Rachael Marie Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves Tallula, IL

At the end of the day, all we have are the stories told about us and the ones we write about ourselves. I love writing about the musings of life and sharing my thoughts with others in conversation and social media posts. I constantly document my own life so I don't forget the big or little moments. Every time I travel to somewhere new I love connecting with those who cross my path, and yet I love coming home to my dog. TLDR: sentimental soul, avid movie goer, mental health advocate, and decent chocolate chip cookie maker.

Rachael was our photographer for our September 2023 wedding. There is no question that she was the absolute best person we could have had for such a special day. From beginning to end Rach helped us plan and execute our vision. We were not using a wedding planner, so she helped us get a lot of details and timelines on track. She also made sure we had fun and were able to relax through the whole process. On our wedding day Rach showed up ready to go and excited for a fun day. She captured so many beautiful moments between our first look, moments with family, ceremony, and reception. She also gifted us a moment alone to talk and take in the day just the two of us - it was so special and intimate. I will always cherish the memories and details she captured for us. Rachael also did our engagement shoot a few months before the wedding and those photos are so incredibly breathtaking. Some people have such a talent and artistry in what they do and Rachael is one of those people. If you are looking for someone who will become your friend, make you feel beautiful, and most importantly capture these special moments in a way that brings back every emotion of life and love when you look back at the photos, we 10000% recommend Rachael.

Julie Loy Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,400
  • Serves Tallula, IL

I’m Julie, a central Illinois wedding photographer. I’m especially drawn to small, intimate weddings where focus connection, emotion, and intention are the focs. With over 12 years behind the camera, my focus is on creating timeless, natural images that reflect who you truly are and how your day felt. I approach every wedding with calm energy, thoughtful guidance, and an eye for the moments that matter most—quiet glances, genuine laughter, and the details you carefully chose. My goal is to give you an experience that feels effortless and photographs you’ll look at for years to come.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Julie Loy Photography. She has been with me through so many of life’s most important milestones—my senior photos, college portraits, engagement, wedding, and now my daughter’s first birthday—and somehow she manages to outdo herself every single time. From the very beginning, she has had an incredible ability to make me (and everyone in front of the camera) feel comfortable, confident, and genuinely ourselves. Her eye for detail, lighting, and emotion is unmatched, and the final photos are always stunning, timeless, and full of heart. These aren’t just pictures—they are memories perfectly captured. What truly sets her apart is the consistency. Over the years, through different seasons of life, her professionalism, creativity, and passion have never wavered. She listens, cares, and she puts so much thought into every session. Watching her now capture my daughter’s milestones feels incredibly special and meaningful. If you’re looking for a photographer you can trust with your most important moments—someone who will grow with you and document your story beautifully—look no further. I am endlessly grateful for these memories and cannot recommend Julie Loy Photography highly enough.

Nicole and Michael went above and beyond for our wedding in Mexico. Not only did they travel all the way to Mexico for us, but when it poured down rain on our wedding day, they took extra time from their vacation to take even more photos of us a few days after our wedding. I told Nicole that I didn't want basic wedding photos, I wanted art, and she delivered! We plan to continue using Gray Photography Company for all of our family photos and future milestones. Cannot recommend them enough!

I am Kate Spencer, a wedding and portrait photographer based in Central Illinois and available for travel worldwide. I started this business in college knowing exactly what I was meant to be and determined to create beautiful art for all of my amazing clients! I am a dog momma, daughter, sister, aunt and loving girlfriend. Dustin is my better half, he allows me to chase my dreams and follow my heart. Our free time consists of country drives in the sun and cold days cuddled on the couch with our pups - most likely watching Harry Potter (if I get to choose).

Investing in Kate to be our wedding photographer was the best decision we made in our wedding planning process. From our engagement photos to our wedding photos, Kate was extremely helpful and instrumental in the planning process, providing us guidance and insight, not to mention how incredible her assistant Amy and 2nd photographer were. Myself and my bridesmaids got ready at The Bridal Loft the is located in Kate's studio.... There are NOT enough words to express how incredible this location is and beyond accommodating. My hair and make up team had ample room to get all of us ready for our wedding day and our bridal party had so much room to relax and get ready! Did I mention the lighting and great areas for photos of us getting ready? Kate Spencer is undoubtably the best of the best and an incredible asset to the Illinois photography community.

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.

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Awarded Best of Zola
Abby wasn’t able to travel to my wedding but she sent her assistants and she edited the photos. It went absolutely perfect. The photos were beautiful and I got so many meaningful photos with my family and his family that I wouldn’t have thought to get. I sent her draft of a timeline and the photographers printed it out and had it to make sure the photos I wanted got done. They were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much to Abby and her team.

The photos turned out beautiful and they captured all the big moments and some great candid shots. I especially love how cool the dance floor shots turned out.

Visil Photography provided amazing photography services for our wedding day. Victor was extremely respectful, informative, and positive in all of our communications leading up to the big event. On the wedding day itself, he was passionate about capturing all of those special moments we had envisioned. Victor has a gift for engaging with people and making them feel comfortable in front of the camera. He circulated seamlessly among our guests and captured countless touching interactions. My husband and I could not be happier with the beautiful, artistic photos Victor delivered. They will allow us to re-live our special day for years to come. I would highly recommend Visil Photography for any couple looking for a talented photographer who can beautifully document their wedding memories. Victor was a joy to work with!

We came to Chicago for a small elopement, just the two of us — and hiring Svat was one of the best decisions we made. He made the whole experience feel so special and personal. From the start, he was super communicative and made sure he understood what we wanted. On the day of, he took us around downtown, showed us the most amazing spots, and made us feel completely at ease the whole time. It honestly felt more like hanging out with a friend than doing a photo shoot — and somehow, in the middle of all the fun and laughs, he captured the most beautiful, intimate photos we’ve ever had. If you’re planning an elopement or small wedding in Chicago, don’t even think twice. Book Svat — he gets it.
