Frankely Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,300
  • Serves Park Forest, IL for additional fees

Photography has been a lifelong passion for me and I truly found my happy place when I started photographing weddings. Capturing every relationship and everything that makes it unique and beautiful make my heart all warm and fuzzy. I am here for all of the silly laughs and intimate snuggles. I am always going to make those around me feel comfortable; this might be by making jokes at my own expense or it could be showing you photos as I take them to make sure you see what a freakin’ BABE you are.

Emily was amazing to work with. She is so friendly, easy to get along with, your biggest hype woman, so helpful, calm, informative and just awesome! we have nothing but good things to say about working with Emily! She made our vision come to life. She was so great at helping us pose through photos (something we were worried about since neither of us has really had professional photos done before) I would recommend her to anyone!

Working with Courtney was a dream! She was incredible to work with from the start with our engagement session all the way through to the wedding day and beyond. My husband and I are a little more on the shy/awkward side - especially when it comes to taking photos, but Courtney made us feel so comfortable and knew exactly what to have us to do to get some beautiful and fun shots :) Courtney was so fun and helpful throughout our special day and the questionnaires she sent us to fill out were so helpful for us to give her any heads up and set our day up for success. Our wedding day and timeline went off without a hitch and everyone has had wonderful things to say about our photo/video team and the sneak peek photos! Oh, she was also so patient with our chaotic pups who wanted to join in on some photo fun! We have zero regrets choosing Wild Opal and would recommend them to anyone and everyone!! :)

H1! I'm Laramie Renae, Owner and Photographer at Wandering Creative. I am a Wedding & Documentary Photographer, based in Memphis, TN. I am an avid documentarian, and I cannot wait to capture your day :)

Awarded Best of Zola
I had seen some of Laramie’s work on Instagram and was already in love with her more moody editing style right away. She also clearly captures people in ways that are specific to their personality and not the cookie cutter handful of poses you always see. So I was excited to work with her already, but when she disarmed so much of my bridal stress in our planning calls, I was even more confident in her. By the time we got to the actual day it was so easy to trust her and have her as the most natural person to be capturing those once in a lifetime moments - and we are not especially natural when a camera is in the room. All of our focused time with her was very comfortable and surprisingly really fun. We got to go enjoy things without feeling rushed. We just felt like our happiest selves. She was even awesome about flexing with the schedule when we failed to communicate family pictures times well. It was so clear her main focus was the integrity of capturing each moment for everything it had to offer. I couldn’t imagine any better choice for us. Laramie and Dylan were simply the best and 100% in our corner. I’ve loved dang every shot. Some of them she somehow made us look even cooler and more timeless than we are!

From the moment we booked Modern Day Lovers, the photographers were incredibly responsive and provided us with sneak peeks of our photos within days of our wedding. Dylan and his team were friendly professionals who made us feel at ease throughout the day.

  • Serves Park Forest, IL for additional fees

I’m Monica Cassell, and I’m on a mission to ensure your photos are really damn good. When you choose me as your photographer, you’re not just choosing another vendor who’ll punch in and punch out. Hell no. You’re choosing a comprehensive client experience. I prioritize spending time with you, getting to know you individually and as a couple, and serving you in this season through engagement photos, recommendations, and anything else you might need. By the time you run through the sparkler tunnel to your getaway car, we’ll be so close you might just ask me to come with you (JK, unless it’s Disneyworld).

The communication was great with Monica and Tyler. They let us know before hand what we were going to do and helped out a lot during photos with things that they didn’t have to help with. They gave great and fun vibes to us for our wedding and during wedding. They made us feel comfortable while doing photos and videos. I hired Monica and Tyler because of their professionalism and great work we seen online. We definitely would recommend them for a Wedding or a lifetime experience.

Andrea was one of the photographers recommended by our venue (Venue at the Grove) and we couldn’t be happier that we went with her. We knew we were in good hands at our engagement shoot, where she made us feel comfortable and was so fun to work with. I was so happy to see her on my wedding day because it felt like having another friend there with us on our day! Our photos (engagement and wedding) turned out beautiful and are the perfect way to look back on and remember our wedding.

Hi, I'm McKenna! The person behind the camera and a hopeless romantic. I describe my photography style as candid, romantic, and timeless. My goal is to make a human connection with all my clients and deliver images that you'll love forever. I started 1828 Collective in 2016 after I realized that capturing relationships and telling love stories was my passion. Four years later I'm so in love with my job that I often forget I'm working. I find joy in capturing love, hearing about how you met, and everything in between.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you have spent even just a few minutes checking out McKenna's work, it is obvious how good she is at getting her subjects comfortable! Creating images that are playful and honest. Well crafted and timeless. Intimate and irresistibly fun. But what you may not be able to see through the limitations of your computer screen, is how she exudes positivity, enthusiasm, and carries a genuine curiosity. Does this sound like someone who you would want at your wedding? I hope so. I have had the pleasure of working along side her while capturing video and I'd happily have her at every wedding taking the photos! Hire her to tell your story.

Milieu

The word ‘milieu’ defines how we want to capture your wedding: as whole of scenery. Any experience is the result of a series of moments and feeling of our interaction with others. Images can recreate those intangible elements more fully in our mind, allowing us to relive our emotional experience long after the day has ended.

Awarded Best of Zola
Salvatore was wonderful! He was very kind and professional. Before the wedding, he took the time to speak with us about our vision for the day and the shots we wanted. On the day of the wedding, he spent pretty much the entire day with us, and was even able to split his time between our ceremony and our reception. We got his photos right on time, and they were truly lovely, with a nice mix of posed and candid photographs, and beautiful lighting and focus throughout. Salvatore did everything we could have expected him to and more, and we are very glad that we went with Milieu for our wedding!

Kelsey Sheehan Photography was founded in 2019. I made the jump into being a professional photographer to follow my heart and work in a career path that I love! When I am not working you can find me baking with country or 90s/00s R&B blasting, sitting by the fire with my neighbors, doing yoga, kickboxing, jiu jitsu, or hiking with my family. Okay, and maybe binge watching Schitt's Creek, Gilmore Girls, or Grey's Anatomy for the hundredth time.

Awarded Best of Zola
I absolutely love Kelsey. From the moment I saw her portfolio, I knew I wanted her to capture the best day of my husband and I's life. She's such a sweetheart and a calming presence on a day that can be so chaotic. She did amazing with our engagement photos and we just got our sneak peeks from our wedding and I was screaming in the middle of a Sephora because I was so blown away with how amazing the photos turned out. Kelsey also helped create a timeline for our wedding day, helped keep us on time, kept offering help with all the wedding planning process, and she kept the day running so smoothly. Everyone at my wedding absolutely loved her, my bridal party couldn't stop talking about how amazing she was at the wedding and they're still absolutely blown away by the sneak peek pictures! Kelsey will forever be our photographer for every event and important moment in my husband and I's life!! 5/5 stars!!

Arielle shot my surprise engagement with my fiancé and she was amazing! She was so easy to communicate with during the lead up/planning process and even shared recommendations for the local Burlington area as we aren’t from there. The day of our engagement ran into some challenges with the Marathon taking place in Burlington that day, but Arielle was amazing even with the last minute changes! She helped us to take advantage of the empty streets and we couldn’t recommend her more!

I originally was not going to go the photographer route but when I changed my mind a week and a half out, Magnolia Pine was there for us. I am incredibly grateful and impressed by the level of effort Lauren put in with such little time to go. The day of the wedding she went out of her way to buy props that she thought fit our aesthetic and she exceeded anything I could have come up with on my own. She truly made us feel like the day was ours and that we were the guests of honor at our wedding and I can’t say enough great things. The pictures came back in less than 2 months which was the perfect time to go through and relieve the moments. We even received preview pictures early on to hold us over. If you want someone that will be able to fit the vibe you are looking for even with other pressures from guests, Lauren is your girl!

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!

If you want to relive your special moments for years to come then hire Dee and Cory. We hired them for our Park City wedding and engagement photos. They are soooo easy to get along with and they will keep shooting until they get the perfect shot. I was very impressed with their ability to create/manipulate the light they had to work with. The wedding photos are more than I could have ever asked for. We also hired Fernando for the videos of our wedding and he did outstanding! I didn't even realize how many detail shots they got of all the decorations, bride's dress, groom's tux, customized hangers/tumblers, getting ready photos, jewelry, etc. The first look pictures/videos put me back in the moment seeing my husband for the first time and our whole ceremony. So many people that see our photos and videos comment, "Wow that looked like a fun wedding and you can really feel the love". They captured the day from start to finish. I can go on and on about the quality work they do and their charming personality. Just HIRE them, you won't regret it!

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.

Speaking candidly, my (now) husband and I went into the photography search with our guard up as one of our best friends is a photography. But after searching around and a few rounds of communications I knew Rima would be the style and demeanor of a wedding day vendor we were searching for. From the beginning she was easy going yet extremely organized and on top of communication. When it came to the day of I don’t want to pick favorites but Rima was by far our favorite vendor. She truly helped add to the calmness of the day (minus one small incident but she helped keep the party in like and calm even then!) and her direction and help in posing and being loose showed in the final product. Would 10/10 use Rima again and hope to have the chance to recommend her to friends in the future.

Photography truly has a full grip on my soul– I love EVERYTHING about capturing special moments to be forever held in time! I consider my style to be way more candid, as I truly adore capturing an authentic experience that is almost tangible to the person viewing the photo. I want the viewer to feel the emotion and as if they were there with us right back in that moment. I love realness of a perfect candid shot…my goal—especially with couples—is to get to the heart of their connection and connect with my couples, as well, to truly make them feel comfortable in front of the lens so that we can get to those authentic magic shots!

We had the pleasure of working with MoonTide Media for our wedding photography/videography. Shannon and Ally were an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. Their communication throughout the planning process was fantastic - they consistently kept us updated on travel plans and made sure we were all on the same page regarding the photography timeline. Most importantly, the quality of their work is stunning. We recently received a preview of some of our photos and were brought to tears by the beautiful images capturing our special day. Shannon and Ally have a true talent for capturing emotional moments without ever getting in the way. They were the hardest working team at our venue, going above and beyond to get every possible shot we could have imagined. We felt so comfortable with them that they even grabbed some extra candids of our wedding party that we had asked for with no issues. If you're looking for amazing photographers/videographers who produce breathtaking images while also making you feel at ease and comfortable on your wedding day, look no further than MoonTide Media.
