Erik Anderson - Photography, LLC.

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Clare, IL

I'm a 34-year-old husband to Samantha, our son Silas, our soon-to-be daughter Fiona, and our wiggler companion Moxie. I've been a wedding photographer for 11 years, having photographed over 300 weddings and countless other sessions! My hobby is also my job, and you bet my wife loves that, haha. I am also a stay-at-home dad, a philatelist, a Lego freak, and a craft beer nerd, and we have an orange fridge, haha.

Awarded Best of Zola
The quality of Erik's work as a photographer is unparalleled. He truly captured the "light, bright, airy" aesthetic that I loved when I first started researching different styles. He is highly detailed oriented which is a must for somebody like me who really notices all the little details. He went above and beyond by traveling to our engagement shooting location all the way in Madison, WI! When it came to shooting the big day, Erik orchestrated everything perfectly including calming me down during a stressful moment, making us all laugh, and capturing all the "good angles". From the first few photos I received, his work made me feel absolutely beautiful. When I shared with others, the first thing they commented was: "Wow, Your photographer KILLED it with the wedding photos!" Extremely high quality editing....Erik is worth every penny and I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Chrissy Deming Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Clare, IL

I'm Chrissy and I'm a documentary wedding photographer with 10+ years of experience who fully believes that your life deserves to be documented truthfully. My focus at your wedding isn't to steal you away from your family and friends for hours to make "art," but to empathically capture the moments and relationships present at your wedding. Your wedding photos are the single most important wedding investment you'll make. After the day is done and over, they will be what tethers you to your memories of your day. They will be the heirlooms you'll pass down to your grandchildren to hang on walls and sit on bedsides for generations to come.

We loved Chrissy! She was fun and easy to work with, and I loved that she provided color and black/white photos. She did everything on our list, and listened to our ideas as well. Nothing felt forced or over-posed, but she was great at guiding next moves when needed. Will definitely use again for future photos.

  • Serves Clare, IL

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

“Our photographer really took the time to connect with us, and we found that we shared a lot of common interests! She made us feel very comfortable, and completely followed our desires for candid and more relaxed photos. She was amazing at posing and directing us, as well as going with the flow and capturing what was happening in the moment. We couldn’t be more happy! We love all of the photos taken outside- our couples, wedding party, and golden hour photos feel so genuine and organic and I think that’s what our photographer really excelled in. Our golden hour photos specifically are very romantic and magical- definitely our favorites! I cannot give enough praise to the level of communication given during the planning process. Wedding planning is hard and it gets tricky to keep track of everything. From Darcy at the start getting us booked to Hannah throughout the planning process, I was so grateful for the texts and emails keeping me updated and on track. I am very grateful to have found OLAS, and have already recommended them to my friends getting married next year.”

Pedro was awesome! We were looking for a local (in Chicago) photographer, and found the perfect one. He was super easy to work with, and took amazing pictures.

I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Mae was an absolute pleasure to work with. I knew I liked her from the very first call. She was thorough and asked good questions to make sure she could capture what we wanted. I love the vintage-inspired look of the photos and video. She communicated when she said she would and I always received a quick response to any questions or messages I had. On the wedding day, I couldn’t imagine anyone who would make it as special as Mae did. She was more than a photographer- she helped me put on myself shoes, hyped up all the little details I stressed months over, and was just such a joy. I cannot recommend Mae enough. I loved all the photos and the video made me cry. Mae is the type of person you want to be friends with after everything is done. Trust me, book Mae!!

We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him. We got our pictures back today - and they’re so much better than we could have dreamed of. It’s no wonder he was featured in Vogue - his work is artistic, candid, and beautiful.

My name is Jana Blue and I've been photographing weddings for 12 years. I'm consistent not in a trend of photos or style, but emotions. Each wedding and couples are so unique and my work follows that. In my career I've photographed both big production weddings and also intimate DIY ones. I've photographed informal engagements and elopements/weddings in a desert in Chile, in the mountains of Zion, in a beach in Croatia, in an ancient church in Greece and in forests in Brazil. 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.

She exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond with delivering the most stunning and breath taking photos. From the very start, Jana took the time to get to know us as a couple and was with us every step of our planning journey. Even with a family emergency, Jana went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and she delivered an unforgettable experience I will forever cherish. Jana herself radiates so much light, joy, creativity, and passion, and her presence alone made everyone around feel all the good vibes. Jana will work with you and will give you so many great options. Her packages are perfectly curated and she will deliver. Anyone who gets to work with her and her team are incredibly lucky!

I captured my first wedding in August of 2018, it was the day I fell head over heels in love with wedding photography. It's all about capturing the love story for me..the feels from beginning to end. When you book with AGS, you're signing on for an adventure. Your engagement session is a celebration full of us getting to know one another, lots of laughter, and having fun! As your wedding nears closer AGS will help with your timeline, connect with your vendors ( or introduce you to some of the best) and help plan out the perfect photo locations, along with any other needs to create the perfect day.

I am a bit late, by bit maybe a lot... but we got married in September. Not only did Arleigh keep me grounded, but she was such a help with introducing me to an amazing wedding planner. Since day 1, Arleigh listened to my needs and worked with me to create the perfect package withing my budget. On our first meeting Arleigh was straightforward, communicated well, was professional and really made us feel so secure in our decisions. The day of, she was on top of every detail and moment, and although to me it went by in a blink, she captured every special moment with warmth and feeling. Our album came arrived within 2 days after we placed our order, and as I looked through our album, it was like reliving every moment all over again. Friends and family loved working with Arleigh and Joanna the day of. Everyone loved our photos, that I was even asked by something borrowed blooms to be featured in their marketing ads. If you are looking for beautiful, romantic, and just great aesthetic photos, Arleigh is your girl!!!!!
