Awarded Best of Zola
“From the moment we booked, we knew we were in great hands. Our photographer was incredibly easy to work with from start to finish. Communication was seamless, she was always prompt and clear, and she made the entire planning process stress-free. On our wedding day, she was more than accommodating and truly went above and beyond to make sure every moment was captured. She had a wonderful eye for detail and somehow managed to be everywhere at once. We have not found a single moment we wished we had a photo of. Her ability to direct poses made everything feel so natural and effortless, which is saying a lot because neither of us are particularly comfortable in front of a camera! Looking back at our photos now, we are so grateful. She did not just document our day, she made it something we can relive over and over again. If you are looking for a photographer who is talented, professional, and genuinely makes your experience better, look no further. We cannot recommend her enough!”

What started out as a hobby, evolved into a great passion. With a camera on hand for every event, I spent my lunch money as a young kid developing films at the photo store. I became so fond of capturing as many organic moments as I can in photographs and fell in love with the idea of telling people's stories in images rather than words. I started venturing into professional photography right after my own wedding to my high school sweetheart, Erick, which was back in 2014. I LOVE everything wedding-related. My favorite to photographs are the wedding details, the bride and groom portraits and anything that will make me either cry or laugh!

Awarded Best of Zola
“We are forever grateful we chose Michelle as our wedding day photographer. From the planning to the wedding day she was prepared & made everything so easy. Our engagement photos & wedding photos are perfect and she captured our story just the way we envisioned even including our perfect puppy Maui. She made sure to get all the important shots day of wedding & went above and beyond the entire day making sure my husband and I didn’t don’t forget any important photos. We received our entire wedding gallery so quickly after the wedding. Michelle is beyond professional and truly makes sure your wedding is photographed just the way you want.”

“Jake is so much more than a wedding photographer—he’s a true visual storyteller. Every photo he took is filled with emotion, intention, and artistry. Looking at our photos now, I’m instantly transported back. He captured not only the big moments but also the quiet ones: stolen glances, joyful guests, the delicate details of our table settings. He saw everything without ever being in the way—so calm, so observant, so low-maintenance that we barely noticed him, yet he gave us the most complete and beautiful memory of our wedding. His attention to detail and his ability to see the full picture and the tiny moments is truly special! Jake made us feel totally comfortable in front of the camera, never forcing poses or interrupting the flow of the day. Instead, he brought our photo ideas to life with his own artistic touch—elevating them beyond what we imagined.

I’m Gracelyn, the face behind the camera and someone who truly cares about the people in front of it. I picked up my first camera at 9 years old, photographing my siblings and creating little photoshoots just for fun. After rediscovering photography post-COVID, I instantly felt that same joy and knew this was my dream. I photographed my first wedding two years ago and am now stepping into my first full season. My style is light and airy, blending documentary storytelling with true-to-life portraits, capturing both meaningful details and emotional moments.

“Touch of Grace felt more than a professional wedding photographer. She felt like a friend throughout the whole process. We were very comfortable and she was very accommodating in every twist and turn that comes with a wedding. She even stayed extra time to capture our cake cutting! We gave her our images and she was able to quickly navigate between each one efficiently. What makes Touch of Grace so special is the final editing. We were taken back at the marvelous work and attention to detail. Thank you Grace for capturing our special day and giving us everlasting memories!”

“I can't even begin to describe how absolutely amazing and wonderful our experience was with Moira! When we first contacted Moira she called us to go over our questions, and her services, it was so nice to be able to have a conversation about what we wanted and what she would provide! In the time leading up to our engagement shoot, I had changed my mind on location multiple times and Moira was extremely understanding and helped my vision come to life! We took our engagement pictures at the public library where I met my (now) husband and even took some pictures in the rain at our favorite park! Moira worked thru the downpour and got some AMAZING shots! Leading up to our wedding we met with Moira to go over timeline and she helped to make sure we would have enough time allocated for everything we wanted. On our wedding day Moira was punctual and extremely amazing to work with! We had to move some things around timeline wise and it all worked out beautifully. Our pictures are absolutely INCREDIBLE. I'm obsessed with them and she captured our day perfectly.

She was very integral with our wedding day planning as she helped figure out what time sunset photos would be and when to start the ceremony based on this! On the Wedding day, Her and her second photographer communicated very well together and made us feel like models the entire day! They worked very well with our videographers which could have easily been chaotic! To our surprise, my husband and I received the sneak peeks 12 hours after our reception ended! They were stunning!

I've always loved taking pictures and for as long as I can remember, without even trying that hard. Everyone in my life was always telling me I take such perfect pictures, until one day I believed them. As an adult, it started with my own dogs: every Christmas I'd take their holiday pictures because they're cute and I had a camera. Somewhere along the way it became a real business. I'm in Kankakee, Illinois,, I'm easygoing and a little silly, and now I photograph weddings, families, maternity, and pets with a warm, unposed style that catches the little moments people actually keep. I'm small and I like it that way ! it means every session gets all of me, and your photos get treated like they matter, because they do.

“I cannot recommend Abby enough! She has photographed both me and my dogs, and every single time, she has gone above and beyond to make the experience so comfortable, fun, and genuinely enjoyable. She has such a talent for capturing the little moments and personalities that make each photo feel so special. She is also incredibly patient and wonderful with my dogs, which means so much to me! You can truly tell how much care and passion she puts into her work. The photos always turn out absolutely beautiful, and I’m so grateful to have these memories captured so perfectly. If you’re looking for someone who is talented, kind, patient, and truly cares about making your photos special, I highly recommend her!”
