I have been mindfully crafting my approach to serving like minded couples for quite some time now. I'm an easy going soul, who loves to capture happiness and joy in genuine ways. I'm a gentle guide towards ideal photographs for most folks who find being in front of the camera stressful. I'm always eager to listen carefully to my clients when they share about themselves so I can anticipate their needs.

My photography style is timeless, natural, light, and effortlessly real. My goal has always been to capture moments as they genuinely unfold — not forced or overly posed, but full of emotion and authenticity. From the very beginning of my wedding photography journey, I set out to tell honest love stories — the quiet glances, the joyful tears, the belly laughs, and all the in-between magic. The more experience I gain, the deeper my passion grows. Every wedding reminds me why I love what I do.

Your wedding story, captured through real, effortless connection. The most beautiful images happen when you feel comfortable enough to be yourself. From booking to your last dance, I make sure you feel at ease, supported, and excited. My style is soft, emotive, and rooted in candid magic—the quiet glances and unprompted laughter. I let genuine emotion lead the way rather than stiff, rehearsed poses. Weddings can be a whirlwind, but sessions with me feel relaxed and fun, like spending time with an old friend. Come as you are, bring your love, and I will preserve the big milestones and everyday magic you’ll want to remember forever.

I believe your wedding photos should feel like you, not stiff, not overly staged, but made of timeless, intimate moments captured with care. With nearly a decade of experience behind the camera, I specialize in an editorial-documentary hybrid style of photography. From stolen moments before the ceremony to grandpa dancing to Spice Girls, I’m there to preserve every unscripted detail. Based in the Chicago suburbs + available throughout the Midwest, I’ve photographed over 150 weddings, elopements, and love stories. No matter the size of the celebration, I seek out the joy, love, and emotions that are shared.

I am a midwesterner, born and raised in the burbs north of Chicago who strives to capture moments that are gone in a second, impossible to reproduce, but with the help of an artist touch, can last a lifetime. I'm here to connect with you, listen to you, create with you, and provide a stress-free, comfortable atmosphere from start to finish. 3 things about myself, I have 3 dogs (yes, its crazy LOL), I am in loveee with Target, and coffee and mango froyo are my love languages.

Hi! My name is Brittany and I LOVE my job. I focus on emotionally driven images and I have the prompts/poses to pull out the magic. Getting a balance of free/wild and structured is my specialty, ensuring you receive the posed pictures that are important but also the images that give you all the feels of the moment. Not sure about what kind of pictures you want? Talk to me! We can incorporate creativity into the shoot that'll show off who you are! Give me a call, I can't wait to meet you.

Hey! Aaron and Becka here! We are wedding photographers based in the North Suburbs of Chicago. We have three kids; Judah (4), Jane (2), and Dan (6 months). Being parents is one of the sweetest gifts we have ever been given! When we aren't doing photography or ministry, we are either going for hikes as a family, playing music together, working on updating our 200 year old house, or hanging out with friends! We both love the shooting side of photography, but when it comes to the admin and post-creative, that's where Becka takes over! So, if you reach out, she will be the one chatting with ya!

I believe you can't stand behind your business unless you can say you fully understand it – and 24 years of marriage is proof that I KNOW LOVE. I set out to capture the essence of love when I started Parker Photography in 2018. I have been married to my best friend for the last 24 years, and people who meet us swear we are newlyweds. We still act like lovestruck teenagers with each other, that same feeling we get from every newly engaged couple that we meet. We know where our couples are coming from and what they hope to capture in their engagement sessions and on their wedding day, and we make it effortless for them to achieve their goals.

Warm, and emotive portraits showcasing authenticity is my first priority. I'm here not only to capture your precious moments but to be right by your side through such large life events. I'm based in Lake County, Illinois, and yes I love to travel! If you want me to photograph your story, it will require a travel fee, depending on where it takes place. But no worries, I always try to find the cheapest way to come.

Not only do I have a great eye for the art, but whatever the task is at hand I am able to execute it… it’s my passion. Family and friends whom I have photographed in events say this is my “calling.” I love using natural light when possible and do not over process my pictures; natural is beautiful. I would love the opportunity to share your engagement and wedding day through my lenses. I bring a touch of photo journalism and an intimate approach to my clients that shines in my work. For weddings, I instinctively capture the event through the couple’s eyes. I shoot their story in a natural way.

I thought I'd get us started by sharing a bit about me. I'm a photographer obsessed with warm, earthy, and film-like tones located between Chicago, Milwaukee, and Rockford. I specialize in capturing both the little and big moments on your wedding day as well as blending my artistic style with the traditional portraits (aka the pics Grandma will order).

I’m a Chicago-based photographer residing in Grayslake, IL with professional experience in the wedding industry since 2014. I aim to bring you the best moments of your life captured in the moment and saved for your enjoyment for the rest of your life. Besides behind a camera, you can usually find me at a craft brewery (I’ve bartended for 4+ years!) or adventuring around Chicago & beyond with my partner, Zachary. My favorite setting to get work done is a coffee shop, which is typically where I meet my clients to go over details!

Capturing authentic moments for clients is the driving force in everything I do. That drive and passion are what wedding & portrait photography should always be about! My clients choose me because they trust that I'll tell their story in an honest way, jam-packed and full of life, joy, and fun!

Hi, my name is Katie Fitzgerald, and I LIVE to capture images that say something.

These days I’m inspired by real moments, emotions, & relationships at weddings, helping you create a candid record of your special day is my passion. When I’m not photographing you can find me hanging out with my hubs Jim & our 3 pups Cowlie, Sawyer, & Tango.
