  • Serves Mendota, IL

As a wedding professional of 17+ years, I understand the importance of hiring a photographer you can trust. I've been photographing weddings since 2007 - I LOVE ALL things wedding! Watching your Mom zipping up your dress while she fights back tears, the first look with Dad as he sees his baby girl ready to walk down the isle... capturing all the little moments while you say "I do" is what I live for! I believe your wedding day is the start of your family legacy and it's meant to be captured and enjoyed for years to come.

We have worked with Shayla Loring Photography for several weddings and always love having her at our venue. Not only are her photographs gorgeous, but she does a great job keeping things on schedule.

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

My name is Elliot Stokes and I am a photographer located in the Madison, WI area, but I work all across Wisconsin and Illinois. I have been drawn to the camera since I was young, but becoming a father has really shown me the magic behind capturing the most candid and beautiful moments of our lives. I started my journey into professional photography officially in the summer of 2019 and received my Bachelors of Fine Arts degree with honors in Digital Photography in the spring of 2022. I absolutely love what I do and look forward to every new experience and opportunity this journey takes me on!

Elliot, our photographer for our wedding, was incredible to work with, fast and took amazing photos for us to remember our special day. We did not have much of a “plan” so his help was instrumental in organizing and initiating photo opportunities. We would %100 recommend him to anyone needing a photographer for an event. He has a drone that he uses to take stunning cinematic quality video

Forever Faithful Photography

  • Serves Mendota, IL

Capturing wedding days is my bliss. We may start as strangers but throughout the process, many couples consider me a friend and I take care of my friends. I set out to make sure that the day is captured exactly how you envisioned it. I won't over-edit, I have an eye for anticipating special moments before they happen and capture them with style.

Tiffany was amazing! She came to my house in the morning to take pictures of the girls, then went to where my fiancé was getting ready to take his pictures, and then met us at the venue. She was very punctual and friendly. Tiffany is SUPER easy to work with and her prices are very reasonable. The photos came out amazing! My fear was that the photos would be “over edited” since I have seen that before. However, Tiffany made my photos look very professional and captured my vision 100%! My wedding photos are high quality, natural looking photos which I love! If I could go back, I would not hesitate to use Tiffany again.

Ally was a rockstar from day one. She responded to my Zola inquiry promptly and we set up a phone conference for the same week. The call went smoothly because Ally is such a professional. She went over all the key information, even adding things I didn't even think of. I knew right away that this was not her first rodeo. We planned a second call closer to the date to review the photo order and any shots that I wanted. The day of our wedding, Ally was there ready and waiting. She got moments from our first step out of the car, all the way to my guests getting down on the dance floor. After the wedding, Ally checked in to give us an estimated time for photo turn around, and she delivered in less than two weeks! The photos came out beautifully and we were able to download all of our photos to keep. I can recommend Ally with confidence because she, without a doubt, is the best.

First off just like that, the day got a whole lot better now that you are here! But let’s get one thing straight: if you are here, I want you to feel free to be YOU! Being true to who you are makes this process a hell of a lot easier! This is a judgment-free free safe space, and I want you to be as comfortable as humanly possible! Now that’s out the way, I'm Jovan Kiah, specializing in wedding and portrait photography located somewhere in the cornfields of Indiana. But always prepared for a photography adventure, I’m already packed with a suitcase of snacks, my passport, & playlist that spans from Disney musicals to '90s R&B hits.

Jovan was absolutely amazing to work with. On our calls before the big day, she was always so happy and excited and answered all of our questions and it gave us such a sense of ease. I never once had to worry or stress about photos. Day of the wedding she completely killed it. She was still her happy self but was able to organize us and snap some amazing photos. She did a fantastic job of even catching the perfect small moments, some of which I didn’t even know she was capturing. The photos are all so naturally beautiful and I can’t even begin to describe how much we love them. They are clean and bright and show us, our personalities, and our people perfectly. 100% the best decision we made.

I've been capturing weddings since 2009. My style is classic/true to color and my approach is a mix of directive (for posed parts of the day) and candid. Overall, I blend into the background as much as possible when it's appropriate, capturing things as they happen and I help you create portraits with gentle direction and humor where necessary. It is your day. let’s work together to make your photos the best record of your memories they can be! I look forward to working with you!

Shawna was so amazing to work with! She traveled to be at our wedding and was still able to go check out our first look spot and the venue before coming to meet us for getting ready photos. She was so fun and easy to have around while we were getting ready, and then gave amazing direction during our first look and wedding party photos. My now husband and I rarely take pictures and definitely felt a little awkward posing, but she gave such great direction that we felt much more comfortable. We now have all the photos back and they are incredible!! She really managed to get pictures of everything we wanted, and our pre-ceremony pictures are truly magical. I cannot recommend Shawna enough!

Joanna gives direction well and again, is hilarious. Both communicate SO well and their passion for photography is inspiring. We felt more than comfortable with them along our entire journey!! Our photos are GORGEOUS and they truly captured the memories that we will remember forever. I must include a prime example of how in-tune these two are: I have a scar on my right arm that I am self conscious about and truthfully, it would have been a challenge for anyone to get around. However, our photos limited the number of times my scar was visible, if even at all. A truly unique touch that means so much. We will 100% be booking them to photograph all future events in our lives. I can't say enough about how incredible these two are. Worth every penny and then some!!!

Hi loves, I'm Sarah! I'm a destination wedding photographer and mother of two... CATS! I'm a big dreamer, romantic and creator, so you can only imagine how much I love what I do and sharing my passion with the couples I meet. I'm all about documenting authentic moments and getting to learn your love story. Because of how much I travel, I personally only take on a number of weddings per year as I'm very intentional with the work I do! If I'm not personally available, I have a team and they're amazing! So, if you love my style and don't mind working with my team the day of your wedding, the option is always there for you.

Sarah was a such a pleasure to work with! She's easy going and flowed well with our video team on the bride and groom's wedding day. Her photos are full of life and speak in authenticity in documented and candid moments. We would love to work with her again!

Hi! My name is Lydia and I'm a Nashville Wedding Photographer. While I'm based in Tennessee, I'm more than willing to travel well beyond that. My photography style is light, bright and true to life. My goal is to make you feel at ease in front of the camera and provide photos that you can cherish for the many years to come. We will always take traditional posed photos, but you can expect to receive lots of candid moments in your final gallery. Feel free to reach out and let me know more about you and your vision for your wedding day.

Lydia and her assistant Lanie photographed our wedding at my grandparent’s house. They were both prompt, friendly, professional, and they took the most BEAUTIFUL photos!! All of our guests enjoyed interacting with them, and I am seriously going to have a hard time narrowing down my top favorites because the photos are just fantastic. Lydia even delivered our gallery ahead of schedule! I highly recommend her :)

I'm Courtney! I care not only about providing you with sharp, authentic and colorful images on your wedding day, but helping you to be fully present on your wedding day so you remember all the big and little moments.

Courtney is everything you could want in a photographer. Photography was a top priority for my wedding and I'm so thankful I went with Expedition Joy. My photos are the exact "timeless, bright and airy (without being washed out)" that I dreamed of. She made us feel super comfortable, took feedback and let us request shots, quickly turned around our engagement session & wedding sneak peaks, and even let us sneak a shot back within 24 hours (insane!!!!). Photos are so important and you should book someone you can trust to give you the gift of those memories in the way you you want and envision them. Courtney did just that for us!! 10/10.

Elopements and Intimate weddings are more than just a way to get married. It's more time with you, your fiance, your closest friends or family (pets included). It's about the experiance and being able to pop champaign or have a private picnic together wherever. More importantly, it's about YOU. I help fun loving couples by bringing your vision of a wedding to life to create a stress free day you won't forget.

Tia is amazing! She did both our engagement pictures and our wedding pictures. Both turned out so great! We loved every singe picture. She was so great to work with. She helped us pick out the right time to do our engagement pictures so we’d get the best look (I’m hopeless when it comes to photography!) and she was so professional throughout our whole experience. And we even got a bonus we weren’t expecting on our wedding day! That was the icing on the cake for us! If you book with her you won’t be disappointed! Tia truly is a godsend!

During her time in college, she assisted and second shot for many wedding's and events. In 2014, Cassaundra moved to Arizona on a whim and began her own photography business. The desert and mountains ignited in her a new passion for photography. After a short stint in LA, Cassaundra now lives in Milwaukee with her eight-year-old daughter. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, martial arts, and doing art with her daughter.

My engagement shoot was INCREDIBLE thanks to Cassaundra's vision! We shot at a beautiful Malibu beach during the sunset and she was reassuring, creative, and communicative throughout the process. Our photos were such a hit with my family, that we used her for our wedding and my sister also enlisted her services for her civil ceremony. Cassaundra has become our family photographer!

Choosing to work with me earns you more than just a photographer; you get a hype-girl, a dress fluffer, a confidant and a new best friend. Since we are now future besties, here's what you should know about me: My love for portraiture stems from the joy it brings me to make others feel beautiful.

My strengths lie in natural lighting, illuminating colors, and catching the candid moments that make you, you.

There is not enough good things we can say about Sarah! From day 1, she had great communication before the proposal while deciding the perfect location and how we would meet up with her. She executed flawlessly and I never saw her until the ring was on my finger even though she followed us for a bit before the big moment. She made us feel so comfortable for the photoshoot after and was willing to go to a few different spots with us all while carrying all of our stuff so it wouldn’t be in our pockets for the pictures. We received the sneak peeks the next day and were blown away with how well they turned out, she nailed it!! She got the big “I do” moment which was most important and then captured so many other sweet moments right before and after that I will forever be so grateful we can relive because of her photos. The best thing about her is that you can feel the joy coming out of the screen when you look through her galleries. So many people have raved over how well our engagement photos turned out. Everyone should book Sarah, she is so great at what she does!!

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.

Throughout our wedding weekend she really felt like family. She laughed, cried and celebrated with us. Diana is so talented and passionate about her work and trust me it shows!

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.

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.

Amanda is the best photographer I’ve ever known! She did a spectacular job with my daughter’s wedding photos. She was able to put all of us at ease while she was getting us into the poses that look so natural and so beautiful. Amanda is a talented and creative photographer that has a knack for finding the beauty in everything! Michael was able to take pieces of video throughout the day that was then transformed into an absolutely stunning video for my daughter and her new husband! Every time I see the video now I cry with joy! This team is so professional and they are great communicators that they can take a sometimes stressful situation and make it fun! When you find a professional that does an excellent job, you always want to use them again. I will be using Salt Ivy photography for all my photo and video needs and will recommend them to anyone and everyone!

Could Jahni be any more amazing?!

Jahni did a couples session with us in 2020 and our wedding in 2022 after being delayed (twice) due to the pandemic. She was so flexible and easy to work with during pandemic times and we couldn't have appreciated that more! She made our wedding day so relaxed, fun, and captured all the moments that we wanted to remember. Honestly, she was one of my favorite parts of our wedding day and I will recommend her to everyone I know!

We’re Kristyn and Jon! We’ve been together since 2014 and got married in 2019 with an epic disaster of a wedding! We planned it so carefully and thought of every detail so we could give our guests the ultimate experience (being wedding pros and all) and ended up with a monsoon that caused our tent to start collapsing! In the end, nothing went as planned except that we did what we set out to do- marry each other! While we can’t control the weather on your day, we can make it an amazing, fun-filled experience and be able to tell your story in the most authentic way possible, creating a work of art with your memories at the center of it.

We've worked with Blush a few times and they are amazing! They get proofs back on time, and their final results are stunning. They are on time, professional, and easy to work with. I would highly recommend them for all of your photography and videography needs!

In a nutshell - I am your giddy third wheel! I’ll travel anywhere for a great love story, I believe photography should be FUN, and that it should feel like an adventure because really, it’s just us, going on a little adventure together! This is also a no pressure situation! You don’t have to know “how to pose” — this isn’t about posing at all! This is 100% about us 3 out and about together, having fun, laughing a ton, and me giving you guys prompts and direction all in the effort of eliciting a natural reaction!

I can't recommend Elizabeth Ladean Photography enough!! I've had the opportunity to work together personally and professionally many times over the years. She truly is the best in the business!! She is extremely talented as a photographer and has a knack for making you feel comfortable and at ease. She is responsive, organized, and proactive. I've worked with many wedding professionals; she has always stood out in the way she runs her business! When you work with Elizabeth you'll get gorgeous, timeless photos but also a memorable experience!! Highly recommend!!!
