〰 As a heads up - we are so stinkin' excited to meet ya! But we're not active on Zola. We'd love for you to reach out on our website though! 〰 Chicago based professional wedding and destination photographers for the lovers' who thrive in friendship. Now booking 2025 & 2025 photography and videography services. We're Nicole Kilday & Ashley Bowling, the owners & lead photographers behind My Whole Heart Collective. We met in 2020 and instantly became fast friends through our passion of photography & human connection. Sharing a combined 9+ years of experience in the wedding & professional photography industries!

Working with Ashley and Nicole at My Whole Heart Collective was an absolute pleasure! They made the overwhelming and exciting experience of being a bride enjoyable. They walked me through a proper timeline which for me was a necessary step I needed in creating the smooth transitions throughout the day. They explained the flow that made sense but never pressured me to make decisions I didn’t want to rather giving me more information as they expert opinion. The sneaks they released to us have been phenomenal! The whole bridal party & our family are blown away by everything we have seen! One our friends wants their contact number as he was so impressed! We will definitely use them again in the future to capture other large milestones in our lives. I would highly recommend booking with My Whole Heart Collective!

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Rutland, IL

We would love to hear all about your proposal and how your wedding planning is going so far. Our goal is to create visually stunning photos that are compelling and dramatic! We want you to have artwork that you can post, pin and hang on your walls. We also love making emotionally-moving videos so that you can relive how you felt on Your Wedding Day years later, so be sure to ask about our brand new VIDEO-TOGRAPHY hybrid packages to get the best of both worlds (at pretty much the same cost as just photos). Text or DM us so we can collab on custom pics!

I am excited and confident to recommend Shana Rae May photo + video to wedding couples. I have been a floral designer for over forty years., and have worked with may photographers at weddings and receptions. Shana stands out in the crowd as being an amazing photographer who is very passionate about what she does. She captures gorgeous expressions and stunning results. Her work is on trend and creative. It will be worth your time to look at her photo samples and inquire about any details you may be interested in knowing. Shana will work with you and will make you feel extremely comfortable in the process.

KAS Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Rutland, IL

I love being able to capture those endearing, authentic laughs, and just “in the moment” moments. I believe photos are a timeless way to relive that special moment. Memories are one of the most beautiful things we as humans have, so why not have that memory frozen in time where you can physically see it!

Awarded Best of Zola
Karla did my business promo shoot, in which was a very spontaneous decision on my behalf.. being that I am pretty awkward and do not really enjoy “modeling”. I was super awkward the whole shoot but Karla made me feel very comfortable and made me laugh the whole time. It honestly didn’t even feel unnatural at all as she captured my most genuine moments. She really helped me with “easing up” since I tend to get stiff and just as awkward as can be. She was extremely professional, friendly, funny, caring and patient! She managed to capture my best angles in which surprised me because my whole life I always get pictures taken of me and my lovely best friend AKA my double chin. I would highly suggest her to anyone looking for a photographer for any and every occasion possible. She comes off as a friend and not a stranger at all, which is why I’m looking forward to booking any future shoots I plan to take and she will also be the only person I am confident in recommending to others! SHE IS THE BEST.

Alena Michelle Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Serves Rutland, 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!

Megan Pontus Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Rutland, IL for additional fees

I started Megan Pontius Photography after I graduated Highschool in 2021. I didn't really get into couples photography until I got married in 2022. It wasn't until then that I really saw the different seasons in a relationship. Between the first date, to the 100th date, to getting engaged, stress of wedding planning, to the wedding day, and the days after that taking on life together. I'm here to make sure those moments are documented for you to look back on years later.

Megan is a wonderful photographer! If your looking for a sign to get your photos with her here it is! Do it! She is amazing, and always makes me, and my boyfriend Brandon laugh and feel comfortable. We are getting out couples pictures with her for a fourth time this July! That's how much we love her work! She will definitely be doing our wedding pictures as well! Thank you Megan for all you have done for us! We love having you as our photographer!

Classic meets contemporary and vibrant. Although I do all types of shoots, I specialize in wedding photography and all the beauty it has to offer. I prioritize in capturing the essential moments of your wedding to give you cherished memories to look back on for a lifetime.

There are many things I can say about Michaela and 3leafphotography but the most important is how comfortable you can be around her. She is such a kind soul and she will give you the best pictures. She’s a photo wizard and I wouldn’t have anyone else do my pictures. She knows her stuff. If you are looking for someone you can instantly connect with and feel your absolute best, you can trust her to give you that. She is an artist and like I said, I wouldn’t trust anyone else to do my pictures. I have all the confidence to tell you that she is who you want!
