Whether celebrating love, connection, or a fleeting moment, I’m here to calm nerves, share laughter, and capture memories you’ll cherish forever. Let’s create something timeless and yours.

Think of me as your budget bestie!! I provide high quality work at an amazing price. On your big day, I'm here to not only take beautiful pictures but to be by your side through your whole experience. Whether it's helping with any last-minute adjustments with your dress or helping with centerpieces, I got you!

Luz E. Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication was quick and responsive, which was so helpful during the busy wedding planning process. The quality of their work was incredible - Luz made me and my family look so photogenic, even my mom loved the photos! She was so patient with my family's inability to follow direction and accommodated my request to get great shots without having to pull me away from the party. Luz had a great attitude, made light of the chaos, and worked within my budget rather than trying to convince me to add more time. I absolutely loved working with her and am so grateful for the beautiful photos that captured our special day.

I document love for a living, and what drives me is capturing authenticity in the moments that I am privileged to become a part of with my clients. I've been photographing weddings for over a decade. I know how to make you look good, and how to take away the "overwhelmed" fake vibe most couples feel and replace it with meaningful photos in 1/250 of a second.

With the day just being insane. There were so many times Kay checked in on me which made me to make sure I was okay, really made me take a breath throughout the day and made me feel special. We did our engagement pictures at a brewery and she was super creative with the pictures. For our wedding day I sent her my Pinterest board and she went for all the pictures I wanted. I’m so excited to see what they all look like. Even her second shooter seemed like she was everywhere. Start to finish the whole process was so easy to work with Kay. With so many vendors having one you vibe with is important and it was all there. 10/10 recommend her, & the team she has.

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Wayne, IL

I’m Colby (he/him), your local neighborhood dog parent/beer lover/former mascot/barbershop singer/wedding and elopement photographer. My love language is shouting compliments at you. I love people and hate crowds. I prefer long hikes in the mountains to ones on the beach, but both are better than sitting at home. I really, really don’t like having my photo taken - and if we have that in common, we might work really well together.

Colby delivers the best possible product in the field. The lighting, composition and quality of his photos are unmatched. But he doesn't stop there... The communication from the booking date, lead up to shoot, and execution on the day is what makes Colby Campbell Photography an immersive experience that is unmatched.

  • Serves Wayne, IL

The goal is simple, that you fully live and enjoy your day. My approach is built on kindness, fun, and caffeine. My style is documentary first, complimented with editorial portraits. Your wedding day is a collection of fleeting yet unforgettable moments. All you need to do is be fully present and celebrate with all of your people in one place. I want all the authentic, unfiltered excitement. I want you to be free to dance in the rain, to jump in the pool, and to embrace the imperfect. Most importantly, I want for you the immeasurable joy of this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

If you’re looking for a photographer for your big day, look no further because Derrick is the absolute best! He captured every moment and emotion of our wedding at the Farmhouse in Plainfield so beautifully. Looking at these photos I’m instantly taken back to that moment and how I felt. Derrick was so organized, helpful, and kind throughout the whole process from planning to the wedding itself. His efficiency and professionalism on the wedding day allowed me to be in the moment and enjoy every little part of our day because I knew we were in great hands. He truly is just so talented and a pleasure to work with. Seriously, look no further, you’ve found the best! Oh and let’s take a moment to appreciate how well he photographed our dogs too! Thank you so much again for everything Derrick! I can’t wait to see the rest of the photos

Howdy! I’m Aubriana, a photographer passionate about capturing life and love in their most genuine moments. My journey with photography began over a decade ago in high school and has since grown into a heartfelt career. Inspired by my time in Iowa and the beauty of Milkweed fields, my business name reflects my love for fleeting, magical moments—just like the Monarch butterflies that migrate each year. I believe every love story is unique and deserves to be documented with care, warmth, and authenticity. I’d be honored to capture yours!

Working with milkweed moments is a breeze! I was nervous because I have a 3 and 1 year old, and wasn’t sure how they would cooperate. Aubriana made everything go smoothly. She’s great with kids, great with directives on posing, and really made the day so fun! She got all the shots I dreamed of!”. Will be booking her again in the future!

Shawnee was an unbelievable photographer and such a special part of our wedding weekend. From the moment we reached out to her to getting our pictures, she has been incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and deeply kind. She made us feel so at ease and taken care of at our Rehearsal Dinner and on our wedding day. She not only allowed us to be our fullest selves but also encouraged capturing us in ways that felt authentic and not stuck in expected wedding photos or gender roles. She captured our guests so beautifully too, particularly the kids who were in our wedding. Everyone's personalities shone through so wonderfully and the picture are absolutely stunning. We cannot believe how many and how incredible each and every photo is. We cannot recommend Shawnee enough!

I'm Savanna, a wedding photographer who specializes in non-traditional and laid-back days. My work is documentary style, and it is my intention that your photos allow you to feel exactly how you did when they were taken, years later.

Working with Savanna and having her with us on our wedding day felt like having a supportive friend and hype woman by our sides all day. :) We are absolutely over the moon with our photos, and cannot stop raving about Savanna to everyone! She captured the most intimate and meaningful details of our wedding day, and we have hardly been able to stop pouring over the photos since we got them. On a gray flood-filled weekend, the colors and joy of everything popped so well in her film and digital shots. Savanna has created memories that are so beautiful that we can turn them into actual art pieces to hang on our walls! She is a true artist and a rare talent, and working with Savanna was the best decision we made for our wedding. We are so thankful for her!

I love this job of mine. When you book me, you can be assured that I will operate before, during & after the wedding with your best interests at heart. My #1 goal is always to create a space that allows you (and your loved ones) to be your best, most comfortable selves & to depict your wedding day through your final photo gallery in the most authentic way as you remember it unfolding. My motto is "the friend who takes photos." You deserve a photographer who shows up for you on your wedding day who is not only a professional, but also feels like a trusted friend to support, celebrate and create a safe (& fun) space for you on your wedding day.

Gretchen was an absolute joy to work with! Her genuine, warm personality made it easy and comfortable for us to be in front of the camera—a true gift on such an important day. Her talent is unmatched, capturing authentic, joyful, and breathtaking shots that our guests keep raving about. From the moment we met her, we were impressed with how incredibly detailed and organized she is. We knew we were in good hands for our engagement photoshoot and our wedding day. Gretchen’s professionalism and passion for her craft was clear through every step of the process. Her assistant on our wedding day, Lauren, did an excellent job as well.

I'm Courtney! I care not only about providing you with sharp, authentic and colorful images on your wedding day, but helping you to be fully present on your wedding day so you remember all the big and little moments.

Courtney was AMAZING! I found Expedition Joy on instagram when she was doing a giveaway contest for a free Engagement session. To our suprise and BIGGEST BLESSING— we won! When my husband and I met Courtney, we instantly clicked! She was so easy to talk to and made us feel so comfortable so quickly! She was very intentional about building trust with her and having a friendship as well! We had great conversations during our shoot and got to learn about her aswell! After our session, my husband and I both agreed that we NEEDED Courtney to be a part of our big day. We expressed our excitement with Courtney just as much as she expressed hers with us! During the planning months, she was so easy to reach and made us feel confident that she would go above and beyond for us on our special day and she DID. Courtney showed up camera in hand and started shooting the second she walked in the door! She was ON IT. She continued to encourage the bridal party and family so they felt comfortable as she was taking photos. She was so intentional with everyone! Courtney and her second shooter were the life of the party on the dance floor! They had a blast with us and it was so much fun for all of our guests to cheer them on when they went to bust a move in the center circle! Courtney continued her 5-star reputation throughout the night and even went above and beyond to stay past our contracted time for our grand exit! She took the most memorable photos of our day, we will always remeber her when we reminisce on our beautiful photos! She truly is Expedition Joy

Lightwave is completely customizable to your needs and style. We make it easy to capture your most precious moments by matching you with artists based on your unique event, vision, and budget. Our services include Photography, Videography, Live Music, DJ, Lighting, Photo Booth, and Other services for Weddings, Corporate Events, Parties, and more. We operate across the USA, Canada, & Europe, and travel around the world.

FIVE STARS!! I knew my wedding day was going to fly by and I wouldn’t be able to witness every moment so having a good videographer was one of the most important things on my list. I felt discouraged with how much videographers seemed to cost though, until I booked Silver Arrow Band and saw you could also book videography services through them with a 10% discount when you booked both. I watched a few of their videos and was blown away, it was everything I was looking for! We did the full package of two videographers, full ceremony, speeches, and dance coverage, and the best part - drone footage! Our venue Saltwater Farm Vineyard is on a beautiful estuary and I was really hoping to cover both the nature and the important moments of our big day. The videographers were amazing to work with. They were both so kind, helpful, and made sure to capture every moment big or small. They had the groom and officiant properly mic’d up so they could capture every word. The teaser, the highlight reel, and the fully ceremony and speeches are incredible! They were able to capture all of our favorite moments. It was also so great seeing how much fun our guests were having. I promise your money is well spent if you book Lightwave Event Artists!

From the moment we first spoke with Andrea and Phil at McConville Studio, we were impressed by their transparent communication style and their ability to actively listen to our needs. Andrea and Phil have a calming presence and was instrumental in keeping everyone relaxed and focused on the day of our wedding. They approached our special day with a palpable passion for their craft, demonstrating a diligent and dependable work ethic that will result in stunning, high-quality photos that we will cherish forever.

We had such a wonderful experience using Jolie Images for photography on our wedding day as well as for our engagement session. It was great working with our photographer, Daniel! He was fun and friendly and helped make our day go well. Daniel called the week before so we could go over all requests, locations and details. He was extremely polite and professional and kept everything on schedule. We have seen a 'sneak peek' and can't wait to have the completed edited package sometime soon. Although the studio is large, Jolie offers the option to review photographer's portfolios and give a list of top choices for photographers. They eliminate the fear of someone being sick or unavailable on the event day. Pricing is very competitive and includes many things we didn't find elsewhere. We are looking forward to having an completed album and choosing the images and layout, as well as owning all images for future use. We would highly recommend Jolie Images for your wedding photography!

Why do I take photos? Well I’m glad you asked! When I was a teenager I was thrown from one of my horses and lost my long term memory. Thankfully my father was into photography and I notice that looking back at family photos helped to trigger my memory! With the fear of hitting my head and potentially loosing my memory again, I started taking photography classes and was obsessive about taking photos. Whenever I take photos for a client I remember how important it was to my recovery to have images of my life.

Elyse did an amazing job from our engagement photos to our wedding day. She was organized, helpful and made everything on our wedding day flow easily. We love our photo library and the many amazing photos we have to choose from will be cherished for years to come. We love the light, airy, style she has for weddings with a natural feel!

  • Serves Wayne, IL

I didn’t get into the wedding industry because I was the little girl dreaming of my wedding day. I love story-telling, I love love, and I love people who want to laugh and have a great time because they realize that life is short and beautiful. Wedding photography is all of those things at once; every time I go to work it’s the best day of someone’s life. How cool is that?

Oh my GAWWWD! AJ is the BEST. Like seriously - hire her right this second! I cannot emphasize enough how grateful I am for the way that she shows up as a person and as a photographer. I am the more extroverted of my partnership and AJ did an incredible job making my partner feel at ease during our engagement shoot and our first look. She knows exactly what to say to get a nice photo that doesn’t read like “I’m being forced to take pictures”. From Day 1 (honestly, even before we hired AJ), we knew what to expect. She is communicative and easy to get a hold of. After a brief “get to know you” session, she builds three personalized packages based on what you’re looking for (and the names of each package are the best part…just you wait). Engagement Shoot: Our engagement shoot was so fun! AJ gave us a few suggestions and we ended up taking photos in and near the Montrose Bird Sanctuary. Talk about a GORGEOUS spot for photos. AJ is a great conversation maker and makes those who are less comfortable taking photos feel at ease. Her direction during our session made for spectacular photos (which we used for our save the dates and got lots of compliments on). We got sneak peeks within a day or two and the full gallery was high quality. Wedding Day: The package we selected was for 10 hours of service. AJ showed up early to where I was getting ready. Her second shooter was with my partner. Both of them were lovely during the day and brought positive, calm vibes for the duration of the day. The combination of posed and candid “getting ready” shots were well balanced. Our first look was at Garfield Park Conservatory and she and her second shooter did a great job communicating with each other so that my partner and I didn’t accidentally cross paths until it was “go time”. AJ is a great people wrangler - she made sure that our shots at Garfield Park were just us and communicated with other guests to make these shots happen. When we got to our venue, AJ and her second shooter got through our family portraits with haste so that my partner and I could relax before our ceremony. I was blown away by our sneak peeks, which we got several days after our wedding. Hiring AJ will be one of the best decisions you make for your big day.
