Devin Hayman Photography

  • Serves Dixon, IL

Hi, friend! I’m Devin, a wedding and portrait photographer based in Lombard, Illinois. I serve Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, Milwaukee, Rockford, and I’m always up for an adventure. I absolutely love celebrating with my couples on one of the best days of their lives! I’m always up for an adventure! I’ve never met a mountain that I didn’t like. I love my dogs (all dogs TBH), Leslie Knope, and the Great British Bake Off. I would love to hear about your story and your vision for your wedding day!

Devin Hayman Photography was incredible to work with for our wedding! From the very beginning, Devin took the time to get to know us as a couple and understand what was most important to us on our big day. Her communication style was warm and personable, which immediately put us at ease. On the wedding day, Devin and her assistant captured every moment beautifully - from our posed family photos to the spontaneous moments like my brother dancing with his 6-year-old. Her work is simply a 12/10 on all levels. As a same-sex couple, we were a bit anxious about finding the right vendors, but Devin proved to be the perfect choice. We adore our engagement photos and are over the moon with how our wedding photos turned out. Devin is not only a supremely talented photographer, but an even better human being. We couldn't recommend her more highly!

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I were lucky to use Nick as our photographer for our wedding in March 2023. Nick reached out to us beforehand to ask detailed questions to get know us as a couple and to understand what kind of pictures we were looking for. The day of our wedding he was very well prepared and created a very calm environment that helped bring out the best in us. When we received our pictures back it was everything we wanted plus more. He did an excellent job and captured what we envisioned perfectly. There were many candid pictures of not only us but our family and friends that we’ll cherish forever. We are planning to keep using Nick in the future as our family grows.

This is going to be a long BUT WORTHY review because we cannot say enough AMAZING things about Julie - she is the best photographer ever! Working with Julie was a highlight of our wedding day. She has a very calming presence ad knowing she was there taking my photos made me so happy. She took our wedding photos and an engagement photo shoot and is truly one of the kindest people I have ever met! She has excellent communication and responds to calls and texts almost instantly, which was so reassuring because I was running late getting to the venue and she was fine walking around and getting a lay of the land before I got there. From the initial phone call to hear about her services and ask questions, I knew without a doubt she would be our photographer. She explained her wedding packages, her experience with photography and it felt like I was having a conversation with a friend and throughout the wedding process ad the big day, I feel like we have become great friends. She personalized our photo experience to match our style and that is so apparent in all of the photos. She provided the wedding photos within 6 weeks of the wedding day and kept me in the loop on timing and sent amazing preview pictures. She has a very easy to use gallery in which a link is provided, and you can download all of the photos. I got so many compliments from guests that she was so friendly and took so many great photos. For someone who worries about everything, photos was something I did not have to worry about because she knows exactly what photos should be taken and took suggestions for poses we wanted (it was a wedding on a tennis court so we had a few specific poses we wanted). She got so many great photos of guests, family photos, candid photos during our vow exchange and other times and during the ceremony that every emotion we were feeling was captured on film. My husband hates photos, but Julie is such a calming presence that even my husband and some family members who don’t like photos really enjoyed taking photos. She can strike up a conversation with anyone and is a ball of positive energy, which is a must have on a wedding day! Everyone that talked to her was delighted to meet her and said she was the best photographer they have met, and I couldn’t agree more. I am still amazed at the photos we received. She made the colors of the flowers, my hair (redhead) and the colors of the bridal party dresses pop in a way I didn’t even know was possible. She truly captured every emotion of the day. I couldn’t be happier with the photos and cannot wait for Julie to take more photos in the future for our family!

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 the absolute perfect addition to our special day! Obviously you cherish your wedding photos forever and we could not be happier with them! On our big day, he made sure to get the most beautifully stunning yet natural shots that we envisioned while making sure we were comfortable and having the absolute best time.

My name is Jake Moreland and I am the owner of Two Birds Photography. I am the proud father to three awesome sons, Graysen, Bear and Milo - who I fondly refer to as my unpaid interns. I also have a rescue cat who is usually underfoot. I enjoy hiking, camping, painting, black and white film photography, and I collect vinyl records.

Jake captured our wedding day beautifully. He was very easy to work with and took one stress off our plate as we were planning. During the day of, Jake blended into the scene and was not intrusive to the day itself. He made sure that we got every shot that we had asked for. He also called us aside for some photos during the reception at golden hour, which was a special time to escape for a few minutes. Jake delivered the photos within the promised timeframe. And we were delighted with the results. My 2 older siblings have both used Jake as their wedding photographer, and I'm glad I followed in their footsteps! Overall, great quality, kind human, and good value.

I'm Melissa (she/her) and I'm so glad you're here. I've been photographing couples in love since 2019 and it's truly an honor to capture your love during one of the most important times of your life. One of my favorite memories in childhood was sneaking away with my sister and looking through old photo albums, especially our parent's wedding album. Providing those happy and emotional memories for my clients is one of my favorite parts of wedding photography. I pride myself on offering my couples a creative, high-touch, seamless wedding photography experience from start to finish. I look forward to meeting you and your partner!

When my husband and I started planning our wedding, having beautiful photos was at the very top of both of our lists. For us, a photographer came before all other vendors, and we both agreed it was simply not an area in which we’d cut corners. When I cam across Melissa’s photos, I immediately knew she was obviously the style and vibe we were going for. Within a matter of seconds, I was blown away by the amount of details her pictures had, and within a matter of minutes, I was sending her a message praying to the heavens above that she was available for our date. I could not recommend Melissa enough. Her photos are absolutely stunning - they speak for themselves. But what you can’t see by scrolling through her galleries or social media pages, is the absolute GEM behind the camera. Melissa is professional, fun, energetic, happy - and she brings that energy with her through every single click of her shutter. She was so good at guiding and directing us throughout all our photos — and you’re hearing this from a couple who is extremely awkward posing for pictures! She made us feel beyond comfortable — confident! She even made a super impression on our families and wedding party. They all made a point to tell me how much they enjoyed her throughout the day! We had so much fun with her and she captured us and our wedding day absolutely perfectly. Melissa goes above and beyond and truly listens to what her couples want out of their pictures. She managed to get every single picture I could have ever hoped for— and then some! We absolutely love both our engagement and wedding photos, and they will be on display in our home forever. I could not thank her enough. I can guarantee you, you will not be disappointed in hiring Melissa! She was the easiest, and by far the best, vendor we hired! I’d hire her again any day!
