Sara Bowdler Photography, LLC 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,700
  • Serves Hainesville, IL

A Southern Illinois native who started my photography journey near the mountains of Colorado who has found myself whisked away by the windy city of Chicago, in love with preserving the love of others. I travel all over (take me to the Bahamas or Europe please!) & also serve the states of Wisconsin, Michigan, Colorado & Utah.

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.

Her communication was prompt, detailed, and personable, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of her work is truly stunning - her light and airy style beautifully captures the details and natural light of our special day. Bozena shot our engagement session as well, so we knew it would be a breeze to work with her on our wedding day. She was a joy to have by our side, and the photos she delivered just 12 days after our wedding are incredible. We are thrilled with the way she was able to document all the special moments that made our day so unique and meaningful.

Based in Huntley, IL, JVaughn Photography LLC adores producing stylish wedding images for couples to cherish. Serving special occasions in the Windy City and beyond, skilled photographer Justin Vaughn has a captivating style that will surely charm you and your partner. Justin is committed to providing you with a collection of pictures that keeps all of your magical moments of matrimony alive forevermore. JVaughn Photography LLC is available for weddings across the USA and worldwide. Justin can adapt his style to suit your aesthetic preferences, specializing in artistic, documentary, and modern photography styles.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we hired JVaughn Photography we knew we were getting an amazing photographer but we had no idea we would be getting such an amazing person and friend out of it too! Justin is the absolute sweetest person we have had the honor of meeting and he has such a great eye to make our vision come to life! He made sure to have a meeting with us to get to know us and understand the vibe we wanted for our photos and he kept constant communication throughout the entire process to make sure all the bases were covered and he had a clear understanding of the timeframe and game plan. He was the one vendor we NEVER had to worry about. After he gave us our engagement photos, everyone knew he was the perfect photographer for us. Once the wedding day came, the entire bridal party and guests could not stop raving about how much they loved him! He gives clear direction on how to pose, what to do with your hands, how to fix your face, and knows how to use lighting. One of our biggest concerns when finding a photographer is having someone know how to use lighting because more often than not either I get lost in the light or my fiancé gets lost since our complexions are so far from each other. Thankfully Justin knew exactly how to make it all work out! He also stuck to the game plan and made sure none of those important shots are missed but he was also flexible enough to allow us to add in and change some of that game plan. I can honestly sit here and say that thanks to JVaughn Photography, our big day was absolutely perfect (even during covid). We already told him to get ready for our maternity photos, gender reveal, baby shower, and family portraits. I will forever recommend him to EVERYONE.

Roni Rose Photography

  • Serves Hainesville, 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.

Isaac did a wonderful job photographing our backyard wedding. He did a brilliant job capturing my visions as well as brought ideas of his own. We are very grateful we were able to book Isaac for our wedding, he truly immortalized the day and we have so many beautiful photos to reflect on for the rest of our lives.

So there’s no “I” in team right?! While Captured Couture is the product of years of hard work that I built from the ground up. I have an amazing team because sometimes takes more than just me. For larger events or on occasions when I am already booked one of my team members will gladly assist with your event. We’ve covered hundreds of weddings together, and have refined our editing style and way of shooting to be completely consistent. You won’t be able to tell the difference. Pinky promise! No matter where you’re planning from when it clicks, it clicks.

Awarded Best of Zola
My (now) husband and I chose to hire Jennifer from Captured Couture as our photographer for our wedding. We were both blown away by her images posted on her website and Instagram page and after having a phone interview we were convinced she was the one for us. Jennifer was communicative and so easy to work with. We were able to get a free engagement session with the purchase of our package which was awesome because we were able to meet her in person before our actual wedding. The day of the wedding there were a few minor hiccups as our wedding was the same day as the Detroit Pride fest, and we weren’t sure some of our desired locations would be accessible. Without a moment of hesitation Jennifer, who knows the city of Detroit incredibly well, was able to secure a location for our first look and our wedding party photos which turned out to be perfect. Jennifer and her assistant LeAnn captured every part of our wedding with some much care and attention to detail. Our photos are spectacular and we are so thankful for our photography team. Both my husband and I would definitely recommend Captured Couture to anyone looking for wedding photography.

MSMP Media was the perfect choice for our wedding. Beyond the fact that their editing style was what we were looking for with bright photos, their team was incredible. We had the pleasure of working with their West Michigan Team. Jordan was fantastic and even got me a small birthday gift because my wedding was on my birthday! It was small details like this that really made our experience so great. She was great at getting us ready for photos with great directions. None of the wedding party were huge "photo" people, but she made us feel comfortable to allow for such great photos. Her eye for shots was fantastic. We have gotten so many compliments on our photos from everyone that we have shared them with! Beyond the photos themselves and the actual wedding day, Marisa had great communication. We received sneak peak photos within a day of the wedding and had the entire album less than a month out of the wedding. From what we have been told, this is a great timeline. We are so happy to have booked MSMP!

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!!!

Hey there, I’m Lauren! I’m a wedding and boudoir photographer based in Grand Rapids, MI. I believe your photos should feel like you—natural, honest, and full of emotion. No stiff posing here—just real, unscripted moments that tell your story. I’ll help you feel confident and comfortable, whether it's your wedding day, a boudoir session, or a just-because adventure. Outside of photography, I’m usually hiking, doing Jiu-Jitsu, or traveling with my wife. Let’s create something timeless and unforgettable together!

We all know that hiring vendors for your wedding is stressful, but Lauren was stress free and my BEST choice! She communicated with me throughout the entire planning process and helped me iron out all the details surrounding the big day. As someone who didn’t use a wedding planner, this was huge for me because I had no idea what I was doing. Lauren helped me through this by providing some timeline templates, and answered any questions that came up (even if it didn’t relate directly to photography). Aside from planning, I knew I had made the right choice when we shot our engagement photos. Obviously the final product is why you hire a photographer, but Lauren provided high quality photos AND a great experience! My husband does not like his photo taken and will usually morph into a toddler who throws tantrums when asked to stand in front of a camera for too long - but not with Lauren. We had so much fun shooting with her, she really made it an awesome experience and my husband actually enjoyed himself! For our wedding day we had exactly the same experience, just on a much larger scale. We had a few last minute changes to the plan, and Lauren made sure that for every sacrifice that was made, that there was no detail or photo opportunity missed. She even spent 20 minutes in a broom closet with my mom and I to try to get my bustle buttoned before the dances. Everyone who interacted with Lauren on that day had nothing but great things to say about their experience working with her, and she was absolutely my favorite vendor on my wedding day. Our photos were sent to us before the date they were promised by and they are absolutely PERFECT. We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives! Lauren is phenomenal at what she does, but more than that she is an amazing person. I truly feel like I’ve gained a friend by working with her and I will never use another photographer to capture my memories. I’m so lucky to have found her, and if you get the opportunity to do so I would 1,000,000% recommend it!

The Chicago Group is a premier wedding photography and videography company dedicated to capturing love stories with authenticity and style. Combining artistic vision with a documentary approach, we create timeless, emotional images and films that reflect the essence of each couple’s special day. With a passion for storytelling, we ensure every moment is beautifully preserved for a lifetime.

I still get goosebumps watching our highlight film because it feels so real, like we’re back there again. The colours are warm and beutiful without looking fake. I was sooo worried about posing, but they guided us gently and then let moments just happen. My mom keeps saying the audio of our vows is clearer than she remembered in person. They even caught my grandma’s tiny wink during the reception, which made me cry-laugh. Delivery was faster than we expected, like wow. I legit can’t stop rewatching.

Heather Olker of Olker Wedding Photo was an amazing artist to work with from start to finish. As a great listener, she was very respectful of our wishes and took the time to understand our vision for our special day. Punctual and ready to capture every moment, Heather was loving and passionate about her craft. She listened closely to the details that were important to us, like our Disney-inspired wedding in the Carousel Museum in CT, and made sure to beautifully document all the magical moments, from our engagement photos in NYC's Times Square and Central Park to the carousel at our ceremony. We are thrilled with the final results and couldn't be happier that we chose Olker Wedding Photo to be a part of our wedding.

My passion for wedding photography stems from my love of storytelling. Weddings are filled with moments of joy, laughter, and love, and I believe in honoring every genuine connection and fleeting glance that happens throughout the day. Every couple has a unique story, and my goal is to help you relive yours for years to come through images that evoke the same emotions you felt on your wedding day. Being in Business for 6years with over 120 Wedding shot across the country.

We started with an engagement shoot to get to know him, which I highly recommend. Throughout the process he was a great communicator, and always helped with any questions. When it came to the wedding day he was super organized, and stayed on our timeline which was great. Most importantly, the pictures are beautiful!! 10/10

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.

We are so beyond thankful that we went with Kayla to photograph our wedding. Throughout our engagement shoot and the wedding day- watching her work is truly incredible. She is a master and finding little moments that bring absolute magic to her photos. Never did we feel like we were doing cheesy poses on our wedding day, and the photos reflect that. We have been looking through our sneak peek pictures obsessively because they instantly bring us back to our wedding day. Throughout which, Kayla was the calm amid the chaos. She was so focused on helping us stay on time and navigating us from one task to the next. It was such a comfort knowing that she had our backs and was ensuring that we got all of the big (and small) moments we had discussed leading up to the day. We can’t wait to see the rest of our photos. We know that choosing her as our photographer was one of absolute best decisions for our entire process - from engagement to wedding day. If her pictures haven’t already convinced you- let this be your sign! You want this one.
