About CradersArt Photography
Craders Art Photography
We love hearing our clients stories so we thought we’d share ours with you! Ten years ago, Nick and I met in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. We came from two very different worlds, him from Alaska and I from Ukraine, but our vision of a future filled with adventure and purpose connected us. Fast forward three years, we fell in love with Chicago and decided to make it our home. After getting married and having our daughters, we realized just how important it was to capture life’s most cherished memories. My youtube channel at the time got me an offer to film my first wedding, and the rest is history!
It's not about the perfect pose. The goal is to make you forget that the camera is there and to capture the true essence of YOU in the moment. We go above and beyond to make you comfortable and remind you that the real reason we are there is to encapsulate you enjoying your life to the fullest. If this is what you dream of, then let’s get to know each other better!

Highly Recommend!
Liliia was absolutely amazing to work with! From the moment we started filming, she made us feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. She did such a great job directing us naturally, and the final video exceeded all of our expectations. Watching it brought us right back to our wedding day. Her talent, professionalism, and attention to detail truly shine through in her work. I would highly recommend Liliia to anyone looking for a videographer or photographer. You will not be disappointed!

ABOVE & BEYOND (2x) PROPOSAL & WEDDING PHOTOS
Lilia delivered an all-around amazing experience for both our engagement/proposal photography and our Chicago courthouse wedding. For our proposal, she accepted a same-day booking, showed up early, coordinated directly with the venue, and seamlessly worked herself into the plan so my fiancée was completely surprised. The quality of the photos was top notch, and both the sneak peeks and final photos were incredible and perfect to share with friends and family. Her fun, genuine, and humorous personality made the experience even more special. For our wedding, the experience with Lilia was spectacular yet again. She went above and beyond by arriving early and using her knowledge and experience with Chicago courthouse weddings to make the most of our time. While we were waiting in line, she used thoughtful problem solving and initiative to take photos throughout the courthouse without holding up the line. It was a great example of how she goes beyond simply taking photos and actively looks for ways to make the experience better. She is also extremely quick with delivering sneak peeks and final photos. While I’ve heard of photographers taking weeks or even months, her delivery timeline never disappoints. For a personalized, one-of-a-kind, fun, genuine, high-quality, and efficient experience, Lilia is someone you can always count on. Highly recommended again!

Natural, Beautiful Photos & an Amazing Experience
From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, CradersArt Photography exceeded all our expectations. Lilia made us feel at ease during both sessions—even when we were freezing during our engagement photos in the Chicago Winter, she kept us laughing and comfortable, which showed in how genuine our images turned out. She guided us through poses that looked natural and beautiful without ever making us feel stiff, and she was always open to our ideas and vision (like champagne). What really impressed us was how she kept the energy fun and lighthearted throughout multiple locations, which meant our smiles and interactions felt real. Even incorporating breaks for us to warm up during shoots was very kind. Lilia is talented, experienced, and her pricing is fair for the quality you get. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who is warm, responsive, and genuinely cares about capturing your story.

The Perfect Videographer for Us!!!
From our very first phone call, I knew Liliia was the videographer for us! She was so personable, authentic, and clearly knew what she was doing. Throughout the process she really took the time to understand the vision we had for our wedding day. On our big day, everything felt completely seamless. Liliia captured every important moment so naturally, and the final videos are absolutely exceptional. They feel so true to us and to the day, and we could not be happier with how everything turned out. Thank you Liliia!
