  • Serves Malta, IL

Red Barn Wedding Studio is a wedding photography and wedding cinematography company, based in Chicago, Illinois, dedicated to customer service and exceptional visual storytelling. All our lead wedding photographers and videographers have around 15 years experience in the wedding field, covering and experiencing all kinds of lighting scenarios and true life stories.

We are thrilled with our photos and video from Red Barn! We hired Red Barn for our photos, videos, & photo booth. Our contract stated that everything would be ready 60 days after our event, but Elena sent our full gallery & both videos back to us after only 37 days!! We were SO excited!! Our lead photographer was Bogdan & Elena was our second shooter. Their presence and professionalism at our wedding was excellent. They helped us stay on time, guided us to take the best photos (we are not naturals in front of the camera), and ensured we got every shot that I put on my list! We love the mixed formal and candid photos that they took of us. Bogdan & Elena worked flawlessly with our videographer. We got the highlight video & the full video, they are beautiful & capture our wedding day perfectly! Our guests loved the photo booth & my husband & I love the album that we got of the photo strips! I would highly recommend Red Barn for your wedding photography, videography, and photo booth services!

Megan Saul Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Malta, IL

Photography has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. What started as a childhood passion grew into a lifelong pursuit of storytelling through images. I’m based in both Union, Illinois, and Florida, which allows me to capture weddings in a variety of beautiful settings. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m gardening, traveling, or spending time with my partner, Kenny, and our three pets. My work has been featured in many publications, but what truly drives me is creating honest, meaningful imagery for my couples—photos that will live on as part of their legacy.

Megan did our engagement, boudoir, and wedding photos and I cannot love her or her work more. She is a total artist and captured us, our friends and family, and the vibe of our wedding so magnificently. She worked with everyone so well and provided direction when needed but also just did her thing and the results are beyond gorgeous. Will be working with her for every future event!!

Hey there! I'm Shannon! I've always been a creative at heart and I'm blessed to have a job that I absolutely adore! I truly love connecting with all of my couples and creating those special memories. Capturing the love between two souls is truly my calling in life. From engagement session to wedding day, I am here for you! I want to be "THE ONE" to tell your beautiful love story!

Awarded Best of Zola
Shannon was absolutely amazing! From our engagement pictures to our wedding photos! She does a great job with communicating and is so flexible. She was someone we had trusted since day one and we knew that our wedding day would go perfect with her capturing it. She made both of us feel so comfortable when it came to taking those awkward pictures but they turned out perfect. On our wedding day, we had some technical difficulties that caused some delays and Shannon was super chill about it. We felt guilty that she stayed a little longer than she needed to make sure she captured the dancing portion at the end of the night. We cannot thank her enough for everything she has done for us and we strongly recommend her to those looking for a wedding photographer.

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Erin. She drove nearly three hours to be with us on our wedding day and was so kind, professional, and easy to work with. She made us feel completely at ease and captured everything—from beautifully posed portraits to the sweetest candid moments. What we loved most is her vibrant, true-to-life photography style. Every photo feels full of energy and emotion—like we’re stepping right back into those special moments. She truly captured the magic of our day in a way we’ll cherish forever. We feel so lucky to have had her as part of our wedding and couldn’t be happier with how our photos turned out. If you’re considering booking her—don’t hesitate. She’s incredibly talented and went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable.

  • Serves Malta, IL

I'm a 35-year-old husband to Samantha, our son Silas, daughter Fiona, and our wiggler companion Moxie. I've been a wedding photographer for 11 years, having photographed over 300 weddings and countless other sessions! My hobby is also my job, and you bet my wife loves that, haha. I am also a stay-at-home dad, a philatelist, a Lego freak, and a craft beer nerd, and we have an orange fridge, haha.

If you are looking for your wedding photographer: stop. You’ve found him. Erik was hands-down our favorite vendor, and I would hire him a thousand times over. From the very first message, his energy, warmth, and passion for his work stood out. When we compared full galleries from other photographers, his absolutely blew us away with every detail, every candid, every bit of light and color was exactly what I envisioned. My dad (a longtime advertising professional) reviewed them too and said, “You’d be crazy not to hire this guy.” He was right. Working with Erik felt effortless. Our engagement session could have been a stressful day, but he and his second shooter, Ross, rolled with everything, made it fun, and delivered stunning images so quickly we were able to use them in our wedding décor and guest book. By the time the wedding came, we felt completely comfortable in front of the camera and Erik felt like another close friend in our bridal party. He was calm, reassuring, and so easy to be around. If I had a question or needed grounding, he was right there with gentle guidance. The final gallery? Absolutely flawless. Every big, emotional moment. Every quiet, unspoken glance. Every little detail I didn’t even notice in real time, all preserved with such artistry that I can relive our day exactly as it felt, only better. Erik has an uncanny gift for being everywhere without ever intruding, for making people feel at ease, and for capturing the heart of a moment in a single frame. My family, my bridal party, even my guests still talk about him months later — not just about his photos, but about him. He’s more than a photographer; he’s a calming presence, a joy to be around, and a true master of his craft. In every lifetime, in every version of this story, I would choose Erik. Booking him was one of the best decisions we made for not only our wedding day, but for the rest of our lives we’ll thankfully have his work! I will forever be grateful that it was him behind the camera on the most important day of our lives.

From the moment we first contacted Forest City Photographs, we were impressed by their attentive, warm, and professional communication. Joel and his team have an incredible eye for capturing precious, genuine, and timeless moments. On our wedding day, Joel (and Tyler!) managed to beautifully document the most vulnerable and special moments, transporting us back to the best day of our lives every time we look at the photos. The value they provided is truly priceless, and we couldn't be happier with the incredible work they delivered. We are absolutely blown away. You can clearly tell from their work as well as a single conversation with them, that they LOVE what they do and they pour their passion into these photographs. The amount of gratitude we have for Forest City Photographs is immeasurable!! ️ We would choose them a million times over and over again!

I'm Courtney! I care not only about providing you with sharp, authentic and colorful images on your wedding day, but helping you to be fully present on your wedding day so you remember all the big and little moments.

Courtney was AMAZING! I found Expedition Joy on instagram when she was doing a giveaway contest for a free Engagement session. To our suprise and BIGGEST BLESSING— we won! When my husband and I met Courtney, we instantly clicked! She was so easy to talk to and made us feel so comfortable so quickly! She was very intentional about building trust with her and having a friendship as well! We had great conversations during our shoot and got to learn about her aswell! After our session, my husband and I both agreed that we NEEDED Courtney to be a part of our big day. We expressed our excitement with Courtney just as much as she expressed hers with us! During the planning months, she was so easy to reach and made us feel confident that she would go above and beyond for us on our special day and she DID. Courtney showed up camera in hand and started shooting the second she walked in the door! She was ON IT. She continued to encourage the bridal party and family so they felt comfortable as she was taking photos. She was so intentional with everyone! Courtney and her second shooter were the life of the party on the dance floor! They had a blast with us and it was so much fun for all of our guests to cheer them on when they went to bust a move in the center circle! Courtney continued her 5-star reputation throughout the night and even went above and beyond to stay past our contracted time for our grand exit! She took the most memorable photos of our day, we will always remeber her when we reminisce on our beautiful photos! She truly is Expedition Joy

Timeless | Romantic | Classic Wedding photographer - I believe in the idea that "great photos are created from personal connection."

Hi! I'm an editorial wedding and portrait photographer based in Illinois, but I'm willing to travel anywhere with you. I've been in the industry for 5 years and have really found a love for weddings. Van Horn photography is owned and run by me, Melissa Van Horn. My fiancé does videography as an add on option and we are getting married this Fall 2026!! So we can relate to the stress of weddings. We are here to help out anyway we can. I can't wait to hear about your wedding and how I can help bring your vision to life.

Melissa from Van Horn Photography is so nice and easy to work with. Her communication was clear and organized, which made everything feel stress-free leading up to the big day. During our wedding, she had great ideas for shots, gave us solid direction, and made sure we got all the photos we wanted. She even helped re-curl my hair to make sure I looked my best in every frame. Melissa's work is intentional yet still feels organic and natural, which is exactly what we were looking for. We felt super comfortable around her the whole time, and we couldn't be happier with how our photos turned out. We've continued to use her for all of our big life events!

Ryan Davis Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Malta, IL

I photograph weddings for people who'd rather enjoy their day than spend it posing for photos. For more than 15 years I've been documenting the laughter, happy tears, dance floor chaos, and the little moments you never saw coming. My goal is simple: make you feel comfortable, stay out of the way when it matters, and create photos that feel like your wedding, not a photoshoot.

Ryan was great to work with. He went over our timeline before the big day and was open to our weird ideas. We are both a bit awkward when it comes to having our photos taken but that does not come through in the photos. He was able to take our (my) silly weirdness and produce great photos that capture our energy. He was easy to work with and was not focused on directing us. He let most photos happen naturally and it really reflects who we are instead of having stiff, formal photos. We still took formal family photos but his candid shots are exceptionally lovely.

My love for photography began in Rockford, IL, where I discovered storytelling through a lens. Over the years, I’ve captured Midwest landscapes, national parks, and life’s meaningful moments. What started with local events and concerts grew into a passion for weddings and portraiture. I believe the best photos come from genuine connections, so I prioritize building relationships to understand your story and vision. Whether celebrating love, connection, or a fleeting moment, I’m here to calm nerves, share laughter, and capture memories you’ll cherish forever. Let’s create something timeless and yours.

Tyler is an incredible photographer to work with; he's able to make all participants feel comfortable and engaged, and this is where the magic happens! Tyler's skilled eye allows him to quickly map out pleasing compositions while capturing candid emotion - it's the best of both worlds! Your photos will feel authentic AND gorgeous. We would absolutely book with Tyler again!

We are Aaron & Lindsey, the husband and wife team that makes up Palette of Light Photography & Video. We are enthusiastic artists with a passion for telling authentic and inspirational stories through art. We specialize in editorial style wedding photography and videography, as well as, family portraiture.

From our very first conversation, we knew Palette of Light was the perfect choice for our wedding videographers. Lindsey and Aaron are an amazing husband and wife team, and from the moment we met them, they made us feel completely at ease. On our wedding day, they were professional, organized, and so easy to be around. It honestly felt like we had friends capturing our day instead of vendors. They blended seamlessly with our family, friends, and all of our other vendors while somehow managing to capture every meaningful moment without ever feeling intrusive. Their attention to detail and ability to preserve genuine emotions is truly incredible. The biggest surprise was waking up the morning after our wedding to find a highlight reel waiting for us. We watched it over and over because it captured the joy, love, and energy of our day so perfectly. It was such an unexpected gift to be able to relive those moments so quickly, and it made us even more excited to see the full wedding film. We have not received our full video yet, but after seeing the highlight reel and experiencing how much care and passion Lindsey and Aaron put into their work, we already know it is going to be something we will treasure forever. If you are looking for videographers/photographers who are not only incredibly talented but also kind, genuine people who truly care about telling your story, we cannot recommend Palette of Light highly enough. They gave us memories we will cherish for a lifetime, and we are so grateful they were part of our wedding day.

I'm Chrissy and I'm a documentary wedding photographer with 10+ years of experience who fully believes that your life deserves to be documented truthfully. My focus at your wedding isn't to steal you away from your family and friends for hours to make "art," but to empathically capture the moments and relationships present at your wedding. Your wedding photos are the single most important wedding investment you'll make. After the day is done and over, they will be what tethers you to your memories of your day. They will be the heirlooms you'll pass down to your grandchildren to hang on walls and sit on bedsides for generations to come.

We loved Chrissy! She was fun and easy to work with, and I loved that she provided color and black/white photos. She did everything on our list, and listened to our ideas as well. Nothing felt forced or over-posed, but she was great at guiding next moves when needed. Will definitely use again for future photos.
