Unabridged Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves Willowbrook, IL

From my first moment as a wedding photographer, I knew I wanted to kick tradition to the curb. I was tried of seeing wedding photography that excluded the communities that I hold closest. I work hard to form a real connection with each of my clients to craft an experience that captures their unique spirit.

Unabridged Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. Their communication style was easy, open, and fun, which made us feel so at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of their work and value was unbelievable - their eye for capturing the beauty in everything is truly unmatched. The team at Unabridged was the most fun to work with, and I am in awe of the captivating, high-quality photos they delivered. I couldn't and wouldn't suggest anyone better for wedding photography. I wish I could give a million star review!

My name is Kate Scott Daly, and I can't wait to meet you! I'm a Chicago native and have been a professional photographer for nearly a decade. I am obsessed with capturing the perfect moment that will make you gasp and say "Oh my god, this is amazing!" Being a queer woman, it is so important to me that you feel safe, loved, and beautiful every step of the way. If you're looking for someone you can relax with and just be yourself, you've found me! Let's face it: it can be awkward being in front of a camera. Even I feel nervous sometimes! I understand that anxiety and will do everything I can to make you feel fabulous!

Kate was absolutely AMAZING! Her energy was fantastic and I felt so comfortable chatting with her and following her instructions for photos. My now fiancé could not have chosen anyone better to document such an important moment in our lives. Our photos so far are PERFECT! 1000/10 would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!

Featured on Today show and Wedding Day Magazine. I believe everyone deserves to have life's biggest moments captured on camera. But photos turn into heirlooms when the moments are documented in a way that feels absolutely authentically you. No forced emotions, no fake smiles, and certainly no awkward prom-pic poses. Whether you’re dressed to the nines on the day of your wedding or, the dirty white dress that spent more time on the dance floor than the altar let’s capture the authentic you and have a damn good time doing it.

Mary was absolutely fantastic to work with. She was so much fun made us feel like absolute rock stars during our engagement session wedding. Mary was even willing to meet us in Miami to shoot our engagement photos in a one of a kind location. She helped to make our entire wedding experience incredible documented our day so exceptionally well. I am so thankful for the photos that Mary took the friendship that has blossomed from this opportunity to work together.

We really got to know her, and she is very friendly, open and honest. She genuinely loves weddings and gets so excited for a great shot. She gave us feedback in the moment, which I really appreciated so that I could make small adjustments if needed.

Jason Snorlax Photography

Jason "Snorlax" Cun is an all around photographer that currently resides in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in the heart of Los Angeles, where he found his calling in photography. He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.

Based in Chicago, Nicodem Creative is a photography and videography studio with a modern, yet classic, style. We are a husband and wife team who believes wholeheartedly in marriage. Andrew loves a simple wardrobe and playing piano, takes his sauna/steam/spa time very seriously, is a social butterfly, studied poetry in college, and would play soccer every day if time (and his body) afforded it. Marianne feels best when hiking, speaks Portuguese, considers herself a master at making açai bowls and blender soups, loves using clean products, and has to shower every night before going to bed (her alone time).

Awarded Best of Zola
The Nicodem team is everything you want and need in a photography team for your big day. Not only are they incredibly personable, they are extremely organized, professional, efficient, and talented. When we began inquiring with photographers for our wedding, we were having a hard time finding the right fit because everything seemed so impersonal. The Nicodems reached out with a beautiful email and wanted to schedule a phone call for our consultation. Our 30 minute conversation turned into an hour because they were so lovely and I felt like they truly cared about getting to know us, learning our story our story, and hearing about our vision for our day! We knew that they would be the perfect fit. Our engagement photos were so fun with them and they turned out incredible. Leading up to the wedding weekend the Nicodems frequently checked in with us to see how we were doing, if we needed anything, and even sent us flowers (how cute is that?!?!). During our wedding day, we weren't worried about anything because we knew the Nicodem Team would take care of everything. We were calm and able to focus on the joy of the day. The Nicodems did a fabulous job organizing my crazy and big family, capturing special moments, and being our pump-up squad. After the wedding they gave us some sneak peeks and we were dying to see more. Within the timeline provided they gave us our full gallery, and 2 years later, we look at it almost monthly. The only regret is that I wish we booked them for video too!! Your wedding photos and video are forever, to make sure they are perfect, make sure you have the Nicodem Team for both! Thank you Nicodems! You are the absolute best :) xx, The Campions

I'm just a suburban girl who decided to turn her dreams into a reality. I'm all about building relationships and connections. After all, that's what wedding photography is all about. I do this job every weekend because I'm one of those people that is obsessed with pictures. Not just for a living, but for myself. I understand the value in photography. I do this for people who are just like me. For the ones who cherish those photos hanging on the walls. The photos still in that purple glitter album from 2002 of you and your friends in Limited Too. Those memories are all we have from the anchors that built us. Photos are proof that we have lived

Awarded Best of Zola
Lauryn is not only a spectacular photographer, but her organization and lively personality make working with her for your wedding such a great experience. We were nervous about engagement photos as neither of us are super comfortable in front of a camera, but she made us feel at ease, knowing exactly how to guide us and make us feel natural. We are a type-A couple, so Lauryn's professional platform was another huge benefit to working with her. Lauryn's portal houses all your information, she sends regular check lists and questionnaires to ensure she has everything she needs and is extremely communicative. This made us feel so supported throughout the planning process. Lastly, on our wedding day she was such a pleasure have with us. She corralled our friends and family to get things done efficiently without sacrificing quality--allowing us to enjoy our big day to the fullest. We received a sneak peek within a few days, and the full 1,000 images in less than 2 weeks. And they were STUNNING. We couldn't stop reliving our wedding day through her photography, and we'll forever be grateful for Lauryn's talent.

I focus on capturing candid, wholehearted moments portraying your true personalities while always keeping the vibe relaxed and intimate. Your wedding is a unique and precious celebration of love. It should be fun for you and your guests. Just be yourself as I capture all the happy, emotional, romantic and quirky moments that make you and your partner who you are.

Angelica captured our special day absolutely perfectly. We had hired her for our wedding that was supposed to happen in 2020 but had to be rescheduled for 3 years later due to the pandemic and through that entire time she stuck with us! She was communicative and responsive, and her shots were absolutely gorgeous. She managed to capture every single important moment of our celebration and the way she guides and corrals everyone into taking pictures that look good is nothing short of a miracle (trust me, I feel so awkward in front of the camera and I look incredible in all of my wedding shots.) If you need a photographer for your wedding, Angelica is 100% your girl.

I developed a deep passion for photography when I was just 12 years old. Back then, capturing moments with my friends and family meant using Kodak Film, which was not as effortless as it is today. Since then, photography has remained my true calling. In 2002, I pursued my love for journalism and photography by studying at the reputable Institute of LAINSPROCOM. From 2006 onwards, I have been professionally capturing the beauty of weddings and portraits. My photography style can best be described as honest, sincere, and intimate. I strive to capture the raw emotions and captivating moments that make each occasion unique.

Widlet had an amazing vision for the bride. He was friendly, professional, and very creative.

Hi, I'm Samuel! Chicago based wedding and elopement photographer here to give couples a truly relaxed and down to earth experience. Being photographed shouldn't be uncomfortable or boring!  Telling love stories through photos brings me immense joy. 

We were so grateful to Samuel who was able to document our city hall ceremony on a very last minute request during the end of year holidays. (Are you free next weekend?) We were drawn to the documentary style of his work and thought it was a fitting way to remember a special moment in a basement of Chicago's City Hall. Leading up to the day, we texted and chatted about places to do portraits after and Samuel was very patient and helpful in suggesting places that felt right for me and my partner. Not only did he have the inside scoop on what the city hall ceremony was going to be like and what was going to happen, but he was also great to hang out with in line and and get to know better. We both felt very comfortable working with Samuel and the nerves of working with a professional photographer for the first time went out the window. I can only imagine how amazing the experience would be to work with Samuel with more time to prepare or at locations a little less drab than a city hall basement!

2020 was a difficult year for many reasons, but weddings were especially tough to make happen in this calendar year. But what made it even more difficult was having to plan 2 different weddings. The first being a 10 month planned wedding in Joshua Tree, California, until we had to cancel it due to COVID in November a month before it was supposed to happen. My now husband and I scrambled to reset for a smaller ceremony in Illinois instead to allow at least his family to attend and have it at his sister's home in Huntley, IL. We only had one month to reset. One of the most important things for us was photography, and although we had spent most of our savings on the cancelled wedding and we had no hope in recovering most of that back or even soon enough to help with the 2nd wedding, we knew we had to put forth the money and make the right choice for a photographer to document our day as best as possible so that our love ones who couldn't make it could experience that day through the right lens. Justin Vaughn of JVaughn Photography LLC was the right lens and so much more! He worked very closely with us via online google meetings, with a minor setback, which was we couldn't have an in person engagement photo session with him (since we were based in Wyoming and wouldn't arrive in Illinois until closer to the ceremony). Justin prefers to complete an engagement photo session, which comes already included in a lot of his packages, before the wedding to get to know us as a couple and make sure we get the shots we prefer. However even without the engagement session, through our online meetings, we were able to discuss who we are and Justin had that personal touch as though we were talking to an old friend. We established the narrative and story telling that we hoped to have for the day. Justin took detailed notes and had a list of shots to take for the day. But his improvisation and artistic eye was also excellent and he captured moments that we had never thought of that were so beautiful and amazing. In addition to the photography he also did minor videography to provide us a highlight reel, which was beyond what we expected! Throughout the day he was also very much a ninja in capturing the right moments beautifully without obstructing the views of guests present. I would recommend him for any photography need, he truly is an artist that captures the moments you wanted and so much more!

I've been doing photography since high school years. After seven years working as photo journalist, I worked for 5 years on cruise line industry in the photography department. It was 2000 when I became a wedding photographer and opened our own photography studio.

We couldn't have asked for a better photography team for our special day than Doru and his team. From the moment we met them, their professionalism and attention to detail were evident. They were not only punctual but also incredibly polite and attentive throughout the entire event. Doru's creativity truly shone through in the photos he captured. His unique ideas added an extra layer of magic to our wedding memories, and the end results surpassed all our expectations. We were blown away by the quality and creativity evident in every shot. Moreover, their efficiency was remarkable. Despite the fast-paced nature of the day, they managed to capture every important moment flawlessly. And to top it off, the turnaround time for receiving the photos was impressively quick, allowing us to relive the joy of our wedding day almost immediately. If you're looking for photographers who are not only talented but also genuinely passionate about their craft, look no further. They truly went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable, and we are forever grateful.

I'm a caretaker by nature. (Enneagram fan? I'm a 2w3) I love to laugh and am often told I have a calming presence. My friends tell me I have a huge heart and am a good listener. Except my husband says I am a horrible listener but I think that's just to him! I love cats, craft beer, burlesque and radical self care!

Awarded Best of Zola
I met Melissa working in the industry on one of the most difficult shoots I've ever been on. That night she was a total professional and amazing photographer and we quickly bonded. I trust her so much that when it was time for my wedding she was who I asked to capture it. She travelled to France to photograph our wedding and was there like one of our family. She kept us calm and having fun in the stressful moments and her creativity made some of the most incredible wedding photos we could have imagined. Now years later Melissa is the person we call first when it is time to capture our family growing. If her photographs aren't enough to convince you, take it from someone who filmed weddings for 13 years; Melissa is the person you want capturing your day.

Hi, I’m Teri! I’m a Chicago based Wedding Photographer. I approach my photography as an artistic craft. I strive to create images that are emotional and striking. My life’s work is photographing people’s most joyous moments—preserving feelings and details that may otherwise be lost. I am obsessed with creating playful compositions, capturing fleeting moments that make the most treasured memories come alive again. The couples I work with place immense trust in me and it is my honor to create art for them.

Teri B was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding day. Teri's communication style throughout the planning process was professional, knowledgeable and made us feel at ease every step of the way. She is the sweetest person, and her experience really shines through in your conversations with her because she knows which shots to recommend and fight for. On the big day, Teri helped guide us to capture all the right moments while making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She helped us narrow down our shot list to strike the right balance so we captured everything we wanted to, but also not make the day feel overly posed and over manufactured. The end result is nothing short of jaw-dropping. Teri managed to encapsulate all the nostalgic, heartwarming and stunning details of our wedding in a way that only she could do. The photos tell our story beautifully. We are completely in love with our photos so far and can't wait to relive our special day through Teri's artistic eye. We are still waiting on the full set, but our sneak peeks are already so amazing. It brings a tear to my eye when I look at them not only because I think fondly of my wedding day, but also because her level of artistry evokes in me a profound sense of wonder and respect for her work. If you're looking for a photographer who can capture the essence of your wedding through stunning, emotional images, I highly recommend connecting with Teri B.

We could not have been happier with the services and product we received! We picked Nora as our photographer as it seemed like she was great at using natural lighting and did a good job with capturing photos that weren’t posed. We were not disappointed! Nora made the process as easy as humanly possible and very comfortable. She was able to read us easily and could tell when the group was getting restless and even could tell if I wanted certain photos without me saying. Nora was the only photographer but managed to capture all the photos we could have hoped for. The ceremony photos were beautiful but the reception photos perfectly captured the night. The quality of the photos when we got them was spectacular. Additionally, the entirety of the photos were sent to us within just over 4 weeks despite the fact that they had 8 weeks. Lastly, we booked the DJ through essence as well (spinning’ discs) and Nora and the dj worked together great which made it that much easier. If you’re considering essence, do it - you will not regret!

Working with Savanna and having her with us on our wedding day felt like having a supportive friend and hype woman by our sides all day. :) We are absolutely over the moon with our photos, and cannot stop raving about Savanna to everyone! She captured the most intimate and meaningful details of our wedding day, and we have hardly been able to stop pouring over the photos since we got them. On a gray flood-filled weekend, the colors and joy of everything popped so well in her film and digital shots. Savanna has created memories that are so beautiful that we can turn them into actual art pieces to hang on our walls! She is a true artist and a rare talent, and working with Savanna was the best decision we made for our wedding. We are so thankful for her!
