RoGina Montgomery Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves River Forest, IL

With every wedding, I strive to create images that are both timeless and modern, capturing the essence of each couple's unique love story. My approach is candid and unobtrusive, allowing me to capture those genuine, heartfelt moments that often go unnoticed. I believe that a wedding is not just a celebration of a couple's love, but also a celebration of the love that surrounds them.

To start off I just want to say that RoGina, the owner of RoGina Montgomery Photography, was a dream photographer for my clients. Not only was RoGina prompt, professional and a great communicator, she went above and beyond to ensure my clients special day was everything they could imagine and more. RoGina offered many services and options for my clients and was very patient in the process. If you’re looking for excellent quality photography for your upcoming wedding or know someone who is planning a wedding, I highly recommend RoGina Montgomery Photography!

Hi there! I'm Sarah - owner and lead photographer at SMP!! I specialize in creative, soulful imagery that celebrates ALL humans . My style is very laid-back, down to earth, and I've been told that working with me feels like working with a friend. I prioritize making sure that all of my couples feel comfortable and confident in front of my lens! Working with me is very-experience driven. From start to finish, I want you to feel celebrated, comfortable, and like a million bucks!!

I cannot express enough gratitude for Sarah's incredible work as our wedding photographer. From start to finish, she exceeded all expectations and left us with memories that will last a lifetime. One of the most remarkable aspects of Sarah's photography is her energy. Throughout the entire day, she remained calm and composed, even as we were consistently behind schedule. As Type A people, my wife and I very much appreciated Sarah's ability to put us at ease and embrace the flow of the day. Sarah's talent shines through in every single photo she captured. Each image is a masterpiece, meticulously edited to perfection. The attention to detail and care she puts into her work is evident in the stunning results. We were blown away by the way she captured the essence of our special day. What sets Sarah apart is her ability to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. This was a crucial trait for us when selecting a photographer, and Sarah crushed it. Her friendly and confident demeanor created a relaxed atmosphere, allowing us to be ourselves and truly enjoy the day. It felt like spending time with a close friend who happened to be an incredibly talented photographer. Sarah's skills go beyond photography. She was basically our wedding planner all day as well. Her organizational skills and attention to detail reassured us that she had everything under control and we were exactly where we needed to be. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who not only captures breathtaking moments but also brings joy to your special day, look no further than Sarah. Her talent and energy make her the perfect choice. We are forever grateful for the memories she captured and the incredible experience she provided.

Alexis Mast Brown Photo

  • Serves River Forest, IL

Hey!! I'm Alexis I'm here to capture all the meaningful moments🪩 I capture it all - between the mix of posed, and candids I capture your day so you can relive it any time you want to! I have been a photographer for 5 years now and my favorite moment of a wedding is when you hit the dance floor and are surrounded by all your favorite people! I am a lover of love, disco balls, and Champagne towers! When im not capturing couples love I am spending time with my dog Brimley or finding new places. I cant wait to be your new hype girl and third wheel!

Alexis was great from the start! She traveled for us for our engagement pictures in Ludington and to Bay City for the wedding. She had virtual meetings with us a few times to get the feel for our style and what we wanted. She even helped me decide on our engagement picture outfits! She always had suggestions and was easy to get ahold of too. She was so sweet too. Day of our wedding she had ideas of how to pose us but also took many candid shots too. Our guests loved her and she stayed a little later to capture something we requested during dancing. HIGHLY RECOMMEND, she also gives sneak peaks right away, which we loved!!! Can’t wait to see the pictures fully done!

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,250
  • Serves River Forest, IL

Greetings! I’m Phil, a passionate and creative photographer based in the vibrant city of Chicago. With a lens as my canvas, I specialize in capturing the essence of moments that tell unique stories. From the picturesque lakeside to the heart of the city, I specialize in crafting timeless engagement and wedding photos that reflect the love and joy of couples saying, "will you marry me?" and "I do" in Chicago. Chicago’s skyline is a masterpiece, and I take pride in capturing its grandeur. My architectural photography brings out the unique character of each building, from historic landmarks to modern skyscrapers.

I had a amazing experience with Phil and his partner photographing my special day. Phil was very communicative through the process and scheduled time to review the shotlist to ensure all images we captured. I am more than happy with my wedding photos and I'd recommend him to anyone.

Alena Michelle Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Serves River Forest, IL

Nice to meet you, I’m Alena or lena, whatever you want to call me. My simple pleasures in life are rare plants, good coffee, and soft music (aka, lots of Bon Iver & Gregory Alan Isakov) More importantly, you guys, my clients. With photography being my full time job, I get to put every single ounce of my being into creating magical images for you to look back on for years to come. That’s really what I’m here for. So, let’s get coffee or a drink so I can get to know you and your partner, and create magic with you both.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have had Alena as our photographer since 2018! I had been recommended by a friend and had her for our engagement photos, wedding, the birth of our first born, his first birthday, and our second born! If that doesn’t speak for itself. Alena is incredibly talented, knowledgeable, and overall a great person, and friend. Her photos aren’t just any photos that you see. She puts time, and hardwork into her editing and it pays off. They’re moody, flirty, fun, intimate. She can do quite literally anything you ask for. No need to worry about being nervous about being in front of her camera, she knows how to pose you and talks to you the entire time. It feels like you’re hanging out with friends and it’s so so enjoyable!

  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves River Forest, IL

I’m Megan Thompson, and I am the gal behind the camera at Meganography! I’ve always had a passion for photography, ever since I was a wee little one! When I was approx. 4 years old, my Grandma would let me use her camera to take pictures of my dolls (lol)! I've owned Meganography since 2016, and I've been photographing love since 2017. As you can tell, I LOVE to travel! Please ask about my "wedding bucket list location" list, occasionally I offer discounts in those locations. I also am in love with any and all cats of the world, sunshine, wearing sweatpants/leggings, and Starbucks pink drinks! My goal is to capture your love in every image.

Megan and Dom were so excellent. They arrived and got to work! They went above and beyond to make sure our day went smoothly. I am in love with all the candid shots that were captured. I am so happy I found Megan on Facebook earlier this year. The communication was great; I knew exactly what to expect before, the day of, and after when waiting for the photos and video. I highly recommend Meganography to capture your special day.
