About Victoria Mcdonald Photography

Victoria Mcdonald Photography

Owner/Photographer

I believe your wedding photos should feel like you, not stiff, not overly staged, but made of timeless, intimate moments captured with care. With nearly a decade of experience behind the camera, I specialize in an editorial-documentary hybrid style of photography. From stolen moments before the ceremony to grandpa dancing to Spice Girls, I’m there to preserve every unscripted detail. Based in the Chicago suburbs + available throughout the Midwest, I’ve photographed over 150 weddings, elopements, and love stories. No matter the size of the celebration, I seek out the joy, love, and emotions that are shared.

I am a storyteller, yes - you have heard that a million times in your search. Only I really am. When I'm not documenting real-life love stories, I am writing about ones that don't exist. The writer in me has taught me that there are unique details between the big moments of the day that shape the uniqueness of your story. Your story matters. Let’s tell it in a way that feels effortless, elegant, and completely you. 📍 Serving Chicago, MIlwaukee, Madison, Rockford, Lake Geneva, and beyond 📷 Sneak peeks delivered within 48 hours 🤍 Inclusive, affirming, and LGBTQIA+ friendly
