Oury Memories

  • Serves Effingham, IL

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!

Grace was just amazing. For a day that was overwhelming and very stressful, I cannot thank her enough for her calm and kindness. My now husband and I are usually not "photo people", as we tend to be more introverts than anything else, and she went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Her professionalism and guidance during the shoot can be described as more than stellar. I will definitely recommend her to all of my friends who will be getting married soon. During all the chaos, I was extremely thankful to have chosen her as our photographer.

Hello there! I'm Andrea, owner of Amative Creative, and every weekend we're so blessed to be able to tell the love stories of so many amazing couples. Like many others in this industry might say, we simply adore weddings. But what makes us a little different is our entire brand is centered around telling love stories specifically curated to reflect your vision and aesthetic. "Amative" means to be prone to love, so as you can see, we want nothing more than to tell your love story! But what makes us truly unique is that we understand every love story looks different. And we personalize every aspect of how we document your wedding day!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a great experience with Amative Creative for our wedding! One thing that really made them stand out was that they offer so many different editing styles to choose from, so we were able to pick exactly the look we wanted. They also got our photos back to us super quickly—about a week after the wedding—which was such a nice surprise. The photos turned out beautiful and they captured all the big moments and some great candid shots. I especially love how cool the dance floor shots turned out. We received tons of compliments on the pictures! Highly recommend!

Awarded Best of Zola
I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24

  • Serves Effingham, IL

I'm a traveling wedding & elopement photographer based in Michigan. I am always down for an adventure. There is so much to explore and experiences to be had. I love getting to know rad couples and capturing some pretty iconic moments for them. Let's get this party started by sending me an inquiry!

Awarded Best of Zola
For starters, we had Taylor do our engagement pictures- my fiancé and I never had professional photos together and to say I was nervous, was an understatement. Taylor drove over 3 hours to do our little engagement shoot and came with this little speaker and the most warming personality. She made us feel completely comfortable and the pictures really spoke for themselves. She directed us and really made the experience something so fun. Fast forward to a year later, we obviously used her for our wedding. Not only did she help with our wedding timeline, but was easy to communicate with, prompt with response times, and really was excited for our big day. On our wedding day, Taylor was a complete professional. We stuck to a strict timeline and were able to get all our pictures done, still have time to enjoy cocktail hour, and mostly be present during our reception. Taylor has the most vibrant personality and makes everyone feel special on your day. She will hype you up and the next moment have you cracking up. Our wedding photos were exactly what we wanted. The pictures really captured the essence of our wedding, the feelings we had throughout the day, and the love we shared with everyone there. I would and DO suggest her to anyone who asks. Taylor really was the best choice a couple could ask for.

I am a fine art wedding photographer who makes your photos more FUN. I'm for the couples who want to show the JOY while still getting those beautiful, editorial images. Ever since my first wedding in 2006 (where I developed the negatives in the darkroom myself), I have been obsessed with capturing couples' love stories. I was born and raised in Chicago where I still split half my time, but I will travel all over the world to capture your love. You can always find me covered in an endless supply of dog hair or hiding chapsticks in several locations around my home.

Kristin is a Tier A photographer all the way! She brings an unparalleled aesthetic, attention to detail and artistry. We are forever grateful for the amazing memories of our daughter’s wedding.

Shutter & Sound

  • Fine art style

  • Serves Effingham, IL

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

My husband and I loved working with Shutter and Sound for our wedding!! They went above and beyond when capturing our venue and all the special moments throughout our wedding day. The videographers were very personable and easy to work with, and were confident in their vision. All of the deliverables came even sooner than we were expecting which was a nice surprise, and I've watched our videos sooo many times since we got them back. Truly a great experience! I'd recommend Shutter and Sound to anyone looking for quality footage that really tells a story. :)

Chances are, you landed on this page because you’re looking for remarkable wedding photos that not only challenge the status-quo, but also serve as a unique and special family heirloom. You need wedding photographers who can offer an unparalleled and world-class photography experience — not just someone who simply clicks a shutter button. As seasoned editorial photographers, we understand the desire to break tradition and seek out services that add value in addition to quality images.

We had an amazing time working with Shawn and Breanna at our wedding. They were friendly, had good ideas for shots, and were determined to get good emotional shots throughout the day. Couldn't have asked for better people to work with us on our wedding day.

Rachael Marie Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves Effingham, IL

At the end of the day, all we have are the stories told about us and the ones we write about ourselves. I love writing about the musings of life and sharing my thoughts with others in conversation and social media posts. I constantly document my own life so I don't forget the big or little moments. Every time I travel to somewhere new I love connecting with those who cross my path, and yet I love coming home to my dog. TLDR: sentimental soul, avid movie goer, mental health advocate, and decent chocolate chip cookie maker.

Rachael was our photographer for our September 2023 wedding. There is no question that she was the absolute best person we could have had for such a special day. From beginning to end Rach helped us plan and execute our vision. We were not using a wedding planner, so she helped us get a lot of details and timelines on track. She also made sure we had fun and were able to relax through the whole process. On our wedding day Rach showed up ready to go and excited for a fun day. She captured so many beautiful moments between our first look, moments with family, ceremony, and reception. She also gifted us a moment alone to talk and take in the day just the two of us - it was so special and intimate. I will always cherish the memories and details she captured for us. Rachael also did our engagement shoot a few months before the wedding and those photos are so incredibly breathtaking. Some people have such a talent and artistry in what they do and Rachael is one of those people. If you are looking for someone who will become your friend, make you feel beautiful, and most importantly capture these special moments in a way that brings back every emotion of life and love when you look back at the photos, we 10000% recommend Rachael.

Mist Photography

  • Serves Effingham, IL

Photography became personal to me through loss and the reminder that life is fleeting. After losing two of my best friends in high school, photos became more than images. They became memories I deeply treasure. I’ve been a self-made photographer since 2019, and in 2020 I spent a year in Atlanta second shooting luxury weddings, refining my craft and style. I later moved back home to Salem, IL to be close to family and now proudly serve the Southern Illinois and St. Louis areas, capturing meaningful moments with intention, joy, and heart.

Rachael is so great to work with! She is personable, fun, and laidback. She kept the session fun and captured amazing shots. Her work is incredible! I highly recommend her!

**PLEASE CONTACT ME VIA MY WESITE INQUIRY FORM FOR PRICING DETAILS!** blk-photography .com Hey y’all! I am Brittany, the photographer behind the dream team that is blkPhotography. I will be celebrating 15 years of business in 2024! I started this journey as a sophomore in high school with a love for capturing moments and memories, because they are SO important. I’ve grown throughout the years of weddings + portrait sessions and come to adore this “job” of creating and curating memories for my clients. It’s a passion I pursue every single day.

Brittany was a pleasure to work with. She put us at ease throughout the entire wedding planning process — from the initial Zoom call to the last-minute call the week before the wedding to calm my nerves with the tight morning timeline. The quality of her work was simply gorgeous — her editing style is so fresh and natural, which is exactly what we were looking for to capture the beauty of our venue and all the special moments of our day. Brittany even provided helpful posing tips ("shoulders back") on the wedding day to help us feel and look our best in our photos. The preview photos we've received are magazine-worthy, and we can't wait to see the full gallery. Brittany with blkphotography provided incredible value, and we highly recommend her to any couple.

A decade in professional theater. Nine years as a fine art street photographer. Now I shoot weddings. The theater taught me comfort—how to help nervous couples relax and forget the camera. The street work trained my eye—finding extraordinary frames in ordinary moments, chasing light like it owes me money. The result: signature portraits that feel like paintings and a shoot that feels like hanging out with a friend. 300+ weddings. 151+ five-star reviews. A 10-photographer team. Zero cookie-cutter work. Camera-shy? Creative? Both? Let's talk.

Jeremy is absolutely fantastic to work with; he is not only professional but incredibly positive and brings great energy to any event. Our wedding was the greatest day of our lives and we are so thankful Jeremy and his team were there to document it as it really comes across in the photos. His prices were very fair and we hope to work with him and his amazing team again in the future!

I'm Meghan Ann Imagery! I'm an artist, storyteller, and lover of love. It's fitting I ended up as a wedding photographer, right? I'm based in Connecticut but wishing for the dream inquiries that will send me to Alaska, Colorado, or some place new.

I found Meghan on TikTok literally the day after I got engaged and immediately knew she had to be our photographer. I wouldn’t let my husband take no for an answer — and I’m so glad I didn’t. From the very beginning, Meghan was friendly, down-to-earth, and made both of us feel totally comfortable (which was really important to me because I normally feel so awkward in front of a camera!). She did both our engagement shoot and our wedding, and was amazing at communicating throughout the whole process. She really took the time to understand our vision for a cozy, casual backyard wedding — and brought it to life through her warm, documentary-style photos that perfectly captured the vibe of the day. So many guests commented on how awesome the photographers were! Even though I leaned toward candid, documentary shots, Meghan was super flexible and helped us with some posed photos too, which turned out beautiful. She even helped set up our tattoo station (and got her own temporary sleeve — iconic), and sent us some Polaroids after the wedding, which was the cutest touch. Overall, Meghan was such a good vibe. It honestly felt like hanging out with a close friend who just happened to have a camera and a really good eye (: Can’t recommend her enough!
