Wedding Photography in Illinois

Frank was awesome! We booked a Photo Booth within a month of our event & he answered all of my questions and was a big hit the day of. All of our guest loved taking silly picture in the enclosed Photo Booth and we loved seeing the photo book that everyone signed afterwards. It made the event extra fun!

We used MBD for our DJ and decided to go with a photographer with them as well – wanted to streamline the number of vendors we dealt with. Great decision!! Planning a DJ and Photographer was so simple with MBD having one coordinator for us to work with ahead of the wedding. Taylor was assigned after letting them know the type of photographs we were looking for. I had an intro meeting with her as I wanted to be sure we at least had some rapport before making final selection. She was so nice and immediately seemed like a great fit. The day of she was spectacular. Our timing was a little off schedule, and she worked with our Coordinator seamlessly to keep us on track all while still ensuring we captured all the pictures we wanted. At the wedding and reception, she was everywhere, yet very unobtrusive – you didn’t notice her unless you were trying to notice her. She blended right in with everyone. While we won’t get pictures back immediately, we’re looking forward to seeing the final outputs.

George Street was such a good vendor choice. They matched us with an amazing photographer and the entire team was beyond helpful with emails & reminders. We love our pictures and how helpful the team was!

She makes magic. I booked Odalys for my graduation pictures, and honesty i was so nervous. I’ve always felt like I don’t look good in pictures or never know how to pose. But she guided through everything and made be feel so comfortable and somehow capture the best version of me. The photos came out beautiful. If you are thinking about booking her, just do it. You won’t regret it. She is amazing!

Shannon was a doll! She was so sweet, positive and great energy all the way around. We did our engagement session and our wedding day with her. She was professional, nice and made us feel so comfortable! She is well priced, and the quality is great. We loved every moment we had with her. Highly recommend!

Karl went above and beyond what I needed. He is also professional and open to creative ideas.

I cannot express my gratitude enough for our amazing wedding photographer, Madi! From start to finish, she made our special day feel so graceful and effortless. Leading up to the wedding, I was a bundle of nerves, but Madi’s calming presence instantly put me, my wedding party, and our families at ease. She felt more like a friend tagging along than just a photographer, seamlessly blending into the celebration. Her warmth, friendliness, professionalism, and incredible organization truly shone through. The humor she brought added to the incredible vibe of the day, making everything feel relaxed and joyful. Now, let’s talk about the photos—wow! Each image is breathtaking and perfectly captures the essence of our day. Madi has an incredible talent for finding the most beautiful moments, from candid laughter to the most heartfelt glances. Every shot tells a story, preserving the joy and love we felt throughout the day. The colors are vibrant, the emotions are palpable, and the details are captured beautifully. I genuinely can’t thank Madi enough for the stunning memories she created for us. I wish for everyone to have a Madi by their side on their wedding day! If you’re looking for a photographer who not only delivers stunning images but also enhances the overall experience, look no further.

Essence was incredible to work with for our wedding. We used the photography, videography, Photo Booth services as well as the groomsmen formal wear. This is such a well run and professional vendor who anticipate all your questions and have great communication. We liked that there was a backup photographer or videographer available just in case. Filling out the wedding worksheet made it great to have a plan together for the day off. Then our meeting the week of our wedding with our photographer Kari confirmed and reviewed these details. Kari, Joe, and Kenneth were an awesome team for our ceremony and reception and even braved the elements while it rained during our planned photo time. Absolute pros!

Candace is truly amazing. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she has a great heart. My wife and I absolutely love our wedding photos and will always smile when we reminisce about our special day. Candace played such a critical role in our wedding and we cannot thank her enough for the amazing job she did. Our expectations were sky high and she exceeded those by a mile. I’d highly recommend to book with her because not only will you be getting the best photographer, but also an incredible person.

We worked with Jason and his wife Stephanie for our wedding on 9/28. We had actually seen Stephanie's photos first but could not be more thrilled that we had Jason there as well. They showed up 30 minutes early and immediately started to work. I had a few small requests for photos and they took absolutely every vision that I had and made them so much more amazing than I could have dreamed. They truly seem to love their jobs and it shows in their work. We received the most beautiful preview just a few days after our event.. and it consisted of about 90 photos. Each more beautiful than the last. We are endlessly grateful to have had them capture our day. One hundred percent recommend Jason and Stephanie for any life event.
