Haile Wilson Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first conversation, they demonstrated an efficient, trustworthy, and reliable communication style that put us at ease. Their work is truly jaw-dropping, with crisp, cinematic quality that captured every special moment of our day. Haile made my bride feel like the most beautiful woman in the world - which she's always been to me, but for everyone else and herself to see it through his lens made it that much more special. He never made things overly complicated or caused us to feel uneasy in front of the camera. We couldn't be happier with the memories Haile Wilson Photography has given us.

I am Renae, the creator and photographer of City Savvy Imaging. Based in Chicago, I started Weddings in 2009. I have an undergraduate degree in photography and fine art from Illinois State University. I also have a Masters in Elementary Education. Photography has always been my passion. I took my first photography class in high school when dark rooms were still utilized. I continued my education in photography through college where I began photographing in digital as well as film. Fine art was a large part of my studies which plays a major roll in my photography as it enhances my use of color, light, composition and space.

Renae at City Savvy Imaging was amazing to work with for our wedding. She is incredibly talented and had great suggestions for unique portrait locations. Photos were the most important element for our day and we wanted to work with a photographer who had extensive knowledge of the city. Renae is a master with lighting and knows how to make you comfortable in front of the camera. She is incredibly organized and helped ensure that our timeline stayed on track for the day.

We are Caitlin and Dejan (pronounced Dayin), we met each other in high school and we’ve been together ever since (time flies when you’re having fun!). Photography is something that we both have always had a passion for, and it wasn’t until we started to plan our own wedding that we realized we wanted to turn our passion into a career. Aside from photography, we love to spend time with our two dogs, Stella and Blaire. They are Australian Shepherds with HUGE personalities, and they are a big part of our lives. We are excited to start this journey and we can’t wait to become friends with you during it!

Awarded Best of Zola
Katie and Dejan are incredible - do yourself a favor, and book them ASAP! From our very first phone call, I instantly felt comfortable with both of them, and could tell that working together would be relaxed and fun, which was exactly what we were looking for. I could tell as soon as we met them for our engagement shoot that we made the right choice. My husband and I are both deeply awkward in front of the camera, which usually makes us very unphotogenic. Katie and Dejan helped us feel comfortable, gave us all the cues we needed to get cute poses, and we had such a great session! It was so nice being able to meet them both and work with them prior to wedding day. On the wedding day, Katie and Dejan were INCREDIBLE. They kept us on schedule, and (when we inevitably got behind because the bridal party was running late in hair and makeup), they stayed calm and collected, got us back on schedule, and never once made me feel rushed or stressed. They even got us some absolutely breathtaking preview photos literally the next day! I could not be happier with choosing Caitlin Davis photography - would highly recommend them for your wedding, engagement, or any special event! They are the absolute best!

We pride ourselves on using our brains and our gear to not just take pictures, but to tell stories.

Providing those happy and emotional memories for my clients is one of my favorite parts of wedding photography. I pride myself on offering my couples a creative, high-touch, seamless wedding photography experience from start to finish. I look forward to meeting you and your partner!

I have worked with Melissa in various capacities and could not recommend her enough! We first connected when I was looking to get new branding photos for my business and she did a beautiful job capturing everything I needed and wanted, and making the shoot fun. Shortly after, she also photographed a Mastermind event I hosted for me and my attendees to get details, decoration, as well as headshots and fun group shots. As a photographer myself, I have also hired Melissa to shoot me with for multiple weddings and associate shoot for a few photoshoots as well.

She helped me with the planning, pep talk, and captured all the sweet moments with pure authenticity. We ended up booking her again for our engagement shoot as well. Chloe and Josh work together to capture all the angles, provide helpful direction, and make it fun! We love the Sheldons and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.
