Mary Shelton Media 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Aurora, 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 absolutely marvelous, start to finish. After I reached out she got back to me in less than 24 hours, and was so easy to communicate with in the months leading up to our wedding. We had a mixed wedding with traditional elements and a modern day twist. Mary went out of her way to learn about our culture so that she'd be able to capture all of the special moments. The day of the wedding she was our biggest cheerleader, made us feel so comfortable, and herded people in the right direction. Mary is so passionate about what she does, and her love for story telling bleeds over into everything she does. We're looking forward to receiving our pictures back soon, but from the sneak peak we got, her work is just magical. Highly recommend reaching out to Mary for your special day!

Hello! I’m Amy Lynn, owner and lead videographer at Forever Hello Films. I've been a fashion photographer and music video director for 13 years, and storytelling has always been at the heart of my work. When my closest friends started getting engaged and approached me wanting me to be involved in documenting their days I knew creating films was what I wanted to do for them. The truth is, I love love. I wanted to capture their day in a way that would truly allow them to relive those moments again and again. Re-experiencing the love they shared on that day and what it felt like in a way that feels like them.

Amy Lynn's attention to detail, beautiful storytelling, and utmost professionalism is unmatched! She captured our day flawlessly and I have had so many people tell me how they love our wedding photos and day-of video. She is such an easy-going and friendly person that it feels like your best friend is photographing you the entire day. I felt so comfortable with her around us, especially during those intimate "getting ready" moments and the "first look" with my dad. Her time, professionalism, and high-quality photos and videos are definitely worth the investment. Since our wedding, we have asked Amy Lynn to photograph milestone moments in our lives. This just is a testament that not only will she become one of your favorite vendors, but become a life-long friend. Do yourself a favor and just book her!

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.

We are so beyond thankful that we went with Kayla to photograph our wedding. Throughout our engagement shoot and the wedding day- watching her work is truly incredible. She is a master and finding little moments that bring absolute magic to her photos. Never did we feel like we were doing cheesy poses on our wedding day, and the photos reflect that. We have been looking through our sneak peek pictures obsessively because they instantly bring us back to our wedding day. Throughout which, Kayla was the calm amid the chaos. She was so focused on helping us stay on time and navigating us from one task to the next. It was such a comfort knowing that she had our backs and was ensuring that we got all of the big (and small) moments we had discussed leading up to the day. We can’t wait to see the rest of our photos. We know that choosing her as our photographer was one of absolute best decisions for our entire process - from engagement to wedding day. If her pictures haven’t already convinced you- let this be your sign! You want this one.

Amanda Paige Events is a wedding planning company operating out of Chicago, IL. Owner and operator Amanda is a talented individual that takes great joy in serving couples as they celebrate life’s precious milestones. With a focus on exceptional customer experience, Amanda and her team look forward to bringing your dream wedding to life.

My family, bridesmaids, and husband were all BLOWN AWAY by how calm I was on our wedding day - which is all due to Amanda and her team. I am a type-A, particular, and organized person, which was only amplified when it came to wedding planning. We started working with Amanda one year out from our wedding day and she hit the ground running with checklists, timeline planning, and vendor recommendations. We talked through several timeline options and her quarterly check-ins kept us on track with the endless wedding to-do's. On the actual day of, Amanda and her team made us feel so calm and collected throughout the Taste of Chicago traffic, Lake Shore Drive accidents, and wrangling 20 men together for a choreographed dance at the reception. She even bustled my dress with safety pins at cocktail hour after realizing that it was a bit too long. I think the best testament to APE's work is that I never knew - and still don't know - of a single thing that went wrong on our wedding day. Everything was handled with utmost professionalism and without involving myself or my bridal party/family, allowing everyone to sit back and enjoy the celebration. I could not recommend APE, especially Amanda, Mimi, and Annie, any more.

We were nervous about engagement photos as neither of us are super comfortable in front of a camera, but she made us feel at ease, knowing exactly how to guide us and make us feel natural.

Lauryn's portal houses all your information, she sends regular check lists and questionnaires to ensure she has everything she needs and is extremely communicative. This made us feel so supported throughout the planning process. Lastly, on our wedding day she was such a pleasure have with us.

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

I developed a deep passion for photography when I was just 12 years old. Back then, capturing moments with my friends and family meant using Kodak Film, which was not as effortless as it is today.

To this day, we always tell everyone how important it is to hire a videographer... the emotion is very different from photos. Live footage just helps you piece back together and process your perfect day! I had asked for a few different things, like having music playing through the whole video and snippets of both of our vows and Jacob way overdelivered and exceeded my expectations!

I contacted Fierce to help me plan a happily ever after party to celebrate with friends and family after we eloped during COVID. Many of the the party planning companies I'd talked to seemed confused or uncomfortable with this slightly unconventional request - but not Fierce! They had great ideas, great advice and went out of their way to find vendors, decor and ideas that exactly matched our vision. Olivia and Laura were on top of all the timing and details throughout the process and always available and helpful. The party went off without a flaw or worry. What a great experience!

Hi, I'm Samuel! Chicago based wedding and elopement photographer here to give couples a truly relaxed and down to earth experience. Being photographed shouldn't be uncomfortable or boring!  Telling love stories through photos brings me immense joy. 

We were so grateful to Samuel who was able to document our city hall ceremony on a very last minute request during the end of year holidays. (Are you free next weekend?) We were drawn to the documentary style of his work and thought it was a fitting way to remember a special moment in a basement of Chicago's City Hall. Leading up to the day, we texted and chatted about places to do portraits after and Samuel was very patient and helpful in suggesting places that felt right for me and my partner. Not only did he have the inside scoop on what the city hall ceremony was going to be like and what was going to happen, but he was also great to hang out with in line and and get to know better. We both felt very comfortable working with Samuel and the nerves of working with a professional photographer for the first time went out the window. I can only imagine how amazing the experience would be to work with Samuel with more time to prepare or at locations a little less drab than a city hall basement!

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!

We had such a fantastic experience with Bozena Voytko Photography! She did our engagement photos as well as our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From the very beginning, Bozena made us feel completely comfortable and listened to, which was so important for us. She was organized and always easy to reach, answering our questions quickly and keeping us updated on everything we needed to know. On the day of our engagement shoot, Bozena really helped us prepare by giving great advice on what to wear and how to get ready. She has a knack for posing, guiding us in a way that made the photos look natural and beautiful. I loved how she captured the little moments we didn’t even notice happening. One of my favorite shots is when she caught my partner smiling at me right as I was walking in—it was such a real moment, and I wouldn’t have remembered it if she hadn’t captured it so perfectly. What really stood out was how at ease everyone felt around her. She managed to get our more camera-shy family members to relax and even have fun, which is no small feat! By the end of the day, she truly felt like part of our group, and that warmth shows in the photos. Bozena has an incredible eye for detail and brought such positive energy to the experience. I’m so grateful to have these beautiful photos, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who’s both talented and a joy to work with!

If you’re after a husband-and-wife wedding photography team who’s just as excited about your wedding day as you are, we’re here for you. We bring loads of personality and passion, capturing every joyful, genuine moment perfectly. You want more than just great photos—you want to feel totally at ease with your photographers. We’ll get to know your story, your friends, and family to create a wedding experience that’s unforgettable. With us, your wedding day’s story will be beautifully showcased in photos that you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

If you need the most amazing photographers for your wedding... please, book this duo. Brett & Joanna are an incredible husband wife team. Brett is hilarious and so easy to get along with. Joanna gives direction well and again, is hilarious. Both communicate SO well and their passion for photography is inspiring. We felt more than comfortable with them along our entire journey!! Our photos are GORGEOUS and they truly captured the memories that we will remember forever. I must include a prime example of how in-tune these two are: I have a scar on my right arm that I am self conscious about and truthfully, it would have been a challenge for anyone to get around. However, our photos limited the number of times my scar was visible, if even at all. A truly unique touch that means so much. We will 100% be booking them to photograph all future events in our lives. I can't say enough about how incredible these two are. Worth every penny and then some!!!

From my first moment as a wedding photographer, I knew I wanted to kick tradition to the curb. I was tried of seeing wedding photography that excluded the communities that I hold closest. I work hard to form a real connection with each of my clients to craft an experience that captures their unique spirit.

Ashley is so perceptive and talented! I told her a little bit about us and our style and she created the right balance between moodiness and fun that we wanted. She always got back to us just under 24 hours and answered every question that we had. She is dedicated to her clients and their needs. I enjoyed being in her company because she made us feel comfortable. She understood our needs and never pressured us to do anything out of our comfort zone. We are a more laid back, care-free couple, so we gave Ashley lots of space to experiment and it definitely paid off. If nothing else has convinced you, we have already booked our 1 year anniversary photos with her and I will continue to go back to her for any event that should be photographed.

Hank and the Park Avenue Orchestra were absolutely amazing! Throughout the whole planning process, Hank was extremely helpful and patient. He made it very clear from the start that they would do anything to make our day amazing – and they did not disappoint. I was completely blow away on our actual wedding day. My husband and I, of course, watched all of their videos (which were great), but they didn't compare to the live performance. The whole band was incredible – the drums, horns, guitar, the singers. All of our guests danced the entire time. They were also able to accommodate some of our special requests – our first dance song was not on their song list, and they were able to learn it in time for our day. They also let my father and brother play a song with the band (drums + bass) – it truly made our day! I can’t recommend Park Avenue Orchestra enough.

Full service, independent wedding florist serving all of Chicagoland and Southeastern Wisconsin including Milwaukee. I believe that your wedding flowers should reflect your blended, personal styles and accent your attire and event space, not steal the show.

Annette was truly a joy to work with! She made all of my visions come true and was so helpful during the decision process. Annette was extremely kind, accommodating and a great communicator. She was very flexible throughout the entire process and allowed me to make changes and adjustments. One way she went above and beyond was allowing us to drop off hundreds of bud vases at her house a month before the wedding. She then decided what vases to use and how to organize them on each table. That took so much pressure off of us. The flowers ended up turning out so beautifully. I received so many compliments from guests. I absolutely love the way that all of the flowers turned out and how much they make pictures of the day pop!
