Wedding Photographers in Illinois

As a photographer, my goal is to capture all the joy, love, and magic of your life. I believe that photography should be natural, authentic, and full of personality. I want to create images that not only look beautiful but also capture the unique essence of who you are. So if you're looking for a photographer who is not only professional but also fun and adventurous, then look no further. I'm here to capture all the laughter, tears, and unforgettable moments. Let's create some magic together!

Hello, I’m Melissa! I’m a wedding & lifestyle photographer with a heart and eye for the genuine, real, and joyful moments! Based in Chicago but let’s be real, I love to travel - so take me with you! :) My heart as a photographer is to document your moments genuinely & always true to color. So that one day you will look back & remember not just what it looked like - but what it FELT like!

I'm Courtney! I care not only about providing you with sharp, authentic and colorful images on your wedding day, but helping you to be fully present on your wedding day so you remember all the big and little moments.

If sarcasm and gifs are your languages of choice you know where to find me. I believe the less we take ourselves too seriously the more bearable life will be. I'm always down for anything in the dessert category and if you ever need a challenger in board games or someone to talk about tv or movies, say no more. It's this light-heartedness that I try to bring into each session with our couples. My promise as a photographer is to capture every couple with intention and care.

As an experienced wedding photographer who has photographed over 150 weddings in ten states, I've come to love joyful, adventurous couples who adore their friends and family. My couples tend to care most about genuine emotion and tender moments of the day and having timeless, classic, happy photos that will stand the test of time. They can't wait to have a stunning album full of the story of their wedding day to look at for years to come and share with generations. They see the wedding as the start of a beautiful marriage and care more about their marriage than making their wedding a production.

Hang around a photographer long enough, and the phrase “rule of thirds” will probably come up. The idea is to keep your subject away from the center of the frame to create more visual interest, and in a way, that’s how I approach all my photo sessions: keeping things ever so left of center. If you need a photographer who can capture the warmth and love (or kooky energy!) of your family, or who’s willing to climb or crawl on and over just about anything to capture that perfect shot on your wedding day, or who can create engagement photos that show you being swept off your feet and into the blue sky above, I’m happy to oblige.

I believe that every picture I take and give you should be frame-worthy. Give me beautiful light and good vibes and I'm set to go! Looking forward to hearing your story, getting to know You better and creating memories for you! If you are looking for a fine art wedding photographer in Chicago I would love to hear from you!

Hey love, I’m Kara - your Nikon-loving, sunset-obsessed photographer and wedding cheerleader! When my sister got engaged in 2010 and I invested in my first camera, I started to experience the joy of documenting love stories as I photographed her engagement session - my very first session. From there, things grew quickly and now my husband and I photograph 20+ weddings a year together! When I’m not photographing weddings throughout Chicagoland, you can find me snuggling our puppies Georgie + Jett, lovin’ on my family, spoiling the littles in our life as Auntie Kara, gardening in our backyard, and exploring breweries with my husband Kyle.

My goal is very simple; document what's happening. All of it. The little smiles, small embraces, big laughs, quiet tears, fingers intertwined, subtle glances, and first steps. None of these things will ever happen the way they happened today. I believe there should be proof that you laughed at that joke, said those vows, kissed that cheek, and cried those tears. And it should be captured in a way that is beautiful and full of feeling.

Hi, I’m Bri! I can drink margaritas like it's my job and get down with my bad self to some old school hip-hop. I own too many house plants and I almost always have a messy bun on top of my head.

For as long as I can remember I have always been around a camera. Growing up, my Mom was a big documenter of life freezing childhood moments in prints and recording videos. For my ninth birthday I received my first camera. GAME CHANGER. Boy was it fun to step on the other side of the camera. I was unstoppable, never letting my camera leave my side. From then on I cannot remember I time I hadn't owned a camera... or two... or three! Giving other the gift of memories is what brings me the most joy in life. To know that they will have moments they loved shared and reminisced for generations to come. That is everything.

We "Double Dog Dare" you to find a photographer that is more fun than us. Finding a cheap photographer is easy. Finding a great photographer is a little bit harder.

After the party's over, the food is forgotten, the flower's fade, and the dress is cleaned and stored, you have your pictures. Why chance a $500 photographer with your memories?

As a kid, looking through a cabinet full of our family photos and albums was one of my favorite things to do. I remember seeing photos of my parents at prom as well as flipping through the pages of their wedding album. I knew then I wanted to be the one who made these precious memories for others. I began photographing weddings and seniors at just 15 years old. (yes, my mom would have to drive me to shoot weddings...) The rest is history. I studied photography at Missouri State University and was able to meet my best friends who appreciated my passion for this art and career

Hey, I’m Chelsea! I am an adventure-seeker, dog-mom, and die-hard fan of the St. Louis Blues. I discovered photography at 13, and it became an immediate love affair. In 2012, I graduated from Millikin University with a BFA in Design and Photography. I want to make sure that our time together becomes a fun experience, filled with beautiful pictures to preserve those memories. You start on your next great adventure; I'll capture the memories of the big day.

I am a small town country girl that was raised in the American southwest just outside Tucson, Arizona. My life journey has taken me to some amazing places, and I can't wait to see more. I started my photography journey over ten years ago photographing nature and scenery. Just being outside in the fresh air and enjoying the sights energizes me and fills me with wonder and amazement. A few years ago I was approached about photographing some of my friends and family, and I fell in love with capturing the candid moments and raw emotion. This is what makes memories so special.

I didn’t get into the wedding industry because I was the little girl dreaming of my wedding day. I love story-telling, I love love, and I love people who want to laugh and have a great time because they realize that life is short and beautiful. Wedding photography is all of those things at once; every time I go to work it’s the best day of someone’s life. How cool is that?

I (Karin) remember how I felt planning my wedding. Things I had never thought about before suddenly became the most important things to me. I researched like crazy and made inspiration pages in my wedding binder (before the days of Pinterest) so I had a clear idea of what I wanted. Above all I knew I wanted the most BEAUTIFUL photos that represented us. And even though we did all this work to find a great photographer, we were so disappointed with our photos. Now, I realized what mistakes I made and what I wish somebody would have shared with me when I was choosing a photographer.

I never take lightly the incredibly humbling role which my clients entrust me to. It is my job to not only document once-in-a-lifetime moments and emotions but to do so in an artful and romantic manner. My favorite is gallery delivery day when my clients and their families are able to relive the sentiment they felt on the wedding day! Gallery delivery day often results in joyful, tearful calls of thanks and this is the most rewarding feeling in the world!

I'm an artist by nature. I love photography, but I also love to paint. Growing up I could color for hours. I come from one of those families where everyone is passionate. Things are really loud and your mom asks you when you've eaten last when you walk in the door. If you come from one of these families, you know exactly what I mean. When my son was born I picked up a camera and embarked on a challenge to learn as much as I could about digital photography. I love to be with people and I love to make people feel good about themselves. We should all have a hype girl and I'd love to be yours.

Born and raised in Joliet, IL. but now based in Pontiac, IL my husband and I love to travel all around the state and also out of it. Since I was a kid I've always loved photography and always had a camera I could get my hands on ready. It mostly consisted of my older sister's old cameras but I would make it work. I’ve been photographing weddings professionally since 2017. I like being the friend in the background taking pictures of you while you take it all in. That's the feeling I like to give my clients, posed and candid pictures.
