About
Hi, friend! We’re Caitlin & Luke, and we’re MORE than photographers. ♡
We're an Illinois wedding photography team for joyful, classic Caitlin and Luke Brides, parents to our son Grayson & our doodle Oliver, and a married couple living life in Central Illinois!
Since 2011, we’ve been serving IL & destination brides who desire a stress-free, streamlined & joyful engagement and wedding by providing an experience that allows our couples to fully enjoy this special season and receive jaw-dropping, joy-filled photos they'll pass down for generations!
As newlywed wedding photographers, we know exactly how you’re feeling: You can't stop staring at the new bling on your hand, and you've never been happier in your life. We've been where you are, and we’ve built a business on what we learned as a bride & groom in order to make wedding photography the most joyful, easy part of weddings!
Our joyful, authentic and enduring photography chronicles your wedding moments and establishes your marriage legacy, so you can authentically relive your wedding day for decades to come.
WHO WE ARE:
We’re best friends and a married couple who can usually be found spending time together… with our son Grayson & doodle Oliver, of course! When we aren’t home as a family, we’re probably working in our cozy office {with a Capri Blue candle burning!} or traveling to photograph our Caitlin & Luke Couples! We also love dinner dates, whether we’re dressing up for tacos & a margarita at our favorite spot, or cooking at home with Ben Rector music playing in the background. We are asked often if we like working together full-time, and the answer is 100%, YES!
WHAT WE VALUE:
Our photography style is completely centered around you! This means that, although we adore the tiniest details of your wedding (I mean, that ring you can’t stop staring at is pretty gorgeous!), we’re most passionate about celebrating who you and your fiancé truly are through photos that LOOK the way each tender moment FELT! Our goal for your wedding day is to go above and beyond the must-have, magazine-quality wedding photos you’re daydreaming about… but also to freeze time during the most intimate moments you’d never remember if it weren’t for your wedding photographs.
In our images, colors are real & rich, emotions are raw, joy is evident, couples are comfortable, & moments are authentic. If this is how you want your love to be celebrated, you’re in the right place!

THE BEST Wedding Photographers!
On our wedding day it was forecasted to rain all day, but luckily the rain held off until our indoor reception… then it was a downpour with a tornado warning! We can attest Caitlin and Luke will be there for you- rain or shine…or even through a Tornado on your wedding day! Not only were they so professional through a tornado but really saved the day many times on our wedding day. My veil got ripped off when I was walking down the aisle and Caitlin immediately put it back in place (I attach a picture below of this happening because really she SAVED the day)! I give specific examples such as this because truly they are THE BEST! Caitlin and Luke are really more than an excellent wedding vendor, but became friends for us during the entire wedding planning process. After 3 wedding dates and 3 years we cannot recommend them enough!
The absolute best photographers and friends!
First, the photos are INCREDIBLE!!! They have a unique ability to capture the beauty and the feelings in their photos. Caitlin and Luke are simultaneously professional and the best hype crew around. Also, they are SO fast with their sneak peeks and galleries! We knew we made a great decision when we chose them as our photographers, and we never could’ve known how seamlessly and flawlessly they helped us make our dream day happen.
We can never thank them enough, not just for the beautiful photos, but more so for helping us troubleshoot and problem solve everything with the timeline and when all the hiccups inevitably popped up. Caitlin and Luke are grace, calm, and encouragement at all times, and we are forever grateful!!!! Thank you for a lifetime of memories and for being the very best humans and friends and photographers! 💕🥰
Wonderful photography duo!
Then we had such a wonderful experience meeting in person for our engagement session! My husband and I are not used to being in front of the camera, and Caitlin and Luke made us feel so comfortable. They were also very COVID conscious and made us feel safe.
Fast forward to our wedding day, and these two went above and beyond! They took amazing photos, kept us on our timeline, and even gave us some snacks and water during our long and busy day. We had our wedding ceremony a month ago and our friends and family are still raving about our photos! I can’t imagine our wedding day without them : )
The most amazing and talented couple!
My now husband and I got engaged in the Spring of 2019, and a coworker of mine recommended Caitlin and Luke as she had just booked them for her own wedding. Our wedding was planned to take place in Milwaukee, WI and I was thrilled to learn that this duo supports not only Illinois brides, but also travels to Wisconsin, Indiana, etc. From the booking process, to our engagement session, all the way through to our wedding, they were there for us every step of the way: responsive, attentive, empathetic and kind. We were one of the many couples whose wedding plans were impacted by covid. We had to change our date and our plans dozens of times. It was stressful and challenging, but Caitilin and Luke could not have been more supportive or flexible. They rolled with all of the punches, offering help and sweet words when we needed them most.
For our actual wedding date we had the pleasure of working with Elle and Krystal (two of Caitlin and Luke's associates) who were amazing! They captured the true joy of our wedding day and were a blast to work with. They were up for all of the different locations we wanted to stop at - including the roof of our venue, The Historic Pritzlaff Building! Caitlin and Luke had a blog post of over 200 photos ready for us to review less than 5 days after our wedding! I will never forget the memory of checking my email on our honeymoon and getting to relive the best day of our lives. Caitlin and Luke captured some of the most important points in our lives and we are forever grateful to them for that! We are so excited to continue to keep in touch with them, and hopefully book another shoot with them soon. Every couple that has the pleasure of working with this team is truly lucky!
Amazing Photographers in Central IL
On our wedding day, we decided to do a first look (I highly recommend it!) and my fiancé was so nervous; afterwards he told me that Luke talking to him right beforehand is what calmed him down and eased his nerves! You will not find a more genuine and selfless couple than Caitlin & Luke. They put their heart and soul into their business. On top of that, the photos you will receive are impeccable! We wanted wedding photos that were bright and vibrant and showed the joy of the day and the photos we received absolutely met all of our expectations! We had so many compliments from our family and friends on the quality of our photographs. When you book Caitlin & Luke, you are not only booking your wedding photographers but you are finding two new friends who will genuinely dedicate themselves to your wedding experience and ensuring you have the absolute best day.
