M28 Photography & Films

  • Fine art style
  • Serves Wilmette, IL

I’m all about art and creativity. I absolutely love photography and capturing moments for families and couples. It means a lot to have people appreciate your work and cherish it because it means a lot to them. It’s also cool to have clients who not only enjoy my work with M28 but also become a fan of my own personal projects. I am an activist in every sense of the word. I advocate for issues that speak out against injustices and inequality in an attempt to make the world better for our children.

The Summerset team is the warmest and most professional team. We were nervous about finding a photographer we felt comfortable with, since my husband and I are on the shy side when it comes to photos. Since meeting Mack at a wedding event, we were instantly drawn to working with them. Since then, each person from their team that we worked with was incredible. The process starts off with a call where they get to know you and based on what you are looking for and wanting, they match you with a photographer that is a good fit. And they did such a great job matching us. We worked with Dominique as our lead photographer and had so much fun with her at our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. For our wedding we worked with Dominique and Marcus for photography and Mack as our content creator. They made us feel comfortable and made sure we had fun throughout our wedding. Not only that, but they brought incredible energy. As an added challenge for them, we also have incredibly camara shy family memebers that they were able to take out of their shells and made incredibly comfortable. After spending just few minutes with the team, us and our families were comfortable posing and taking photos, as they almost make you forget there is a camara there. It has only been a few days and because we had the content creator package, we already got an amazing video and previews of our photos. We have no doubt all of our photos will be incredible, and the videos that were captured were so special. They were able to find moments for us to connect with one another in the midst of a lot of activity. Could not recommend them enough.

AJ Abelman Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Wilmette, IL

I didn’t get into the wedding industry because I was the little girl dreaming of my wedding day. I love story-telling, I love love, and I love people who want to laugh and have a great time because they realize that life is short and beautiful. Wedding photography is all of those things at once; every time I go to work it’s the best day of someone’s life. How cool is that?

I stumbled across AJ on TikTok after another creator I followed tagged her in something, and let me tell you, that was the best click I’ve ever made. AJ talks often about her “daisy chains” (people who book and rebook for progressive life events) and it’s so clear why her clients are so loyal. We had her take our engagement pictures and also document our welcome party and wedding. She has such a great eye for the perfect, unique shot, but even the expected photos came out incredible. She was at a little higher price point than some of the photographers I looked at, less expensive than others, but I will tell you she was worth every single penny I paid her. She also is just a wonderful person to work with – she did a great job putting us at ease in every interaction, facilitating our personalities really coming out in the photos, and was just funny, and personable, and kind. My guests repeatedly (and well after the wedding was over) made a point to tell me how much they liked her and how comfortable she made them. I will also tell you that I am not terribly comfortable with myself and particularly being photographed and she not only made me calm the heck down but she helped me to be comfortable enough that she got absolutely stunning photos. 10/10, definitely hire her, and let this be a lesson in trusting your gut when TikTok leads you down a rabbit hole to the perfect person for the job.

I've been photographing weddings now for over a decade, and if I'm being totally honest with you, I had expected to burn out on this gig years ago. Instead, here I am still falling more deeply in love with it -- with those hugs and big laughs and tears and nervous jitters, and all the big and little moments that make up your days. Every second of it feels so special to me, and the fact that I get to capture that will never cease to blow my mind and fill me with gratitude.

We absolutely loved Brooke!! She was able to efficiently get people where they needed to be on the day of. Her documentary style makes you feel at ease and you’ll still get those perfectly posed moments too. She was so helpful placing accessories and flowers for the perfect shot. As the bride, i felt less stressed when Brooke took ahold of the day. We can’t thank her enough!!

I'm an artist by nature. I love photography, but I also love to paint. Growing up I could color for hours. I come from one of those families where everyone is passionate. Things are really loud and your mom asks you when you've eaten last when you walk in the door. If you come from one of these families, you know exactly what I mean. When my son was born I picked up a camera and embarked on a challenge to learn as much as I could about digital photography. I love to be with people and I love to make people feel good about themselves. We should all have a hype girl and I'd love to be yours.

Sarah not only takes amazing photos, she has an easygoing personality that puts you at ease on your wedding day. Her organizational skills make the day run smoothly and keeps the stress away!
