Gage Horne Studios

  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Buffalo Grove, IL for additional fees

My name is Gage Horne, the owner of Gage Horne Studios. I started my company in 2019 (officially) but have been doing video work starting at the age of 11. It started as gaming videos uploaded to YouTube, to shooting professional dance films in college, to starting my own Video Production Service. I found true passion in my work when I realized how important wedding videos are. I had already shot 100+ films before my wedding but realized as a consumer how valuable it is. I love what I do and finding intriguing/interesting ways to display those pieces is what keeps me creative and constantly making my films better.

Gage was awesome! He was helpful and always answered our questions quickly. He made us feel comfortable and got all the shots that we asked for!

Carter Events made our special day (mostly :P) stress free. Steven really helped to guide through the whole process. We also had Liz the day of coordinator. She allowed us just to enjoy the night while she took care of the clean up. Angela was fantastic and fun at the photo booth. Steven brings a lot of energy. If your lucky you might even catch him twerking on the dance floor. No promises though :) We are so happy we went with Carter Events!

Awarded Best of Zola
My fiancé gave me 3 photographers to look at for our wedding. When I saw Tomi, even my picky side was sold. His photography work is amazing and his communication with us before the wedding was great! He even helped us with our timeline and outline for photos. We had a big venue and were worried about sticking to our timeline and getting the photos we wanted. He took the photos so quickly and got so many photos of us! Many of his ideas took us out of our comfort zone, but ended up being some incredible shots, and he made it extremely fun to do them. One of the best parts of our wedding was getting to have a little bit of Tomi’s time!

I could not more highly recommend Kristen! Kristen was one of the very first vendors that I booked for my August 2024 wedding and I could not be more happy in that decision. Kristen's style is timeless and true to color. She focuses on capturing the day as it happens rather than focusing only on super posed shots- which I love! Kristen's communication is clear, prompt, and honest- I so appreciated her insight through the wedding planning process and especially in developing the timeline. We also received far more sneak peeks than we expected and I'm still shocked with how quickly we received our full gallery! Kristen, we are so happy you were there to capture our day!

She never looked back after her first lesson in October 2007. During her many years as a student, Olivia continued to push herself musically by competing in numerous competitions winning the annual Buckeye Christian School Organization’s spring competition for five consecutive years.

Olivia is the type of person that when you look up the definition of class, shes listed there. Truly kind and wonderful to work with, her music is beautiful and fluid. I would not recommend many when it comes to live music work but her work on the harp is truly an art. You will never go wrong with trusting her to provide music and atmosphere for your event.

Hi! I'm Sarah. Congratulations on taking the next step in your wedding planning! Choosing to work with me earns you more than just a photographer; you get a hype-girl, a dress fluffer, a confidant and a new best friend. Since we are now future besties, here's what you should know about me: My love for portraiture stems from the joy it brings me to make others feel beautiful. Few things make me feel as giddy as photographing weddings, engagements & proposals, and I can't wait to capture the next stage of your love story. My strengths lie in natural lighting, illuminating colors, and catching the candid moments that make you, you.

Awarded Best of Zola
There is not enough good things we can say about Sarah! From day 1, she had great communication before the proposal while deciding the perfect location and how we would meet up with her. She executed flawlessly and I never saw her until the ring was on my finger even though she followed us for a bit before the big moment. She made us feel so comfortable for the photoshoot after and was willing to go to a few different spots with us all while carrying all of our stuff so it wouldn’t be in our pockets for the pictures. We received the sneak peeks the next day and were blown away with how well they turned out, she nailed it!! She got the big “I do” moment which was most important and then captured so many other sweet moments right before and after that I will forever be so grateful we can relive because of her photos. The best thing about her is that you can feel the joy coming out of the screen when you look through her galleries. So many people have raved over how well our engagement photos turned out. Everyone should book Sarah, she is so great at what she does!!

Hey there! Since you are trusting me to capture these special moments in your life, I figured you should probably know a bit about me, right? I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

Awarded Best of Zola
Diana was absolutely amazing and I would 100% recommend her to anyone with no hesitation. From initial contact on, Diana was understanding of our concerns, given that we had had an issue with a previous photographer, and truly worked to reassure us and gain our trust. She was flexible, so positive and personable and of course, the photos we’ve seen so far are absolutely gorgeous and we can’t wait to see the rest. Our friends and family raved about Diana and her assistant Sarah, and told us how wonderful and friendly they were, that they felt like they were really on top of it, addressed any concerns that they had and just overall were an absolute pleasure to be around and had such a positive impact on our day. If you’re reading this and are on the fence about hiring Diana, which I don’t understand how you could be, let this be your sign to work with her. You will have no regrets and you will absolutely love your photos!

Living my best life in suburban Maryland. I love art and being creative, so photography just seemed like the next step after being an actor for 15 years. Storytelling is a HUGE part of my life- whether it’s sitting around the dinner table recounting funny memories or looking at old photographs of my own family. Some of the best stories in the world were told without words. I am a D&D, gaming, and SQL nerd, I have a newfound love of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and I am a proud plant mom. Never been married before? I'm here to hold your hand.

Awarded Best of Zola
Having Laura as our photographer was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! She is the kindest, most creative, understanding, detail-oriented, and dedicated human, and her professionalism is beyond compare. She made our day seamless, and we had a ROLLERCOASTER with a downpour of rain, a fallen power line and an emergency back up location switch that involved walking through a woodland path in Maine in the mud. She never wavered, and made everything seem like it was her plan in the first place! She even took extra time to look at our venue in advance of the day which was above and beyond what was expected of her. If you are thinking of hiring her, GET IN WHILE YOU CAN!!!!

Gabbie Burseth grew up documenting everything and saving mementos in empty Christmas boxes.

Her philosophy as a wedding photographer is to observe with as little interference as possible — no faking it, no do-overs, no “for the camera”.

Her work is punctuated by rich and vibrant color, the timeless quality of analog film, and a sense of humor found in fleeting moments.

Hi there! I’m Emma CotéEwers, your East Coast & Destination Wedding and Lifestyle Photographer! My work is a seamless blend of traditional heirloom portraiture, lively artistic shots, and a little ​photojournalism if the day calls for it. With a true-to-color, film-inspired approach, I strive to craft visuals that capture love, ​laughter, and those beautifully authentic moments that weave together the story of your ​wedding! I feel like these should include fun ​facts? Patsy Cline’s Walkin’ After Midnight is my favorite song and I am currently on my 8th ​nostalgic binge of Gilmore Girls (which might just be fueling my banter lately).

Emma was an absolute dream to work with! Quick to respond to messages; very helpful with location scouting and wardrobe choices. She promised to have our gallery edited and delivered within 2 weeks of our shoot date and she did not disappoint! My fiancé and I are absolutely in love with our photos - they're everything we had hoped for, and then some! I sent Emma a plethora of inspo photos on Pinterest and now I feel like I have my very own Pinterest board of photos that are all of me and my fiancé - they are perfection! We hope to work with Emma again in the future - cannot recommend her enough!

HOME STATES: California & Massachusetts/New England Hey! Justina here. You'll probably find me at your local thrift shop with my iced coffee in the dead of winter listening to gospel or rnb music in my ear while shopping for records and broken cameras. When i find spare time i play apex legends or attend creative events. my guilty pleasure is reality tv and unsolved crime documentaries.

I’m absolutely in love with Justina’s work! I’m usually very picky about photos of myself but every single photo Justina took for our engagement shoot and wedding turned out beautifully and genuinely captured the essence of our relationship. I’m so incredibly grateful we had the opportunity to work with her as her photos are stunning! In addition to being incredibly talented, she is also an absolute sweetheart to work with. My husband and I felt like we were just hanging out with a friend during our shoot which ultimately allowed for such natural photos. She truly went above and beyond during the wedding and captured the most precious moments. We were blown away by the quality and quantity of our preview wedding photos just one week after the wedding. We have already referred her to many of our friends and will continue using her for any photography needs in the future! Thank you so much, Justina!!

Hi! I'm Anna the founder and senior photographer of Hey Honey Photography. I am a Texas-born, California girl at heart. I reside in the San Francisco Bay Area, and have a team of talented wedding photographers with a passion for capturing your life’s biggest moments and all your candid in betweens. Choosing a wedding photographer is more than just hiring someone with a camera to document your day. They should be someone who inspires you, helps ease wedding day jitters, and is your biggest fan, empowering you to be in the moment, while capturing what you want to remember forever, with creativity, boldness, and authenticity.

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing Anna of Hey Honey Photography as our wedding photographer was more than just hiring a professional; it was welcoming a cherished friend into our most precious day. From the moment we met, her radiant energy and infectious enthusiasm put us at ease, and her passion for capturing genuine moments shone through. Our wedding in San Francisco was a whirlwind of love, laughter, and joyous chaos, and Anna navigated it all with the grace of a seasoned storyteller. She and her assistant photographer, Linda didn't just document the day; they became part of it, weaving seamlessly into the fabric of our celebration, capturing not just the posed portraits but the fleeting smiles, stolen glances, and unbridled joy that truly define a wedding. But Anna's magic goes far beyond the technical brilliance of her photos. Our guests still rave about her gentle energy and knack for making even the most camera-shy soul feel like a star. She captured not just the faces, but the hearts of everyone who shared our special day. And then came Fort Point. Ah, Fort Point. Anna transformed this historic landmark into a canvas for our post-wedding bridal session, with the breathtaking backdrop of the Golden Gate Bridge painting every scene with romance and drama. Her vision, her guidance, and her ability to turn raw emotion into stunning imagery are unparalleled. The proof, as they say, is in the pudding (or in this case, the Business Insider article , 27 of the most beautiful wedding photos taken in 2023, featuring one of our wedding photos!). To see our love story immortalized in a publication is a testament to Anna's exceptional talent and dedication. But even beyond the accolades, what truly sets Anna apart is her heart. She genuinely cares about her couples, taking the time to understand their desires and personalities. She becomes a cheerleader, a confidante, and a source of calm amidst the pre-wedding frenzy. Communication with Anna was always a breeze. Her emails were like sunshine, and her ability to translate our visions into picture-perfect reality was uncanny. Planning with her felt more like brainstorming with a best friend, and by the time the big day arrived, we weren’t just clients, we were co-creators in our own love story. So, dear Anna, if you're reading this, know this: you are more than just a photographer; you are an artist, a storyteller, and a friend. You gifted us not just breathtaking photos, but memories that will forever warm our hearts. Thank you for capturing the essence of our love, for your unwavering support, and for reminding us that magic unfolds when you entrust your story to someone who truly sees it. Without a doubt, Hey Honey Photography deserves not just 5 stars, but a constellation of them. If you're looking for a photographer who will weave your love story into captivating imagery, look no further than Anna. She'll capture your hearts, freeze your joy, and leave you with memories that will forever shimmer with the golden light of San Francisco. With endless gratitude, Your not-so-secret fans, Pearl & Tomo

Right Price Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography. The photographer and her team were very prompt and timely with communication leading up to our big day, responding to emails and calls within a day or less. On the wedding day, they arrived on time and came prepared with a detailed timeline that we had collaborated on in advance. They were extremely flexible and accommodating when I came up with some unique photo ideas, not only bringing those visions to life but also suggesting additional creative shots. The end results are beautiful photos that perfectly capture the joy and special moments of our wedding, all at a very reasonable price.

I’m sure your mind is racing with all that needs to be planned. It’s all very exciting but it can also be somewhat overwhelming. You’re planning the day that you’ve been anticipating your whole life and yet you only get one shot at it! By the time you get the hang of it, the planning is over! My goal as a wedding photographer is to make this one aspect of the planning process simple. Photography is more than just images, it’s a real part of your day. Not only do you deserve beautiful images, you also deserve an amazing photographic experience.

There are not enough words in the English language to describe how wonderful Sarah is as an individual and as a photographer! She made us feel SO special on our big day and made us feel so at ease throughout the whole process leading up to our event. Her work is FANTASTIC. Seriously, if you’re going to hire a photographer please consider Sarah. She does not treat you as a client, but as a friend. She only wants the best for her couples and ensures you are 100% comfortable and in the loop. Her communication is amazing and she will go above and beyond on your special day. She is passionate and loves what she does and you can really see that shine through her photos and vision. We love Sarah and will definitely keep her around for all other photo needs.

My style is rooted in an editorial approach, allowing me to narrate your unique love story through timeless images that highlight genuine emotions. I prioritize unscripted moments, such as the reaction of your spouse as you walk up the aisle, the inside joke that makes you break out in laughter or the tears as your loved ones share thoughtful memories during toasts. These intimate details hold immense significance to me. As your photographer, I bring a heartfelt and genuine perspective, ensuring that your wedding day is portrayed in a way that truly reflects you and preserves the memories you'll cherish forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
My fiancé and I loved working with Lucia! She did an engagement photo session with us, and the whole experience was fantastic from beginning to end. She set up a video call to get to know us, get a sense for who we were and what we were looking for, and then was super helpful and communicative when picking a location for the shoot. She was able to share sites she had used before with photos from those locations, and she shared input from other photographers on locations we thought of that she hadn't used before. When we started looking for a photographer we were apprehensive about the whole thing because we're both by nature pretty awkward in front of a camera, but she made us super comfortable and you can tell how relaxed we were when looking at the photos. We genuinely had family members say "now that's what I think of when I picture you two" when they saw our photos. She even asked for some of our favorite music and had it playing when we started, which was super thoughtful! For the shoot itself, she gave us plenty of direction but was also really collaborative and open to any of our ideas for poses or shots or areas of the location to use. We were worried on the way to the shoot because it was rainy when we first showed up at the park, but right away she had ideas for how to still find usable areas and took some great shots, and even had some clear umbrellas that made for a cute look. When the rain let up, we were able to get some wide shots that really took advantage of the location and she did a fantastic job of editing out the groups of oblivious sightseers that walked into frame. The photos definitely capture us as a couple and showcased the location we chose. After the session we got our preview gallery back in record time. She told us she was going out of town on a family trip a few days after our shoot but she'd get our preview turned around before she left so that we didn't have to wait, and she totally delivered (and probably 3x the amount she promised, so she even overdelivered). We got the full gallery back exactly when she said, and they all look amazing; we loved the experience and the photos we get to share with family and friends.

Awarded Best of Zola
Laramie is FANTASTIC! Everyone keeps talking about how good the photos are, and my husband agrees and is glad we went with Wandering Creative like I wanted. She was able to cover the entire wedding and get those extra pics of the food and decorations, things that people don't really think about. AND she got the crucial moments. She literally captured his immediate reaction to seeing me coming down the aisle! I looked at so many photographers, but I kept coming back to Wandering Creative because I loved the photos and her vision so much. And she did not disappoint. These are photos that you will look back on for the rest of your life. One of my friends said it best when she said, “she really captured the energy of your wedding”. When I look at these photos, I remember and can feel our happiness and how much fun we had. And thanks to Wandering Creative, I always will.
