Hello! We are a husband and wife company. We have covered over 1000 weddings in less than 5 years all across the USA, Canada, and Mexico. We love to travel so much that we keep our prices affordable- giving us the opportunity to cover all over the USA (no travel fees). Our most popular package is our Red Carpet which gives our clients up to 10 hours of photo and video coverage, 505+ edits, and 2 wedding videos (with the whole ceremony). Check out our FB or Youtube for HUNDREDS of weddings we shot in the past.

We were so impressed by 505 media and their quick responses and quality of photo/video they took! From the initial phases of planning, they were quick to respond and eager to help in the planning process of making sure timelines were manageable. They were able to capture all of the milestones during the day and were even willing to hop on our party bus when we wanted footage of the wedding party driving around! We were so impressed by how quick the photos were delivered! We received a text while on our honeymoon the week after our wedding that our edited photos were done and one week later we received all our pictures! You don’t hear that often from photography companies! We also watched our wedding video trailer today (which was delivered in less than 2 months from our wedding) and can’t stop watching it! I would recommend 505 media to anyone!!

  • Serves Merrillville, IN

I've been a photographer for almost 6 years - almost 3 years FULL TIME! As a kid/teen, concerts were (and still are) my home. I was gifted a point and shoot camera for Christmas one year and to remember the moment, I'd bring it to every concert I went to. Eventually, I'd bring it to every sleepover and event. Snapping photos has always been important to me. I'm sure 12 year old me would absolutely LOSE it if she knew this would be the start of something amazing. 6 years in - 75+ weddings of all sizes and hundreds of love stories documented and no signs of stopping anytime soon.

Megan went above and beyond for my wedding! Even when little details would change for the wedding, she was always willing to accommodate and made everything seem effortless! She is such a down to earth, genuine person and she made my husband Eddie and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I loved when she would hype me up after she took an amazing shot! She made me feel beautiful in all of my wedding pictures, and my husband and I will always use her as our photographer!

Kay Warner Photography 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Merrillville, IN

I document love for a living, and what drives me is capturing authenticity in the moments that I am privileged to become a part of with my clients. I've been photographing weddings for over a decade. I know how to make you look good, and how to take away the "overwhelmed" fake vibe most couples feel and replace it with meaningful photos in 1/250 of a second.

Kay was referred to me by two different brides. I had seen their wedding pictures posted and reached out immediately. The turnaround time for receiving our photos took TWO WEEKS. I know brides that didn’t get their photos back for months. It was so special to be able to see them so quickly after our wedding. Especially considering the exceptional quality and attention to detail in each image. The final edits were flawless, and the photographer managed to enhance the natural beauty. I got every single photo I had put on my shot-list. But what stood out most was when we noticed that we didn’t get a picture of my parents alone and I asked her if we ever took one. She offered to photoshop a picture of them together and the final result was unbelievable. You would have never known they were not standing next to each other. My parents could not be happier with it. I wholeheartedly recommend Kay to anyone in need of capturing their special day. Their talent, professionalism, and commitment to delivering outstanding results make them a top choice. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

Hello Rose Photography

Hi there! I'm Emily Rose, behind Hello Rose Photography. I have been shooting weddings for a decade and love connecting with my clients as much as I love photographing them! They feel like close friends by the end of the day. I am documentary-style, in that I never stop shooting. While I help with posing during portrait sessions to make sure you look your best, I also love capturing the laughter of guests, the teary-eyed parents, the flower girl running up to you and hugging you at first sight, the tiny details, the smirk you share with your spouse at the altar and the quiet, intimate moments between you two throughout the day.

Emily is an amazing, talented photographer and she did so much to make our wedding day special. As soon as we received our “sneak peek” and full set of photos, people couldn’t stop asking us who our photographer was — she’s that good. We also did an engagement shoot with her about a month before our wedding, which was wonderful. Perhaps most important, Emily is just a truly kind, thoughtful, warm person. We cannot recommend Emily highly enough!

Please visit my website + fill out the contact form for more information + to receive a Wedding Guide! I absolutely love capture those in between moments with my combination or posed and candid style in photography. I also aim to help my couples as much as I can during the planning process by providing any vendor suggestions they may need as well as creating a timeline to allow the day to flow more smoothly.

There is so many things I can say about my wonderful experience with my photo shoot! Due to COVID my husband and I just got married at the court house and all I wanted were some beautiful photographs. I found Brenda through a random search on Instagram and I fell in love with her work. I’m so lucky that I found her. From the moment I contacted Brenda she was SO informative. I was impressed at her location guide with SO many places not too far from me. When I met Brenda in person at the photo shoot she was so sweet and passionate about how and where to pose us. Her personality is great! My husband prefers to speak Spanish so I was happy that Brenda was able to explain how to pose us in Spanish. I highly recommended Brenda for any photo shoot you want to have and I will definitely be booking her for future events.

We are experts in photojournalism, offering couples an unmatched level of value for their wedding photography and video services.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Eivan’s for our wedding was a great decision! Our photographer Gregory I was professional and FUN! He kept us smiling throughout the day with his quirky personality! My fiancé does not care for photos so I’m happy we had someone working with us who could make him comfortable. He made sure to get multiple images even if it was just “one more”, it was never one more! We had actually hired a different photographer and we replaced him with this company. Worth the stress and money! If I had any tips for the company, it would be to have your photographers give a 30 minute warning before their contracted time is up. Weddings are so busy for the bride and groom, it is very easy to lose track of time. I think clients would appreciate a little heads up just so they can try and capture any photos they may have missed. Other than that, I have ZERO complaints. Such an amazing experience! 10/10 highly recommend :)

Pedro was awesome! We were looking for a local (in Chicago) photographer, and found the perfect one. He was super easy to work with, and took amazing pictures.

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

From the very beginning of planning my surprise proposal to my girlfriend, working with Grace was an absolute pleasure. She was not only receptive to my ideas but also shared her own equally creative suggestions. Grace's professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding. What truly made the experience special was how she made the entire photoshoot feel like a fun activity for us as a couple. Her creativity shone through as she guided us through various poses that felt incredibly natural. Grace's ability to put us at ease made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. One more remarkable detail was her dedication to research, ensuring we had perfect sunrise photos. It was evident that she went the extra mile to time everything perfectly. What stood out the most, though, was her unique talent for capturing the emotion and joy of the moment. I can't thank her enough for creating such a magical and unforgettable memory for us!

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!

Abby wasn’t able to travel to my wedding but she sent her assistants and she edited the photos. It went absolutely perfect. The photos were beautiful and I got so many meaningful photos with my family and his family that I wouldn’t have thought to get. I sent her draft of a timeline and the photographers printed it out and had it to make sure the photos I wanted got done. They were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much to Abby and her team.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

We had a wonderful experience with Pierro, he was so easy to work with and kept the experience fun and relaxed. Loved his ideas for memorable photos and his ability to capture the best moments! His guidance was super helpful and we were able to get all the shots we wanted plus a lot of amazing candid shots! He worked with us every step and made sure we had fun with it. He was also very understanding about our limited budget and worked resourcefully and creatively. We were originally supposed to have an outdoor wedding but it rained so we had to move it indoors. We were disappointed because we loved the outdoor space at the venue, but Pierro found ways to get beautiful shots inside. He also managed to get some incredible shots outside despite the weather! Overall, it was an amazing time and we are so happy that we went with Pierro. Would definitely recommend his services!

Dani not only helped us find our elopement spot in Colorado but she was so helpful in structuring our plans. We had our air bnb for a week and she had flowers and photos placed in there to make us feel at home. It was so sweet. She had a changing tent for me to change into after we hiked to our elopement spot. After we were married we ran around the mountains taking photos and we felt so happy and comfortable! The icing on the cake, the photos turned out AMAZING!!!! She is stuck with us forever as our photographer! Hire her!!!

I was that kid enchanted by Disney Princess movies and the idea of "true love". My true love revealed itself through photography. At 8, I grabbed my dad's camera and was hooked, thrilled to show people my world. I started with zoo animals, friends, and siblings, eager to freeze moments in time. As I grew, I learned from local photographers and knew by 17 that photography was my calling. Since then, I’ve captured love in all its forms: couples, new parents, best friends, and the joy of seeing your favorite band live. The world is full of magical firsts, and I'm honored to capture these moments forever.

We’ve known Kaitlyn for a while and were so honored to have her capture our wedding events! She was there for the proposal, engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner, and the wedding day! Kaitlyn is so fun to be around and so incredibly talented! We really appreciated her “fly on the wall” approach so we could just enjoy ourselves and live in the moment without having to worry about posing. Looking forward to having her capture many more of our milestones in the future :)

I like to say you get two professionals for the price of one. I try to offer quality at a reasonable cost. I know photography can be daunting for some people and my goal is always to put people at ease.
