I’m a wife and Jesus lover who is dedicated to serving and loving my clients well, by giving them a unique experience. I offer custom wedding packages that are designed with my couple in mind. I also provide custom timeline creations, and help with anything (even non-photo related)! By the time my couple gets their wedding images, they’ve not only gained a photographer that will produce great images, they’ve gained a friend - and to me, that’s priceless.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I could not have chosen a better photographer for our wedding day than Sierra! We met her at a wedding expo at our wedding venue, Hoosier Grove Barn. She was so friendly and we could tell that photography is her passion (even better, she got married at the barn so she knows all the good spots!). She made sure we were on the same page with the photos we wanted and helped ease a lot of my anxiety on our wedding day. Our engagement and wedding photos came out amazing! I'm so happy to have found Sierra and if we need a photographer in the future, we will definitely be reaching out to her. Thank you for everything!! (:

I've been photographing weddings and love stories for ten years and have captured 200+ wedding days. After photographing my very first wedding for a dear friend, I couldn't believe how much I LOVED photographing wedding days. To tell each couple's completely unique and beautiful love story from behind my camera...there is no greater honor and joy!

Awarded Best of Zola
First, I am SO incredibly happy I went with Winterlyn to capture my wedding day! As soon as she got to the venue, she went to work and did not stop until she left for the night. I appreciated her work ethic, professionalism, advice, and creativity. Her personality made it easy to have a great day, even in the midst of a little chaos. Also, I have to mention her second shooter, Antwonette, was a pleasure to work with as well! Second, the sneak peak pictures....BLEW ME AWAY! I wanted light, airy, magical pictures, and she delivered beyond my wildest dreams (and I only have seen the sneak peaks). Between the detail pictures, portraits, groups, ceremony and reception, Winter sure knows how to capture the magic of a wedding. If you are looking for a photographer, Winterlyn is hands down the best! Thank you for everything Winterlyn!

From my first moment as a wedding photographer, I knew I wanted to kick tradition to the curb. I was tried of seeing wedding photography that excluded the communities that I hold closest.

Ruben hands down was amazing for our wedding day. Not only did he do his job, but he went above and beyond to actually help unpack all of our decor from the u-haul van. Our pictures are gorgeous and Ruben was phenomenal working with me and setting up calls to make sure we had all of the shots we wanted. To top everything off, our pictures were ready 3 days after our wedding. Couldn’t have asked for a better person and especially for the price.

Are you ready to turn your special moments into timeless treasures? Meet Noah Gelfman, your go-to wedding photographer for creating magical memories that will last a lifetime! With a passion for storytelling through stunning visuals, Noah has garnered a reputation as the ultimate choice for couples seeking artistic, emotive, and breathtaking wedding photography.

Awarded Best of Zola
Noah is an absolute pleasure to work with and would highly recommend him. I originally hired him to shoot my wedding a two years ago and have since kept in touch and hired him for my own company events. For me communication was crucial when speaking and selecting our vendors and I don't think there was a single email that wasn't responded within less than 24 hours. This was what made us originally select Noah. Noah made us feel at ease throughout the whole process leading up to our big day and even more so on our wedding day. He showed up early, was organized and professional but friendly as well. He made us a priority before, during and after the wedding was done. Within a week Noah delivered to us our entire wedding gallery, something that both my spouse and I were astounded and pleasantly surprised with. After reading and hearing horror stories of some photographers taking months to deliver photos, Noah eased all our fears once again and sent us a full gallery online. The icing on the cake is the photography itself. My wife and I loved all the photos and he did such a great job of capturing the day. I'll continue to hire Noah for anything photography related and have already recommended him to several close friends.

I'm just a suburban girl who decided to turn her dreams into a reality. I'm all about building relationships and connections. After all, that's what wedding photography is all about. I do this job every weekend because I'm one of those people that is obsessed with pictures. Not just for a living, but for myself. I understand the value in photography. I do this for people who are just like me. For the ones who cherish those photos hanging on the walls. The photos still in that purple glitter album from 2002 of you and your friends in Limited Too. Those memories are all we have from the anchors that built us. Photos are proof that we have lived

Awarded Best of Zola
Lauryn is not only a spectacular photographer, but her organization and lively personality make working with her for your wedding such a great experience. We were nervous about engagement photos as neither of us are super comfortable in front of a camera, but she made us feel at ease, knowing exactly how to guide us and make us feel natural. We are a type-A couple, so Lauryn's professional platform was another huge benefit to working with her. Lauryn's portal houses all your information, she sends regular check lists and questionnaires to ensure she has everything she needs and is extremely communicative. This made us feel so supported throughout the planning process. Lastly, on our wedding day she was such a pleasure have with us. She corralled our friends and family to get things done efficiently without sacrificing quality--allowing us to enjoy our big day to the fullest. We received a sneak peek within a few days, and the full 1,000 images in less than 2 weeks. And they were STUNNING. We couldn't stop reliving our wedding day through her photography, and we'll forever be grateful for Lauryn's talent.

Hi, I'm Ashley! A Chicago wedding photographer with a love for capturing fun-loving and adventurous couples. From the I do’s to the epic dance moves, it’s my passion to capture authentic and candid moments created and inspired by one-of-a-kind couples! My process is simple. Document your day and create a vision with you: together we’ll create a seamless day that doesn’t feel like a posed photo shoot. I am LGBTQ+ friendly and support inclusivity and diversity.

Ashley is incredible and we cannot recommend her enough! As an LGBQT couple we were looking for someone who not only make us feel comfortable but understood posing for a same sex couple. Starting from our initial kick-off call to our engagement shoot and through our wedding day Ashley was nothing short of amazing! She made us feel at ease and like someone we had known for a lifetime. She was knowledgeable and helpful when it came to picking out a location and poses for our shoots during our engagement session and wedding day. Ashley was prompt, patient, understanding and brought a much needed sense of calm on our wedding day itself. Let's face it, weddings always have a curveball and Ashley was able to go with the flow and help my husband and I feel immediately at ease while still capturing the day. Every photo delivery we would receive, was better than the last. We thought we couldn't be happier after seeing our engagement session and then we received the photos from our wedding day. Ashley captured not only our special moments of the day but the details (flowers, table settings, bar set up, guest book set up etc.) and we couldn't be happier. Quality service, quality photos, quality across the board. At the end of the day Ashley feels like family and that's more than we could have ever asked for!

Justin and his team were so professional and calm under some challenging circumstances. It started raining when we were scheduled to do the shots with me and my bridal party but Justin had enough clear umbrellas for us to use which gave things a pretty classy feel that I can't imagine going any other way. I did catch a glimpse of all of my vendors at some point sitting down or taking a break in between segments of the day but I never saw Justin do that once. I can tell he is very passionate about what he does and he is quite the hype man! I would recommend him to anyone looking for a photography team who is not only down to earth but also so professional and detail oriented!

  • Serves Evanston, IL

I developed a deep passion for photography when I was just 12 years old. Back then, capturing moments with my friends and family meant using Kodak Film, which was not as effortless as it is today. Since then, photography has remained my true calling. In 2002, I pursued my love for journalism and photography by studying at the reputable Institute of LAINSPROCOM. From 2006 onwards, I have been professionally capturing the beauty of weddings and portraits. My photography style can best be described as honest, sincere, and intimate. I strive to capture the raw emotions and captivating moments that make each occasion unique.

Our experience with Widlet was amazing. He is such a fun photographer to be around. He is very professional and got the eye to catch the perfect shot. In overall we ended with BEAUTIFUL PICTURES. I would recommend him without a doubt.
