Hi, I'm Abi! I'm an Illinois + Tennessee wedding photographer passionate about capturing your day as it truly unfolds. My approach blends documentary storytelling with gentle guidance, giving you space to be fully present while I preserve the real moments, genuine emotions, and little details that make your day yours.

My husband and I come as a photo team! We feel your day should be captured your way! So we tailor our style and editing to each unique couple! It’s not about us, it’s about you. We will help you document what is most important to you, the way you envision! Just like you, we have felt awkward in front of the camera. We’ve had photos taken of us that we didn’t like. We will make sure you not only feel comfortable, but that you look good! We give you prompts to keep you moving so you look and feel natural and comfortable.

“Where do I even begin with this incredible team... I wish I could give a million stars. We have not stopped talking about Lacie and her husband Tim since our wedding day on 9/26/26, and any conversation about that perfect day eventually circles back to the absolute BLESSING we found in these two. As photographers, they do many things extraordinarily well, but I'll touch on two: first, they are true artists and masters of their craft. I have never met a more in-sync, organized and passionate duo in ANY industry. The lighting, the editing, the colors, the preparation, the posing, the angles... all of the things that make an image BEAUTIFUL and make your photoshoot experience fun and easy, they have absolutely perfected. But secondly (and in my opinion, most importantly), they are natural curators of joyful and special moments. Their happiness for you is pure and infectious, and it translates into photos that are still, yet somehow feel alive. If it's important for you to look at your wedding photos and not only enjoy their visual beauty, but also re-experience all of the feelings and joy and emotions behind them, you have found your team. Lacie and Tim, as stressful as wedding planning was, we would do it all again for another opportunity to work with you. You two are true gems, not as vendors, not as photographers, but as two people who love each other, love what they do and love the people in front of the camera as well. Thank you for going above and beyond for us, we will never forget how special you made our wedding day!!!”

Born and raised in Joliet, IL. but now based in Pontiac, IL my husband and I love to travel all around the state and also out of it.

I’ve been photographing weddings professionally since 2017. I like being the friend in the background taking pictures of you while you take it all in. That's the feeling I like to give my clients, posed and candid pictures.

As a wedding professional of 19+ years, I understand the importance of hiring a photographer you can trust. I've been photographing weddings since 2007 - I LOVE ALL things wedding!

As an experienced wedding photographer who has photographed over 150 weddings in ten states, I've come to love joyful, adventurous couples who adore their friends and family. My couples tend to care most about genuine emotion and tender moments of the day and having timeless, classic, happy photos that will stand the test of time. They can't wait to have a stunning album full of the story of their wedding day to look at for years to come and share with generations. They see the wedding as the start of a beautiful marriage and care more about their marriage than making their wedding a production.

Our photographer, Sarah, did our engagement and wedding photos. She scoped out the best spots for our engagment photos, even with rain earlier in the day. She brought so much energy and flexibility. On our wedding day, she helped stay on time, brought the same energy, and captured all our favorite moments with all our favorite people. She also went to look at the venue and picture locations prior, which was so helpful! Rebecca, our second photographer, was so kind and got all the shots Sarah may have missed. She loved our dog!

Hi, I’m Jovan Kiah — a wedding and portrait photographer based just outside Indianapolis. I’m your personal hype woman, passionate about capturing vibrant, true-to-color moments that feel like you. From big milestones to everyday magic, I’m here to freeze time in a way that’s real, timeless, and joy-filled. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m soaking up motherhood, planning game nights, or enjoying something sweet—because life’s too short not to.

Awarded Best of Zola
“It’s hard to put into words just how amazing our experience with Jovan was! From the start, she took the time to truly listen to our vision and understand our story. We wanted our engagement photos to capture our love story in bloom among the spring tulips, and she brought that vision to life more beautifully than we could have imagined. When we ran into a last-minute hiccup with our original location, Jovan immediately jumped in with alternative suggestions, and we are so grateful she did. The setting ended up being perfect—better than the original location, and the way she tells a story through her photography is simply incredible. Every image captured not just how we looked, but how we felt in that moment. Beyond her talent, Jovan is so fun (lots of laughs), engaging, and easy to work with. She made the entire experience feel natural and memorable. There is truly no one better to trust with your most important moments. We absolutely love our engagement photos and are even more excited for Jovan to photograph our wedding next year! Thank you, Jovan, for capturing this special season of our lives so perfectly. We couldn't be more grateful!”

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me.

But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

“where do i even begin? we were so blessed to have Rachael with us on our special day. we hired Carissa for our wedding photography & chose to have her bring an extra shooter with & BOOM! we somehow got blessed with Rachael as our bonus. i could go on about everything from her amazing personality, the positivity & happiness absolutely exuding from her at all times, her killer taste in music, the sheer talent that is her photography skills (both behind the camera & assisting in posing with such ease), to the way she somehow makes it feel like an old friend is with you every step of your wedding day (even if it’s the first day you met her), wrapping you in her beautiful scarf to keep you warm between photos & the ceremony because you were shivering, & is even willing to join your friends and family on the dance floor amidst capturing the most amazing memories for you. never did i feel rushed, if anything she helped me keep my cool about my timeline & helped ease so much of my anxiety about it. okay, i know what you’re thinking, “amy this seems like an excessive rant for a wedding photographer.” BUT YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND!! our photography was one part of our wedding we were willing to splurge on, & if i hadn’t decided we absolutely needed a second photographer for the day then i would have never been absolutely blessed with Rachael. not only did she capture so many of our posed moments, but more importantly the candid moments that i was too busy spinning around like a maniac to notice & are now some of my favorite pictures. our photographers are one part of our day that i will FOREVER absolutely rave about to everyone & always recommend to future brides because i want them to be able to experience the same beautiful souls & genuinely perfect encounter i got that day. Rachael is the kind of person you want to reach out to when you’re thinking about future photoshoots, & who makes you want to do photoshoots just for an excuse to get to experience both her presence & her absolute talent again. if you were debating hiring Rachael, PLEASE don’t second guess it. you will NOT be disappointed.

Hey, hey my name is Ali. NY-based, but working nation-wide, I'm a wedding photographer who captures experiences, genuine love, authentic characters, and immortalizes precious memories. I focus on visualizing how it felt to live your wedding day, while also crafting editorializations simply for the sake of intentional, living art. I am adamant that everyone, of all genders and orientations, any ethnicity, culture, or faith, all shapes, ages, and abilities, are welcome and I’d be delighted to work with you.

“My husband and I LOVED working with Ali for our wedding at the Picnic House in Prospect Park! She was responsive to all of our questions and quick to answer calls and emails. On the day, she put everyone at ease and corralled everyone to get through the family portraits quickly. She totally captured our vision for the day and we're so happy with how our photos came out! We absolutely recommend working with Ali for your special day.”

“The second we found Debra during our search for a photographer, we knew she was the one for us. The entire wedding planning period, we never had to worry about anything involving photos. If we had any questions or concerns, she replied fast and was so helpful. Our engagement shoot was an amazing and relaxing experience with beautiful photos. On the wedding day, it was very stressful and did not go as planned but that didn’t stop Debra from capturing stunning photos that we will cherish forever. She was very very understanding and comforting when I was struggling through the day and her husband was so go with the flow during the chaotic day as well. I highly recommend her for your wedding!”
