As Chicago area wedding photographers for over twenty years now, we’ve seen and captured just about every incarnation of true love imaginable. That’s why we approach your special day as a unique journey we take together. We walk you through every step, from proposal and engagement photos and perfectly capturing those forever wedding day moments with photography, videography, and content creation, to expertly crafting your very first family heirloom…your wedding album!

    Incredible!

    We could not be happier with our wedding photo and video team at TWA! They were professional, organized, and made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire day and weeks leading up to our big day. They captured every moment beautifully, from the big emotions to the small details, allowing us to relive our wedding day all over again. We are beyond grateful for these memories and cannot recommend TWA enough. Thank you for giving us something we get to treasure forever!

    Great experience with TWA!

    A lot of people advised me against using a photo company for my wedding, and I’m glad I did NOT listen! TWA was so easy and great to work with. So much communication leading up to the day, the process is made as easy as it can possibly be in my opinion. Justin was our lead photographer and he was incredible!! We loved that we booked early enough to request the photographer we wanted. Our 2nd photographer Monica was awesome too. All the photos came out gorgeous & excellent quality. Everyone we worked with at TWA were ahead of schedule with everything. Thank you Jillian, Justin and Monica for everything and for capturing the magic of our special day!

    Great Photographers!

    Incredible service and professionalism from TWA! TWA send Heather McDaniel and Jorge Medina to photograph our wedding and we couldn't have asked for anyone better on our special day. My Husband and I are generally uncomfortable being the center of attention so we were nervous about the pictures portion of the day. However, from the second they arrived, Heather and Jorge made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. They were calm and professional and knew exactly how to make us laugh and have fun. They each have such an eye for photography and they turned our picture time into one of my favorite parts of our wedding day because my husband and I were able to relax, be together and have fun with it. Their professionalism carried into the night as well - Heather did such a great job integrating into our party. I could tell she was capturing the joy across the room, and some of my guests enjoyed her company so much that they came up to me afterwards to tell me how great she was, and that we should invite her to more family functions. Heather was not only a true professional photographer capturing the best day of my life, but by the end, she was a friend and a beloved guest of our event. Highly recommend to anyone in the market for photographers!

    Wedding Photography

    Working with TWA was a breeze. We were kept in close communication throughout the process with our engagement photos and wedding day photography. Our package provided our lead photographer and photojournalist which provided us with great photos across the entire day. All of our favorite moments were captured and the photos look amazing.

    Would not recommend

    After taking time to actually watch our wedding video and look at our photos, i realize that i feel i was WAY over charged.. the photos are okay. The videography? TERRIBLE. I really wish i watched my wedding tape sooner. But i didn’t. I sent multiple emails saying how disappointed i was in the wedding video and never heard back. Hopefully this review gets someone’s attention. I’d rather get all of the raw footage and have someone else edit the video. Not only that but it looked like a child recorded half my wedding on their cellphone. There were no flattering angles. The camera was just set down somewhere and he hit record. I got ZERO footage of my cocktail hour, no photos or video coverage. One of my stand ups entrances was completely cut out of the video or not recorded at all i don’t know because i never got an answer. Barely any editing and if it was edited, you were staring at a blank wall or someone’s elbow. Terrible. I would never recommend hiring TWA for your wedding.
