  • Serves Lake Station, IN

At Jolie Images, we believe memories should be priceless... Not expensive. Based in Wheeling, Illinois, however our photographers travel to certain parts of Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana. We are a passionate team of photographers dedicated to capturing the beauty, joy, and love in every event. With over a decade of experience in the industry, we specialize in wedding photography, engagement sessions, family portraits, and more. We believe in the power of storytelling through images. Each click of our camera is an opportunity to freeze time, to preserve laughter, tears, and everything in between. Let us make your memories last forever!

We had such a wonderful experience using Jolie Images for photography on our wedding day as well as for our engagement session. It was great working with our photographer, Daniel! He was fun and friendly and helped make our day go well. Daniel called the week before so we could go over all requests, locations and details. He was extremely polite and professional and kept everything on schedule. We have seen a 'sneak peek' and can't wait to have the completed edited package sometime soon. Although the studio is large, Jolie offers the option to review photographer's portfolios and give a list of top choices for photographers. They eliminate the fear of someone being sick or unavailable on the event day. Pricing is very competitive and includes many things we didn't find elsewhere. We are looking forward to having an completed album and choosing the images and layout, as well as owning all images for future use. We would highly recommend Jolie Images for your wedding photography!

Ashley Gann Media LLC

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,375
  • Serves Lake Station, IN

Hey, I’m Ashley. I’ve been photographing weddings and portraits for over five years, with a focus on creating a relaxed, comfortable experience from start to finish. I believe the best photos come from feeling at ease, not being overly posed or rushed, and my goal is always to let moments unfold naturally. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me listening to metalcore, punk, or alternative music, playing video games, or getting lost in a romance novel. At home, I’m soaking up life with my husband, our son, two very opinionated dogs, and another little one joining our family in May 2026.

Awarded Best of Zola
Over the last two years Ashley has done three sessions for us (couples, engagement, and wedding!) and every single time we’ve just been blown away. My husband and I are extremely awkward individuals and had never had professional photos taken before, and Ashley made it SO easy for us and the pictures she captured were nothing short of amazing. Wedding planning is stressful enough as it is and Ashley made sure that we had all the specific shots/poses we wanted for our day. She was super organized and I had no worries about missing any parts of our wedding. My husband and I were talking about all the decisions we made for our wedding, and having Ash photograph our special day was at the top of our list. We love all of our beautiful pictures so much and we can’t thank you enough for capturing all of our special moments.

There is so many things I can say about my wonderful experience with my photo shoot! Due to COVID my husband and I just got married at the court house and all I wanted were some beautiful photographs. I found Brenda through a random search on Instagram and I fell in love with her work. I’m so lucky that I found her. From the moment I contacted Brenda she was SO informative. I was impressed at her location guide with SO many places not too far from me. When I met Brenda in person at the photo shoot she was so sweet and passionate about how and where to pose us. Her personality is great! My husband prefers to speak Spanish so I was happy that Brenda was able to explain how to pose us in Spanish. I highly recommended Brenda for any photo shoot you want to have and I will definitely be booking her for future events.

We can’t say enough amazing things about Promani! They did both our engagement and wedding photos, and every single image took our breath away. Their professionalism, creativity, and warmth made both experiences feel effortless and fun. What truly set them apart, though, was how unbelievably accommodating they were when we completely changed our wedding plans—moving everything from Michigan to Arizona with only three months to re-plan for 80 guests! Promani handled it with total grace and zero hesitation. They coordinated everything seamlessly, showed up ready for anything, and captured our day perfectly despite all the last-minute changes. Our photos are beyond stunning, but what we’ll remember most is how calm, kind, and supportive they were during such a whirlwind time. We’ll treasure these images forever and can’t recommend Promani enough to anyone looking for a professional photographer who truly goes above and beyond!

The photographer, Jonathan, and his assistant, were absolutely amazing. They arrived early, were flexible and really accommodating to our vision. They also really hustled! They took advantage of every spare moment they had to get additional photos, and kept us on schedule super tightly. They even carried around things like bottles of water for me (the bride) as we took lots of photos in the hot upper floor of the venue. Many guests also mentioned how beautifully the photos turned out. However, we did have an issue in which, due to an injury to the editor's hand, we did not receive our photos in the agreed-upon timeframe. Had we been informed of this delay ahead of time, we would not have had any issue just waiting a bit longer. The main concern was that we weren't alerted of this delay until after the initial deadline had passed. We did request a discount due to this, which they accommodated. And the photos did still turn out amazing!

Viewing them filled us with tears of joy and overwhelming love, as each beautifully captured memory transported us right back to the wedding day. I wholeheartedly recommend JayDee and Pluvia Studios to anyone seeking top-quality photography and videography to capture their most cherished moments.

Fuller Photo Co. is a queer, woman owned photography studio specializing in documentary style wedding photography since 2016. Offering film and digital! My number one goal is to create a relaxed and fun atmosphere, where you feel safe and supported while being photographed. I love focusing on color, fun and real candid moments in my work. Nontraditional wedding plans are my absolute favorite. The more true to you and more unique that your wedding plans are the better!

Booking Jordan as our wedding photographer was one of the easiest decisions we made! From the moment we first met with her, we knew she was the perfect fit for us! She's creative, warm, easy-going, flexible and super talented. We've been to weddings where the photographer is just kind of...in the way! And Jordan was the complete opposite. She's not your traditional wedding photographer, in the very best way. We are not the kind of couple who wanted a ton of super posed photos, and that is totally her style. She worked with us to make sure we got all of the shots we wanted, but the best part about her is how she documented the day in a completely organic way, capturing all the little candid moments and creating posed moments that felt natural to us. She's also just an awesome human and was so fun to have around throughout the day! Her easy-going demeanor made us feel at ease, especially as people who aren't super comfortable in front of a camera. Can't recommend her enough!!

Amelia was so much fun to work with! She made us feel very comfortable and guided us naturally without anything feeling too posed or forced. She has a talent for shooting and editing each set to perfectly match the vibe of every location, from dark and moody to bright and airy. We love the results!

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Steven and his team to do our wedding photos and videography. I really wanted a photographer that could capture the soul of the event, and Steven did exactly that. His photos are full of life, and I shared so many portraits with guests that actually got printed out or posted online. If you're looking for hundreds of photos of your wedding party that look exactly the same and for every planned second to be documented, Steven is not your person. If you're looking to hit the big moments but focus on capturing raw moments with timeless photos to get framed, I couldn't recommend them more. I never thought I would get a wedding video because it always seemed cheesy to me. But after watching examples of his work I fell absolutely in love with his videos. I've honestly had a hard time watching ours because it evokes so much emotion. Steven was collaborative and willing to go with the flow. We gave him the difficult task of being prepared for 3 different locations with totally differing lighting (indoor/outdoor plus shooting from high sun into the night). He puts an immense amount of care into his work and the photos are truly art that we will cherish forever. If there are specific things you want covered, be sure to share a list. When it comes to capturing the moments that can't be planned, he is on the case!

I'm an award winning wedding photojournalist from Chicago, Illinois. I was raised in the Chicago suburbs but now call Lincoln Square home with my husband and our two Golden Retrievers, Missy and Felony. When the dogs aren't keeping me busy I love traveling all over the world, cooking amazing meals, jumping on my Peloton and eating Thai food while binging Netflix.

From the moment we first contacted Sarah Nader Photography, we were impressed by her open, easy, and quick communication style. Sarah has an incredible attention to detail, which was evident in the beautiful photos she captured of our special day. Sarah even went the extra mile by coming to our home to take photos, making us feel comfortable and at ease. We'll forever cherish the stunning images she took, especially the emotional and meaningful photos she captured of me breastfeeding my two young children during a surprising and bittersweet moment. Sarah's work is truly exceptional, and we highly recommend her services to any couple looking for a talented wedding or family photographer.
