When you look back at your album decades from now, I don’t want you to just remember what you looked like. I want you to remember exactly how it felt. I’m here for the quiet whispers, the loud laughs, the messy hair, and the moments that leave you breathless. Because your love isn’t a curated catalog—it’s a living, breathing piece of art.

“Shutter Lane Imagery was absolutely fantastic to work with for our wedding photography. From the very first interaction, Jasmine was quick to respond, incredibly kind, and made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. Her communication style was top-notch, always keeping us informed and addressing any questions or concerns we had. The quality of their work is simply stunning - Jasmine has an incredible eye for detail and captured the most beautiful, creative, and spontaneous moments of our special day. As someone who can feel awkward in front of the camera, Jasmine's direction and guidance put me completely at ease, and the end result is an album I'll cherish forever. You can tell Jasmine is not only an amazingly talented photographer, but also has a beautiful soul to match. She was flexible, accommodating, and went above and beyond to ensure our vision was brought to life. I would recommend Shutter Lane Imagery to any couple looking for a photographer who truly cares about their craft and delivering an exceptional experience.”

Weddings are definitely close to my heart! My goal is to produce images that you can look back on for the rest of your lives and feel good vibes only! I want this day to be as stress free as possible for you on my end -- so if I need to be a wedding coordinator, dress fluffer, hair fixer, dance partner, people wrangler, or whatever it may be on top of being your photographer, I GOTCU!

“I am a wedding film maker and I have had the pleasure of working with Tiffany on many occasions. She is very good at her job and is laid back, easy to work with and makes everyone feel comfortable on their wedding days. Sometimes Videographers and Photographers can clash on a wedding day, but Tiffany goes above and beyond to make sure we work together well. That's a big deal, because the last thing you want is two vendors fighting on the biggest day of your life. There are no second chances on a wedding day. I highly recommend Tiffany and when you decide to hire her, just know that you are in the best hands and you'll be so thankful you had her as your Photographer once your wedding day is over and you can relive those moments with breathtaking photos.”

He was so kind, helpful, and explained everything so well. He was also available for all the questions throughout the whole planning process and was quick to respond. 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! Noah, our videographer, made sure to get all the important moments as well. I can't wait to see all he captured of our special day! Last, DJ the DJ, was AMAZING. He was so organized, made sure we had everything we needed for the ceremony and reception. Our guests LOVED him. It was also important to us to have the wedding flow as much as possible without much downtime. All of the above made this happen. We can't say enough good things and we are appreciative of all their help, communication, and energy along the way!”

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
“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!!!”

Hi, I’m Connie—congratulations on your engagement. Thank you for being here and for considering me as your photographer. I take a thoughtful, hands-on approach and believe the experience matters just as much as the final images. I’m involved well before the wedding day—collaborating on vision, timelines, and details to ensure everything feels intentional and effortless. I love curated Pinterest boards, open communication, and creating imagery that feels elevated, timeless, and personal. This is your day, and it should reflect you. Let’s talk!

Awarded Best of Zola
“We cannot recommend Connie enough! We worked with her for both our engagement photos at The Art Institute and our elopement at City Hall/Garfield Park Conservatory, and she was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. Our engagement session happened to fall on one of the busiest days that I've ever seen at The Art Institute. Despite the crowds and chaos, Connie was completely calm and made everything feel so easy. Looking at our photos, you would never know how busy it was. Every photo is beautiful and feels so effortless. On our elopement day, Connie was just as amazing. She navigated the craziness of City Hall with ease and wasn't fazed by anything, including rain and a protest that happened right in the middle of our photos! She stayed calm, flexible, and positive through it all, which made such a difference on a day that could have easily felt stressful. She was also incredibly communicative throughout the entire process, gave us helpful tips and direction, and somehow made two people who are definitely not naturals in front of the camera feel comfortable and confident. And most importantly, our photos are absolutely beautiful. Connie has such a talent for capturing genuine, authentic moments while making the entire experience feel relaxed and fun. We feel so lucky that she was there to capture both of these special days!”

“We planned our wedding from all the way across the country (Florida to California) so we already had challenges. From the beginning, the price was great and the photos looked promising, so we decided to go for it and we are so glad we did! Turned out to be well worth it. Michael connected with us immediately, assured us he would make it happen and not to worry about a thing. We communicated over the phone and through email, he always answered every time I called, ready to listen and note my requests. The day of, the photographer Michael booked for us, Michaela Gardener drove hours to be there for our special day and even brought an assistant. She was willing to be hands on all day, treated my children like family and even stayed late to capture extra shots. Her experience shows from her work. Both the DJ and Photographer arrived early to set up and are experienced business owners. The photos are great quality and high resolution. They came out so beautiful, even with our imperfect family and little ones running around, she somehow made us look great. We are so satisfied and blown away by how the pictures turned out that every little thing that didn’t go as planned that day just melted away because the photos just perfectly captured our love and the great time our guests had. Wedding planning can be very stressful and chaotic and so I’m very glad we found someone to make this part of the wedding easy. All within our budget. Two less things we had to stress about and lucky we could trust Michael. Very happy with our experience”

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

“From the moment we booked Charlie's Angels Photography, LLC, we knew we were in good hands. Charlie was extremely communicative even before the wedding and the weeks leading up into the wedding, which put us at ease. We prioritized a photographer that had experience shooting people of color due to lighting and exposure. Charlie was competitively priced and worked with our budget, and we didn't have to worry at all about whether good shots were being captured on our special day. We were able to be present and in the moment, and the final photos exceeded our expectations.

“This couple photographer team was simply amazing. They were fun and put everyone at ease while taking beautiful photos. I’ve only gotten my sneak peek pictures, but I am in awe with how beautiful they made my entire family and wedding party look. They also did a great job getting candid pics of the bridesmaids and groomsmen’s getting ready as well as fun pictures at the reception. All the photos of the actual ceremony and posed pictures with family look amazing as well. I would absolutely recommend this team to anybody looking. A”

“When my husband and I planned our wedding, we knew that a skilled photographer was one of our top priorities. We could not have gotten luckier in finding Cecilia to be our photographer. She did such an amazing job with our photos and was such a joy to be around. When in the planning phase, she worked with us to make sure we planned out the shots we wanted and got the style of photography that we preferred. She was so flexible working around our hectic schedules the day of and made sure to have every picture we wanted planned and ready to go. She was a hoot on the dance floor and brought so much fun energy that our guests raved about. We were also married in a fairly remote area and she made traveling here a breeze. I genuinely believe Cecilia was the best photographer we could have possibly gotten for our wedding and we will forever cherish the memories she captured so well that day. Thank you for everything!”
