My name is Kate Scott Daly, and I can't wait to meet you! I'm a Chicago native and have been a professional photographer for nearly a decade. I am obsessed with capturing the perfect moment that will make you gasp and say "Oh my god, this is amazing!" Being a queer woman, it is so important to me that you feel safe, loved, and beautiful every step of the way. If you're looking for someone you can relax with and just be yourself, you've found me! Let's face it: it can be awkward being in front of a camera. Even I feel nervous sometimes! I understand that anxiety and will do everything I can to make you feel fabulous!

β€œWe cannot recommend Kate enough! From the moment we met her, she made us feel completely comfortable and celebrated our love with so much enthusiasm. As a queer couple, it was important for us to work with someone who not only respected but truly celebrated queer weddings, and Kate went above and beyond. She took the time to help us clarify our vision for our wedding photos, which was especially helpful since we only had 6 weeks to plan our wedding and felt a little overwhelmed by the process. She was a great guide and we immediately knew we were in good hands! Kate’s associate Ryan shot the photos on our wedding day and they captured every special momentβ€”from the big emotional vows to the smallest, most intimate glancesβ€”with such artistry and care. The photos are breathtaking, full of life, and truly reflect the joy of our day. Right when Ryan arrived, they jumped in with capturing photos of small details and worked to capture everything we wanted for our special day. Kate and Ryan were both an absolute delight to work withβ€”professional, fun, and incredibly talented. If you're looking for a photographer who will make you feel seen, respected, and celebrated while delivering stunning photos, look no further. We are beyond grateful for Kate and Ryan and will cherish these photos forever! Thank you for making our wedding memories so magical!”

Digital + Film Wedding Photography Hi! I'm Emma, owner and lead photographer of Emma Mullins Photography. Our goal is simple: to capture your vibe, your people, and your love in a way that looks and feels true to life. We just wrapped our 13th Chicago wedding season, and it's been a whirlwind of all things real and fabulous! Emma Mullins Photography embraces diversity and inclusivity. We are a proud ally of the LGBTQ+ community and happy to serve humans of every background, gender and identity.

Awarded Best of Zola
β€œWe are huge fans of Emma! Here are 5 reasons she should also be your wedding photographer: 1. Emma is incredibly nice and was so generous with wedding organizing wisdom. She helped us feel more confident about the thousands of small details in the entire process, from our first Zoom meeting with her to the engagement photo shoot to the final shots on our wedding day 2. She is incredibly thorough as a communicator. We never had any question about what she needed or what she was doing before, during, or after the ceremony. And she was even very communicative via email with our moms(!) 3. She is so organized but also so creative. She kept our wedding day smooth by planning out all the posed shots needed, and she got all photos back to us in an always impressive timeframe. But she was also always open for a surprising shot or a little experiment. It made her work feel even more personal 4. She was a rock star on our wedding day, if you couldn’t tell. And she was a super fun hang during our engagement photo session, which featured Emma, my wife, and I improvising playful shots during a sudden rain storm(!) 5. Most of all, when she’s taking photos of you, her excitement in that moment fires you up more and makes you feel so comfortable. She makes you feel like your pictures are the best wedding photos ever taken. (But ours were, obviously)”

The best part about what we do are the stories we get to tell. The happily-ever-afters, the love-at-first-sights…it’s the truth in a moment and a look that says it all. As Chicago area wedding photographers for over twenty years now, we’ve seen and captured just about every incarnation of true love imaginable. That’s why we approach your special day as a unique journey we take together. We walk you through every step, from proposal and engagement photos and perfectly capturing those forever wedding day moments with photography, videography, and content creation, to expertly crafting your very first family heirloom…your wedding album!

Awarded Best of Zola
β€œTWA Photographic Artists were straightforward and direct in their communication, and kept us on schedule throughout our wedding day. Their work was great, capturing many timeless and detailed shots. However, at times they seemed a bit hurried when working with our wedding party and guests, though they remained attentive and eager to get the right shots. For example, the photographer remembered the little details that made our photos special, but we felt a bit rushed after the ceremony and didn't fully capture the joy of those moments. Overall, TWA provided solid photography services, but could have been a bit more patient and attuned to our desired pace for the day.”

A cinematic eye. --- A bleeding heart. --- An inclusive spirit. --- I've picked up a camera just about every day since I fell in love with photography in 2013. Though every shoot holds something unique, it takes a lot to catch me off guard after a decade in business. I pride myself on my ability to quickly connect with my clients, making them feel comfortable, cared for, and confident that they look great.

Hi there! I'm Emily Rose, the sole photographer + editor of your wedding photos! I have been shooting weddings for a decade and love connecting with my clients as much as I love photographing them! They feel like close friends by the end of the day. I am documentary-style, in that I never stop shooting. While I help with posing during portrait sessions to make sure you look your best, I also love capturing the laughter of guests, the teary-eyed parents, the flower girl running up to you and hugging you at first sight, the tiny details, the real smiles you share with your spouse + the quiet, intimate moments between you two throughout the day.

Awarded Best of Zola
β€œI have a lot to say here so let me do a TLDR: if you’re here reading this review it likely means photography is important to you. And if that is true, please just book Emily (Hello Rose Photography) because it should be illegal how amazing she is. Send the message as soon as you possibly can. Like right now. Please. The long version: Emily is an INSANELY AMAZING photographer. Color, posing, vibe, attitude, patience, EVERYTHING. Photography was on my top 3 non negotiable list for me, truly the most important thing next to having our dog at our wedding. Leading up to our wedding, I would randomly see her photos and be like β€˜omg those are beyond gorgeous I hope my photos look like that’ and then I’d notice it WAS HER. Validation I never knew I needed. If you’re on the fence, just do it. She’s the kindest, gentlest soul and it truly put us at such ease. And she meshed so well with our quirky sense of humor. She also had the patience of a saint with our high energy doggo and capture the actual cutest photos of her. She captured love I’ve never seen between us (it’s hard when you’re looking at your person but it’s even harder for someone to be good enough to capture it). Her candids are literally the best I’ve ever seen. Of me and my dog, me and my friends, my husband and his friends, idk she’s just INSANELY GOOD. I love candids, if you’re a candid person WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR. I promise, I will bet everything on it, you will absolutely not regret spending a single penny on Emily. Honestly, she should charge more. We also had the ABSOLUTE pleasure of working with Bridgid on our wedding day. She complimented Emily so well and truly, I didn’t feel like we had 2 photographers they were so supportive and in tune with each other. Bridgid also found us funny and loved our doggo too. She even threw her the tennis ball. These ladies work so well together that I truly could not tell you who took which photo. SEAMLESS. I truly missed their presence, outside of photography, when they left for the day. These angels probably still don’t know the impact they had on us but one day I hope they see this review and know how important they were (and are) to our day.”

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.

β€œMother of the bride here!!! Wendy Schreier Photography was an absolute dream to work with for my daughter's engagement pictures. From the moment my daughter Megan first spoke with Wendy, she was blown away by her professionalism, enthusiasm, and clear passion for her craft. The photos she captured of their engagement are truly stunning - I am in awe of her talent and eye for detail. Wendy made Megan and Alex so comfortable in front of the camera that all of the smiles that you see on their faces are genuine and natural. When she received the final gallery, she literally cried tears of joy. They exceeded her expectations in every way. They are 10 times more beautiful than she could ever have imagined. If Megan's engagement pictures are this beautiful, I can't wait to see what she creates on her wedding day. If you have landed on Wendy's website in search of the perfect photographer, STOP LOOKING, YOU HAVE JUST FOUND HER!”

Hi! I'm John, a wedding photographer based in Chicago, IL. I believe deeply that great wedding photography is about creating imagery that is as visually compelling, as it is emotionally significant. Weaving the images together to tell unforgettable stories. My distinct 'documentary meets fine-art' style is a product of my unrelenting commitment to my craft and the complete trust that my couples place in me. I primarily cover weddings in the Chicagoland area, but I will travel to any destination worldwide for those seeking an adventure.

β€œJohn was AMAZING from the beginning to the very end! We were married in August of 2024 the Friday before Labor Day weekend. John made sure every single detail was discussed & planned prior to our BIG day. He made sure the shots I wanted downtown happened even though the wait at City Hall took longer than expected. I cannot express my complete gratitude for all the beautiful memories John caught of me, my family, my husband, and my fur babies! 10 out of 10 I HIGHLY recommend!”

β€œOne of the greatest compliments I’ve ever received was that my photographs were beyond stunning and worthy of being featured in a wedding magazineβ€”and I couldn’t agree more. Noelle’s passion and artistry in photography are truly spectacular. Every photograph from my engagement session and wedding was elegant, timeless, and far exceeded my expectations. Noelle and her team were an absolute pleasure to work with, and I trusted them completely with my wedding day vision, which they brought to life beautifully. I couldn’t recommend her enough!”

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!

β€œFuller Photo Co. (Jordan) was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day. From the very beginning, she was super responsive, clear in outlining all of our options, and extremely helpful in guiding us on how to best plan and capture our special day in a creative way. The quality of her work is phenomenal, it perfectly captured all the little moments we saw throughout the day, and also brought to life so many beautiful details that we didn't even notice in the moment. Looking back, we feel like you can truly feel the emotions of our wedding day in their photographs. Jordan and their team helped us stay relaxed and authentic throughout, allowing us to truly be present and enjoy ourselves rather than just staging the perfect shots (although we got plenty of those too!). We've somehow appreciated her style even more as time has gone on. Highly, highly recommend Fuller Photo Co. to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.”
