Working with Winterlyn was a wonderful experience - from beginning to end!

I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for amazing photos and a photographer that truly cares about your experience. Upon booking, Winterlyn sent us a welcome booklet with great information to prepare us for both the engagement photos and wedding day photos. I was originally on the fence about booking the package with the engagement photos but SO happy we did. It gave us the opportunity to get to know Winterlyn, her shooting style and get comfortable posing in front of the camera….we also got beautiful photos we used as part of our wedding day decor!

We got married during the busy wedding season, and while I had to reach out to some vendors multiple times to hear a response…this was never the case with Winterlyn. She was always responsive, organized, flexible and detail oriented which was much appreciated during the very stressful wedding planning process. She was also a great resource and scheduled time with us to help develop a photography timeline for our wedding day. On the day of the wedding she was a familiar and calming face throughout the whole day - and we actually got to enjoy the process of taking photos with her and her assistant. We absolutely LOVE our wedding photos. And we were blown away by how quickly she worked through the editing process to deliver the final photo gallery. Overall, Winterlyn is professional, delivers beautiful photos and was one of the best decisions we made when booking wedding vendors!

It was an amazing experience working with Winterlyn for our wedding and engagement session. She has a calming energy and continuously gave us complements, which made us feel more comfortable in front of the camera. She also has such a quick turnaround for delivering photos (especially ones from our wedding day), so we never waited too long before we could reminisce on those special memories.

Her flatlays are to die for, and she did a phenomenal job incorporating culture elements into our photos (which was super important to us). We trusted Winterlyn’s vision throughout the entire process, and we couldn’t be happier with how our photos/album turned out. Would highly recommend Winterlyn for any photography needs.

Nathan and I got married on September 6th, 2025 at The Langham. I had originally found Winter through a friend (she had shot her wedding as well). I am SO glad we did. Winter is professional, easy to work with, and soooo efficient. She came to our walk through and helped us think of locations that would be beautiful and weighing walking distance so we wouldn’t have to shuttle- we got the perfect pictures, and had a little extra time pre-ceremony to soak everything in! I had zero stress knowing Winter was handling our day. She is truly the sweetest person and you will not be disappointed- the first time we saw them our jaws drooped- her images are STUNNING. We absolutely love our photos, and what we remember most about our wedding is how much fun we had! Book with Winter if you want beautiful images and peace of mind that your day and memories will be in exceptional hands.

If you are looking for photographers and are hesitating to choose which one to go with, PLEASE stop searching and choose Winterlyn. You will have a stress-free wedding day that will result in some of the most beautiful pictures you’ve ever seen and will get to keep that memory sake forever. My husband and I were incredibly lucky and grateful to have Winterlyn as our photographer at both our engagement shoot and at our wedding. There aren’t enough words in the dictionary to praise her talent, professionalism, organization, and warm personality. On the day of our wedding, my biggest concern was our complex getting-ready timeline and I quickly realized I had nothing to worry about because Winterlyn was so on top of everything, thanks to her impeccable timing and energetic spirit. And seeing her on the morning of our biggest and most hectic day of our lives was like a breath of fresh air and what kind of bride doesn’t want that :). We can’t forget to thank our second shooter, Antwonette, who was also amazing to work with and anyone who works with Winterlyn, we knew we could trust completely!

After our wedding, we received our sneak peek gallery so fast and we were very thankful to have seen them right before our honeymoon. The moment we opened our gallery, both of our jaws dropped at how beautiful the pictures were. I wasn’t sure how much more we could be impressed with Winterlyn’s work and she proved us wrong! Through Winterlyn, I learned that pictures can be taken in a way that when you look at it, you can remember exactly what you felt in that moment. When I look at our gallery, I see a story being told where every picture has meaning behind it and it showcases what an artist Winterlyn is.

I can say with full confidence that she will always go above and beyond for her clients not only because she is your photographer, but also because she truly cares about you and bringing you joy through her work. We cannot thank Winterlyn and her team enough. It was absolutely the best decision we made during wedding planning.

First, I am SO incredibly happy I went with Winterlyn to capture my wedding day! As soon as she got to the venue, she went to work and did not stop until she left for the night. I appreciated her work ethic, professionalism, advice, and creativity. Her personality made it easy to have a great day, even in the midst of a little chaos. Also, I have to mention her second shooter, Antwonette, was a pleasure to work with as well!

Second, the sneak peak pictures....BLEW ME AWAY! I wanted light, airy, magical pictures, and she delivered beyond my wildest dreams (and I only have seen the sneak peaks). Between the detail pictures, portraits, groups, ceremony and reception, Winter sure knows how to capture the magic of a wedding.

If you are looking for a photographer, Winterlyn is hands down the best!

Thank you for everything Winterlyn!

Working with Winterlyn was an absolute joy and breeze from start to finish. From our first introduction call I could tell she was a professional, talented, experienced wedding photographer who was going to take care of us in every way. From our engagement session to our wedding day to gallery delivery day, it was a seamless process and gave me such peace of mind during an incredibly crazy time.

Now let's talk about the photos! She not only over delivered but captured every moment beautifully and had our gallery to us in 4 weeks - WHAT!!! Unheard of and so appreciated.

Photos are the one thing you will have with you forever from the day and booking a photographer was my hardest decision as I knew how important they were. But once I met Winterlyn, saw her work and the care she gave her clients, I knew I was in good hands. The engagement session was so helpful for us, we got to know Winterlyn better, get comfortable in front of the camera, and made the big day even smoother than it was already going to be with her behind the lens.

Highly recommend working with Winterlyn for your wedding and any photo needs!! Can't wait to order prints and have them in our house for the next 50+ years.

Winterlyn is an absolute joy to work with. I cannot recommend her enough!

When I hired her to take photos of my proposal to my fianceé, she went above and beyond. She worked with me from the beginning of the entire process, including brainstorming ideas, helping me to come up with the best possible plan for my situation.

Day of, Winterlyn captured the moment beautifully. We're not used to being photographed, but she made us feel so comfortable. She both let us be in the moment with each other, and suggested a variety of poses. It felt very organic, and I felt like I was in great hands throughout the entire session.

Finally, Winterlyn edited and sent over the photos within just a few days of the shoot! We were so excited to share the news with our friends and family using her photos, and she made that possible. The photos, of course, are stunning. We'll be cherishing them for a very, very long time.

Winterlyn captured our most precious moments in our engagement shoot! We told her what we hoped to achieve and she did all of that and beyond! On top of her amazing photography skills, she also has a sweet & fun personality!! Appreciate all the work she did. Thank you for making it hard for us to choose which photos to use in our save the dates!!🤍

Winterlyn is a warm, professional, and super talented photographer. The process of working together was smooth and easy from start to finish. We are very happy with the photos and would highly recommend her!!

Winterlyn is an AMAZING photographer and person! My now fiancé and I didn't know what to expect with this being our first photoshoot ever. She was very professional and responsive when it came to all of our questions. There was even a questionnaire to get to know us a little more prior to the shoot. We thought it was going to be a hard thing to plan, as we live in out of town. The hardest part was searching for photographers we liked, but we saw Winterlyn's work and how reasonable she is and had to jump on it!
The day of, Winterlyn was early and ready to get started. She came with such a positive attitude and made us feel comfortable from the very beginning. We did not expect to climb up on things and run across the street BUT it was so worth it!! We did an outfit change and booked for 2 hours and the time flew.
We definitely recommend if you're looking for an awesome photographer in Chicago!
Our pictures came out soooo beautiful! We look like we should be in a magazine 🙂. We will be using them at our wedding.
