Hi, I'm Ashley! I'm a professional wedding photographer based in Northern Illinois! At my core, I’m a giggly, bubbly, empathetic goofball with a welcoming heart. I've had roots in the wedding industry for a while now and have taken on many roles and worn many hats in this profession! In addition to wedding photography, I'm also a wedding coordinator and work for my local florist! I thrive in environments where I can be intentional, present, loving, empathetic, real, raw, and share in this space with others. This is the driving factor behind my “why” and where my passion for photography and the wedding industry takes root.

“Where in the world do I start with my girl Ashley?! When planning my wedding in 2024, I knew one of the most important things during the process was to find an amazing wedding photographer, and sure enough we did! My husband and I got SO lucky. From the beginning, Ash made us beyond comfortable at our engagement shoot (it was our first time ever taking professional photos) AND we had a blast even though it was absolutely freezing that day. During one of the most stressful times of my life planning the wedding, she was the most amazing support, giving the best advice and sweetest comfort throughout the wedding process. Ashley helped make our wedding day go by so smoothly, helped calm my nerves with her warm presence and did an AMAZING job with our photos. She helped capture the most beautiful parts of our day and was so determined to get rainbow pics that we were so lucky to have. Ash was not only the best wedding photographer and her work is beyond beautiful, but she's also become a close friend of mine. I truly am so glad we found each other, I will forever be grateful for our girl! Don't think twice, I promise you won't regret booking any shoot with Ashley!”

“Stephanie is just incredible! We hired her for our big day and had our engagement shoot with her downtown. We had never had photos done before and had no idea what to expect. She took incredible pictures of us but the best part was she made us feel like we were just hanging out with a friend and it made it all worth it because our pictures showed our awkward but fun side because we felt comfortable. Fast forward to our wedding day, we had to reschedule our reception due to Covid so we didn’t have a ceremony but we did have all the time in the world for photos and we made the most of it. It gave us all the extra time to do a first look with the best man in a wedding dress, and more. We didn’t worry about our timeline but we never felt rushed when times were going back to back. She checked in with us multiple times to make sure we had what we needed and took pictures of all the fun details so now when we look back we have all the memories and can enjoy the night like a guest. Fast forward to this year, we loved working with her so much as our family is expanded we reached out to have her do our pregnancy announcement photos AND our newborn photos with our little man. It is so special to find someone you trust and can deliver exactly what you need and more. Cannot recommend Stephanie and her team enough!”

I’m a photographer who genuinely loves people and the art of storytelling. I don’t just show up with a camera—I show up as your biggest fan and your calm in the chaos. On your day, I’m fully in your corner, cheering you on, keeping things light, and making sure you feel comfortable being you. I believe the best photos come from real connection, laughter, and those in-between moments you didn’t even realize were happening. I’m known for being super funny, easygoing, and great at bringing out natural smiles—because if you’re having fun, the photos will feel like you.

“5 stars is not enough for Michelle!!! We spent a lot of time searching for a photographer because of how important it is to look back at your photos since the day is such a blur. We are beyond grateful we trusted Michelle with this. She’s not only incredibly fun, but she is extremely professional and knows exactly what she is doing and how to pose us for photos that are unrecognizable. Both my husband and I consider ourselves to be “awkward” and we could not even believe the photos she was capturing for us. Even on our wedding day she was so excited to share some of the photos to my phone that she was taking during the day. It made me so excited and so proud to show our family what she was doing behind the camera and how incredible our photographer was. So many people were so jealous as they did not get the same type of privilege on their wedding day. She is worth EVERY penny we spent and we can’t stop looking at the photos she captured for us as we re-live our day with so much happiness!!! She is the best and we will continue to trust her with all of our photos going forward!”

I like to say that I am the wedding photographer for the rad souls and the groovy lovers, but truly everyone is welcome here. When it comes to my approach to wedding photography, I am big on really getting to know you two, learning about your love story, understanding your vision, and working collaboratively to ensure your day is as stress free as possible. I may be your wedding photographer, but relationships are so important to me with each client I work with.

“Abby was absolutely wonderful every step of the process for our wedding! I loved her energy and excitement for us and the process from just getting to know us over the phone, to working together in person. We weren’t going to do an engagement shoot, but as time went on we started getting FOMO and asked Abby if she could accommodate it last minute. She made it happen and the pictures were amazing!! It got us so so pumped for the wedding day. She posed us when needed but also stepped away at just the right moments to capture sweet candid moments. Her and her team are considerate, polite, and skilled!!!! We are OBSESSED with our album. You cannot go wrong hiring Wren and Rose!”

Documentary Wedding Photography for Couples Who Value Real Moments: A wedding isn't a photoshoot. It's a day filled with moments that will never happen again—a nervous smile before the ceremony, your dad's expression as he sees you for the first time, the hug from your grandmother that lasts just a little longer than expected. Those moments can't be staged, repeated, or recreated. That's why I photograph weddings the way I do.

Hi, friend! I’m Devin, a wedding and portrait photographer based in Lombard, Illinois. I serve Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, Milwaukee, Rockford, and I’m always up for an adventure. I absolutely love celebrating with my couples on one of the best days of their lives! I’m always up for an adventure! I’ve never met a mountain that I didn’t like. I love my dogs (all dogs TBH), Leslie Knope, and the Great British Bake Off. I would love to hear about your story and your vision for your wedding day!

“My husband and I hired Devin for our 2021 wedding....after it had been postponed due to COVID - it was a stressful time! The absolute silver lining is that Devin was SUCH a good fit for our vibe: she put us at ease and took photos that were vibrant and fun (rather than tender and serious). She got to know us and photographed us "as we wanted to be seen." The other component of this is that when we received our wedding (and engagement) photos, they were all excellent. I am CERTAIN that Devin had to cull through a bunch of awkward shots....but the ones she sent made me feel super attractive always. Excellent judgement on her part! Reviewing our wedding photos let us relive the day - it captured not only the visuals but the *feel* of the day. Since then, I've also hired Devin to shoot musician headshots for me, with the same experience. I would hire her again with enthusiasm!”
