We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Dani Marie Photography! From the very beginning, she listened to our vision and truly understood the unique quirks that make our daughter and now son-in-law. Not only did she capture the essence of their relationship, but she also made sure to incorporate their children into the day, ensuring everyone felt included and special. Her kindness and attentiveness stood out. Throughout the entire day, she was with us, seamlessly blending into the flow of events while still making sure no moment went unnoticed. We felt completely at ease with her behind the lens, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about making our memories beautiful. If you're looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also patient, thoughtful, and dedicated to capturing the heart of your day, we highly recommend Dani Marie. She truly made our daughter's wedding day unforgettable!

Akiem has built a young and successful career as a content creator in the professional sports industry. He has worked with respectable brands including, USA Hockey, USA Soccer, NFL Flag, RISE and more. However, during 2020 COVID put a stop on sports, and that allowed him to discover a new passion- an undeniable love for wedding photography and videography “I want my clients to experience my love for creativity and storytelling through serving them on the most important day of their lives.”

Awarded Best of Zola
We were looking for a photographer on a short timeline- only a couple of weeks until the wedding. A'kiem was willing to work with us on the short timeline and was very fair with pricing! He was timely with his communication and was easy to get a hold of. He is talented in photographing in many different styles/vibes and catered the photos to the style we prefer. I would highly recommend working with him. We did not get to use his services for videography, but with the quality of photography he provided, I am sure his videography would also be fantastic. Highly recommend!

Iris Rose Photography

  • Starts at $1,050
  • Serves River Grove, IL for additional fees

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.

KNZ Photography

  • Serves River Grove, IL for additional fees

I’m McKenzie, a photographer who embraces my couples who desire physical visual memories of their connection at any level, so you can have the stages of your relationship captured to look back on and remember all of the little things that feel so big; the way they brush your hair out of your face or beam at how beautiful you are, or even the smallest thing like a hand on your thigh. All of these things help you feel exactly how you felt in that moment. If you are here, you desire a photo gallery that makes you feel something.

I originally was using KNZ to help build my modeling portfolio. She was able to shoot every request I have asked for snd even some that i never thought of! These photos landed me a few opportunities to do runway shows at Mall of Amercia and other venues. Shot with a couple brands and companies that loved my ideal image. Later on, I ended up launching a business and needed products photos to use. So I naturally came her and let me tell you. I've never been so amazed by someones suggestions and ideas turned into realitly! Ever since then. My brand has been selling off the shelf and has been hard to keep things in stock. Thank you KNZ and please keep doing the amazing work you have been doing.

I moved around a lot growing up and I can remember not always loving it. But now, truly grateful for how it's shaped me. My husband was the exact opposite. He had a hometown, graduated high school with childhood friends, knowing every street, and watching every change. I think that is part of the reason we were attracted to each other. One yearning for roots, and the other for branches. Finding them within each other. Finding in each other a home and an adventure. It is hard to remember who I was before him, and hard to imagine my life without him. When I think of him... I smile, I cry, I laugh. This is what makes me feel alive.

Burlap & Blossom LLC were absolutely amazing wedding photographers! From the moment we first spoke with Gabby, we knew we had found the perfect fit. Her communication style was amazing - she was so understanding, fun, and down to earth. Gabby went above and beyond on our wedding day, even offering to fix my dress when it ripped. She had such high energy and really helped ease any and all stress we were feeling. The quality of their work is beyond amazing, and we are so thankful to have her capture our special day. Gabby is truly a gem - she is so down to earth and great with communication, letting us know right away about any delays. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding photography experience!

She specializes in engagement shoots, boudoir, rehearsal dinner coverage, elopement, local and travel weddings, as well as day after portrait sessions. WES offers versatile packages & pricing; reach out and speak with Ashley about your needs.

Ashley and Wide Eyed Studios gave us something we couldn't find anywhere else. They were able to capture the totality of our destination wedding experience. On top of that Ashley and Rebecca were able to take the pressure off of couples portraits before the wedding by creating a unique, intimate, striking, outdoor day-after location shoot. This allowed us to enjoy the run up to our wedding with minimal disruptions and gave us a portrait shoot that exceeded our expectations. Having Wide Eyed Studios with us during our entire destination event helped us authentically capture all of the fun moments we had with our friends and family leading up to the wedding. They were able to capture so much more than I had expected, and we now have so much more to look back on with incredible photos. With all of the amazing imagery that was captured, the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception got even more love. The comfort level that was already gained with Ashley having been integrated with the group upleveled all of the content that was captured on wedding day. We are so thankful for all of the moments that were captured. Overall, the entire experience with Ashely and Wide Eyed Studios was so meaningful to us. They felt more a part of our celebration than a vendor we hired to support it. We couldn't have asked for anything more and the pictures we received still make us shake our heads with disbelief. Thank you, Ashley and Wide Eyed Studios for making our destination wedding the best it could possibly be.

With Kaity Campbell Events, you will have a truly luxurious customer experience from the moment you sign your contract all the way up to your event day, and even beyond. We believe that every wedding should be a reflection of your unique love story, and we are here to ensure that every detail is perfectly tailored to your desires. Our passion for creating unforgettable experiences, combined with our industry expertise, allows us to curate a seamless and stress-free wedding day that exceeds your expectations. Being able to create an event that is truly yours, and has all the elements you care about, is why I started doing what I do.

Kaity did a great job, especially considering all the uncertainty of bad weather (my ceremony was outdoors) we had to all deal with. She always had an upbeat and positive attitude the whole time, which I know can be very difficult to do around my family. She definitely would just roll with all the punches to keep us on track. I was anxious the entire day, but Kaity reassured me that she had everything under control and I knew I could trust her. She even went out of her way to get me and my husband little care packages on the day of, with inspiring notes. The only hiccups I actually noticed was with announcements and speeches, because the volume and echo was not great, so people didn't know when things were actually happening, so I wish we could've told the DJ sooner to fix the issue. We had also wanted to have our dinners boxed up, because my husband and I were both too anxious and excited to really eat, so our food ended up being thrown away, plus we didn't receive the top tier of our wedding cake to save for the tradition thing (but my guess is because they served it all to the guests). Unfortunately, at the end of the night, we were super rushed to get everything out of the building, because of the time and the pouring rain- I was running around barefoot in my dress while my husband was passed out in the car, and I was one of the few trying to get everything packed and cleaned up. However, Kaity and her husband really helped us out by collecting all the left items and holding onto them for us until the next day. She kept in contact, since at least a month beforehand, to make sure we had everything in order and sent her all the vendor contacts , so she could be included with all the day-of plans. She really did go above and beyond to make sure I had the best day possible, and I really appreciated that from her. I would definitely hire her again.

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!

Poplar Grove Floral was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very start, Sarah, the owner, was prompt in her communication, honest about any potential challenges, and completely transparent throughout the process. Her creativity and eye for color was evident in the beautiful floral arrangements she created for our ceremony and reception. When there was an issue with one of the suppliers, Sarah was upfront about it and provided us with several options to ensure the flowers were exactly what we envisioned. The end result was stunning - the flowers were fresh, vibrant, and perfectly complemented our wedding decor. Sarah's sweet demeanor and hard work truly made our vision come to life. We are so grateful to have worked with Poplar Grove Floral and highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding. She made a life-long client out of us!

Hi! I'm Chrissy. I've been lucky enough to photograph weddings and meet tons of awesome couples since 2014. I'm based in Boston, MA but I'm always more than happy to travel anywhere your adventure takes you. My work has brought me as far as Tokyo and I'm so ready to explore more new places! In my down time I love to surf, paint, go to concerts, and watch horror movies. I'm full of useless astrology facts and I always have extra snacks with me.

Chrissy is an absolutely amazing photographer. I’ve followed her work for years and knew as soon as we got engaged that Chrissy would be our photographer. During the process I stressed to Chrissy I just didn’t want the same traditional boring poses/portraits for either our engagement photos or wedding photos and she delivered! Granted, there were some exceptions for family photos of course, but overall exactly what we wanted. Chrissy made us feel extremely comfortable and I trusted her judgement on everything. She is easy to work with and really goes above and beyond to make sure that your day goes smoothly. Thank you so much for everything! You really helped capture the love and happiness on our wedding day!

Oh boy. Where do I begin? Katie is incredible. I knew from day one she was the perfect fit. She instantly made me feel heard and supported. Wedding planning can feel so isolating and overwhelming without the right people in your corner. Katie is your corner. She advocates for you and your partner every step of the way! She thought of things we never would have and even saved us money multiple times. She kept us grounded, reminding us what was important - us! At one point I remember asking her “Will you call me if this or that goes wrong?” and she replied with “No, I’m not. I am going to figure it out so you can be present with your family and friends.” She did everything perfectly, but this impressed me the most! She even scheduled a few times during our wedding where my husband and I had a few moments alone together. We appreciated this so much because it allowed us to slow down, be present, and catch our breath. My wedding was flawless and I owe it all to her! Thank you so much Katie! Please keep in touch!

I bought my first DSLR camera in 2004 when my now wife, Tracey, and I were taking a cruise to Alaska. For a monumental trip like this, I HAD to get an amazing camera. Those 8.2 megapixels with nine four points had me in LOVE. Ever since then, the ability of a photograph to be able to freeze time; freeze an emotion; freeze a memory has kept me addicted. Whether it’s getting a great angle, finding light that tells the story, or capturing the true personality of someone; it all brings a smile to my face and hopefully yours!

My name is Abby, a Midwest based wedding + boudoir photographer who's really obsessed with her job. I've gotten to see how directly photos can impact people. As we grow up, we realize how priceless photos are and how quality pictures become prized possessions. It's a moment in time you can forever look back on. It's easy to take pictures, but it's hard to capture moments. I'll love making magic with you, because everyone has some magic in them that deserves to be celebrated.

I was referred to Abby and I could not be more grateful for that! I knew she was the perfect person to capture our wedding day and needed to book her! She was easy-going, genuine, fun, and kind! She not only made us feel at ease to know she had our backs through the whole planning process but she made us feel like we had a friend who was rooting us on through it all! From the initial meeting, engagement photos, and to to our wedding day Abby was there for us and made sure that our day would be absolutely seamless and as fun as possible while capturing our stunning photos! On the wedding day, Abby was organized, punctual, and ready to go to capture our day from start to finish! She executed a perfect timeline and made sure everyone was ready and were they needed to be! An absolute rockstar for that! We received so many compliments on how wonderful Abby was from our guests! Abby is extremely talented at capturing the moments throughout the day! She knew we were not huge center of attention people. We wanted our photos to be captured in real time and those surrounding us! She did absolutely that! She captured all the love and happiness throughout the whole day! Each photo was absolutely stunning! For anyone looking for a photographer, I could not recommend Abby enough!

Calling all misfits, those deeply in love, the nerds, the don't give a flying f***, just authentically you! Behind the camera: I am cracking bad jokes & cramming myself into strange spaces to get the shot. Behind the editing screen: I am smiling, getting high off the emotion of the moment captured. No shame, it’s why I do what I do. I love love. But I guess that's why you are here right? My style: Authentic, timeless, classic & filmy nostalgia. I capture those in-between moments, the messy, the loud, the intimate & the joyful ugly cry. Then you can feel like vogue for every other moment to show the world the rockstars that you are.

Samantha did such an amazing job with our wedding photography. My wife hunted around for the perfect photographer for a few months, as the pictures were very important to her and she wanted to make sure she found the right person with the right style. From the first time we met Samantha in Detroit to do our engagement photos, we felt comfortable with her. She was professional, friendly, and helped us feel at ease during the process. Most importantly, she made it fun! She was an excellent communicator, flexible, and during our wedding, she did a truly amazing job of capturing all the most important moments. She did an excellent job helping us balance our time between everything and sneaking away for a short photo shoot, and made sure to capture us with all of our family, etc. The candid moments she captured were amazing. We shared the album Samantha sent us with our guests through our thank you cards, and we had a ton of people tell us the photos were amazing and asked who did our photos! We sent many people photos as gifts for Christmas this year. On top of all that, Samantha sent us this really sweet and very cool gift of a golden glass photo frame filled with pictures and an ornate wooden box filled with decorative moss with a slide-out plexiglass front with our names on it, and a matching usb drive with all of our photos. Our wedding was very woodsy, and the gift was very thoughtfully matching of the whole thing. Samantha, thank you for your time and energy in helping us make our wedding day so special, and for capturing it for us to remember for a lifetime. My wife and I absolutely recommend her to anyone with our highest regards. Take care!
