Pontiac, IL
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,400

Born and raised in Joliet, IL. but now based in Pontiac, IL my husband and I love to travel all around the state and also out of it. Since I was a kid I've always loved photography and always had a camera I could get my hands on ready. It mostly consisted of my older sister's old cameras but I would make it work. Iโ€™ve been photographing weddings professionally since 2017. I like being the friend in the background taking pictures of you while you take it all in. That's the feeling I like to give my clients, posed and candid pictures.

โ€œAilani and her team has done my work photos for my company threw out the years. Even tho she usually just does weddings she has done fantastic work for mt self and other friends weddings. I highly recommend.โ€

WELCOME! I'M LISA. And I am so glad you found my online home! Thereโ€™s something magical about the sparkle in a manโ€™s eye as he says โ€œI doโ€ to his bride. Thereโ€™s something wondrous about the warmth of your husbandโ€™s comforting embrace after a long day at work. And thereโ€™s something simply delightful about the mischievous grin on a toddlerโ€™s face as they burst into laughter, telling their momma the best joke ever. (Spoiler alert: it'd probably be a bit inappropriate for the dinner table!)

Awarded Best of Zola
โ€œLisa went above and beyond anything I've heard a photographer do and became a friend. Planning a wedding during a pandemic can be stressful but Lisa made sure it was the most beautiful and special day. She is very responsive, detailed and caring. My husband is not one for pictures, but she made him feel comfortable. Lisa not only captured our small wedding ceremony in 2020 but also our reception in 2021. The pictures are absolutely stunning and perfect!! She was so well organized and kept everything running smoothly. I never had to worry or stress about the picture aspect of my wedding and could not be more thankful. I highly recommend Lisa.โ€

Hi there! I'm Stefan, a wedding and portrait photographer based in Central Illinois. I've been capturing special moments through my lens for the past 9 years, and I can't imagine doing anything else. Photography has always been my passion, but it wasn't until I started shooting weddings and portraits that I truly found my calling. There's something incredibly special about being able to document life's most important moments - the laughter, the tears, the joy, and the love.

Since 2008, Iโ€™ve found myself as a professional photographer who strives to capture life, in all of its twists + turns, candidly. In addition to taking pictures, I am: the owner of The Made Fest, a handmade + vintage festival; in love with my husband; a co-founder of Smile Politely, a Champaign-Urbana local culture magazine and The Pygmalion Festival; a master gardener; an epicurean; and a mother. I am a feminist and a LGBTIAQ ally.

โ€œI can't recommend Justine enough, from her professionalism, to her artistry she is a dream to work with. As a photographer myself, I am nervous, awkward, and admittedly particular about having photos of myself taken. With Justine at the help myself, my partner and all of our guests were at ease and the images she captured fully represent the vibrant and loving nature of our ceremony and celebration. Thank you Justine for being exactly who you are and doing what you do so beautifully. You have captured for us moments we will cherish forever.โ€

  • Serves Pontiac, IL

As an experienced wedding photographer who has photographed over 150 weddings in ten states, I've come to love joyful, adventurous couples who adore their friends and family. My couples tend to care most about genuine emotion and tender moments of the day and having timeless, classic, happy photos that will stand the test of time. They can't wait to have a stunning album full of the story of their wedding day to look at for years to come and share with generations. They see the wedding as the start of a beautiful marriage and care more about their marriage than making their wedding a production.

โ€œShe was professional but fun โ€“ and completely unobtrusive, yet she was right there for every important moment and seemed to capture everything!โ€

โ€œWe decided to elope after months of planning a destination wedding. Chloe was flexible, on-board, and supportive regardless of which direction we chose to go with the day. I swear, her confidenceโ€”from the first point of contact through that beautiful September day we wedโ€”got us through it all. She knew just how to make us feel comfortable and in our element.

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

โ€œI had the best experience with OLAS! From engagement photos to the wedding, Graham was our photographer and he was excellent! He is super quick and officiant. We wanted to make sure we would have ample time with our guests at our wedding and not waste too much time on photos and Graham made that happen. He was so quick it almost didn't seem like I was even ready for the photo to be taken, but sure enough when my sneak peaks came back, they were all breath taking and amazing, I can't even choose one. He knows what he is doing, the right lighting, the right camera settings, and captures the most special moments that we will forever cherish and relive through for the rest of our lives. The entire entourage, including the videographer was also so amazing, friendly, funny, and engaging. Thank you OLAS for capturing the best day of our lives!โ€

โ€œPedro 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. Our initial meeting was via Zoom, which made working it around our schedule super easy. He was extremely responsive to all of my emails, and even was workable with our budget and what we wanted to accomplish with photography. I love his ability to take un-staged, in the moment photos as well as great family photos. He went above and beyond for us, and we are grateful for so many amazing photos to choose from. I would definitely hire him again in a heartbeat.โ€

Hi! Iโ€™m Connie! First of all congrats!๐Ÿพ โœจThank you for visiting my profile and considering me as your photographer! I am so excited for your big day! Here are some things you might wanna know! Iโ€™m not typical photog- I donโ€™t just arrive on your day, leave after few hours, and deliver few months later! Iโ€™m there for all the moments leading to the big day! You can hit me up any time- we can brainstorm all the ideas, timelines, all the tiniest details! I am a fan of Pinterest vision boards, sending each other tons of messages and be open about EVERYTHING! This is your day! Letโ€™s make it all about YOU!

โ€œWhen I tell you that my friends and family all commented on how breath taking our photos were, I am not exaggerating! My (now) husband and I had the best experience working with Connie. From our initial conversations, I knew she was the right photographer for us. She is super warm, creative, professional, and responsive. I let her know my vision and brainstormed ideas, and the end product was truly remarkable. My husband and I were both nervous that we would be awkward and stiff but Connie guided us through all the poses and we truly had so much fun.

Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. Iโ€™ve had photos taken of me that I didnโ€™t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving and laughing. Iโ€™m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please donโ€™t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What Iโ€™m saying is, I got you!

Awarded Best of Zola
โ€œLacie captured moments that took my breath away. Her style and skill is every brideโ€™s dream. She delivers everything you adore from those Pinterest and Instagram wedding photos. So there is no question she can deliver what she is looking for. And we are beyond thrilled with all of our photos. The sneak peeks are also so much fun (she sends a batch of photos shortly after she shoots you). But where Lacie shines and what I have to tell you about is everything else. She truly went above and beyond. Sheโ€™s not just a photographer, sheโ€™ll be one of your favorite people on your special day. Yes, Lacie is kind and friendly and comforting and just the kind of person you need on your wedding day (and who you wished you roomed with in college). But she is so much more. Here are just some of the few meaningful things Lacie did that I noticed that Iโ€™ll forever carry with me. Firstly, I had a very important rosary I wanted to photograph, and with the chaos, I had forgotten. It would have broken my heart if I left it behind. Lacie remembered. I got fixated on an insignificant hiccup on my wedding day that could have ruined my day. Lacie redirected my attention to the things that really mattered and brightened up my mood immediately. Leading up to the wedding, Lacie advocated for me and my husband ensuring us she was fully dedicated to only us on the day, literally saying โ€œYou and Sean are my priority.โ€ Nobody and nothing would take her attention away from us. She was always quick to respond to texts, I could go to her for quick wedding advice, and sheโ€™s genuinely so passionate about her craft. Lacie could really be a wedding planner with how much she knows. Other vendors loved working with her, especially our videographers. She was so quick, efficient, and took initiative. She gave them space and skillfully took turns capturing moments with them. With a big wedding party and spacious venue, we kept losing track of people for pictures, Lacie corralled them masterfully. Sheโ€™s not afraid to get people to focus and get the photos done, but also in the most polite and respectful way. I watched videos of brides saying I wish this or that moment was captured. Sometimes Iโ€™d forget whether I had those moments captured myself. Then I go to Lacieโ€™s photos and every single thing that brides mentioned got missed by their photographer she captured for me. Her vibe! Sheโ€™s so positive and cheery. I was so nervous and also worried about how dark my church was. She got me excited about it after turning it into a positive saying it would look like the theater and she could absolutely work with it. I texted her a shoot list the night before our wedding. She carried that around and took it so seriously making sure she captured everything I listed. I made a Pinterest board of photos I liked and she remembered ones I forgot I included in there. She was my favorite vendor (tied with my incredible florist @dazyflorals) and the vendor I had no worries about it. I didnโ€™t have to check in with her. I could trust her with my eyes closed. Sheโ€™d be where she needed to be on time, professional, and prepared. Iโ€™m going to miss her. Sign her and soak up her sunshine for me, will ya?โ€

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer Iโ€™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.

โ€œFrom 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!โ€

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 couldnโ€™t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dadโ€™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!

Hi, Iโ€™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.

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.

During the reception, we barely noticed their presence, yet every time we looked up they were there recording everything. It was so nice to know that your special day was captured from start to finish, without feeling overwhelming. We appreciated Hannah and Emily's directions for all the photos. The production team was great as well. Very responsive and easy to communicate. They make the entire process clear and concise, which is appreciated when the wedding planning process and day off can feel overwhelming. Our wedding was not even 2 weeks ago and we already received our video trailer, as well as some sneak peek pictures from Hannah via Dropbox. Hannah also did our engagement shoot and it was fun and easy. We loved how our pictures came out and are so eager to see the rest. Thank you Bonie!โ€

As a documentary-style photographer, I truly believe that the essence of life is captured in the unscripted, candid moments that often go unnoticed-- Each click of my camera is more than just a snapshot; itโ€™s an opportunity to freeze time and preserve the love, joy, and uniqueness of your moments for generations to come.

โ€œMy newly minted husband and I were over the moon from the initial contact with Anna Elisabeth. She is an excellent listener with a superb sense of capturing our wishes in her photographs. We had an unusual experience in that we wanted to capture both of our faith traditions on different days and different geographical areas in the same state. Anna Elisabeth professionally and respectfully photographically savored these traditions beautifully with her photographic gift. She was present and her presence was professionally and discretely demonstrated. Her keen sense of recording precious moments was one of storybooks.. from having the pictures of the bride's mother place, her once veil (when the mother was married 57 years ago) to having the groom's mother putting a family heirloom bracelet on to capturing the special wink given by the groom when he first saw the bride walking down the aisle with her father. All these moments were special at the time and Anna Elisabeth captured them beautifully and discretely. Communication is very important to us, and Anna Elisabeth was professional, prompt and demonstrated honest integrity throughout the entire process. We are providing her a 5 star rating but she is off the charts and anyone who uses her will understand why she should be rated a 10!โ€
