Christopher Ginn Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Starts at $3,200
  • Serves Valier, IL for additional fees

I bought my first DSLR camera in 2004 when my now wife, Tracey, and I were taking a cruise to Alaska. For a monumental trip like this, I HAD to get an amazing camera. Those 8.2 megapixels with nine four points had me in LOVE. Ever since then, the ability of a photograph to be able to freeze time; freeze an emotion; freeze a memory has kept me addicted. Whether it’s getting a great angle, finding light that tells the story, or capturing the true personality of someone; it all brings a smile to my face and hopefully yours!

Awarded Best of Zola
Chris made the entire process so easy for us. We are not big on posing for pictures, we both would much rather enjoy the moment and be with people we love and from the very beginning Chris was great at helping us to achieve this. We officially met Chris about a year out from our wedding at our engagement session and we had the best time and the pictures were incredible. He guided us through the next steps with the wedding and prepped us for everything. I am not much of a planner so this was so appreciated. Our wedding day went so so smoothly and the pictures just helped recapture the love and fun we felt that day. We couldn't be more grateful to him for catching all of these moments so we can feel the same way we did on our wedding day everytime we look at them.

Brit is professional yet so personable and I couldn’t imagine having anyone else shoot our wedding. She is so kind and caring, she took care of us every step of the way from engagement session through the big day and I knew without a doubt we wouldn’t be disappointed by booking her. Sure enough, Brit is a friend even months after our wedding and her pictures are ones I will cherish for the rest of my life.

We take absolute pride of all our shoots and edits. With us, you see consistency and amazing storytelling/compositions We do not outsource my work to anybody. Videography by : Martin Shin Photography by :Kero & Itten

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Martin from start to finish was an absolute dream. He was very professional, communication was excellent, and he always found time to chat with us if we had any questions we wanted to talk through. We had big dreams of doing our first looks at Grand Central, and considering our wedding/prep was in Brooklyn, this was definitely not going to be an easy feat to squeeze in with the travel time. But Martin helped us make the timeline, and although we ended up falling behind schedule, still managed to get us there with the most amazing photos and videos. He and Kero are literally the coolest people we've ever met, and they made a full day of posing and smiling so much more fun and lighthearted. And everything we did was all part of such a smart plan - there were some poses/shots that in the moment we thought felt odd, but looking back at the final edits it all came together. Their team works on other projects outside of weddings, and you can really see their artistry come through in the finished products. Our wedding photos are beautifully edited, and really captured all the most important aspects of the day. And the candid shots we got from our reception truly convey the energy and excitement of the night. The videos are exceptional. From each new snippet that got released on social media, to the final products of our 10 minute highlight reel and full documentary, we can look back on our wedding and feel like we're watching a movie trailer or a music video. The way the clips were synced with the music was so magical, and it all just flowed in a way that makes so much sense. I would 1000% recommend Making Lab to anyone who is looking for both photography & videography for any event.

We had our wedding reception at a brewery and wanted some easy to eat sweet and salty snacks. These popcorn flavors were delicious, they sent us flavors to try before we decided. We chose 4 flavors and they shipped them right to our house. The popcorn buckets had our cute custom labels which they designed for us and looked PERFECT! We had tons of compliments on the popcorn. We ordered plenty and people were grabbing them to take home at the end of the night. A perfect snack after a few beers. Theu were very fast with the samples and the order too!

Awarded Best of Zola
We found Madison because she was an Alumni from same school, UCF, as me. We booked her to do an engagement shoot (an hour outside of Orlando) and our photos turned out absolutely amazing. From that one interaction with her, it really felt like we knew her our whole lives. She is super nice, personable, and made us feel very comfortable right away. She also had so much knowledge about the area, and any questions that we had regarding the shoot. She planned and timed everything out so that we could get photos at one location, and then sunset photos by the beach 30 min away. And then when we were looking for photographers for our wedding (in Philadelphia), it was a no-brainer that we wanted to book her again to capture our big day. She came halfway up the coast and played a large role in making our day perfect. We planned the photography from 1000 miles away, and she was really communicative and helpful about the picture planning, and also just wedding planning in general. We ran into a timing issue with how the day was going to work out before the ceremony, and she helped us navigate that, and she worked to keep us on track throughout the night for the different photos that we wanted. She knew what to do & what not to do in the Church. She also worked well alongside our videographer. Ultimately, we are very happy with our experience with Madison, and the wedding photos she took turned out absolutely amazing.

A few days before our wedding, I got a message from Al saying our DJ had COVID and that they were going to send someone else. I was super bummed because I had loved our original pick (DJ Marcus) who did a fantastic job DJing our friends wedding in 2021. The replacement DJ (DJ Jose) called us right away to review all the details of the night with us. I was still hesitant, but was beginning to feel more comfortable during the conversation. On wedding day, DJ Jose was kind, professional, punctual, and ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT on the dance floor!! No one sat down for the entire night and guests are STILL raving about DJ Jose! Many guests have even requested Jose's song selections for the entire day (ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception) because they loved it so much! Props to Okyne for having such talented DJs that can pick up events for each other and still do a fantastic job. Al was very responsive and easy to work with, as well!

I aim to professionally document the wonders of your celebration in a way that feels easy, relaxed, and enjoyable for you. My creative background provides a unique aspect to my photography. It combines high-quality and top-of-the-range equipment with an individual perspective.

When you are hiring Veera, you are not getting yourself a photographer, you are roping in a magician, and the master of capturing emotion. Veera covered my wedding that spanned 3 days, and was filled with events, music, dance, color and laughter. I have never met someone as professional, fun, kind, accommodating and talented as him. He was the best vendor I worked with through the wedding planning. He knows exactly what to do, the shots to take and angles to capture. His skill and talent will immortalize many an occasion, and with guarantee, compel you to relive the joyous event. The hues in his pictures are the most vibrant combination and contrasts, and you will soon learn that he’s elusive to normal surfers of wedding websites on the Internet, and rightfully so, for he is your surprise find. Should you ever have the good fortune of landing his services, you will look at the outcome and realize that he has put his time and soul into it. I do not wax eloquent about people for any reason other than the fact that they simply deserve it and he is one of the very few people I’ve ever written this for. I can count on my fingertips the people that I’ve left reviews. Veera, bless your heart, you’re a great guy, with the gift of photography from God, but you enhance it with your good nature, absolute professionalism, sense of timing and the oodles of creativity you possess. I do not wish to have any other photographer for any milestone of my life will follow this. Hire him without the slightest doubt and he will make your moments look like they’re straight from a magazine, without all the fuss and with everything that’s real and tugs at your heart.

With over 10 years of industry experience, my strengths clearly lie in wedding and portraiture photography. Whether you're a recently engaged couple looking for someone to preserve your journey from fiancés to newlyweds through photographs, an expectant Mama hoping to capture your maternity glow or simply wanting to document you and your loved ones during whatever special season of life you're in, I would love to hear from you, I specialize in all types of portraiture but I am renowned for my wedding and engagement photography above all else. Whatever your photo needs are, I would love to chat and find out if we're a good match.

Sam is truly amazing person and photographer. First off, every conversation you have with Sam, whether it be a phone call or texting, she truly cares about the small details and wants your day to be perfect. We knew we made the right decision when we got back our engagement photos - they were beautiful! Days leading up to the wedding Sam was fully available to answer any and all questions. As an experienced wedding photographer she was able to gave helpful suggestions and ideas. She went through the shoot list, making sure she knew who everyone was and perfecting the days timeline. She is not only your wedding photographer, but she treats you like you have known her for years. She goes above and beyond for her clients and I cannot recommend her enough. She is one of the best in the business! We are so thankful we chose her to photograph our special day!

WELCOME! I'M LISA. And I am so glad you found my online home! There’s something magical about the sparkle in a man’s eye as he says “I do” to his bride. There’s something wondrous about the warmth of your husband’s comforting embrace after a long day at work. And there’s something simply delightful about the mischievous grin on a toddler’s face as they burst into laughter, telling their momma the best joke ever. (Spoiler alert: it'd probably be a bit inappropriate for the dinner table!)

As a wedding floral designer, I work with all the local photographers and see many many client galleries. I have had the pleasure of working with Lisa quite a few times and she does fantastic work. She is friendly, kind and professional and her photos are always stunning. Just recently I was completely blown away by the images she sent over, as well as surprised by how quick her turnaround was. I always look forward to working with her on styled shoots and I know when my clients book with her, the photos will be excellent.

There truly is nothing better than getting a message from my clients about how happy they are with their images and how much it means to them. I have traveled to Colorado, California, New York, Florida, Alabama-- All over for weddings! I LOVE to travel for my work.

I believe you can't stand behind your business unless you can say you fully understand it – and 24 years of marriage is proof that I KNOW LOVE. I set out to capture the essence of love when I started Parker Photography in 2018. I have been married to my best friend for the last 24 years, and people who meet us swear we are newlyweds. We still act like lovestruck teenagers with each other, that same feeling we get from every newly engaged couple that we meet. We know where our couples are coming from and what they hope to capture in their engagement sessions and on their wedding day, and we make it effortless for them to achieve their goals.

Deb and her team did an absolutely amazing job with our wedding pictures in April 2021. The pictures are so beautiful and did a great job of capturing our day. She got the pictures back to us so quick too! Our friends and family have not stopped texting us raving about how nice the pictures came out! Would recommend Parker Photography to anyone.

We were able to get stunning shots with multiple background colors and scenes. I can't begin to explain how much their expertise and attention to detail meant to us. The photos are so clear and perfect, with no weird glimpses or coloring issues whatsoever. They made both my wife and I feel completely comfortable and confident, even when we were a bit nervous.

Hi there! We’re Tracey-Ann and Martin, wife and husband photography team, and we’re ready to capture the fun and romance of your wedding day. We’ve been documenting love stories for 14+ years (and happily married even longer!) and, along with beautiful photos, our intention is to infuse your day with pure joy! Partners in life and business, we use our synchronicity to document your day and to capture those special candid moments that make your wedding unique.

My husband and I are so incredibly grateful to have met and worked with Tracey and Martin. Not only are they incredible photographers, but wonderful human beings as well. Their positive energy and passion for what they do shines through in their work and in the way that they treat their clients. All of the pictures they took captured our special day perfectly and the slideshows they put together had both myself and my husband tearing up. My husband and I are not super into taking pictures and tend to feel a little bit awkward, but Tracey and Martin made us feel relaxed and at ease for all of our photos. We can't say enough good things about the two of them and strongly recommend Tracey and Martin to anyone looking to an amazing photography team! :)
