About Victoria Mcdonald Photography

Victoria Mcdonald Photography

Owner/Photographer

Hi! I’m Victoria, a Wedding photographer based in Chicago's Northwest Burbs. I have developed a photography style that mixes Documentary and Editorial that helps me share all the JOY that comes with a wedding day. It focuses not just on connection between you and your partner, but the connection you have with those you love enough to be apart of your day.

I am a storyteller, yes - you have heard that a million times in your search. Only I really am. When I am not documenting real-life love stories, I am writing about ones that don't exist. The writer in me has taught me that there are unique details between the big moments of the day that shape the uniqueness of your story.

BURST Events

Typically, couples book me about 8-12 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.

Sometimes, I offer to add a 2nd shooter options on each package and occasionally I bring an Assistant to help with lighting. If I have extra people with me - you will now beforehand.

Absolutely. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. I also offer retouching services like blemish removal and teeth whitening for an additional charge or on Images that you choose to print.

No, I prefer focusing on photography only, so you can get the best wedding pictures possible, however, check my vendor list for my favorite Video people.

My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 3-4 weeks after your wedding. However, A few days after the wedding I will send a handful of sneak peeks your way so you have fresh images in your pocket for the honeymoon.

I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.

(knocks on wood) I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of the many amazing photographers in the Chicago network that I am a part of or my contact my studio mate. You will not be without a photographer. I will do everything in my power to make sure you are covered.

YES!! If the packages that I have built don't speak to you we can make one together that better suits your needs. We will put that together during your consultation.

YES!! Absolutely. I travel within reason of course. Planning a wedding somewhere fun and want to bring me with - let's chat!!
