We got married 11/01/2025, perfect for a fall wedding. We chose George Street Photo for the quality and pricing that we saw. We couldn’t have asked for a better team, 2 photographers and a videographer. All were the perfect combination of professional and personable, adding their own touches to our ideas made everything turn out so much better than we imagined. Getting to work with our head photographer for the engagement photo session made things even better since we got to meet her in person ahead of time and understand her photo style and it let her know us better before the wedding day. Communication was so easy with our team and was always in a timely manner. The website made it easy to create our timeline and share it with our team along with all the ideas we had for different moments throughout our wedding day.

We have also been so happy with the photos we've seen and can't wait for the rest. It ended up being very warm in Chicago on our wedding day.

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!

Zach was absolutely amazing to work with! We were quick to book with him after clicking so well at our first meeting. We booked an engagement session separate from the wedding booking and were so glad we did! He provided great direction and conversation, helping two socially awkward folks feel comfortable and look like superstars. He was on time and professional for our wedding day, taking care to make sure we covered our photo list and suggesting a few shots that wound up as some of our favorites. He returned our images exactly on schedule and WOW! We were blown away! The photos exactly capture my memory of the wedding day. We would hire Zach again in a heartbeat!

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! They feel like close friends by the end of the day. I am documentary-style, in that I never stop shooting. 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have a lot to say here so let me do a TLDR: if you’re here reading this review it likely means photography is important to you. And if that is true, please just book Emily (Hello Rose Photography) because it should be illegal how amazing she is. Send the message as soon as you possibly can. Like right now. Please. The long version: Emily is an INSANELY AMAZING photographer. Color, posing, vibe, attitude, patience, EVERYTHING. Photography was on my top 3 non negotiable list for me, truly the most important thing next to having our dog at our wedding. Leading up to our wedding, I would randomly see her photos and be like ‘omg those are beyond gorgeous I hope my photos look like that’ and then I’d notice it WAS HER. Validation I never knew I needed. If you’re on the fence, just do it. She’s the kindest, gentlest soul and it truly put us at such ease. And she meshed so well with our quirky sense of humor. She also had the patience of a saint with our high energy doggo and capture the actual cutest photos of her. She captured love I’ve never seen between us (it’s hard when you’re looking at your person but it’s even harder for someone to be good enough to capture it). Her candids are literally the best I’ve ever seen. Of me and my dog, me and my friends, my husband and his friends, idk she’s just INSANELY GOOD. I love candids, if you’re a candid person WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR. I promise, I will bet everything on it, you will absolutely not regret spending a single penny on Emily. Honestly, she should charge more. We also had the ABSOLUTE pleasure of working with Bridgid on our wedding day. She complimented Emily so well and truly, I didn’t feel like we had 2 photographers they were so supportive and in tune with each other. Bridgid also found us funny and loved our doggo too. She even threw her the tennis ball. These ladies work so well together that I truly could not tell you who took which photo. SEAMLESS. I truly missed their presence, outside of photography, when they left for the day. These angels probably still don’t know the impact they had on us but one day I hope they see this review and know how important they were (and are) to our day.

I was that kid enchanted by Disney Princess movies and the idea of "true love". My true love revealed itself through photography. At 8, I grabbed my dad's camera and was hooked, thrilled to show people my world. I started with zoo animals, friends, and siblings, eager to freeze moments in time. As I grew, I learned from local photographers and knew by 17 that photography was my calling. Since then, I’ve captured love in all its forms: couples, new parents, best friends, and the joy of seeing your favorite band live. The world is full of magical firsts, and I'm honored to capture these moments forever.

My husband and I can't recommend Kaitlyn enough. From the booking process, our engagement shoot, through the wedding itself Kaitlyn was thoughtful, professional, and attentive to our preferences and requests. She even drove 3 hours to do our engagement shoot in Wisconsin and was able to film our ceremony on her own! Her sneak peek the next day made us so so happy, and she got every photo on our list, including some out of order or spontaneous based on how the day went. We couldn't have been happier with Kaitlyn's services! Rachel & Alex

If you’re still on the hunt for a photographer and you come across Wendy, look no further. Wendy is the most down to earth and genuine vendor I’ve worked with. She is so personable and easy to talk to, having pictures taken by her instantly felt like it was with someone I already knew. The turn around time on our engagement pictures was unbelievable, in a good way. I noticed something I wasn’t crazy about (too critical of myself) and she changed it right away, no questions asked. Her work with lighting is fantastic and she captured exactly what I was looking for. So incredibly grateful to be working with her.

Hi! I'm John, a wedding photographer based in Chicago, IL. I believe deeply that great wedding photography is about creating imagery that is as visually compelling, as it is emotionally significant. Weaving the images together to tell unforgettable stories. My distinct 'documentary meets fine-art' style is a product of my unrelenting commitment to my craft and the complete trust that my couples place in me. I primarily cover weddings in the Chicagoland area, but I will travel to any destination worldwide for those seeking an adventure.

John Foley is THE photographer you need for your wedding! From the moment my mom, now husband, and I met him & after seeing his work, and the awards his work has received - we knew we wanted him to document our special day. John was kind, professional, and very organized. He worked so well in the space given to him (it was not big while getting ready) & still the pictures came out beautiful. He knew how to direct people and quickly take portraits. But also was very sneaky and I didnt notice him unless he was directly asking to take a picture. Most importantly - he goes out of his way to make the picture happen. I lost my father 4 months before my wedding & forgot to take a picture I had in mind between the hustle & bustle - he was able to photoshop/create an image that truly looks like he took it. John is your man - TRUST ME
