The Talented Photographer was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Alec's communication style was fun, professional, and incredibly personable. He had a true passion for his craft that shone through in every interaction. The quality of Alec's work was absolutely stunning - we got a wonderful variety of candids, formal shots, and editorial-style pictures that captured all the special moments of our day. Alec has an incredible eye for the right shots, and the final photos are absolutely gorgeous. Despite a complicated location schedule that I was worried about, Alec made the whole day seamless, traveling to over 4 different spots to ensure we got all the groupings and special shots we wanted. Alec truly went above and beyond, and we had such a great time working with him. I'm obsessed with the pictures and would give him an 11/10 rating!

I truly found a love for storytelling once I got into weddings. Weddings are these multifaceted community of stories and relationships that continue to keep me fascinated and excited about capturing them. I find that my style leans towards an editorial, storytelling side, with hints of sophisticatication, hues of modern relevance & overall timeless imagery.

Jesi B. Photography was absolutely fantastic to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, she was incredibly responsive and provided great direction throughout the entire process. As a photographer myself, my wife and I knew how important it was to find someone truly exceptional, and Jesi B. exceeded our expectations in every way. The quality of her work is simply top-tier - the photos are stunning and truly captured the joy and beauty of our special day. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without Jesi B. Photography, as she took care of everything seamlessly. We are so grateful to have found her and would not hesitate to use her again in the future. Very glad we did!

When we found Brit, we knew we were gonna get good photos. But what we didn’t expect was to have those moments and feelings captured so beautifully that we can relive them over and over each time we look at them. We didn’t expect to find a photographer that would quickly become a great friend. Brit has been there for engagement shoots, portraits, family shoots, and she just photographed our wedding day. And she will continue to be there to capture every important moment of our life in the future. This is her passion, and there is no doubting that when you see her work.

​As a documentary photographer, I go with the flow and discreetly capture each magical moment as it unfolds, telling your story as honestly and authentically as possible. No trends. No awkward poses. Only joy, emotion & storytelling.

Awarded Best of Zola
Amiran is a fabulous photographer. We knew we needed someone who knew traditional wedding poses for all the family photos, but we really wanted more candid shots in both the wedding and the reception. She did not disappoint. She’s got the static shots with family, and the wedding party we needed - but the candid ones are the ones we fell in love with in our portfolio. She is professional and kept communicating with us throughout all the changes leading up to our wedding with the venue issues we had, and went with the flow that day. She made sure she had everything we were looking for, and made our day so simple. She even went along with my maid of honor who decided to play photo stylist at the end of the day! I cannot say enough about how perfect Amiran was for our wedding!

My husband is my second photographer, so we come as a photo team! 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 so you look and feel natural and comfortable. 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!

Awarded Best of Zola
PictureMeThisByLacie was one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding process. Lacie was amazing to work with the entire time. She was easy to communicate with and kept us updated on our photo timelines, not to mention all of our photos turned about AMAZING. Our package included an engagement session and Lacie worked out a weekend she was already in Chicago to accommodate us. Leading up to our session, we had issues with controlled fires and protests in our preferred location, but Lacie found us a spot that blew my expectations for photos out of the water. She gave us a sneak peak and also got our pictures back to us super quick. On our big day, Lacie and Tim(her husband/second photographer) were the best to work with. They made us feel comfortable and captured our day better than we could have imagined. As soon as they got there, they got straight to work. Lacie got all the details and getting ready photos that I will cherish forever. Things were running behind the day of and they let us add on an hour to our contract the day of and pay at a later date. This ensured that we got dance floor photos and it was so worth it! Specifically getting pictures of my husband's grandmother in her 80s dancing with all her grandkids. We received a sneak peak very quickly and our whole (massive) gallery less than 2 months after the wedding. For as many photos as we got, this was a crazy quick turn around. Overall, PictureMeThisByLacie captured our day better than we could have ever imagined, we could not recommend them more!

Love Knot Photography

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
A few things that stood out the most about Isaac were how responsive he was, how he was able to accommodate to our budget, and how he took pictures from angles and views that turned out great on the photos. As a couple with demanding careers, I much appreciated how quickly Isaac was with replying to emails. We had a pretty tight budget, and Isaac was able to offer us a package that landed pretty close to our budget and only had the items that we needed the most (mini engagement photoshoot for the website and wedding day). Our ask for him was to get some candid shots as we feel pretty awkward in front of the camera. I personally think that the wedding day pictures came out more naturally because of the setting being surrounded with friends and families, and Isaac and Sushen did a great job capturing the candid moments beautifully. Isaac even had an idea for me to pose by climbing up a wooden stair ladder for a shot that I honestly wasn't sure how it was going to turn out while doing it, but it ended up turning out beautiful and magazine-like in addition to other ones that he asked us to pose for. Isaac put together a behind the scenes video that also showed the reactions of guests to our photo place cards before we had entered the reception area, and this was lovely in that we got to see our guests' reactions that we weren't able to see.

We are so happy we chose Lucia to capture our elopement. Lucia is professional, fast to respond to emails and texts, helpful with decisions, accommodating to any requests, concerns, and excited to give advice. Duncan and I really wanted our photographer to capture our true emotion and to get candids of us, and Lucia DID THAT! The day felt blissful and a key point for us was that we got to enjoy the day without it feeling solely like a photoshoot which I think speaks to Lucias talent and confidence in her craft. She was good at giving guiding advice for posing without us feeling posed. I put together a Pinterest board and shot list which she really did a great job pulling inspiration from. The photos are stunning and the exact style we envisioned. Also, our sneak peak was huge and she got them to us very fast. If you are torn between photographers or are just starting your research, you're in very safe hands to stop here. We hope to continue reaching out to Lucia in the future when we start a family.

When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

We hired Shelby as our wedding photographer and just received our full gallery - wow! We are blown away with the sweet and meaningful moments that she captured. Not only were momentous times photographed, but she made a point to photograph for our family and friends, as well. We can tell that Shelby likes to be behind the lens and capture the moments that feel great to the client, so we’re able to truly relive such a perfect day! There are way too many photos that we’d like to frame / we’re going to have to make a full wedding album! Note: Shelby’s flash work is incredible! Our ceremony was during sunset so all of our cocktail & reception shots are only lit by string lights - if you have a darker venue or a night time wedding, Shelby is your girl!!!!

I want to tell your story. I am a mix of Documentary and Editorial style of Photography. I want my photos to be a piece of art you hang on your wall. Or an album you pass down to your children and your grandchildren. I believe location is a very important element in telling your story. I am willing to travel, hike, take a boat, whatever I need to do to arrive at the location that inspires and represents you.

Uuhh, uuhh, uuhh… Awh shit… I forgot to say “I’m Devin Larson”. Your wedding + elopement photographer and Super 8 Film Videographer
