Shutter & Sound 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Oak Lawn, IL

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

My husband and I loved working with Shutter and Sound for our wedding!! They went above and beyond when capturing our venue and all the special moments throughout our wedding day. The videographers were very personable and easy to work with, and were confident in their vision. All of the deliverables came even sooner than we were expecting which was a nice surprise, and I've watched our videos sooo many times since we got them back. Truly a great experience! I'd recommend Shutter and Sound to anyone looking for quality footage that really tells a story. :)

I've always been an artist, but my love for photography truly took hold when I photographed my first wedding in 2007. That day, I fell in love with everything about weddings— getting to work with all kinds of people and personalities, capturing every moment and each detail, and even getting to bust a move on the dance floor every now and then.

I am a bilingual (Polish, English) Chicago based wedding photographer who enjoys traveling and music. I like to take a documentary approach to photography. Keeping posing to a minimum and capturing natural moments of your big day. I am a perfect photographer for a couple that believes the natural moments mean more than posed photographs.

I had the privilege of working with Roman at a wedding a few years ago. I was hired as a DJ and he reached out to me prior to the event to introduce himself. I looked into his work and was astounded by his attention to detail. He really has a knack for capturing the moment in photo

I highly recommend this company to take photos at your wedding! We loved our photographer Percy. He was incredible, and so helpful. He came with several cameras and valued all of our ideas, and when we became stumped he offered ideas for us to try as well. He was very professional, kind, caring, and always on top of the game taking photos. Towards the end of our night he started to put the camera away and brought it back out to catch a few final moments. He was on top of responding to all questions before, during, and after. He took photos of me and my husband before the ceremony and got some wonderful shots (it was a 95 outside wedding so this was much appreciated because we all had some sweat on our faces). But before we got Percy and our booking process with eivans it was super simple, and just an overall great experience.

All I can say is Connie is hands down so much more than a photographer. She was so patient, kind, and positive when we had our elopement. We got down pour rain and she was quick to have plans to take us to get beautiful pictures. She was so thoughtful with doing things she didn’t have to do, like helping hold my wet dress, and so much more. Connie is extremely calming presence in a stressful and hectic day. We absolutely loved our pictures and all the special moments she captured without us realizing and was truly so special working with her!

I hired IG photographer for my wedding and they did not disappoint! Roman was our photographer for the day and he was so nice. He showed me his shots as he took them to make sure I was happy with them (I was!). He also made sure to pull me back into the fun when he noticed I was talking and missing the action for too long. I really appreciated that because you get pulled in so many different directions because guests want to talk that you forget you’re supposed to be enjoying the day as well. I don’t consider myself a photogenic person but I felt the pics came out so pretty! I would recommend this company to everyone!

We're in the middle of our 11th Chicago wedding season, and it's been a whirlwind of all things real and fabulous! We are super excited to offer FILM photography services to our awesome couples this year!!

From the very first conversation, we were confident that Emma would capture our day, and with every meeting, our faith in her grew. She listened to what we wanted and added her (much needed) finesse and expertise to perfectly capture our big day. Emma added so much joy to the "photo shoot" component of our day, and fit right in with our family and friends, as evidenced by how authentic the candid shots she captured were. We're so thrilled that we went with Emma Mullins Photography - choosing a photographer can be an overwhelming decision, but again, after that first meeting, we never looked back, and you won't either!

Trust is the most important thing that I wanted to have in my wedding photographer, trust that they would capture every moment, trust that they would put my requests at the forefront, and trust that would deliver what we wanted. I put my trust in Mariah and she went above and beyond. She constantly checked in with me and put my concerns first. The pictures she delivered were beautiful, personal, and high quality. As every bride may mention there is always something they wish they could change about their wedding day because no day is perfect.

So there’s no “I” in team right?! While Captured Couture is the product of years of hard work that I built from the ground up. I have an amazing team because sometimes takes more than just me. For larger events or on occasions when I am already booked one of my team members will gladly assist with your event. We’ve covered hundreds of weddings together, and have refined our editing style and way of shooting to be completely consistent. You won’t be able to tell the difference. Pinky promise! No matter where you’re planning from when it clicks, it clicks.

My (now) husband and I chose to hire Jennifer from Captured Couture as our photographer for our wedding. We were both blown away by her images posted on her website and Instagram page and after having a phone interview we were convinced she was the one for us. Jennifer was communicative and so easy to work with. We were able to get a free engagement session with the purchase of our package which was awesome because we were able to meet her in person before our actual wedding. The day of the wedding there were a few minor hiccups as our wedding was the same day as the Detroit Pride fest, and we weren’t sure some of our desired locations would be accessible. Without a moment of hesitation Jennifer, who knows the city of Detroit incredibly well, was able to secure a location for our first look and our wedding party photos which turned out to be perfect. Jennifer and her assistant LeAnn captured every part of our wedding with some much care and attention to detail. Our photos are spectacular and we are so thankful for our photography team. Both my husband and I would definitely recommend Captured Couture to anyone looking for wedding photography.

Some highlights: - Strong communication in the months leading up to the wedding, always promptly replying to emails - His gallery speaks for itself but he clearly has a good artistic vision and excellent editing skills with many years of experience - Did some FILM photography as well!!! My favorite photos of the day were captured on film and had such a gorgeous vintage vibe that digital would never be able to capture. - Captured everything we could have possibly wanted, was good at posing us for posed photos but also got so many special candid moments Most importantly, Andrew has such a relaxed, positive, and calming vibe that was so important to us on our big day. I have been in weddings where the photographer is way too intense and barking orders at everyone, rushing people, and stressing out the bride and groom - I am so glad that was not the case with him. I could not recommend his services enough - it is well worth every penny.

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.

I honestly think MONRO photography are one of the best wedding photographers out there and we were just extremely lucky to get them to record our LA wedding. Their pictures were everything we wanted, capturing the golden sun, the magic of the moment, our happiness and laughter. Equally important, these guys are reliable, easy to work with, easy to get along with and are super quick with answers. Thank you guys, if we are ever to hold any other big events in the future (10th wedding anniversary, same time, same place?) we will surely come to you

A Chicago-based wedding and elopement photographer that values genuine connection, authentic emotions, and getting to know my clients on a deep and personal level. I value capturing your moments and memories exactly how they happen, helping you to remember the feelings of intimacy, love, and warmth of marrying your person.

I don't even have the words to tell y'all how amazing Jayde is. We are SO grateful we reached out to Jayde back in 2022 for our engagement shoot and immediately knew we needed to hire her for our April 2024 wedding. From the very beginning, Jayde was super professional, patient, and on top of it, not to mention SO friendly and warm. She made me and my husband feel so special and comfortable in front of her camera, and our entire bridal party loved her too. She created a seamless timeline for the day that worked so well and she made sure we were on time all day. The photos truly speak for themselves. She has an amazing eye and we are obsessed with her editing style. She surprised us with over 100 (!!!) previews the next morning and they were INCREDIBLE - we were blown away and shocked that she could turn them around that quickly. We are so so so excited to see our full gallery soon. Don't hesitate to book Jayde - she's truly a gem in the Chicago wedding industry. We can't wait to find another reason to book her!

5 stars are not enough for this DYNAMIC DUO. We began our adventure in the lovely island of Bermuda on a very hot morning at the beach. Sylk Marti was there to capture every single moment of that wonderful day and took the most scenic and captivating photos I have ever seen. They displayed relentless energy even through the un-bearable heat and produced the most amazing photos of our wonderfully exotic fairy tale wedding. We continued our adventure 3 weeks later where we gathered with 130 of our family and closest friends to celebrate. Prior to the reception we encountered a few mishaps and just when I thought my day was ruined, the super heroes of Sylk Marti Studios swooped in and saved the day. I, in my crazy state, accidentally forgot to pick up my bouquet and boutonnière from the florist. Sylk quickly ran out and returned with a bouquet and boutonnière. I, then realized that our cake had not been delivered and learned there had been a mix up on the date with the baker. What was I gonna do without a cake on my wedding day??? Well, let me tell you what my super hero photographer, Sylk did. She quickly and magically arranged the delivery of a cake that was ready and on display just in time for the cake cutting. So, not only are they Chicago's most talented photographers, they are miracle workers. They kept the night moving smoothly as they wowed our guests with their amazing chemistry and charm. Danny's humorous and charismatic personality had all our guest willing and ready to take wonderful photos for a lifetime of memories and Sylk made sure that all the photos we requested were taken and all of our guests were included. Sylk Marti was ready at every step to capture every single fun filled moment of the night. My husband and I are thrilled that we chose Sylk Marti Studios to be part of our special day.

Hey there! I’m a weddings and couples photographer based in Chicago, IL with my partner Emily and my rescue dog Daxter. I’m here to document joy and celebrate all the meaningful moments with the kickass people that find me.

We booked Sam for our elopement at City Hall in October and cannot say enough wonderful things about working with him! From the very beginning, he was organized and communicative and put us totally at ease. The day of our marriage ceremony, he was the absolute best third wheel, making the day feel special by hyping us up and also disappearing into the background so that we could have some special moments that felt more private. Neither my husband or I had ever done a formal photoshoot before but we both felt so comfortable with Sam that it wasn't awkward. And most importantly, the end product was phenomenal. Sam had edited (and shared with us!) more than half the gallery by the end of the day. The photos are gorgeous (the colors, the lighting, the framing of the shots) and perfectly capture our special day. We feel so seen. 10/10 would book again!

Six years of taking bright, colorful, fun wedding photos in the city has taught me how to deliver a complete gallery of your day told in an artistic, meaningful, and unobtrusive way--because I'm here to document your day, not to direct it. As much as I love taking photos (it's truly my favorite thing in the world!), I believe your wedding is about celebrating all your people being in the same place at the same time + kicking back and enjoying while I make sure all those memories are on camera.

Awarded Best of Zola
Alana and I connected over Instagram shortly after Nick and I got engaged. Over the course of a year, I fell more in love with her shot style, her colors, and just about everything she posted. She and I messaged, liked, and commented so it was nice having as much of a connection as people can have through Instagram before booking. When we decided to book she helped so much with ideas for outfits, time of day, and locations to shoot as well!! When we scheduled our engagement shoot, it worked perfectly to where she could come to our location while she was in Cinci. Day of the shoot, anything that could have gone wrong, went wrong BUT Alana handled everything with such flexibility and ease. We were able to get shots before and after the torrential downpour that forced us to change locations and WE ARE IN LOVE with the photos. I seriously can’t say enough amazing things about her. She makes us even more excited for our wedding just through looking at our engagement photos and the photos she shares on her blog/website/Instagram. Long story short: book her. She’s your girl for all things wedding ❤️❤️

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 nearly 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. Not every event I’m at goes exactly according to plan and I know how to roll with the punches. 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!

Zach was absolutely amazing to work with! We were quick to book with him after clicking so well at our first meeting. We booked an engagement session separate from the wedding booking and were so glad we did! He provided great direction and conversation, helping two socially awkward folks feel comfortable and look like superstars. He was on time and professional for our wedding day, taking care to make sure we covered our photo list and suggesting a few shots that wound up as some of our favorites. He returned our images exactly on schedule and WOW! We were blown away! The photos exactly capture my memory of the wedding day. We would hire Zach again in a heartbeat!

Where do I begin?... Ed & Aileen are freaking INCREDIBLE! To start, they are both amazing humans -- so sweet, fun and easy to work with. My husband and I never had a professional shoot taken before, so we were a little nervous before taking our engagement photos. Aileen made it so fun, by the end we forgot there were tons of people staring at us! My favorite thing about Ed & Aileen Photography is their knack for candid shots. They are all about the fun and just being yourself. This is what sold us on them, the second we saw their photos we knew we HAD to work with them. Planning anything with them was super simple and easy. No waiting around for days or weeks at a time to get a response. They were by far our favorite vendors. So much so that 2 of my friends are using them for their weddings next year! USE ED & AILEEN PHOTOGRAPHY, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! They are modern day photography super heroes!

Noah is an absolute pleasure to work with and would highly recommend him. I originally hired him to shoot my wedding a two years ago and have since kept in touch and hired him for my own company events. For me communication was crucial when speaking and selecting our vendors and I don't think there was a single email that wasn't responded within less than 24 hours. This was what made us originally select Noah. Noah made us feel at ease throughout the whole process leading up to our big day and even more so on our wedding day. He showed up early, was organized and professional but friendly as well. He made us a priority before, during and after the wedding was done. Within a week Noah delivered to us our entire wedding gallery, something that both my spouse and I were astounded and pleasantly surprised with. After reading and hearing horror stories of some photographers taking months to deliver photos, Noah eased all our fears once again and sent us a full gallery online. The icing on the cake is the photography itself. My wife and I loved all the photos and he did such a great job of capturing the day. I'll continue to hire Noah for anything photography related and have already recommended him to several close friends.

I contacted Kate sometime in November to take photos of my proposal to my then-girlfriend, Morgan. Kate was super easy to work with from the start. She listened to my ideas and gave great input to help me nail down my plan. When the day came, she got the candid photos seamlessly and they turned out great. She was so enthusiastic and happy and it made the shoot a fun time. All of our friends and family love how the final album turned out.

We received a sneak peek within a few days, and the full 1,000 images in less than 2 weeks. And they were STUNNING. We couldn't stop reliving our wedding day through her photography, and we'll forever be grateful for Lauryn's talent.

A family member came across Erika about 7 years ago and booked her for an extended family photo and I haven’t booked another photographer since! Erika is the kindest person you will ever meet. She goes above and beyond for her clients and helps make any situation run smoothly. Her style, professionalism and work ethic are like no other. She can make anyone and everyone look and feel good no matter the occasion. My walls are filled with frames and photo products that showcase her work that all have a timeless beauty and quality that help share my families story.

*****The best way to reach me is to fill out the inquiry form on my website!***** As a documentary-style photographer, I love to emphasize connection, texture, and authentic emotion. Being a former actor who found a deep love and passion for wedding photography, I'm most drawn to the art of storytelling while creating honest and original work. I strive to make my images fully represent my couples in every way possible. I'm goofy, fun, and always create a deep connection with my couples to ensure their big day is captured with passion + care.

I worked with Madi by chance at a wedding a while back. I was so impressed with the wedding photos she took that day, so I recommended her to another couple of mine. I have now worked with her at numerous weddings and not only is her work incredible, but she is such a fabulous person as well. I would recommend Madi a million times over.

We couldn't have asked for a better photography team for our special day than Doru and his team. From the moment we met them, their professionalism and attention to detail were evident. They were not only punctual but also incredibly polite and attentive throughout the entire event. Doru's creativity truly shone through in the photos he captured. His unique ideas added an extra layer of magic to our wedding memories, and the end results surpassed all our expectations. We were blown away by the quality and creativity evident in every shot. Moreover, their efficiency was remarkable. Despite the fast-paced nature of the day, they managed to capture every important moment flawlessly. And to top it off, the turnaround time for receiving the photos was impressively quick, allowing us to relive the joy of our wedding day almost immediately. If you're looking for photographers who are not only talented but also genuinely passionate about their craft, look no further. They truly went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable, and we are forever grateful.

I work to create timeless images that truly tell the story of one of the most important days of your life.

From day one, Peter made us feel relaxed and it was so easy working with him. The engagement photos session was so much fun, he had great ideas for photos, and we laughed a lot. Besides getting great photos from this session, it allowed us to get to know Peter more (and vice versa) and feel more comfortable together before the wedding. We couldn't wait for the wedding day to hang out more! Peter and his team took amazing photos on our wedding day and are a joy to be around. They truly added so much to our entire wedding day team. We miss working with Peter on a daily basis - it was such a pleasure! I highly recommend Peter for your wedding!

I made a conscious decision early on in my career that I wanted to LOVE what I do and do what I love. With a bachelor’s degree in graphic design and photography you could say I’m one of the few that stuck with my major and still love it to this day. I’m a helpless romantic, a wife, a mother, a worldwide traveler a marathon runner and a wedding photographer. Deciding who will bring your memories to life is one of your most important ones. When the whirlwind and excitement of the day is over, beautifully captured images will be what help you revisit the romance, emotion and spirit of all of those little moments.

Don’t hesitate to book Christine as your photographer for your next big event, she was incredible! Christine works with you from the start to craft a photography package and schedule that work best for you and your event. Not only does she make you feel so comfortable (and help loosen up any stiff subjects!) during the photography sessions, but she captures the best shots based on the natural light (or lack there of since we had a winter wedding where the sun set early) – and they all turned out perfect. Christine photographed our engagement pictures and our wedding pictures. Both events were impacted by weather and it didn’t even matter thanks to Christine. She turned a rainy day into pure magic, allowing us to have the best pictures as memories. One thing we had never considered when booking a photographer was their ability to help you plan a timeline and stick to that timeline – Christine is by far the best at this! Even with our catholic ceremony, pictures, and reception spanning over 10 hours – she kept us on schedule, while still getting all of the shots that we wanted. We find ourselves still flipping through our wedding pictures everyday, and it was by far one of our best vendor choices. Thank you Christine!

From 2006 onwards, I have been professionally capturing the beauty of weddings and portraits. My photography style can best be described as honest, sincere, and intimate.

Bob captured every moment that I was hoping for....AND MORE. I feel as if I have an intimate relationship with the two of them now, they were involved in some pretty important and special moments of my life, and I am so grateful to have met them and gotten to work with them during a stressful time.

From my first moment as a wedding photographer, I knew I wanted to kick tradition to the curb. I was tried of seeing wedding photography that excluded the communities that I hold closest. I work hard to form a real connection with each of my clients to craft an experience that captures their unique spirit.

100/10 would recommend! Ashley & her partner, Liv, were incredibly easygoing, and downright fun to be around. Ashley took the time to go over how she could capture the moments that were most important to us, our desired aesthetic, and wedding planning timelines/details along the way. During the formal shoots, she guided us in all the right ways, and the organic moments she captured outside of that were thoughtfully executed. She was timely with the edits and the final photo galleries are everything I hoped for (and more). When I say I cannot stop looking at our wedding photos, I’m not exaggerating - they are stellar. We’ve also gotten countless comments from friends and family about how perfectly our wedding day was captured. I was lucky enough to stumble upon the Unabridged Photography website after perusing for wedding photographers in the Chicago area on the Knot; I was struck by how well she captured light, movement and detail (not to mention our mutual love for ABBA discovered in her Bio). I cannot recommend Ashley (and Liv) more highly!

Capturing those unexpected moments, a flirty glance, a secret kiss or a burst of laughter. These are the small details and intimate moments that tell your story. My other philosophy is to be editorial. To direct, compose, and create interesting shots. These are the pictures that will be high-impact, dramatic and creative. Although I have a photo-journalistic approach throughout the day, I understand the importance of formal family pictures. So, be assured we will get all of those as well.

Abel did our wedding last year (3 weeks before the pandemic hit) and the whole process could not have been more professional, easy, or smooth. He walked us through his processes each step of the way, he was flexible with any hiccups along the way (we accidentally tried to set up engagement photos in the middle of the Chicago marathon route and had to find a new venue on the fly). We had phone call meetings to make sure every step was covered. On the day of our wedding he was attentive, professional, and was able to motivate everyone while photographing. During dinner, everyone knows that taking pictures at all of the tables can take forever. Able was able to keep things moving while also keeping all of the guests happy at the same time. He also has a great eye for shot set up and is quick to find the perfect shots. We had photoshoots by a train station when we were lucky enough to have a train arrive. He was able to get us in a great spot and get the photo op in an instant. Afterwards, he kept us informed on where he was in the process on getting everything processed and even during the pandemic lockdowns and he made sure to find a way to keep us in the loop and get our pictures to us in a timely manner. Again, we can not recommend Tequila Weddings or Abel any higher!!!

I’m Anna, it’s so nice to meet you! I run a boutique family-owned photography studio in Schaumburg. I am a wife. A mommy. A latte enjoyer. A farmers market enthusiast and avid gardener. Most importantly, I am enchanted by life, love, and its tiny beautiful moments. I would be very honored and excited to document your spirit and all the chapters that come together to bind your story together!

Words cannot express enough how lucky we felt to have Anna as our wedding photographer! Not only she felt like a true friend before, during, and after the big day, but also she created photos that we immediately printed in the largest possible size to proudly display on our new home walls. Love her creativity, sense of humor, and making us feel so relaxed (we are not camera people ;)) She helped with the wedding planning process too! What also stands out is her style - we didn't want the photos that have muted or too bright colors, so her lively style was exactly what we were looking for. I have never felt so beautiful as she made us all look, and everyone is raving about our photos :) Best wedding decision! Don't wait too long, book her now!!!

We are a close-knit family of photographers, filmmakers, and designers with a kindred passion for storytelling. Our vision for a collective studio was dreamed up to answer the problem of frustrated brides and grooms waiting ages to see their photos or just get an email back and the problem of artists burned out on business-running because it’s impossible to do it all.

Right after we booked our church and venue, Studio This Is was next on our list because we couldn't imagine having anyone else shoot our wedding. We loved that Nancy and her team could beautifully capture both the major moments of our wedding and those little moments and reactions we might have missed. My husband and I were also drawn to the timelessness of her black & white photography. Studio This Is was one of our easiest and best vendors to work with. Nancy was always willing to work around my husband's unpredictable surgery residency schedule and even had an extra meeting with my parents to ensure that they felt comfortable before the big day. I would also recommend doing an engagement shoot before the wedding; not only do we love the pictures we have from that day, but it also gave us a chance to figure out what poses and locations worked best for us. As a couple who doesn't love taking photos, Nancy and her team made us feel completely comfortable at our engagement shoot and on our big day. Our wedding party and families loved them too! The photos from our wedding came out even more beautifully than we could have ever imagined, and we can't wait to finish putting together our album. I highly recommend Studio This Is and their associated partners (Wholehearted Films and Snapbooth Chicago) to perfectly capture your big day!

She Has A Really Annoying Habit Of Always Being Right, Even In The Face Of Modern Science. I’m English, She’s A Southern Belle. I Love Beer, She Loves Animals And Knits The Longest Scarves. We Both Have Interesting Noses. We’ve Both Won Many Photographic Awards, But I’m Not Allowed To Say Who’s Won The Most. I Hate Cucumbers. She Hates Baked Beans... Unbelievable! We come as a package and travel the world to capture the most beautiful moments in life.

If sarcasm and gifs are your languages of choice you know where to find me. I believe the less we take ourselves too seriously the more bearable life will be. I'm always down for anything in the dessert category and if you ever need a challenger in board games or someone to talk about tv or movies, say no more. It's this light-heartedness that I try to bring into each session with our couples. My promise as a photographer is to capture every couple with intention and care.

Peacemade shot our engagement shoot and our wedding in 2023. We could not have had a better experience with Gail and her team! Looking at their work piqued our interest and our first meeting with Gail locked in our decision. She answered all of our questions, was super responsive with our emails, and made sure we were all on the same page for the actual day of. Her and her team made taking photos and video feel organic and not staged. They were a blast to work with and we’ve recommended them to all of our friends and family. Would definitely book them again for any future shoots or events!

Tawny did both our wedding photos and our engagement shoot, and we were so happy with both results! She got just the vibe we were looking for and had a great mix of posed and candid shots. Turnaround was quick and all of our guests said our photos were incredible, as well.
