Maeve Collective brings together a team of dedicated photographers who share the same vision, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence, ensuring a seamless and consistent experience for every couple.

Hiring Candace was one of the best decisions we made for our July 2022 Chicago wedding. From our very first video call, she made us feel comfortable and relaxed. Her mix of professionalism and approachability made choosing her an easy decision. Our package included an engagement shoot, which was incredibly helpful. It gave us time to get to know Candace before the wedding and made us feel much more at ease in front of the camera. On the wedding day, greeting Candace arrived full of energy, excitement, and genuine joy - and that came through in every moment behind the lens. She hyped us and our wedding party up in the most authentic way. When we had to pivot locations for photos, Candace handled everything effortlessly, finding beautiful light and scenery on the fly as we walked down Michigan Avenue. Her communication was always clear and prompt. She sent sneak peeks right away and set expectations clearly for the full gallery. We love our photos and will cherish them forever. They capture our joy, our love, and all the people who made our day special. We highly recommend Candace to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. Her pricing is absolutely worth it for the heart, soul, and artistry she brings to her work. We hope to stay in touch with her for years to come - we’re truly huge fans of Candace and her incredible talent.

Timeless | Romantic | Classic Wedding photographer - I believe in the idea that "great photos are created from personal connection." I put my heart and soul into making sure the couples I work with have the best possible experience and end up with images that we can both be proud of. My favorite part of taking photos is being able to find the special moments within your big milestones. It's those candid times, along with the significance of the occasion, that come together to create your favorite memories and it's my job to capture those through my visual storytelling.

Meg is a dream and truly one of the best around. She was recommended to me by a friend and I have zero regrets. She is funny, understanding, and a total professional. Our engagement photos and wedding photos turned out incredible. Can't recommend her enough!

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

Hi, I'm Brian. A photographer with 10+ years of experience and a never-ending fresh exuberance. I capture your day without being intrusive. My approach is detailed yet fluid, photographing your day as it unfolds. I will anticipate where the moments are going to happen.

My name is Elliot Stokes and I am a photographer located in the Madison, WI area, but I work all across Wisconsin and Illinois. I have been drawn to the camera since I was young, but becoming a father has really shown me the magic behind capturing the most candid and beautiful moments of our lives. I started my journey into professional photography officially in the summer of 2019 and received my Bachelors of Fine Arts degree with honors in Digital Photography in the spring of 2022. I absolutely love what I do and look forward to every new experience and opportunity this journey takes me on!

Awarded Best of Zola
Elliot made all of our dreams come true. His professionalism and talent does not go unnoticed. He was the first vendor we booked for our wedding before we even had a venue figured out because of how much we loved his work. He is incredibly responsive to texts and emails which is so important when planning a wedding. He was very prepared for the wedding day! Elliot was able to make sure we stayed on schedule and even moved events around when needed to get the best photos possible since our wedding was outside. He went above and beyond to make our wedding run smoothly. By the end of the night, we didn't want it to end so we even extended his services by an hour which he happily made work. We even had sneak peeks by dinner time which surprised us. We could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. I am recommending him to all of my friends with weddings in the future. I can't imagine my wedding any other way. Thank you Elliot!

We had the pleasure of working with Heidi for our wedding, and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice. From the initial consultation to the big day itself, Heidi was professional, personable, and incredibly talented. She captured every special moment with such an artistic eye and attention to detail. The way she managed to blend into the background while still getting those perfect candid shots was amazing. Our wedding album is a treasure trove of memories, beautifully edited and filled with shots that truly reflect the emotions and joy of the day. We especially loved how she made us feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera, which is no small feat. Her patience and creativity really shone through, and we are beyond grateful for the stunning photos that we will cherish forever. We highly recommend to anyone looking for a wedding photographer who can deliver both exceptional service and breathtaking photos. Thank you for making our day even more memorable!

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Awarded Best of Zola
Abby wasn’t able to travel to my wedding but she sent her assistants and she edited the photos. It went absolutely perfect. The photos were beautiful and I got so many meaningful photos with my family and his family that I wouldn’t have thought to get. I sent her draft of a timeline and the photographers printed it out and had it to make sure the photos I wanted got done. They were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much to Abby and her team.

Where to even begin with Brittany! First of all she is an amazing person through and through! On our wedding day 2/22/25 she was early and got right to work. She helped us out in ways we couldn't even imagine. She gave us pointers on our nephews fiasco of a suit, ensured it would work out and made it not a big deal. The entire process with Brittany was flawless, she guided us and somehow found our esthetic with the little knowledge we gave her! Her skills are unmatched and we will be considering her for any photos we need in the future! We are excited to see the photos, Brittany showed us some raw pictures on her camera and we were immediately hooked on what she was getting, just ask my now wife Alaina who has said at minimum 5 times a day, "ugh I can't wait to see the photos" "oh I know theses are going to be great" Thanks for everything Brittany! Update we received sneak peeks and are in absolute shock and awe. Brittany had a true talent for this all!

Hi, I’m Jovan Kiah — a wedding and portrait photographer based just outside Indianapolis. I’m your personal hype woman, passionate about capturing vibrant, true-to-color moments that feel like you. From big milestones to everyday magic, I’m here to freeze time in a way that’s real, timeless, and joy-filled. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m soaking up motherhood, planning game nights, or enjoying something sweet—because life’s too short not to.

Jovan was absolutely amazing to work with. On our calls before the big day, she was always happy and excited and answered all of our questions and it gave us such a sense of ease. I never once had to worry and stress about photos. Day of the wedding, she completely killed it. She was still her happy self but was able to organize us and snap some amazing photos. She worked with me on some odd family and friend dynamics and eliminated any worries I had. She did a fantastic job of catching the perfect small moments, some of which I didn’t even know she was capturing. The photos are all so naturally beautiful and I can’t even begin to describe how much we love them. They are clean and bright and show us, our personalities, and our people perfectly. 100% the best decision we made.

I have been a wedding photographer for over 13 years now, but I'm still excited about every wedding I shoot. Every day is different, and I love the excitement and the genuine relationships that I get to capture between the couple, their parents, their siblings, and their best friends. My goal is to help each couple have the best possible day, while capturing their memories in the most flattering and memorable way.

Awarded Best of Zola
Bryson and I had the honor of working with Mary Rose for our wedding and we were so blessed by her partnership and her craft - not only did she get us previews less than 24h after the event itself, we had the full gallery one month later. And the photos were AMAZING. She captured the formal portraits and the unseen moments in the most tender way. Her presence is calming and encouraging; she is an expedient communicator leading up the event, extremely collaborative yet informative. We knew we were in good hands with a pro like Mary Rose. She is the confidant you want by your side no matter what curveballs the wedding day may throw or family dynamics may bring.. We knew we wanted to work with Mary Rose during our first consultation call, when she found a chicken egg in her pocket from her farm, because she is just that cool. And to this day and for years and years to come, we cherish the photos that she was able to capture. It is an honor to work with Mary Rose and I suggest you do the same!

Hi, I'm Jill! I've been photographing weddings in Wisconsin (and beyond) for 13+ years. I absolutely love shooting weddings and telling your story of your day. I'm not here for stiff poses and fake smiles — I want the ugly cry, the snort-laugh, the glance across the room that says everything. If that sounds like your kind of wedding photos, I think we'd be a great fit.

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn’t be happier that we chose Jill to be our wedding photographer. We knew we wanted someone to more accurately capture our day (did NOT want to have over-exposed, filtered looking photos or the hoaky, staged vibes) and her journalistic approach to her photography in combination with her joyful energy was PERFECT for us. We asked for a video chat prior to booking to go over some questions and concerns we had regarding the day and knew very quickly she was going to be the right fit for us. Given we both have a passion for photography ourselves, we greatly appreciated her expertise in a wide variety of elements (from bright, natural light to dark, interior spaces) and her realistic approach, which, alongside her experience and artistic vision led to crisp, beautiful photos representing us and our day. We also booked an engagement shoot with her, which we loved, as her bubbly personality immediately puts you at ease and allows you to get a sense of how to really be yourself in photos while still making them feel special. She was responsive and easy to communicate with through the whole process, really making the entire experience feel personal, and our wedding day was all that and even more fun. For the first part of the day she brought an assistant, Anney, with her, who was another ray of sunshine to work with to be a second set of hands, and we worked with Jill to hire a second shooter, Leiden, for a few hours later, who was wonderful as well. Jill being down-to-earth but also friendly and outgoing felt like the perfect combo so that we didn’t feel stressed throughout the day, but also that we could approach her with whatever our thoughts were. So many of our guests said (and keep saying) how much THEY also loved being around her at our event too. We legitimately got some amazing photos back of certain guests that we hardly EVER see smile for photos, which was just more proof how infectious her positive energy is and how great she is at what she does. We ended up with a ton of truly spectacular photos from our wedding for what we thought was a fair price, and that we got back in a very reasonable amount of time, all of which she takes the time and care to edit herself without making them look fake, filtered, or overly manipulated. I can’t overstate how much we loved having Jill as our wedding photographer and the way she perfectly captured us and our wonderful day.

Hi there, I'm Cara! I am based in south central Wisconsin and serve Wisconsin, the midwest, and beyond. I started Cara Ann Photography to capture love stories in their truest form, and with true to color timeless editing your whole story comes to life.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have worked with Cara for MANY years. She has been nothing but kind, professional, timely, and a great communicator. When it came time to pick someone for my wedding, the choice could not have been more clear. Although I have not celebrated my wedding day yet, my engagement shoot and communication with Cara has been a dream. After booking her for our wedding, she helped us put together a timeline for the day, communicated the different options like first looks, and talk us though what we thought we would need. She was also able to recommend videographers. She has continued to go above and beyond. Since my Fiancé and I are currently located in Ohio, time in WI is very limited. I though this would make our engagement shoot difficult to schedule. That was not the case! Cara helped pick the location and scoped it out beforehand to make sure it was perfect. She made sure to fit us in on a Sunday when we were home at 7AM even though she had a wedding the night before! Less than an hour after the shoot we got 5 sneak peak photos. The full gallery was delivered right about 2-3 weeks later! I can not wait for my wedding day and have Cara Ann Photography capture the day and for Cara to be a teammate of the Scherdin/Curry wedding. I first worked with her in 2019 when she shot my then boyfriend and I's anniversary photos. They were incredible and the experience was so fun. She allowed us to play our own music and just be ourselves. After that experience, my family and I have never used a different photographer. She shot both of my brothers senior portraits and my sibling photos. My Fiancé also coordinated with her to do a surprise proposal shoot. She immediately set up an operation to get me in front of the camera under the disguise of a couples styled shoot. When the day came, we had the worst weather. I mean -40 and blizzard. That did not stop her from coming up with plan after plan to make the shoot work. She ended up driving 30 minutes to my parents house at 6pm on December 23rd to capture the special moment, simply out of the kindness of her heart. It was perfect.
