Hiring Eivan’s for our wedding was a great decision! Our photographer Gregory I was professional and FUN! He kept us smiling throughout the day with his quirky personality! My fiancé does not care for photos so I’m happy we had someone working with us who could make him comfortable. He made sure to get multiple images even if it was just “one more”, it was never one more! We had actually hired a different photographer and we replaced him with this company. Worth the stress and money! If I had any tips for the company, it would be to have your photographers give a 30 minute warning before their contracted time is up. Weddings are so busy for the bride and groom, it is very easy to lose track of time. I think clients would appreciate a little heads up just so they can try and capture any photos they may have missed. Other than that, I have ZERO complaints. Such an amazing experience! 10/10 highly recommend :)

George Street was very communicative and professional throughout our wedding planning process and the day of. We chose to have 8 hr photo and video with a 6 hr assistant photographer. between the quality of the photos and video and the amount of time we had, we felt that it was amazing quality and such a beautiful keepsake to remember our special day by. We were also permitted to switch out an album the pictures made by George Street with an engagement photo shoot with photographer which we really appreciate and enjoy doing. The photographer, Ausrine, and videographer, Eric, always gave us clear instructions and what to do and how to pose. Ausrine even worked around our busy schedules when scheduling the engagement shoot to make sure we were happy with the weather and that day.

While Nicole is the main photographer of the company, we have also expanded and hired reliable, talented photographers to work along side with us, while still maintaining a small business feel.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a wedding planner, I have the privilege of working with many talented professionals—but The Still Life stands out as one of the most exceptional photographers I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with. From the first email to the final image delivery, they were an absolute dream. Professional, calm under pressure, and incredibly attuned to the energy of the day, The Still Life brought a quiet confidence and refined artistic vision that made both the couple and the vendor team feel completely at ease. Their background gives their wedding work a distinctive edge—every frame feels intentional, intimate, and beautifully composed. They have an incredible ability to capture not just moments, but mood—the softness of a floral detail, the emotion in a glance, the quiet magic between all the big moments. Our couples & clients are always absolutely thrilled with the results, and the photos were nothing short of stunning. As a planner, I can also say they were a joy to work alongside: punctual, communicative, and incredibly respectful of the timeline and flow of the day. If you're a couple looking for timeless, artful imagery—or a fellow planner seeking a photographer who elevates every event they’re part of—I can’t recommend The Still Life highly enough. Truly one of the best. The Serendipity Collective Nikki M. Rodgers

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%

A cinematic eye. --- A bleeding heart. --- An inclusive spirit. --- I've picked up a camera just about every day since I fell in love with photography in 2013. Though every shoot holds something unique, it takes a lot to catch me off guard after a decade in business. I pride myself on my ability to quickly connect with my clients, making them feel comfortable, cared for, and confident that they look great. Being a helpful and calming presence in the midst of your wedding is second nature to me. Basically, I try to treat people how I want to be treated: with fairness and understanding!

We couldn't be more grateful for Zach and his work! I had a million things running through my mind on our wedding day, and making sure we captured every moment was a priority. Zach assured us to not even think about photos, that was his job! His energy was calming and grounding! We got to live in our day and see it beautifully captured after. He was communicative, kind, and delivered exactly what we wanted. I highly recommend him and hope to hire him again for more of life's moments.

Hey there! I’m a weddings and couples photographer based in Chicago, IL with my partner Emily and my rescue dog Daxter. I’m here to document joy and celebrate all the meaningful moments with the kickass people that find me.

Working with Sam and his team was one of the best decisions we could have made with wedding planning! He really took the time to get to know us as a couple and our vision, was an absolute blast to work with, and delivered the most beautiful photos. Not only is Sam amazing, but he also works with wonderful people and was able to pull in a second photographer, Aidan, last minute (a HUGE ask during peak wedding season) when we decided we wanted a bit more coverage. Sam and Aidan were both incredibly creative and fun to spend our wedding day with. They also put us at ease when nerves ran high and recognized when we needed a breather. Our guests raved on how much they loved Sam and Aidan, too! We of course loved the portraits but were also so impressed with the candids which captured so many precious moments that we otherwise may have missed. Overall, if you're looking for a fun, thoughtful, creative photographer who also happens to be a wonderful human being, look no further than Sam Schultz Photography!

I've been documenting weddings for 15 years! Your wedding will have so man quick and candid moments, and that's what I'm there for. The spontaneity. The honesty. The "beautiful" vs the "pretty". Hearing things like "Wow, we didn't even know that happened!" or "This is the best picture of my Grandpa I've ever seen," is what keeps me fired up year after year! I believe everyone deserves to feel welcomed, honored, and free to express their love for each other. I proudly support and celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community along with all cultural backgrounds and traditions!

As a same-sex couple, we weren't sure how different vendors would feel about working on our wedding. From the first interaction, Ryan was welcoming and inclusive - how amazing! We had an intricate wedding day with high church, a theater performance, and the traditional dinner/dancing/toasts. Ryan rolled with all the details, capturing each one. Even better? He and his assistant faded into the background ... our guests commented that they never even noticed a photographer being there, never felt blocked or intruded upon. When we got the results, our hundreds-of-photos were chock full of "how did they get THAT shot?" kinds of reactions. Amazing. Ryan's pictures are so fantastic, we would consider getting married a second time, just so we could hire him again.

Being a former actor who found a deep love and passion for wedding photography, I'm most drawn to the art of storytelling while creating honest and original work. I strive to make my images fully represent my couples in every way possible. I'm goofy, fun, and always create a deep connection with my couples to ensure their big day is captured with passion + care.

We are so happy we chose to work with Madi for our wedding photos and was one of best decisions we made. We immediately liked her on the first call as she was just easy to talk to and really took an interest in learning about our story. We could tell she had amazing organization skills, and her photography was exactly what we were looking for when it came to our wedding. She was friendly and personable and provided easy communication. She was very flexible, tolerated our need to bring our dogs into both the wedding and the engagement photos, and made us comfortable during the photography process. At our wedding, she was on time, and SO on top of things that I really didn't need to worry about anything getting done. She was on it and coordinated everything so seamlessly. She not only is excellent in her photography skills, but helped so much in establishing our timeline and sorting out what was actually feasible for the day. We really appreciated her expertise.

My name is Kate Scott Daly, and I can't wait to meet you! I'm a Chicago native and have been a professional photographer for nearly a decade. I am obsessed with capturing the perfect moment that will make you gasp and say "Oh my god, this is amazing!" Being a queer woman, it is so important to me that you feel safe, loved, and beautiful every step of the way. If you're looking for someone you can relax with and just be yourself, you've found me! Let's face it: it can be awkward being in front of a camera. Even I feel nervous sometimes! I understand that anxiety and will do everything I can to make you feel fabulous!

We cannot recommend Kate enough! From the moment we met her, she made us feel completely comfortable and celebrated our love with so much enthusiasm. As a queer couple, it was important for us to work with someone who not only respected but truly celebrated queer weddings, and Kate went above and beyond. She took the time to help us clarify our vision for our wedding photos, which was especially helpful since we only had 6 weeks to plan our wedding and felt a little overwhelmed by the process. She was a great guide and we immediately knew we were in good hands! Kate’s associate Ryan shot the photos on our wedding day and they captured every special moment—from the big emotional vows to the smallest, most intimate glances—with such artistry and care. The photos are breathtaking, full of life, and truly reflect the joy of our day. Right when Ryan arrived, they jumped in with capturing photos of small details and worked to capture everything we wanted for our special day. Kate and Ryan were both an absolute delight to work with—professional, fun, and incredibly talented. If you're looking for a photographer who will make you feel seen, respected, and celebrated while delivering stunning photos, look no further. We are beyond grateful for Kate and Ryan and will cherish these photos forever! Thank you for making our wedding memories so magical!

From my first moment as a wedding photographer, I knew I wanted to kick tradition to the curb. I was tried of seeing wedding photography that excluded the communities that I hold closest. I work hard to form a real connection with each of my clients to craft an experience that captures their unique spirit.

Awarded Best of Zola
I found Unabridged Photography while looking for documentary/photojournalistic style photographers for our Chicago wedding. As soon as we talked to Ashley, we looked no further. Throughout the entire process they were collaborative and communicative. Our engagement shoot felt like meeting up with a friend. We were able to blend more editorial portraits with a candid depiction of our day. Ashley never makes you feel like any shot or maneuver is hard even as they are running behind you with four cameras strapped to their body- and you appreciate having every format. The result of that effort was an array of photos, both glamorous and understated, like nothing I've never seen, and something I could have pulled from my parents' wedding album. Not only an incredibly talented photographer, Ashley had great suggestions for shooting locations and is knowledgeable of what the city has to offer (and even suggested the bar where we hosted our Welcome Drinks!!). We opted out of having video at our wedding for several reasons, so the stakes for the photography were pretty high. Ashley's images made our wedding with nearly 200 guests feel intimate and look like a rager. You spend a lot of your wedding day with your photographer regardless of how posed your day is, and you can only hope that they are as warm, chill, and likeable as Ashley.

We ended up running so late that we only had 15 minutes for photos after our ceremony. Chelsea took charge and made sure we got took advantage of that time. Absolutely cannot recommend her enough, you definitely won’t regret booking her!

I'm Chris, on my 13th year of event & weddings photography. At your hands you have a photographer who documents and enjoys the fun spontaneous emotions for candids and poses. I believe photography helps maintain life's special moments for people that like to keep watching and rewinding memory lane and I am one of them. I believe photography is fun, life-giving, adventurous for the right people and I look forward to answering any of your questions.

As a wedding photographer myself, I’m extremely selective about who I trust to capture the most important moments of my life. Choosing Chris was one of the best decisions we made. His talent, eye for detail, and soft artistic touch truly stood out from the very beginning. My wife and I were especially impressed by his kindness and patience throughout the entire day. He brought such a calm, positive energy that made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. The way he captured our emotions and the little in‑between moments was everything we hoped for. Chris isn’t just a skilled photographer — he’s someone who genuinely cares about the couples he works with. We’re incredibly grateful for the beautiful memories he created for us. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a photographer with both artistry and heart.

Six years of taking bright, colorful, fun wedding photos in the city has taught me how to deliver a complete gallery of your day told in an artistic, meaningful, and unobtrusive way--because I'm here to document your day, not to direct it. As much as I love taking photos (it's truly my favorite thing in the world!), I believe your wedding is about celebrating all your people being in the same place at the same time + kicking back and enjoying while I make sure all those memories are on camera.

We couldn't be happier with our decision to hire Alana Lindenfeld as our wedding photographer.

Our wedding photos are nothing short of breathtaking. Alana managed to capture every precious moment with such beauty and clarity, from the quiet, intimate exchanges to the grand, joyful celebrations. Her ability to find and frame the perfect shot is simply remarkable. Beyond her technical skills, Alana was a joy to work with. She was unobtrusive yet always present, ensuring she didn't miss a single important moment. Her warm personality made the entire experience enjoyable, and her dedication to her craft is evident in every photo she took. We are endlessly grateful to Alana for giving us these priceless memories that we will cherish forever.

Megan Saul Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Steger, IL

Photography has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. What started as a childhood passion grew into a lifelong pursuit of storytelling through images. I’m based in both Union, Illinois, and Florida, which allows me to capture weddings in a variety of beautiful settings. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m gardening, traveling, or spending time with my partner, Kenny, and our three pets. My work has been featured in many publications, but what truly drives me is creating honest, meaningful imagery for my couples—photos that will live on as part of their legacy.

Megan helped make our incredible wedding day -- the happiest day of our lives -- something we can cherish forever. Her photography not only captured the day's spirit but also all the sudden instances that now help us recall how emotional it was. Her attention to detail and her eye for angles, lighting, and composition are uncanny. We'll look at these photos for years and will forever be thankful to Megan for putting her heart and soul into everything she does, including our wedding. On top of all that, she is absolutely pro: she takes pride in her work and delivers only the best product and service. I could not recommend her any higher.
