From the moment we first contacted Forest City Photographs, we were impressed by their attentive, warm, and professional communication. Joel and his team have an incredible eye for capturing precious, genuine, and timeless moments. On our wedding day, Joel (and Tyler!) managed to beautifully document the most vulnerable and special moments, transporting us back to the best day of our lives every time we look at the photos. The value they provided is truly priceless, and we couldn't be happier with the incredible work they delivered. We are absolutely blown away. You can clearly tell from their work as well as a single conversation with them, that they LOVE what they do and they pour their passion into these photographs. The amount of gratitude we have for Forest City Photographs is immeasurable!! ️ We would choose them a million times over and over again!

I've always been a creative at heart, my own mother is an artist so maybe it's genetic? However, photography was never on my radar.

One interesting FACT about me: I am published in Shutter Up Magazine. How cool? Welcome and I am so thrilled you are interested in choosing me to document your special day! I believe that choosing a wedding photographer is about more than just hiring someone with a camera to document your day. Your wedding photographer should be someone who inspires you, and someone who eases wedding day jitters. All of my packages have TRAVEL FEES included in the price. My only ask is a hotel room on you! Wherever my images take me I will go and am willing to travel outside of Illinois. I am LBGQT friendly as well!

Shutter Lane Imagery was absolutely fantastic to work with for our wedding photography. From the very first interaction, Jasmine was quick to respond, incredibly kind, and made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. Her communication style was top-notch, always keeping us informed and addressing any questions or concerns we had. The quality of their work is simply stunning - Jasmine has an incredible eye for detail and captured the most beautiful, creative, and spontaneous moments of our special day. As someone who can feel awkward in front of the camera, Jasmine's direction and guidance put me completely at ease, and the end result is an album I'll cherish forever. You can tell Jasmine is not only an amazingly talented photographer, but also has a beautiful soul to match. She was flexible, accommodating, and went above and beyond to ensure our vision was brought to life. I would recommend Shutter Lane Imagery to any couple looking for a photographer who truly cares about their craft and delivering an exceptional experience.

Weddings are definitely close to my heart! My goal is to produce images that you can look back on for the rest of your lives and feel good vibes only! I want this day to be as stress free as possible for you on my end -- so if I need to be a wedding coordinator, dress fluffer, hair fixer, dance partner, people wrangler, or whatever it may be on top of being your photographer, I GOTCU!

I am a wedding film maker and I have had the pleasure of working with Tiffany on many occasions. She is very good at her job and is laid back, easy to work with and makes everyone feel comfortable on their wedding days. Sometimes Videographers and Photographers can clash on a wedding day, but Tiffany goes above and beyond to make sure we work together well. That's a big deal, because the last thing you want is two vendors fighting on the biggest day of your life. There are no second chances on a wedding day. I highly recommend Tiffany and when you decide to hire her, just know that you are in the best hands and you'll be so thankful you had her as your Photographer once your wedding day is over and you can relive those moments with breathtaking photos.

Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography and DJ. I had first reached out to Darcy before I had even booked a venue - I just loved the editing style of the photos. Our lead Denida and and second shooter Will were friendly, communicative, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire wedding day. They kept us on schedule, if not ahead of it, and Denida even showed us some incredible photos as she was taking them. Will captured great shots of the groom and groomsmen, and also provided excellent second angles. I am so thankful we got to work with them. We also bundled our photography with the DJ, who was also wonderful - DJ Floyd kept the energy up all night, mixed the music perfectly, and checked in to make sure everything was going well. With OLAS, we were able to capture so many great memories and beautiful photos that we'll cherish forever.

Between 2023-2024 of wedding planning, I had found Albany Capture on Zola and decided to book their services after doing some research. Wedding planning didn’t go accordingly at first to the point where I had to change the venue and date. Luckily Albany Capture was still available in spite of all the changes and was flexible in working along with us.

I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

My husband and I were from out of town and hired Sean to photograph us at a Christmas gala at the place we got married. He was accommodating to last minute changes to make the most of the session and even went above and beyond to make it happen. Upon first impression, he was upbeat and had a vision. We were outside in sub 30 degree weather with fading evening light as well as low light inside a building and he was up for the challenge. We ended up with beautiful images in less than ideal conditions and that is what makes a great photographer. Sean has a sense of humor and an eye for that perfect photograph. He was fun to work with and his heart for people and creativity shows through. Thank you Sean for capturing this time in our lives.

VIDART shot our small backyard wedding in Elgin. He was super chill and helped calm us down when the DJ showed up late. The only thing is a couple of the family group pics have random chairs in the background I forgot to move, but he cropped them out in edits. The highlight video literally made everyone tear up. Absolutly worth it.

My name is Ali Cushing, a NY-based/working anywhere, visual storyteller who captures the authentic experience with intention. It's feeling, and it's found in the whirlwind and the still moments, in heightened emotion and calm, and above all, celebrating what makes you and your partner exactly who you are with the people you choose to surround yourself with. In my work composition serves to frame the feeling, with permission to be raw, outrageous, reserved, and unabashedly yourself. I make photos about the day and not the day about the photos. All couples of all genders, ethnicities, ages, faiths, shapes and abilities, are more than welcome.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the most amazing time working with Ali! We had kind of a long engagement and we initially started working with Ali over a year and a half before our wedding to get our engagement photos done. Not only were the photos beautiful, but Ali made us feel super comfortable and at ease throughout our session. Leading up to our wedding day, Ali was amazing at coordinating the day of timeline with our coordinator and making sure that all the elements that were important to us were included so that we had enough time to capture the moments. One of my favorite things about working with Ali is her calm presence. Every time I was stressed about something in the planning process about the timeline I would talk to Ali and she would immediately make me feel at ease. She was constantly reminding me that the most important thing on my wedding day was to be present with our friends and family (and as a type A bride this was a much-needed reminder!) Ali also came to take photos at our rehearsal dinner and welcome party which was great because she got to know our families and our family dynamics before our big day which was a huge help! On the wedding day Ali and the second shooter Scottie were rockstars! They went above and beyond at every opportunity from helping the boys tie a bow tie, climbing out on my fire escape to get a crazy photo that I had in mind, moving locations at last minute, dealing with rain, helping bustle my dress, and of course capturing all the beauty of our perfect day. I will not hesitate to work with Ali and her team again! She’s amazing, a true professional, and I hope we have the chance to have her capture our big milestones in the years to come.

Our package included an engagement session and Lacie worked out a weekend she was already in Chicago to accommodate us. Leading up to our session, we had issues with controlled fires and protests in our preferred location, but Lacie found us a spot that blew my expectations for photos out of the water. She gave us a sneak peak and also got our pictures back to us super quick. On our big day, Lacie and Tim(her husband/second photographer) were the best to work with. They made us feel comfortable and captured our day better than we could have imagined. As soon as they got there, they got straight to work. Lacie got all the details and getting ready photos that I will cherish forever. Things were running behind the day of and they let us add on an hour to our contract the day of and pay at a later date. This ensured that we got dance floor photos and it was so worth it! Specifically getting pictures of my husband's grandmother in her 80s dancing with all her grandkids. We received a sneak peak very quickly and our whole (massive) gallery less than 2 months after the wedding. For as many photos as we got, this was a crazy quick turn around. Overall, PictureMeThisByLacie captured our day better than we could have ever imagined, we could not recommend them more!

A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light.

We cant recommend Philip and JZ Studio enough!! From beginning to end, he was so helpful, accommodating, and responsive. He made us feel comfortable right away during our engagement shoot and we were laughing the whole time. We had open communication about what we liked and didnt like and how to pose etc and it helped so much for our wedding day. The day of was great and they helped with our timeline and shot list. We had 2 photographers and a videographer all day which we recommend as well. Not only did we love our wedding pictures, but our video turned out amazing. We will cherish the photos, videos, and wedding album forever! Philip was always quick to respond to emails and texts and it really eased my wedding planning process. He had been to our wedding venue before which really helped as well. I am so happy we decided to book with JZ Studio!

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!

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.

Bogdanov Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding day. From the moment we first connected, Svat was outgoing, reachable, and prompt in his communication, putting us at ease throughout the entire planning process. He gave us a comprehensive checklist and many tips for the makeup trial, rain preparation, and building our shot list. His detail-oriented, gorgeous photography captured all the special moments of our day in a truly high-quality and affordable way. He was flexible and generous with his time and saved us quite a bit of money finding the perfect package to suit our exact needs. Svat went above and beyond, even gifting us beautiful Polaroid photos just before we left for the evening. We were crunched for time before the ceremony, but he was still able to capture so many meaningful moments that surprised us and beautiful accessory layouts. We couldn't be happier with our forever photos - Svat went above and beyond and we highly recommend his work to any couple looking for an amazing wedding photographer.
