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!

“We cannot recommend Kate enough! From the moment we met her, she made us feel completely comfortable and celebrated our love with so much enthusiasm. As a queer couple, it was important for us to work with someone who not only respected but truly celebrated queer weddings, and Kate went above and beyond. She took the time to help us clarify our vision for our wedding photos, which was especially helpful since we only had 6 weeks to plan our wedding and felt a little overwhelmed by the process. She was a great guide and we immediately knew we were in good hands! Kate’s associate Ryan shot the photos on our wedding day and they captured every special moment—from the big emotional vows to the smallest, most intimate glances—with such artistry and care. The photos are breathtaking, full of life, and truly reflect the joy of our day. Right when Ryan arrived, they jumped in with capturing photos of small details and worked to capture everything we wanted for our special day. Kate and Ryan were both an absolute delight to work with—professional, fun, and incredibly talented. If you're looking for a photographer who will make you feel seen, respected, and celebrated while delivering stunning photos, look no further. We are beyond grateful for Kate and Ryan and will cherish these photos forever! Thank you for making our wedding memories so magical!”

Hi, I'm Ashley! A Chicago wedding photographer with a love for capturing fun-loving and adventurous couples. From the I do’s to the epic dance moves, it’s my passion to capture authentic and candid moments created and inspired by one-of-a-kind couples! My process is simple. Document your day and create a vision with you: together we’ll create a seamless day that doesn’t feel like a posed photo shoot. I am LGBTQ+ friendly and support inclusivity and diversity.

“Ashley is incredible and we cannot recommend her enough! As an LGBQT couple we were looking for someone who not only make us feel comfortable but understood posing for a same sex couple. Starting from our initial kick-off call to our engagement shoot and through our wedding day Ashley was nothing short of amazing! She made us feel at ease and like someone we had known for a lifetime. She was knowledgeable and helpful when it came to picking out a location and poses for our shoots during our engagement session and wedding day. Ashley was prompt, patient, understanding and brought a much needed sense of calm on our wedding day itself. Let's face it, weddings always have a curveball and Ashley was able to go with the flow and help my husband and I feel immediately at ease while still capturing the day. Every photo delivery we would receive, was better than the last. We thought we couldn't be happier after seeing our engagement session and then we received the photos from our wedding day. Ashley captured not only our special moments of the day but the details (flowers, table settings, bar set up, guest book set up etc.) and we couldn't be happier. Quality service, quality photos, quality across the board. At the end of the day Ashley feels like family and that's more than we could have ever asked for!”

“I absolutely loved working with Audrey for our wedding! I had to write her a review. I found her for her beautiful photos but I'm most happy with my choice in her, for all the rest of the little things. We met with her to discuss engagement shoot and wedding photos and she was so thoughtful. She asked questions I hadn't even thought of and it was from those questions that really helped me plan the rest of the wedding day of. She gave me a photo timeline that was absolutely essential. The rest of my vendors were given her timeline and they were so thankful at her level of detail too. I appreciated the thoughtful small touches. The way she asked about any complicated family dynamics, who our chosen family was, who she should highlight etc. I appreciate that she didn't come with assumptions and asked questions, so gently. I've found that's rare in the bridal world. I would 100% recommend Audrey to anyone we know and absolutely loved our experience with her. We went with a second shooter and we loved Olivia too! They both did fantastic work and were so thoughtful and professional. Thank you for all you did for Mike and I, Audrey! We will always remember you as a the one who kept us all together!”

I was that kid enchanted by Disney Princess movies and the idea of "true love". My true love revealed itself through photography. At 8, I grabbed my dad's camera and was hooked, thrilled to show people my world. I started with zoo animals, friends, and siblings, eager to freeze moments in time. As I grew, I learned from local photographers and knew by 17 that photography was my calling. Since then, I’ve captured love in all its forms: couples, new parents, best friends, and the joy of seeing your favorite band live. The world is full of magical firsts, and I'm honored to capture these moments forever.

“Kaitlyn and her husband are just absolutely amazing. My husband and I are not the most used to being photographed, and they completely take the awkwardness out of it. In the moments where it was harder for us to be “candid”, they helped us by giving us prompt type things to follow and it helped so much! Kaitlyn and Jake are both so kind, down to earth, and talented, and were so helpful outside of photography needs throughout the day as well! Jake helped my husband and his groomsmen figure out how to work their cufflinks, and she helped myself, my mother, and my maid of honor button my dress. Kaitlyn did our engagement photos as well, and we already have another appointment booked! We’ll work with her forever if we can.”

When it seemed like the Photo Booth we had hired was not going to show up, she quickly helped me come up with a Plan B and offered to help take photos of the guests and the props so that the guests and couple would still get the pictures they had intended. I was stunned by her generosity all day long. Winterlyn is the kind of photographer who deeply cares about her clients and couples and I hope to work with her again and again.

We couldn't be more pleased with how great the photos turned out, with Tim grabbing moments that we hadn't thought were special at the time but ended up being some of the highlights of the day. He was incredibly communicative and proactive, and always responsive and open to ideas we had.

Documentary.Creative imagery. Unique perspective. With over 18 years of experience PHOTOGRAPHING weddings, we've developed a documentary approach that allows couples to be fully pResent on their wedding day while knowing every important moment is being captured.

“Booking Lilly Photography for our wedding was one of the smartest decisions we could have possibly made. Even in our initial consult call with Jiho, we were very impressed with his skills. We also very much appreciated the logic behind his pricing structure--we had a small wedding but still needed full day coverage, so we were able to book collection 2 but remove the second shooter. After we booked, the timing just worked out that we had our engagement session 5 months before our wedding at the Morton Arboretum, which is not a particular scenic time of year (I have to stress, this date was our choice!), but Jiho was able to take some gorgeous photos! We loved sharing those photos, and it gave us so much confidence that he would knock it out of the park for our wedding. Everything on wedding day was absolutely seamless--Jiho was super efficient with the getting ready/first look photos, and we stayed on schedule. The ceremony photos are gorgeous, and I especially love that in some of the photos I am able to see my personality in so many of the photos (I had initially felt worried that the photos wouldn't look like "me"). After the ceremony, the family and bridal party photos were very thorough AND efficient, and I'm so grateful that we have all the different perturbations of family members--all the other weddings I have been in have not been able to do that. It was quite hot and buggy when we took the photos, but absolutely none of that came through in what Jiho captured (which is honestly incredible!). The cocktail hour and reception photos are so fun, and Jiho was able to capture absolutely everything. After the wedding, we got our gallery in 3 weeks, and we haven't been able to stop smiling as we keep looking at the photos. We are so grateful and so thankful we worked with Jiho!! 10/10 would recommend!”

“From the moment we booked JNA Visuals, Jayde and her team were a dream to work with. Their communication was always quick, attentive and thoughtful, putting us at ease throughout the planning process. On the day of our wedding, Jayde and her second shooter made me feel beautiful and comfortable in front of the camera, even though I'm a bit shy being the center of attention. They expertly captured all the special moments. The final photos were truly stunning - creative, unique, and beyond anything we could have imagined. We are more than thrilled - thanks so much Jayde!!”

All our lead wedding photographers and videographers have around 15 years experience in the wedding field, covering and experiencing all kinds of lighting scenarios and true life stories.

“We are thrilled with our photos and video from Red Barn! We hired Red Barn for our photos, videos, & photo booth. Our contract stated that everything would be ready 60 days after our event, but Elena sent our full gallery & both videos back to us after only 37 days!! We were SO excited!! Our lead photographer was Bogdan & Elena was our second shooter. Their presence and professionalism at our wedding was excellent. They helped us stay on time, guided us to take the best photos (we are not naturals in front of the camera), and ensured we got every shot that I put on my list! We love the mixed formal and candid photos that they took of us. Bogdan & Elena worked flawlessly with our videographer. We got the highlight video & the full video, they are beautiful & capture our wedding day perfectly! Our guests loved the photo booth & my husband & I love the album that we got of the photo strips! I would highly recommend Red Barn for your wedding photography, videography, and photo booth services!”

King & Opal

  • Editorial style
  • Serves Riverside, IL

For the wild, in love. Chicago-based love story + portrait photographers with a passion for creative experimentation. We use both modern digital & vintage film cameras to create imagery that is timeless in character & emotion. Always down to travel – there's no denying the breathtaking beauty of places like the Pacific Northwest, but even a small patch of wildflowers in a midwest backyard holds its own charm. From botanical gardens & private estates to small dive bars & industrial lofts ~ wherever we find ourselves, you can trust that we'll artfully capture what will become your cherished memories.

“We absolutely LOVE Mariah and King & Opal! From the start, Mariah was wonderful to work with. Not only is she responsive, organized, and reliable, but her creative eye and photography skills are unmatched! We are beyond thrilled with all the photos we received from our wedding weekend, including candid, detail-oriented shots that really captured the feeling, mood, and ambiance of it all. We cannot recommend Mariah and King & Opal enough. Best decision we made!”
