I’m a 36-year-old husband to Samantha, dad to Silas and Fiona, and servant to our extremely wiggly companion, Moxie. I’ve spent 12 years documenting 400+ weddings, but I don’t really see myself as just your photographer. I’m your best friend at your side who happens to have a camera, documenting your day on digital, film, and Super 8. I’m also a stay-at-home dad, philatelist (postage stamp collector, (lol), LEGO freak, craft beer nerd, camera collector, and owner of an orange refrigerator because apparently normal refrigerators weren’t weird enough for us, haha.

Awarded Best of Zola
“The quality of Erik's work as a photographer is unparalleled. He truly captured the "light, bright, airy" aesthetic that I loved when I first started researching different styles. He is highly detailed oriented which is a must for somebody like me who really notices all the little details. He went above and beyond by traveling to our engagement shooting location all the way in Madison, WI! When it came to shooting the big day, Erik orchestrated everything perfectly including calming me down during a stressful moment, making us all laugh, and capturing all the "good angles". From the first few photos I received, his work made me feel absolutely beautiful. When I shared with others, the first thing they commented was: "Wow, Your photographer KILLED it with the wedding photos!" Extremely high quality editing....Erik is worth every penny and I would highly recommend him to anyone!”

Our lead photographer was Bogdan & Elena was our second shooter. Their presence and professionalism at our wedding was excellent. They helped us stay on time, guided us to take the best photos (we are not naturals in front of the camera), and ensured we got every shot that I put on my list! We love the mixed formal and candid photos that they took of us. Bogdan & Elena worked flawlessly with our videographer.

I have been a wedding photographer for over 13 years now, but I'm still excited about every wedding I shoot. Every day is different, and I love the excitement and the genuine relationships that I get to capture between the couple, their parents, their siblings, and their best friends. My goal is to help each couple have the best possible day, while capturing their memories in the most flattering and memorable way.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Bryson and I had the honor of working with Mary Rose for our wedding and we were so blessed by her partnership and her craft - not only did she get us previews less than 24h after the event itself, we had the full gallery one month later. And the photos were AMAZING. She captured the formal portraits and the unseen moments in the most tender way. Her presence is calming and encouraging; she is an expedient communicator leading up the event, extremely collaborative yet informative. We knew we were in good hands with a pro like Mary Rose. She is the confidant you want by your side no matter what curveballs the wedding day may throw or family dynamics may bring.. We knew we wanted to work with Mary Rose during our first consultation call, when she found a chicken egg in her pocket from her farm, because she is just that cool. And to this day and for years and years to come, we cherish the photos that she was able to capture. It is an honor to work with Mary Rose and I suggest you do the same!”

She captured exactly what we wanted...all of the big emotional moments, the little in-between moments, and so many genuine, candid photos that feel completely true to us. She has such a talent for capturing the emotion and energy of a moment without anything feeling overly posed or staged.

I captured my first wedding in August of 2018, it was the day I fell head over heels in love with wedding photography. It's all about capturing the love story for me..the feels from beginning to end. When you book with AGS, you're signing on for an adventure. Your engagement session is a celebration full of us getting to know one another, lots of laughter, and having fun! As your wedding nears closer AGS will help with your timeline, connect with your vendors ( or introduce you to some of the best) and help plan out the perfect photo locations, along with any other needs to create the perfect day.

“Arleigh and her team are beyond amazing! It’s as if your best friend is behind the camera and helping you every moment. Arleigh and Jordan went so far and above what I could have ever imagined. They jumped in with whatever last minute things needed assistance and made my family feel so at ease. Their love for what they do and ease with everyone comes through without a doubt. I didn’t expect to find such an amazing person to capture all the little moments in our lives, but I not only found that, but someone I plan to keep as friend as well!”

My name is Abby, owner of Wren and Rose Photography! I am based in the western Chicago suburbs and I am all capturing authentic moments and good vibes. I like to say that I am the wedding photographer for the rad souls and the groovy lovers, but truly everyone is welcome here. When it comes to my approach to wedding photography, I am big on really getting to know you two, learning about your love story, understanding your vision, and working collaboratively to ensure your day is as stress free as possible. I may be your wedding photographer, but relationships are so important to me with each client I work with.

“Abby was absolutely wonderful every step of the process for our wedding! I loved her energy and excitement for us and the process from just getting to know us over the phone, to working together in person. We weren’t going to do an engagement shoot, but as time went on we started getting FOMO and asked Abby if she could accommodate it last minute. She made it happen and the pictures were amazing!! It got us so so pumped for the wedding day. She posed us when needed but also stepped away at just the right moments to capture sweet candid moments. Her and her team are considerate, polite, and skilled!!!! We are OBSESSED with our album. You cannot go wrong hiring Wren and Rose!”

Documentary Wedding Photography for Couples Who Value Real Moments: A wedding isn't a photoshoot. It's a day filled with moments that will never happen again—a nervous smile before the ceremony, your dad's expression as he sees you for the first time, the hug from your grandmother that lasts just a little longer than expected. Those moments can't be staged, repeated, or recreated. That's why I photograph weddings the way I do.
