Lissa Chandler Photography

  • Photographer

  • Serves Yates City, IL for additional fees

Hey!! Congratulations and I'm so excited you're here! My name's Lissa (pronounced "Lyss-uh") and photographs are my jam! Also my jam? Bright colors, the lamest jokes, floral everything, weird history, and awesome ghost stories. I'm a total mother hen / perpetual big sister and I'm mom to Max, Henry, and Penelope. I love creating. I garden. I sew. I crochet. I design ridiculously cute tee shirts. But most of all? I freaking love creating photographs. A professional photographer since 2011 (eek!), my photographs are bright, happy, and totally meant to hit you in the feels. But most of all? They're a total party!

Awarded Best of Zola
It was such a pleasure having Lissa as the photographer for our wedding. She has taken several photos for me and my family throughout the years, and each time the photos have always been exactly what we wanted. Her photos are vibrant, full of color, and full of feeling. Lissa was sure to respond quickly to contracts, questions, and provided information in a timely manner. She listened to our desires and concerns, and when needed she provided feedback that helped us feel more comfortable and excited to work with her. She is incredibly easy to work with her. She was flexible with any photo requests that came up in the moment, and she guided and directed us for other shots she felt would turn out well when we weren't sure what to do next. She was professional and courteous to all of our wedding guests and yet always made sure to prioritize our (the bride and groom) desires and time as opposed to the rest of our wedding party. She had a happy, yet focused disposition while working with us. That focus was evident in the BEAUTIFUL pictures she took. She perfectly captured our joy that day. Turnaround time was better than expected, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We have no regrets with our choice of wedding photographer. She's amazing!

Hello! I’m Nicole, Your Wedding Photographer, storyteller, and friend. If you’ve found your way here, it’s likely because you’re a lot like me—someone who cherishes heartfelt moments, believes in love stories that are as unique as the people in them, and values the beauty of what happens in those unplanned, in-between moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
Nicole captured the wedding day from beginning to end in such effortless and timeless fashion; from the tiny details of our homemade Day-of-the-Dead sugar cookie decorations to the vast woody backdrop of where my husband and I said our vows, Nicole captured every design and element through her camera lense with artful finesse, giving my husband and I treasured photographic stills that will forever keep our special wedding day celebration alive. Even more impressive is how Nicole adapted to our needs in every way possible, such as running up the stairs to grab my husband’s boutonnière, organizing each family for pictures after the ceremony, climbing up on rocks for that perfect shot, and helping bustle the long train of my dress for the first dance. She brings calm to the chaos and reassurance to any unexpected uncertainty. Her crafted behind-the-scenes edits are also stunning and preserved the genuine characteristics, colors, and romance of our wedding day. I cannot recommend Nicole enough!

Hey, how cool of you to end up here. I promise not to bore you with a bunch of flowery language or over-the-top promises. With a little browsing and a little reading, the answers you seek will reveal themselves so please feel free to look around. I love to document real moments so if you're looking for someone to capture your day in all its imperfect glory, say something, let's make it happen.

From the moment we met Erika and Loy for our engagement shoot, we knew we had found something special. They made two self-proclaimed awkward people feel totally at ease in front of the camera. It didn’t feel like posing—it felt like laughing, dancing, and being fully ourselves, all while they worked their magic. The photos captured not just how we looked, but who we are. We walked away from that session with more than beautiful images—we walked away with memories. Fast forward to our wedding day, and they absolutely blew us away. Our friends and family keep raving about the photos: “absolutely stunning,” “so artsy,” “journalistic,” “soulful,” and “hilarious and beautiful at the same time.” The photos brought the emotion of the day flooding back—joy, intimacy, hilarity, and everything in between. Every little detail, every fleeting look, every big, beautiful moment—it’s all there. They somehow captured the energy of the day, not just the visuals. We’ve gone through the gallery more times than we can count, and each time we see something new to love. From my dad’s emotional first look to the spontaneous dance floor chaos to those quiet moments between us in Adirondack chairs—it’s all so genuine and full of heart. Working with Erika and Loy wasn’t just hiring photographers—it was inviting two incredibly talented, kind, and charismatic humans into some of the most important moments of our lives. We can’t imagine having had anyone else there with us. If you’re considering them—do it. Truly, 10 out of 10.

I mix editorial and documentary style photography for a wedding gallery that feels nostalgic and luxurious. I am here to make the never-shot-before-couple look like they belong in a magazine spread and I will capture candid, living, details and moments on your wedding day that will bring you back to that first touch time and time again. We are a husband and wife team that offers wedding photography and super 8 films. We also have a team of associate photographers for those on a budget.

I chose not to have a videographer because I knew the quality and experience that Brittany and her husband would give us. And she went above and beyond our expectations. I still to this day look at my photos daily and am in awe of them. She captured every moment of the day beautifully and I couldn’t be more grateful to her. She continues to be a part of my life and took our maternity photos. Brittany is not only involved with our biggest life events & capturing those moments but she made our experience so personal before, during, and after. I continue to have contact with Brittany and I love the relationship we were able to build over the years. Her prices are always fair for the quality, personally I think she could charge more because of how amazing her work is. But she’s fair and understands the expenses of life. I can’t wait to continue to work with Brittany and love to see all her work.

I am a photographer based out of Indianapolis and have 17 years of professional photography experience. In my experience, trends come and go. What matters most is the genuine emotions and connections to the people that surround your wedding day. I have photographed over 400 weddings, and what I appreciate more than ever, are the real moments that happen on every wedding day. Those moments will never be replicated. It is important to choose a photographer that you not only trust to capture those moments, but will enjoy sharing that space with you as they do.

Stephen and his team are hands down the best wedding photographers in Indy! You will not be disappointed. I was a professional wedding photographer for over a decade & when it was time to hire a photographer for my daughter’s wedding he was my first call. Our photos were simply beautiful. Stephen is one of the best storytellers in the industry. He understands composition, lighting & captures emotions like no other. Hiring someone to capture such an monumental moment is so nerve-racking, but it you hire Stephen and his team you can sit back and relax knowing you will not be disappointed!!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
We feel so lucky to have found Andrew as our wedding photographer. He has an incredible eye for the editorial style and makes his photos into works of art with golden light and chiaroscuro. So many photographers just rely on their high-res equipment but don't offer anything more--I don't want a macro shot of every pore or line on my face like an owl in a tree at 100 yards, I want to have a sense of magic and beauty in every photo. Andrew actually does that. I almost cried when I saw our first look photos because I don't feel very confident being photographed and I finally had dozens of photos of myself and my husband that I want to share with friends immediately and cherish forever. He delivered the first look so fast, even though I know he was busy working another wedding; I thought for sure we would have to wait longer. The wedding package we chose included very nice touches like polaroids so we had something in hand at the end of the wedding day itself, too. It was very thoughtful and left us feeling good about the whole experience right away. He was very personal and nice to work with, but not intrusive, and went with the little schedule changes we had, and was open to suggestions while we took post-ceremony photos around the city. I couldn't be happier with our experience with him and would recommend him highly to anyone looking for a real artist for their wedding photography.

She took our engagement and wedding photos and we are blown away at her skills. All her photos turn out bright and beautiful, capturing every moment perfectly. My husband and I have different styles in photos but she took the time to understand our preferences and made sure to photograph everything just the way we wanted. We are very awkward in front of the camera and never know how to pose… but her instructions make it easy and seem like we are naturals. We 10000/10 recommend Madison as your wedding photographer. She’s a true gem!

Welcome to our vibrant floral design studio, where creativity blooms with an eco-friendly twist!

I had the esteemed privilege of being a guest at one of the weddings Marigolds Florals designed the gorgeous flowers for. I witnessed the interaction between the bride and the florist and could tell she was a pleasure to work with. The florals were so beautiful vibrant and fresh, we got to take them home at the end of the day and they lasted so long!

I loveee…LOVE ! I have always been a big fan off sappy romance/rom-com movies. I grew up watching all of the wedding TLC shows! And now I get to live that dream every weekend by helping you behind the scenes on your special day. It doesn’t even feel like a job to me, it just feels natural.

Alexis was amazing! She made my vision come to life, and she was so positive! My friend recommended her after Alexis did her hair for her wedding. I truly appreciate her work. One of my bridesmaids was anxious because curls never hold for very long and they stayed ALL NIGHT. I don’t know what magic she used but all I’m saying is book her!
