I've been documenting weddings for 15 years! Your wedding will have so man quick and candid moments, and that's what I'm there for. The spontaneity. The honesty. The "beautiful" vs the "pretty". Hearing things like "Wow, we didn't even know that happened!" or "This is the best picture of my Grandpa I've ever seen," is what keeps me fired up year after year! I believe everyone deserves to feel welcomed, honored, and free to express their love for each other. I proudly support and celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community along with all cultural backgrounds and traditions!

We worked with Ryan for our engagement photos and wedding photos. He’s was super easy to work with and really took time to get to know us as a couple, which really comes across in all of our photos. Ryan helped us to come out of our shell for our photos while letting our unique vibe as a couple still come across.

  • Serves Oak Park, IL

Since our founding in 2015, we’ve been providing expert planning advice and helping clients curate the wedding of their dreams. We are proud to be a woman-owned and operated business! To have the opportunity to play a role in our clients’ wedding day is truly a special gift. We respect our clients’ visions and values, planning each wedding with the utmost care.

We cannot say enough great things about Michelle and her team at Bustle and Lace! Our wedding at The Fairlie in Chicago was an absolute dream—and it all ran flawlessly, thanks to her incredible work. From the very beginning, Michelle was a true professional and a calming presence. She maintained consistent and clear communication throughout the planning process and scheduled regular meetings to keep us on track with important milestones. She took charge of organizing with our many vendors—often without needing our involvement, which was a huge relief as the day approached. Michelle is incredibly well-established in the Chicagoland wedding scene and has clearly built strong relationships with many of the most popular local vendors—photographers, bands, DJs, caterers, florists, venues—you name it. That familiarity made coordination seamless and stress-free, and it was clear she had worked with many of our vendors before, which gave us even more peace of mind. She created a detailed, thoughtful timeline that covered everything from the bridal party’s hair and makeup arrival to the band’s final song and the venue teardown. Thanks to her preparation and the hard work of her team, everything went according to schedule without a single hiccup. On the wedding day itself, we were able to be fully present, knowing we were in the best hands. We didn’t have to worry about a thing and could simply enjoy every moment with our family and friends. We’re so grateful to Michelle and Bustle and Lace for making our wedding day stress-free and unforgettable. If you're considering a wedding coordinator, look no further—you’ll be so glad you booked her!

LM Studio could not have been a better choice for our wedding day! Kristin, Shelby, and the whole staff were absolute rockstars, especially the week leading up to the wedding! They were so helpful, and since we didn't have a planner, I literally feel like I could not have done it without them. In addition to the team, the venue was absolute perfection. It was so beautiful, and getting married in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows with that view was absolutely magical. We're big Chicago people, so being so close to the park and just a quick ride to the river was amazing for photos. We were a little worried that it would be a bit tight, but honestly it was a great size for our guest count of 150 people. Our guests kept raving about the space and the food! I cannot have asked for a more perfect day and I would 1000000/10 recommend LM Studio for your wedding day!!!

Kriztelle is an amazing photographer with eye for detail, and above all, an amazing person. She is reliable, trustworthy and loves to help you sort through the details of your wedding. Our marriage was held at Starved Rock State Park on February 2nd, and we were hit by a blizzard. While some of the (few) attendees cancelled because of the hazardous road conditions, Kriztelle didn't hesitate and got in her car! The result: Amazing pictures and great times! Aside from her talent for photography, she is a delightful person too. We had great fun talking to Kriztelle, and learning about her other endeavors and some of her personal life over the trajectory of planning our marriage. Kriztelle really takes te time to get to know her clients. She spend hours talking to us, sending us links, and meeting us in person. When we received the photos, both of us were overjoyed about the pictures and their quality. They really are the perfect compliment to an already perfect day. Do yourself a favor, and hire Kriztelle – she is a great photographer, with amazing vision, ideas, and overall a great person to work with and talk to. Thank you so much Kriztelle, for all you have done for us: the amazing pictures, the hours spend talking and laughing, the trips, the attention for detail, and the lovely stories about you and your husband.

I started coordinating/event planning in 2017 by creating, managing, and executing my own nurses brunch which started as a 12 person event and now has grown to hosting over 150 attendees annually. Over the last 3 years I've had the pleasure to plan, coordinate, and execute multiple weddings. What started as a personal hobby has transitioned into a business, and it has been a pleasure to be able to serve couples on their big day. My flat rate fee of $900 bundles all the needs of the couple from start to finish.

I have worked alongside Kylie in a few different event planning capacities, and her attention to detail and vision for flawlessly executing and coordinating celebrations is excellent! Kylie has years of experience coordinating within the realm of non-profits; including fundraising events, a yearly brunch for nurses, and volunteer appreciation dinners. In addition to this, Kylie has executed the coordination of several weddings. I would highly recommend using Kylie as your event coordinator. She will always bring the fun, energy and attention to beauty that every event deserves.

My couples become verrrry dear to my heart, and it gives me the deepest joy to be part of engagement season + wedding days.

Allie's documentary style immediately spoke to me (and of course, her film work.) She has SUCH an eye for detail and capturing the most intimate photos, no matter what kind of wedding you're having. She beautifully captured all the special moments of our day, from the more traditional portraits and pretty details to the most meaningful documentary-style shots with our family and guests. And like other reviewers have said, shooting with her feels like hanging out with a friend. From the moment we first spoke with Allie, her warm, friendly, and approachable demeanor put us at ease. My husband and I's favorite moments from the big day were sneaking off to shoot some cool photos with Allie. And she had So Many Amazing in-the-moment ideas for shots. All of them ended up being our favorites. Whenever we had a hick up in the day or something didn't go entirely as planned, Allie completely went with the flow and adjusted on the fly to get the most fun and genuine photos. We're thrilled with our both our wedding and engagement pictures and are so grateful to have these memories captured so perfectly! If you're considering Allie for your photographer, do it!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I found Unabridged Photography while looking for documentary/photojournalistic style photographers for our Chicago wedding. As soon as we talked to Ashley, we looked no further. Throughout the entire process they were collaborative and communicative. Our engagement shoot felt like meeting up with a friend. We were able to blend more editorial portraits with a candid depiction of our day. Ashley never makes you feel like any shot or maneuver is hard even as they are running behind you with four cameras strapped to their body- and you appreciate having every format. The result of that effort was an array of photos, both glamorous and understated, like nothing I've never seen, and something I could have pulled from my parents' wedding album. Not only an incredibly talented photographer, Ashley had great suggestions for shooting locations and is knowledgeable of what the city has to offer (and even suggested the bar where we hosted our Welcome Drinks!!). We opted out of having video at our wedding for several reasons, so the stakes for the photography were pretty high. Ashley's images made our wedding with nearly 200 guests feel intimate and look like a rager. You spend a lot of your wedding day with your photographer regardless of how posed your day is, and you can only hope that they are as warm, chill, and likeable as Ashley.

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.

Working with Christine was one of the best choices we made in planning our wedding! Her passion for photography and working with soon-to-be married couples shines through in everything she does. She was so kind, welcoming and warm from the start, which really helped us open up during our engagement photoshoot. Her level of professionalism is unmatched and her attention to detail is reflective in all the beautiful pictures she captured and edited of our special day. She also helped us craft a perfect timeline for our wedding weekend that allowed us to capture all the photos we wanted while still enjoying our day with our family & friends.

My name is Kate Scott Daly, and I can't wait to meet you! I'm a Chicago native and have been a professional photographer for nearly a decade. I am obsessed with capturing the perfect moment that will make you gasp and say "Oh my god, this is amazing!" Being a queer woman, it is so important to me that you feel safe, loved, and beautiful every step of the way. If you're looking for someone you can relax with and just be yourself, you've found me! Let's face it: it can be awkward being in front of a camera. Even I feel nervous sometimes! I understand that anxiety and will do everything I can to make you feel fabulous!

We cannot recommend Kate enough! From the moment we met her, she made us feel completely comfortable and celebrated our love with so much enthusiasm. As a queer couple, it was important for us to work with someone who not only respected but truly celebrated queer weddings, and Kate went above and beyond. She took the time to help us clarify our vision for our wedding photos, which was especially helpful since we only had 6 weeks to plan our wedding and felt a little overwhelmed by the process. She was a great guide and we immediately knew we were in good hands! Kate’s associate Ryan shot the photos on our wedding day and they captured every special moment—from the big emotional vows to the smallest, most intimate glances—with such artistry and care. The photos are breathtaking, full of life, and truly reflect the joy of our day. Right when Ryan arrived, they jumped in with capturing photos of small details and worked to capture everything we wanted for our special day. Kate and Ryan were both an absolute delight to work with—professional, fun, and incredibly talented. If you're looking for a photographer who will make you feel seen, respected, and celebrated while delivering stunning photos, look no further. We are beyond grateful for Kate and Ryan and will cherish these photos forever! Thank you for making our wedding memories so magical!

I have a lot of different sessions under my belt, but weddings and engagements are what I'm most passionate and excited about. I hope to capture your day even better than you imagined!

Leah came to our rescue when our photographer scammed us not only was she completely understanding of our situation, but she was so eager to help us in order to make our day special! Our wedding is in October, but she took our engagement pictures and they were beyond our expectations. Her work is absolutely incredible and she is extremely talented. I would highly recommend choosing her to take your photos.

I am a Chicago-based wedding + elopement photographer. I am available worldwide and love to travel! I document genuine moments for couples, no matter who they love. My images are the perfect mix of posed and photojournalistic, giving you gorgeous portraits without missing the important, candid moments you will want to remember for years to come. My approach to wedding days is simple: I want to make sure you have images of you two that you love and cherish and tell your wedding day story.

When I say I truly couldn’t be more grateful I found Tawny to capture all of the amazing moments for my husband and me, I mean it with my whole heart! Her thoughtfulness, kindness and general support and hype was everything and more we were looking for in a photographer. From engagement shoot, to boudoir, to wedding day, then post wedding portraits, she was always making sure we looked, but most importantly, felt our best! I’m forever grateful I found her!

She combines her unique sense of style and her passion for photography to create a photographic document that captures special moments, relationships, and love. Her style reflects a mix of a photojournalist’s reflexes, a portraitist’s eye, and the strong influence of the worlds of beauty and fashion.

I couldn’t recommend Daniela enough, she is extremely talented, she is super sweet and has the biggest heart you can ever imagine. Daniela put so much love into every time that she has photographed us. Her photos have so much quality, creativity and consistency. They are such a beautiful and special representation of our love and she was able to capture exactly how we were feeling at the moment, as she could feel exactly what we were feeling. I will cherish them forever. Definitely worth the investment of hiring Daniela.

We aren't your typical wedding photographers and videographers. And our kick ass couples aren't your typical brides and grooms. We are storytellers, and we capture moments made by people who are madly in love.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ed & Aileen were an absolute delight to work with for our wedding day. From the moment we first connected, they were attentive, communicative and punctual in all of their interactions. Their photography style is truly moving, with a keen eye for capturing all the small, thoughtful details that make your wedding day so special. Somehow, they managed to document all of the emotions of the day without ever feeling overbearing or taking attention away from us and our guests. In fact, everyone at the wedding raved about how much they loved working with Ed and Aileen and how they noticed that the photographers were great. We would use them again in a heartbeat - they are true professionals who delivered gorgeous, high-quality photos that we will cherish forever.
