I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Ali! She reached out to me on Zola and I am so glad she did. I was impressed with her portfolio and I really loved seeing how she would capture little moments in the weddings she had done. We set up a video call before booking and we clicked. She is very calm and helped with my pre-wedding nerves. She worked with us on a payment plan and she was always very quick to respond to any of my questions. She really listened to what we wanted. She got to the venue early to scout out different shots and came to check in with me a couple of times before we even began taking photos, which I did not expect but was very sweet and considerate of her. When we were taking photos, she really helped to guide the more “posed” photos but she also captured a lot of beautiful candid moments. We had so many guests come up to us and compliment her and that was before we even got the photos back. She sent us our sneak peeks the next day and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. She captured so many beautiful moments and her style is exactly what we wanted. Nothing felt “overly edited” just perfectly genuine. I cannot recommend Ali enough. I cannot wait to see the full gallery of photos because I know they will be nothing short of perfect.

Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving and laughing. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I got you!

Lacie was absolutely phenomenal to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. From the moment we jumped on a phone call to see if they were a right fit, I knew they would be. Her enthusiasm, understanding, outgoing way that she relates to people is an energy that you want on your big day. Our engagement session was incredible, she moves so quickly but efficiently, as to ensure you get all the shots you want, but is very mindful of time. Our wedding day was COMPLETE because of Lacie. In addition to her positive attitude, she helped smooth the timeline of events during the day when exterior factors were impacting the photography, and problem solved so wonderfully on the spot. She stepped in to help in moments that were above and beyond what we hired her for, and for that I am truly grateful. Her photography style is versatile and beautiful, specifically catered to your preference. I can't imagine a better photographer for our wedding and we are so grateful!

Our experience with Xenia and Mark (videographer) was truly amazing. Xenia is truly a dedicated professional and her camera work is truly phenomenal. We booked Xenia for both our engagement and wedding photos and she completely exceeded my expectations! We originally booked Xenia and Mark for our wedding in May but unfortunately our wedding venue closed last minute and we were left to scramble in finding a new venue and once we did Xenia was so accommodating and made the new wedding date work. Xenia and Mark are super easy to work with; truly genuine individuals! I scoured through hundreds of photographers before I came across Xenia and honestly, none of them compared to her work and eye for photography. Stop your search and book her; I promise you won't regret it. Thank you, Xenia and Mark!

Being the daughter of first-generation immigrants, I saw how precious photos become in life. Some photos are the only tangible connection we have to a person or place that is dearly missed. Thanks to my dad, I was introduced to the world of photography the same day I was introduced to the world. Because of my parents, our memories growing up are preserved. When I was 6, I received my own camera, marking the beginning of a lifelong dedication to documenting every aspect of my life.

Photography is an artistic escape I love to have fun with! I enjoy meeting new people and stepping into their lives while capturing the love is something that sparked my joy. Photography has been a full time passion of mine since I picked up a camera in 2017. I love spending most of my time out doors in nature so I've kind of got the whole location scouting down to a 'T'. Let's go somewhere beautiful and make some memories.

Emily was incredible! I truly don’t have words for how amazing our experience was with her! Working with her was fun, easy and her photography skills are top tier! My wedding photos look out of a magazine! I cried when I saw them. They were more than I could have ever imagined! I’m so thankful I came across her work and had the pleasure of working with her on our special day.

From the very beginning, Alyssa knew exactly what was going on and asked all the right questions to ensure our big day went off without a hitch. Her communication was amazing - she was always quick to respond and worked with us closely to get everything we could ever want. Alyssa's photography style is very simple and elegant, capturing all the special moments in a beautiful and timeless way. She even went the extra mile, doing a few tasks that helped everything blend super smoothly. We are thrilled with the final photos and couldn't be happier that we chose Alyssa Johnson Photography to capture our wedding memories.

We are Amber French & Michael Sessa, a married photographer team. We love to cook, travel, skate and most of all our little pup Leo. We love working together, we've made it our full time job since 2009. We take portraits on land and by drone. We are now introducing videography to our packages! We would love to meet you

Amber and Mike are true gems. Not only are their photos just breathtaking but they are such awesome people. They made our day go so smoothly! They never pressured us to rush, they actually helped us enjoy every moment of the day and take our time so we didn’t feel stressed. They had such unique photo ideas and it made the day such an adventure. I feel like we can look at the pictures and be totally sent back to that day-they just captured every emotion so beautifully. They were so professional about every aspect of our day, but made us feel so comfortable at the same time. I usually feel awkward to have my picture taken but they made it fun! So thankful for them!

A creative soul, a love for romance, passionate to tell your love story. I am always seeking for true connection between humans, the genuine real type of connection. I believe, at the end of the day, these true moments, even the smallest ones, are what mean the most. Weddings are filled with these fleeting moments and the fact that I get to document them, stop time and hand them to you to be remembered forever means more than you may ever know. I can't wait for our paths to cross, to hear all about your ideas and plans for the day.

We LOVED our engagement photos but our wedding photos were/are something to obsess over. She captured the whole day really really well. If there was one thing that I would change I would just want more pics of the 2 of us laughing and having big genuine smiles. Sometimes getting your pictures taken can be a little awkward so anything to help with getting those big smiles on camera helps.

I've been shooting unique, non-traditional, very-traditional, queer, straight, weird, normal, sexy, just-plain-fun weddings for over a decade now. Don't think your wedding falls into that category? Don't be so sure. Your unique love deserves to be documented whoever that may look. If you want bad-ass photography that stands out, all while having fun doing it, we're what you've been looking for. Let's connect. We'd love to hear your love story.

I haaaate having my photo taken. I was super anxious about the whole process going into it. It takes a certain amount of trust to let someone photograph you... Jay and his Bellocq team were A from start to finish. We were blown away by A) the sheer amount of photos given back (they don't cap their packages at certain photo counts) and B) how seamlessly the entire collection flowed together from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for more. We will definitely be re-booking them for our family photos (first baby on the way!!!) in the future. Jay is incredibly kind and fun to be around, and just puts you at ease. That is the first thing you'll notice when you meet. Can't recommend Bellocq enough!!!

Jun is the creative mind behind blanc. He is rarely without his camera in hand, spurred by his passion, curiosity for people, places, and his fascination for the art of photography.​ Over the past twenty years his work has been published and exhibited worldwide. His work & time is split between long term personal projects, commissions for private and commercial clients, promotions, and charitable organizations. His interest in photography began at younger age in the darkroom, with recognition and winning numerous awards, in 2001 he began his career as a visual storytelling photographer.  Jun currently lives in Oahu with his family. 

From the moment we first reached out to Jun, he was fun, accommodating, and joyful to work with. His communication was great from start to finish, and we could tell he was genuinely excited to be a part of our special day. The quality of his work is truly impressive - his photographs are precise, artistic, and filled with beautiful, intricate details that we'll cherish forever.

I want to capture all your in-between moments, those are my favorite, the way you guys sneak looks and steal kisses. I don’t want to be just another person who shows up and waves a black box in your face. I want your photos to represent your effortless connection, the closeness with your person, and all the other things that make you guys YOU! I am inspired by your love and I want to capture YOUR raw and real story. I want to tell it through my photos. And the fact that no else has been in my shoes, I see the world through eyes that no one else has. That’s what makes me different. Also NO TRAVEL FEE anywhere in the states!!

We got married in June 2022, and even now looking at our photos and video has us in disbelief at how Ruzin beautifully captured our special day. It’s like we’re viewing someone else’s wedding, but it’s actually ours! Throughout wedding planning, she went above and beyond for us and we can’t truly express our gratitude. She takes the time to get personal and get to know you well and understand your vision to help take it to the next level. We’ve seen many wedding photos, but hands down ours were the best. Choosing her was the best decision we made!

Hey there, I’m Virge Simone and I want to capture your love story. One of my favorite photos is one of my late grandfather holding my now 19 year old daughter when she was just a few days old. The photo was taken by me and I would guess with a basic point and shoot camera so the quality is not the best, kinda blurry, the colors are washed out but I LOVE that photo. That photo signifies to be to always be present and in the moment, because that’s the last photo I was able to take of my grandfather. As a photographer, that photo tells a story, its dated, its memorable and its timeless.

Virge Simone Images provided excellent photography services for my clients wedding. Their communication was always timely and professional. Virge responded to emails promptly and was very organized leading up to the big day. The quality of Virge's work is superb - the photos are crisp, clear, and artistically composed. They perfectly captured the emotions and special moments of our wedding. Virge was also extremely helpful on the day-of, directing people for formal photos in an efficient yet friendly manner. They were able to get all the shots we wanted while keeping things moving smoothly. The final wedding album shows Virge's creative eye and captures the spirit of our wedding beautifully. We felt like Virge was invested in our big day and cared about delivering exceptional photos to remember it. As one of the top wedding photographers in the business, Virge exceeded our expectations and we'd highly recommend their services.

Hello! My name is Brigette and I am based out of the Chicago land area, but make it my mission to travel for photography as much as possible! I love the color purple, crazy hats, funk music, & all things outdoors! Traveling is my number one passion! I LOVE connecting with couples and getting to tell their love story authentically. I like to connect my subjects with nature and use natural lighting to create breathtaking images that emphasize my love for the natural beauty we find outside every day!

Brigette Burgman Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From start to finish, Brigette's communication was efficient, organized, and personal. Her dynamic, captivating photography was full of emotion and truly captured the essence of our special day. Brigette helped us stick to the timeline by getting all the pictures we wanted, and she was incredibly flexible when I got tired during our portrait session, quickly adjusting the structure to keep me comfortable. As a planner myself, I sometimes struggle to let go and be in the moment, but Brigette's calm, kind demeanor put me at ease. The final photos exceeded our expectations - they are exactly what we had hoped for and more. We are thrilled with Brigette's services and cannot recommend her highly enough!
