I'm Melissa (she/her) and I'm so glad you're here. I've been photographing couples in love since 2019 and it's truly an honor to capture your love during one of the most important times of your life. One of my favorite memories in childhood was sneaking away with my sister and looking through old photo albums, especially our parent's wedding album. Providing those happy and emotional memories for my clients is one of my favorite parts of wedding photography. I pride myself on offering my couples a creative, high-touch, seamless wedding photography experience from start to finish. I look forward to meeting you and your partner!

When my husband and I started planning our wedding, having beautiful photos was at the very top of both of our lists. For us, a photographer came before all other vendors, and we both agreed it was simply not an area in which we’d cut corners. When I cam across Melissa’s photos, I immediately knew she was obviously the style and vibe we were going for. Within a matter of seconds, I was blown away by the amount of details her pictures had, and within a matter of minutes, I was sending her a message praying to the heavens above that she was available for our date. I could not recommend Melissa enough. Her photos are absolutely stunning - they speak for themselves. But what you can’t see by scrolling through her galleries or social media pages, is the absolute GEM behind the camera. Melissa is professional, fun, energetic, happy - and she brings that energy with her through every single click of her shutter. She was so good at guiding and directing us throughout all our photos — and you’re hearing this from a couple who is extremely awkward posing for pictures! She made us feel beyond comfortable — confident! She even made a super impression on our families and wedding party. They all made a point to tell me how much they enjoyed her throughout the day! We had so much fun with her and she captured us and our wedding day absolutely perfectly. Melissa goes above and beyond and truly listens to what her couples want out of their pictures. She managed to get every single picture I could have ever hoped for— and then some! We absolutely love both our engagement and wedding photos, and they will be on display in our home forever. I could not thank her enough. I can guarantee you, you will not be disappointed in hiring Melissa! She was the easiest, and by far the best, vendor we hired! I’d hire her again any day!

  • Serves Waterman, IL

I document love for a living, and what drives me is capturing authenticity in the moments that I am privileged to become a part of with my clients. I've been photographing weddings for over a decade. I know how to make you look good, and how to take away the "overwhelmed" fake vibe most couples feel and replace it with meaningful photos in 1/250 of a second.

Kay was referred to me by two different brides. I had seen their wedding pictures posted and reached out immediately. The turnaround time for receiving our photos took TWO WEEKS. I know brides that didn’t get their photos back for months. It was so special to be able to see them so quickly after our wedding. Especially considering the exceptional quality and attention to detail in each image. The final edits were flawless, and the photographer managed to enhance the natural beauty. I got every single photo I had put on my shot-list. But what stood out most was when we noticed that we didn’t get a picture of my parents alone and I asked her if we ever took one. She offered to photoshop a picture of them together and the final result was unbelievable. You would have never known they were not standing next to each other. My parents could not be happier with it. I wholeheartedly recommend Kay to anyone in need of capturing their special day. Their talent, professionalism, and commitment to delivering outstanding results make them a top choice. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

Bella Luz Photography

  • Serves Waterman, IL

After beginning in 35mm film and practicing the art of photography on the side all my life, I took a severance package over a change in position when my corporate job was being downsized. That was 2017, and I have only earned my living through a lens since then. Bills, pandemics and doubters - be damned. I am still here, and I am here for you.

My husband and I have so many great things to say about Kevin, where should we begin?? I guess it is important to note that we booked Kevin for our wedding/elopement EIGHT days in advance-not much time at all. With it being such a last minute online booking, we weren’t sure what to expect when it came to quality or price. Boy, were we happy with what we got! Kevin arrived early, had a great positive attitude, and went with the flow for the day. He was well prepared with lots of equipment and ideas and we could clearly see his knowledge with photography and getting a beautiful shot. Oh, and to top it off, we were sent some previews/proofs SO quickly-we were not expecting it. It was amazing to be able to share a professional photo so quickly with our friends/family who were not at the elopement ceremony. To wrap it up…if you want a photographer that is timely, pleasant to work/communicate with, doesn’t cost an arm and a leg, and takes amazing pictures-look no further and book Kevin for your event!! We are so happy we did.

Howdy! I’m Aubriana, a photographer passionate about capturing life and love in their most genuine moments. My journey with photography began over a decade ago in high school and has since grown into a heartfelt career. Inspired by my time in Iowa and the beauty of Milkweed fields, my business name reflects my love for fleeting, magical moments—just like the Monarch butterflies that migrate each year. I believe every love story is unique and deserves to be documented with care, warmth, and authenticity. I’d be honored to capture yours!

Working with milkweed moments is a breeze! I was nervous because I have a 3 and 1 year old, and wasn’t sure how they would cooperate. Aubriana made everything go smoothly. She’s great with kids, great with directives on posing, and really made the day so fun! She got all the shots I dreamed of!”. Will be booking her again in the future!

Shawnee was an unbelievable photographer and such a special part of our wedding weekend. From the moment we reached out to her to getting our pictures, she has been incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and deeply kind. She made us feel so at ease and taken care of at our Rehearsal Dinner and on our wedding day. She not only allowed us to be our fullest selves but also encouraged capturing us in ways that felt authentic and not stuck in expected wedding photos or gender roles. She captured our guests so beautifully too, particularly the kids who were in our wedding. Everyone's personalities shone through so wonderfully and the picture are absolutely stunning.

Phil and Andrea of McConville Studio were an absolute joy to work with for our wedding photography. From our first conversation, their communication was kind, clear, and professional, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. On the day of the wedding, they were attentive and intuitive, ensuring they captured every special moment, even going so far as to shovel snow at one point to get the perfect shot. Their artistic vision and attention to detail is truly above and beyond. We are overjoyed with the final product and would recommend McConville Studio to any couple looking for beautiful, high-quality wedding photography.

We are a photo and cinema team. Our niche is weddings, fashion and quinceaneras. We love what we do and our foundation is Jesus. Without Him we would not be here. We are a destination team as well. We travel the U.S. and abroad.

Words cannot fully express the gratitude we feel for the incredible team behind R&R Productions! From the moment we met them during our engagement shoot, they instantly made us feel at ease, turning what could have been a nerve-wracking experience into something genuinely fun and unforgettable. Their warm personalities, unmatched professionalism, and creative vision were evident right from the start. When it came to our wedding day—the most important day of our lives—they didn’t just capture moments; they captured the very essence of love, joy, and celebration that surrounded us. They didn’t feel like vendors; they felt like family, celebrating alongside us while documenting each precious second. They even covered us in prayer, which meant so much to us. Raphael worked through an injury without us knowing, simply because he didn’t want us to adjust anything for him. That level of dedication and selflessness left us in awe. They don’t just take pictures and record videos; they weave a story from the beginning to the end, preserving the magic and emotions in a way that’s truly extraordinary. And I just don’t even know where to begin with Rasheeda. We met through a Facebook post I replied to—one I initially thought was a scam. Boy, was I wrong! She and I ended up talking that very same day for over an hour, and it felt like we’d known each other forever. From the start, it was never just a business transaction; it felt like family helping to prepare for the big moments in life. Her warmth and genuine care meant everything to us. I don’t know what I did to be so lucky to have crossed paths with this amazing team, but I am forever grateful that we did. I honestly feel like I should keep them on retainer for every milestone in life because I cannot imagine anyone else being able to document such meaningful moments with the care and dedication they do. Choosing them was one of the best decisions we made, and we couldn’t recommend them more highly! Jerome and I are so grateful for the both of you.

Don't be so sure. Your unique love deserves to be documented whoever that may look. If you want bad-ass photography that stands out, all while having fun doing it, we're what you've been looking for. Let's connect. We'd love to hear your love story.

I haaaate having my photo taken. I was super anxious about the whole process going into it. It takes a certain amount of trust to let someone photograph you... Jay and his Bellocq team were A from start to finish. We were blown away by A) the sheer amount of photos given back (they don't cap their packages at certain photo counts) and B) how seamlessly the entire collection flowed together from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for more. We will definitely be re-booking them for our family photos (first baby on the way!!!) in the future. Jay is incredibly kind and fun to be around, and just puts you at ease. That is the first thing you'll notice when you meet. Can't recommend Bellocq enough!!!
