Digital + Film Wedding Photography Hi! I'm Emma, owner and lead photographer of Emma Mullins Photography. Our goal is simple: to capture your vibe, your people, and your love in a way that looks and feels true to life. We just wrapped our 13th Chicago wedding season, and it's been a whirlwind of all things real and fabulous! Emma Mullins Photography embraces diversity and inclusivity. We are a proud ally of the LGBTQ+ community and happy to serve humans of every background, gender and identity.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are huge fans of Emma! Here are 5 reasons she should also be your wedding photographer: 1. Emma is incredibly nice and was so generous with wedding organizing wisdom. She helped us feel more confident about the thousands of small details in the entire process, from our first Zoom meeting with her to the engagement photo shoot to the final shots on our wedding day 2. She is incredibly thorough as a communicator. We never had any question about what she needed or what she was doing before, during, or after the ceremony. And she was even very communicative via email with our moms(!) 3. She is so organized but also so creative. She kept our wedding day smooth by planning out all the posed shots needed, and she got all photos back to us in an always impressive timeframe. But she was also always open for a surprising shot or a little experiment. It made her work feel even more personal 4. She was a rock star on our wedding day, if you couldn’t tell. And she was a super fun hang during our engagement photo session, which featured Emma, my wife, and I improvising playful shots during a sudden rain storm(!) 5. Most of all, when she’s taking photos of you, her excitement in that moment fires you up more and makes you feel so comfortable. She makes you feel like your pictures are the best wedding photos ever taken. (But ours were, obviously)

When looking for a wedding photographer, we were looking for several qualities… We wanted someone that has an upbeat and outgoing personality to help us and our wedding party get re-energized throughout a long day, listens and follows through with our preferences, creates high quality photos, guides us on what to do for poses, and gets creative with the different styles of photos - Audrey was exactly all of these, and so much more. We purchased the package that included engagement photos and she provided us with an extensive amount of both engagement and wedding photos. There are countless photos that take our breath away, which hasn’t made it easy to decide what photos we want to get to hang in our home. If these are the qualities you are looking for in a photographer, Audrey is your person! She also has a great team that shares similar qualities and is along her side on wedding day.

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn't be more grateful for Zach and his work! I had a million things running through my mind on our wedding day, and making sure we captured every moment was a priority. Zach assured us to not even think about photos, that was his job! His energy was calming and grounding! We got to live in our day and see it beautifully captured after. He was communicative, kind, and delivered exactly what we wanted. I highly recommend him and hope to hire him again for more of life's moments.

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.

He was amazing to work with and truly captured the magic we felt that day! Since our wedding, Randy has captured all the special moments for our growing family and we are so grateful!

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.

Fuller Photo Co. is a queer, woman owned photography studio specializing in documentary style wedding photography since 2016. Offering film and digital! My number one goal is to create a relaxed and fun atmosphere, where you feel safe and supported while being photographed. I love focusing on color, fun and real candid moments in my work. Nontraditional wedding plans are my absolute favorite. The more true to you and more unique that your wedding plans are the better!

Booking Jordan as our wedding photographer was one of the easiest decisions we made! From the moment we first met with her, we knew she was the perfect fit for us! She's creative, warm, easy-going, flexible and super talented. We've been to weddings where the photographer is just kind of...in the way! And Jordan was the complete opposite. She's not your traditional wedding photographer, in the very best way. We are not the kind of couple who wanted a ton of super posed photos, and that is totally her style. She worked with us to make sure we got all of the shots we wanted, but the best part about her is how she documented the day in a completely organic way, capturing all the little candid moments and creating posed moments that felt natural to us. She's also just an awesome human and was so fun to have around throughout the day! Her easy-going demeanor made us feel at ease, especially as people who aren't super comfortable in front of a camera. Can't recommend her enough!!

Hey there! I’m a weddings and couples photographer based in Chicago, IL with my partner Emily and my rescue dog Daxter. I’m here to document joy and celebrate all the meaningful moments with the kickass people that find me.

Working with Sam and his team was one of the best decisions we could have made with wedding planning! He really took the time to get to know us as a couple and our vision, was an absolute blast to work with, and delivered the most beautiful photos. Not only is Sam amazing, but he also works with wonderful people and was able to pull in a second photographer, Aidan, last minute (a HUGE ask during peak wedding season) when we decided we wanted a bit more coverage. Sam and Aidan were both incredibly creative and fun to spend our wedding day with. They also put us at ease when nerves ran high and recognized when we needed a breather. Our guests raved on how much they loved Sam and Aidan, too! We of course loved the portraits but were also so impressed with the candids which captured so many precious moments that we otherwise may have missed. Overall, if you're looking for a fun, thoughtful, creative photographer who also happens to be a wonderful human being, look no further than Sam Schultz Photography!

I've been documenting weddings for 15 years! Your wedding will have so man quick and candid moments, and that's what I'm there for. The spontaneity. The honesty. The "beautiful" vs the "pretty". Hearing things like "Wow, we didn't even know that happened!" or "This is the best picture of my Grandpa I've ever seen," is what keeps me fired up year after year! I believe everyone deserves to feel welcomed, honored, and free to express their love for each other. I proudly support and celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community along with all cultural backgrounds and traditions!

As a same-sex couple, we weren't sure how different vendors would feel about working on our wedding. From the first interaction, Ryan was welcoming and inclusive - how amazing! We had an intricate wedding day with high church, a theater performance, and the traditional dinner/dancing/toasts. Ryan rolled with all the details, capturing each one. Even better? He and his assistant faded into the background ... our guests commented that they never even noticed a photographer being there, never felt blocked or intruded upon. When we got the results, our hundreds-of-photos were chock full of "how did they get THAT shot?" kinds of reactions. Amazing. Ryan's pictures are so fantastic, we would consider getting married a second time, just so we could hire him again.

*****The best way to reach me is to fill out the inquiry form on my website!***** As a documentary-style photographer, I love to emphasize connection, texture, and authentic emotion. Being a former actor who found a deep love and passion for wedding photography, I'm most drawn to the art of storytelling while creating honest and original work. I strive to make my images fully represent my couples in every way possible. I'm goofy, fun, and always create a deep connection with my couples to ensure their big day is captured with passion + care.

We are so happy we chose to work with Madi for our wedding photos and was one of best decisions we made. We immediately liked her on the first call as she was just easy to talk to and really took an interest in learning about our story. We could tell she had amazing organization skills, and her photography was exactly what we were looking for when it came to our wedding. She was friendly and personable and provided easy communication. She was very flexible, tolerated our need to bring our dogs into both the wedding and the engagement photos, and made us comfortable during the photography process. At our wedding, she was on time, and SO on top of things that I really didn't need to worry about anything getting done. She was on it and coordinated everything so seamlessly. She not only is excellent in her photography skills, but helped so much in establishing our timeline and sorting out what was actually feasible for the day. We really appreciated her expertise. I fully trusted her in the process and knowing that definitely took stress off of us. The best part, is she is just an awesome human!! I highly recommend Madi for your wedding!!

My name is Kate Scott Daly, and I can't wait to meet you! I'm a Chicago native and have been a professional photographer for nearly a decade. I am obsessed with capturing the perfect moment that will make you gasp and say "Oh my god, this is amazing!" Being a queer woman, it is so important to me that you feel safe, loved, and beautiful every step of the way. If you're looking for someone you can relax with and just be yourself, you've found me! Let's face it: it can be awkward being in front of a camera. Even I feel nervous sometimes! I understand that anxiety and will do everything I can to make you feel fabulous!

We cannot recommend Kate enough! From the moment we met her, she made us feel completely comfortable and celebrated our love with so much enthusiasm. As a queer couple, it was important for us to work with someone who not only respected but truly celebrated queer weddings, and Kate went above and beyond. She took the time to help us clarify our vision for our wedding photos, which was especially helpful since we only had 6 weeks to plan our wedding and felt a little overwhelmed by the process. She was a great guide and we immediately knew we were in good hands! Kate’s associate Ryan shot the photos on our wedding day and they captured every special moment—from the big emotional vows to the smallest, most intimate glances—with such artistry and care. The photos are breathtaking, full of life, and truly reflect the joy of our day. Right when Ryan arrived, they jumped in with capturing photos of small details and worked to capture everything we wanted for our special day. Kate and Ryan were both an absolute delight to work with—professional, fun, and incredibly talented. If you're looking for a photographer who will make you feel seen, respected, and celebrated while delivering stunning photos, look no further. We are beyond grateful for Kate and Ryan and will cherish these photos forever! Thank you for making our wedding memories so magical!

From my first moment as a wedding photographer, I knew I wanted to kick tradition to the curb. I was tried of seeing wedding photography that excluded the communities that I hold closest. I work hard to form a real connection with each of my clients to craft an experience that captures their unique spirit.

I found Unabridged Photography while looking for documentary/photojournalistic style photographers for our Chicago wedding. As soon as we talked to Ashley, we looked no further. Throughout the entire process they were collaborative and communicative. Our engagement shoot felt like meeting up with a friend. We were able to blend more editorial portraits with a candid depiction of our day. Ashley never makes you feel like any shot or maneuver is hard even as they are running behind you with four cameras strapped to their body- and you appreciate having every format. The result of that effort was an array of photos, both glamorous and understated, like nothing I've never seen, and something I could have pulled from my parents' wedding album. Not only an incredibly talented photographer, Ashley had great suggestions for shooting locations and is knowledgeable of what the city has to offer (and even suggested the bar where we hosted our Welcome Drinks!!). We opted out of having video at our wedding for several reasons, so the stakes for the photography were pretty high. Ashley's images made our wedding with nearly 200 guests feel intimate and look like a rager. You spend a lot of your wedding day with your photographer regardless of how posed your day is, and you can only hope that they are as warm, chill, and likeable as Ashley.

Roman Lorek Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, they were great communicators - open, honest, and responsive to all of our questions and requests. Their work is truly high quality, with an artistic and beautiful style that captured all the special moments of our day. They went above and beyond, making thoughtful suggestions and recommendations that helped make our wedding day even more perfect. Roman and Anastasia were friendly, professional, and made the entire photography experience easy and stress-free. They also did a "family" engagement shoot ahead of our wedding, which was the most fun I had ever had taking photos. Could not have been a better experience all-around! We would highly recommend Roman Lorek Photography to any couple looking for a talented and dedicated wedding photography team.

Hi, I'm Daniel! I'm a Chicago-based artist and photographer. I love sharing stories of love, almost as much as I love creating art - that's why I do my best to merge the two in each story I tell. While I call Chicago my home these days, I am *more* than willing to travel to your neck of the woods - just ask!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Daniel! From the very first conversation, it was clear that he genuinely cared about getting to know us as a couple and understanding our vision for the day. His warm, friendly energy made us feel completely at ease—like we were working with a longtime friend rather than a vendor. Our photos were beyond stunning and we could not have been happier with them! My sister ended up hiring him for her wedding a few years later as well. And yep, Daniel crushed it again. If you want someone who’s very talented and a genuinely great person to have around on your big day, go with Daniel. You won’t regret it!
