Christopher Ginn Photography

  • Serves Great Lakes, IL for additional fees

I bought my first DSLR camera in 2004 when my now wife, Tracey, and I were taking a cruise to Alaska. For a monumental trip like this, I HAD to get an amazing camera. Those 8.2 megapixels with nine four points had me in LOVE. Ever since then, the ability of a photograph to be able to freeze time; freeze an emotion; freeze a memory has kept me addicted. Whether it’s getting a great angle, finding light that tells the story, or capturing the true personality of someone; it all brings a smile to my face and hopefully yours!

Awarded Best of Zola
Chis is the absolute best, he captured the beauty and emotions of our Wedding Day and truly helped to make it our dream day! Chris was amazing from the first introduction meeting, to the engagement session, prepping for the big day, spending the entire wedding day with him and his team by your side, and even after when picking prints and album options. Chris became one of our favorite people! He and my husband are practically besties at this point! His patience and guidance is so helpful throughout the process. He’s incredibly professional and communicative, and the work he provides is absolutely immaculate. Even with timeline conflicts he adapted and worked with our coordinator to adjust accordingly while giving us the time and stress free environment to enjoy our day. It absolutely poured rain on our day and they captured the beauty of a less than ideal scenario. He gave us nearly 2,000 edited and finished photos from our engagement session and our 9-hour wedding day. They’re all absolutely stunning!! It makes it difficult to narrow it down for the wedding album, but he does provide the option for a curator to build you album if you just can’t decide!

My name is Abby, a Midwest based wedding + boudoir photographer who's really obsessed with her job. I've gotten to see how directly photos can impact people. As we grow up, we realize how priceless photos are and how quality pictures become prized possessions. It's a moment in time you can forever look back on. It's easy to take pictures, but it's hard to capture moments. I'll love making magic with you, because everyone has some magic in them that deserves to be celebrated.

Absolutely thrilled with our experience with AJS Photography! While my spouse wasn't initially keen on the idea of having engagement photos taken, Abby made us both feel at ease and captured genuine, candid moments (even in freezing temperatures). During our meeting before the big day, we mentioned to Abby that we wanted our photos to feel genuine, romantic, and fun! Abby captured every detail, emotion, and memory on our wedding day! On our big day, Abby was our hype woman and major helper. We loved taking home poloroids thanks to Abby from our engagement session and our wedding day. Abby walked into a low-lit venue she had never seen in person and still delivered unique and stunning wedding photos that exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend for couples with varying preferences - Abby delivers magic for everyone!

We reached out to Will at very short notice to photograph our impromptu Covid-19-impacted outdoor wedding. We got an almost immediate response. He was very cheerful and professional, and enjoyable to have around at the wedding ceremony. We were extremely happy with the results, too. Will managed to capture many sweet moments and details during our celebration, and the quality of the pictures was great. If we got married a second time, we would gladly hire him again!

From the initial consult, to the delivery of our Gallery, Sam was the superhero needed to keep things going smoothly. If you’re looking for a photographer who has skills in getting to know who you really are, making sure your personality is as much in the photos as you are, going above and beyond to help things go smoothly, take care of things you didn’t even know needed to be done, and show up in whatever way helps you while getting the job done: you’ve found her. I could not possibly say enough that would capture how great of an experience it was to work with Sam; the professionalism, care, and attention to details are as equally prevalent in her practice as her positive attitude, genuine helpfulness, and kind spirit. That is to say, Sam is everything you could want in a photographer, and everything you need to make sure it’s done with the utmost precision and skill.

Planning a small destination wedding in Key West from Tennessee felt overwhelming, especially with a short timeline and tight budget. But from the moment I found Lynn, everything changed. Within two days, she had secured all our vendors and stayed in constant communication to keep things running smoothly. Then, just when things got stressful—a hurricane hit Florida the day before we were supposed to fly out! Our flight was canceled, and I was panicked. Lynn called me and remained so optimistic! She helped me stay calm and reassured me we'd make it, and thankfully we were able to fly out the day before the ceremony. On our wedding day, Lynn communicated mostly with family members who were there to minimize any stress on me, which I greatly appreciated. The setup and decor were better than I could have ever imagined and everything flowed perfectly. Lynn took my vision and brought it to life, completely exceeding my expectations. If you need a wedding planner, Lynn is it. She’s professional, caring, and works magic to make your day unforgettable. You can tell she loves what she does, and it truly shows in every detail!

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.

We found Madison because she was an Alumni from same school, UCF, as me. We booked her to do an engagement shoot (an hour outside of Orlando) and our photos turned out absolutely amazing. From that one interaction with her, it really felt like we knew her our whole lives. She is super nice, personable, and made us feel very comfortable right away. She also had so much knowledge about the area, and any questions that we had regarding the shoot. She planned and timed everything out so that we could get photos at one location, and then sunset photos by the beach 30 min away. And then when we were looking for photographers for our wedding (in Philadelphia), it was a no-brainer that we wanted to book her again to capture our big day. She came halfway up the coast and played a large role in making our day perfect. We planned the photography from 1000 miles away, and she was really communicative and helpful about the picture planning, and also just wedding planning in general. We ran into a timing issue with how the day was going to work out before the ceremony, and she helped us navigate that, and she worked to keep us on track throughout the night for the different photos that we wanted. She knew what to do & what not to do in the Church. She also worked well alongside our videographer. Ultimately, we are very happy with our experience with Madison, and the wedding photos she took turned out absolutely amazing.

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.

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!

Collin and his team at Sound Love were excellent to work with! Collin incorporates helpful tools to guide the planning of the music and schedule for the reception. We were able to use his app easily to think through what we wanted the night to feel and sound like. The app included useful spotify playlists to help us decide what types of songs we might want to consider for the big moments throughout the evening (entrance song, first dance, parent dance, etc.) We were able to work with him to customize how long we wanted certain songs to be as well. We could tell from the start that Collin wanted to make sure to do everything possible to make our night what we wanted it to be and he succeeded! He got people up and dancing and everyone had a wonderful time. Thank you to Collin and his team for everything! We highly recommend them.

Alec & Megan were seriously the best! Alec did an amazing job at capturing our day and even showed us a sneak peak of some footage he got during our reception with a teaser of our first look the morning after our wedding. We had so much fun with them and appreciated the energy they had. Megan is your biggest hype woman! She literally helped me with whatever throughout the day including getting in my dress before the wedding and again out of my dress at the reception. She also tookbehind the scenes footage with her phone and my Polaroid, and so many other things the list goes on. My husband and I couldn’t stop talking about happy we put our trust in them for our day and how genuine they both are and how happy we were for booking not only a videographer but Beyond the Pines to capture our special day.

Hans on Beauty is owned by myself, Tricia Hans. I am the main service provider for Hans on Beauty, but also have a stellar team for bridal parties. My career in the beauty industry began at 18 while working at Bare Minerals. This is when I found my passion for makeup and decided to go to beauty school. I attended the Douglas J Aveda Institute of Knoxville.

Awarded Best of Zola
I moved to South Florida less than a year before my wedding and started looking immediately for a hair & makeup artist for my wedding and for a regular salon to keep up with my color and cuts. Tricia was highly recommended through a celebrity stylist in NY and I am pretty sure she has become one of my favorite things about South Florida. Tricia has me looking my absolute best every single time I see her and she was a rockstar on my wedding day. I cannot say enough incredible things about her talent and professionalism (and prices!)! Book today - you won’t be sorry. My mom has now started making appointments with Tricia every time she’s in FL because she can’t find anyone she likes more in NYC.

Hi there, I'm Alyssa! I am so glad you are here! I am an old soul that yearns to travel the world. I thrive off of human connections, prefer to live life to the fullest, laugh as often as I can, and am all about providing the best experience to my new friends. I am a hopeless romantic, name any romantic movie and I have definitely seen it. I just LOVE love... which is why I am your girl to capture your authentic, unique love story!

Working with Alyssa was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From the engagement pictures (that she got back to us in less than 24 hrs) to planning out every detail in the timeline to capturing the most beautiful photos on the big day, Alyssa was absolutely amazing! And everyone who interacted with her at our wedding agreed! She captured all the photos I was hoping for and then found time to grab more that I didn’t think we’d be able to get. She was game to take a trolley ride with us and just let us soak in the whole day while capturing every beautiful moment! I can’t recommend her enough!

Rhythm & Lights

SO Rhythm & lights was founded in 1989. And the premise is really simple, simple pricing that includes everything we got. We only have two add ons. If you need the ceremony, and if you want a photobooth. Our teams going to setup all the lighting, and give you their all every single time, because the price doesnt dictate if they do that. We got you covered from every aspect. We do not do hourly rates, so no need to worry about the smallest details. BEcause we worry about the smallest details. You can just have FUN at your wedding.

Rhythm and lights exceeded our expectations. They were easy to work with every step of the planning process and very helpful. As a nervous bride this was very important, their attention to detail throughout was a huge weight off my chest, knowing I didn’t have to worry about anything. Mitch was our dj and he was absolutely amazing. The reception flowed flawlessly and the dance floor was full all night. (Ask for Mitch) I can’t imagine how different my wedding would have been if I hadn’t booked Rhythm and lights! Literally the best ️. Thank you!!!

Salt & Ivy was an absolute dream to work with. Highly communicative, professional, punctual, and absolute artists. From booking to receiving the photos, they were so amazing to work with. I (the bride) am typically very uncomfortable taking photographs. This was the first time in my life that I was actually at ease and having fun. 10/10 would and will book them again in the future for family/maternity photographs.
