  • Serves South Wilmington, IL

Hey there! I’m Sheena! Your go-to wedding photographer, hype girl, professional chaos wrangler, timeline planner, dress fluffer, & so much more! I have been capturing love stories for a little over 10 years now and I wouldnt have it any other way. Being alongside couples during one of the most meaningful seasons of their lives is my passion. You’re not just a client. You’re someone I’m genuinely cheering for. My couples often tell me I feel more like a longtime friend, and that’s exactly how I like it. I’m big on communication, making you feel comfortable, & helping your day run smoothly so you can actually be present without the stress.

Awarded Best of Zola
Don’t hesitate to book with Sheena! Not only a great photographer but an amazing person as well. Ever since booking with Sheena for our wedding over a year out she was consistently in communication with us to prep for the big day as well as answering any questions I had about the logistics of the day leading up to it. The day of the wedding I was stressed with the timing of things and she kept me calm and assured that it would all be okay and made it work whenever we were cutting it close with time. I really appreciated the energy she had when I was stressing. Andrea also accompanied Sheena and was just as great. I definitely recommend booking Sheena’s 2nd shooter too because it’s a life saver when you’re tight on time and want to maintain your intended wedding schedule. Both women were super on top of getting all the shots I wanted and even jumped in to help outside of their photographer duties which was much appreciated. When my venue hadn’t lit all my candles minutes before cocktail hour they immediately started helping light candles and when my venue didn’t have a plate and silverware at our cake cutting table they sprinted to find some. Couldn’t be more grateful to have them there on our big day. When we had our engagement shoot with Sheena we were blown away by how amazing the pictures turned out and how she captured the sunset. I had a vision in mind and she made it come to life. All of our family and friends were astounded by how amazing those pictures were and we can’t wait to see all of our wedding photos and are already wowed by the sneak peaks she posted of our day!

What started out as a hobby, evolved into a great passion. With a camera on hand for every event, I spent my lunch money as a young kid developing films at the photo store. I became so fond of capturing as many organic moments as I can in photographs and fell in love with the idea of telling people's stories in images rather than words. I started venturing into professional photography right after my own wedding to my high school sweetheart, Erick, which was back in 2014. I LOVE everything wedding-related. My favorite to photographs are the wedding details, the bride and groom portraits and anything that will make me either cry or laugh!

We received our entire wedding gallery so quickly after the wedding. Michelle is beyond professional and truly makes sure your wedding is photographed just the way you want.

I’m Gracelyn, the face behind the camera and someone who truly cares about the people in front of it. I picked up my first camera at 9 years old, photographing my siblings and creating little photoshoots just for fun. After rediscovering photography post-COVID, I instantly felt that same joy and knew this was my dream. I photographed my first wedding two years ago and am now stepping into my first full season. My style is light and airy, blending documentary storytelling with true-to-life portraits, capturing both meaningful details and emotional moments.

Grace was absolutely amazing to shoot with! She took the time to contact me before the shoot to ask me for inspiration of what poses I wanted to do during our session. She was so kind and patient with us throughout the whole thing. We even did an outfit change and she was so accommodating! I will absolutely be booking again with her this year.

I can't even begin to describe how absolutely amazing and wonderful our experience was with Moira! When we first contacted Moira she called us to go over our questions, and her services, it was so nice to be able to have a conversation about what we wanted and what she would provide! In the time leading up to our engagement shoot, I had changed my mind on location multiple times and Moira was extremely understanding and helped my vision come to life! We took our engagement pictures at the public library where I met my (now) husband and even took some pictures in the rain at our favorite park! Moira worked thru the downpour and got some AMAZING shots! Leading up to our wedding we met with Moira to go over timeline and she helped to make sure we would have enough time allocated for everything we wanted. On our wedding day Moira was punctual and extremely amazing to work with! We had to move some things around timeline wise and it all worked out beautifully. Our pictures are absolutely INCREDIBLE. I'm obsessed with them and she captured our day perfectly. I hope this review helps with your decision to pick your photographer, and I would HIGHLY recommend working with Moira, she is the best of the best!

Hey love, I’m Kara - your Nikon-loving, sunset-obsessed photographer and wedding cheerleader! When my sister got engaged in 2010 and I invested in my first camera, I started to experience the joy of documenting love stories as I photographed her engagement session - my very first session.

Kara is one of our favorite photographers to work with, and we have nothing but great things to say about her work!
