Salvatore (Milieu) made our wedding day even more special than we could have expected. We LOVED his beautiful and creative ways of capturing our most special moments (if you look at his portfolio, you will know exactly what I mean). He is so very kind, professional, and made us so comfortable. He was so accommodating and helped us come up with a way to get all of the photos we wanted within the time frame we had to work with. I can go on and on about how much we loved working with Salvatore! He is truly a 1 of a kind find and we HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend him!

Tara Beth Photography 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Oakland, IL for additional fees

Tara Beth Photography is a place of inclusion, empathy, intimacy, and care. From the first email, I take care with my clients. Considering them all unique, and with that, their stories being unique. We talk about how you want to be captured, how your love should be captured. We go over insecurities, love stories, and anything else that may come up during our Zoom calls. I don't want to be just someone you hire. I want to be considered someone you trust, and enjoy to have around!

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Tara Beth for our wedding in December 2022. We started following her instagram years prior and fell in love with how she captured every moment, from the guests to the couple. Not only were her photos amazing, but being a part of the LGBTQ community can feel daunting at times when reaching out to vendors, specifically for same-sex weddings. We had a few tough experiences with other vendors in regards to being a same-sex couple, but Tara Beth, as she is a part of the community, made it easy to feel comfortable and accepting. We contacted her and were met with a quick response. From the start, we knew she was the one. Her vibe and passion for love sold us! My wife and I were very nervous to take photos, but Tara Beth reassured us that she would walk us through everything - and she did just that. She talked us through our first look and it was an amazing experience. She also guided our party and family photos, which was super helpful as we were able to get our photos done ahead of schedule! We appreciate everything Tara Beth did for our special day and would recommend her 100 times over!

Dylan exceeded our expectations from the second we booked him! Communication was so easy, I texted him a lot with random questions and he was always able to answer them and respond quickly. He took every crazy idea I had for photos and ran with them. He was willing to drive out to Kansas City for our engagement shoot which was a huge plus for us! Him and Becca did so much on our wedding night, I could never thank them enough. If I had a million more weddings, I'd book Dylan every time.

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.

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!

I’m Erika and I am a self-taught photographer, hiker enthusiast, travel lover and proud dog mama! I started my photography journey at 18 years old. I always loved art, but I never thought this newfound love would lead me down an exciting path where I get to do what I love for a living. Thanks to the trust that my clients put in me, I get to do what I do best — and that’s create.

Erika is wonderful! We are both shy and she made us feel comfortable the entire time, she has the craziest most creative ideas for her pictures and she doesn’t care if she has to go in the woods to get the perfect shot. We highly recommend Light Sky Photography and we will definitely hire Erika again ❤️ Like

I cannot recommend Amanda/Salt Ivy Photography enough. When choosing a photographer for our wedding and for our post-wedding mountaintop shoot (instead of an engagement photoshoot), we wanted a photographer who had a unique artistic vision who produced dynamic and emotional shots. We wanted photography that really stood out and was not the run of the mill wedding photography. Most of all, we wanted photography that captured the authentic emotional connection we have and the incredible energy of our big day. When I saw Amanda's work, I knew she was the one. Not only was her work absolutely STUNNING, but she was incredible to work with. We had to change our wedding date 3 total times due to Covid... and even moved it out of state halfway through... Amanda was always flexible, understanding, accommodating and encouraging. The day of the wedding she was calm, loving, fun, and her energy really made the day even more special. Our post-wedding hike/photoshoot the next day was one of the most enjoyable parts of our entire wedding experience. Amanda is not only a phenomenal photographer and artist, but an even better human. 10000000000000/10 recommend.

  • Serves Oakland, 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!

Classic meets contemporary and vibrant. Although I do all types of shoots, I specialize in wedding photography and all the beauty it has to offer. I prioritize in capturing the essential moments of your wedding to give you cherished memories to look back on for a lifetime.

When we had an unexpected change to our plans for our wedding just a couple weeks before our big day, I found Michaela and she was a saving grace! She was very professional, took in a few of the things that I really wanted to capture and took them to a new level, and ultimately photographed our wedding better than I could have imagined. She was extremely reasonable in price. I am definitely booking her again when we get pictures done.

Hey, how cool of you to give me a few minutes of your time. I am not here to bore you with a bunch of flowery language or over-the-top promises. I love to document real moments. Weddings, elopements, couples' shenanigans - you name it, I am here for it. I do this with a healthy dose of humor, a dash of sarcasm and a whole lot of heart. So if you're looking for someone to capture your story in all its imperfect glory, say something, let's make it happen.

We cannot say enough positive things about Sweet Lime Photography! Loy was an absolute pleasure to work with. He suggested ideas that he felt would look great as well as listened to what we wanted to capture.

Hi friend! Grace here. I’m from a small town in south-central PA, where I was raised on the great outdoors, drive-in movies, & board games. My husband is my best friend & we have an adorable toddler keeping us on our toes! We're all about Jesus, our people, traveling, coffee shops & our two Aussies. I’m a big advocate of seeing new places, deep talks under the stars & being near the mountains any chance I can get. I believe that marriage begins with a promise & a lifetime of memories follow after that. My clients are my friends & I feel privileged to begin this adventure with you!

I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. She was sooo easy to work with. Her visions aligned with mine, she was efficient and so sweet. I truly trusted her with everything in me and she did not disappoint! She traveled across the country for us and was a 10/10 human being and professional photographer. You need her!!

The photographer was kind, communicative, creative and made it fun! Even though we spent extra time trying to find an open space and it was a bit cold, she made my family feel so comfortable. I loved the photos and can’t wait to book her again!

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.

Jessica is a joy to have a part of any wedding! Her work is beautiful and she captures the love and emotions of her couples' biggest day. From the beginning of the planning process, until the photos arrive in your inbox, she always puts the couples' needs and wants as her priority. Her organization, professionalism, and calming composure are exactly what couples need out of their photographer!

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

Cecilia captured our wedding day at Brighton Resort in the mountains. She was so personable and really got to know my fiance and I. She listened to what we wanted and delivered plus so much more! She was even dancing on the dance floor to drum up excitement and capture our friends' energy. I would book her again 10 times over! Best decision!
