Awarded Best of Zola
“Weddings by Belinda exceeded our expectations in every way. Laura and her husband have a gift for making couples feel at ease in front of the camera—even those of us who typically avoid photos felt comfortable and natural throughout the day. What truly set them apart was their meticulous attention to detail; Laura noticed the charm with my grandfather's picture on my bouquet and my husband's heirloom handkerchief from my mom, ensuring both were beautifully captured. They were constantly moving around the venue capturing moments we hadn't even thought to pose for, and the final photos are stunning. Their communication was responsive and genuinely caring from start to finish, and my family couldn't stop commenting on how thorough they were. I'd recommend Weddings by Belinda to any couple looking for photographers who will treat your wedding day like it's their own. They were the best!!!!”

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.”

“Since day 1, Jake was incredibly easy to work with. He was communicative, professional, kind, and made the entire process feel effortless. We chose a package that included a 1-hour engagement session and brought our pups, Lily & Layla. He was amazing with them and did such a great job incorporating them into our photos. On our wedding day, everything went perfectly. Jake even arrived slightly early to the hotel and immediately sprung into action. From meeting us at our main photo location to guiding us through poses, he made us feel comfortable and confident the entire day. He captured our ceremony and reception beautifully, and even took us out for sunset photos — which I am SO glad he did. We just received our preview gallery and are absolutely blown away by how beautiful the photos are so far. We are beyond excited to see the rest. We truly could not recommend Jake more!”

After earning my degree in Paralegal Studies, I decided it was time to pursue my dream. There’s something about photographing weddings that brings me true happiness. I love capturing the genuine connection between couples on their big day. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m spending time with my family! I have a beautiful little boy and one precious, fluffy dog.

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.

“I genuinely cannot say enough wonderful things about Gracelyn and Molly! They were both absolutely AMAZING on our wedding day, and the previews we’ve received so far are beyond gorgeous. I am already so in love with our photos and cannot wait to see the rest! But what truly sets these two incredible women apart is that they went above and beyond in ways I never could have expected. They didn’t just capture beautiful moments and find the perfect backgrounds, lighting, and shots. They were helping with practically everything throughout the day! From coordinating the guys and keeping them on schedule, to helping me into my wedding dress before our first look, to hooking up my bustle before our first dance, they were there for all of it. And as if that weren’t enough, they even helped arrange our dessert table, making it look like something straight out of a Better Homes & Gardens magazine! They were so much more than photographers that day. They were an extra set of helping hands, a calming presence, and genuinely wonderful people to have by our sides during such an important moment in our lives. I truly could not be happier with our experience. Gracelyn and Molly are both incredibly talented, thoughtful, hardworking women who clearly put their hearts into what they do. 1000/10, a million times over! I would recommend them to absolutely anyone. Thank you both for helping make our wedding day so beautiful and unforgettable!”

“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've always loved taking pictures and for as long as I can remember, without even trying that hard. Everyone in my life was always telling me I take such perfect pictures, until one day I believed them. As an adult, it started with my own dogs: every Christmas I'd take their holiday pictures because they're cute and I had a camera. Somewhere along the way it became a real business. I'm in Kankakee, Illinois,, I'm easygoing and a little silly, and now I photograph weddings, families, maternity, and pets with a warm, unposed style that catches the little moments people actually keep. I'm small and I like it that way ! it means every session gets all of me, and your photos get treated like they matter, because they do.

“We were loved having Abby capture our wedding reception! Abby was excited about our day and communicated everything clearly, making the whole planning process smooth and stress-free. She showed up early to photograph all the small details we'd worked so hard on, and stayed late into the evening to capture every moment beautifully. One of our favorite photos happened when Abby caught a frog for us and turned it into one of the most unique and hilarious pictures from our reception. Her work is stunning with gorgeous lighting throughout, and every image is crisp and clear. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer.”

Hi, I’m Amyth - guy behind the lens, and I’ve loved photography ever since I was a kid using my dad’s SLR camera. Whether it was with an old digicam, my trusty Canon 550D, or now with the amazing Canon R5, every photo I took made me love photography even more. I don’t stick to just one type of photography. I love capturing all moments, whether it’s a wedding, a proposal, a newborn’s first days, family get-togethers, portraits, fashion shoots, everyday life, or even your pets. Your moments deserve to be captured with care and creativity. Let’s make some beautiful memories together. 📸

“On the wedding day, Amit was calm, organized, and incredibly attentive. He captured every detail—from the emotional moments during the church ceremony to the vibrant joy of our celebrations with family and friends.

Hey love, I’m Kara - your Nikon-loving, sunset-obsessed photographer and wedding cheerleader! When my sister got engaged in 2010 and I invested in my first camera, I started to experience the joy of documenting love stories as I photographed her engagement session - my very first session. From there, things grew quickly and now my husband and I photograph 20+ weddings a year together! When I’m not photographing weddings throughout Chicagoland, you can find me snuggling our puppies Georgie + Jett, lovin’ on my family, spoiling the littles in our life as Auntie Kara, gardening in our backyard, and exploring breweries with my husband Kyle.

“Kara is one of our favorite photographers to work with, and we have nothing but great things to say about her work!”

Welcome! I'm Brooke. I am so glad you're here. Grab a coffee, pull up your favorite chair and stay awhile. Catch up with the latest right here on the blog! My passion as a photographer comes from my love of art, creating memories, and my mother. In 2016 my mom passed away from Leukemia. My number one supporter, motivator, and overall most important person in my life was taken away from me way too early. Now all I have left are pictures.

“I cannot recommend Brooke enough!! She was such a pleasure to work with for both engagement photos and the wedding day. Her work is BEAUTIFUL!!!”

Hi, I'm Jordan! Wedding & Portrait Photographer based out of Chicago, Indiana, and Wisconsin. But I love to travel if I am given the opportunity to do so! I have been in the business for nearly six years. I fully serve my clients since it is my passion to make sure my clients look and feel their best while working with me, while also creating deep friendships and connections throughout the process. I taught myself everything that I need to know about being a business owner and photographer. I continue to grow my knowledge, education, and equipment! I am blessed to be able to say that I am living out my dream and passion.
