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
β€œWe 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)”

We walk you through every step, from proposal and engagement photos and perfectly capturing those forever wedding day moments with photography, videography, and content creation, to expertly crafting your very first family heirloom…your wedding album!

Awarded Best of Zola
β€œTWA Photographic Artists were straightforward and direct in their communication, and kept us on schedule throughout our wedding day. Their work was great, capturing many timeless and detailed shots. However, at times they seemed a bit hurried when working with our wedding party and guests, though they remained attentive and eager to get the right shots. For example, the photographer remembered the little details that made our photos special, but we felt a bit rushed after the ceremony and didn't fully capture the joy of those moments. Overall, TWA provided solid photography services, but could have been a bit more patient and attuned to our desired pace for the day.”

We had a mostly DIY friend set up wedding so all her experience and advice was greatly appreciated--I even heard she helped light tea candles when my friends were in a pinch.

The quality of his work is truly stellar- it genuinely was worth every single penny for us.

My family loved working with Clayton too, they all complimented how much fun he was and how beautiful our photos were, and that they would find an excuse to hire him for something lol. Clayton also eased a lot of my anxiety with his calm presence, he even talked me through a difficult moment which was unexpected and greatly appreciated. We highly recommend Lux Everlasting for any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

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
β€œZach is an incredible artist and I am so glad we hired him as our photographer for both engagement and wedding photos. I am not very comfortable being photographed, and was wary of ending up with a lot of awkward smiles, but Zach is a kind, funny person who will help you open up, laugh and let your natural smile out. His interests beyond the cameraβ€”music, film, etc.β€”have influenced his style, capturing the feeling of incredible moments with a cinematic quality. His photos captured the cozy and moody, yet crisp and bright November day of our wedding perfectly, and I know I will enjoy looking at them, and finding new favorites for years to come. We highly recommend Zach, and would certainly hire him again!”

I was that kid enchanted by Disney Princess movies and the idea of "true love". My true love revealed itself through photography. At 8, I grabbed my dad's camera and was hooked, thrilled to show people my world. I started with zoo animals, friends, and siblings, eager to freeze moments in time. As I grew, I learned from local photographers and knew by 17 that photography was my calling. Since then, I’ve captured love in all its forms: couples, new parents, best friends, and the joy of seeing your favorite band live. The world is full of magical firsts, and I'm honored to capture these moments forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
β€œWe had the absolute best experience working with Kaitlyn for our engagement photos, rehearsal dinner, and wedding day. From the very beginning, she made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, which made such a difference in how natural all of our photos turned out. She and her husband Jake, who was our second shooter, were an amazing team. They captured every moment so effortlessly and truly understood the vibe of each event β€” from the excitement of our engagement session, to the intimate feel of the rehearsal dinner, to the energy and emotion of our wedding day. What I appreciated most was how well she listened to what we wanted while also guiding us with her experience. She made sure to get the specific shots that were important to us, but also captured so many candid moments that we didn’t even realize were happening. Looking through the photos feels like reliving the entire weekend. If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, organized, calm, and genuinely fun to work with, I cannot recommend her enough. We are so grateful to have these memories captured so beautifully.”

β€œWendy Schreier is an ace wedding photographer, who wonderfully captured our engagement, ceremony, and reception. From the start, Wendy showcased her flexibility on photography styles She brings a great energy to the pursuit of capturing perfect candid moments while also listening to couples’ visions on more scripted shots. Wendy truly goes beyond the call of duty during a shoot, even going so far as to pluck a bee off of my wife-to-be during our wedding photos outside (she was literally putting herself in harm's way to save the day). Wendy has great experience in the Chicago area, bringing past experience with areas, locations, and venues to her craft. The resulting photos were terrific, and Wendy gave us a bounty of options to download and print from. We not only had a great time reviewing the photos after the events, but truly enjoyed the time spent with Wendy personally crafting our wedding journey.”

Hi! I'm John, a wedding photographer based in Chicago, IL. I believe deeply that great wedding photography is about creating imagery that is as visually compelling, as it is emotionally significant. Weaving the images together to tell unforgettable stories. My distinct 'documentary meets fine-art' style is a product of my unrelenting commitment to my craft and the complete trust that my couples place in me. I primarily cover weddings in the Chicagoland area, but I will travel to any destination worldwide for those seeking an adventure.
