He has a gift for capturing the moments that matter most—the quiet glances, the genuine smiles, the love that words simply cannot describe.

“Weddings by Belinda exceeded our expectations in every way. Laura and her husband have a gift for making couples feel at ease in front of the camera—even those of us who typically avoid photos felt comfortable and natural throughout the day. What truly set them apart was their meticulous attention to detail; Laura noticed the charm with my grandfather's picture on my bouquet and my husband's heirloom handkerchief from my mom, ensuring both were beautifully captured. They were constantly moving around the venue capturing moments we hadn't even thought to pose for, and the final photos are stunning. Their communication was responsive and genuinely caring from start to finish, and my family couldn't stop commenting on how thorough they were. I'd recommend Weddings by Belinda to any couple looking for photographers who will treat your wedding day like it's their own. They were the best!!!!”

What started out as a hobby, evolved into a great passion. With a camera on hand for every event, I spent my lunch money as a young kid developing films at the photo store. I became so fond of capturing as many organic moments as I can in photographs and fell in love with the idea of telling people's stories in images rather than words. I started venturing into professional photography right after my own wedding to my high school sweetheart, Erick, which was back in 2014. I LOVE everything wedding-related. My favorite to photographs are the wedding details, the bride and groom portraits and anything that will make me either cry or laugh!

“We are forever grateful we chose Michelle as our wedding day photographer. From the planning to the wedding day she was prepared & made everything so easy. Our engagement photos & wedding photos are perfect and she captured our story just the way we envisioned even including our perfect puppy Maui. She made sure to get all the important shots day of wedding & went above and beyond the entire day making sure my husband and I didn’t don’t forget any important photos. We received our entire wedding gallery so quickly after the wedding. Michelle is beyond professional and truly makes sure your wedding is photographed just the way you want.”

“Jake is so much more than a wedding photographer—he’s a true visual storyteller. Every photo he took is filled with emotion, intention, and artistry. Looking at our photos now, I’m instantly transported back. He captured not only the big moments but also the quiet ones: stolen glances, joyful guests, the delicate details of our table settings. He saw everything without ever being in the way—so calm, so observant, so low-maintenance that we barely noticed him, yet he gave us the most complete and beautiful memory of our wedding. His attention to detail and his ability to see the full picture and the tiny moments is truly special! Jake made us feel totally comfortable in front of the camera, never forcing poses or interrupting the flow of the day. Instead, he brought our photo ideas to life with his own artistic touch—elevating them beyond what we imagined.

I’m Gracelyn, the face behind the camera and someone who truly cares about the people in front of it. I picked up my first camera at 9 years old, photographing my siblings and creating little photoshoots just for fun. After rediscovering photography post-COVID, I instantly felt that same joy and knew this was my dream. I photographed my first wedding two years ago and am now stepping into my first full season. My style is light and airy, blending documentary storytelling with true-to-life portraits, capturing both meaningful details and emotional moments.

“Touch of Grace felt more than a professional wedding photographer. She felt like a friend throughout the whole process. We were very comfortable and she was very accommodating in every twist and turn that comes with a wedding. She even stayed extra time to capture our cake cutting! We gave her our images and she was able to quickly navigate between each one efficiently. What makes Touch of Grace so special is the final editing. We were taken back at the marvelous work and attention to detail. Thank you Grace for capturing our special day and giving us everlasting memories!”

Leading up to our wedding we met with Moira to go over timeline and she helped to make sure we would have enough time allocated for everything we wanted.

I've always loved taking pictures and for as long as I can remember, without even trying that hard. Everyone in my life was always telling me I take such perfect pictures, until one day I believed them. As an adult, it started with my own dogs: every Christmas I'd take their holiday pictures because they're cute and I had a camera. Somewhere along the way it became a real business. I'm in Kankakee, Illinois,, I'm easygoing and a little silly, and now I photograph weddings, families, maternity, and pets with a warm, unposed style that catches the little moments people actually keep. I'm small and I like it that way ! it means every session gets all of me, and your photos get treated like they matter, because they do.

“We were loved having Abby capture our wedding reception! Abby was excited about our day and communicated everything clearly, making the whole planning process smooth and stress-free. She showed up early to photograph all the small details we'd worked so hard on, and stayed late into the evening to capture every moment beautifully. One of our favorite photos happened when Abby caught a frog for us and turned it into one of the most unique and hilarious pictures from our reception. Her work is stunning with gorgeous lighting throughout, and every image is crisp and clear. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer.”

Hi, I'm so glad you're here! I'm a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in the Chicagoland area. I love capturing the real, unscripted moments that make your wedding day yours. The happy tears, the nervous excitement, the big celebrations, and all those little moments you might not even notice happening. My approach is relaxed, natural, and focused on making you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I want you to enjoy your wedding day, be fully present, and trust that I'm capturing it all as it unfolds. More than anything, I want you to look back at your photos years from now and remember exactly how it all felt. I'd love to hear your story and be a part of your day!

“Amazing wedding photographer. I recommend Casandra to everyone. Very responsive, organized, and always took the time to answer all of our questions.On the day of the wedding, she was so calm and her coordination kept everything running perfectly :) thank you again!”

Hi and congrats on your engagement! I’ve been in the wedding industry for a while now, and I love photographing weddings! I look forward to seeing all the creative ideas and details that each couple brings to their big day. I love the excitement, the emotion, and the craziness that comes along with it; my job is to photograph it ALL!

“Highly recommend! She was great to work with and ensured both sides of the family were equally captured. Tracy made sure all desired family photos were done in a timely manner. Our couple photos were perfect.”

Hey love, I’m Kara - your Nikon-loving, sunset-obsessed photographer and wedding cheerleader! When my sister got engaged in 2010 and I invested in my first camera, I started to experience the joy of documenting love stories as I photographed her engagement session - my very first session. From there, things grew quickly and now my husband and I photograph 20+ weddings a year together! When I’m not photographing weddings throughout Chicagoland, you can find me snuggling our puppies Georgie + Jett, lovin’ on my family, spoiling the littles in our life as Auntie Kara, gardening in our backyard, and exploring breweries with my husband Kyle.

“Kara is one of our favorite photographers to work with, and we have nothing but great things to say about her work!”

Welcome! I'm Brooke. I am so glad you're here. Grab a coffee, pull up your favorite chair and stay awhile. Catch up with the latest right here on the blog! My passion as a photographer comes from my love of art, creating memories, and my mother. In 2016 my mom passed away from Leukemia. My number one supporter, motivator, and overall most important person in my life was taken away from me way too early. Now all I have left are pictures.

“I cannot recommend Brooke enough!! She was such a pleasure to work with for both engagement photos and the wedding day. Her work is BEAUTIFUL!!!”
