AJ Abelman Photography 

5.0

Chicago, IL
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Gardner, IL

I didn’t get into the wedding industry because I was the little girl dreaming of my wedding day. I love story-telling, I love love, and I love people who want to laugh and have a great time because they realize that life is short and beautiful. Wedding photography is all of those things at once; every time I go to work it’s the best day of someone’s life. How cool is that?

I stumbled across AJ on TikTok after another creator I followed tagged her in something, and let me tell you, that was the best click I’ve ever made. AJ talks often about her “daisy chains” (people who book and rebook for progressive life events) and it’s so clear why her clients are so loyal. We had her take our engagement pictures and also document our welcome party and wedding. She has such a great eye for the perfect, unique shot, but even the expected photos came out incredible. She was at a little higher price point than some of the photographers I looked at, less expensive than others, but I will tell you she was worth every single penny I paid her. She also is just a wonderful person to work with – she did a great job putting us at ease in every interaction, facilitating our personalities really coming out in the photos, and was just funny, and personable, and kind. My guests repeatedly (and well after the wedding was over) made a point to tell me how much they liked her and how comfortable she made them. I will also tell you that I am not terribly comfortable with myself and particularly being photographed and she not only made me calm the heck down but she helped me to be comfortable enough that she got absolutely stunning photos. 10/10, definitely hire her, and let this be a lesson in trusting your gut when TikTok leads you down a rabbit hole to the perfect person for the job.

Arlington Heights, IL
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Gardner, IL

I'm an artist by nature. I love photography, but I also love to paint. Growing up I could color for hours. I come from one of those families where everyone is passionate. Things are really loud and your mom asks you when you've eaten last when you walk in the door. If you come from one of these families, you know exactly what I mean. When my son was born I picked up a camera and embarked on a challenge to learn as much as I could about digital photography. I love to be with people and I love to make people feel good about themselves. We should all have a hype girl and I'd love to be yours.

Sarah not only takes amazing photos, she has an easygoing personality that puts you at ease on your wedding day. Her organizational skills make the day run smoothly and keeps the stress away!

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.

Marilyn was not only such a kind and calming energy during the hectic time of wedding planning. She captured the day so beautifully. We are beyond thrilled with the final product along with our experience working with her.

Welcome to Arie T. Photography, a black queer woman-owned and operated traveling portrait and wedding photography service based out of the Georgia and Michigan! I've had the honor of capturing all walks of life across the USA with hopes of taking it worldwide. I'm known for my use of natural light, and "unposed” stress-free approach when it comes to my clients. If you feel like you’re awkward in front of the camera, I’ll take that as a challenge to prove you wrong because I can be awkward too.

Awarded Best of Zola
Arie was an incredible presence at our wedding, which was somewhat nontraditional and much more like a party than a wedding. She took our requests and still managed to get elegant pics from our general nonsense. We didn't really have a great vision for what we wanted but thank the heavens Arie knew what to do anyway. The pics are incredible and we've been sharing them so much! She is also fun to have around and didn't add any stress to the day which we LOVED. Can't recommend her enough!

My name is Amanda Montgomery and I am Arrae Photography based out of Grand Rapids, Michigan. The name Arrae (pronounced [uh-rey]) came from my first initial and my middle name, Rae, added an extra r and made a new word. I wanted something unique that was also me, the idea came to mind one day and it just fit. Being a photographer is all I've ever wanted to do with my life. When I was 12 I saved up my babysitting money to buy my first 'big time' camera. I formed Arrae Photography in 2003 as a part-time venture while I worked at local photo labs, went full time in 2008.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a venue coordinator, I have worked with Amanda often and enjoyed when she was the hired photographer for my events. I have always been able to confidently recommend her to couples and she was always great to work with on the professional side of things. So when it came time to hire a photographer for my wedding, it was a pretty easy decision for me. Amanda is so kind and wonderful to work with. She has a way of making everyone feel comfortable and makes the whole process so fun for all involved. She captured countless special and beautiful moments I would have otherwise never seen and I am so grateful to be able to look back on those images. I will continue to recommend Amanda for any occasion but most of all, weddings! Thank you so much again, Amanda!!

Hey there! Since you are trusting me to capture these special moments in your life, I figured you should probably know a bit about me, right? I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

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
Mysi was hired as a photographer for a wedding that I planned. She was very professional, kind, personable, warm, and VERY easy to work with - leading up to the special day of the wedding. She didn't need hand holding at all on the busy day and was a vendor I did not have to worry about at all. And I do not say that for every vendor. She was very communicative with me, understood the wedding timeline, and was very flexible (which, from a planner's point of view, is very important, as not all vendors do that)! She's one of my favorite vendors I have ever worked with and I highly recommend! - Trang, Wedding Planner at Weddings By Trang

  • Photojournalistic style

  • 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 is a literal gem. Her work is incredible and she fit into our day so seamlessly and made us feel so comfortable and celebrated, all while capturing every sweet moment!!! Would absolutely recommend working with her.

Hi I’m Marc, a Passionate wedding photographer based out of South Jersey dedicated to capturing love stories with an artistic touch. Infusing each shot with emotion and creativity, my goal is to preserve the magical moments of your special day, ensuring timeless memories that beautifully narrate the unique essence of your love! I have a strong attention to detail. High sense in style, yet as easy going as an old fashion!

Marc is a brilliant gem, period. His dedication to his art is palpable. You know he’s creating magic while he’s working, but you truly do not understand the fullness of his photographic impact until you see your package. Our wedding was in April at TPC Jasna Polana. To say Marc made every single moment special is literally the understatement of the century. We talked pre-contract, shared our vision and our hopes and prayers for the day. As a bride, you do not necessarily enjoy the full experience of your wedding. You’re there but not as an onlooker, you’re just in it and always moving. When I finally had the opportunity to review the photos, I was in tears. I got to actually experience my wedding first-hand because of him and his team!! He made our dreams come true visually and created a treasure for us and our children forever. I will never trust another important milestone in life to be captured by any other artist. He is now a friend, collaborator and forever hire for our family!

Capturing every relationship and everything that makes it unique and beautiful make my heart all warm and fuzzy. I am here for all of the silly laughs and intimate snuggles.

H1! I'm Laramie Renae, Owner and Photographer at Wandering Creative. I am a Wedding & Documentary Photographer, based in Memphis, TN. I am an avid documentarian, and I cannot wait to capture your day :)

Awarded Best of Zola
Laramie was our wedding photographer for our Chicago wedding last summer along with her husband Dylan as her second-photographer, and the whole process was a dream! Where do I even begin?! The planning process was smooth and stress-free. Laramie helped us organize family photo groups, portrait location spots, and recommended a schedule that made the entire day run like a well-oiled machine. She couldn't have made the process easier! When the wedding day came, Laramie was the BEST to work with. She kept to her timeline, and organized our very large wedding party and family without a hitch. We loved how the photos felt organic, too. She really made sure we felt comfortable and the photos represented us as a couple. Best of all, we had so much fun! My husband hates taking pictures, and five minutes into the process he smiled at me and said, "Wow, this is the best experience. Laramie and Dylan are the best!" I could repeat the day over and over again and wouldn't change a single second or photo that was taken. Now, onto the wedding photos... we were completely speechless when we received the sneak peaks, and then the full album came along. There are no words to describe how beautiful the images were. They were absolutely breathtaking. We receive compliments constantly on how good they turned out. Laramie and Dylan could not have captured the day more perfectly. We are forever grateful to have these memories for the rest of our lives!

Maddy had an effective communication style - she responded quickly to emails and phone calls, and was personable in all of our interactions.

You'll probably find me at your local thrift shop with my iced coffee in the dead of winter listening to gospel or rnb music in my ear while shopping for records and broken cameras. When i find spare time i play apex legends or attend creative events. my guilty pleasure is reality tv and crime documentaries.

I’m absolutely in love with Justina’s work! I’m usually very picky about photos of myself but every single photo Justina took for our engagement shoot and wedding turned out beautifully and genuinely captured the essence of our relationship. I’m so incredibly grateful we had the opportunity to work with her as her photos are stunning! In addition to being incredibly talented, she is also an absolute sweetheart to work with. My husband and I felt like we were just hanging out with a friend during our shoot which ultimately allowed for such natural photos. She truly went above and beyond during the wedding and captured the most precious moments. We were blown away by the quality and quantity of our preview wedding photos just one week after the wedding. We have already referred her to many of our friends and will continue using her for any photography needs in the future! Thank you so much, Justina!!

I’m sure your mind is racing with all that needs to be planned. It’s all very exciting but it can also be somewhat overwhelming. You’re planning the day that you’ve been anticipating your whole life and yet you only get one shot at it! By the time you get the hang of it, the planning is over! My goal as a wedding photographer is to make this one aspect of the planning process simple. Photography is more than just images, it’s a real part of your day. Not only do you deserve beautiful images, you also deserve an amazing photographic experience.

I absolutely LOVED working with Sarah as my wedding photographer! From the moment I booked her until the final gallery was delivered, I couldn't have had a better experience. Sarah made everything so fun, made me feel like her most important client, and most of all, genuinely cared about what my husband and I hoped for in our wedding photos. She brought so much energy to our day, and was an absolute joy to hang out with all day. My husband, not one for all the details and photos, even had the best experience of his life with her. Best of all, we are in LOVE with each and every one of the photos from Sarah! Each one perfectly captures a memory and a moment (in the most beautiful possible way) that my husband and I will treasure forever. We cannot recommend Sarah enough!!

Whether that be your first sip of coffee in the morning with your girls, or your big moment when you’re walking down that beautifully stretched aisle. Every moment is so so so important. I would love to be the one that tells your story through your littlest and biggest moments.

I have worked with Madalyn earlier this year on a wedding and she’s an awesome vendor to work with! Easy going, friendly, professional, you name it! Couldn’t recommend her enough!

She truly cares about details and the clients she is working with and know how to get people to open up to capture these sweet moments. And she does it in such a personalized way and I feel like we all truly got to know each other in the process.

  • Serves Gardner, IL for additional fees

The word ‘milieu’ defines how we want to capture your wedding: as whole of scenery. Any experience is the result of a series of moments and feeling of our interaction with others. Images can recreate those intangible elements more fully in our mind, allowing us to relive our emotional experience long after the day has ended.
