I'll never forget how, during the reception, our photographer noticed the sunlight peeking through the trees, casting a magical glow on the dance floor. He quickly gathered my husband and me for an impromptu photo session that resulted in some of the most breathtaking and unforgettable shots of our day.

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

We were blown away by the work that Pnce Like a Spark did. I was nervous having not met the videographer or photographer before the wedding, but I had nothing to be nervous about! Daniel and Jeremy were incredible, kind, funny, and helped us feel comfortable and relaxed. Their personalities were amazing and we just got our photos and they came out beautifully. Thank you for all the work and ease with everything!

(I have 150 reviews and 4.9 on Thumbtack + 35 reviews with 4.9 on google) I adapt to my couple's wishes so they get their own experience. I don't have a unique photo style, I try to use them all to tell every story, and that helps me capture so many beautiful moments. I capture candid moments as well as helping the couple with their favorite portrait ones.

We had a wonderful experience with Pierro, he was so easy to work with and kept the experience fun and relaxed. Loved his ideas for memorable photos and his ability to capture the best moments! His guidance was super helpful and we were able to get all the shots we wanted plus a lot of amazing candid shots! He worked with us every step and made sure we had fun with it. He was also very understanding about our limited budget and worked resourcefully and creatively. We were originally supposed to have an outdoor wedding but it rained so we had to move it indoors. We were disappointed because we loved the outdoor space at the venue, but Pierro found ways to get beautiful shots inside. He also managed to get some incredible shots outside despite the weather! Overall, it was an amazing time and we are so happy that we went with Pierro. Would definitely recommend his services!

I have 12 years of photography experience, 6 years in the industry and have shot more than 180 weddings. Safe to say, this IS my passion. Couples and wedding photography can be SO stressful--the pressure to look and be a certain way or follow trends is INTENSE. Wedding stress is real and I am anti it all the way. For my couples, they're job is just to show up and have fun. I will do ALL the rest!

Awarded Best of Zola
This review is so overdue it makes me sick, but the reason I've put it off for so long is because I've struggled to come up with the words to fully capture how I feel about Mel and what she contributed to making our special day E V E R Y T H I N G I could have ever asked for. If you don't want to read my whole novel, here's all you need to know: Mel is incredible. As a human being, a woman, a friend, a professional, a photographer - all of it. She will take care of you. I would've paid 10x as much as we did for the memories Mel gave us -- both actual memories WITH Mel and the memories she captured in her photos. From the very beginning I knew I wanted Mel in my corner. I find it SO admirable and refreshing that she takes seriously whether she meshes with her prospective clients or not. She KNOWS that the photos are going to pop off that much more if the vibes between client & photographer are *chef's kiss* -- she's not just chasing anyone down for the money or the exposure. To me, this made Mel really stand out. Vibing with Mel also meant I felt comfortable (because she allowed me the space to) text her with questions/concerns or for advice during the planning and she ALWAYS made me feel better about whatever I was worrying about. Mel is a friend, a sidekick, a bada**, ready-for-anything, go-with-the-flow-but-also-command-the-flow hype woman professional. I'm not kidding when I say that a large portion of my core memories from wedding day are with Mel. And I don't mean because she was following me around with a camera all day, I mean because of the actual hilarious, heartwarming, lifesaving interactions with Mel that stick out to me more than conversations I had with our own wedding guests. Imagine spending all day with someone who isn't making you laugh, providing you relief from the stress, tending to you and just making you feel like an absolute prize all day!!?! Couldn't be me. Wouldn't be Mel. She's d*mn good company. We had a large wedding party which can be annoying for any vendor but especially a photographer. Mel never made us feel bad about that. She stated the facts, made clear what she needed and then made. it. happen. The groomsmen in our party were not great listeners and Mel dominated in getting everyone's attention back. My bridesmaids were basically crushing over how much of a boss she is. And because of how much of a boss she is, she kept ALL things on track, even things she wasn't originally responsible for. She is THE ultimate wedding expert and has an answer for everything. Not every photographer could do what she does, so thank god for Mel knowing her strengths and positioning herself to share the power of those strengths with all of us. Nothing could've prepared me for the emotions I would feel looking through the gallery Mel delivered. Utter shock and awe -- our photos were uniquely ours but still dazzled with that same Mel magic I fell in love with when I found her on IG. After our wedding, I looked back on our day and felt sad thinking about moments I missed or wish I could redo. Her photos completely took all of that away. It was all accounted for. You can trust her to have listened to your needs/wants, to have taken any unique or awkward circumstances into consideration and to have captured moments you'd probably be sad about missing (even the really small, less obviously-important ones). Book her. Book her for the max duration that you can. She's the best in the biz and nothing could convince me otherwise.

Hey there, I'm Taber! A passionate wedding photographer with a heart full of love and a spirit that embraces the joy in every moment. Through my lens, I strive to weave stories that are not just timeless, but also uniquely romantic, creative, and filled with genuine fun. My fun-loving spirit ensures that not only do I take stunning photos, but I also create an atmosphere where laughter and joy naturally unfold. I specialize in creating images that not only stand the test of time but also tell a story that is exclusively yours. From intimate glances to exuberant celebrations, I aim to freeze every moment in a frame of everlasting beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
I could not have dreamt up a better photographer for our wedding than Taber Lacie... I don't even know where to begin. Booking her was easily the best decision we made of all our vendor choices. Her talent is just through the roof. There are certainly plenty of photographers out there who are talented and it can be tough to narrow down, but what I think separates Taber from the pack is how, in addition to being uniquely talented and passionate about her work, she is also affordable, incredibly fun to be around, and will stick around for the ENTIRE day and night. The importance of having a photographer who is laid-back, directive (in an enjoyable and super helpful way!), hilarious, and overall a joy to have with you is so underrated; it can really make or break your mood for the day since they're there, ideally, throughout every part of your day. In terms of her rates, I truly believe she could charge double what she does and still be worth every penny. The fact that she included a free engagement photo session (in part to help you ensure it's a good fit) and stayed through the reception was such a gift. That said, if I had to pinpoint one aspect of what makes Taber so special and why I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer is that she tailors her photographs to your preferences and taste. We are a huge fan of dancing photos, for example, and holy cow did she come through. She sends out a questionnaire before the big day and its purposefully lengthy so that she can be thorough and give you all exactly what you're looking for. Even if our photos aren't your taste, I highly recommend browsing her site, as her range is as remarkable as is the quality of her photographs. In short, if you book Taber, I am confident she will exceed your expectations just as she exceeded ours.

Hey future newlyweds! I'm Jarrod, a wedding photographer that specializes in story telling. Tired of all the bright, overposed, cookie cutter sh*t you keep seeing? Let's create wedding images with real emotion, story, and intention to them. I know being in front of the camera can be awkward. That's why I choose not to pose couples, but instead prompt you to do something like "take off your shoes and run across the field" or " get inside the car and kiss everywhere except the lips". These prompts will help you feel comfortable and also help create candid images. Check out my website for more info :)

I've always been a creative at heart, my own mother is an artist so maybe it's genetic? However, photography was never on my radar. One fateful day, a friend reached out to me requesting engagement photos for her and her love. My iPhone and I were absolutely honored at the opportunity! After the debut of those beautiful, phone quality captures, the inquiries came rolling in! I was pleasantly surprised and within months decided it was only right to invest in proper gear. Officially established in 2021, I've been beyond blessed with the chance to meet so many wonderful people and capture their once in a lifetime moments! Anya Grace 🖤

Anya is a highly talented photographer. I struggle with following simple directions, which may be due to the language barrier as English is not my native language. However, Anya was extremely patient with me. I hired her twice for my wedding and graduation pictures, but I actually worked with her three times, including engagement photos, the wedding, and the graduation shoot. She made me feel like a celebrity in all the pictures. I highly recommend her to everyone.

Hey there! My name is Angelina and I started practicing photography in August 2020, but I've had an interest in it since I was 13 years old (I really wanted to shoot for National Geographic). Now I've expanded into portraits, engagement sessions, and I've done small weddings. I'm a Chicago native but I've also lived in Iowa, Arizona, Nebraska, & Texas. What can I say, I enjoyed a somewhat nomadic lifestyle. I have recently moved back to Illinois in the town of Channahon. My style of photography is more documentary-esque. Either way, I enjoy conceptualizing with clients to find what works for you!

Angelina was such a breath of fresh air. You all know how stressful hosting events can be let alone having a wedding! She came early to the venue which calmed my nerves, and made genuine connections with everyone to produce some of the best photos. What I appreciated most was her professionalism and authenticity.

However, I do love dramatic images with a editorial flair and will give guidance when needed. Whether you are having an intimate gathering with your closest family and friends or having a huge party, we want to be there and give you the images that reflect you!

Nicole and Michael went above and beyond for our wedding in Mexico. Not only did they travel all the way to Mexico for us, but when it poured down rain on our wedding day, they took extra time from their vacation to take even more photos of us a few days after our wedding. I told Nicole that I didn't want basic wedding photos, I wanted art, and she delivered! We plan to continue using Gray Photography Company for all of our family photos and future milestones. Cannot recommend them enough!

Such a delight to work with Saumya! We did a fall couple photoshoot. Due to the covid-19 pandemic, other than a quick photoshoot during our wedding, we hadn't done photos as a couple before. My partner is camera-shy and she made sure we both felt comfortable to be ourselves during the shoot. She is very attentive to your vision for the shoot, and creates a warm environment where the shoot feels like fun. Our pictures turned out great!

The easiest and most special part of my wedding!! I got married last August 2022 and planned it all by myself while being a medical student. Gubert Photos made the photography aspect of our wedding so easy and incredible - not to mention the actual photos, which were everything we wanted and more! Having this day captured was one of my biggest priorities and Gubert Photos did not fail me once. I was able to fill a whole scrapbook with all of our favorite moments from our wedding and thanks to the quality of the photos, we look at it all the time. I would recommend this company to anyone looking to capture any special party or event and I anticipate working with them again in the future!! Thanks again for being great!!

My goal is very simple; document what's happening. All of it. The little smiles, small embraces, big laughs, quiet tears, fingers intertwined, subtle glances, and first steps. None of these things will ever happen the way they happened today. I believe there should be proof that you laughed at that joke, said those vows, kissed that cheek, and cried those tears. And it should be captured in a way that is beautiful and full of feeling.

As a florist, I love it when my couples book a photographer like Sara Gardner Photography! Her photos are excellent and she is efficient and easy to work with including sharing the photos of my creations with me so that I have some high quality images of my work to post.

I can not recommend Madison more for any photography needs. She photographed my wedding back in December and made the process so comfortable and easy. The constant photos for wedding day can be very overwhelming and Madison made me feel comfortable and relaxed. She outlined the process before hand, kept great communication and was extremely professional. All this to say, I haven’t even touched on the quality of her work!!!! The photos came out stunning. I am constantly getting complimented on the photos from our wedding and I look back on them daily to soak in the memories Madison caught on camera. Madison is sweet, organized and talented.

Hi friend! Grace here. I’m from a small town in south-central PA, where I was raised on the great outdoors, drive-in movies, & board games. My husband is my best friend & we have an adorable toddler keeping us on our toes! We're all about Jesus, our people, traveling, coffee shops & our two Aussies.

I believe that marriage begins with a promise & a lifetime of memories follow after that. My clients are my friends & I feel privileged to begin this adventure with you!

I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. She was sooo easy to work with. Her visions aligned with mine, she was efficient and so sweet. I truly trusted her with everything in me and she did not disappoint! She traveled across the country for us and was a 10/10 human being and professional photographer. You need her!!

We are David and Rachel McKissic, the owners and photographers. We have been in business for 9 eventful years in Indianapolis, and beyond. We took a risk with no experience, a love for art, and a love for love. We made this decision after we said "I do". We were going to buy a couch but we opted to chase a dream. We are still chasing that dream and capturing so many amazing moments along the way. We have 3 wonderful children who are the fuel of our lives' drive. I (Rachel) am a lover of detail and David lives life on the edge. Together, we are a complementary couple and you'll definitely sense it when you work with us! Let's connect!

Awarded Best of Zola
It was an absolute pleasure to work with Rachel and David on and leading up to our wedding day! From the moment I logged on to our first consultation with Rachel I knew we were in good hands. Her process for working with us was clear, straightforward, and attentive to detail. We were so glad that we were able to work with both Rachel and David and that they were willing to travel to South Bend, IN at a very reasonable cost. They were able to demonstrate poses together and each brought their own warmth and creativity to the shoot. They gave excellent directions and were exceptionally kind and patient with our family. The results are absolutely stunning - crisp, classic photos that celebrate our loved ones and even the smallest details of our wedding day! Our family and friends can't say enough about how wonderful they were to work with and how much they love the photos. We agree - we can't recommend Those McKissics highly enough!

I'm a Wedding photographer based in Northern Illinois - My photo aesthetic is probably best described as an earth toned Cinematic. Style of shooting??? Basicalllyyy editorial with minor prompting for those select few that are camera shy. Trust me - I want you to look good so you can see your pretty face on this site front & center! I took a break for a while being a mom of a few wildlings, moved across the country with the love of my life and just finding out how much I missed home & how amazing the people are around me in the right areas. Love to travel, bucket list is still Joshua Tree in California + ALWAYS Colorado!

Lexi was wonderful. Her editing Style and overall way of shooting was a breath of fresh air. We don’t do well in front of the camera and she was able to open us up and make it feel like there was no one else watching. 10/10 wish I could get married again just to get more photos from her.
