Beauty by You Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,499
  • Serves South Pekin, IL

Beauty by You Photography is built on a deep love for stories, connection, and the magic that unfolds when two people promise forever. For 13 years, I’ve captured weddings with intention, emotion, and a dedication to preserving moments that become lifelong heirlooms. Every couple deserves an experience that feels effortless and personal, and I’m fully invested in your story. My curated collections include engagement sessions, online galleries, print releases, albums, and more.

We originally contacted Beauty By You because she had gorgeous portfolios and was a budget-friendly option! We loved her during our included engagement session as she had multiple poses planned, listened to my Pinterest inspirations, made us feel comfortable, and found the best “golden hour” lighting as requested even after the rain settled down! She was very integral with our wedding day planning as she helped figure out what time sunset photos would be and when to start the ceremony based on this! On the Wedding day, Her and her second photographer communicated very well together and made us feel like models the entire day! They worked very well with our videographers which could have easily been chaotic! To our surprise, my husband and I received the sneak peeks 12 hours after our reception ended! They were stunning! Recently just received our whole wedding day photos only 2.5 months later and they are exceptional! Truly priceless! Would love to highly recommend Beauty by you for any family or wedding photography!

I'm Tyler, I live in Illinois with my wife and 2 kids. I love to traveling, cycling, watching old film, and taking photos. I have 10 years of wedding photography experience. I have done over 100 weddings.

Tyler and his amazing wife photographed my wedding and they were everything I could’ve hoped for and more. Tyler is an attentive and creative photographer. He returned the images within a reasonable time and I could not have been happier with the results. Having him there to capture my day was the exact right decision, and I would recommend him to anyone who was looking for an attentive, talented, professional, and creative photographer for their special day.

Initial Impressions

  • Classic style
  • Serves South Pekin, IL

Hello! My name is Samantha Tomblin, owner of Initial Impressions. I’ve been doing photography for about 13 years now. The moment I began photographing, I fell in love with the whole process. My favorite part is capturing love, personalities and emotions in a still image. I’m a people person and love getting to know each of my clients, which I believe helps create a fun relaxing atmosphere at each of my sessions.

Samantha and her second shooter, Katie, were fantastic to work with. We were a bit hesitant working with someone we didn't know from personal connections, but the positive reviews convinced us it was worth a shot. We are very thankful we hired Initial Impressions! From the beginning, Samantha communicated clearly and frequently. She was super patient with us, a bride and groom who weren't exactly sure what they wanted and were often slow at getting back to her, and helped us draft a schedule for the photographers for the Big Day. She was really good about letting us make decisions and augmenting them with her expert advice. On the day of, she and Katie were supportive and kind while being unobtrusive. I was surprised when we got our photos back to see moments that I had no idea they had captured! Extremely professional and excellent at capturing special moments. Speaking of getting photos back, Initial Impressions sent us the whole gallery only 3 weeks after the event with over 800 photos. We absolutely love them! From her consistent communication, ability to guide indecisive people, pleasant attitude, and superb professionalism, we would 100% work with Initial Impressions again.

We absolutely loved working with OLAS! Our team (photo & video) was so adaptable to the venue and had great ideas for shots and making the most of the location. I loved all of the candids taken of the guests which is something I wanted during the ceremony and reception. We were able to see parts of the night that we would have missed. The planning team was also great- Hannah was very helpful in giving me an example timeline ahead of our call. We’re so pleased with our choice to select OLAS!

The turnaround time for those photos was great and the quality of work was not compromised by how quickly we got them. For our wedding day they were able to catch all the best moments without making the day feel like it was all about photos.

My husband and I cannot recommend Ali enough to anyone looking for a photographer!! We first got in contact with Ali last year for our planned wedding, but due to unforeseen circumstances we were unable to have our big day, BUT we were lucky enough to transfer her services over to my sister and brother and law! After meeting Ali in person on their wedding day and seeing the magic she can do, it was an absolute no brainer that she would be there for our big day and any and every other event we need photography for! She truly became family and we cannot thank her enough for everything she’s done! She goes above and beyond in her work and truly makes the day so much easier and more fun than ever!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. 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. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
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.
