Sun Flash Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,400
  • Serves Donovan, 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.

Sun Flash Photography is an amazing wedding photography vendor that I highly recommend. Their communication style is awesome, and I love the quality of their work. The photos they capture are truly top-notch, and they provide excellent value for their services. I absolutely love to recommend Sun Flash Photography to any couple planning their wedding.

  • Serves Donovan, IL

WELCOME! I'M LISA. And I am so glad you found my online home! There’s something magical about the sparkle in a man’s eye as he says “I do” to his bride. There’s something wondrous about the warmth of your husband’s comforting embrace after a long day at work. And there’s something simply delightful about the mischievous grin on a toddler’s face as they burst into laughter, telling their momma the best joke ever. (Spoiler alert: it'd probably be a bit inappropriate for the dinner table!)

Awarded Best of Zola
I have worked professionally with Lisa as well as a client and she is a thoughtful, passionate and professional photographer! Lisa is always willing to create something truly one-of-a-kind to ensure the meaning of my work or the couple's day is one to remember. She is organized, attentive and her photography is five stars!

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.

Karen Shoufler Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves Donovan, IL

As an experienced wedding photographer who has photographed over 150 weddings in ten states, I've come to love joyful, adventurous couples who adore their friends and family. My couples tend to care most about genuine emotion and tender moments of the day and having timeless, classic, happy photos that will stand the test of time. They can't wait to have a stunning album full of the story of their wedding day to look at for years to come and share with generations. They see the wedding as the start of a beautiful marriage and care more about their marriage than making their wedding a production.

She was professional but fun – and completely unobtrusive, yet she was right there for every important moment and seemed to capture everything!

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!

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.

He was extremely responsive to all of my emails, and even was workable with our budget and what we wanted to accomplish with photography.

Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving and laughing. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I got you!

Awarded Best of Zola
PictureMeThisByLacie was one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding process. Lacie was amazing to work with the entire time. She was easy to communicate with and kept us updated on our photo timelines, not to mention all of our photos turned about AMAZING. Our package included an engagement session and Lacie worked out a weekend she was already in Chicago to accommodate us. Leading up to our session, we had issues with controlled fires and protests in our preferred location, but Lacie found us a spot that blew my expectations for photos out of the water. She gave us a sneak peak and also got our pictures back to us super quick. On our big day, Lacie and Tim(her husband/second photographer) were the best to work with. They made us feel comfortable and captured our day better than we could have imagined. As soon as they got there, they got straight to work. Lacie got all the details and getting ready photos that I will cherish forever. Things were running behind the day of and they let us add on an hour to our contract the day of and pay at a later date. This ensured that we got dance floor photos and it was so worth it! Specifically getting pictures of my husband's grandmother in her 80s dancing with all her grandkids. We received a sneak peak very quickly and our whole (massive) gallery less than 2 months after the wedding. For as many photos as we got, this was a crazy quick turn around. Overall, PictureMeThisByLacie captured our day better than we could have ever imagined, we could not recommend them more!

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Awarded Best of Zola
Abby wasn’t able to travel to my wedding but she sent her assistants and she edited the photos. It went absolutely perfect. The photos were beautiful and I got so many meaningful photos with my family and his family that I wouldn’t have thought to get. I sent her draft of a timeline and the photographers printed it out and had it to make sure the photos I wanted got done. They were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much to Abby and her team.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

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. I know photography can be daunting for some people and my goal is always to put people at ease.

Timeless Imagery & Media was an excellent choice for our wedding photographer. Their communication throughout the process was prompt, effective, and considerate. Heidi and her team made sure to capture all the angles and had the best ideas for creative photos with our family and friends. The quality of their work was superb, and they were incredibly accommodating in bringing our vision to life. The team went above and beyond to ensure the pictures were exactly what we wanted. We are thrilled with the beautiful, lasting memories they were able to provide from our special day.

If you’re looking for a professional, personable, talented wedding photographer, look no further than Sarah Nader! We worked with Sarah for both our engagement shoot and our wedding day, and we could not be more pleased. We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives! Sarah delivered on everything we asked for, and more. She was both patient and helped us stay on track with our bridal and family photos on our wedding day. She made us feel so comfortable and documented our day beautifully. Sarah hustles to get the shot and offers some direction while allowing lovely, natural moments to unfold organically. She suggested we do a night champagne shot and we’re so glad we did! We enthusiastically recommend Sarah Nader for your wedding photography needs!

I have 12 years of photography experience, 6 years in the industry and have shot more than 180 weddings. Safe to say, this IS my passion. Couples and wedding photography can be SO stressful--the pressure to look and be a certain way or follow trends is INTENSE. Wedding stress is real and I am anti it all the way. For my couples, they're job is just to show up and have fun. I will do ALL the rest!
