Awarded Best of Zola
I highly recommend this company to take photos at your wedding! We loved our photographer Percy. He was incredible, and so helpful. He came with several cameras and valued all of our ideas, and when we became stumped he offered ideas for us to try as well. He was very professional, kind, caring, and always on top of the game taking photos. Towards the end of our night he started to put the camera away and brought it back out to catch a few final moments. He was on top of responding to all questions before, during, and after. He took photos of me and my husband before the ceremony and got some wonderful shots (it was a 95 outside wedding so this was much appreciated because we all had some sweat on our faces). But before we got Percy and our booking process with eivans it was super simple, and just an overall great experience.

IG PHOTO VIDEO INC. was the perfect photographer (we had two photographers and one videographer) for our wedding day. From the start, their communication was receptive and responsive, with quick replies to our emails. The quality of their work was excellent - the photos are clear and crisp, with a wide range of styles captured. Ivan and Tae, the two photographers, and Svitlana, the videographer, were all a pleasure to work with. They asked thoughtful questions to understand the specific details we wanted captured and helped facilitate smooth coordination with the bridal party. The price was very reasonable for the great quality photos and video they delivered, which perfectly documented all the small details of our special day. We're thrilled to have 50 4x6 prints to cherish, as well as a USB with all the photos and videos.

Here at Studio 7 we like to focus on giving clients quality product with an artistic approach. As well I like to provide a satisfying customer experience. I have been doing photography since 2008.

We didn’t plan on have a photographer due to our budget, but we ended up changing our mind at the last minute. We were afraid that we wouldn’t be able to afford it, but Studio 7 was exactly what we needed. They responded right away, and I explained our financial situation, and they were so kind to work with what we had. They traveled for our special day, and captured all of our important moments. Even after our agreed time had ended, we had requested they stay an extra hour or 2, and they didn’t even hesitate! Very kind and lovely people. They even captured our post wedding shoot in the city, and couldn’t ask for a better experience!

Hey there! I’m Sheena! Your go-to wedding photographer, hype girl, professional chaos wrangler, timeline planner, dress fluffer, & so much more! I have been capturing love stories for a little over 10 years now and I wouldnt have it any other way. Being alongside couples during one of the most meaningful seasons of their lives is my passion. You’re not just a client. You’re someone I’m genuinely cheering for. My couples often tell me I feel more like a longtime friend, and that’s exactly how I like it. I’m big on communication, making you feel comfortable, & helping your day run smoothly so you can actually be present without the stress.

Awarded Best of Zola
Sheena This was undoubtedly a match made in heaven. The moment one of the clients at the shop overheard my conversation with another client about how stressed I was about not being able to find a photographer for my upcoming last-minute wedding, I almost lost hope of ever finding a photographer until she suggested I look up Sheena Pinkerman. Before I contacted her, I first and foremost looked up her profile page and checked out her work to see if she would be someone that fits in with my personality and creativity. Well, lo and behold, I fell in love with her work the moment I saw it, and this was before I even spoke to her over the phone. When I finally did talk to her over the phone, she made me feel like I'd known her for years. Sheena was very communicative, informative, and understanding from the start, even when I was still unsure of what I wanted. She was extremely helpful and easily accessible when it came to addressing my numerous questions and concerns. She's essentially an all-in-one package, offering the perfect combination of creativity, skills, and expertise. Furthermore, she works with another photographer, Andrea, providing the added benefit of two photographers for the price of one. If you also book Lawrence for your videography, that's an additional bonus, as these three professionals work together seamlessly. They were so impressive that I'd consider having another wedding just to work with them again. I love Sheena and I know you won’t be disappointed if you book her for your wedding.

  • Starts at $4,800
  • Serves Crete, IL

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Michelle was the best choice my wife and I made during our wedding preparations. Her photos are stunning. True professionalism, skill, and a keen eye for capturing those happy moments. But best of all, she has a warm personality which made working with her feel easy. She was able to photograph our Indian wedding with such class, that these memories will remain with us forever.

Along with my partner, our house is full of love with four boys, three cats, and dog. I like to create art, make things with my hands, work with plants in a garden, go on hikes, explore the world, talk one-on-one with people, and I like to laugh.

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. If you’re looking for someone who will give you timeless, meaningful, and artful photos while letting you fully experience your wedding day—Jake is the one.

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.

Grace was absolutely amazing to shoot with! She took the time to contact me before the shoot to ask me for inspiration of what poses I wanted to do during our session. She was so kind and patient with us throughout the whole thing. We even did an outfit change and she was so accommodating! I will absolutely be booking again with her this year.

I can't even begin to describe how absolutely amazing and wonderful our experience was with Moira! When we first contacted Moira she called us to go over our questions, and her services, it was so nice to be able to have a conversation about what we wanted and what she would provide! In the time leading up to our engagement shoot, I had changed my mind on location multiple times and Moira was extremely understanding and helped my vision come to life! We took our engagement pictures at the public library where I met my (now) husband and even took some pictures in the rain at our favorite park! Moira worked thru the downpour and got some AMAZING shots! 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. On our wedding day Moira was punctual and extremely amazing to work with! We had to move some things around timeline wise and it all worked out beautifully. Our pictures are absolutely INCREDIBLE. I'm obsessed with them and she captured our day perfectly. I hope this review helps with your decision to pick your photographer, and I would HIGHLY recommend working with Moira, she is the best of the best!

We originally contacted Beauty By You because she had gorgeous portfolios and was a budget-friendly option! We loved her during our included engagement session as she had multiple poses planned, listened to my Pinterest inspirations, made us feel comfortable, and found the best “golden hour” lighting as requested even after the rain settled down! She was very integral with our wedding day planning as she helped figure out what time sunset photos would be and when to start the ceremony based on this! On the Wedding day, Her and her second photographer communicated very well together and made us feel like models the entire day! They worked very well with our videographers which could have easily been chaotic! To our surprise, my husband and I received the sneak peeks 12 hours after our reception ended! They were stunning! Recently just received our whole wedding day photos only 2.5 months later and they are exceptional! Truly priceless! Would love to highly recommend Beauty by you for any family or wedding photography!

I’m Elena, a Chicago-based wedding photographer devoted to capturing weddings with a blend of editorial elegance and heartfelt photojournalism. My work is inspired by the quiet glances, the gentle hand squeezes, the joyful tears — the fleeting, honest moments that become the memories you carry for a lifetime.

I guide you when needed, but I never over-direct. The result? Images that feel natural, refined, and effortlessly beautiful

Her communication style was very communicative, prompt, respectful and charismatic, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of her work was truly outstanding - she captured our wedding in a spontaneous, creative, visionary and passionate way. Elena understood from the beginning that we were very easygoing, and everything went so smoothly, we couldn't have asked for anything better.
