We loved working with Melissa! She is laid back, has a great personality, and so easy to work with. Her style was just what we were looking for... more in-the-moment versus a lot of posed photos. We loved our engagement pictures and can't wait to see the wedding album. Cannot recommend her highly enough!

Hi, I’m Kelsey! I am a wedding photographer! I am obsessed with dogs. I will never not acknowledge a dog near me by saying “puppers”. It is what it is. I would 100% rather be on the beach somewhere with palm trees. I am constantly daydreaming about being in the tropics. I love the color black. If we work together, there is a high chance that will be my outfit color of choice.

Kelsey is amazing!!! We got married in January and did photos outside. Everyone was freezing and Kelsey made the experience fun, and didn’t complain about the cold once! She was so easy to work with and got along with our wedding party so well. Everyone loved her! Our photos are absolutely stunning and I am still obsessing over them a year later! I highly recommend Kelsey for all of your big life events that you want beautifully captured!

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Mae was an absolute pleasure to work with. I knew I liked her from the very first call. She was thorough and asked good questions to make sure she could capture what we wanted. I love the vintage-inspired look of the photos and video. She communicated when she said she would and I always received a quick response to any questions or messages I had. On the wedding day, I couldn’t imagine anyone who would make it as special as Mae did. She was more than a photographer- she helped me put on myself shoes, hyped up all the little details I stressed months over, and was just such a joy. I cannot recommend Mae enough. I loved all the photos and the video made me cry. Mae is the type of person you want to be friends with after everything is done. Trust me, book Mae!!

As a married photography duo with over 14 years of experience and 600+ weddings documented, we specialize in creating true-to-life/timeless imagery that tells your unique love story.

Our couples are modern romantics with impeccable taste -valuing experiences, personal touches, and, of course, their beloved furbabies!

WOW, where do I begin. Kasey and Tyler are masters at what they do! From two different engagement sessions to our wedding day, they knew exactly how to get the "perfect shot". Our wedding day came with a small amount of "conveniently timed" rain (during our first look and wedding party photos!), and they knew exactly how to work with what we had (a tall tree to hide under and an umbrella..). The attached photo was taken during a downpour rain and it STILL looks beautiful!! They were incredibly organized and all photos were pre-planned so they had a set plan in order to avoid wasting time. They listened to what my husband and I wanted, and made sure we were taking care of ourselves (eh-hem, reminding us to eat multiple times throughout the day..). They were so easy going but didn't have a problem putting their foot down if a random family member or other vendor were "problematic" (per the brides request!!). I cannot wait to work with them again! THANK YOU Kasey and Tyler for being the best in the business!!! 3

I am the heart and soul behind Dakota Layne Photo. Based in western Wisconsin, my love for photography started as a seven-year-old girl as the flower girl in a family wedding and has now become an extension of who I am. I approach my clients from a place of empathy - understanding who they are, what is important to them, and how I can bring their story to life in a significant and meaningful way.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment I inquired with Dakota, she was prompt. We instantly jumped on a call and we literally talked for a hour! I instantly knew she was going to be our photographer! Throughout the planning process, she consistently reached out to check in. Her thoughtful and uplifting voice messages were such a light midst the stresses of wedding planning. I would get so excited when I saw her name pop up on my phone, her bubbly personality and genuine care in her messages meant everything to us!! Our engagement photo day was a scorcher--95 degrees and pure sun!! But Dakota made the absolute best of it, even as we took breaks to cool down. Despite the sweat and crazy heat, our photos turned our magazine worthy--seriously stunning!! In the weeks leading up to the wedding she checked in almost daily, which was so reassuring. Her online website and questionnaire were very thorough and incredibly helpful. At one point, I even called her to vent about a difficult wedding situation (that had nothing to do with her), and she listened and reassured me through it all! She is truly a wedding industry professional!! On our wedding day, her presence was incredibly pleasant and everything flowed perfect. We fell a bit behind due to hair and makeup, and she continued to reassure me that we would be just fine. Her photography style is absolutely stunning, with great attention to detail that captured every important moment for us. We received our sneak peeks just a day or two after the wedding which was one of my favorite memories ever!!-- getting to reminisce on the stunning photos with my now husband on our first day of our honeymoon. It meant the world to us! The full gallery was delivered within the timeframe discussed in our contract as promised, I even had a few questions about different angles and additional photos and she delivered on all of my requests. Her gallery website was very easy to use and share. Overall we had a 1000/10 experience with having Dakota as our wedding photographer. Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, but she is also so personable and was one of the best decisions and investments we have ever made! When it is your special day, you want to be surrounded by the absolute best, and that is Dakota!!

Bonnie is such a gem, we had so much fun working with her! During our engagement shoot and wedding day, we were constantly laughing and just having a ball, she made us feel completely comfortable. Bonnie is chill, down-to-earth, friendly, and so much fun. She had great suggestions and was down with our ideas, too. We're extremely appreciative of her communication, transparency, and flexibility, and we can't wait to hopefully work with her again for family photos! Could not recommend her highly enough, she's the best!

Hi, I’m Anne, and I fell a little in love with wedding photography somewhere between the quiet moments and the happy chaos. Not just the photos, but the entire experience of your day, the nerves, the laughter, and being fully present with the people you love most. With a decade in the industry, I’ve learned that great photos come from great experiences. I go beyond showing up with a camera. I’m here to support you through planning and be a calm, grounded presence on your wedding day, so your photos feel honest, elevated, and deeply personal.

Cree La Vie Studios was an exceptional choice for our wedding photography. From our very first interaction, Anne’s responses were timely, thorough and she provided a sense of calm to all of our questions.On the day of the wedding, she seamlessly blended into the background when needed and she was able to direct people when needed as well! Anne helped keep the day running smoothly. The quality of her work is phenomenal - the photos have a moody, saturated color palette that captures the emotion of the day beautifully. She was exactly what we were looking for! We received our sneak peek so quickly, I can’t wait to see the rest! They were to die for - absolutely everything we wanted and more.Our guests were so impressed that they were even naming the photographers by name! I would wholeheartedly recommend Anne and the Cree La Vie team to anyone looking for fabulous wedding photography.

We're Dom & Nelena, a husband-and-wife documentary wedding photography and film team based in Illinois. 8 years. 200+ weddings. And we still get excited for every single one. We photograph with intention. Not to document every detail, but to preserve what matters most your relationships, your energy, your presence within it all. We're drawn to the emotional undercurrent of a wedding day: the subtle, unscripted moments that hold the most meaning.

Nelena and Dom took photos at my rustic/modern wedding at cider mill in Princeton, Illinois. Once the four of us met, my husband and I loved how easy it was to speak to Nelena and Dom and how they immediately understood where we were coming from. As introverts we wanted a photographer with a larger-than-life personality, someone who would find candid moments on our day and Andreoni Photography really brought the fun. I can’t stress enough how truly wonderful our experience was. The two of them worked so well together. They brought so much excitement and fun when capturing photos of our wedding party. Nelena and Dom were always so responsive to my many questions and concerns I had. I could expect a response from either of them within 24 hours and usually much quicker than that. The first time my now-husband and I saw the photos, we melted! We had a date night and snuggled up on the couch, and loaded the photos onto our big screen. It truly felt like we were back on our special day. We loved the unique poses and fun and intimate moments Andreoni photography captured. I had no idea our small town wedding could look so incredibly beautiful. The finished photos ooze class, sophistication and refinement.

A little about me - I’m Casey, the photographer behind Chasing Lilies Photography. I’m based out of Neenah, WI but LOVE to travel! I have been specialized in wedding photography for over 14 years now. I'm happiest capturing love & intimacy. I have an amazing husband, a blended household that includes 5 children & a crazy dog! I love people & value nurturing relationships. I'm a sucker for interior decorating, gardening and all you can eat sushi.

When planning a wedding, there are so many overwhelming choices to make. And with any person, they are going to advertise the best of the best of what they've done. So even though you may think their flowers, photos, videos, etc. are great, what if they're having an off day or don't pick up your personalities well enough to give you what you've dreamed. I wanted to put in all the work before the day so I didn't have anything to worry about on the day in hopes of avoiding any disappointment. Being an anxious person, I wanted to be able to trust every person we chose wholeheartedly to enjoy our experience. All this to say, Casey set the bar extremely high. Besides my senior photos, I hadn't really had any professional photos taken, so I was nervous right off the bat for our engagement photos and didn't quite know what to expect. Casey has this way of bringing the best out in people and the photos just happen to capture it. Her talents create photos that can be admired for years and generations, which is everything I could have ever wanted. Her professional, warm, yet joyful personality creates an environment where your only worry is not tripping over your own feet because you're having so much fun.
