I attended Columbia College in Chicago and have a BA in Photography. After graduation, I was asked by a friend if I would photograph her wedding and from that day forward I was hooked on the magic of wedding photography. It is an honor when a couple chooses LMP to capture those memories for them, as I understand that there are a lot of options out there. Over the years I have built such a great relationship with my couples, that many of them come back for portraits as they start their family.

  • Serves Gardner, IL

Hey there, I’m Virge Simone and I want to capture your love story. One of my favorite photos is one of my late grandfather holding my now 19 year old daughter when she was just a few days old. The photo was taken by me and I would guess with a basic point and shoot camera so the quality is not the best, kinda blurry, the colors are washed out but I LOVE that photo. That photo signifies to be to always be present and in the moment, because that’s the last photo I was able to take of my grandfather. As a photographer, that photo tells a story, its dated, its memorable and its timeless.

Hey there!! My name is Marilyn and I'm so glad you're here ♡ I am a couples + wedding photographer based in New York City, and happy to travel to wherever your day is at! I've had pink hair for the last 6 years so at this point it has become a personality trait and I'm 100% okay with it. I love the outdoors, pat every dog I can, and thrive on ben and jerry's. My ideal place to be would likely be frolicking in wildflowers in a dress that's way too long, but the longer the better. The patio of my NYC apartment with a good book is a close second favorite though, for sure.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Marilyn was amazing and I will definitely be recommending her to our friends! From our first initial consultation my fiance and I were so comfortable with Marilyn and knew immediately that her warmth and kindness would make her the perfect person to include in our wedding. The photos she delivered for our engagement shoot were absolutely perfect and we can't wait to work with her for our wedding in a few months!

Awarded Best of Zola
My fiancé gave me 3 photographers to look at for our wedding. When I saw Tomi, even my picky side was sold. His photography work is amazing and his communication with us before the wedding was great! He even helped us with our timeline and outline for photos. We had a big venue and were worried about sticking to our timeline and getting the photos we wanted. He took the photos so quickly and got so many photos of us! Many of his ideas took us out of our comfort zone, but ended up being some incredible shots, and he made it extremely fun to do them. One of the best parts of our wedding was getting to have a little bit of Tomi’s time!

Awarded Best of Zola
I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Ali! She reached out to me on Zola and I am so glad she did. I was impressed with her portfolio and I really loved seeing how she would capture little moments in the weddings she had done. We set up a video call before booking and we clicked. She is very calm and helped with my pre-wedding nerves. She worked with us on a payment plan and she was always very quick to respond to any of my questions. She really listened to what we wanted. She got to the venue early to scout out different shots and came to check in with me a couple of times before we even began taking photos, which I did not expect but was very sweet and considerate of her. When we were taking photos, she really helped to guide the more “posed” photos but she also captured a lot of beautiful candid moments. We had so many guests come up to us and compliment her and that was before we even got the photos back. She sent us our sneak peeks the next day and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. She captured so many beautiful moments and her style is exactly what we wanted. Nothing felt “overly edited” just perfectly genuine. I cannot recommend Ali enough. I cannot wait to see the full gallery of photos because I know they will be nothing short of perfect.

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. ✨✨✨

Awarded Best of Zola
One of the most important parts of any special event (from weddings to fundraisers) is making sure you capture the spirit of the event. Mysi has photographed our annual Story Soirée multiple times and every time her photos have left me grinning from ear to ear. They are just so so so good! Not only are the action shots of our tellers (we are a storytelling nonprofit) wonderful, but the photos of folks reacting to our stories are my favorite. She is exceptionally skilled at capturing a range of emotions in a single photo and we have then used these photos in every marketing material imaginable. Mysi also photographed my wedding at City Hall! She got so many wonderful photos of our families crammed into the small courtroom and somehow made even the drab beige walls feel magical. It is also important for me to note that Mysi herself is an absolute dream to work with. She is communicative, punctual, and an utter delight. I sincerely cannot recommend her highly enough.

Santa Monica, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,500
  • Serves Gardner, 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 was so great to work with! As two people who had never had their photo professionally taken, she made us feel at ease and the photos came out amazing. I didn't have a fully realized vision of what I wanted our engagement photos to look like, but Gabbie was great at helping me think through locations and directing us on the day of. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for beautiful digital and film photos.

Salvatore was wonderful! He was very kind and professional. Before the wedding, he took the time to speak with us about our vision for the day and the shots we wanted. On the day of the wedding, he spent pretty much the entire day with us, and was even able to split his time between our ceremony and our reception. We got his photos right on time, and they were truly lovely, with a nice mix of posed and candid photographs, and beautiful lighting and focus throughout. Salvatore did everything we could have expected him to and more, and we are very glad that we went with Milieu for our wedding!

The Archers Photographer is exceptional. Not only are talented professionals, they are amazing human beings as well. Chelsea is incredibly organized and I didn’t have to worry about a thing photography-wise. You complete a survey and talk about what level of direction you’d like on the wedding day, and what are the important points you’d like to capture. I honestly can’t say enough good things about The Archers. Our wedding photos will be cherished forever.

Hey I'm Liz! I've been in business as a wedding and portrait photographer since 2015, and have had a camera in my hand since the days before digital. After nine years in the industry my brain is absolutely full of specific knowledge I can only use for weddings, so please please use me as a resource. I live outside Portland with my Husband, kids, dog and cat. In my free time you can find me at a Mexican restaurant, a Movie Theater, or in any body of water. As an aging Millennial I've also recently gotten into retirement hobbies like birding and gardening.

Awarded Best of Zola
Liz was so easy to work with. She took our engagement photos and wedding photos. During our wedding planning session as a bride I was all over the place but she was able to help figure out photos that were needed and set a timeline with me. On the day of our wedding, it seemed that time sped up and there was a million things to do. As our timeline didn’t go as planned, most weddings don’t, Liz was able to think on her feet and get a new timeline so we were able to get all of our shots in that we wanted and still be able to enjoy our wedding, dancing, guest and each other. After getting our photos back many of our family and friends mentioned how wonderful Liz was, her attention to detail and how they would love to use her in the future. Whenever we talk about future photo shoots that we want, Liz is always brought up and will be the first to call when we need new photos!

I always loved art, but I never thought this newfound love would lead me down an exciting path where I get to do what I love for a living. Thanks to the trust that my clients put in me, I get to do what I do best — and that’s create.

Erika is wonderful! We are both shy and she made us feel comfortable the entire time, she has the craziest most creative ideas for her pictures and she doesn’t care if she has to go in the woods to get the perfect shot. We highly recommend Light Sky Photography and we will definitely hire Erika again ❤️ Like

I believe you can't stand behind your business unless you can say you fully understand it – and 24 years of marriage is proof that I KNOW LOVE. I set out to capture the essence of love when I started Parker Photography in 2018. I have been married to my best friend for the last 24 years, and people who meet us swear we are newlyweds. We still act like lovestruck teenagers with each other, that same feeling we get from every newly engaged couple that we meet. We know where our couples are coming from and what they hope to capture in their engagement sessions and on their wedding day, and we make it effortless for them to achieve their goals.

Deb and her team did an absolutely amazing job with our wedding pictures in April 2021. The pictures are so beautiful and did a great job of capturing our day.

I have a passion for travel and I love meeting new people and hearing their crazy (or not so crazy) stories. I love trying new things and walking around a new city until my feet bleed (that's literally happened...still love you tho, NYC). I'm a major extrovert, but I have a great appreciation for the little things in life. You'll likely find me sipping some strong coffee at a local café or snuggled up on the couch with some wine, pizza, and my husband on a rainy day. With a camera in hand, I am probably the most annoying person to travel with, stopping every ten feet to take a picture. Sorry not sorry.

Awarded Best of Zola
Loved working with Allie! Not to mention the photos were exactly what we wanted. She was fun, on time, prepared, found a great 2nd shooter, and worked quickly! But we never felt rushed and got all the shots we wanted. She even bustled my dress :) haha. We did a mini session beforehand and were so pleased and it made us even more hyped for Wedding Day! She was responsive and easy to get ahold of!

I am a documentary wedding photographer -- I'm all about capturing real moments. In my photographs, I’m always shooting with an eye for color, light, and dynamic shadows. I integrate these technical aspects with my background in film, literature and storytelling so with every wedding, I create a series of documentary photos that recreates the authentic narrative of a day. I’m always chasing the candid, the emotional, even the un-noticed everyday details; things that make you do a double take, little moments that make your heart swell.

Awarded Best of Zola
Rebecca was awesome beyond words and we highly recommend her. Our wedding was non-traditional and posed some unique challenges. We threw a backyard Halloween party and surprised our guests by exchanging vows at midnight. To go along with the surprise and remain incognito, Rebecca showed up in costume as an old-timey reporter with a "PRESS" marker tucked in her hatband. She pulled the ruse off flawlessly, blending in and chatting effortlessly with our friends so that she could capture those perfectly candid and special moments throughout the night. No one appeared camera shy, no one looked awkward or directed, every last portrait was of a cherished friend at their joyous best. We had been initially concerned about our lighting conditions since the event was outdoors and at night. We couldn't go too overboard with party lights, nor did we want our photographer to be milling through the crowd with a bright flash. Rebecca laid our concerns to rest well before the event, and her expertise with low-light shooting is on display in our gallery. The photos were absolutely stunning. Some of our favorites were the amazingly touching and genuine reactions of surprise when we revealed we were getting married. We could not be happier or have asked for a better photographer experience. We'll cherish these beautiful mementos for the rest of our lives and we cannot recommend Rebecca y las otras enough.

I first and foremost, love pasta. You probably thought I was going to say something about photography. Eh, I can live with that level of disappointment. I laugh, a lot; and loudly. I believe in friends and family and friends that are like family. You will rarely find me with anything sweet in my hand, and definitely zero chocolate. But I can promise you I've never turned down a french fry. When I'm not taking selfies with my clients, you can find me watching reruns (Friends, Schitt's Creek, and Parks and Rec, of course), car dancing, reciting early 00's hip hop lyrics, and online shopping.

Katy is truly amazing. She photographed our wedding in 2014 and the pictures turned out phenomenal. She also arranged to shoot at Victory Field for our engagement session which was such an awesome experience. Almost 8 years later, she is still our go-to photographer. Not once have we felt we were being “posed” for a photo. She has a way of capturing those raw, authentic moments without being invasive and she has always made us feel comfortable. She has such an amazing energy and you can feel the passion she has for her career. Katy is truly amazing and I’m so glad she has been the one to capture some of the most memorable moments for my family.

Being able to put your love for each other into a photo is my dream and I am lucky I get to do just that.

I'm passionate about the experiences that make life special, and I think your wedding deserves to be captured authentically and with care — both the quiet and unseen moments as well as the heart-stirring, spectacular moments. When I shot my first wedding 11 years ago, I discovered my passion for storytelling and the joy of being invited into the most important moments of someone’s life...and I’ve never looked back!

Barry is a cousin to my husband and he exceeded our expectations!! I really didn’t come across not 1 bad picture in the MANY pictures we received. His personality is great, and it seemed like he had a “crew” with how he captured every moment. I can’t wait to frame some of my pictures and honestly they are magazine quality. Thanks again for making our wedding spectacular, we’ll have memories for a lifetime!!

Our photographer Allison did an amazing job on pre-ceremony shots at the Garden of the Phoenix, and when an emergency came up, her boss Peggy stepped in and took over seamlessly handling both the ceremony and reception. Both Allison and Peggy really captured our best sides, despite neither of us being particularly photogenic. The photos turned out great, and the turn-around time was unbelievably fast!

I am a Chicago Southside native and have been working out of Chicago capturing weddings for the past 10 years now.

My goal is to share my love for the art of capturing a moment with others in new and unique ways.

  • Serves Gardner, IL for additional fees

I started Megan Pontius Photography after I graduated Highschool in 2021. I didn't really get into couples photography until I got married in 2022. It wasn't until then that I really saw the different seasons in a relationship. Between the first date, to the 100th date, to getting engaged, stress of wedding planning, to the wedding day, and the days after that taking on life together. I'm here to make sure those moments are documented for you to look back on years later.

I've worked with Megan Pontius in the past and she is wonderful to work alongside during a wedding day. She wants the absolute best for her couples' experience and is professional and clear in communication throughout the day. I definitely recommend her photography services to any couples looking to book for their wedding!
