D.J. & Ashley photographed our engagement pictures and also photographed our wedding day. For this entire journey leading up to the wedding, their communication was so spot on, because they understand what it’s like to plan a wedding and how stressful it is to think of the little things. They were constantly sending words of advice, encouragement, and so many awesome ideas! On the day of the wedding, they arrived early to the room I was getting ready in and it was like the second they showed up, every single wedding day jitter I had just flew out the window. They made everything feel so natural and easy, and honestly so much fun! There is no one I would recommend more than this amazing husband/wife duo, because honestly they made our entire wedding 100x better! To top it off, after the wedding they gifted us a box with the sweetest candid Polaroid pictures that brought me to tears. It was all just absolutely perfect! They also got us our sneak peaks immediately after the wedding, they were all just so perfect and beautiful! These two will forever be my go-to photographers and I encourage everyone to choose them for any event! D.J. & Ashley, thank you for going through this entire engagement/wedding journey with us. You two were an absolute blessing and we honestly just can’t thank you enough!!

Dylan exceeded our expectations from the second we booked him! Communication was so easy, I texted him a lot with random questions and he was always able to answer them and respond quickly. He took every crazy idea I had for photos and ran with them. He was willing to drive out to Kansas City for our engagement shoot which was a huge plus for us! Him and Becca did so much on our wedding night, I could never thank them enough. If I had a million more weddings, I'd book Dylan every time.

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Tara Beth for our wedding in December 2022. We started following her instagram years prior and fell in love with how she captured every moment, from the guests to the couple. Not only were her photos amazing, but being a part of the LGBTQ community can feel daunting at times when reaching out to vendors, specifically for same-sex weddings. We had a few tough experiences with other vendors in regards to being a same-sex couple, but Tara Beth, as she is a part of the community, made it easy to feel comfortable and accepting. We contacted her and were met with a quick response. From the start, we knew she was the one. Her vibe and passion for love sold us! My wife and I were very nervous to take photos, but Tara Beth reassured us that she would walk us through everything - and she did just that. She talked us through our first look and it was an amazing experience. She also guided our party and family photos, which was super helpful as we were able to get our photos done ahead of schedule! We appreciate everything Tara Beth did for our special day and would recommend her 100 times over!

Planning should feel exciting, not overwhelming—so I bring structure, style, and heart to every step of the process.

I hired Nae to help plan a 50th birthday party for my mom, and I’m still getting compliments months later. She brought our ideas to life with so much creativity and care. The vibe was classy, fun, and meaningful—exactly what my mom deserved. You can tell this isn’t just a business to her—it’s her calling.

Where We Wandered 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Yates City, IL for additional fees

At Where We Wandered, we use our photography to enable you to revisit life's most precious moments, see the faces of those no longer with us, and relive those moments that define your life with the people who made it possible.

Where We Wandered was a pleasure to work with for our photography. From our first conversation, their communication style was open, easy, and comfortable, making us feel at ease throughout the entire process. We would absolutely use Where We Wandered again and highly recommend them to any couple looking for talented photographers for any occasions.
