“Nova Photos did an incredible job at capturing our wedding day! Our coordinator made sure to ask for thorough details and asked us many questions to ensure our day came out smooth. Our photographer was Florin and he was amazing!!! Attentive, respectful, honest and personable. He made our experience so easy and we did not worry about capturing every important morning of our day. He posed us in creative ways while also taking traditional shots, made sure we had enough photos with everyone we wanted to take it with (we had a group of friends/family with us), and he made suggestions that we ended up loving as far as location/poses. The quality of the photos is very clear and high quality! We enjoyed the filters and editing that was done as well; it was not overdone. Overall, I recommend hiring Nova Photos if you want a seamless, thoughtful and thorough experience on your wedding day. Thank you!”

  • Serves South Wilmington, IL

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
“Working with Michelle was the best choice my wife and I made during our wedding preparations. Her photos are stunning. True professionalism, skill, and a keen eye for capturing those happy moments. But best of all, she has a warm personality which made working with her feel easy. She was able to photograph our Indian wedding with such class, that these memories will remain with us forever.”

“Jake is so much more than a wedding photographer—he’s a true visual storyteller. Every photo he took is filled with emotion, intention, and artistry. Looking at our photos now, I’m instantly transported back. He captured not only the big moments but also the quiet ones: stolen glances, joyful guests, the delicate details of our table settings. He saw everything without ever being in the way—so calm, so observant, so low-maintenance that we barely noticed him, yet he gave us the most complete and beautiful memory of our wedding. His attention to detail and his ability to see the full picture and the tiny moments is truly special! Jake made us feel totally comfortable in front of the camera, never forcing poses or interrupting the flow of the day. Instead, he brought our photo ideas to life with his own artistic touch—elevating them beyond what we imagined. If you’re looking for someone who will give you timeless, meaningful, and artful photos while letting you fully experience your wedding day—Jake is the one.”

Hi, I'm Abi! I'm an Illinois + Tennessee wedding photographer passionate about capturing your day as it truly unfolds. My approach blends documentary storytelling with gentle guidance, giving you space to be fully present while I preserve the real moments, genuine emotions, and little details that make your day yours.

“If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. Abigael went above and beyond in every possible way! From the moment we met, she made me and my husband feel comfortable, excited, and like absolute royalty. The photos? SLAMMING. Every single shot was stunning! Emotional, dreamy, and timeless. She captured moments I didn’t even know happened, and somehow made us look even better than we felt on the best day of our lives. Not only is Abigael insanely talented, but her energy and dedication were unmatched. She hustled, hyped us up, and made sure every little detail was captured perfectly. I’m still in awe going through our gallery! If you’re on the fence, you should have booked her yesterday. Your future self (and your wedding album) will thank you! Thank you Abigael!”

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.

“I genuinely cannot say enough wonderful things about Gracelyn and Molly! They were both absolutely AMAZING on our wedding day, and the previews we’ve received so far are beyond gorgeous. I am already so in love with our photos and cannot wait to see the rest! But what truly sets these two incredible women apart is that they went above and beyond in ways I never could have expected. They didn’t just capture beautiful moments and find the perfect backgrounds, lighting, and shots. They were helping with practically everything throughout the day! From coordinating the guys and keeping them on schedule, to helping me into my wedding dress before our first look, to hooking up my bustle before our first dance, they were there for all of it. And as if that weren’t enough, they even helped arrange our dessert table, making it look like something straight out of a Better Homes & Gardens magazine! They were so much more than photographers that day. They were an extra set of helping hands, a calming presence, and genuinely wonderful people to have by our sides during such an important moment in our lives. I truly could not be happier with our experience. Gracelyn and Molly are both incredibly talented, thoughtful, hardworking women who clearly put their hearts into what they do. 1000/10, a million times over! I would recommend them to absolutely anyone. Thank you both for helping make our wedding day so beautiful and unforgettable!”

“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.

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!

I've always loved taking pictures and for as long as I can remember, without even trying that hard. Everyone in my life was always telling me I take such perfect pictures, until one day I believed them. As an adult, it started with my own dogs: every Christmas I'd take their holiday pictures because they're cute and I had a camera. Somewhere along the way it became a real business. I'm in Kankakee, Illinois,, I'm easygoing and a little silly, and now I photograph weddings, families, maternity, and pets with a warm, unposed style that catches the little moments people actually keep. I'm small and I like it that way ! it means every session gets all of me, and your photos get treated like they matter, because they do.

“We were loved having Abby capture our wedding reception! Abby was excited about our day and communicated everything clearly, making the whole planning process smooth and stress-free. She showed up early to photograph all the small details we'd worked so hard on, and stayed late into the evening to capture every moment beautifully. One of our favorite photos happened when Abby caught a frog for us and turned it into one of the most unique and hilarious pictures from our reception. Her work is stunning with gorgeous lighting throughout, and every image is crisp and clear. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer.”

The happy tears, the nervous excitement, the big celebrations, and all those little moments you might not even notice happening. My approach is relaxed, natural, and focused on making you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I want you to enjoy your wedding day, be fully present, and trust that I'm capturing it all as it unfolds. More than anything, I want you to look back at your photos years from now and remember exactly how it all felt. I'd love to hear your story and be a part of your day!

“Amazing wedding photographer. I recommend Casandra to everyone. Very responsive, organized, and always took the time to answer all of our questions.On the day of the wedding, she was so calm and her coordination kept everything running perfectly :) thank you again!”

Hi and congrats on your engagement! I’ve been in the wedding industry for a while now, and I love photographing weddings! I look forward to seeing all the creative ideas and details that each couple brings to their big day. I love the excitement, the emotion, and the craziness that comes along with it; my job is to photograph it ALL!

“Highly recommend! She was great to work with and ensured both sides of the family were equally captured. Tracy made sure all desired family photos were done in a timely manner. Our couple photos were perfect.”

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. From there, things grew quickly and now my husband and I photograph 20+ weddings a year together! When I’m not photographing weddings throughout Chicagoland, you can find me snuggling our puppies Georgie + Jett, lovin’ on my family, spoiling the littles in our life as Auntie Kara, gardening in our backyard, and exploring breweries with my husband Kyle.

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

Welcome! I'm Brooke. I am so glad you're here. Grab a coffee, pull up your favorite chair and stay awhile. Catch up with the latest right here on the blog! My passion as a photographer comes from my love of art, creating memories, and my mother. In 2016 my mom passed away from Leukemia. My number one supporter, motivator, and overall most important person in my life was taken away from me way too early. Now all I have left are pictures.

“I cannot recommend Brooke enough!! She was such a pleasure to work with for both engagement photos and the wedding day. Her work is BEAUTIFUL!!!”
