  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Riverside, IL

I’m Reyna, the heart behind Sea Circus Weddings. With over 12 years of experience as a wedding photographer, my passion for wedding photography is inspired by my grandparents’ enduring love; their wedding photos are cherished pieces that guide my work. I strive to create heirloom, film-inspired images that celebrate genuine emotions and joyful moments. I live in a charming Tudor house with my husband, our two little girls, and our cat, Goose. In my free time, I enjoy camping, cooking, and getting lost in a good book.

Maura Black Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,200
  • Serves Riverside, IL

I’m Maura – Chicago based wedding photographer to the stars (that’s you!) and I am so pumped you’ve found my little corner of the interweb. Your wedding day is going to be beyond-your-wildest-dreams amazing and beyond that, totally unique. Sure, you’ll put on “The Dress”, exchange your “I do’s” and probably cry at some point (or at all points!) but your wedding day is 100% completely and utterly yours. I am here to help make this the best day of your life while creating heirloom art that tells your personal love story. I offer planning support and insider advice at every step of the journey to ensure nothin'-but-net on your Big Day.

Maura is truly an artist and we were so lucky to have had her capture our wedding day in September, 2024 at Firehouse Chicago!!!! Our pictures are so special and she captured some really beautiful moments on our wedding day that we know we'll treasure forever. Maura was recommended to us by a friend of a friend, who said "Maura was the single best decision she made for her wedding," and now we couldn't agree more! Maura was amazing and easy to work with from start to finish- she was easy to communicate with leading up to our engagement shoot and our wedding, she provided a super helpful guide after booking, she has the best personality to keep you cool/calm/collected and looking your very best in photos, provided great direction for posing that didn't make us feel to awkward or uncomfortable, she helped us develop a perfect wedding day timeline and kept us on track day-of, and she more than anything rolled with the punches as our day went on! Maura was willing to step in anywhere for anything to ensure we were stress-free and enjoying our day, and that all the little moments were captured. One of the great things about booking Maura is that you don't need to wait months and months for your pictures - she sends a sneak peak the day after engagement shoots and weddings so you've got something to look at and enjoy while you await the rest a few weeks later. The pictures that we got the day after our wedding had us in tears. Not only were they beautiful, she somehow was everywhere all at once, and captured our special moments from every angle. I can't wait to see the rest of our gallery, and I know that we'll treasure these photos forever. I wouldn't hesitate to book Maura again, and I would recommend her to anyone in search of a photographer. She is the best!

Dabble Me This

  • Serves Riverside, IL

I made a conscious decision early on in my career that I wanted to LOVE what I do and do what I love. With a bachelor’s degree in graphic design and photography you could say I’m one of the few that stuck with my major and still love it to this day. I’m a helpless romantic, a wife, a mother, a worldwide traveler a marathon runner and a wedding photographer. Deciding who will bring your memories to life is one of your most important ones. When the whirlwind and excitement of the day is over, beautifully captured images will be what help you revisit the romance, emotion and spirit of all of those little moments.

Christine was an absolute dream to work with! Shortly after booking Christine for our November 2, 2019 wedding we scheduled our engagement shoot with her - during the shoot we knew we hit the jackpot. Christine was calm, cool, and so easy to be around - she provided super easy direction and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We couldn't wait to spend our wedding day with her! Christine was incredibly organized throughout our planning process. Leading up to the wedding day she created a very thorough timeline for the day - which was necessary given the size of our bridal party and families and the logistics of the day. Everything ran so smoothly on wedding day and Christine captured all the shots we wanted - our families and bridal party loved working with her too. And, of course, our photos are absolutely stunning! We couldn't be happier with our experience - thank you, Christine!!

Photography By Lauryn

  • Starts at $8,000
  • Serves Riverside, IL

I'm just a suburban girl who decided to turn her dreams into a reality. I'm all about building relationships and connections. After all, that's what wedding photography is all about. I do this job every weekend because I'm one of those people that is obsessed with pictures. Not just for a living, but for myself. I understand the value in photography. I do this for people who are just like me. For the ones who cherish those photos hanging on the walls. The photos still in that purple glitter album from 2002 of you and your friends in Limited Too. Those memories are all we have from the anchors that built us. Photos are proof that we have lived

Awarded Best of Zola
Lauryn is not only a spectacular photographer, but her organization and lively personality make working with her for your wedding such a great experience. We were nervous about engagement photos as neither of us are super comfortable in front of a camera, but she made us feel at ease, knowing exactly how to guide us and make us feel natural. We are a type-A couple, so Lauryn's professional platform was another huge benefit to working with her. Lauryn's portal houses all your information, she sends regular check lists and questionnaires to ensure she has everything she needs and is extremely communicative. This made us feel so supported throughout the planning process. Lastly, on our wedding day she was such a pleasure have with us. She corralled our friends and family to get things done efficiently without sacrificing quality--allowing us to enjoy our big day to the fullest. We received a sneak peek within a few days, and the full 1,000 images in less than 2 weeks. And they were STUNNING. We couldn't stop reliving our wedding day through her photography, and we'll forever be grateful for Lauryn's talent.

Cristina G Photography

We are Cristina & Constantin - image makers, globe trotters, architecture fiends. Love, fashion and art drive and inspire our work. We split our time between our home base of Chicago and the cherished landscapes of our childhood in Europe, offering local (no travel costs) photo collections for select Euro and US locations.

Awarded Best of Zola
Cristina is too wonderful for words! She is an absolute joy to work with and her photos are beyond stunning. Neither my husband nor I have any idea what we’re doing in front of a camera, and Cristina could not have been kinder or more patient with us during both our engagement photos and wedding day. We brought along our dog for our engagement photos, and Cristina never batted an eye during his less-than-cooperative moments. She made the engagement photo session a complete breeze and so much fun from start to finish. Her partner, Constantin, joined for the wedding day, and they made the most incredible photography duo. They captured all the important moments and ensured that we got every last photo we wanted. They also handled corralling everyone for large family photos in an extremely timely and orderly fashion. They’re both so lovely, fun to work with, and take the most incredibly beautiful photos! I could not recommend Cristina (and Constantin!) more highly.

Janet D Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,200
  • Serves Riverside, IL

I'm a former educator turned full-time photographer. I started Janet D Photography to combine my creative eye with my love for working with people. I want to capture your love story through my images! I specialize in wedding and lifestyle photography, and I strive to capture memories with a light, fun, and modern photo style. I'd love to hear from you!

Where to begin.. From day one, I knew Janet would be capturing our wedding day. Her portfolio is impressive but her knowledge and professionalism is what truly takes the cake. Not only did she help me but when my mom had questions regarding ‘getting ready’ photos, Janet assisted my mom personally and helped answer any questions she had. When COVID hit, Janet was sympathetic and understanding. She checked on me numerous times after our initial postponement. When we realized our wedding was about to be postponed for a second time, we decided to have a small ceremony at our home. Janet jumped at the idea, gave us additional suggestions and recommendations and literally was there every single step of the way. Janet and Jeff were professional and exceeded any expectations we had for our unconventional day. They were there at every moment, ready to capture shots I never would have expected or thought of. I promise, you will not regret having Janet as your photographer. She truly was the best decision we made in our wedding planning process. We cannot wait for Janet and Jeff to be there with us for our reception in the future!

M28 Photography & Films 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Serves Riverside, IL

I’m all about art and creativity. I absolutely love photography and capturing moments for families and couples. It means a lot to have people appreciate your work and cherish it because it means a lot to them. It’s also cool to have clients who not only enjoy my work with M28 but also become a fan of my own personal projects. I am an activist in every sense of the word. I advocate for issues that speak out against injustices and inequality in an attempt to make the world better for our children.

The Summerset team is the warmest and most professional team. We were nervous about finding a photographer we felt comfortable with, since my husband and I are on the shy side when it comes to photos. Since meeting Mack at a wedding event, we were instantly drawn to working with them. Since then, each person from their team that we worked with was incredible. The process starts off with a call where they get to know you and based on what you are looking for and wanting, they match you with a photographer that is a good fit. And they did such a great job matching us. We worked with Dominique as our lead photographer and had so much fun with her at our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. For our wedding we worked with Dominique and Marcus for photography and Mack as our content creator. They made us feel comfortable and made sure we had fun throughout our wedding. Not only that, but they brought incredible energy. As an added challenge for them, we also have incredibly camara shy family memebers that they were able to take out of their shells and made incredibly comfortable. After spending just few minutes with the team, us and our families were comfortable posing and taking photos, as they almost make you forget there is a camara there. It has only been a few days and because we had the content creator package, we already got an amazing video and previews of our photos. We have no doubt all of our photos will be incredible, and the videos that were captured were so special. They were able to find moments for us to connect with one another in the midst of a lot of activity. Could not recommend them enough.

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Booking Grace and Oury Memories just three and a half weeks before our wedding was a stroke of luck! From our first meeting to the wedding day, Grace's professionalism and warmth shone through. She effortlessly directed us and our families during wedding sessions, ensuring every shot was perfect. I'm sure that Grace's creative ideas for poses will add a unique touch to our album, capturing the essence of our love story beautifully. We look forward to seeing her photos in about 8 weeks. Her calm presence on the day put us at ease. Grace is not just a talented photographer; she's a joy to work with. Thank you, Grace, for immortalizing our special day so beautifully!

Hey, I'm Mary! It's nice to meet you. Summing up who I am in an "about me" is always difficult. What you must know: (1) I'm a nerd. If you want to talk video games, LOTR or Doctor Who, we HAVE to sit down for a bourbon or a coffee. (2) Yes, I will be out on that dance floor with you snapping away while joining in on the fun. And (3), while I'm a photographer first, supporting you during the planning process feels crucial to me - from building a timeline to having your back any way I can.

Awarded Best of Zola
We got very lucky finding Mary as our photographer. She was our photographer for our engagement party, engagement photos, and the wedding day. She always made time to talk and keep an open line of communication! She was great at making us feel comfortable and giving directions (which we definitely needed). Mary is also extremely thoughtful and I really appreciate the little things she had done to make everything as perfect as possible!

What started out as a hobby, evolved into a great passion. With a camera on hand for every event, I spent my lunch money as a young kid developing films at the photo store. I became so fond of capturing as many organic moments as I can in photographs and fell in love with the idea of telling people's stories in images rather than words. I started venturing into professional photography right after my own wedding to my high school sweetheart, Erick, which was back in 2014. I LOVE everything wedding-related. My favorite to photographs are the wedding details, the bride and groom portraits and anything that will make me either cry or laugh!

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Michelle was the best choice my wife and I made during our wedding preparations. Her photos are stunning. True professionalism, skill, and a keen eye for capturing those happy moments. But best of all, she has a warm personality which made working with her feel easy. She was able to photograph our Indian wedding with such class, that these memories will remain with us forever.

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

From the moment we reached out to Birchfields, their communication was quick, thorough, and sincere. Their attention to detail and ability to make us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera resulted in exceptional photographs that captured every special moment of our wedding day. Birchfields truly went above and beyond, taking unique angles and perspectives that allowed us to relive the entire day through their stunning imagery. When it’s hard to figure out which photo you want to print out and hang on the wall, you know you picked the right photographer! We could not be happier with the final product and would highly recommend Steve to any couple looking for a talented, professional, and personable wedding photographer.

Hey there! Kataryna here. Thanks for checking out my work. I never thought that I would have the opportunity to meet you and everyone else that I have throughout my photography journey. I started photography in high school and fell in love with all that my camera and I could do. In my college years at the University of Iowa, I was able to strengthen my photography skills by taking an internship with a wedding company. Shortly after graduation, I moved back to the Chicago suburbs and began growing my business. A few years later, and I am extremely grateful for everything I have been able to accomplish. ​

Kat Beatty Photos is one of our favorite photographers to work with! She has a beautiful editing style and is a master of the candid photo. She's professional, kind and easy to work with. We're always excited to hear when our couple book with Kat. Book her and you won't regret it!

A POET WITH A CAMERA IN HER HAND: I’m Ayla — pronounced “eye-luh”, like “I love you” — and I never quite grew out of seeing things the way I did as a kid: heart first, bright eyed, curious about everything and particularly drawn to movement and pretty light. My travels, my writing (certified art school kid), and my big family have brought me from that inquisitive, emotional child to the woman I am today: knee deep in wonder & riverbeds, usually mid-laugh, and so full of gratitude for my life I can hardly contain it to language.

I’m a little late on my review, my husband and I got married dec.30,22 and we came across Ayla through another photographer that wasn’t available and let me tell you that was the best thing that could’ve happened for us! To be genuinely honest Ayla is one of the most caring, kind and considerate people I’ve ever met. She worked with us with our budget and tried to make things the least stressful she could for us through the whole wedding process and on top of all of that the pictures were BEYOND AMAZING! She worked with so much Patience with my huge family and was just so much more than we ever could’ve hoped for. And did both digital and film for us both for engagement photos and wedding. If I could leave her more stars I would! Don’t keep looking for another photographer just book Ayla

I'm Erin. I'm a photographer, traveler, and wide-eyed wonderer. I split my time between the Midwest and my bungalow near the beach in Oceanside, CA. My favorite pastimes include exploring Disneyland, watching Schitts Creek & Ted Lasso, and cuddling my dog. I have a loud laugh. I love cabernet franc, chocolate chip cookies, and I'm on a constant search for the best tacos in the world.

Erin is an incredibly warm person and immediately made us feel comfortable during our engagement shoot. We had never done a shoot like this and were nervous and worried about feeling awkward, but her easygoing demeanor and natural instructions took all the stress off of us and we really enjoyed the experience. Erin has a detailed eye and a talent for capturing the natural beauty of the outdoors which was important to us. After our first great experience, we asked her to shoot our wedding as well on a cliff overlooking Sedona, AZ. She captured the scenery and golden hour lighting in breathtaking shots that were flattering of us and perfectly captured the grandeur of the red rocks around us. We will treasure the photos forever. Thank you Erin!
