Maeve Collective is a premier wedding photography studio based in Oswego, Illinois, known for its classic, romantic, and timeless imagery. Founded by award-winning photographer Candace Sims, the studio combines refined artistry with a genuine connection to every coupleโ€”creating photographs that donโ€™t just look beautiful, but truly feel like you. Maeve Collective brings together a team of dedicated photographers who share the same vision, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence, ensuring a seamless and consistent experience for every couple.

โ€œHiring Candace was one of the best decisions we made for our July 2022 Chicago wedding. From our very first video call, she made us feel comfortable and relaxed. Her mix of professionalism and approachability made choosing her an easy decision. Our package included an engagement shoot, which was incredibly helpful. It gave us time to get to know Candace before the wedding and made us feel much more at ease in front of the camera. On the wedding day, greeting Candace arrived full of energy, excitement, and genuine joy - and that came through in every moment behind the lens. She hyped us and our wedding party up in the most authentic way. When we had to pivot locations for photos, Candace handled everything effortlessly, finding beautiful light and scenery on the fly as we walked down Michigan Avenue. Her communication was always clear and prompt. She sent sneak peeks right away and set expectations clearly for the full gallery. We love our photos and will cherish them forever. They capture our joy, our love, and all the people who made our day special. We highly recommend Candace to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. Her pricing is absolutely worth it for the heart, soul, and artistry she brings to her work. We hope to stay in touch with her for years to come - weโ€™re truly huge fans of Candace and her incredible talent.โ€

โ€œI came in for a color consultation with Nick and the Ageless Media team while I was still early in planning, and it honestly helped so much. Having my colors broken down made choosing my wedding dress feel clear instead of overwhelming, and it also helped us dial in the groomโ€™s suit and the overall palette for the day. It gave me confidence in the choices we were making and made everything feel more cohesive. Such a thoughtful part of the process.โ€

Megan Saulย Photographyย

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Shabbona, 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. Iโ€™m based in both Union, Illinois, and Florida, which allows me to capture weddings in a variety of beautiful settings. When Iโ€™m not behind the camera, Iโ€™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 couplesโ€”photos that will live on as part of their legacy.

โ€œMegan is amazing. She is a true artist. I have worked with her in various spaces, one in particular that a lot of photographers struggle with because of the lighting, and Megan came back with some of the best, most beautiful, moodiest (chef's kiss) photos I have seen.โ€

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.

โ€œFrom the moment we first spoke with Erik, we knew he was the perfect photographer for our wedding. His friendly and passionate personality immediately put us at ease, and his professionalism shone through every step of the way. Erik's work is truly exceptional - the photos he captured are authentic, beautiful, expressive, emotive, and elegant. He had amazing ideas for poses and shots that resulted in stunning, one-of-a-kind images that we will cherish forever. Erik made our wedding day incredibly fun and joyful, keeping us laughing and smiling the entire time. His efficient and organized approach ensured the photo portion of the day went seamlessly. We are beyond thrilled with the work Erik did and cannot recommend him highly enough for any couple looking for a truly talented and wonderful wedding photographer. Erik was so great to work with right from the start. I could tell right off the bat just through email that he was so passionate about the work that he does. He also showed so much excitement to get the opportunity to capture our special day. He was very professional and thorough when communicating with us. Our engagement photo session was SO fun, and my husband and I both immediately felt comfortable with Erik. He is so friendly and so easy to work with. Getting pictures taken like that with a significant other can feel awkward, but Erik made it anything but that! It felt very natural and enjoyable, and it felt the exact same way on our wedding day. He took the time to get to know us and our vibe, and rolled with that when taking our pictures. All of our pictures capture our relationship and our love so well, and Iโ€™m so thankful we chose Erik! If you want beautiful pictures and some super fun photo sessions, book Erik as your photographer!โ€

Timeless | Romantic | Classic Wedding photographer - I believe in the idea that "great photos are created from personal connection."

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.

โ€œCourtney 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 BLESSINGโ€” 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 Joyโ€

Whether celebrating love, connection, or a fleeting moment, Iโ€™m here to calm nerves, share laughter, and capture memories youโ€™ll cherish forever. Letโ€™s create something timeless and yours.

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.

โ€œWe 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.โ€

โ€œOur Original Weddings team in Georgia was great! All of them were very nice and seemed like they were enjoying capturing our special day. They captured so much of our wedding including many little moments and did a great job at being there but not taking up space. It never felt like they were in the way and they were great at directing us in moments we needed them to. We opted for the 4-12 weeks delivery and they delivered within 4 weeks on Christmas day which was a nice present! Overall was a great time with them and we are very happy with the photos and videos!โ€
