Sarah Nader Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,400
  • Serves Elk Rapids, MI for additional fees

I'm an award winning wedding photojournalist from Chicago, Illinois. I was raised in the Chicago suburbs but now call Lincoln Square home with my husband and our two Golden Retrievers, Missy and Felony. 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!

Hello there! My name is Alana. I am a wedding photographer based in the Chicagoland area who ranges from lovely backyard weddings in the suburbs, to swanky celebrations in the city, to flying off to stunning elopements around the world. Weddings with me include tons of laughter, lots of support in planning and organizing, and photos so vivid that your memories jump out of the frame.

Alana was beyond wonderful as our wedding photographer. She paid incredible attention to detail, capturing our special moments in a way that felt both authentic and real. Alana made sure to get everyone on my list of people to capture, ensuring no one was missed. Her photos were nothing short of amazing, and I cannot express how many people commented on the wonderful work she did.

Thank you, Alana, for making our day so memorable!

Anna Elisabeth Photography 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Elk Rapids, MI for additional fees

I specialize in capturing authentic moments and genuine emotions through a storytelling + editorial style approach - I celebrate the beauty of moments that sing, people who dance, and the essence of love. I can promise every shot will tell a tale that lingers in the heart! I cannot wait to tell your story!!

My newly minted husband and I were over the moon from the initial contact with Anna Elisabeth. She is an excellent listener with a superb sense of capturing our wishes in her photographs. We had an unusual experience in that we wanted to capture both of our faith traditions on different days and different geographical areas in the same state. Anna Elisabeth professionally and respectfully photographically savored these traditions beautifully with her photographic gift. She was present and her presence was professionally and discretely demonstrated. Her keen sense of recording precious moments was one of storybooks.. from having the pictures of the bride's mother place, her once veil (when the mother was married 57 years ago) to having the groom's mother putting a family heirloom bracelet on to capturing the special wink given by the groom when he first saw the bride walking down the aisle with her father. All these moments were special at the time and Anna Elisabeth captured them beautifully and discretely. Communication is very important to us, and Anna Elisabeth was professional, prompt and demonstrated honest integrity throughout the entire process. We are providing her a 5 star rating but she is off the charts and anyone who uses her will understand why she should be rated a 10!

My name is Alaura, and I am a Chicago-based photographer with a love of great art, true stories, and old-school glamour. I believe in romanticizing everyday life for the joy of it. For me, that means fine teacups on a Wednesday, bouquets for no reason, and a home full of antiques. This also translates to my photography style!

Alaura was so easy to work with from day one. She is extremely responsive and understood our vision. When we got the final photos back we were so excited because they captured everything we wanted and more. She was also very organized and ready to go on the day of the wedding! Highly recommend Alaura and we hope to use her in the future for more of our milestones in life.

If adventure makes your heart beat fast, you don't mind straying from tradition, sarcasm and retro music are your love languages, and if you're down to frolic through an open field with me, we'll be best friends in no time. When you choose your wedding photographer, it's about so much more than just hiring a professional to take your photos - it's about connecting with someone who'll capture your special day with intention. So be sure to ask all your questions, and make sure you *click* (pun intended) with the person behind the camera!

I am so so glad that we chose Faith to photograph our wedding! She made everything so smooth and really allowed us to enjoy our wedding to the fullest without feeling pressured to pose for the camera all night. She was there for every single important moment, planned or not, big or small, and she was able to capture the feelings of those moments so perfectly. We really feel like we’re reliving our wedding day when we look at the photos. I’m so excited to ooo and aw at these for the rest of my life! If you’re wanting someone kind, genuine, and incredibly dedicated to capturing every moment you need Faith!

Not only did they make us feel comfortable, but they made our guests feel comfortable in front of the camera as well. We had a long distance wedding, on the other side of Michigan and Dj and Ashley were there for every moment. They listened to us and our visions for the pictures and gave us the wedding pictures of our dreams. We had our edited sneak peaks that same night and the rest of the pictures less than a week later. We are so beyond lucky to have had them photograph our wedding and so would you if you hired them.

I was that kid enchanted by Disney Princess movies and the idea of "true love". My true love revealed itself through photography. At 8, I grabbed my dad's camera and was hooked, thrilled to show people my world. I started with zoo animals, friends, and siblings, eager to freeze moments in time. As I grew, I learned from local photographers and knew by 17 that photography was my calling. Since then, I’ve captured love in all its forms: couples, new parents, best friends, and the joy of seeing your favorite band live. The world is full of magical firsts, and I'm honored to capture these moments forever.

Calling all misfits, those deeply in love, the nerds, the don't give a flying f***, just authentically you! Behind the camera: I am cracking bad jokes & cramming myself into strange spaces to get the shot. Behind the editing screen: I am smiling, getting high off the emotion of the moment captured. No shame, it’s why I do what I do. I love love. But I guess that's why you are here right? My style: Authentic, timeless, classic & filmy nostalgia. I capture those in-between moments, the messy, the loud, the intimate & the joyful ugly cry. Then you can feel like vogue for every other moment to show the world the rockstars that you are.

We used Sam for our wedding in July of 2023, as well as our engagement photos. She was everything I could’ve imagined and more. She was super fun and easy to work with. We received our photos in a very timely manner and loved how she was able to capture our personalities so effortlessly. Her eye for picturesque moments and style are top tier. I would (and have) recommended her to anyone looking for a romantic, moody, retro, candid vibe!

I value capturing your moments and memories exactly how they happen, helping you to remember the feelings of intimacy, love, and warmth of marrying your person.

I don't even have the words to tell y'all how amazing Jayde is. We are SO grateful we reached out to Jayde back in 2022 for our engagement shoot and immediately knew we needed to hire her for our April 2024 wedding. From the very beginning, Jayde was super professional, patient, and on top of it, not to mention SO friendly and warm. She made me and my husband feel so special and comfortable in front of her camera, and our entire bridal party loved her too. She created a seamless timeline for the day that worked so well and she made sure we were on time all day. The photos truly speak for themselves. She has an amazing eye and we are obsessed with her editing style. She surprised us with over 100 (!!!) previews the next morning and they were INCREDIBLE - we were blown away and shocked that she could turn them around that quickly. We are so so so excited to see our full gallery soon. Don't hesitate to book Jayde - she's truly a gem in the Chicago wedding industry. We can't wait to find another reason to book her!

Ashley Guice Creative is a Phoenix-based luxury wedding photographer with a passion for capturing the beauty of human connection. Since 2017, Ashley Guice has been creating stunning images that blend artistic flair with genuine emotion. With over seven years of experience in photography and a decade-long background in the arts, she brings a unique perspective to every event she covers.

We couldn't be happier with our experience working with Ashley! From start to finish, she was an absolute joy to work with. Her attention to detail and creativity truly brought our vision to life, capturing every moment beautifully. We had an unfortunate cancellation of our original venue, and with our new venue having a completely different look, Ashley was a great thought partner in scouting locations and helping us achieve the look and feel in our photos that we were going for. Despite the challenges of a venue change and the usual wedding planning craziness, Ashley remained positive, resourceful, and was also just down right fun to work with! Ashley is a true artist, dedicated to the artful execution of every detail. Nothing felt cookie-cutter or ordinary—she took the time to understand our vision and how we wanted to remember the day and then actualized it through her artistic lens. I wanted something artful, chic, and elevated but also real, candid, and documentary-style—and Ashley delivered exactly that. She was also fantastic at understanding how we wanted to be photographed throughout the day. More than anything, she made sure our enjoyment of the day was a priority over just "getting the perfect shot," which was crucial for us. We were able to enjoy every moment, and the photos capture that perfectly. Her team was amazing, too! We got to work with two of her assistant photographers, and they were just as supportive and friendly as Ashley. We would recommend AGC to any couple looking for a photography team who is dedicated to capturing the essence of your wedding in a way that feels unique, personal, and meaningful. - L & L

Hi! It's nice to meet you. I would shake your hand, but I'm more of a fist-bump type of gal. 😃 I have worked full-time as a math and special education teacher for over 20 years, and nearing my 40's, decided to pursue photography since it has been a life-long interest of mine. In 2019, I completed a digital photography degree and while it originally started as a hobby, my work gained a following so I decided to make things official in 2020. Over the past couple of years, my focus has been on photographing families in addition to couples in love. Getting a couple who's madly in love in front of your camera is pure magic!

Sarah was so much fun to work with! Our personalities clicked right away. She made us have fun during our engagement shoot so by the wedding we were comfortable being in front of the camera.

Kandra was so easy to work with and welcomed our ideas. Within a day Kandra gave us some sneak peaks of the wedding day and had all of our photos back in a reasonable time. I have gotten so many compliments on our pictures and I would highly recommend her! You will not regret hiring Kandra!

We’re Anton & Natalie - your new adventure buddies! On our first date we spent the day doing what we love most, getting outside. That’s also how we spent our wedding day, and most other significant, life-altering moments in our relationship. We fundamentally believe that the best day of your life should be spent doing what makes your heart sing. You’re not here because you don’t care about your day, you’re here because you care more. You don’t want the ordinary and traditional. You want care more about experiences rather than material possessions. You want the authentic, intimate, and intentional day which focuses on YOU as a couple.

Anton and Natalie have done several shoots for us between family photos, boudoir, and our couples photos! They have amazing location ideas, and do a fabulous job capturing our personalities as well as the beauty of what landscape we are photo shooting in. I truly could not recommend the quality of their work more, promptness with proofs and edits, and such fun personalities to work with. Thank you guys!

We feel so lucky to have found Andrew as our wedding photographer. He has an incredible eye for the editorial style and makes his photos into works of art with golden light and chiaroscuro. So many photographers just rely on their high-res equipment but don't offer anything more--I don't want a macro shot of every pore or line on my face like an owl in a tree at 100 yards, I want to have a sense of magic and beauty in every photo. Andrew actually does that. I almost cried when I saw our first look photos because I don't feel very confident being photographed and I finally had dozens of photos of myself and my husband that I want to share with friends immediately and cherish forever. He delivered the first look so fast, even though I know he was busy working another wedding; I thought for sure we would have to wait longer. The wedding package we chose included very nice touches like polaroids so we had something in hand at the end of the wedding day itself, too. It was very thoughtful and left us feeling good about the whole experience right away. He was very personal and nice to work with, but not intrusive, and went with the little schedule changes we had, and was open to suggestions while we took post-ceremony photos around the city. I couldn't be happier with our experience with him and would recommend him highly to anyone looking for a real artist for their wedding photography.

Hi! My name is Kade Alpers (they/them.) I am a queer portrait photographer based in New York City. I started doing photography at a young age as a way to express myself. As I have come into my identity as a gender-queer lesbian, I have used it as a way to tell my story and the story of other queer people. While I work with a variety of clients, my focus in photography is creating a space where queer people feel safe, seen, and confident.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kade was awesome to work with! They helped me get my start in wedding photography and had me as their second photographer! They allowed me to be apart of the full process, from meetings to allowing me artistic creativity the day of the wedding. They kept in contact throughout the whole process, and really encouraged me and my work. It was so fun getting to work with them, we vibe really well, and I hope one day to be able to shoot with them again! :)

Kriztelle was such an amazing photographer for our wedding journey. From our first consultation she ensured the planning was about us and made us feel at ease with choosing a photographer. We checked out her instagram and loved her work, which led to our decision to book. Kriztelle was always flexible and honest with us. We quickly understood her passion and dedication as hopped on a boat with us on very cold Chicago day to ensure she got the best shots of us! When it came to the big day, Kriztelle made sure we were taken care of throughout her entire time with us. After each grouping of photos we took, after many photo requests from our family throughout the night (of course with our approval), and our truly candid photos on the dance floor. She checked every box we had requested. We also partnered with her for Photo Booth services and she managed everything like a well oiled machine. She was patient with our family and even helped us with a plan B when our outdoor wedding ceremony was rained on (Chicago weather at its finest). She worked a long day with us and captured detailed memories we will cherish forever. We recommend Kriztelle to anyone with professional photo needs, especially on their Wedding Day.

I started my journey as a portrait & fashion photographer, primarily in London, England working with modeling agencies before moving to America with my husband 6 years ago. I would describe my style as modern, moody, and timeless. More so after raising my two boys, I began changing my photography direction toward couples & their unique love stories. I strive to capture each raw moment that truly captures this memorable day for you both. With an editorial background from the likes of Vogue, I also incorporate romantic poses that truly make each couple shine. This guarantees beautiful imagery to look back on for years to come.

Hi! My name is Abby Law, owner of Abby Law Photography! I was born & raised in Grand Rapids MI, but for the the last five years, I have been living in Tennessee. I am based out of the Nashville area! I have been working in the wedding industry since Oct 2022, and I have loved every second of it! I married the love of my life in Dec 2023 which only made my heart swell more & more for not only photography and this business of mine, but for the deeper meaning of marriage itself, and what it truly means to marry your Beloved! Although I am primarily based in Nashville, I LOVE to travel, and will travel to wherever you are!

Abby was a GEM to work with and took incredible couple photos of my husband and I! We have done two different shoots with her and they both have been so much fun! We got TONS of incredible photos that we’ve used for Christmas cards, invitations, etc. ! Her editing and posing skills are through the roof and my husband (out of all people!!!!) was itching to do another shoot with her because of how much HE loved the pics! :) We are so thankful for the gorgeous pictures!
