented daughter with her to help out at no extra charge. Before our ceremony we took pictures outdoors and our ceremony was also held outside. Let me not forget to mention what troopers they both were as June 22nd, 2025 had record breaking temperatures that day!!! I highly recommend Jade Tirado if you’re looking for professionalism, great communication, absolutely beautiful pictures and the pleasure of dealing with a genuinely sweet human being.”

Every frame is designed with you in mind, ensuring your wedding memories remain as true and beautiful as the day itself.

“Old North has been incredible to work with! Everyone was really warm and they were a great presence at our wedding. We also LOVED the outcome of their work!! The only feedback we had is there was a small amount of unexpected, last-minute changes during the meetings leading up to the wedding, and there was subsequently some lack of preparation that went into those meetings. It was something that caused us slight worry leading up to the wedding, but Old North lived up to our expectations and created an amazing event. We would definitely recommend them in the future!”
