I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

My partner and I hired Sean for our engagement photos and we were extremely impressed! He was super helpful in helping us pose and very skilled in the ways he used lighting to capture our best features. He captured really genuine moments with such skill. He also made sure the job was well done and he got all the photos that we could have wanted. We had a blast working with him! The photos are stunning and I genuinely can’t stop looking at them! My partner and I tend to feel awkward getting our picture taken but Sean created such a comfortable space for us. We would highly recommend booking Sean.

As a wedding planner, I have the privilege of working with many talented professionals—but The Still Life stands out as one of the most exceptional photographers I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with. From the first email to the final image delivery, they were an absolute dream. Professional, calm under pressure, and incredibly attuned to the energy of the day, The Still Life brought a quiet confidence and refined artistic vision that made both the couple and the vendor team feel completely at ease. Their background gives their wedding work a distinctive edge—every frame feels intentional, intimate, and beautifully composed. They have an incredible ability to capture not just moments, but mood—the softness of a floral detail, the emotion in a glance, the quiet magic between all the big moments. Our couples & clients are always absolutely thrilled with the results, and the photos were nothing short of stunning. As a planner, I can also say they were a joy to work alongside: punctual, communicative, and incredibly respectful of the timeline and flow of the day. If you're a couple looking for timeless, artful imagery—or a fellow planner seeking a photographer who elevates every event they’re part of—I can’t recommend The Still Life highly enough.

Audrey was the photographer for our wedding in March and I could not recommend her more highly!! The planning process was easy - she guided us through all of the big decisions before our big day and helped us pick a shooting location outside of our venue. I probably should have opted for an additional hour, but Audrey went above and beyond to make sure we got all of the shots we wanted within a short amount of time. I'm not normally comfortable taking photos but Audrey was a great director and made me feel so comfortable. The photos were gorgeous and really captured the love and specialness of the day. And the cherry on top was that she was affordable! Thanks so much Audrey for everything!!!!

A cinematic eye. --- A bleeding heart. --- An inclusive spirit. --- I've picked up a camera just about every day since I fell in love with photography in 2013. Though every shoot holds something unique, it takes a lot to catch me off guard after a decade in business. I pride myself on my ability to quickly connect with my clients, making them feel comfortable, cared for, and confident that they look great. Being a helpful and calming presence in the midst of your wedding is second nature to me. Basically, I try to treat people how I want to be treated: with fairness and understanding!

Awarded Best of Zola
Zach did such an incredible job shooting our city hall wedding! Having shot several similar ceremonies in the past, he was familiar with the space, knew exactly which moments to capture and where to get the best shots, and he even got there early and saved us a spot in line. After the ceremony and group shots were done, my husband and I spent an hour adventuring around the loop with Zach to take some couples shots. He has a tremendous eye for photography locations, and he captured beautiful moments of us by the riverwalk, under the L, and inside the cultural center. The entire experience felt very natural and so fun -- it was a huge highlight of the day. He got our pictures back to us at lightning speed, and they're all gorgeous. I'd recommend him to anybody. Thanks again, Zach!

Hi there! I'm Emily Rose, the sole photographer + editor of your wedding photos! I have been shooting weddings for a decade and love connecting with my clients as much as I love photographing them!

While I help with posing during portrait sessions to make sure you look your best, I also love capturing the laughter of guests, the teary-eyed parents, the flower girl running up to you and hugging you at first sight, the tiny details, the real smiles you share with your spouse + the quiet, intimate moments between you two throughout the day.

PHOTOS YOU CAN FEEL! We believe in the magic of the unscripted—the belly laughs, the happy tears, and every quiet vibration in between. Our documentary-style approach allows your day to unfold naturally. We capture your story in its most organic form—focusing on real interactions without stiff, awkward posing. If you’ve been searching for a blend of artistry and authenticity, you’ve found it.

I looked at a LOT of wedding photographers. There are a lot of people out there who do beautiful photos, but none really felt like a fit for us -- either the photo style was moodier/sexier than I thought we could pull off, or the price was too steep for the amount of hours we wanted to have the photographer available, or photos felt too “posed” and cookie-cutter. Then we found Randy. The first thing I noticed about Randy’s portfolio is that people were smiling and laughing. You’d be surprised how few photographers feature photos that look joyful! The second thing I noticed is that photos weren’t all the same; different couples had different looks and styles. I felt like I was learning something about the couple by their photos. When we contacted Randy, we discovered that his work was not only in budget, but that his pricing included a full day of wedding photos – no matter how many hours the day lasted! Our package included engagement photos, wedding photos, a small album, and we added a photobooth for the wedding day. Our engagement session and wedding ended up being two years apart (thanks, COVID) and Randy did an incredible job with both! The engagement shoot gave us a great sense of how Randy works and got us accustomed with posing. What I most appreciated was the fact that Randy caught the moments in between the poses – where my husband and I were laughing with one another or sharing a special moment. For the wedding photos, Randy joined me a little bit before 9 am and was with us until the reception ended at 11 pm! He had a second photographer there during most of that time, as well. I really wanted to capture the joy of finally being able to be together with family and getting to celebrate. After nearly three years of being engaged, I was determined to make the day as stress-free as possible and just enjoy myself. Randy picked up on our joyful, relaxed mood right off the bat and gave us the photos of our dreams! Our photos are bright and colorful (although he picks wonderful photos to do in B&W) and full of laughter, big smiles, and happy tears. Every part of the day is beautifully captured, but we are especially fond of the candid joy in our reception pictures. He got such wonderful shots of our guests that we sent everyone a photo in their thank you cards! If you want wedding photos that feel like you, your partner, and your loved ones, I cannot recommend Randy enough. He is professional, easy to work with, and so talented. We are so grateful to have found him!

From the start, Wendy showcased her flexibility on photography styles She brings a great energy to the pursuit of capturing perfect candid moments while also listening to couples’ visions on more scripted shots.

Wendy has great experience in the Chicago area, bringing past experience with areas, locations, and venues to her craft.

Fuller Photo Co. is a queer, woman owned photography studio specializing in documentary style wedding photography since 2016. Offering film and digital! My number one goal is to create a relaxed and fun atmosphere, where you feel safe and supported while being photographed. I love focusing on color, fun and real candid moments in my work. Nontraditional wedding plans are my absolute favorite. The more true to you and more unique that your wedding plans are the better!

Jordan is excellent. My husband and I don’t love being the subject of pictures, particularly posed ones, and Jordan found ways to capture us naturally that made us shine. Her directions and suggestions never felt phony. Looking back through our wedding photos these few years later, I’m even more impressed by her ability to catch such beautiful moments—glances, laughter, shared joy—between us and our guests. Jordan had a way of blending in while still being a part of the group and at our small wedding, I had several guests comment on how wonderful she was. Leading up the wedding, Jordan was also so organized and thorough, without adding to the overwhelm that is wedding-planning and they have been incredibly thoughtful in the years that have followed. I find myself often thinking of occasions to hire her again and would recommend them over and over to anyone.

We had such a wonderful experience using Jolie Images for photography on our wedding day as well as for our engagement session. It was great working with our photographer, Daniel! He was fun and friendly and helped make our day go well. Daniel called the week before so we could go over all requests, locations and details. He was extremely polite and professional and kept everything on schedule. We have seen a 'sneak peek' and can't wait to have the completed edited package sometime soon. Although the studio is large, Jolie offers the option to review photographer's portfolios and give a list of top choices for photographers. They eliminate the fear of someone being sick or unavailable on the event day. Pricing is very competitive and includes many things we didn't find elsewhere. We are looking forward to having an completed album and choosing the images and layout, as well as owning all images for future use.

  • Serves Cicero, IL

I've been documenting weddings for 15 years! Your wedding will have so man quick and candid moments, and that's what I'm there for. The spontaneity. The honesty. The "beautiful" vs the "pretty". Hearing things like "Wow, we didn't even know that happened!" or "This is the best picture of my Grandpa I've ever seen," is what keeps me fired up year after year! I believe everyone deserves to feel welcomed, honored, and free to express their love for each other. I proudly support and celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community along with all cultural backgrounds and traditions!

Choosing a wedding photographer can be a daunting task, but luckily Ryan makes the process easy! Ryan has a unique eye and documentarian yet editorial style that truly captures not only the beauty of the day, but the feel! From initial consultation through the very last moments of the party, Ryan was warm, friendly and professional. He expertly directed our large combined family, who can be a bit a wayward, through a brilliant series of portraits in a remarkably short period of time. He was so patient when plans changed and even had some spontaneous ideas for some amazing shots that we had not even planned for. He also payed great attention the details that captured our style choices. Both my husband and I can be a bit self conscious about photos but we felt at ease the entire time and we love how we and all of our guests look in the pictures! The photos were so vibrant, well composed and really conveyed the emotion and joy of the event. Don't hesitate, Ryan Moore is THE GUY! We will definitely call upon Ryan for future photographic needs. Additionally, as an event industry professional, I have added him to my preferred vendor list and highly recommend him to my clients!

*****The best way to reach me is to fill out the inquiry form on my website!***** As a documentary-style photographer, I love to emphasize connection, texture, and authentic emotion. Being a former actor who found a deep love and passion for wedding photography, I'm most drawn to the art of storytelling while creating honest and original work. I strive to make my images fully represent my couples in every way possible. I'm goofy, fun, and always create a deep connection with my couples to ensure their big day is captured with passion + care.

Everyone stop what you're doing and hire Madi Ellis right now. She was such a joy to work with. Madi helped us every step of the way, and captured our day beautifully.

My name is Kate Scott Daly, and I can't wait to meet you! I'm a Chicago native and have been a professional photographer for nearly a decade. I am obsessed with capturing the perfect moment that will make you gasp and say "Oh my god, this is amazing!" Being a queer woman, it is so important to me that you feel safe, loved, and beautiful every step of the way. If you're looking for someone you can relax with and just be yourself, you've found me! Let's face it: it can be awkward being in front of a camera. Even I feel nervous sometimes! I understand that anxiety and will do everything I can to make you feel fabulous!

We cannot recommend Kate enough! From the moment we met her, she made us feel completely comfortable and celebrated our love with so much enthusiasm. As a queer couple, it was important for us to work with someone who not only respected but truly celebrated queer weddings, and Kate went above and beyond. She took the time to help us clarify our vision for our wedding photos, which was especially helpful since we only had 6 weeks to plan our wedding and felt a little overwhelmed by the process. She was a great guide and we immediately knew we were in good hands! Kate’s associate Ryan shot the photos on our wedding day and they captured every special moment—from the big emotional vows to the smallest, most intimate glances—with such artistry and care. The photos are breathtaking, full of life, and truly reflect the joy of our day. Right when Ryan arrived, they jumped in with capturing photos of small details and worked to capture everything we wanted for our special day. Kate and Ryan were both an absolute delight to work with—professional, fun, and incredibly talented. If you're looking for a photographer who will make you feel seen, respected, and celebrated while delivering stunning photos, look no further. We are beyond grateful for Kate and Ryan and will cherish these photos forever! Thank you for making our wedding memories so magical!

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.

There is nothing more anxiety-producing than choosing which photographer to document your event and my partner and I couldn't be happier with Megan. She has a great eye for detail and composition resulting in beautiful, professional, flattering(!), and intimate photos. She's highly conscious that she is creating memories and her photographs reflect her thoughtfulness. She captures the smallest details and interactions while still managing to get the "big picture" too. Megan listens to all concerns -however big or small- while making the process smooth, fun, and as low-stress as possible. She is extremely fair when it comes to price and you receive far more than you are paying for! I highly recommend her services. Photographers are like physicians, they need to be able to put you at ease while being both personable and professional and Megan Saul fits the bill. Our happy event was in early January of 2020. Check her out!
