From the moment we met Sara, we knew she was the perfect photographer for our wedding. Her warm and professional demeanor instantly put us at ease, and as we got to know her better, we felt like we were working with a dear friend rather than just a business vendor. Sara's meticulous attention to detail and creative eye were evident throughout the process - she listened intently to our vision and even suggested ideas we hadn't considered that ended up being some of our favorite photos. On the day of the wedding, Sara's adaptability and thoughtfulness truly shone through. When I forgot to include a group for family photos, she seamlessly adjusted the schedule and executed everything flawlessly, all while making sure I felt confident and beautiful. Sara's genuine excitement and "girls girl" personality made the entire experience a joy, and we only wish we had the chance to work with her on more than just our wedding day. We cannot recommend Sara Bowdler Photography highly enough - she is a true professional and a wonderful person to have by your side on one of the most important days of your life.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
2020 was a difficult year for many reasons, but weddings were especially tough to make happen in this calendar year. But what made it even more difficult was having to plan 2 different weddings. The first being a 10 month planned wedding in Joshua Tree, California, until we had to cancel it due to COVID in November a month before it was supposed to happen. My now husband and I scrambled to reset for a smaller ceremony in Illinois instead to allow at least his family to attend and have it at his sister's home in Huntley, IL. We only had one month to reset. One of the most important things for us was photography, and although we had spent most of our savings on the cancelled wedding and we had no hope in recovering most of that back or even soon enough to help with the 2nd wedding, we knew we had to put forth the money and make the right choice for a photographer to document our day as best as possible so that our love ones who couldn't make it could experience that day through the right lens. Justin Vaughn of JVaughn Photography LLC was the right lens and so much more! He worked very closely with us via online google meetings, with a minor setback, which was we couldn't have an in person engagement photo session with him (since we were based in Wyoming and wouldn't arrive in Illinois until closer to the ceremony). Justin prefers to complete an engagement photo session, which comes already included in a lot of his packages, before the wedding to get to know us as a couple and make sure we get the shots we prefer. However even without the engagement session, through our online meetings, we were able to discuss who we are and Justin had that personal touch as though we were talking to an old friend. We established the narrative and story telling that we hoped to have for the day. Justin took detailed notes and had a list of shots to take for the day. But his improvisation and artistic eye was also excellent and he captured moments that we had never thought of that were so beautiful and amazing. In addition to the photography he also did minor videography to provide us a highlight reel, which was beyond what we expected! Throughout the day he was also very much a ninja in capturing the right moments beautifully without obstructing the views of guests present. I would recommend him for any photography need, he truly is an artist that captures the moments you wanted and so much more!

Roni Rose Photography

  • Serves McHenry, 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
A few things that stood out the most about Isaac were how responsive he was, how he was able to accommodate to our budget, and how he took pictures from angles and views that turned out great on the photos. As a couple with demanding careers, I much appreciated how quickly Isaac was with replying to emails. We had a pretty tight budget, and Isaac was able to offer us a package that landed pretty close to our budget and only had the items that we needed the most (mini engagement photoshoot for the website and wedding day). Our ask for him was to get some candid shots as we feel pretty awkward in front of the camera. I personally think that the wedding day pictures came out more naturally because of the setting being surrounded with friends and families, and Isaac and Sushen did a great job capturing the candid moments beautifully. Isaac even had an idea for me to pose by climbing up a wooden stair ladder for a shot that I honestly wasn't sure how it was going to turn out while doing it, but it ended up turning out beautiful and magazine-like in addition to other ones that he asked us to pose for. Isaac put together a behind the scenes video that also showed the reactions of guests to our photo place cards before we had entered the reception area, and this was lovely in that we got to see our guests' reactions that we weren't able to see.

At 24 Frames, we capture weddings as they truly unfold — full of beauty, emotion, and unforgettable moments. Specializing in both photography and cinematic films, we preserve your day frame by frame, blending artistry with storytelling. From the smallest details to the grandest celebrations, our goal is to create timeless images and films that let you relive the magic for a lifetime.

From the bottom of my heart, I will always be grateful for the way they captured our day. Our wedding was small, just close family and friends, but they made it look like the most magical celebration ever. I didn’t even notice half of the little details until I saw the pictures later, like how my husband looked at me during the vows or how my best friend wiped away a tear. The editing was done with so much care it feels timeless, not trendy. The video is something I’ll keep forever, and I can’t wait to show it to our kids one day. They were punctual, kind, and really felt like part of the family that day. What I loved is that they didn’t rush us, they worked around the flow of the day while still capturing everything important. I’ve never felt so beautiful and natural in front of a camera before. They gave us memories that will last long after the flowers and cake are gone.

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!!!

Throughout the entire journey leading up to our big day, Lauren was a steady, joyful, and deeply supportive presence. We first worked with her offically during our engagement shoot, and to say we were blown away would be an understatement. The photos were stunning! So beautifully composed, natural, and authentically us. That experience only amplified our excitement for what she would capture on our wedding day. Lauren’s turnaround time is nothing short of incredible. Despite her demanding schedule (a testament to how in-demand and talented she is), she delivered our photos with unbelievable speed and care. We’re still in awe of how quickly we were able to relive the magic of our day through her lens. Her prep work leading up to the wedding was flawless. Working seamlessly alongside our Day-Of Coordinator, Lauren helped us map out a photography timeline that not only made the day run smoothly but also allowed us to be fully present. Thanks to her thoughtful planning and attention to detail, our First Look and post-ceremony portraits unfolded effortlessly - a massive weight lifted off our shoulders. And then came the photos. Every single one radiates with emotion, artistry, and intention. Lauren didn’t just document our wedding, she told our story in the most breathtaking way. Her talent behind the camera is undeniable, but it’s her warmth, intuition, and joy that truly set her apart. If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only at the top of their craft but also brings a glowing, calming, and genuine energy to your wedding day, look no further than Lauren. We feel endlessly lucky to have had her by our side - and now in our hearts.

Hi, I'm Ashley! I'm a professional wedding photographer based in Northern Illinois! At my core, I’m a giggly, bubbly, empathetic goofball with a welcoming heart. I've had roots in the wedding industry for a while now and have taken on many roles and worn many hats in this profession! In addition to wedding photography, I'm also a wedding coordinator and work for my local florist! I thrive in environments where I can be intentional, present, loving, empathetic, real, raw, and share in this space with others. This is the driving factor behind my “why” and where my passion for photography and the wedding industry takes root.

Where in the world do I start with my girl Ashley?! When planning my wedding in 2024, I knew one of the most important things during the process was to find an amazing wedding photographer, and sure enough we did! My husband and I got SO lucky. From the beginning, Ash made us beyond comfortable at our engagement shoot (it was our first time ever taking professional photos) AND we had a blast even though it was absolutely freezing that day. During one of the most stressful times of my life planning the wedding, she was the most amazing support, giving the best advice and sweetest comfort throughout the wedding process. Ashley helped make our wedding day go by so smoothly, helped calm my nerves with her warm presence and did an AMAZING job with our photos. She helped capture the most beautiful parts of our day and was so determined to get rainbow pics that we were so lucky to have. Ash was not only the best wedding photographer and her work is beyond beautiful, but she's also become a close friend of mine. I truly am so glad we found each other, I will forever be grateful for our girl! Don't think twice, I promise you won't regret booking any shoot with Ashley!

Hi! I'm Kayla - a traveling Milwaukee wedding photographer - and I'm going to make you cry. Wait, what? Don't worry, not in a bad way. Most of my couples say they cry when receiving their wedding photos from me for the first time. Five, ten, fifty years down the road when you open your wedding album, bet I'll get you again. You'll still be surrounded by your loved ones - remembering the happy tears and laughing until your belly hurts - just as you did on your wedding day.

Kayla exceeded every expectation, and I couldn’t recommend her enough. From the moment we started working together, I knew she understood the vibe and would be able to bring my vision to life. Starting with our engagement photos that were like something from a magazine, to capturing stunning candid moments that told the story of our wedding day perfectly. She went above and beyond, even to blow-dry my dress after we got caught in an unexpected downpour, making what could have been a stressful moment feel manageable and even fun. She read me so well throughout the day, knowing exactly when I needed a quiet moment to myself versus when I was ready for portraits. Her attention to detail, kindness, and genuine care made her an invaluable part of our celebration, and her work is something we’ll treasure forever. We hope to continue to work with Kayla to capture future milestones!
