Andrea Neff Photography

  • Starts at $3,800
  • Serves Carol Stream, IL for additional fees

In 2021 I quit my day job to pursue my long time love of wedding photography full time... and it's extremely safe to say I have no regrets! I've met the most incredible people through this job, and it fills me up knowing I can give what feels like the ultimate creative gift. I come from a small Illinois town with a large extended family and a circle lifelong friends who might as well be blood. My community, the people I love, and the little things that bond us together mean everything to me. Let me help you celebrate you and yours!

We LOVE Andrea! The second we met her in our initial call, we knew that she was the perfect photographer for us. We are both a little camera shy and awkward, and Andrea made us feel comfortable and taken care of! We had Andrea shoot both our engagement photos and our wedding day, and both times, we were absolutely thrilled at how the session/day went, as well as how the photos turned out. Andrea has a background in both video and journalism, so her ability to frame and capture a moment meant that we have these beautiful photos from the most important day in our lives that really reflect the energy, love, and joy. When we look at our photos, we are really brought right back into that moment - and all the memories that come with it, which is everything we could have ever wanted from our photos. In addition to her incredible expertise as a photographer, Andrea is also on top of everything planning/business wise. As someone trying to figure out how to plan a wedding, it was SO helpful to be able to chat with Andrea and learn from her, and she's so organized in her work that it was easy for us. We were able to plan how to spend the day together, she helped us with our timeline, and we collaborated to figure out what types of photos were the most important for us to have - and then she executed. Family photos, in particular, can be chaotic, and we weren't sure how it would go with our various people. Andrea came in and ran things so smoothly, our families were commenting on it even after the wedding - babies, grandmothers, cousins, everyone was captured so wonderfully (and efficiently!!). In addition to everything we can say about Andrea's professional capacities, she is also just an incredible human. There is something so wonderful in being able to say we LOVED our vendors, and Andrea is at the top of that list. From the beginning, we felt like we just "got" each other, and that she was on our team, and we've loved getting to know Andrea over the last year and a half of our life. We've got a photographer - and a friend - for all of the big life moments to come in the future. Don't hesitate to work with Andrea, it'll be the best wedding planning choice (or other life event) you can make, and it'll pay off in so many wonderful ways.

I’m Mysi (pronounced, boringly, “Missy”)! I’ve been at this thing for 12 years and I keep falling more and more in love with it all. Give me intimate micro-weddings, quirky dive bar weddings, raucous South Asian weddings... my team and I absolutely thrive in chaos and emotion. My specialty is catching the moments and those tiny moments in between. ✨✨✨

Mysi and I have worked together personally and professionally and both experiences were fantastic. The engagement photo session we had with her was so fun! She let us drag her all over Chicago and we photos that came back were fantastic. As a vendor, the weddings we've worked together have also been nothing short of perfection. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Gabbie Burseth Photo

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $7,000
  • Serves Carol Stream, IL for additional fees

Gabbie Burseth grew up documenting everything and saving mementos in empty Christmas boxes. After studying at the Grady School of Journalism at the University of Georgia, she discovered an affinity for weddings and their accompanying treasures. 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 biggest desire is for couples to be present at their wedding, not stuck in a photoshoot. Her work is punctuated by rich and vibrant color, the timeless quality of analog film, and a sense of humor found in fleeting moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
Gabbie is the absolute best photographer you could ask for! Gabbie did a beautiful job shooting my brother's wedding and we knew we had to use her for our wedding too. Coordinating a wedding during COVID was a challenge, to say the least, but she handled every postponement and venue change we threw at her with patience and grace. When we finally reached our wedding day, she knew just how to work with an over-stressed bride and groom. She’s very calming and knows exactly how to coach and compose without being overbearing. Gabbie’s greatest strength is her ability to perfectly capture the atmosphere surrounding the event, not just the event itself. Looking through her photos isn’t a reflection, it’s a magnetic pull right back to the happiest day of our lives. We can relive our wedding every time we look at her work. If you’re looking for a photographer that will go above and beyond to accommodate you while creating phenomenal memories of your day, look no further!!

After Spencer and I got engaged, we quickly realized that we needed someone to help us stay organized and on top of all of our deadlines. We hired Bristol as our partial planner and day-of coordinator, and it was easily the best decision we made throughout the planning process!! Our monthly planning calls with Bristol were crucial to helping us stay on top of all of the details, and she provided a ton of extremely helpful planning spreadsheets that made everything very straightforward. We always knew what we had left to do and what was next on the agenda. She also took a lot of time to understand our vision for the wedding day, and virtually all of the vendors we ended up hiring came at her recommendation. It was also really important to us that our wedding create as little waste as possible, and all of the vendors she sent our way helped us towards that goal. One of the things we appreciated the most was her assistance in finalizing details with our vendors. A lot of questions came up in those final calls that we hadn’t thought about or were not prepared to answer, and Bristol helped us make the right decisions every time. Bristol was incredibly warm and supportive throughout the entire process. Her genuine care for us and our wedding made us feel like we were in very capable and trusted hands. We’ve received so many compliments from our wedding party and families about how effortlessly she managed the wedding day and the events leading up to it, as well as her thorough communication to everyone involved in the ceremony. The week leading up to the wedding was entirely stress-free for us because Bristol made sure that all of our boxes were checked well in advance of the wedding. Hiring Bristol and her team is the best decision you could make for your wedding day, and we will be recommending her to all of our friends getting married in the future!! Thank you again for making our wedding day so special! Katie & Spencer

From our first conversation, Justina demonstrated a professional, personal, and friendly communication style that put us at ease. Her positive energy, timely responses, and focus on details throughout the planning process was greatly appreciated. We loved Justina's artistic and unique approach to capturing cinematic and unique moments that truly reflected our vision. When an unexpected situation required a substitute photographer, Justina quickly found a great alternate photographer, shared every details for a smooth transition, and still completed all processing and editing. This led to us receiving a stunning gallery of photos. We couldn't have asked for a more communicative and valuable photography team to be a support our special day!

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).

We had the pleasure of working with Emma for our engagement photos, my bridal portraits, bridal shower and our rehearsal dinner. We couldn't be happier with the results. From the very beginning, Emma was incredibly professional, attentive, and truly passionate about capturing the essence of our love story. For our engagement session, she made us feel completely at ease and guided us with such a gentle touch, making the experience fun and natural. The photos turned out absolutely stunning, capturing the joy, excitement, and deep connection we share. When it came time for my bridal portraits, Emma exceeded all expectations. She understood how important these photos were to me, especially since I was wearing my late grandmother’s ring, which holds immense sentimental value. Emma managed to capture not only the beauty of the dress and the setting but also the emotions and memories tied to this moment. She has an incredible eye for detail and lighting, and the photos are a perfect blend of candid and posed shots that reflect our personalities and relationship beautifully. The final images are more than just pictures; they are timeless keepsakes that we will cherish forever. If you're looking for a photographer who is talented, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in telling your story through photos, look no further than Emma. We can't recommend her enough! Thank you, Emma, for capturing these special moments that we'll treasure for a lifetime!

We are so happy we chose Lucia to capture our elopement. Lucia is professional, fast to respond to emails and texts, helpful with decisions, accommodating to any requests, concerns, and excited to give advice. Duncan and I really wanted our photographer to capture our true emotion and to get candids of us, and Lucia DID THAT! The day felt blissful and a key point for us was that we got to enjoy the day without it feeling solely like a photoshoot which I think speaks to Lucias talent and confidence in her craft. She was good at giving guiding advice for posing without us feeling posed. I put together a Pinterest board and shot list which she really did a great job pulling inspiration from. The photos are stunning and the exact style we envisioned. Also, our sneak peak was huge and she got them to us very fast. If you are torn between photographers or are just starting your research, you're in very safe hands to stop here. We hope to continue reaching out to Lucia in the future when we start a family.

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.

Sarah made everything so fun, made me feel like her most important client, and most of all, genuinely cared about what my husband and I hoped for in our wedding photos. She brought so much energy to our day, and was an absolute joy to hang out with all day. My husband, not one for all the details and photos, even had the best experience of his life with her. Best of all, we are in LOVE with each and every one of the photos from Sarah!

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”.

Danny was the best to work with, from start to finish. When we first spoke to Danny on the phone, he was so friendly and easy to talk to. On the day of our wedding, it was the same. He genuinely had the most amazing vibe to him and made everyone feel so unbelievably comfortable - our families, bridal party, guests, and us. It honestly felt great having him around. Our parents loved him and made that very clear to us, which we completely understood, as we felt the same. He was so kind and friendly to everyone and our videos were beautiful and everything we wanted them to be. If we could go back, there is no doubt that we would choose him all over again.

The hair and makeup for my bridesmaids and I turned out amazing and lasted the whole day! Her artistry and how much she loves her work really shows through. I couldn't have asked for a better hair and makeup stylist to complete my wedding day!

Hi, I'm Mandy!

Dylan exceeded our expectations from the second we booked him! Communication was so easy, I texted him a lot with random questions and he was always able to answer them and respond quickly. He took every crazy idea I had for photos and ran with them. He was willing to drive out to Kansas City for our engagement shoot which was a huge plus for us! Him and Becca did so much on our wedding night, I could never thank them enough. If I had a million more weddings, I'd book Dylan every time.

It doesn't matter if it's a lavish affair or if it's small & intimate, your wedding is a big deal! Weddings are crazy fun love filled days that go by so fast! You've put so much thought into this day & there are so many little details that will eventually fade. My job is to make sure you remember all the awesome little moments. If you're looking for an expert cake tester, who will keep your glass full AND constantly tell you how bomb you look, I'm your girl! I'm told I do a pretty great job at making people feel comfortable in front of the camera. So don't worry about being awkward, 'cause I get it & I gotchu!

Shira was super communicative, very timely and clear throughout the entire process. They did an excellent job capturing the vibe of our wedding, and Shira even helped me put my shoes on when I couldn't do it myself. All of the family pictures were very organized and I didn't feel like I had to "miss" any of my wedding just for photos. I would recommend to anyone!

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Tara Beth for our wedding in December 2022. We started following her instagram years prior and fell in love with how she captured every moment, from the guests to the couple. Not only were her photos amazing, but being a part of the LGBTQ community can feel daunting at times when reaching out to vendors, specifically for same-sex weddings. We had a few tough experiences with other vendors in regards to being a same-sex couple, but Tara Beth, as she is a part of the community, made it easy to feel comfortable and accepting. We contacted her and were met with a quick response. From the start, we knew she was the one. Her vibe and passion for love sold us! My wife and I were very nervous to take photos, but Tara Beth reassured us that she would walk us through everything - and she did just that. She talked us through our first look and it was an amazing experience. She also guided our party and family photos, which was super helpful as we were able to get our photos done ahead of schedule! We appreciate everything Tara Beth did for our special day and would recommend her 100 times over!

She showed up the day of her wedding ready to roll and jumped right into action. She made us feel comfortable and confident and helped make our day run so smoothly. She worked well with all the other vendors and helped in anyway she could to make the day go perfectly. She got our sneak peaks back to us so incredibly quickly and our full gallery was available in what seemed like record time. We will forever choose Alli for all of our photo needs!!
