Original Weddings was hands down the greatest thing that could have happened to us when it came to documenting our wedding. These professional photos are INCREDIBLE. I'm not easily pleased with photos of myself so you can trust that I'm not out here giving praise to just anyone! I don't know how they pulled it off, but I seriously love every shot. We ended up getting over 1,100 photos that captured the entire evening and it's undeniable that Diallo and Michael are masters of their craft. Diallo also did our engagement photos and managed to get every shot to look amazing despite the fact that the weather was actively working against us. He made that wind work, let me tell you!!! On top of the talent of the photographers and the editors, the entire team has unbeatable professionalism. From the very start we had no trouble at all receiving guidance, answers to questions, and support. I could not send higher praises. Book them for everything!!

IG PHOTO VIDEO INC. was the perfect photographer (we had two photographers and one videographer) for our wedding day. From the start, their communication was receptive and responsive, with quick replies to our emails. The quality of their work was excellent - the photos are clear and crisp, with a wide range of styles captured. Ivan and Tae, the two photographers, and Svitlana, the videographer, were all a pleasure to work with. They asked thoughtful questions to understand the specific details we wanted captured and helped facilitate smooth coordination with the bridal party. The price was very reasonable for the great quality photos and video they delivered, which perfectly documented all the small details of our special day. We're thrilled to have 50 4x6 prints to cherish, as well as a USB with all the photos and videos.

I highly recommend this company to take photos at your wedding! We loved our photographer Percy. He was incredible, and so helpful. He came with several cameras and valued all of our ideas, and when we became stumped he offered ideas for us to try as well. He was very professional, kind, caring, and always on top of the game taking photos. Towards the end of our night he started to put the camera away and brought it back out to catch a few final moments. He was on top of responding to all questions before, during, and after. He took photos of me and my husband before the ceremony and got some wonderful shots (it was a 95 outside wedding so this was much appreciated because we all had some sweat on our faces). But before we got Percy and our booking process with eivans it was super simple, and just an overall great experience.

Hey! I'm Mackenzie - mom, photographer, wife and book + latte obsessed! Ideal day starts with a latte and a bagel sandwich (because going out for breakfast is the BEST) and ends with a good book. Throw in a photoshoot or wedding in the middle and I'm set!! I have been a professional photographer for 14 years now focusing on couples, families and small businesses. I am not a fan of super stiff posing so I use prompts and play games to capture your personalties and relationships. For weddings, most of your gallery will consist of candid shots of your day helping to tell your story. I'd love to chat with you more!!

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband & I can’t say enough good things about Mackenzie and Lex. We did an engagement shoot as well as our wedding photo/videos with them. They were extremely easy to communicate with and our pictures are AMAZING. I made a mistake in communicating what videos we wanted & didn’t realize it until a couple of months after our wedding. Mackenzie was so understanding & put together what she could so that we can still have some videos, we are so grateful for that! We plan to use them for any future photography needs because we loved them so much!

AwestrucKen Photography focuses on ensuring great moments in time are caught. As much as we are tech/gear heads with regards to equipment, we also know that the greatest piece of equipment any photographer can have is his/her brain. We pride ourselves on using our brains and our gear to not just take pictures, but to tell stories. While pictures, as Dorothea Lange says, “take an instant out of time; altering life by holding it still”, it’s also important that each instant of time is part of a person or event’s story.

Ken was the absolute perfect addition to our special day! Obviously you cherish your wedding photos forever and we could not be happier with them! On our big day, he made sure to get the most beautifully stunning yet natural shots that we envisioned while making sure we were comfortable and having the absolute best time.

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.

I work with all different budgets and needs from my brides. I'm a preferred vendor of Chicago First Lady Boat, so I do weddings on the boat during the summer.

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!

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!

She was someone we had trusted since day one and we knew that our wedding day would go perfect with her capturing it. She made both of us feel so comfortable when it came to taking those awkward pictures but they turned out perfect. On our wedding day, we had some technical difficulties that caused some delays and Shannon was super chill about it. We felt guilty that she stayed a little longer than she needed to make sure she captured the dancing portion at the end of the night. We cannot thank her enough for everything she has done for us and we strongly recommend her to those looking for a wedding photographer.

Consider your wedding photography fully taken care of by booking Susan, she needs to be at the top of your list!

My name is Abby, owner of Wren and Rose Photography! I am based in the western Chicago suburbs and I am all capturing authentic moments and good vibes. 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!

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!

Your photos shouldn't just look good — they should feel like that day. I shoot candid and real, then shape the edit around it: deep contrast, muted distractions, and your story right front and center.

I could not be happier with my experience! Brady has done my engagement photos and my wedding photos and from start to finish, he was professional, friendly, and made the entire experience fun and easy! If you’re using him for your wedding, he takes away all the stress and makes sure to pay attention to every little detail! He captures every special moment and so much more. If you are looking for high quality photos and someone who is spunky and ready to do it all, Brady is your guy! I know I will be booking with him again.
