Photography remains my #1 passion and I am looking forward to all adventures that come with it. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions

The team of photographers at Stella Studios is amazing to work with. First of all, they're quality of work as well as the quality of individuals you'll have is off the charts.

My name is Cecilia but you can call me Cece. I'm so happy you are here. I'm married to the love of my life and together we have three rambunctious little boys. I'm based in Utah and I LOVE traveling. If your wedding is out of state I would love to come to you. I have always found joy in taking photos. It wasn't until I got pregnant with my first child that I developed a strong passion for photography. When I'm not taking pictures I enjoy exercising, reading books, and hanging out with my family & friends

Awarded Best of Zola
Cannot recommend Cece enough! First and foremost the pictures turned out AMAZING. Most of my guests didn’t take photos throughout the event simply because they saw Cece everywhere and knew she was getting the shot AND SHE WAS. She was so communicative and fun to work with. We are also new to the area and she was amazing at helping us find other great and reliable vendors.

  • Serves Ladd, IL for additional fees

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 is such a joy to work with. From the first time we met up, I knew we would be a great fit for working together. She’s relatable, knowledgeable, and makes sure you’re taken care of - which is a great asset to have! I love working with her, and look forward to many more weddings with her!

  • Serves Ladd, IL for additional fees

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
Allie did a fantastic job with not only our wedding, but our engagement photos as well! She understood what we wanted the photos to look like and made the shoots themselves so fun! My husband does not like being in photos, but she was able to create an experience where we were able to get many great photos of us that felt natural. I have gotten many compliments from friends and family on our photos and I have Allie to thank for that - could not sing higher praises!

Jay Dee Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,800
  • Serves Ladd, IL for additional fees

A Charleston Wedding Photographer with a fierce love for storytelling, fostering memories and capturing those moments that you will want to treasure forever. I get to tell your story. And, I think that’s pretty cool. I love traveling everywhere and anywhere, talking with my hands, buying plants (and attempting to keep them alive), and spending as much time as I can with my loved ones. I have lived in Boston, Paris, and New York City, and am now lucky enough to call Charleston home, while also still traveling the world for my clients. You can usually find me on my back porch in downtown Charleston, right next to my favorite little park.

tldr: Jessica is amazing and I don’t think you can go wrong with her if this is the style of photos you like I had a lot of difficulty picking a photographer as I’m pretty picky with photos. I knew I wanted something bright and light, with kind of a whimsical or ethereal vibe, but it was really hard finding the style until I came across the “fine art” style. Jessica’s name came up while researching this style and I decided to reach out to her among a few other fine art photographers. I definitely hoped talks would go well with Jessica as the others I contacted ended up either not responding or were wildly out of my budget. Pre-Planning: Jessica was wonderful throughout this process. She promptly responded to my emails and answered questions clearly. I never felt like I was left in the dark for any part of the process. When I sent her the timeline of the ceremony/reception, she quickly came up with a timeline to slot in all the photos to be taken ahead of time at the location (We had access to the venue for a little over an hour prior to the ceremony). She also asked for a list of family photos that we wanted to take. This made it very easy at the wedding as she could call out people’s name to make sure everyone that was supposed to be in the pictures, were in the pictures. Jessica also sent over a list of ideas for detail shots and explained she could do this ahead of time. We didn’t want extra pictures of these and decided against it, however, I still thought it was very thoughtful of her to offer. Wedding Day: I loved her energy at the wedding. She was very calm and felt very competent. She directed my husband and I throughout the pictures, showing us poses etc. During family and wedding party photos, even though we had many bodies to fit in the frame in quite a few pictures, she led us through them with ease and the entire experience was very stress free (or as stress free as can be at a wedding lol). The venue was quite dim at specific locations, but the final results did not reflect that at all. The pictures were bright and did not look like they were taken in the dark at all. (This is a little off topic but I loved the little apron with pockets she wore for her equipment. So cute) I’m not sure when Jessica had the time, but there were pictures around the venue which were so beautiful. I definitely feel like the day was captured through the pictures. Post Wedding: Jessica sent us a sneak peak 2 days after the wedding containing 23 pictures. They turned out great and were beautiful. You can see examples on her website so I won’t elaborate, but they really are that good. The full gallery was sent almost a month after the wedding (minus 2 days) with instructions on purchasing prints or an album attached. The full download contained 650ish files, including the sneak peek pictures. Half of which were black and white, so this matched up pretty perfectly with Jessica’s estimation of the amount of photos when we spoke in the pre-planning stage.

Hey lovely couples! 💍✨ I’m Justice, a Northern IL photographer passionate about capturing cinematic, true-to-color love stories with warmth and authenticity.

The resulting photos are absolute works of art that beautifully capture one of the most special times of our lives. Justice also made sure to incorporate personal touches that reflected our unique story, creating classic shots as well as fun, lighthearted ones.

I aspire to deliver perfectly imperfect images that will be treasured forever. My style is documentary & candid. While I do enjoy posed moments, I believe your family's love shines through best when you are being yourselves. This means you don't have to worry about kids being on their best behavior - I am a professional toddler wrangler & believe the crazy moments create the best pictures. You don't have to be a professional model to have a fun session that comes with gorgeous imagery. You, your partner, & your family only need to be yourselves, and with some direction from me, I promise you will receive your new favorite pictures.

I am beyond grateful for the incredible experience working with Bailey! Even as someone who isn’t personally comfortable in front of the camera, she made me feel completely at ease with her warmth, kindness, and professionalism. Not only is she fabulous behind the camera in capturing moments with such artistry, but she also brings a sense of joy and positivity to every session. Her uplifting energy made the entire process fun and relaxed, and the results make me smile so much to see the love she’s captured between my husband and I. Every photo is a beautiful testament to her talent, and I will always treasure the memories she has helped create. I truly can't recommend her enough—if you're looking for someone who’s not just skilled, but genuinely kind and wonderful to work with, she's the one!

At the end of the day, all we have are the stories told about us and the ones we write about ourselves. I love writing about the musings of life and sharing my thoughts with others in conversation and social media posts. I constantly document my own life so I don't forget the big or little moments. Every time I travel to somewhere new I love connecting with those who cross my path, and yet I love coming home to my dog. TLDR: sentimental soul, avid movie goer, mental health advocate, and decent chocolate chip cookie maker.

Rachael was our photographer for our September 2023 wedding. There is no question that she was the absolute best person we could have had for such a special day. From beginning to end Rach helped us plan and execute our vision. We were not using a wedding planner, so she helped us get a lot of details and timelines on track. She also made sure we had fun and were able to relax through the whole process. On our wedding day Rach showed up ready to go and excited for a fun day. She captured so many beautiful moments between our first look, moments with family, ceremony, and reception. She also gifted us a moment alone to talk and take in the day just the two of us - it was so special and intimate. I will always cherish the memories and details she captured for us. Rachael also did our engagement shoot a few months before the wedding and those photos are so incredibly breathtaking. Some people have such a talent and artistry in what they do and Rachael is one of those people. If you are looking for someone who will become your friend, make you feel beautiful, and most importantly capture these special moments in a way that brings back every emotion of life and love when you look back at the photos, we 10000% recommend Rachael.

Photography has always been my way of connecting with the world, but weddings hold a special place in my heart. There's something truly magical about experiencing every emotion of the day alongside the couple - the joy, the happy tears, the excitement, and even the quiet, heartfelt moments in between. Being entrusted to capture those emotions is an honor I don't take lightly. With each click of the shutter, I'm not just taking a photo - I'm preserving a piece of your story, one that you can cherish forever.

Lauren Ashlie Imagery provided amazing photography for our wedding day. Her communication was efficient, clear, and prompt throughout the entire process making it so easy to work with her. The quality of her work was incredible - the photos are so natural and detailed, capturing all the special moments beautifully. She also sent the sneak peak photos, along with the full portfolio, in a timely manner. Lauren was able to make me feel so relaxed and beautiful in front of the camera. I highly recommend Lauren Ashlie Imagery to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.

Hello! With over 12 years of experience behind the lens, my passion lies in capturing those truly priceless and unforgettable moments that hold immense significance in your life.

I am genuinely excited to collaborate with you, standing side by side, to bring your dream to life and create everlasting memories that will make your heart sing with happiness.

Talley made sure she guided us thru portraits as well as capturing special moments. On our wedding day I didn’t have the capacity to think about pics and Talley made sure we preserved our memories. Awesome job!
