We couldn't be happier with Ozan Ulucan Photography and highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

Mary Rose was a wonderful photographer! She captured our wedding perfectly and was very creative and scoped out some really cool spots to take photos (we had a destination wedding in NC and she had never been before). Everyone always comments on what amazing photos we have from our wedding. And since then we’ve used her for maternity shots and newborn sessions and anything else we want pictures for! You will always be thankful you used her to capture your most special days!

Hey there! I'm Arianna. I started Rare Raven Studio (previously McCormick Design and Photography) back around 2013. I had grown up around cameras and always loved whatever I could get my hands on. Film, digital, video, you name it. It wasn't until I had my daughter that I really started taking anything seriously though. All of the sudden, I had a reason to stay consistent in my documentation. The rest is pretty much history. A few of my favorite things: Darth Vader, the Space Jam soundtrack, traveling, DC comics, Mac & Cheese, chicken marsala, more cheese, serial killer and mythology podcasts, and allll the doggos!

Ari keeps you filled in all along the way providing you with everything you need. Her photos are AMAZING and she makes you feel so comfortable and relaxed through it all. Our wedding party was 18 people so you can only imagine the chaos of controlling all those people. She manage to do this and keep everyone in their place! She even picked up a couple sessions for my nieces engagement phones in the spare time she had of my wedding. I 100% recommend using her! She even loves to travel!

Rebecca Shehorn Photography

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,700
  • Serves River Grove, IL

This past year marked 10 years since I shot my first wedding. I’ve met so many wonderful couples which grew into lasting friendship, and photographed some amazing events. Capturing candid moments, posing beautiful portraits, bringing out personalities and making weddings fun and relaxed are hugely important to me! Beyond just capturing the day, I help every client with their timeline from the day we first chat, to pre-planning meetings, and the wedding day itself. My favorite clients are the ones that are down to earth and want to enjoy the organic moments of their wedding day.

I have always been a fan of Rebecca's photography work, but having her shoot my own wedding truly made me realize how talented she was at her craft. When you look at her portfolio of work you can tell that she is an amazing photographer. The way she captures natural light is probably what sticks out to everyone, myself included. What really surprised me about Rebecca was how she was able to make everyone feel comfortable, most people hate to have their picture taken because they immediately think about their flaws and imperfections, but Rebecca has both a calming and commanding presence behind the lens of her camera. She makes you feel comfortable with who you are and brings out the beauty in everyone (while at the same time calmly instructing you to put your hands in your pocket or not make your elbow look so weird). Another thing that blew me away was that she seemed to find time to capture small intimate unseen moments in the chaos that is a wedding. This was especially important in present COVID times. Most of our friends and families couldn't attend our ceremony, which only increased the importance of having Rebecca there to capture our day. Rebecca was able to capture all of the details of our wedding, big and small, and that made everyone who couldn't be there with us feel as if they truly got to experience the day with us. I really cant thank Rebecca enough for the everlasting memories of the happiest day of my life. I wouldn't recommend anyone else!

Featured on Today show and Wedding Day Magazine. I believe everyone deserves to have life's biggest moments captured on camera. But photos turn into heirlooms when the moments are documented in a way that feels absolutely authentically you. No forced emotions, no fake smiles, and certainly no awkward prom-pic poses. Whether you’re dressed to the nines on the day of your wedding or, the dirty white dress that spent more time on the dance floor than the altar let’s capture the authentic you and have a damn good time doing it.

Mary was such an incredible photographer and person to work with for our wedding!! We are not too comfortable in front of the camera and she did such a fantastic job helping us and coaching us so our pictures were the best they could be. The day of the wedding she went above and beyond to make sure it was special and memorable and I cannot rave about her enough. We love Mary!!!

Hi! I'm Kayla - a traveling Milwaukee wedding photographer - and I'm going to make you cry. Wait, what? Don't worry, not in a bad way. Most of my couples say they cry when receiving their wedding photos from me for the first time. Five, ten, fifty years down the road when you open your wedding album, bet I'll get you again. You'll still be surrounded by your loved ones - remembering the happy tears and laughing until your belly hurts - just as you did on your wedding day.

We are so beyond thankful that we went with Kayla to photograph our wedding. Throughout our engagement shoot and the wedding day- watching her work is truly incredible. She is a master and finding little moments that bring absolute magic to her photos. Never did we feel like we were doing cheesy poses on our wedding day, and the photos reflect that. We have been looking through our sneak peek pictures obsessively because they instantly bring us back to our wedding day. Throughout which, Kayla was the calm amid the chaos. She was so focused on helping us stay on time and navigating us from one task to the next. It was such a comfort knowing that she had our backs and was ensuring that we got all of the big (and small) moments we had discussed leading up to the day. We can’t wait to see the rest of our photos. We know that choosing her as our photographer was one of absolute best decisions for our entire process - from engagement to wedding day. If her pictures haven’t already convinced you- let this be your sign! You want this one.

Jason "Snorlax" Cun is an all around photographer that currently resides in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in the heart of Los Angeles, where he found his calling in photography. He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.

Tress N Glow was a great service provider for my wedding! They matched me with a makeup artist, Sumayyah, that was able to give me exactly the look I wanted (Indian bridal meets Sabrina Carpenter).

Best decision EVER! Every single important moment of my wedding day was captured, even moments I didn't even realize were being filmed or moments I didn't think I needed! She never missed a beat and was so professional and amazing! The time, effort, and passion she puts into her work is something most people dream of, but me, my husband, and our families witnessed it firsthand, and it's so beautiful and comforting (especially on a stressful day like a wedding)! My guests LOVED her because she was so considerate of them as well, making sure she wasn't blocking their view if she could help it, and just being kind and interacting with them throughout the entire day! Months before my wedding, she was prompt, professional, communicative, and laid out everything as far as what we should expect before, during, and after our wedding. I am so so glad we went with Jazmin and Jayzie Kaye Wedding Films!! I don't plan on getting married again lol, but working with her is an experience I would repeat if I could!

I'm Erin. I'm a photographer, traveler, and wide-eyed wonderer. I split my time between the Midwest and my bungalow near the beach in Oceanside, CA. My favorite pastimes include exploring Disneyland, watching Schitts Creek & Ted Lasso, and cuddling my dog. I have a loud laugh. I love cabernet franc, chocolate chip cookies, and I'm on a constant search for the best tacos in the world.

Working with Erin and her team was awesome! They’re so friendly and don’t miss a thing! It’s a real pleasure to work with vendors who make you feel like a priority and are so easy-going. Erin is amazing and we highly recommend her.

Julie from Riddle Road Photography became a lifelong friend through photographing our wedding. She is amazing and willing to hike into a state park for beautiful photos (sorry Julie!) Everything she does captures the true couple versus a completely staged moment. I loved every photo she sent to us.

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 and her team were great to work with, east and fun! Just what we would hope for on our big day! The photos turned out beautiful. We liked how she listened to our ideas and cared about what we liked.

I believe that every picture I take and give you should be frame-worthy. Give me beautiful light and good vibes and I'm set to go! Looking forward to hearing your story, getting to know You better and creating memories for you! If you are looking for a fine art wedding photographer in Chicago I would love to hear from you!

We can’t say enough amazing things about Bozena! From the moment we booked her, she was incredibly communicative and so helpful in planning our wedding timeline. We’re pretty awkward in front of the camera, but Bozena gave us perfect direction and made us feel so comfortable. Our wedding and engagement pictures turned out beautifully, and we were beyond thrilled with how fast she delivered our wedding photos! We honestly had the best experience and couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. Bozena was our favorite vendor by far, and we’d choose her again in a heartbeat!

Hi, I'm Louie and I am a Chicago-based photographer. I love working with fun, creative couples who desire an fun, artistic capture of their wedding day! With the experience of photographing over 400 weddings, what sets us apart from the "other" studios is our focus on intimate and mid-size weddings and their personal feel. We would be honored to capture the unique story of your special day. Our style is fun, creative, and tailored to each couple's individual touch. Each couple is unique and so is their story.

We booked with Louis to photograph our wedding before we even got engaged. It was the first thing we did because we loved his style and the packages/price. Let me tell you we were blown away with this talent and friendliness. At both our engagement session and our wedding we had a lot of fun taking pictures because Louis made it fun. What could be hours of silence besides some photo cues, turned into good conversations and even better pictures. His partner Gabby was phenomenal as well, they made a great team. They work very fast as our wedding was 12/16 and we already have our sneak peeks and our photos will be done in a few weeks! They sneak peeks are absolutely stunning I cannot wait to see the rest. If you’re considering booking with two 2 tango, DO IT! They captured our wedding perfectly. It looks like a movie. Couldn't be happier with our choice of photographer.

If you’re after a husband-and-wife wedding photography team who’s just as excited about your wedding day as you are, we’re here for you. We bring loads of personality and passion, capturing every joyful, genuine moment perfectly. You want more than just great photos—you want to feel totally at ease with your photographers. We’ll get to know your story, your friends, and family to create a wedding experience that’s unforgettable. With us, your wedding day’s story will be beautifully showcased in photos that you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

If you need the most amazing photographers for your wedding... please, book this duo. Brett & Joanna are an incredible husband wife team. Brett is hilarious and so easy to get along with. Joanna gives direction well and again, is hilarious. Both communicate SO well and their passion for photography is inspiring. We felt more than comfortable with them along our entire journey!! Our photos are GORGEOUS and they truly captured the memories that we will remember forever. I must include a prime example of how in-tune these two are: I have a scar on my right arm that I am self conscious about and truthfully, it would have been a challenge for anyone to get around. However, our photos limited the number of times my scar was visible, if even at all. A truly unique touch that means so much. We will 100% be booking them to photograph all future events in our lives. I can't say enough about how incredible these two are. Worth every penny and then some!!!
