Awarded Best of Zola
Clayton was one of the best wedding decisions we made! He was very fun to work with, made us feel comfortable, and he truly delivered a wonderful product. We absolutely love the photos we’ve seen so far. We were married 11/18, and our preview photos were delivered so quickly, and they are gorgeous! He captured the mood and feel of the day so perfectly, and the candid shots of my friends and family will be cherished by so many of us. All of our wedding guests raved about Clayton later. He got to know our guests, and blended right into our party! He has a very unique, cinematic/aesthetic style, and it matched perfectly with what we wanted. Neither of us had felt photogenic before, but Clayton captured some of the most flattering photos of us. Don’t think twice about booking him!

As a young couple getting married, it was scary to trust a company to provide everything we needed, but we felt very confident when we talked with Steve. The communication with Steve was great and smooth! They offered a Photographer, Videographer, DJ, and Photo booth! Ron, Austin, and DeAndre were the dream team.

George Street Photo and Video has one story to tell: Yours. With over twenty years of experience, our award-winning team has been lucky to capture thousands of weddings for our couples across the United States. Specializing in both wedding photography and videography, we offer affordable and customizable packages starting at $1295 that are designed to suit your unique vision and budget. We even offer a fun style test to help us match you with a photographer that aligns with the vibe of your day.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’m SO satisfied with our experience booking with George Street! I was drawn to them because I thought they were more reasonably priced compared to what some individual photographers are charging these days (we’re in the Seattle market), but I didn’t feel like the price advantage came at a sacrifice of quality. I loved the photos our photographer John C. took (who was AMAZING!) for both our engagement/portrait session and of course the photos on the day of the wedding. He did a fantastic job capturing all the beautiful memories we made that day, and we are so grateful. The booking process was really simple, too—I arranged a meeting with one of their sales reps (Amber) who did an excellent job explaining exactly how their company works, the packages available, how to choose your photographer and so on. Once we booked with them, we were given access to an online portal to put in all the necessary info that would be passed along to the photographer. One thing I would say is that because you are contracting with a company and not the individual photographer, you aren’t able to communicate directly with the photographer very often. You really are hiring them for photography only, so collaborating with them on the event timeline and other details is not really an option. Any questions you have generally need to be sent via the wedding coordinators at George Street, as you won’t even receive your photographer’s email or phone number until you actually meet them (it’s possible this is not the case for everyone, but just our experience). To be clear, this was NOT an issue for us at all, but just something to be aware of if a more hands-on photographer that can help with coordination and planning is really what you’re looking for.

Between 2023-2024 of wedding planning, I had found Albany Capture on Zola and decided to book their services after doing some research. Wedding planning didn’t go accordingly at first to the point where I had to change the venue and date. Luckily Albany Capture was still available in spite of all the changes and was flexible in working along with us. My new husband and I just got married on May 2, 2025 and we can’t thank Pedro of Albany Capture enough for capturing our special day!

Audrey went above and beyond for our wedding, and I couldn't ask for a better photographer!! She made us both feel very comfortable in front of the camera, but that started well before the day, by meeting in person to discuss our priorities, joining a venue walkthrough, and creating a timeline for us. We had a mostly DIY friend set up wedding so all her experience and advice was greatly appreciated--I even heard she helped light tea candles when my friends were in a pinch. AND the photos are STUNNING, but what truly made the experience special was how much Audrey got to know us, and we recommend her 100000%

The Chicago Group is a premier wedding photography and videography company dedicated to capturing love stories with authenticity and style. Combining artistic vision with a documentary approach, we create timeless, emotional images and films that reflect the essence of each couple’s special day. With a passion for storytelling, we ensure every moment is beautifully preserved for a lifetime.

What stood out to me most was how approachable and kind the team was. Weddings can be stressful, but they really helped me relax and actually enjoy the process. They joked with the groomsmen, helped me fix my veil at one point, and still somehow managed to stay invisible when it mattered. The photos are beyond gorgeous I actually had a hard time choosing which ones to frame because I loved them all. The video is something we’re planning to show at our one-year anniversary party because it tells the story so beautifully. My husband, who normally hates getting pictures taken, actually said he enjoyed the experience because they made it so fun. That’s saying a lot! They worked well with our other vendors and kept everything on schedule. I’ve already recommended them to two friends who are engaged. Honestly, 10/10 service and results.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
If I could give more stars… I would. Kaitlyn was truly a dream to work with! Her and her second shooter (Jake) truly felt more like friends than photographers for the day. They fit right into the day and it made our day so much more fun. I will give warning, you will have to be ready to be obsessed with your photos, and look at them about 50 times a day. Definitely not speaking from experience, AND I only have the sneak peak photos (writing this only two weeks after our wedding day). Kaitlyn is a professional but she makes your time with her fun and effortless. She great at communicating with you about what you want from your day, and how she can provide you with the best photos. I am so sad our day is over and I won’t get to see her and work with her any time soon, but trust me, I will be finding more excuses to work with her again. BOOK WITH KAITLYN JOHNSTON PHOTOGRAPHY!!!

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.

how do you start a review for someone that means so much more to you than just a photographer, a wedding vendor, a person that is capable of capturing all of your happiest moments? From the very start, Reyna was attentive, thoughtful, generous, and kind. She’s not the generic sort of “kind,” either. She is the shirt off her back, put others before herself, drop everything to make sure everyone is doing well type of kind. From the first interaction with Reyna, we knew that we would be so lucky to have her throughout our engagement period and wedding day. planning and paying for a wedding all on your own as a 28 year old couple is no easy feat, but Reyna worked with us every step of the way and was more than considerate. I am forever grateful that I stumbled upon her gorgeous photos and insanely aesthetically pleasing Instagram profile. I thought “no way are we going to be able to snag a photographer this talented.” Reyna made all of our dreams come true. She was able to capture the most gorgeous engagement photos of all time - I think she might even have magical powers and was able to curate the perfect sunset complete with sprinkles of rain and a rainbow. People, including us, were absolutely blown away by the pictures, how she was able to really capture our personalities, and how she added her touch of magic. We really didn’t think that we could love photos any more than our engagement pictures. And then she sent us sneak peaks from the wedding day. Reyna continually blows us away with her talent. I truly think I was able to keep it together emotionally on the day of because I had Reyna’s sweet, calm, and reassuring presence with me every step of the way. We have gotten so lucky with all of our wedding vendors becoming friends and family to us and Reyna is at the top of that list. Now that we have met and loved Reyna in our wedding era, we cannot wait to have her with us for all of the rest of our eras in life. We might even have to make up some life events just so we can hang out with her again. Never in my life would we feel this lucky to have someone like Reyna in our corner and I hope for everyone to be able to experience the talent, warmth, and love that Reyna exudes in everything that she does.

A Chicago-based wedding and elopement photographer that values genuine connection, authentic emotions, and getting to know my clients on a deep and personal level. I value capturing your moments and memories exactly how they happen, helping you to remember the feelings of intimacy, love, and warmth of marrying your person. PLEASE GO TO MY WEBSITE TO INQUIRE!

This is guaranteed to be longwinded because there aren't nearly enough words to explain how incredible Jayde is and how magical working with her was so if you're reading this, lock her in now and trust that you won't regret it because you're in amazing hands. For context, I was your quintessential type A bride with a very specific vision for my wedding. Given that, I was especially particular when it came time to pick our wedding photographer but from the moment we connected with Jayde, we knew she was the one. Beyond her professionalism and talent behind the lens, Jayde is kind, genuine, personable, patient, and caring, feeling like more of an old friend than your typical vendor. When we were torn on whether or not to do the first look, Jayde provided a high level of expertise and support, which led to us doing it and literally receiving photos that left us speechless. She also showed the highest level of enthusiasm for and dedication to capturing our day based on the vision described and literal 10 page mood board I created for her the week of our wedding, on top of the fact that she seamlessly captured photos of me and my husband on the skydeck, despite her personal fear of heights. During our initial conversations, I told Jayde that regardless of if I was looking at my photos six months post-wedding or 26 years later, that I wanted to be able to travel back in time and evoke the same emotions that we felt on our special day, and Jayde went way above my expectations, delivering breathtaking memories and stunning photos that we'll forever be grateful for. So all that said, if you're looking for someone who will ensure you're comfortable in front of the camera and will guide you flawlessly through the process of creating magazine worthy images that reflect the love shared between you and your partner, you NEED Jayde and I promise, you will not regret booking with her.
