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. If I could give more than five stars, I would.

We could not have been happier with the services and product we received! We picked Nora as our photographer as it seemed like she was great at using natural lighting and did a good job with capturing photos that weren’t posed. We were not disappointed! Nora made the process as easy as humanly possible and very comfortable. She was able to read us easily and could tell when the group was getting restless and even could tell if I wanted certain photos without me saying. Nora was the only photographer but managed to capture all the photos we could have hoped for. The ceremony photos were beautiful but the reception photos perfectly captured the night. The quality of the photos when we got them was spectacular. Additionally, the entirety of the photos were sent to us within just over 4 weeks despite the fact that they had 8 weeks. Lastly, we booked the DJ through essence as well (spinning’ discs) and Nora and the dj worked together great which made it that much easier. If you’re considering essence, do it - you will not regret!

Hey! I'm Mackenzie - mom, photographer, wife and book + latte obsessed! Ideal day starts with a latte and a bagel sandwich (because going out for breakfast is the BEST) and ends with a good book. Throw in a photoshoot or wedding in the middle and I'm set!! I have been a professional photographer for 14 years now focusing on couples, families and small businesses. I am not a fan of super stiff posing so I use prompts and play games to capture your personalties and relationships. For weddings, most of your gallery will consist of candid shots of your day helping to tell your story. I'd love to chat with you more!!

I stumbled upon Mackenzie’s page because I was searching for someone who did photography and a bit of videography in one for a reasonable price. She was absolutely wonderful. My husband and I are awkward and she made us feel and look so comfortable. The quality of her work is amazing and unique. She went on to shoot my sister in laws wedding, her friends and our family shoots. Highly recommend!

Svat is a professional and an artist! We had a few hours set aside for photos before the ceremony and I honestly feel like we could have just taken pictures with Svat all day.

Hire Kate as your wedding photographer!! Kate was one of our absolute favorite vendors from our wedding and the day truly wouldn't have been the same or gone they way it did without her. From the initial meeting, to the check-ins, and the day-of, Kate was so kind and so professional. We had Kate photograph our welcome event the day before our wedding and it was a great way to get us and our guests comfortable before our big day. On the day of the wedding, we got so many compliments about Kate from the wedding party and our families. She made sure everyone knew where they needed to be, how to pose, and was so efficient with family photos before our ceremony. After the wedding, we received SO many sneak peeks within a week of the wedding and it was so fun getting to relive the day through her beautiful photography. If you're wondering if Kate is the right choice, just do it, you won't be disappointed! Thank you Kate for capturing our day and making everything so special.

My name is Jana Blue and I've been photographing weddings for 12 years. I'm consistent not in a trend of photos or style, but emotions. Each wedding and couples are so unique and my work follows that. In my career I've photographed both big production weddings and also intimate DIY ones. I've photographed informal engagements and elopements/weddings in a desert in Chile, in the mountains of Zion, in a beach in Croatia, in an ancient church in Greece and in forests in Brazil. I work with all different budgets and needs from my brides. I'm a preferred vendor of Chicago First Lady Boat, so I do weddings on the boat during the summer.

One thing’s certain: she will absolutely blow your mind.

I captured my first wedding in August of 2018, it was the day I fell head over heels in love with wedding photography. It's all about capturing the love story for me..the feels from beginning to end. When you book with AGS, you're signing on for an adventure. Your engagement session is a celebration full of us getting to know one another, lots of laughter, and having fun! As your wedding nears closer AGS will help with your timeline, connect with your vendors ( or introduce you to some of the best) and help plan out the perfect photo locations, along with any other needs to create the perfect day.

Gosh, I don't know where to begin with Arleigh. From the beginning, it felt like we knew Arleigh for the longest time. She made us feel so comfortable from the get-go. Her friendly and full of positivity and love personality made us feel so sure about choosing her as our wedding photographer. She captured our personalities and love in the most beautiful way. The photos she took truly showed who we were as a couple. In addition, she was a calming force as I was full of anxiety before walking down the aisle in front of a huge crowd. She made sure we were happy and calm the entire day and was always willing to take care of us in any way she could. I know I will be forever recommending Arleigh to others, as well as using her in the future for family portraits.

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!

Shooting weddings is what brings me the most fulfillment and joy. It is pretty amazing when your passion can become your career. I understand the importance of capturing the authenticity and uniqueness of your love. The most rewarding aspect of my work is seeing the joy, sacrifice, beauty and love in marriage. I will help you every step of the way to feel comfortable and confident, but I want to get all of the unplanned moments as well! If you think we're a fit, say hey!

As a fellow vendor, I have worked with Rachel and her team on several weddings and events. It is always a joy to work alongside her. I can put my full confidence in her to capture all of the details of that day, big and small, that the bride, groom and their families have spent months to plan and design. It is not common to see your photographer crouching down or scaling up to get that perfect perspective but Rachel does! She calmly and professionally helps to manage the bridal party and family during photo sessions. Rachel uses professional, engaging prompts to help get people in just the right mood and position to capture the moment. After each event I wait eagerly for her to deliver the galleries because looking through the hundreds of photos is like experiencing the joy of the day all over again! Rachel's style of curating and capturing the moment for her clients is exquisite and timeless. Just look through her galleries - You can feel the emotion of the moment and wish you could be right there, too! If you're looking for a photographer who has a modern yet timeless style and is professional, timely and fun to work with you've found the best fit for you.

We love exploring new places, and I’ll never say no to a good plate of nachos, a Snickers, or a fizzy water. Photography has been part of me for as long as I can remember—I’ve always had a camera in hand. Fun fact: my daughters are even named after a camera and after light (can you guess their names?). What I love most is capturing real, meaningful moments, especially weddings. Being able to preserve love stories in an authentic and lasting way is truly the heart of what I do.

Awarded Best of Zola
I hired Marissa as our photographer this past June for our Long Beach, California Wedding knowing she was going to capture every moment beautifully. Let me tell you, she delivered so much more. She helped keep forward momentum through the whole night when everything was just a joyful blur I was lost in. When an issue arose with the second photographer, she found a solution before we even knew of the problem. She was such an incredible asset throughout the entire experience. On top of that, our photos came out incredible. She captured the feeling of the wedding. So many touching moments, celebrations, and Justin and I have never looked better. I’m obsessed. I can’t rave enough about how incredible Marissa is. I could not imagine our wedding without her, you shouldn’t either. 100000/100 highly recommend

We used MBD for our DJ and decided to go with a photographer with them as well – wanted to streamline the number of vendors we dealt with. Great decision!! Planning a DJ and Photographer was so simple with MBD having one coordinator for us to work with ahead of the wedding. Taylor was assigned after letting them know the type of photographs we were looking for. I had an intro meeting with her as I wanted to be sure we at least had some rapport before making final selection. She was so nice and immediately seemed like a great fit. The day of she was spectacular. Our timing was a little off schedule, and she worked with our Coordinator seamlessly to keep us on track all while still ensuring we captured all the pictures we wanted. At the wedding and reception, she was everywhere, yet very unobtrusive – you didn’t notice her unless you were trying to notice her. She blended right in with everyone. While we won’t get pictures back immediately, we’re looking forward to seeing the final outputs.

I’m a high school English teacher, so all of that time I spend wrangling teenagers and getting them to do work helps me out when I’m directing your wedding party for photos. I love being a teacher, and I love the flexibility it gives me to pursue another passion of mine: photography.

Jason made us feel so comfortable during both our engagement photos, and on our wedding day. His personality allowed us to feel calm all day. He's second shooter, Jeremy, was just as outstanding. Jason's work is full of emotion, love, and talent. Choosing a photographer is very personal, and looking for the style you like can be challenging. Jason listened to what my dream was and was able to deliver just that. Jason's client portal is so easy to use, and allowed us to organize timeline, shot lists, etc. Jason sent us a substantial amount of "sneek peek" pictures the next day!!! Jason was able to customize a package that matched our exact needs & budget. If you are looking for a photographer to capture the quiet moments, Jason is 100% for you. I WILL be recommending Jason & his crew to all of my friends and family. Jason also does mini-photo shoots, family photos, etc.
