Ivan and his team were great! From start to finish it was a very smooth process to book with IGphoto, we had an engagement shoot with him as well. The photos for both engagement and wedding turned out amazing. They look luxurious and classic and truly captured what a fun day we had. I’ve watching the highlight video they made for us about a hundred times, it was very well edited. Can’t go wrong booking them!

Meg Dunn Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Somonauk, IL

Timeless | Romantic | Classic Wedding photographer - I believe in the idea that "great photos are created from personal connection." I put my heart and soul into making sure the couples I work with have the best possible experience and end up with images that we can both be proud of. My favorite part of taking photos is being able to find the special moments within your big milestones. It's those candid times, along with the significance of the occasion, that come together to create your favorite memories and it's my job to capture those through my visual storytelling.

Meg was an absolute pleasure to work with! From engagement pictures to our actual wedding day, Meg felt more like a good friend than just another vendor. She and her assistant, Vic, took the time to understand our priorities and ensure that each and every moment we wanted to capture was covered. In addition to this, they were also insanely creative creating images we didn’t even think about or consider. You’d be silly not to consider her.

I'm Courtney! I care not only about providing you with sharp, authentic and colorful images on your wedding day, but helping you to be fully present on your wedding day so you remember all the big and little moments.

Courtney is everything you could want in a photographer. Photography was a top priority for my wedding and I'm so thankful I went with Expedition Joy. My photos are the exact "timeless, bright and airy (without being washed out)" that I dreamed of. She made us feel super comfortable, took feedback and let us request shots, quickly turned around our engagement session & wedding sneak peaks, and even let us sneak a shot back within 24 hours (insane!!!!). Photos are so important and you should book someone you can trust to give you the gift of those memories in the way you you want and envision them. Courtney did just that for us!! 10/10.

Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving and laughing. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I got you!

PictureMeThisbyLacie was the most amazing photographer we could have dreamed of. Lacie and her husband made our day an absolute breeze! We even had sneak peek pictures before the nights festivities came to an end. Lacie and our videographer worked seamlessly together, we would recommend her over and over again, without hesitation.

My name is Elliot Stokes and I am a photographer located in the Madison, WI area, but I work all across Wisconsin and Illinois. I have been drawn to the camera since I was young, but becoming a father has really shown me the magic behind capturing the most candid and beautiful moments of our lives. I started my journey into professional photography officially in the summer of 2019 and received my Bachelors of Fine Arts degree with honors in Digital Photography in the spring of 2022. I absolutely love what I do and look forward to every new experience and opportunity this journey takes me on!

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough about how wonderful it was to have Elliot as our photographer for our wedding! Simply put - book Elliot for your next event! He is the best vendor we have ever worked with and I promise you will not be disappointed. Elliot is incredibly responsive - like anytime we had a question (which was often) he would be texting/calling us back within 10 min. It was so nice and really helped relieve a lot of stress throughout our planning. Elliot is extremely knowledgeable in his field of work and was extremely helpful in guiding all of our poses and providing insight on the best location spots and recommended order of events. Elliot prioritizes you on your special day and will do anything to get the best shots - he literally climbed a tree for us lol! He also kept a box of Q-tips on him at all times to help me blot my tears without ruining my makeup which was so so sweet. Elliot is also very efficient. He gets great shots super quickly and can work within your timeline. He literally had our sneak peeks and drone video uploaded to my phone the same day as our event. Overall, Elliot is extremely passionate about his work and will do everything he can to ensure you are happy with the result. We are obsessed with what we have seen so far and cannot wait to see the full package!

Jay & Nicole Vega decided to pursue a career together in the art of Photography. Met & married in Chicago in 2013, two people set out on a business venture of a lifetime. While Nicole is the main photographer of the company, we have also expanded and hired reliable, talented photographers to work along side with us, while still maintaining a small business feel.

From the moment I inquired, The Still Life Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with. Even though Nicole, the lead photographer, was based in a different time zone, her communication was best-in-class. She was incredibly responsive and helpful every step of the way, from our initial conversations to the delivery of our stunning photo gallery. Nicole's work was absolutely breathtaking, and I still fawn over my pictures every time I look at them! She was truly so amazing and went above and beyond to capture all the special moments of our wedding day. I cannot recommend The Still Life Photography highly enough - they were an integral part of making our wedding day perfect.

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Awarded Best of Zola
Abby wasn’t able to travel to my wedding but she sent her assistants and she edited the photos. It went absolutely perfect. The photos were beautiful and I got so many meaningful photos with my family and his family that I wouldn’t have thought to get. I sent her draft of a timeline and the photographers printed it out and had it to make sure the photos I wanted got done. They were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much to Abby and her team.

Bonie Wedding was great to work with. From the start process, the communication was easy. Hannah was our lead photographer with Emily and Lactoya were our videographers, who were both great teams. I highly recommend using Bonie weddings for both photo and video, as the two teams worked together without any trouble. During the reception, we barely noticed their presence, yet every time we looked up they were there recording everything. It was so nice to know that your special day was captured from start to finish, without feeling overwhelming. We appreciated Hannah and Emily's directions for all the photos. The production team was great as well. Very responsive and easy to communicate. They make the entire process clear and concise, which is appreciated when the wedding planning process and day off can feel overwhelming. Our wedding was not even 2 weeks ago and we already received our video trailer, as well as some sneak peek pictures from Hannah via Dropbox. Hannah also did our engagement shoot and it was fun and easy. We loved how our pictures came out and are so eager to see the rest. Thank you Bonie!

My passion for wedding photography stems from my love of storytelling. Weddings are filled with moments of joy, laughter, and love, and I believe in honoring every genuine connection and fleeting glance that happens throughout the day. Every couple has a unique story, and my goal is to help you relive yours for years to come through images that evoke the same emotions you felt on your wedding day. Being in Business for 6years with over 120 Wedding shot across the country.

KP was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography and videography. From the moment we booked them, the photographers were patient, accommodating, and clearly understood what we were looking for. They asked all the right questions upfront to ensure they captured our vision perfectly. On the day of the wedding, both the photographers and videographer were awesome - they worked hard to make sure we got every shot we wanted and they made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I can't say enough good things about how they contributed to our special day. We are thrilled with the final photos and video, and would highly recommend KP to any couple looking for top-notch wedding vendors.

Lauren was amazing from our first conversation all the way til the end. As an interracial couple, I was drawn to her photos featuring diverse couples. I loved that Lauren talked about having experience and taking a course dedicated to the lighting/ensuring different skin tones look great in photos (she used professional photographer words but this was over a year ago now haha!) I told her about my insecurities and she ensured me that I would look beautiful and suggested different poses etc that would highlight the features that I wanted. She was on time and took charge of the timeline to keep us on track which I greatly appreciated. The photos are amazing; I can’t decide which is my favorite because it changes every day! I cannot recommend LAR photography enough. Definitely the smoothest vendor of the day. Thank you Lauren!!!
