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!

Your story, your love, your vision. At Old North Film Company, we create cinematic wedding films and photography that truly reflect who you are—your style, your personality, your connection. We craft timeless, deeply personal memories, focusing on authentic emotions and meaningful moments. Rather than following trends, we capture the essence of your day with care and intention.

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!
