From beginning to end, Seth and Mary were a dream to work with. They went so above and beyond. Mary helped us run on time day of and Seth was always holding things. They have no ego and are truly there to help. Honestly a dream. Communication was always extremely clear. The photos I’ve seen are better than I could have ever hoped for.

My fiancé and I worked with Nica for engagement pictures in downtown Chicago and we are in LOVE with the results!

She had fun, unique ideas for photos and incorporated classic poses we knew we wanted. She was always quick to respond as well.

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. Since then, photography has remained my true calling. In 2002, I pursued my love for journalism and photography by studying at the reputable Institute of LAINSPROCOM. From 2006 onwards, I have been professionally capturing the beauty of weddings and portraits. My photography style can best be described as honest, sincere, and intimate. I strive to capture the raw emotions and captivating moments that make each occasion unique.

I want to send a special thanks to Widlet!! Not only was he my wedding photographer, he was personalable and his photo suggestions were great! My bridal party and i absolutely loved Widlet!!!!! He captures moments with a personal touch! He goes beyond and above to ensure your special day is stress-free. Thank you for hiring Widlet and never let this jewel leave the company!!!

Hi, I'm Louie and I am a Chicago-based photographer. I love working with fun, creative couples who desire an fun, artistic capture of their wedding day! I've photographed over 400+ weddings for couples from all over the United States and in doing so I've made some really great friends as well. Having worked with over 400 couples while sharing their unique and special day; I know that no two weddings are alike. The challenge of capturing a couple's personal style and touch is what keeps me so inspired year after year. I don't believe there is such a thing as "just another couple". Each couple is unique and so is their story.

Louie was a great photographer. You will not find a photographer this good in the Chicago area for a similar price. He is great at working with people and makes you laugh. We love the wedding photos and are grateful.

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.

Such a delight to work with Saumya! We did a fall couple photoshoot. Due to the covid-19 pandemic, other than a quick photoshoot during our wedding, we hadn't done photos as a couple before. My partner is camera-shy and she made sure we both felt comfortable to be ourselves during the shoot. She is very attentive to your vision for the shoot, and creates a warm environment where the shoot feels like fun. Our pictures turned out great!

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.

Colby delivers the best possible product in the field. The lighting, composition and quality of his photos are unmatched. But he doesn't stop there... The communication from the booking date, lead up to shoot, and execution on the day is what makes Colby Campbell Photography an immersive experience that is unmatched.

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! Fun, charming, charismatic and creative - you need that in a photographer! We will continue recommending him to our friends and family for years to come 3

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.

Peacemade shot our engagement shoot and our wedding in 2023. We could not have had a better experience with Gail and her team! Looking at their work piqued our interest and our first meeting with Gail locked in our decision. She answered all of our questions, was super responsive with our emails, and made sure we were all on the same page for the actual day of. Her and her team made taking photos and video feel organic and not staged. They were a blast to work with and we’ve recommended them to all of our friends and family.

I've been shooting unique, non-traditional, very-traditional, queer, straight, weird, normal, sexy, just-plain-fun weddings for over a decade now. Don't think your wedding falls into that category? Don't be so sure. Your unique love deserves to be documented whoever that may look. If you want bad-ass photography that stands out, all while having fun doing it, we're what you've been looking for. Let's connect. We'd love to hear your love story.

I haaaate having my photo taken. I was super anxious about the whole process going into it. It takes a certain amount of trust to let someone photograph you... Jay and his Bellocq team were A from start to finish. We were blown away by A) the sheer amount of photos given back (they don't cap their packages at certain photo counts) and B) how seamlessly the entire collection flowed together from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for more. We will definitely be re-booking them for our family photos (first baby on the way!!!) in the future. Jay is incredibly kind and fun to be around, and just puts you at ease. That is the first thing you'll notice when you meet. Can't recommend Bellocq enough!!!

We've photographed love stories from Mexico to the Rocky Mountains and beyond.

Holy sh**. Excuse my language, but It is needed to make sure that those of you reading this understand how sincerly amazing Jay and Larissa are. We have used them to photograph us personally as a couple and have used them for a wedding of family friends; and newborn pictures of my Niece, Harper. Each and every experience and photo shoot and email and text and phone call with them has been perfectly professional, fun, and reasonable. The prices are great, the people are great- and the photos are freakin perfect. Unique and fun and different- but also traditional for those seeking that. Jay and Larrisa are an amazing couple and they take seriously great photos. We will be using them for the next niece who is soon to arrive, and for engagement and wedding photos in the upcoming years. PLEASE give them a call today- they are the best!!!!!

I'm Chrissy and I'm a documentary wedding photographer with 10+ years of experience who fully believes that your life deserves to be documented truthfully. My focus at your wedding isn't to steal you away from your family and friends for hours to make "art," but to empathically capture the moments and relationships present at your wedding. Your wedding photos are the single most important wedding investment you'll make. After the day is done and over, they will be what tethers you to your memories of your day. They will be the heirlooms you'll pass down to your grandchildren to hang on walls and sit on bedsides for generations to come.

We loved Chrissy! She was fun and easy to work with, and I loved that she provided color and black/white photos. She did everything on our list, and listened to our ideas as well. Nothing felt forced or over-posed, but she was great at guiding next moves when needed. Will definitely use again for future photos.

She felt like a best friend helping out with whatever needed to be done on our big day and ran through the formal photos like a champ. We are forever grateful and forever clients now.

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!

There is so much good to be said about Stephanie Lang and her team!  Stephanie was absolutely fantastic as our wedding photographer for both our elopement and party! Her dedication to helping sort through ideas and timelines truly made the biggest difference.

Her shot ideas were incredible & handled every location with ease. Stephanie is so creative & easy going even when the rain was coming down in sheets!

Sprung Photo is a team of talented, creative, & experienced Chicago wedding photographers. The Owner, Victoria Sprung, is an internationally recognized, award winning photographer with over 15 years of full time wedding photography experience. She was chosen for multiple awards & accreditations, including the Top 50 Fearless Photographers in the world, Top 50 Photographers in the world: Wedding Photojournalist Association, & Top 10 Photographers: Masters of Wedding Photography.

Victoria was an amazing choice for our wedding photographer. We had an unusual schedule on our wedding day with ceremony in the morning, reception in the evening, and a big block of time during the day when we didn't want to pay for photography. Victoria was so flexible in putting together a package that suited our needs, shooting our ceremony herself and tapping another photographer on her team, Eva, to shoot our reception. I loved that she allowed us to scrap what we didn't want in order to fit our budget. Her communication style was professional and incredibly thorough, ensuring we were prepared every step of the way. Her pre-wedding questionnaire covered so many things that I never would have thought of! We especially loved that Victoria specialized in lighting, as our ceremony was in a park with dappled sunny and shady areas, and our reception was in a venue with diverse lighting. Her and Eva's documentary-style approach seamlessly fit into the day, capturing all the special moments without ever being intrusive, and we were thrilled to receive over 450 photos that beautifully documented our day. The photos speak for themselves!

Hey there, I’m Virge Simone and I want to capture your love story. One of my favorite photos is one of my late grandfather holding my now 19 year old daughter when she was just a few days old. The photo was taken by me and I would guess with a basic point and shoot camera so the quality is not the best, kinda blurry, the colors are washed out but I LOVE that photo. That photo signifies to be to always be present and in the moment, because that’s the last photo I was able to take of my grandfather. As a photographer, that photo tells a story, its dated, its memorable and its timeless.

Virge Simone Images provided excellent photography services for my clients wedding. Their communication was always timely and professional. Virge responded to emails promptly and was very organized leading up to the big day. The quality of Virge's work is superb - the photos are crisp, clear, and artistically composed. They perfectly captured the emotions and special moments of our wedding. Virge was also extremely helpful on the day-of, directing people for formal photos in an efficient yet friendly manner. They were able to get all the shots we wanted while keeping things moving smoothly. The final wedding album shows Virge's creative eye and captures the spirit of our wedding beautifully. We felt like Virge was invested in our big day and cared about delivering exceptional photos to remember it. As one of the top wedding photographers in the business, Virge exceeded our expectations and we'd highly recommend their services.

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 stumbled across AJ on TikTok after another creator I followed tagged her in something, and let me tell you, that was the best click I’ve ever made. AJ talks often about her “daisy chains” (people who book and rebook for progressive life events) and it’s so clear why her clients are so loyal. We had her take our engagement pictures and also document our welcome party and wedding. She has such a great eye for the perfect, unique shot, but even the expected photos came out incredible. She was at a little higher price point than some of the photographers I looked at, less expensive than others, but I will tell you she was worth every single penny I paid her. She also is just a wonderful person to work with – she did a great job putting us at ease in every interaction, facilitating our personalities really coming out in the photos, and was just funny, and personable, and kind. My guests repeatedly (and well after the wedding was over) made a point to tell me how much they liked her and how comfortable she made them. I will also tell you that I am not terribly comfortable with myself and particularly being photographed and she not only made me calm the heck down but she helped me to be comfortable enough that she got absolutely stunning photos. 10/10, definitely hire her, and let this be a lesson in trusting your gut when TikTok leads you down a rabbit hole to the perfect person for the job.

We believe that you should live authentically, explore endlessly, celebrate your traditions, and laugh at the joyful and beautiful moments found in life. We are passionate about capturing the love, excitement, and treasured moments found on your journey to marrying your best friend.

Marc and Mindy are just an absolute gem of a duo. Our wedding date was on 06.03.23. They shot both engagement and wedding day. We have been connected with them through families and friend's weddings they've done. When it came to our day, there was no doubt who we were going to reach out to. Marc and Mindy have such a special way of making a bride and groom feel so well thought of. Not only are their portraits STUNNING, they make the experience so stress-free. Mindy comes in with a ton of experience in posing...something we know 0 things about. They were so mindful of schedule and specific shots we wanted. It was such a collaborative effort in addition to their expertise. They make sure to ask alll the good questions, including getting to know you, which we found to be such a genuine touch. Don't sleep on booking them for your wedding. You seriously would not regret it. Wedding days and taking photos can be so overwhelming. You want someone like Marc and Mindy on that day--folks who will take care of you, keep you calm, and keep you having fun! They certainly know how to bring your vision to life. We will cherish the gift they have given us for a lifetime. We do not give this recommendation lightly. We understand how important photos are...you want Marc and Mindy on your side.
