Bayo was truly a mind reader — constantly in the right place at the right time and somehow captured every special moment without ever feeling staged or forced.

Our wedding was September 5, 2025 & we needed two photographers to capture a key moment (his perspective looking down the aisle & mine looking up the aisle). We also wanted a videographer to capture the entire ceremony & reception. I saw the great reviews & contacted George Street. I was impressed by their prompt response & the options they provided for us. We got to preview some of the photographers past photos to ensure we are captured how we want to be captured (I wanted more candids than posed photos). Our lead photographer, Colleen was absolutely amazing & so was the assistant photographer, Cyion. The pictures turned out gorgeous along with the video from our wedding date. Thank you to Colleen, Cyion, Nikeem & George Street for capturing our wonderful day. I CAN'T recommend y'all enough!

Digital + Film Wedding Photography Hi! I'm Emma, owner and lead photographer of Emma Mullins Photography. Our goal is simple: to capture your vibe, your people, and your love in a way that looks and feels true to life. We just wrapped our 13th Chicago wedding season, and it's been a whirlwind of all things real and fabulous! Emma Mullins Photography embraces diversity and inclusivity. We are a proud ally of the LGBTQ+ community and happy to serve humans of every background, gender and identity.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are huge fans of Emma! Here are 5 reasons she should also be your wedding photographer: 1. Emma is incredibly nice and was so generous with wedding organizing wisdom. She helped us feel more confident about the thousands of small details in the entire process, from our first Zoom meeting with her to the engagement photo shoot to the final shots on our wedding day 2. She is incredibly thorough as a communicator. We never had any question about what she needed or what she was doing before, during, or after the ceremony. And she was even very communicative via email with our moms(!) 3. She is so organized but also so creative. She kept our wedding day smooth by planning out all the posed shots needed, and she got all photos back to us in an always impressive timeframe. But she was also always open for a surprising shot or a little experiment. It made her work feel even more personal 4. She was a rock star on our wedding day, if you couldn’t tell. And she was a super fun hang during our engagement photo session, which featured Emma, my wife, and I improvising playful shots during a sudden rain storm(!) 5. Most of all, when she’s taking photos of you, her excitement in that moment fires you up more and makes you feel so comfortable. She makes you feel like your pictures are the best wedding photos ever taken. (But ours were, obviously)

Awarded Best of Zola
TWA Photographic Artists were straightforward and direct in their communication, and kept us on schedule throughout our wedding day. Their work was great, capturing many timeless and detailed shots. However, at times they seemed a bit hurried when working with our wedding party and guests, though they remained attentive and eager to get the right shots. For example, the photographer remembered the little details that made our photos special, but we felt a bit rushed after the ceremony and didn't fully capture the joy of those moments. Overall, TWA provided solid photography services, but could have been a bit more patient and attuned to our desired pace for the day.

Audrey went above and beyond for our wedding, and I couldn't ask for a better photographer!! She made us both feel very comfortable in front of the camera, but that started well before the day, by meeting in person to discuss our priorities, joining a venue walkthrough, and creating a timeline for us. We had a mostly DIY friend set up wedding so all her experience and advice was greatly appreciated--I even heard she helped light tea candles when my friends were in a pinch. AND the photos are STUNNING, but what truly made the experience special was how much Audrey got to know us, and we recommend her 100000%

You may not know it, but you're actually not looking for a wedding photographer. After all, that is just one aspect of what we do! And I'm not a normal wedding vendor... I'm a commissionable artist and consultant to the aesthetics and atmosphere of your day with nearly 20 years of industry experience (including planning my husband and I's wedding).

Lux Everlasting was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. From the moment we first spoke with Clayton, we were impressed by his kind, professional, and truly relatable personality. The quality of his work is truly stellar- it genuinely was worth every single penny for us. The photos and video footage he captured were absolutely beautiful; literally had me gasping at how perfectly our day was documented. My family loved working with Clayton too, they all complimented how much fun he was and how beautiful our photos were, and that they would find an excuse to hire him for something lol. Clayton also eased a lot of my anxiety with his calm presence, he even talked me through a difficult moment which was unexpected and greatly appreciated. We highly recommend Lux Everlasting for any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience. My husband and I absolutely adore Clayton as a professional, and also as the awesome human being that he is, and hope to be able to work with him again in the future. 10/10 experience all around. I wish I could add more than 6 photos!! I picked these to show the range of his work; candid, editing, posed, group shots, ect.

A cinematic eye. --- A bleeding heart. --- An inclusive spirit. --- I've picked up a camera just about every day since I fell in love with photography in 2013. Though every shoot holds something unique, it takes a lot to catch me off guard after a decade in business. I pride myself on my ability to quickly connect with my clients, making them feel comfortable, cared for, and confident that they look great. Being a helpful and calming presence in the midst of your wedding is second nature to me. Basically, I try to treat people how I want to be treated: with fairness and understanding!

Awarded Best of Zola
Zach is an incredible artist and I am so glad we hired him as our photographer for both engagement and wedding photos. I am not very comfortable being photographed, and was wary of ending up with a lot of awkward smiles, but Zach is a kind, funny person who will help you open up, laugh and let your natural smile out. His interests beyond the camera—music, film, etc.—have influenced his style, capturing the feeling of incredible moments with a cinematic quality. His photos captured the cozy and moody, yet crisp and bright November day of our wedding perfectly, and I know I will enjoy looking at them, and finding new favorites for years to come. We highly recommend Zach, and would certainly hire him again!

From the moment my daughter Megan first spoke with Wendy, she was blown away by her professionalism, enthusiasm, and clear passion for her craft.

I've been documenting weddings for 15 years! Your wedding will have so man quick and candid moments, and that's what I'm there for. The spontaneity. The honesty. The "beautiful" vs the "pretty". Hearing things like "Wow, we didn't even know that happened!" or "This is the best picture of my Grandpa I've ever seen," is what keeps me fired up year after year! I believe everyone deserves to feel welcomed, honored, and free to express their love for each other. I proudly support and celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community along with all cultural backgrounds and traditions!

Choosing a wedding photographer can be a daunting task, but luckily Ryan makes the process easy! Ryan has a unique eye and documentarian yet editorial style that truly captures not only the beauty of the day, but the feel! From initial consultation through the very last moments of the party, Ryan was warm, friendly and professional. He expertly directed our large combined family, who can be a bit a wayward, through a brilliant series of portraits in a remarkably short period of time. He was so patient when plans changed and even had some spontaneous ideas for some amazing shots that we had not even planned for. He also payed great attention the details that captured our style choices. Both my husband and I can be a bit self conscious about photos but we felt at ease the entire time and we love how we and all of our guests look in the pictures! The photos were so vibrant, well composed and really conveyed the emotion and joy of the event. Don't hesitate, Ryan Moore is THE GUY! We will definitely call upon Ryan for future photographic needs. Additionally, as an event industry professional, I have added him to my preferred vendor list and highly recommend him to my clients!

My name is Kate Scott Daly, and I can't wait to meet you! I'm a Chicago native and have been a professional photographer for nearly a decade. I am obsessed with capturing the perfect moment that will make you gasp and say "Oh my god, this is amazing!" Being a queer woman, it is so important to me that you feel safe, loved, and beautiful every step of the way. If you're looking for someone you can relax with and just be yourself, you've found me! Let's face it: it can be awkward being in front of a camera. Even I feel nervous sometimes! I understand that anxiety and will do everything I can to make you feel fabulous!

We cannot recommend Kate enough! From the moment we met her, she made us feel completely comfortable and celebrated our love with so much enthusiasm. As a queer couple, it was important for us to work with someone who not only respected but truly celebrated queer weddings, and Kate went above and beyond. She took the time to help us clarify our vision for our wedding photos, which was especially helpful since we only had 6 weeks to plan our wedding and felt a little overwhelmed by the process. She was a great guide and we immediately knew we were in good hands! Kate’s associate Ryan shot the photos on our wedding day and they captured every special moment—from the big emotional vows to the smallest, most intimate glances—with such artistry and care. The photos are breathtaking, full of life, and truly reflect the joy of our day. Right when Ryan arrived, they jumped in with capturing photos of small details and worked to capture everything we wanted for our special day. Kate and Ryan were both an absolute delight to work with—professional, fun, and incredibly talented. If you're looking for a photographer who will make you feel seen, respected, and celebrated while delivering stunning photos, look no further. We are beyond grateful for Kate and Ryan and will cherish these photos forever! Thank you for making our wedding memories so magical!

From my first moment as a wedding photographer, I knew I wanted to kick tradition to the curb. I was tried of seeing wedding photography that excluded the communities that I hold closest. I work hard to form a real connection with each of my clients to craft an experience that captures their unique spirit.

Ashley is so perceptive and talented! I told her a little bit about us and our style and she created the right balance between moodiness and fun that we wanted. She always got back to us just under 24 hours and answered every question that we had. She is dedicated to her clients and their needs. I enjoyed being in her company because she made us feel comfortable. She understood our needs and never pressured us to do anything out of our comfort zone. We are a more laid back, care-free couple, so we gave Ashley lots of space to experiment and it definitely paid off. If nothing else has convinced you, we have already booked our 1 year anniversary photos with her and I will continue to go back to her for any event that should be photographed.

Spoiler alert: I didn't grow up daydreaming about weddings. Instead, I grew up on shaky home videos and weathered family albums—so I know how important it is to keep memories alive. The problem? The internet is overflowing with photos that focus on trends over authenticity. That's why, in a world filled with filters + fads, I'm here to capture every real moment of your wedding day.

Chelsea was a dream to work with! From our first meeting, it was clear we were in good hands. She strikes the perfect balance of creative eye and meticulous planner, making sure we had a clear plan going into the day while staying flexible should things go awry. Case in point: when we met for our engagement shoot, it stormed, but we were able to tuck away in a cafe to chat and still capture beautiful photos once the rain passed! As two very camera-shy people, it was really important to find a photographer who made us feel comfortable, and Chelsea was exactly that. You spend as much (if not more) time with your photographer on wedding day as anyone else, and we could not have picked a more perfect person to invite into ours. On the actual day, she made everything feel effortless. Our motto for the day was “In Chelsea we trust,” and we couldn’t have put our faith in a better person. She made a big day feel relaxed and fun -- even when taking photos in the middle of downtown traffic! Throughout the day, she took the extra time to arrange things just so, and the love and care shine through in our photos. If you're thinking about hiring Chelsea: do it. We couldn't recommend her more!

When I’m not behind the camera, I’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 couples—photos that will live on as part of their legacy.

I can't even begin to say how spectacular Megan's work is. She puts so much love into her craft and creates stunning photo stories for a variety of occasions. She is a great location scout and goes above and beyond to get unique and beautiful shots. My husband and I got married at the Salish Lodge at Snoqualmie Falls in Washington. We are huge Twin Peaks fans and live nearby. Megan came out to photograph our wedding and was an absolute dream to work with. We get so many compliments on how epic our photos are! If you want top quality and thoughtful work, go to Megan! She truly loves her craft and it shows.

Hi! I'm so glad you're here. I'm a Chicago-based wedding photographer here to help you tell your love story. Through humor, support and documentary storytelling I'm there to capture your day in an authentic way that reflects who you both are, how you love, and how your community shows up for you. Stylistically, I consider myself a docu-storyteller with a flair for art-forward portraits. With a background in film and digital, I like to incorporate the classic, the dramatic and the real.

Working with Layne to capture our wedding was a dream. Her work is stunning, but what we appreciated the most are those tiny, tender moments that she finds and captures beautifully. Looking back at the photos, we are really brought straight back into those moments. Layne has a truly special gift and we highly recommend her.

Being a wedding photographer, I am lucky to be granted front row seats to the most loving moments in life; period. Guests and your loved ones will fly in, hopefully comb their hair and dress to impress; shower you with hugs and kisses. Grandparents will watch and remember and smile with their eyes. Tears will be shed, tight hugs will temporarily stop time and most of these details will inevitably fade from memory... until a couple of weeks after your wedding day, when those defining moments will be lovingly delivered, but this time as a visual storyline... timeless photographs... nostalgia relived.

Adam captures the small moments along with the grand gestures that make a wedding special. In addition to taking technically beautiful photographs, Adam has a really good eye for showcasing the couple’s personalities and their joy. He is attentive and engaged throughout the festivities and is a pleasure to work with.

kiki knew exactly what to do to make everything go smoothly and time efficiently. having never been involved in a wedding myself, I had a plan that needed very much feedback. Since kiki has tons of experience in weddings, she knew exactly how to schedule all the photo shoots while still allowing us to have fun and enjoy the reception with all the guests. Also, she was very kind and friendly with all the guests. Toward the end when we told kiki we were statisfied with all the photos and the work was done, we had her dance with some of us since we were all having such a good time. Thanks Kiki for everything. God bless.

Hi, I'm Daniel! I'm a Chicago-based artist and photographer. I love sharing stories of love, almost as much as I love creating art - that's why I do my best to merge the two in each story I tell. While I call Chicago my home these days, I am *more* than willing to travel to your neck of the woods - just ask!

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Daniel! From the very first conversation, it was clear that he genuinely cared about getting to know us as a couple and understanding our vision for the day. His warm, friendly energy made us feel completely at ease—like we were working with a longtime friend rather than a vendor. Our photos were beyond stunning and we could not have been happier with them! My sister ended up hiring him for her wedding a few years later as well. And yep, Daniel crushed it again. If you want someone who’s very talented and a genuinely great person to have around on your big day, go with Daniel. You won’t regret it!
