Frankenmuth, MI

  • Serves Chicago Heights, IL

Featured on Today show and Wedding Day Magazine. I believe everyone deserves to have life's biggest moments captured on camera. But photos turn into heirlooms when the moments are documented in a way that feels absolutely authentically you. No forced emotions, no fake smiles, and certainly no awkward prom-pic poses. Whether you’re dressed to the nines on the day of your wedding or, the dirty white dress that spent more time on the dance floor than the altar let’s capture the authentic you and have a damn good time doing it.

Mary was such an incredible photographer and person to work with for our wedding!! We are not too comfortable in front of the camera and she did such a fantastic job helping us and coaching us so our pictures were the best they could be. The day of the wedding she went above and beyond to make sure it was special and memorable and I cannot rave about her enough. We love Mary!!!

Jason "Snorlax" Cun is an all around photographer that currently resides in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in the heart of Los Angeles, where he found his calling in photography. He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

I met Jason at a conference and learned that he does photography. When years later I got married, I remembered how intrigued I was with how photography style and the gorgeous landscape shots he would take. I asked him to fly out from California to shoot my wedding in North Carolina. He is kind, prompt, responsive to messages, and accommodated me on my wedding day. He made me feel comfortable and had fun ideas for shots of my wedding party. I would recommend Jason to anyone who needs a professional photographer for their event! Jason is one of a kind!

Aanna Chase Photography

Sioux Falls, SD
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Chicago Heights, IL

Hello! My name is Aanna and I can't wait to meet you. When I was seven years old, my parents gifted me with a tape recorder. It became my aim to document life in my home and beyond—an ongoing narration. Fast forward a few years and I brought my journalism to a new level when I spent my hard earned money on a camera. The rest is history—and a longer story for a future coffee date :) For as long as I can remember, I have been observing and responding to the stories and visuals around me; and it has only become more exciting with every person I meet and event I photograph!

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot recommend Aanna enough as a photographer for any moment, especially your wedding day! We think the secret to her amazing pictures is her ability to make it fun and comfortable. Her energy is contagious and she makes you excited to take pictures, no matter what time of day. Aanna always provides great advice when it comes to lighting, poses, and style of pictures. We had a COVID wedding, so we choose to get married just us, our officiant, and Aanna. We’re so thankful she was there to document and celebrate our special day. She eased our anxiety of the pandemic by being extremely flexible, patient, understanding, and accommodating. We loved our photos so much so that we also purchased prints and albums from her. Our pictures hang throughout our home and we love seeing them every day. For our wedding album, she was as hands-off or hands-on as we needed, giving us great ideas for the look of the final product. In the album, she chose the pictures in such a way that tells a beautiful story of our entire wedding day, so that we can relive it all over again. Every interaction with Aanna has been a true joy – from the first coffee meet up to the final delivery of our wedding albums. We can’t think of a better person to help document our life’s biggest moments – we will be contacting her again! Her work is truly the best and we’re so lucky to have found her.

I'm an extroverted introvert. Being a wedding photographer for fifteen years will do this to you! I have been mindfully crafting my approach to serving couples for quite some time now. I'm an easy going soul, who loves to capture happiness and joy in genuine ways. I'm a gentle guide towards ideal photographs for most folks who find being in front of the camera stressful. I'm a very candid individual who can relate to a lot of differen experiences folks go through in life. I'm always eager to listen carefully to my clients when they share about themselves. It's those fine details that help me do a fantastic job on your wedding day!

Awarded Best of Zola
Ez was fantastic to work with for the wedding day. We met with them prior to a few times to discuss what the day itself would be like and what our hopes were. When the day arrived, Ez was there early and ready to go. They blended seamlessly into the guests of our wedding to get candid photos of people as well as beautiful clear shots of my husband and I. There was not a missed moment in all of the photos taken, including a few of my husband with his childhood pup who passed away not long after the event. After the wedding, we received our photos quickly and every single one was perfect. We ordered a bunch of different images to have printed for family and around our home. In all of the photos, the colors pop and everything is so vibrant. I'm beyond happy with Ez as our photographer and continue to recommend them to anyone looking.

Tuan B & Co are so kind and amazing to work with. Their team is dedicated in capturing every moment with such care and consideration that you can tell they love what they do and give it their all. They are the only team I know that will anticipate social interactions during all parts of the event day and capture all the emotion in those special moments. The energy of the day comes through in their work with what feels effortless- but in reality it is the years of experience and artistic vision that can only be brought to you by Tuan B & Co.

Amy Slogar is an Orlando based photographer specializing in refined and emotional imagery. Since 2016, couples have trusted her vision for capturing real moments, knowledge of the wedding space, and reputation as a trusted and reliable wedding vendor.

Amy is amazing. From the start, she was on top of communication, making sure everything was ready and planned for the day of the wedding. She really knows what she is doing and helped me figure out what I wanted. Day of the wedding, she made everyone feel so comfortable and got beautiful pictures of the day. Nothing felt forced, as her candid style of photography is exactly what I pictured for my day. She captured every part of the day, from the big events down to the tiniest details. My husband, who is very camera shy and often takes awkward pictures because of it (lol) got GREAT pictures and actually comments often about how much he loves the pictures (which NEVER happens). I am SO happy I booked with Amy and now I have hundreds of gorgeous pictures that remind me of the best day ever. THANK YOU, AMY!!!

We are Katie and Dejan (pronounced Dayin), we met each other in high school and we’ve been together ever since (time flies when you’re having fun!). Photography is something that we both have always had a passion for, and it wasn’t until we started to plan our own wedding that we realized we wanted to turn our passion into a career. Aside from photography, we love to spend time with our two dogs, Stella and Blaire. They are Australian Shepherds with HUGE personalities, and they are a big part of our lives. We are excited to start this journey and we can’t wait to become friends with you during it!

Born and raised in Brooklyn.. one of the best cities in the world. From a young age, I was into Art starting with drawings in my notebook which I eventually end up going to school for Art. When Im not capturing weddings, I like to binge watch Netflix, play video games, go to conventions.. and I love Harry Potter. I've been photographing weddings since 2011 and looking forward to many more decades to come. As a wedding photographer, I believe in the beauty of intimate celebrations and am excited to capture the essence of your love story through my lens.

Awarded Best of Zola
Angelica captured our special day absolutely perfectly. We had hired her for our wedding that was supposed to happen in 2020 but had to be rescheduled for 3 years later due to the pandemic and through that entire time she stuck with us! She was communicative and responsive, and her shots were absolutely gorgeous. She managed to capture every single important moment of our celebration and the way she guides and corrals everyone into taking pictures that look good is nothing short of a miracle (trust me, I feel so awkward in front of the camera and I look incredible in all of my wedding shots.) If you need a photographer for your wedding, Angelica is 100% your girl.

We just had our wedding this past Friday, 8/21/20. Covid-19 created a lot of uncertainty on how things would turn out. But, there were 2 things that were certain. We were getting married and Justin was going to be there to capture it. Whether it was at the original venue, a boat, or in a tiny backyard. Justin's enthusiasm is so genuine and infectious. I had a ball with him around just waiting to take photos. Then when we started the joy never stopped. It never felt like we were completing a task, just enjoying life.

I believe you can't stand behind your business unless you can say you fully understand it – and 24 years of marriage is proof that I KNOW LOVE. I set out to capture the essence of love when I started Parker Photography in 2018. I have been married to my best friend for the last 24 years, and people who meet us swear we are newlyweds. We still act like lovestruck teenagers with each other, that same feeling we get from every newly engaged couple that we meet. We know where our couples are coming from and what they hope to capture in their engagement sessions and on their wedding day, and we make it effortless for them to achieve their goals.

Hi, I’m Kelsey! I am a wedding photographer! I am obsessed with dogs. I will never not acknowledge a dog near me by saying “puppers”. It is what it is. I would 100% rather be on the beach somewhere with palm trees. I am constantly daydreaming about being in the tropics. I love the color black. If we work together, there is a high chance that will be my outfit color of choice.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kelsey is wonderful, personable and truly a professional in her field. She was instantly able to put my family (a non-compliant husband, a hyperexcitable lab and a nervous nelly like myself), at ease, and capture some truly captivating photos. She’s energetic, engaging and just so much fun to work with. In 2020, she had shot our engagement photos and followed in 2021 with our wedding day. She even helped bustle my dress and for that alone, I will always share my gratitude! She most recently shot our updated family photos with a mini tree farm shoot, and we can’t wait to continue on with her in the future to capture more of our most special moments as a family. She has a magical way of finding the perfect angles, lighting and of course expressions. I would never hesitate to recommend her to anyone who is looking for a lively, light-hearted and true professional, customized, photography experience. Thank you for everything, Kelsey. We appreciate you!

Our videograoher, Max, was an absolute pleasure to work with. He made sure he knew our vision and captured it on the day of our wedding. Our wedding video came out amazing. We were also matched to two photographers who captured the rich moody tone we were looking for. Unfortunately one of the photographers was late to the wedding and missed our ceremony, and although the lead photographer did an excellent job capturing what he could by himself, this mishap resulted in a crushing lack of photos of my dad walking me down the aisle. Picture This Wedding did reach out with a sincere apology, and offered us some additional services at no cost, which we appreciated.

I'm Erin. I'm a photographer, traveler, and wide-eyed wonderer. I split my time between the Midwest and my bungalow near the beach in Oceanside, CA. My favorite pastimes include exploring Disneyland, watching Schitts Creek & Ted Lasso, and cuddling my dog. I have a loud laugh. I love cabernet franc, chocolate chip cookies, and I'm on a constant search for the best tacos in the world.

Erin is an incredibly warm person and immediately made us feel comfortable during our engagement shoot. We had never done a shoot like this and were nervous and worried about feeling awkward, but her easygoing demeanor and natural instructions took all the stress off of us and we really enjoyed the experience. Erin has a detailed eye and a talent for capturing the natural beauty of the outdoors which was important to us. After our first great experience, we asked her to shoot our wedding as well on a cliff overlooking Sedona, AZ. She captured the scenery and golden hour lighting in breathtaking shots that were flattering of us and perfectly captured the grandeur of the red rocks around us. We will treasure the photos forever. Thank you Erin!

This past year marked 10 years since I shot my first wedding. I’ve met so many wonderful couples which grew into lasting friendship, and photographed some amazing events. Capturing candid moments, posing beautiful portraits, bringing out personalities and making weddings fun and relaxed are hugely important to me! Beyond just capturing the day, I help every client with their timeline from the day we first chat, to pre-planning meetings, and the wedding day itself. My favorite clients are the ones that are down to earth and want to enjoy the organic moments of their wedding day.

I can not wait to have Rebecca capture more of my special family moments. My husband and I eloped on October 23rd and snagging Rebecca to capture our day was the first thing to check off on our list! Rebecca was natural, made us feel comfortable, directed us, got excited with us, and was a seamless addition to our special day! She was also fast with her response and detailed with her information. We knew we wanted to elope at Turkey Run State Park in the afternoon but were also flexible with the exact time because of weather. . . and she was flexible with us! She was more than willing to hike over a mile through the woods with us, gear in tow, up and down rocky and wooden steps – to capture the moment. The day before we eloped, she let us know she was keeping track of weather and proposed we meet earlier to avoid the rain and catch the good sun! It was so wonderful knowing she had our backs and was aligned with our intentions for the day! We surprised our families the evening of our elopement with the wonderful news and Rebecca sent us sneak peeks and a video of our vows to share with them (that very same day). I was blown away and didn’t know we could be so lucky to share photos and a video with loved ones just hours later. Rebecca also curated the loveliest video, paired with a sweet song, that I will forever cherish (she sent it while we were on our honeymoon)! It was completely unexpected and is a testament to her talent and love of capturing families in their most special moments. When we got the photos back, they looked exactly how that day felt to us. Casual, natural, fun, and timeless. The photos were stunning, she captured and our happiness so well. She is so thoughtful and immensely talented! I feel honored to have had her photograph our elopement.

Timeless | Romantic | Classic Wedding photographer - I believe in the idea that "great photos are created from personal connection." I put my heart and soul into making sure the couples I work with have the best possible experience and end up with images that we can both be proud of. My favorite part of taking photos is being able to find the special moments within your big milestones. It's those candid times, along with the significance of the occasion, that come together to create your favorite memories and it's my job to capture those through my visual storytelling.

Meg was an absolute pleasure to work with! From engagement pictures to our actual wedding day, Meg felt more like a good friend than just another vendor. She and her assistant, Vic, took the time to understand our priorities and ensure that each and every moment we wanted to capture was covered. In addition to this, they were also insanely creative creating images we didn’t even think about or consider. You’d be silly not to consider her.

Hi there! I’m the Jill in JTP. I started this company back in 2010 and have since expanded the team to include other amazing creatives. Working with people, telling stories, and documenting moments are the things I'm most passionate about in my work. Outside of photography – I love to travel and try anything new. I'm at peace in the mountains, or anywhere with a breeze on my face. But I also love sitting on the couch sandwiched between my husband, dog, and two cats.

ALL THE STARS AND MORE!! Jill is honestly THE BEST. We used Jill for our engagement photos and our wedding, both in Chicago. From beginning to end, Jill's professionalism, attention to detail, overall passion behind the lens, and ambition to provide quality photos to clients was prevalent. With so many locations for shoots in Chicago, Jill helped us talk through options, and provided examples and ideas that really helped us game plan for our big days. She made sure she was informed on our preferences, and that expectations are clear for all parties. During the shots themselves, Jill took the lead and helped instruct throughout, which was extremely helpful for two non-photogenic individuals. I loved seeing Jill's creativity shine through when after grabbing some initial photos, she'd jump in with an idea or a new angle or shot she wanted to try...those were some of the most unique! On our wedding day, it was well over 100 degrees and Jill never complained once or deviated from making sure we were comfortable with the game plan, throwing in other options for locations and timing in case we felt we could no longer take the heat, and even made an on the fly suggestion for an alternative location when our planned one was unexpectedly closed that day--because she knew the look/scenery we were going for, we ended up with amazing shots that are now some of our favorite. Jill's style (photo-journalistic/romantic/candid/timeless), coupled with her technical photography skills, are reasons we decided on Jill and her team, and we could not be happier with the results. We of course captured some of the formal family shots as expected, but our favorite pictures are the ones capturing the raw emotions of the day...each time we look through them, we laugh and cry all over again because you really can look at them remembering and feeling the exact moments...and to us, that is the BEST AND MOST MEANINGFUL thing you can hope for in photographs (I wish I could put that last sentence in BOLD). As if all prior traits weren't painting an amazing enough picture, throw in the fact that Jill is very people oriented, always dressed with a huge smile on her face...you can't help but want to be in her presence! She knows how to run her business and the steps and decisions that need to be made to continuously deliver quality and timely results. I can't recommend Jill and her team enough!! Thanks JT Photo!!

Hi! I'm Kayla - a traveling Milwaukee wedding photographer - and I'm going to make you cry. Wait, what? Don't worry, not in a bad way. Most of my couples say they cry when receiving their wedding photos from me for the first time. Five, ten, fifty years down the road when you open your wedding album, bet I'll get you again. You'll still be surrounded by your loved ones - remembering the happy tears and laughing until your belly hurts - just as you did on your wedding day.

If I could rate Kayla a million stars, I would. She is INCREDIBLE and if you're even thinking about booking her, you should! My wife and I have had the privilege of knowing Kayla since she made the transition to making photography her full-time business. So, once we got engaged and started wedding planning, we knew that we wanted to work with Kayla and man—we were not disappointed. Kayla is so good at her job in the sense that she really takes the time to understand the vibe of each couple, tailoring each session (be it the engagement shoot or the actual wedding) to make sure the pictures are reflective of the couple's style. She also was amazing in terms of helping plan out our day-of schedule. She was so efficient the day-of and she and her team were the best hype-people. When we got our preview back (she's also SO fast), I started bawling again because they are just so beautiful. She captured the emotions, the moments, and the details so perfectly and her editing styling is so dreamy and perfect. I cannot recommend Kayla enough. Not only do we know that we will have beautiful photographs for the rest of our life, but we have a great friend in Kayla now.

Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

I recently used Shutter & Sound for my wedding and they were fantastic! The team was super friendly and really skilled at capturing all the important moments without being intrusive. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors which made everything go smoothly. When we got our photos and videos back, we were blown away by the quality and how they managed to capture the feel of our special day perfectly.

Kelsey was very responsive, super helpful in creating the timeline for the day, giving us ideas on best shoot locations for the wedding day, and helping everything run smoothly and on time the day of the wedding. Also, her pictures speak for themselves, they are incredible. They really told the story of our wedding day so genuinely and beautifully. She captured my husband and I (who are not the most natural subjects) so authentically and artistically. She also really helped the day move along timely, especially with all of our bridal party and family members. Our priest was also a tad difficult about where Kelsey could stand in the church to take pictures during the ceremony, and she still captured the ceremony in full and beautifully.

Now I've expanded into portraits, engagement sessions, and I've done small weddings. I'm a Chicago native but I've also lived in Iowa, Arizona, Nebraska, & Texas. What can I say, I enjoyed a somewhat nomadic lifestyle. I have recently moved back to Illinois in the town of Channahon. My style of photography is more documentary-esque. Either way, I enjoy conceptualizing with clients to find what works for you!

Angelina was a God send. She made my day feel so special she was so professional and friendly! She made sure to capture a lot of candid moments for us and the poses she suggested didn’t feel awkward or forced. The angles, the editing and the sheer amount of photos shows how much she made my day a priority. Thank you again!

We did our engagement pictures at a brewery and she was super creative with the pictures. For our wedding day I sent her my Pinterest board and she went for all the pictures I wanted.

Having worked with over 400 couples while sharing their unique and special day, I’ve stepped up to the challenge of capturing a couple’s personal style and touch. This is what keeps me so inspired year after year. Weddings and Engagements combine everything I enjoy about being a photographer with a photo-journalist’s background; there’s the history of the moment, the bride and groom are the “celebrities” of the day with the bridal party their “entourage”, the D.J. creates the concert, and the guests are the crowd!

We booked with Louis to photograph our wedding before we even got engaged. It was the first thing we did because we loved his style and the packages/price. Let me tell you we were blown away with this talent and friendliness. At both our engagement session and our wedding we had a lot of fun taking pictures because Louis made it fun. What could be hours of silence besides some photo cues, turned into good conversations and even better pictures. His partner Gabby was phenomenal as well, they made a great team. They work very fast as our wedding was 12/16 and we already have our sneak peeks and our photos will be done in a few weeks! They sneak peeks are absolutely stunning I cannot wait to see the rest. If you’re considering booking with two 2 tango, DO IT! They captured our wedding perfectly. It looks like a movie. Couldn't be happier with our choice of photographer.

We're Jenna & Joey, a Husband and Wife team based in Michigan. We got married in May of 2020 (yes, in the middle of the pandemic). You'll often either find us at a coffee shop, the nearest burger joint or curled up in bed binge-watching New Girl while eating allllll the snacks. Oh, and we can't forget that we're dog parents to our favorite girl, Nala who is always trying to snuggle close.

Jenna was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding. We booked an engagement session and 8hr coverage from her for our wedding day with a second shooter. She ended up being sick the day of the wedding and texted us already with a plan in motion for another shooter to come in her place. When they got there they knew absolutely every single detail I ever spoke about with Jenna. It couldn’t have been more like if Jenna was there herself. She even got us around 25 photos as a sneak peek the very next day! We have talked so much since the wedding that we have absolutely zero bad things to say about the photographers and how easy they made the entire day go. Absolutely loved Jenna and her whole team and have already discussed booking with her for any future photography we might need!!

I’m Colby (he/him), your local neighborhood dog parent/beer lover/former mascot/barbershop singer/wedding and elopement photographer. My love language is shouting compliments at you. I love people and hate crowds. I prefer long hikes in the mountains to ones on the beach, but both are better than sitting at home. I really, really don’t like having my photo taken - and if we have that in common, we might work really well together.

From day one we knew that Colby was going to be amazing to work with and that we had found the photographer to bring our wedding day to life and he did just that! The quality is top-notch and his passion shows through his work. I often go back and look through our photos from our wedding and I am in awe of how every moment was captured so perfectly. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of a photographer for any type of event as they will bring joy, fun, and help you capture memories to look back on for years to come.

Her images capture the joy and love of all things beautiful. Not only does she do incredible work, but she is wonderful to work with.

The Jungle Branch offers an authentic, refreshing approach to wedding photography and is paired best with folks who wish to remain present in the moments throughout one of the most important days in their lives. With an artistically stylized and candid approach, my goal is to not only tell your story in its truest form, but to encourage you to fully live your day, allowing yourself to experience the calamity of joy with your loved ones without photography feeling like a production.

Working with Mike was an absolute dream. My partner and I are not people who feel comfortable in front of a camera. Mike completely changed that - although we had never met in person before, Mike felt like an old friend. He had the utmost patience in dealing with our wild family members before we arrived and captured every moment completely perfectly. Mike was so intentional about every shot and was incredible about getting all of the nature-inspired, detail-oriented shots that I wanted. Every time I look back at my wedding album, I'm brought to joyful tears just seeing how perfectly captured every raw emotion was. At our reception, guests couldn't stop raving about how personable and easy to work with Mike was. We had a very "free-flowing" party and Mike was able to round-up everyone and get all of our needed family and friend shots - an impossible task! My partner and I just don't have enough good things to say about the entire experience, Mike as a person, and the beautiful pictures that we ended up with. I look back on our photos and know that I will forever have memories of the moody, "Pinterest-board-inspired" wedding of my dreams!

Sebastian took our wedding photos and I'm in love with them! Me and my husband are not typically in front of a camera and unsure of how to pose, Sebastian helped us feel so so comfortable and gave us direction and different poses so there was more variety than just the one typical pose. He was so sweet and patient when it came to our families, he also speaks fluent Spanish and English which was perfect for our American/Peruvian wedding (my parents don't speak Spanish and my husband's parents don't speak English.) Not only was his personality off the charts, his photography skills were also outstanding. He caught the sweetest moments between my husband and I as well as with our families. He captured details of the wedding that I would probably forget if we didn't have pictures (table settings, my nails, decorations etc) and the quality was stunning. We couldn't be more grateful for Sebastian as a person and as a photographer, look no further cause he's the whole package!!

So, if you love my style and don't mind working with my team the day of your wedding, the option is always there for you.

Sarah did an amazing job from the get go. She showed up earlier then she said she would and got some great shots I didn't even know she was taking. She was around for the entire night and captured the essence of our wedding. We are so happy with our pictures and the quality of work provided by Sarah.

Hi I'm Patty, your wedding photographer. I am based in West Michigan and spend over 50% of my season servicing Detroit & Chicago couples. Along with servicing the Michigan and Chicago market, I have slowly begun to expand my territory to include destination work with places like Texas, Virginia, Florida and Spain. I serve couples who understand that this season is one worth being celebrated and remembered. The couples who embrace their family and their people however that looks. Most importantly I serve those who see these photographs as an investment into their legacy.

Choosing Patty to be our photographer was the greatest decision we’ve ever made! From the moment we met her to receiving our wedding photos, Patty was INCREDIBLE. She made a wonderful effort to get to know us before our engagement shoot. Not only is Patty a phenomenal photographer, but she has also become such a sweet friend - going as far to lend me her Hulu password so we could be caught up on How I Met Your Father together. I felt like she understood our style and matched our energy wonderfully. During our engagement shoot in Saugatuck, Michigan, I was insistent we went to the beach to take some photos. Little did we know it would be a nearly mile hike in the heat of summer to get there. Despite sweating our butts off, Patty had a smile on her face the entire time and was incredibly professional. The photos were breathtaking and exceeded our expectations. During our wedding day Patty was there for every special moment, big and small. We didn’t worry once about the photos because we knew we were in wonderful hands. We had about 225 guests and both have big families, Patty was able to manage all of us during our family portraits! Patty is such a genuine person with a remarkable eye and talent. We can’t recommend Patty enough to be your wedding photographer!

AwestrucKen Photography focuses on ensuring great moments in time are caught. As much as we are tech/gear heads with regards to equipment, we also know that the greatest piece of equipment any photographer can have is his/her brain. We pride ourselves on using our brains and our gear to not just take pictures, but to tell stories. While pictures, as Dorothea Lange says, “take an instant out of time; altering life by holding it still”, it’s also important that each instant of time is part of a person or event’s story.

Ken was great from start to finish and was extremely receptive to what we were looking for in terms of a vendor we can jam with and will also be able to work well with our other vendors - it was very important ALL our vendors were people we could consider people we'd call our friends and Ken is just that!

A creative soul, a love for romance, passionate to tell your love story. I am always seeking for true connection between humans, the genuine real type of connection. I believe, at the end of the day, these true moments, even the smallest ones, are what mean the most. Weddings are filled with these fleeting moments and the fact that I get to document them, stop time and hand them to you to be remembered forever means more than you may ever know. I can't wait for our paths to cross, to hear all about your ideas and plans for the day.

We LOVED our engagement photos but our wedding photos were/are something to obsess over. She captured the whole day really really well. If there was one thing that I would change I would just want more pics of the 2 of us laughing and having big genuine smiles. Sometimes getting your pictures taken can be a little awkward so anything to help with getting those big smiles on camera helps.

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.

As a florist, I love it when my couples book a photographer like Sara Gardner Photography! Her photos are excellent and she is efficient and easy to work with including sharing the photos of my creations with me so that I have some high quality images of my work to post.

Hi, Im Carol DeAnda, born and raised in the southwest suburbs and now living in Lake in the Hills Illinois, with my studio in downtown Algonquin. I have always been the one with the camera since grade school, but it wasn't until high school I realized that this could be my calling. After high school, I attended Harrington College of Design for the Digital photography program and started on my path to becoming a professional photographer. I am a PPA member and CPP (Certified Professional Photographer) and hold the Master Wedding Photographer degree from PPA, as well as a member of The Wedding Equality Alliance.

Carol and her team are ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL when it comes to photography! The work is second-to-none, the professionalism is always consistent, and everyone is always so friendly! :) I have been working alongside Carol at weddings for several years now. As a DJ, it can be tough to communicate with vendors and make sure everyone is always ready to go. This is definitely not the case with Carol. I'm able to find her in a moment's notice and she's ready to capture those precious moments in an instant! Not to mention, her genuine love for her clients. Each and every couple that she works for she gives her all - and that not only shows on the day of an event, but also in her work. Carol and her team edit and produce SOME OF THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHY WORK I HAVE EVER SEEN. Seriously. If you haven't checked out her portfolio, do it now. Carol has an eye for not only capturing your ideas, but also the tiny details that no one else would ever think about. Do yourself a favor a book with Carol and her team.

I’m a high school English teacher, so all of that time I spend wrangling teenagers and getting them to do work helps me out when I’m directing your wedding party for photos. I love being a teacher, and I love the flexibility it gives me to pursue another passion of mine: photography.

We are so happy we went with Jason! Our wedding pictures were perfect, even better than we could have asked for! He was so helpful day of! Easy to communicate with the entire time!

I'm Kelsey Lefever, a wedding photographer for wild and windswept couples. I'm based in Indiana, but travel all over the world, wherever your love story takes you. I'm a storyteller, in all senses of the word. I'm here for the couples who are more excited about their marriage than their wedding, who know that a little dirt on the dress just means it's part of a grand and adventurous love story, and that if the cake collapses on itself it still tastes just as good. If that sounds like you, we're already friends. I'm here to tell your love story.

Our biggest priority for our wedding was keeping it intimate and meaningful. We only had 10 guests, and each person meant a lot to us to be there on the big day. Kelsey was no exception. We both are very camera shy people, and the idea of having photos taken of us had made me nervous for so long. Kelsey made it so effortless and fun. She captured moments rather than staging them. I felt like she was perfectly there and also in the background when so much was going on. She helped me with planning timelines and I had so much that I didn’t think about and Kelsey didn’t stumble a bit. I totally forgot about bringing stuff for detail shots and those ended up being my favorites! All come up with on the spot while I was getting ready. I would say the best part of that day was having our photos taken, even though it was what I was worried about the most. Couldn’t recommend her more!

Destination Wedding & Elopement Photographer for the couples who are down to earth, like to have fun, and want beautiful photos too. Capturing your most authentic selves and the in between moments is what I strive for.

Planning a wedding and then covid ruining half of your plans is stressful and complicated. We got engaged in 2018 and I booked Pegi right away after seeing her amazing pictures from a friends wedding. We were supposed to be married 12/31/20 and it would have been Pegis first New Years Eve wedding. She was so excited and booking her was the easiest thing I ever done. Unfortunately, covid had other plans. Our wedding at our venue was postponed but we decided to do a small wedding with our immediate family and friends. Pegi was on board for our postponement date and offered to shoot our wedding on New Years Eve. She was AMAZING. I knew I hired the right person. Five months later was our “real” wedding. May 8th 2021. Pegi was in communication with me constantly and answered any questions I had. She had us in a precise timeline and it worked out perfectly. I was able to get every picture I wanted and make my cocktial hour. She knew what we wanted and I love that she took the most candid shots of us. My entire family and friends can’t stop talking about how incredible she was to everyone all night. She even came out on the dance floor with us and had so much fun. So far she has sent me a sneak pack, two days later, and I’m obsessed. I will be using her for the future and recommending her to every couple I know!!! Thank you so much Pegi for everything. Words can’t express how much we appreciate you, especially during Covid. We love you! Love, the Boesenhofers

I want to capture all your in-between moments, those are my favorite, the way you guys sneak looks and steal kisses. I don’t want to be just another person who shows up and waves a black box in your face. I want your photos to represent your effortless connection, the closeness with your person, and all the other things that make you guys YOU! I am inspired by your love and I want to capture YOUR raw and real story. I want to tell it through my photos. And the fact that no else has been in my shoes, I see the world through eyes that no one else has. That’s what makes me different. Also NO TRAVEL FEE anywhere in the states!!

We got married in June 2022, and even now looking at our photos and video has us in disbelief at how Ruzin beautifully captured our special day. It’s like we’re viewing someone else’s wedding, but it’s actually ours! Throughout wedding planning, she went above and beyond for us and we can’t truly express our gratitude. She takes the time to get personal and get to know you well and understand your vision to help take it to the next level. We’ve seen many wedding photos, but hands down ours were the best. Choosing her was the best decision we made!
