Shannon VanDyke Photography was a dream to work with for our wedding photos. Shannon's communication throughout the planning process was amazing - she was very responsive over email and phone, and took the time to understand exactly what we envisioned for our big day. On the wedding day itself, Shannon was a total pro - she made sure to capture all the special moments, and her attention to detail was incredible. The photos turned out beautifully - Shannon perfectly captured the emotion and joy of the day. She went above and beyond to make sure we got photos with all of our guests during the photo bomb game, which was a fun way to include everyone. Overall, we were thrilled with Shannon's services and the gorgeous photos to remember our wedding day. Her professionalism and artistic eye resulted in timeless images we will cherish.

Christian Isaac Photography

  • Serves Pecatonica, IL

I'm Chris, on my 13th year of event & weddings photography. At your hands you have a photographer who documents and enjoys the fun spontaneous emotions for candids and poses. I believe photography helps maintain life's special moments for people that like to keep watching and rewinding memory lane and I am one of them. I believe photography is fun, life-giving, adventurous for the right people and I look forward to answering any of your questions.

As a wedding photographer myself, I’m extremely selective about who I trust to capture the most important moments of my life. Choosing Chris was one of the best decisions we made. His talent, eye for detail, and soft artistic touch truly stood out from the very beginning. My wife and I were especially impressed by his kindness and patience throughout the entire day. He brought such a calm, positive energy that made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. The way he captured our emotions and the little in‑between moments was everything we hoped for. Chris isn’t just a skilled photographer — he’s someone who genuinely cares about the couples he works with. We’re incredibly grateful for the beautiful memories he created for us. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a photographer with both artistry and heart.

Megan Saul Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Pecatonica, IL

Photography has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. What started as a childhood passion grew into a lifelong pursuit of storytelling through images. I’m based in both Union, Illinois, and Florida, which allows me to capture weddings in a variety of beautiful settings. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m gardening, traveling, or spending time with my partner, Kenny, and our three pets. My work has been featured in many publications, but what truly drives me is creating honest, meaningful imagery for my couples—photos that will live on as part of their legacy.

Megan did our engagement, boudoir, and wedding photos and I cannot love her or her work more. She is a total artist and captured us, our friends and family, and the vibe of our wedding so magnificently. She worked with everyone so well and provided direction when needed but also just did her thing and the results are beyond gorgeous. Will be working with her for every future event!!

I'm a 35-year-old husband to Samantha, our son Silas, daughter Fiona, and our wiggler companion Moxie. I've been a wedding photographer for 11 years, having photographed over 300 weddings and countless other sessions! My hobby is also my job, and you bet my wife loves that, haha. I am also a stay-at-home dad, a philatelist, a Lego freak, and a craft beer nerd, and we have an orange fridge, haha.

We are not from the area so the first time we officially met Erik was the day of our wedding. From the moment we met, Erik’s energy was calm and confident. I can’t think about my perfect day without thinking about how incredible he was. As soon as he arrived, the energy in the room lifted. He was funny, cracking jokes and also very focused in the details. Without even realizing it—or maybe he did—he helped me carry the mental load of the day. It felt like he knew his role was more than just capturing beautiful photos. He reminded me to be present and to truly live in each moment. He also went with the flow and made any and all of my requests happen like taking photos yards away or running up flights of stairs for that perfect picture. And let me just say—it was 100 degrees outside. Yet there he was, juggling multiple cameras and bags, fanning my dress, offering me his personal fan, and handling all the little things that only someone who is a true master of their craft would even think to do. Choosing Erik as our photographer was, hands down, one of the best decisions we made. He is truly one of a kind. My husband and I are incredibly grateful for his time and are honored to have had him photograph our day.

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

Meg Dunn Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Pecatonica, IL

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 was an absolute pleasure to work with! From engagement pictures to our actual wedding day, Meg felt more like a good friend than just another vendor. She and her assistant, Vic, took the time to understand our priorities and ensure that each and every moment we wanted to capture was covered. In addition to this, they were also insanely creative creating images we didn’t even think about or consider. You’d be silly not to consider her.

Hi! I'm an editorial wedding and portrait photographer based in Illinois, but I'm willing to travel anywhere with you. I've been in the industry for 5 years and have really found a love for weddings. Van Horn photography is owned and run by me, Melissa Van Horn. My fiancé does videography as an add on option and we are getting married this Fall 2026!! So we can relate to the stress of weddings. We are here to help out anyway we can. I can't wait to hear about your wedding and how I can help bring your vision to life.

Melissa from Van Horn Photography is so nice and easy to work with. Her communication was clear and organized, which made everything feel stress-free leading up to the big day. During our wedding, she had great ideas for shots, gave us solid direction, and made sure we got all the photos we wanted. She even helped re-curl my hair to make sure I looked my best in every frame. Melissa's work is intentional yet still feels organic and natural, which is exactly what we were looking for. We felt super comfortable around her the whole time, and we couldn't be happier with how our photos turned out. We've continued to use her for all of our big life events!

Ryan Davis Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Pecatonica, IL

I photograph weddings for people who'd rather enjoy their day than spend it posing for photos. For more than 15 years I've been documenting the laughter, happy tears, dance floor chaos, and the little moments you never saw coming. My goal is simple: make you feel comfortable, stay out of the way when it matters, and create photos that feel like your wedding, not a photoshoot.

For so, so many reasons, Ryan should be your wedding photographer. He was AMAZING! I think my favorite thing about him is his calming demeanor. But his superpower is his uncanny ability to feel the rhythm of the day and find its essence. My daughter and son-in-law got married at Anderson Japanese Garden, and Ryan scoped out the garden before the wedding so he knew all the best appts for color, background, and pop. He has a great feel for catching the best poses without posing his subjects. He is prompt, professional and the coolest human being! I can’t recommend him highly enough!

My love for photography began in Rockford, IL, where I discovered storytelling through a lens. Over the years, I’ve captured Midwest landscapes, national parks, and life’s meaningful moments. What started with local events and concerts grew into a passion for weddings and portraiture. I believe the best photos come from genuine connections, so I prioritize building relationships to understand your story and vision. Whether celebrating love, connection, or a fleeting moment, I’m here to calm nerves, share laughter, and capture memories you’ll cherish forever. Let’s create something timeless and yours.

Tyler is an incredible photographer to work with; he's able to make all participants feel comfortable and engaged, and this is where the magic happens! Tyler's skilled eye allows him to quickly map out pleasing compositions while capturing candid emotion - it's the best of both worlds! Your photos will feel authentic AND gorgeous. We would absolutely book with Tyler again!

We are Aaron & Lindsey, the husband and wife team that makes up Palette of Light Photography & Video. We are enthusiastic artists with a passion for telling authentic and inspirational stories through art. We specialize in editorial style wedding photography and videography, as well as, family portraiture.

From our very first conversation, we knew Palette of Light was the perfect choice for our wedding videographers. Lindsey and Aaron are an amazing husband and wife team, and from the moment we met them, they made us feel completely at ease. On our wedding day, they were professional, organized, and so easy to be around. It honestly felt like we had friends capturing our day instead of vendors. They blended seamlessly with our family, friends, and all of our other vendors while somehow managing to capture every meaningful moment without ever feeling intrusive. Their attention to detail and ability to preserve genuine emotions is truly incredible. The biggest surprise was waking up the morning after our wedding to find a highlight reel waiting for us. We watched it over and over because it captured the joy, love, and energy of our day so perfectly. It was such an unexpected gift to be able to relive those moments so quickly, and it made us even more excited to see the full wedding film. We have not received our full video yet, but after seeing the highlight reel and experiencing how much care and passion Lindsey and Aaron put into their work, we already know it is going to be something we will treasure forever. If you are looking for videographers/photographers who are not only incredibly talented but also kind, genuine people who truly care about telling your story, we cannot recommend Palette of Light highly enough. They gave us memories we will cherish for a lifetime, and we are so grateful they were part of our wedding day.

I'm Chrissy and I'm a documentary wedding photographer with 10+ years of experience who fully believes that your life deserves to be documented truthfully. My focus at your wedding isn't to steal you away from your family and friends for hours to make "art," but to empathically capture the moments and relationships present at your wedding. Your wedding photos are the single most important wedding investment you'll make. After the day is done and over, they will be what tethers you to your memories of your day. They will be the heirlooms you'll pass down to your grandchildren to hang on walls and sit on bedsides for generations to come.

We loved Chrissy! She was fun and easy to work with, and I loved that she provided color and black/white photos. She did everything on our list, and listened to our ideas as well. Nothing felt forced or over-posed, but she was great at guiding next moves when needed. Will definitely use again for future photos.

It’s about time. Twenty years from your wedding day, the pictures will take you back to every moment you recall, and perhaps many more you’d thought you’d forgotten. It’s my job to help you remember. My name is Mike Hope, and I’ve done this for a while. I started shooting weddings 15 years ago. The years add up–in a good way. Every wedding is different, but some things stay the same: the intimacy; the hidden moments; the celebrations. However you wish to honor each other, I’ll be there. I’ll document it. And you’ll have something to look back on for the rest of your lives together.
