From the moment we booked Nina Marqui Photography for our engagement, their communication was prompt, quick, and great. The quality of their work was absolutely beautiful, amazing, and perfect. Nina was so unobtrusive during the moment - she said she was going to hide and I didn't even see her when she started taking pictures! We were thrilled to receive sneak peeks just days after the engagement, and the final photos captured every special moment exactly as we had hoped. Nina Marqui Photography went above and beyond to make our engagement day perfect.

A Southern Illinois native who started my photography journey near the mountains of Colorado who has found myself whisked away by the windy city of Chicago, in love with preserving the love of others. I travel all over (take me to the Bahamas or Europe please!) & also serve the states of Wisconsin, Michigan, Colorado & Utah.

I planned my wedding in 6 months, and I wanted to make sure I had quality for a reasonable price. After hours of searching and lots of inquires, I came across Sara’s Instagram. After our phone call, we meshed so I signed the contract and never looked back. My engagement and wedding photos turned out STUNNING and I get so many compliments on them. I’ve referred multiple people to her and for good reason. She’s such great photographer that I just used her for my maternity shoot :) she listens to what you’re looking for a gives you just that and sprinkles a little extra magic on top. On top of her skill, she’s such an amicable woman as well.

We were getting married and Justin was going to be there to capture it. Whether it was at the original venue, a boat, or in a tiny backyard. Justin's enthusiasm is so genuine and infectious.

Roni Rose Photography

  • Serves Lake Villa, IL

I am Roni; A tattooed, swearing, wedding photographer that loves art and fucking hates romantic comedies. Growing up, I enjoyed writing private memoirs of getting gas at the gas station, or describing in length the way the lady at the grocery store rang out the customer in front of me; All seemingly mundane interactions that I found so genuine and fascinating. When I finally picked up a camera, I found a way to be an observer of the moments that make our time on this planet worth it - the life changing moments, the deliciously mundane moments, and everything in between. There's nothing else in the world that I'd rather do.

Roni and David were amazing and everything we could have hoped for. They made everyone feel so comfortable and open. Their familiarity with our venue was a major plus, as they could help advise on where would be good spots for pictures and general insider knowledge. The photos are stunning and perfect as well!

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.

I was that kid enchanted by Disney Princess movies and the idea of "true love". My true love revealed itself through photography. At 8, I grabbed my dad's camera and was hooked, thrilled to show people my world. I started with zoo animals, friends, and siblings, eager to freeze moments in time. As I grew, I learned from local photographers and knew by 17 that photography was my calling. Since then, I’ve captured love in all its forms: couples, new parents, best friends, and the joy of seeing your favorite band live. The world is full of magical firsts, and I'm honored to capture these moments forever.

My husband and I can't recommend Kaitlyn enough. From the booking process, our engagement shoot, through the wedding itself Kaitlyn was thoughtful, professional, and attentive to our preferences and requests. She even drove 3 hours to do our engagement shoot in Wisconsin and was able to film our ceremony on her own! Her sneak peek the next day made us so so happy, and she got every photo on our list, including some out of order or spontaneous based on how the day went. We couldn't have been happier with Kaitlyn's services! Rachel & Alex

Hey there, I’m Lauren! I’m a wedding and boudoir photographer based in Grand Rapids, MI. I believe your photos should feel like you—natural, honest, and full of emotion. No stiff posing here—just real, unscripted moments that tell your story. I’ll help you feel confident and comfortable, whether it's your wedding day, a boudoir session, or a just-because adventure. Outside of photography, I’m usually hiking, doing Jiu-Jitsu, or traveling with my wife. Let’s create something timeless and unforgettable together!

We started our relationship with Lauren in the fall of 2023 as we planned our destination wedding for May 2024. From the beginning Lauren was communicative, kind and excited. We were able to connect with Lauren for an engagement shoot in Ann Arbor and received our photos so quickly we were able to use them to build our website and invites. Additionally, I gifted my husband a boudoir photo album on the day of the wedding and she was wonderful to work with. Needless to say, by the time we traveled for our wedding we were so comfortable it was like having a close friend do our shoot. Now we have our walls decorated with the most beautiful photos as we approach our first anniversary. We would recommend working with Lauren to anyone

From the very first contact, he was incredibly responsive (super important to us), friendly and professional. His work looked great so we were excited - then we found out he was featured in Vogue! 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.

Heather Olker of Olker Wedding Photo was an amazing artist to work with from start to finish. As a great listener, she was very respectful of our wishes and took the time to understand our vision for our special day. Punctual and ready to capture every moment, Heather was loving and passionate about her craft. She listened closely to the details that were important to us, like our Disney-inspired wedding in the Carousel Museum in CT, and made sure to beautifully document all the magical moments, from our engagement photos in NYC's Times Square and Central Park to the carousel at our ceremony. We are thrilled with the final results and couldn't be happier that we chose Olker Wedding Photo to be a part of our wedding.
