Your wedding is about you and all the amazing people there to celebrate. While I can take some Instagram-worthy portraits, I spend the majority of my time at weddings capturing all the little moments going on throughout the busy day. I want to capture the wedding in a way so when you get the images, you relive the story and feel how it felt.

On the big day, she helped with all the little details while capturing beautiful, colorful photos that we will treasure forever. Erin made us feel comfortable and special throughout the process. Thank you, Erin!

We were looking for a photographer on a short timeline- only a couple of weeks until the wedding. A'kiem was willing to work with us on the short timeline and was very fair with pricing! He was timely with his communication and was easy to get a hold of. He is talented in photographing in many different styles/vibes and catered the photos to the style we prefer. I would highly recommend working with him. We did not get to use his services for videography, but with the quality of photography he provided, I am sure his videography would also be fantastic. Highly recommend!

Iris Rose Photography

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $925
  • Serves Melrose Park, IL for additional fees

Hi there! I’m Sara, the creative force behind Iris Rose. As a child, I loved to create - it was my favorite thing. Through years of navigating life’s challenges, I drifted away from my creative roots. In 2020, I picked up a camera and photography brought me back to that creative space, allowing me to capture something both beautiful and meaningful and I fell in love. When I’m being creative, I feel like my best self.

Sarah is one of the most talented photographers I have ever worked with. She photographed our December wedding at Sanctuary Cove. Sarah's skillset is exceptionally versatile. We had a small intimate ceremony held indoors in the small Chapel, followed by photos outside in the sanctuary grounds surrounded by the Saguaro National Park. Her ability to capture the intimacy and closeness of every moment and emotion in each of these settings went above and beyond anything we could have expected. Beyond her skill, Sarah is a joy to work with and she demonstrates her passion for her craft in the energy and kindness she brings to her clients. We would 100% recommend Iris Rose Photography and can't wait to work with her again in the future!

I'm originally from East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania but I've lived all over the country and have finally landed in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn. My personal hobbies include rock climbing, learning French, fine-tuning my espresso skills, and drinking the best wine I can get my hands on (yes, if you're getting married at a winery, I'm interested!). I've been photographing weddings since 2009 (that's 15 years!) and I'm still not even the least bit bored. Hell, I still cry at weddings on a regular basis. Staying emotional and in the moment is what allows me to capture the moments that matter most to my couples.

Where do I even begin…. We cannot recommend Jules enough. She got herself all the way to New Hampshire/Vermont for us and not only did she take amazing photos but was totally up for hiking a mountain with us. She is so incredibly talented and so easy going. I have looked back at my photos so many times at this point just to feel the memories again. We are both so awkward and goofy, and she was able to transform that into some of the most beautiful photos I’ve ever seen. She is the hardest worker and is so passionate about what she does. Do yourself a favor and book Jules for whatever the occasion might be! You will not regret it!

  • Serves Melrose Park, IL for additional fees

With Kaity Campbell Events, you will have a truly luxurious customer experience from the moment you sign your contract all the way up to your event day, and even beyond. We believe that every wedding should be a reflection of your unique love story, and we are here to ensure that every detail is perfectly tailored to your desires. Our passion for creating unforgettable experiences, combined with our industry expertise, allows us to curate a seamless and stress-free wedding day that exceeds your expectations. Being able to create an event that is truly yours, and has all the elements you care about, is why I started doing what I do.

Kaity did a great job, especially considering all the uncertainty of bad weather (my ceremony was outdoors) we had to all deal with. She always had an upbeat and positive attitude the whole time, which I know can be very difficult to do around my family. She definitely would just roll with all the punches to keep us on track. I was anxious the entire day, but Kaity reassured me that she had everything under control and I knew I could trust her. She even went out of her way to get me and my husband little care packages on the day of, with inspiring notes. The only hiccups I actually noticed was with announcements and speeches, because the volume and echo was not great, so people didn't know when things were actually happening, so I wish we could've told the DJ sooner to fix the issue. We had also wanted to have our dinners boxed up, because my husband and I were both too anxious and excited to really eat, so our food ended up being thrown away, plus we didn't receive the top tier of our wedding cake to save for the tradition thing (but my guess is because they served it all to the guests). Unfortunately, at the end of the night, we were super rushed to get everything out of the building, because of the time and the pouring rain- I was running around barefoot in my dress while my husband was passed out in the car, and I was one of the few trying to get everything packed and cleaned up. However, Kaity and her husband really helped us out by collecting all the left items and holding onto them for us until the next day. She kept in contact, since at least a month beforehand, to make sure we had everything in order and sent her all the vendor contacts , so she could be included with all the day-of plans. She really did go above and beyond to make sure I had the best day possible, and I really appreciated that from her. I would definitely hire her again.

The quality of the photos and video is just astounding that it was way better than I had expected. I was looking for a certain vibe and they fit the bill. Some things to note: 1. They respond in a timely manner. Well-organized. 2. Very sweet couple who will make you feel very special during your special day. 3. Outgoing personalities that’ll help you feel more comfortable being in front of the camera. 4. Again, the QUALITY of the photos and videos. I can’t stress this enough. They go above and beyond.

Hey!! Congratulations and I'm so excited you're here! My name's Lissa (pronounced "Lyss-uh") and photographs are my jam! Also my jam? Bright colors, the lamest jokes, floral everything, weird history, and awesome ghost stories. I'm a total mother hen / perpetual big sister and I'm mom to Max, Henry, and Penelope. I love creating. I garden. I sew. I crochet. I design ridiculously cute tee shirts. But most of all? I freaking love creating photographs. A professional photographer since 2011 (eek!), my photographs are bright, happy, and totally meant to hit you in the feels. But most of all? They're a total party!

It was such a pleasure having Lissa as the photographer for our wedding. She has taken several photos for me and my family throughout the years, and each time the photos have always been exactly what we wanted. Her photos are vibrant, full of color, and full of feeling. Lissa was sure to respond quickly to contracts, questions, and provided information in a timely manner. She listened to our desires and concerns, and when needed she provided feedback that helped us feel more comfortable and excited to work with her. She is incredibly easy to work with her. She was flexible with any photo requests that came up in the moment, and she guided and directed us for other shots she felt would turn out well when we weren't sure what to do next. She was professional and courteous to all of our wedding guests and yet always made sure to prioritize our (the bride and groom) desires and time as opposed to the rest of our wedding party. She had a happy, yet focused disposition while working with us. That focus was evident in the BEAUTIFUL pictures she took. She perfectly captured our joy that day. Turnaround time was better than expected, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We have no regrets with our choice of wedding photographer. She's amazing!

There's something authentic, warm, and alive about acoustic finger style guitar. I'll never forget the first time I photographed a wedding where Jim played. His smile was as infectious as the music. Since then I've gotten to know more about Jim's solo guitar work as well as the Jasmine + Perona duo where he's accompanied by his (soon to be) wife on vocals. Give them an audition and bring some authenticity to your event.

I found LH Bridal on Instagram and through the grace of everything good in the universe. I had had two really horrible experiences with MUAs and trials prior to talking and meeting with Lauren and her team, and I was feeling very hopeless at this point. But let me tell you, her and her team made my day and my wedding. I felt so beautiful and cared for thanks to them and I can only say good things about them. I had a large group, 9 of each service and they powered through the day with a smile and great attitudes. My girls looked and felt great and it really was thanks to you all. Thank you for making our day and please future brides, do yourself the biggest favor and book with them, I promise you won’t regret it.

Beginning my journey in the world of filmmaking, I initially delved into the realms of music videos and commercials, honing my craft in storytelling and visual artistry. However, it was a serendipitous opportunity to work as a cameraman at a wedding that unveiled my true passion. Now, with 9 years under my belt and hundreds of weddings captured, my love for crafting heartfelt wedding photographs continues to grow, reaching couples across the nation.

George was amazing! From start to finish, he made the whole process easy and fun. His team was super friendly and captured all the special moments beautifully. The photos are stunning! I highly recommend hiring them. You won't be disappointed!

I moved around a lot growing up and I can remember not always loving it. But now, truly grateful for how it's shaped me. My husband was the exact opposite. He had a hometown, graduated high school with childhood friends, knowing every street, and watching every change. I think that is part of the reason we were attracted to each other. One yearning for roots, and the other for branches. Finding them within each other. Finding in each other a home and an adventure. It is hard to remember who I was before him, and hard to imagine my life without him. When I think of him... I smile, I cry, I laugh. This is what makes me feel alive.

Gabby is an absolute joy to work with! We hired her to shoot our wedding in 2016 and continue to use her yearly for our family photos because we loved working with her so much. What I loved about the wedding photos Gabby’s took is how she captures emotion. She is skilled at capturing the best moments both candid and posed and doesn’t over rotate on editing. She is able to make the pictures look natural.

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!

As a fellow wedding photographer, I've worked with Chris on multiple wedding days and he is just all-around awesome. He truly cares about each couple, and works hard to create a great wedding day experience. Chris is professional, easy to work with, and fun to be around. He knows his equipment inside and out and provides exceptional photography work. I can't recommend him enough!

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!

Hello, I’m so glad you’re here! My name is Will & capturing the humanity of moments is what fuels me. The hugs you can feel, the soft touches, the tears falling, the never ending smiles, the moments between mom & dad - those are the ones I want to capture! More of what it FEELS like not just what it looks like. Telling stories has always been my favorite, but words tend to get lost or forgotten so I tell them the best way I know how - through photographs!

As newbies to the whole couple photography process, my husband and I were a bit nervous, but Will made the experience easy, fun, and inspiring for us! And most importantly, we loved how these photos turned out. The gallery they were delivered through was easy to use and share! Due to the COVID travel restrictions, many family and friends couldn’t join us. These photos helped capture the special moments and tell the story for us in a much more vivid way! Thanks again Will! xoxo
