  • Serves Bethany, IL

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.

Since 2008, I’ve found myself as a professional photographer who strives to capture life, in all of its twists + turns, candidly. In addition to taking pictures, I am: the owner of The Made Fest, a handmade + vintage festival; in love with my husband; a co-founder of Smile Politely, a Champaign-Urbana local culture magazine and The Pygmalion Festival; a master gardener; an epicurean; and a mother. I am a feminist and a LGBTIAQ ally.

TLDR: Justine is the best and her photos not only turned out as beautiful pieces of art, but also perfectly captured our personalities and the love and spirit of the day. Full version: Your wedding day really does fly by in a flash, but if you're lucky you have a photographer like Justine to help you remember it. Justine is a supremely talented photographer with an artist's eye and an appreciation for candid moments. Throughout the process, she showed a genuine desire to know who we were as people, and what we wanted from our photos. She is kind and reliable, puts everyone she meets at ease, and is a joy to work with. Our photos turned out ridiculously beautiful, and we'll look back happily at them for years.

Hey there! My names Chloe, I am a 25 year old photographer based out of urbana Illinois. My favorite color is the color yellow and I enjoy spending time w my partner and our pup. I’ve been taking photos for 10 years, and have interned under Brad hart wedding photography.

We decided to elope after months of planning a destination wedding. Chloe was flexible, on-board, and supportive regardless of which direction we chose to go with the day. I swear, her confidence—from the first point of contact through that beautiful September day we wed—got us through it all. She knew just how to make us feel comfortable and in our element. Our photos mean the world to us, and it is so special to have such quality prints to hang around our home. I couldn’t recommend her more!

With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

We definitely recommend OLAS. Our favorite photos from the day were our fun wedding party pictures! Everything was explained clearly during the planning process and we wouldn’t change anything from the day. We received our wedding day photo gallery promptly at the time we were expected and it was a good surprise on our honeymoon.

After our first photographer fell through, we found Caz and luckily he happened to be available on our wedding date. From the very first contact, he was incredibly responsive (super important to us), friendly and professional. His work looked great so we were excited - then we found out he was featured in Vogue! We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him. We got our pictures back today - and they’re so much better than we could have dreamed of. It’s no wonder he was featured in Vogue - his work is artistic, candid, and beautiful. Thank you Caz for giving us such beautiful memories so we can relive the best day of our lives.

I'm an award winning wedding photojournalist from Chicago, Illinois.

When the dogs aren't keeping me busy I love traveling all over the world, cooking amazing meals, jumping on my Peloton and eating Thai food while binging Netflix.

Awarded Best of Zola
I booked Sarah for our intimate wedding in April, and I couldn't be happier with the results. My husband is a photographer, so he was very picky about wanting a photographer who would capture the natural beauty of our unconventional wedding in our favorite restaurant. Looking through Sarah's work, we really loved how her work didn't look staged or overly edited. When we got back our photo proofs, we were even more blown away. During our pre-dinner photoshoot, we have so many stunning photos of us in our favorite Chicago neighborhood, both in places we wanted and in cute little alleys and doorways that she found day-of. And then during dinner, despite pretty cramped quarters, we have photos of all of our 40 guests enjoying the evening. We will treasure Sarah's work for years to come!

Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship.
