Awarded Best of Zola
Pedro was awesome! We were looking for a local (in Chicago) photographer, and found the perfect one. He was super easy to work with, and took amazing pictures. Our initial meeting was via Zoom, which made working it around our schedule super easy. He was extremely responsive to all of my emails, and even was workable with our budget and what we wanted to accomplish with photography. I love his ability to take un-staged, in the moment photos as well as great family photos. He went above and beyond for us, and we are grateful for so many amazing photos to choose from. I would definitely hire him again in a heartbeat.

It is very obvious she has lots of experience in the wedding industry and is very professional. She did a great job at coming up with different poses and some of her ideas became my favorite photos.

Lover of all things photography. I have been a photographer for over 10 years and love what we do. I have an amazing team that helps me out. My husband also second shoots with me. I like to say you get two professionals for the price of one. I try to offer quality at a reasonable cost.

Best decision we could have made. Communication was wonderful from the start and the photos are amazing. I felt Hdi has a gift of photography and what will look great. From the little details they were on it. She made me feel like family. Mostly, her images are what we have left of our day and I’m so glad we went with Timeless Imagery.

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!

Hey there! My name is Angelina and I started practicing photography in August 2020, but I've had an interest in it since I was 13 years old (I really wanted to shoot for National Geographic). 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, & now Mississippi!! What can I say, I enjoyed a somewhat nomadic lifestyle. I also just got married on August 31st, so I know how it feels to be both a service provider and a customer! My style of photography is more candid with a documentary style approach, but I do love a good editorial moment!

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!

  • Serves Bluford, IL

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

Hi, I’m Kirsten, the creative heart behind Kirsten Wray Photography! Since 2008, KWP has been capturing life’s most amazing moments, right here in Indianapolis and beyond. After earning my Bachelor of Fine Arts from Ball State University, I followed my passion for photography to the vibrant city of Indy, where I’ve been telling stories through my lens ever since. Whether it's local events or adventures across the globe, I’m all about creating stunning, authentic images for my incredible clients. Let’s make magic together!

I wish I could give 6 stars! Kirsten was incredible! She did such an amazing job, we couldn’t have been happier. She is so great to work with, and she ensured that we had great photos and lots of them. Our wedding included my toddler nephew and our dog, and she did such a great job getting their attention and giving us wonderful photos. We really got to know her, and she is very friendly, open and honest. She genuinely loves weddings and gets so excited for a great shot. She gave us feedback in the moment, which I really appreciated so that I could make small adjustments if needed. She was also great with working with our fixed set of time after the ceremony to ensure we got our priority photos done. She really knows what she’s doing and her work is great. I would highly recommend her for your wedding!

My wife and I met Catherine at a wedding show and we hit it off right off the bat. She and her assistant were super friendly and easy to talk to and we got along great. Leading up to the wedding day, she put together a timeline of the pictures and helped us get everything in order. Once the day came, she was super helpful and got amazing photos that’ll last a lifetime. She’s top notch and a great person to work with.

I can't recommend Justine enough, from her professionalism, to her artistry she is a dream to work with. As a photographer myself, I am nervous, awkward, and admittedly particular about having photos of myself taken. With Justine at the help myself, my partner and all of our guests were at ease and the images she captured fully represent the vibrant and loving nature of our ceremony and celebration. Thank you Justine for being exactly who you are and doing what you do so beautifully. You have captured for us moments we will cherish forever.

Dave Moore Photography

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.

To say just a few words about Dave: You won’t find a gentler soul than this guy. From engagement to reception, he’s there to snag the serious and the silly. He has a way of making the camera shy feel right at home, while his quirky anecdotes will keep the extroverts engaged. At our reception, Dave was our anchor. He navigates events with ease, coordinating with other vendors in ways we didn’t expect. I am forever grateful that we made the choice to work with Dave, and would recommend him with enthusiasm to anyone seeking a wedding photographer!
