  • Photographer

  • Starts at $5,450
  • Serves Russell, IL

*****The best way to reach me is to fill out the inquiry form on my website!***** As a documentary-style photographer, I love to emphasize connection, texture, and authentic emotion. Being a former actor who found a deep love and passion for wedding photography, I'm most drawn to the art of storytelling while creating honest and original work. I strive to make my images fully represent my couples in every way possible. I'm goofy, fun, and always create a deep connection with my couples to ensure their big day is captured with passion + care.

We are so happy we chose to work with Madi for our wedding photos and was one of best decisions we made. We immediately liked her on the first call as she was just easy to talk to and really took an interest in learning about our story. We could tell she had amazing organization skills, and her photography was exactly what we were looking for when it came to our wedding. She was friendly and personable and provided easy communication. She was very flexible, tolerated our need to bring our dogs into both the wedding and the engagement photos, and made us comfortable during the photography process. At our wedding, she was on time, and SO on top of things that I really didn't need to worry about anything getting done. She was on it and coordinated everything so seamlessly. She not only is excellent in her photography skills, but helped so much in establishing our timeline and sorting out what was actually feasible for the day. We really appreciated her expertise. I fully trusted her in the process and knowing that definitely took stress off of us. The best part, is she is just an awesome human!! I highly recommend Madi for your wedding!!

Shawna with LotusFly Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding photography. Her communication style was organized, thoughtful, and attentive - she took detailed notes during our consultations and always followed up promptly. Most importantly, the quality of Shawna's work is fantastic, especially considering her very reasonable rates. She has a true talent for capturing emotional moments and telling the story of the day. On the wedding day itself, Shawna brought a sense of calm and kept everything running smoothly while also fading into the background. She implemented our discussed plans flawlessly and was highly professional yet so easy to work with. We could not be happier with how our photos turned out - Shawna beautifully documented all the special details and joyful memories of our wedding celebration.

We absolutely were floored by how well all photos turned out and will have these forever memories of our wedding day captured so beautifully.

LT² Photography did a great job at our wedding. LaDonna truly went above and beyond to make sure that we have beautiful memories of our day. I’m so grateful that she encouraged us to get prints and wall art for keepsakes and decor in our home. Since we put our picture on the wall our dining has never looked or felt better. It just feels more like us now. She communicates so well and helped us stay organized and even sent us a budget calculator to help us manage our wedding finances- we didn’t even know we needed a budget tool until we started using it. I wish we hadn’t opted out of their videography service, but she gave us a highlight video anyway! I can’t say enough good things - my husband and I are just so impressed and glad we chose to work with LT2 Photography for our wedding.

Hi there! I’m Anthony Hagen, and I’m excited to connect with you! At Wedding Love Film, wedding videography is my passion. With 18 years of experience, I love capturing the unique emotions and moments that make your big day special. Every couple has a unique story, and my mission is to bring that story to life. I take the time to get to know you, ensuring every film reflects your style and personality. From heartfelt vows to joyful celebrations, I’m here to preserve all the details. Let’s create something beautiful together that you’ll cherish forever! Feel free to reach out—I’d love to hear about your plans!

Anthony was easy to work with at the wedding. I was a DJ at the wedding I worked with him and from an artistic standpoint, what I saw of his work so far was great. Just like the rest of the vendors at this wedding, he went with the flow and went above and beyond to give the couple the best experience they could get especially under the crazy weather circumstances we had! Rain almost all day, thunderstorms, a tornado warning (it was an outdoor tent wedding) and some high winds that almost took out the tent! Despite that, he remained positive and fun. His needs from me were minimal (tapping into my sound system) and he made sure I wasn't busy when he asked me about it. If the rest of his work is as good as the little I've seen so far, you can't go wrong with his video service!

You deserve to enjoy every moment of your wedding day. After all the planning and anticipation, why settle for anything less? Too often, couples look back and regret feeling overly posed or awkward in their photos. My approach to wedding photography is authentic and intentional, blending documentary and editorial styles to create timeless images that tell your unique story. I believe in capturing real moments and genuine emotions, allowing you to experience your day to the fullest.

Thomas Doggett has been photographing me (Mckenna) since I was 13 years old, and every time he delivers phenomenal results! He did pet portraits with me and my horse, my senior graduation photos, my COVID backyard wedding and the larger reception later on, and every single event was absolutely magical. Thomas is easy and fun to work with, and brings a wonderful upbeat and creative attitude to every shoot. 10/10 would recommend!

Six years of taking bright, colorful, fun wedding photos in the city has taught me how to deliver a complete gallery of your day told in an artistic, meaningful, and unobtrusive way--because I'm here to document your day, not to direct it. As much as I love taking photos (it's truly my favorite thing in the world!), I believe your wedding is about celebrating all your people being in the same place at the same time + kicking back and enjoying while I make sure all those memories are on camera.

Alana did our engagement pictures on location in Joshua Tree. She’s super friendly and communicates very quickly and efficiently with her clients. She did an amazing job getting lots of natural candida and a fantastic job editing them! We got the pictures in a reasonable time frame, and are so happy to have these as memories.

I've been passionate about documenting and creating since I was a little girl running wild in the suburbs of St. Paul. I would steal my parent's film camera and take dozens (okay maybe hundreds) of blurry photos of our dog. In high school, I spent babysitting money on a polaroid and then finally my beloved point and shoot, which was my favorite accessory for a night out! I was gifted my first DSLR in my early twenties, and that changed the way I looked at the role photography played in my life. What was always a beloved hobby became my passion, and I've never been happier.

We were born from lessons learned by tackling the most important wedding to date; my own. A planner to my core, I never considered the need for assistance when planning and executing my wedding. And while I threw a truly great party, it came at the expense of me enjoying my own wedding. I took away from the experience the hard truth that just because I could, didn’t mean I should, and have turned that into something that I truly love; watching other couples bask in their moment, stress-free. We offer a variety of wedding and honeymoon services with the simple mission of creating beautiful, unique events that feel as good as they look.

Awarded Best of Zola
After some careful contemplating, I decided to hire a Day-of Coordinator for my wedding day. I was nervous to give up the reins after all of the pre-planning work I did. I'm (admittedly) a control freak and really wanted our big day to go as well as possible and stay within budget. It's also not easy for me to ask for help. A friend recommended Bisoux Event Co. to help me and Lisa was my Coordinator. She was kind, professional and handled many moving parts with aplomb and poise. After speaking with her for the first time, I knew she was exactly what I needed so I could relax, give my phone to my MOH and enjoy the day. When things had to change on the fly, (they will, they always do) she made audible decisions that were thoughtful and practical. If you are a control freak like me, do yourself a favor and hire Bisoux for your big day- You'll be grateful for the help!

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

I knew from the moment that I talked to Allie on the phone that she was gonna be a huge part of our day. She shot our engagment shoot & wedding day. Hiring Allie was one of the best investments for our big day. We had a very large outdoor backyard wedding that ended up being the rainiest & muddiest day ever. Allie, captured the day PERFECTLY. Her work is outstanding and she truly cares for her couples. Allie, I can't thank you enough and I am so glad for our friendship.

Hi! I’m Trevor, known professionally as DJ tH2o, and owner of tH2o Entertainment. I specialize in creating memorable moments on the dance floor! I’ve been fortunate enough to take my passion for music and make it my career for almost a decade. In that time, I’ve had the honor to produce and DJ countless weddings and events, both here and abroad, creating long lasting memories on each dance floor I’ve presided over. My goal is to bring your vision to life and provide a personalized experience while also providing exceptional service. Here’s some info outlining the reasons why you should hire me to curate the soundtrack to your next event!

Trevor and the team at tH2o have been in the business for a long time, working at many Chicago wedding venues and events spaces alike. Every time Trevor is at my venue The Joinery, it's a breeze on my end. I always know when Trevor is here, everything on the DJ's end is taken care of and that's one less thing I need to worry about on such a busy day. Communication is always upfront and clear, from the initial meetings to performing the day-of tasks - Trevor gets it handled. Once the dance floor is going it's his time to really shine and the dancing DOES NOT STOP! My favorite is when he live mixes with turntables, the guests go crazy for it! Booking DJ tH2o will be your best and easiest decision.

Pete with Pete's My DJ was an amazing DJ for our wedding! His communication throughout the planning process was great - he was very responsive, professional, and made sure he understood all the little details that were important to me. The quality of his work was fantastic. He perfectly executed my walk down the aisle song and timing, and knew how to keep the dance floor packed all night by playing the right mix of songs to appeal to all our guests. I gave Pete some special song requests that were meaningful to me and he seamlessly incorporated them while also reading the vibe of the crowd. He helped make our wedding reception such a fun, high-energy party! If you're looking for a DJ who will listen to your vision and work hard to bring the party, I highly recommend Pete!
