Jay and his team are the absolute best. Our wedding plans included many obstacles and changes and jay was there through it all to give his advice and to just be there whenever we had a final plan. The day of our small elopement to city hall we had one of Jays best sidekicks. I’ll forever be grateful for Jay and his team who made our wedding pictures so special.
Fox & Ivory was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding. Victor, our main photographer, was incredibly helpful with posing tips, and the sneak peeks we’ve received so far are absolutely stunning. Jay, who handled our communications leading up to the big day, made the entire process smooth and stress-free.
In my opinion, your wedding photographer is one of the most important vendors you’ll choose. You’re trusting them to capture one of the most significant moments of your life, and Fox & Ivory truly delivered. The quality of their work is definitely worth the investment, and we are so pleased with how everything turned out.
I highly recommend Fox & Ivory for your wedding photography needs—they made our day even more memorable, and I’m so glad we found them!
We cannot say enough good things about Jay, Peter and their team! They did a tremendous job capturing our engagement photos and wedding day! Our sneak peeks for wedding day came in 3 days of our wedding day and we received more than 40 of them! We did the photo and video package and are so excited to see the final products! We loved working with this team!
Any questions?
Fox + Ivory was super easy to work with. Their process is simple, straightforward and helpful in getting us to think about different aspects of the day that we wouldn't have thought of otherwise, this being our first rodeo and all.
Our photographer was Justin, who was so fun & easygoing! He got creative whenever we hit any snags. For example, the weather did not cooperate with us so we pivoted to new locations and he had such a positive & encouraging attitude about things. We loved working with him & would absolutely pick him again.
We haven't seen all of our pics yet, but we got a handful of previews a week later & they look great!
Jay and Victor at fox and Ivory were fantastic to work with. We appreciated the transparency and collaboration we had! They captured our day exactly as we envisioned and all our guests raved about how great of a job Victor did! We appreciated that they listened to what we wanted and worked diligently to make it happen. Fox and Ivory is also reasonably priced and works to achieve your vision.
We had a great experience with Fox + Ivory for our wedding. Sadie was our photographer and she was wonderful and so knowledgeable. I felt like we were in really great hands. It's been really easy to work with the team at Fox + Ivory and I recommend them to anyone. Our photos we have so far turned out so beautiful. Thanks to everyone at Fox + Ivory for being flexible and capturing our wedding.
I can’t speak highly enough of our photographers – special shout out to Kelsy and Kirsten for being the absolute best on our wedding day! All of our wedding party complimented on how fun they were to work with! Our photos, both the engagement shoot and the wedding, all turned out amazing and we will cherish them for a lifetime. The photos were stunning, crisp, and truly captured our day exactly how we envisioned it. How we’re going to pick our favorites is going to be an impossible task! The entire process was seamless and we highly recommend working with Fox + Ivory if you’re looking for an A+ team of vendors!
We hired Fox + Ivory for the photo and video of our 3 day South Asian fusion wedding in Chicago in October 2024, and we cannot praise them enough. We worked with Jay, Zohair, Justin, and Manuela for our photos and Eli for our video, and each one of them was so passionate about their work and such a joy to be around.
From our first call with Peter, we loved the team’s candidness, humor, and dedication to capturing our wedding’s details and the emotion it evoked. They worked with us to come up with a custom package for the three-day weekend long celebration. Throughout our planning process, the team checked in with us on timeline help, and we loved being able to get to know our photographers via engagement sessions. The team was so quick to address any questions or concerns and went absolutely above and beyond to ensure we felt comfortable and confident in working with them.
On the wedding weekend, working with each member of this team brought a smile to our faces. They captured every small detail in lay flats, worked so caringly with our guests, and even transported me (the bride!) to our first look location in their car when we didn’t have anything organized. The team was timely, handling a quick turnaround from Saturday night to Sunday morning with grace, and they kept us smiling and laughing through our photos, even when we were getting ready at 6 am.
We truly cannot recommend Fox + Ivory enough and would rate them higher than 5 stars if we could. We’ve received our sneak peek photos and cannot stop looking at them. This team is truly a dream team! If you are looking for high-quality shots that capture the essence of your wedding, and a team that makes your wedding day (or days!) easier, more fun, and joyful, this is your team.
I absolutely loved Fox & Ivory. We had Kelsy for our day of photographer. The poor girl had a tire BLOW out on wedding day, and did not miss a beat. The communication was all so professional, detailed and quick. I felt they are one of the more affordable photography companies in Chicagoland while having great work. We just send our thank you's with sneak peek photos and we're so eager to see the rest!! :)
We are absolutely thrilled with the incredible work Jay and his Fox + Ivory team delivered for our wedding! While we missed Jay on our special day, his team of photographers and videographers, especially Erin, were the epitome of professionalism, making every step of the process feel seamless and enjoyable. Their eye for detail and commitment to their craft was apparent in every shot—they truly captured the magic of our day in ways we’ll cherish forever.
On top of that, they brought such fun-loving attitudes and positivity that our entire wedding party felt at ease and excited to work with them. They were adventurous, willing to try anything we asked of them, and provided suggestions that we never would have considered.
Erin, and the rest of the Fox + Ivory team made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, allowing our personalities to shine through naturally. We couldn’t have asked for a more talented, upbeat, and all-around amazing team to capture our wedding day.
We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a team that combines expertise, creativity, and great energy!
Fox & Ivory was one of the first vendors we signed with for our October 2023 wedding after booking our venue. Photos were super important to us and we loved the feel of Fox & Ivory’s photos – classic and timeless style that still felt modern and creative without looking stuffy or stilted. They were transparent in their pricing and within our budget which was a huge plus for us. In our search we saw some industry photographers that had packages starting at $7-10,000, which, while we admired their work, was not something we could afford.
In part of booking, we were able to see the portfolios of the photographers available on our date and then choose our lead photographer. We had multiple prep-phone calls with Jay leading up to the day to go over details and plan as well as a phone call with our lead photographer two days before our wedding day.
Nisa (our lead photographer) was simply amazing. Her calm, warm presence made it easy for us to feel comfortable when being in front of the camera wasn’t natural for us. She was able to switch gears when crazy high winds and weather forced us to find an alternative location for first look photos after the hotel’s rooftop was no longer a safe option; and she was able to wrangle our extended family and bridal party with charm and ease and professional poise.
We received our gallery link a few weeks later and the photos were simply stunning. We were so excited that we actually hooked up our laptop to our TV and watched the entire gallery as a slideshow. Nisa and her team captured so many details and photo memories that we will cherish forever.
You hear horror stories about wedding photographers so we were nervous about hiring this vendor for our wedding. Our planner turned us on to Fox + Ivory and we were immediately comfortable. We could not have been more pleased with our experience. From the very first call, Jay and his team were so responsive. They were honest, paid attention to every detail and made our whole experience fun. Our pictures are just beautiful. And we LOVED our photographer Justin and his whole team. They became friends in a day and I actually teared up a little when the night was over and they said farewell. On our big day they listened to my every question and request. Nothing was too big or little to ask of them. Even my husband (who HATES having his picture taken) enjoyed the whole experience. And their package pricing was a steal. The value for the money was shocking. We just couldn't be more pleased with our pictures or our experience.
We highly recommend Fox + Ivory! They will reach out to set up a phone call to understand your wedding day expectations. After booking, you can review the photographer portfolios to choose which photographer you would like to work with on your big day. Fox + Ivory team will help you create a 'day of' schedule, and will check in with you multiple times leading up to your date.
We chose to work with Jennifer and she was AMAZING! She has a bright, fun, energetic personality. She immediately took charge upon arriving to our hotel to get all of the getting ready photos, details shots, etc. She told the wedding party how to pose, kept us on schedule, had many creative and artistic ideas, and was patient with family photos (IYKYK). I genuinely feel that our wedding day wouldn't have felt the same without Jennifer as our photographer. We appreciate all of her effort into making our day memorable and capturing our special moments!
We received a 'sneak peek' photo gallery of 20-30 photos the weekend after our wedding, and the photos are gorgeous! We can't wait to see the rest of the gallery. We highly recommend working with Fox + Ivory!
Jay and Kirsten just absolutely nailed our photography for our wedding. We did our engagement shoot with Jay and then had both of them on our big day. They were easy to communicate with about all of our logistics, were fun and easy to be around, very professional, prompt in getting us back photos, and we love how the photos turned out. They recommended some places to take our wedding party photos around Chicago that we wouldn’t have thought of, and they were perfect places. They really know what they’re doing and you won’t regret working with them!
What an amazing team! Jen, our day of photographer, made us feel so comfortable and we had so much fun with all the photos taken! Some of the most beautiful photos we have ever had taken and we cannot reccomend enough! We will live through the memories of those photos for many years to come. Thank you for capturing and for making our day!
F&I was one of our favorite vendors from our wedding! They were incredibly communicative and professional. Nisa and her team were phenomenal, the pictures and video came out beautifully. Jay's customer service was top notch. Couldn't recommend enough!
Having Fox and Ivory for photo/video at our wedding was the best decision we could have made. From the very beginning, Jay made such an effort to get to know us as a couple and ensure we were comfortable in front of the camera. At the time of our engagement we were living out of state, he flew out to us to shoot our engagement photos without hesitation. Jay and his team were fantastic every step of the way. So easy to communicate with, they addressed any concerns we had and, of course, their work was absolutely beautiful. They managed to capture our wedding day without making us feel like we were at a photoshoot. We were able to enjoy our day completely. We really could not have asked for a better vendor!
We absolutely loved our experience with Fox and Ivory! Jay was so organized and helpful in the planning process which made the experience effortless from the start. Nisa and Jen were incredible on our wedding day and were so receptive of our vision and expectations for our wedding. Our pictures turned out absolutely beautiful and we loved how they were able to truly depict the essence of our wedding celebration. You can feel the emotion, excitement, and energy in all of our pictures and for that, we are forever grateful. We highly recommend Fox and Ivory as they were able to deliver on everything we were looking for and more!
My husband and I seriously could not have been happier with Fox + Ivory. From the first moment I contacted them, every single interaction with them was a 10 out of 10. Truly. They hit the ball so far out of the park on professionalism, talent, communication and value that I feel like they’re the blueprint for how every vendor should operate.
Professionalism: Peter and Jay are the consummate pros. They know their stuff and give it to you straight, anticipate your needs—AND always make you feel special. I would imagine that doing this for a while, your interactions with clients can get a little “transactional.” But not with them. They never take the importance of their jobs for granted, and every interaction feels thoughtful, meaningful and personalized. Plus, they are laugh-out-loud funny and such a joy to work with! When I emailed Jay some questions I had, I appreciated that he immediately suggested we hop on a call instead of going back and forth electronically. And I felt so much better after I spoke with him in person.
Talent: Well, the photos speak for themselves. So natural. So candid. So inspired. We absolutely ADORED our photographer, Violet. First of all, she is the friendliest, kindest person you will ever meet. She had such an easy way with us, and we instantly felt comfortable and confident in her hands. I swear, she could make us look good sitting in squalor, if she had to. But we loved our time with her on our actual wedding day and didn’t want her to leave! She blends in during the intimate moments, goes with the flow, has great ideas and captures all the best moments you want to see and share over and over. She really is so special and we can’t say enough great things about her.
Communication. Peter and Jay tell you everything you need and nothing you don’t at the exact time you need it, while always looking forward to what’s next. None of their emails, advice or notes seem canned, but rather carefully curated and meaningful. You always know exactly where you are in the process.
Value. My god, these guys are priceless. Honestly, I think they’re a steal for what you get because you can’t put a price tag on their level of professionalism, communication and talent combined. I cannot recommend them highly enough. And I know they will never become monsters from all my compliments (which they deserve!) because they’re just too nice of people. I'm a Forever Fan.
We loved our experience with Fox and Ivory! The entire team was professional--all our questions/concerns were addressed, and we got responses in a timely manner. We never felt like anyone was trying to upsell us. Special shout out to our photographer Victor. We were asked to complete a form before the big day with details, and it was clear that Victor meticulously went through everything. He knew our preferences, notes, and schedule in and out. He had incredible attention to detail and helped us feel comfortable taking photos all day. From the minute he arrived to the last shot taken, he was putting in his 110% to get the perfect photos for us. We got our edited photos within the timeframe promised, and our jaws dropped as we went through the gallery. Highly recommend them for your wedding day.
We have only wonderful things to share about Fox & Ivory!! Fox and Ivory was the only vendor that we used in our wedding process that was not a recommendation from a friend/family member. We spoke with Jay several times over the phone and back and forth through email. Once we met our photographer Justin for the engagement shoot, our nerves were immediately eased. We LOVED working with Justin, not only did he have the best enthusiasm, his photos turned out STUNNING! Our engagement photos are gorgeous! Justin was an absolute joy to be with on our wedding day, he is the type of person you want around you during your special time!! We highly recommend Fox & Ivory and loved every minute of working with Justin!
After looking for and meeting with many photographers, we decided to go with Violet from Fox and Ivory. During our engagement shoot, Violet made things very comfortable and fun which really helped solidify that we made the right choice for the wedding. We also had her shoot our rehearsal dinner and we are so glad we did, she walked around and captured so many amazing moments.
For the wedding we hired both videography and photography and both teams were excellent at helping keep us(me) at ease and make it fun and comfortable to have cameras around. Our pictures are amazing and captured the memories even better than I could have hoped and the team we worked with really added to our big day!
Jay was very communicative and helpful during the entire process which also helped make wedding planning easier. We highly recommend Fox and Ivory, especially Violet and her team!
From the moment we inquired with Fox + Ivory, we knew we were in the best hands. On our intro call, Jay answered all of our questions and made us feel completely at ease. Jay and Peter went above and beyond and flew out to NYC and did a special engagement session for us, delivering gorgeous photos and a beautiful video the following week. The images and film captured us as a couple perfectly and gave us the confidence we needed going into the wedding as people who are not super comfortable in front of a camera. On our wedding day, we worked with Jen as our Lead Photographer and Sadie as our Assistant Photographer, and to say they were amazing is an understatement. They approached every shot with so much fun and creativity, and they hyped us up all day long. Jen even placed my veil for me when nobody else could figure it out—talk about going the extra mile! While we haven’t received our final photos yet, we have no doubt they will be incredible. We got glimpses of a few on the camera day-of and they already looked amazing! If you’re looking for talented photographers and all around good people, consider your research done. We feel so lucky that we got to work with so many of Fox + Ivory’s talented team members.
Where do I even begin about Fox & Ivory? Our wedding was a little over two weeks ago and while we await our photos & film to come back, I have no doubt they’ll be incredible. Jay was so easy to communicate with, often providing me with outside vendor recommendations. Where do I even begin about Maddie & Eli?! Maddie made me feel so calm, chill, & at ease the day of our wedding. My husband absolutely loved working with Manuela & Niko as well. Our Fox & Ivory team knocked it out of the park! We couldn’t have asked for a better team!
I knew Fox & Ivory was a special company from my initial phone call with Jay. His professionalism and calm and collected manner allowed me to trust him and his company with capturing our special day. I truly enjoyed being able to look at lead photographer portfolios, to choose a great for for my wedding day. Maddie and Elijah from Fox & Ivory are worth their weight in gold! As our primary/secondary photographer respectively, they captured every detail I asked for, and details I didn't even know I needed! Our photos are bright, airy, and candid. Maddie and Elijah made our bridal party feel so comfortable, which allowed for amazing photos. I am so pleased with every photo they captured. I would highly recommend Fox & Ivory to any bride who is looking for a company that will go the extra mile to ensure you have your dream wedding day!
AMAZING! We chose Fox + Ivory for our engagement and wedding photography and would highly recommend! We had the pleasure of working with Jay who captured our day beautifully! Jay and his team were very professional, communicative, and personable. We could not be happier with the end result and will treasure our special day forever! Fox + Ivory is simply the best- look no further and book them!
Fox and Ivory was an amazing choice for both photography and videography for our wedding. From day 1, Jay was excellent at communicating, planning, and went above and beyond to help make recommendations for photo locations, timeline, and other vendors. On wedding day, the whole team was efficient, uplifting, and overall great to work with. We loved the unique photos and videos the team provided and it was all delivered to us in a very timely fashion. Would highly recommend!

Jay and Kelsy were the most amazing team for our wedding. We just got our photos back and they are even better than we could have dreamed of. They captured all of the special moments of the day and the pure joy throughout the wedding day / reception. We could not be more grateful for them! They also made us incredibly comfortable throughout the day (and our engagement shoot) and we are not two people who usually like to be in front of the camera. One of the best decisions we made for our wedding!!
After searching out many photographers, we found Fox + Ivory. We decided to go with Jay for our main shooter and had Justin as a secondary shooter. We could not be any happier with our decision. Jay was so much fun to work with and made photos smooth and kept us laughing to keep us from getting too tense. He did an amazing job trying to reign in other vendors to try and keep a timetable going. We had a sparkler exit planned and the sparklers were not working. Jay on the fly told all the guests to take out their phones and use the flashlights as "sparklers" and the shot came out amazing. We received our photos in a timely fashion, we got ALL of the photos instead of having to choose a select few, and at web size and print size, and they did not pressure us on any of the services. We've been looking through all of the pictures trying to pick ones for an album, but they are all so good it's hard to choose. We've already been recommending them to any of my friends who are getting married or thinking about it.
Jay and his team were so incredible to work with and they exceeded all of our expectations!! I cannot recommend them enough!
From the very beginning, Jay was super easy to talk to and was extremely helpful during the planning process as well as on our wedding day.
There were certain locations I wanted photos at and he made sure we crossed them off the list as long as they were possible on our wedding day. He was also great at providing his recommendations for photo locations and directing people in a professional manner. He knew how to liven up the mood and that reflected in our wedding party photos. We received lots of compliments from our wedding party.
Our wedding photos turned out beautifully and we are so happy with our decision to go with Fox & Ivory for our wedding photography. Our photos tell the story of our wedding and Jay and his team captured the day perfectly.
We cannot say enough great things about Fox and Ivory! Our photos and video take us back to our special day each time we look at them or watch it. The excitement the photographers and videographers had in our venue made it even more special; they were so inspired to try new things which resulted in great shots. Jeremy was fantastic for our engagement photos and on our wedding day. Jay and his team’s communication kept us at ease throughout the whole process. If you are looking for a photographer/ videographer, Fox and Ivory is the way to go.
Peter, Kelsey, and the rest of their team photographed and videoed our wedding and they were the best!! They were on time, very efficient, and open to fun photo poses! The whole team was so fun and they do such a good job of making everyone comfortable in front of the camera! They literally climbed into a tree to shake flower petals off to capture the most perfect, spring wedding picture. Our highlight video and coverage film is great quality and Jay was always timely in answering questions when we were planning. Can't recommend this company enough, I wish they could take every picture for me!
We absolutely LOVED Fox and Ivory. From beginning to end, the service was amazing, communication was quick/easy, and the photographers and videographers were so professional and SO good at their craft. Our pictures and videos turned out better than we could imagine!! They were wonderful to work with.
From start to finish Fox + Ivory was incredible. After our initial informational phone call with Jay, my husband and I knew that this was the company we would go with for our pictures.
Their business model is super easy and no surprises. Jay had emails out to us during key check in times. Before our wedding we met with our photographer Maddie to chat and get to know each other. I think it was a nice touch so she could get to know our styles and what we were looking for. We were also given a questionnaire before meeting to list any specific pictures we wanted on the day, which made it easy for her to gather people and not have myself and husband worrying about getting people together.
On the day of Maddie and Victor were amazing. Maddie took charge immediately and her and Victor were a great team.
Their attention to detail didn't go unnoticed and what we have seen from our sneak peeks we know we are going to be happy with the results. I would highly recommend Fox + Ivory for your big day!
Jay and his team were incredible! They were the videographers for my big, fat, Indian wedding during MDW 2022 and they captured the magic, energy, excitement, and love so well in the teaser and 10 min edit videos. Fox + Ivory were easy to communicate with and were so easy to work with on the day of as well. Highly recommend!
Fox + Ivory captured the most beautiful moments of our wedding day and got our pictures and videos back to us so quickly! Jay was easy to reach and very responsive through the entire planning process and when the big day came we had two photographers and two videographers. Maddie and Julia were amazing to work with and made it a stress free day. We were so happy we went with Fox + Ivory it was nice to have a group of people who were used to working with another so they weren’t fighting for the good shots. We are forever grateful we have the most amazing memories to look back on from the best day of our lives! Thank you again!
We had the absolute best experience working with Jay and his entire team at Fox and Ivory. They're a friendly, highly competent team. By the end, I thought of Jay as a dear friend! They do a great job of helping to manage emotions and expectations and yet still curate around your desires. They're very good at managing the various family/friends in your pictures to come together and get in the right poses. oh and of course, the pictures are stunning! For those struggling to figure out where to take pictures or how to do them, you can easily leverage their expertise here as well.
All in all, couldn't recommend Jay's team enough. Our day wouldn't have been so special with out them.
Fox and Ivory was INCREDIBLE to work with. We hired them for our wedding day and did the package with videographers and photographers together - the pictures turned out better than we could have imagined especially for a winter wedding. They were so in synch and it made our lives so easy. They also made a point of pulling us aside at the perfect moments so we could work with the snow and get some snow pictures when it started falling. I couldn't be more thankful we chose them & would recommend them to anyone! THANK YOU!
Jay and his assistant at Fox + Ivory were wonderful to work with during our engagement shoot. He is truly a professional and has an eye for what makes an incredible photo from poses to scenes to light. He is such an engaging, interesting person and very approachable. Our guests had nothing but wonderful things to say about him and his work. He did a remarkable job capturing all the key moments on our special night. Now, we have amazing photos and prints to treasure for years to come!
Nisa and the Fox + Ivory team were wonderful! We couldn't have been happier with the way our engagement and wedding photos turned out. Fox + Ivory created beautiful wedding portraits of us and the bridal party, and they captured some of the best moments from our ceremony and reception. They were also an absolute pleasure to have on-site during the event. I highly recommend!
Fox + Ivory left my wife and I with a lasting impression. From their involved and inclusive planning, to their encouraging and considerate assistance, and ultimately their stunning production of our wedding's signature moments, we could not have asked for more. The week prior to our wedding, we conferenced with Jay and nailed down our schedule ensuring that we would capture every photo that we wanted. On the day of the wedding, we met a multitude of friendly and talented photographers and videographers. They were kind, organized, and reflected the energy we felt going into the day. The day went without a hitch and, while we took a lot of photos and video, we never felt distracted or pulled away from our wedding party. The quality of the photos was top tier and the video also summarized our day perfectly. We highly recommend Fox + Ivory to anyone who wants the best photography experience for their wedding.
We worked with Jeremy as head photographer and Jen as assistant photographer for our wedding in October 2022. They were awesome! Perfect balance of professional and fun, they took care of business getting key shots while not being pushy. Also, working with Jay on any random questions we had in the whole process was unbelievably helpful and made the whole process feel like a breeze. Thank you!! (Also posted on WW)
Our photographers Jeremy and Ty hit it out of the park. Wonderful professionals day-of — not too pushy, but pushy enough! — and captured so many wonderful emotions. Only thing I didn’t love was lack of a photo sneak peek, but the entire library was so worth the wait!
The Fox + Ivory team is truly the best in the business, and you will NOT go wrong choosing them to capture your special day. We corresponded with Jay throughout the entire process, and he was truly a pleasure to work with. Our photographer was Gerardo, and he made us girls laugh so much all day long, and I know our pictures are going to be absolutely stunning. Another shout out to our videographer Eli, he did such a fabulous job capturing the entire day from beginning to end. Our assistants, Brittany and Jen, were both so much fun to work with as well, and they acted as my unofficial hype team (which I LOVED)!!! Truly the best all around, I can't say enough about how great they all were. Thank you so much!
Choosing Fox + Ivory for your wedding photos and video is the peace of mind that every couple planning a wedding needs! Capturing this special day was something that we were feeling really sentimental about, and the minute we spoke with Jay and Nisa our minds were at ease. Their professionalism, timeliness in delivery of the edited photos and video, and affordability were unmatched. When one of our guests had a medical emergency that threw off the timeline of the night, they stayed to make sure that every single one of our special moments were captured. Truly amazing. Thank you Fox + Ivory for the memories we will cherish forever!
We initially engaged Fox & Ivory to shoot our wedding after our venue raved about their relationship with them. Throughout the wedding process, the team at Fox & Ivory (Jay, specifically) was so wonderful to work with! Everything from our initial phone call to scheduling our timeline to being paired with our photographer, to the day of, and ultimately receiving the final photo/video products was very professional and handled with extra care. In the months leading up to our wedding, we had several calls with Jay, in which he answered infinite questions and provided his expert opinion as we planned the details of our wedding. Weeks before our wedding, we learned that the suburban downtown in which our venue was located would be blocked off due to an outdoor festival and that the photoshoot locations we had in mind would be unavailable. The team and Fox & Ivory did not see this as an issue at all and quickly calmed our nerves by coming up with numerous back up plans, all of which resulted in gorgeous photos! We were paired with Peter as our day of photographer and he was excellent at capturing the candid, meaningful moments, as well as the party, and was really helpful in making the posed, emotional photos feel natural and comfortable. At times our bridal party and families were less than cooperative and Peter was quick to reel everyone back in and effortlessly managed tricky family dynamics! We chose not to do a first look and so the time between our ceremony and reception was crucial for getting all shots that we wanted and Peter took this very seriously and worked with us to efficiently capture everything we could have dreamed of! Peter and the two videographers he had on his team worked seamlessly together, helped us create a fun and relaxed atmosphere, and ultimately delivered beautiful photos and video. We would highly recommend the team at Fox & Ivory to any couple looking for a wedding photographer, or anyone looking for a fun, reasonably priced photoshoot.
We booked Fox & Ivory for our wedding and so far just from our engagement photos and our interactions with Jay, I can say with full confidence that this company is outstanding. The photos are breathtaking and the service is exceptional. They are there to answer any questions you have and are so helpful! We're so glad we chose Fox & Ivory for our special day.
Our lead photographer Nisa was incredible to work with. I've always felt insecure in front of the camera, but she made me feel so confident and calm that day. I was worried I'd feel like a celebrity with cameras flashing in my face all day, but the Fox + Ivory team must have invisibility cloaks. They discretely captured all of our candid moments and allowed me to feel fully present on my wedding day. Our team of photographers and videographers felt like old friends. The whole team was fun, professional and responsive throughout our whole engagement. We cannot thank them enough !
Absolutely wonderful photographers (2 were hired). Jay was great with communication and made sure everything was clear along the way. Both photographers did an amazing job directing myself, husband and wedding parties. They were a lot of fun to be around and had a great sense of humor that helped my group feel comfortable. My dog was also part of my wedding and they were very patient which was appreciated. I would highly recommend Fox + Ivory!
Our wedding venue Woman’s Club of Evanston recommended Fox and Ivory for our April 2022 wedding, and we liked the owner, Jay, immediately in our first conversation with him. On the day of the event, we found photographer Jose and his assistant photographer Gerardo to be wonderful! They took pictures throughout the day, which included getting ready photos, a “first look”, a complicated set of posed family photos, the ceremony, cocktail hour, and finally the reception. They captured special moments and beautiful details, making for a very special photo album. We love that we can download any of the images to share with our guests, and we appreciated their transparent pricing model. Especially considering the quality of the photographs and the professionalism of all involved, we cannot recommend Fox and Ivory highly enough.
Fox & Ivory did an amazing job on our photos. We are so in love with each and everyone. Peter was the best photographer I’ve seen do this. He knew exactly what visions I had and did them. He made it so much fun and was so excited to shoot at my venue for the first time. We also did the video package which was awesome. The day goes by and it’s nice to be able to watch back what happened on the best day. Fox & ivory was worth every penny!
The entire team at Fox + Ivory was absolutely amazing. They were incredibly organized and ensured that we completed each requested portrait. They were so friendly and helpful the entire day, which helped ease my nerves significantly. The photos turned out very beautiful and were available in a timely fashion. Thank you so much for helping make our night a success, we will cherish all the moments you captured forever!
We cannot say enough nice things about Fox + Ivory! Jay and his team were the absolute best and so much fun to work with. They make your day so special and we now have sooo many amazing photos to cherish for a lifetime! We love you all at Fox + Ivory!
If you want an organized, fun-loving team of photographers on your wedding day, Fox + Ivory is the vendor for you!
We discovered Fox + Ivory on The Knot. After reviewing their amazing portfolio, I filled out the Contact form on their website, and Jay reached out to me with confirmation of availability and package information. We selected a 9-hour, 2-photographer package, and Jay paired us with Jeremy. Jay provided us several tools to better design our photography plan, including a questionnaire to build our day-of timeline (which was EXTREMELY helpful) and a worksheet with our notes detailing the different types of pictures we wanted taken. We also completed two planning phone calls—one with Jay, one with Jeremy—to further discuss the game plan as well as any questions we had.
Working with them on our wedding day was great! Jeremy and Tom arrived right on time and easily worked with us, our groomsmen, bridesmaids, family members, and day-of coordinator to capture all our getting-ready photos. Pictures were taken in a candid, comfortable manner; we all had lots of laughs when attempting both serious and silly photos; and they were very patient with us even when we ran slightly behind schedule. They were very open to our ideas and we definitely appreciated all their suggestions too! At our venue, they were incredibly considerate with our group as we took photos outside, letting us take breaks from time to time to avoid the heat and bugs and for me to get off my feet. They were also super patient when we gathered up family for portraits following the ceremony. We can’t wait to see our photos but we’re certain they will turn out perfect!
My husband and I recommend Fox + Ivory for your photography needs!
In our search for the best wedding photos, we reached out to over 15 photographers, and Fox + Ivory easily stood out from everyone far and above. In the span of over two years, from the first email to receiving the full gallery, Fox + Ivory was nothing short of incredible and efficient. The team is extremely communicative, friendly, professional, enthusiastic and genuine. Due to the pandemic, we rescheduled our wedding and communicating with Niki made the process smooth and worry-free. We felt extremely lucky to have had Peter & Jay as our photographers. Peter & Jay were incredibly personable, patient and skilled shooters. They were terrific at guiding, adjusting on the fly, making everything just flow well and very down to earth as if you were age-old friends. Our gallery was terrific and you absolutely cannot go wrong with Fox + Ivory for one of the most important aspects of a wedding.
My husband and I had our wedding last month and we are absolutely in love with our photos! We had Jose and Erin as our photographers and they were both very easy and fun to work with. We did not go into the day with a long list of shots or Pinterest board of ideas. I trusted that as professionals they will be able to tell us what is best and I am so happy I did! My favorite photos are the ones that I recall feeling weird about the posing, which just shows that they know what will and will not look good for specific shots. I have had multiple couples reach out to me already asking who we used as our photographer which is such a compliment to Jose and Erin.
My husband and I were also unfortunately one of the couples who had to reschedule multiple times due to COVID. They were very flexible with rescheduling, did not tack on any hidden fees, and made the difficult rescheduling process that much easier. Fox+Ivory was very personable to work with, met with us multiple times, and had fantastic communication.
I cannot speak highly enough about Fox+Ivory. Their customer service and photography is outstanding!
We absolutely loved working with Nisa and Eli at Fox + Ivory! They were an incredible team, capturing the vibe perfectly, and so helpful along the way. Can highly recommend working with Nisa and Eli at Fox + Ivory.
I cannot recommend Fox + Ivory enough. Planning our wedding was stressful enough but after speaking with Jay, we were confident the photography would be one less thing to worry about. Maddie and Erin did an incredible job photographing our wedding from start to finish and created a gallery of photos we can't stop looking at. We are a shy couple and were concerned about how the pictures would look but the Maddie and Erin were so kind, fun, and thoughtful. They made us feel comfortable and knew how to position us and guide us through the process. They have an excellent eye for where to take photos and how to frame them as well as capturing the subjects (us!) perfectly. I know I said it already but I cannot recommend them enough.
The Fox + Ivory team has to be hands down the best photographer/videographers in the business. They did full coverage for our wedding (photo and video services) - and we couldn't be happier! We were fortunate to work with a number of folks from their team and, I have to say, it is almost unbelievable that they can have so many talented, genuine, fun, and professional people all in one place. Their process was organic and fun - they made the staged photos enjoyable, and did an exceptional job of capturing all the special, un-staged moments. They did amazing job of preserving all the key parts of our wedding. All of the photos are stunning - our wedding album is full and every page is more beautiful than the last. And the videos - the coverage film is wonderful, and we cannot stop watching the highlight video. The editing and stylistic choices feel so personal to us. It's amazing. Even beyond the wedding day itself, this team lives and breathes weddings. They were happy to offer recommendations for other vendors, were conscious of our schedules for getting planning calls coordinated, and just really understood what our vision was (they even learned how our cultural wedding ceremony would work so that they could best place themselves). You can see plainly from the joy they bring to the wedding day and the high quality product they deliver, Fox + Ivory have a passion and a talent for their craft. I would recommend them for any event you may need them for. Thank you all for making our day so special and giving us the ability to remember it forever!
We had an amazing experience with Fox + Ivory. From the beginning they were very communicative, and the different packages and pricing were very clear. We had Jose for our engagement photos and they turned out so well! He was kind, easy to work with, and really made us comfortable. We had Jose and Jay for our wedding day. They were both so much fun, and very professional. We are thrilled with the pictures that we got back!
Fox and Ivory was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding! We just got married last week and just got back from our honeymoon and I immediately ran here to leave them a five star review! Their communication was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process and they really listened to all of our input for everything we were looking for.
Now let's talk about the day of- Jay was more than we could have ever hoped for! He made our entire bridal party feel so comfortable while constantly cracking jokes and as I liked to call him, being my personal hype man! Every shot he made hyped us all up and it was just so much fun which was totally the vibe we were going for!
I can't wait to see the final photos- I just know he captured not only the typical photos but I feel as though he captured the love and fun behind the scenes as well!
Thank you Fox and Ivory!
Fox & Ivory was so incredible and easy to work with and we cannot recommend them enough! Nisa and Erin were our photographers and they were amazing throughout the day. They had the best tips for posing, easily organized group photos, they made us feel comfortable with our portraits (and we are terrible with pictures), and even came to the rescue (helping me stay calm) when the bridal party was late and forgot to bring some items. We couldn’t have picked a better photography team for our day.
The owner Jay was the one communicating with us before and after the wedding and he was so understanding, personable and ready to offer any help with vendor recommendations, timeline planning, questions, etc. The whole team knows weddings and it shows, but they are also overall great people and they will make sure that you get everything you could hope for and that the day goes as smoothly as possible. As for the pictures, they are simply incredible, candid, amazing quality, and we are so happy with the results!
We had Nissa, Kelsey, Carly, and Eli as our team of photographers and videographers. They were so great to work with on the day of our wedding. We had a lot of fun, and they were so helpful throughout the day. Our pictures were stunning - so many people have reached out to let us know how great they look. Both our highlight video and coverage film are amazing. We love watching them and reliving so many great moments on our day. They really captured how magical the day was, and the whole team did a fantastic job. We are so glad we had Fox + Ivory as a part of our wedding day.
We had a fantastic experience with Fox + Ivory throughout the whole process! They were easy to communicate with and quick to answer questions during the planning process! Jay and his second photographer helped make the day run as smoothly as it did. Jay kept picture time flowing smoothly and on schedule, but not stressful and it all felt relaxed and comfortable! My husband hates pictures but both Jay and his assistant made pictures fun! It was clear they both paid great attention to detail and it showed in our final product! We absolutely love our final pictures and are struggling to narrow down pictures to order. During the ceremony and reception they blended in but still managed to get amazing pictures! I would recommend Fox + Ivory, especially Jay to family and friends! Thank you!!
It’s true what they say, photos are the most important part of your wedding day and it’s worth investing money in a good photographer. As someone who doesn’t even care that much about photos, I strongly discourage anyone from working with fox & ivory. Their team was perfectly nice but the quality of photos were so bad that everyone I show them to actually laughs out loud. I kid you not. There are photos where our faces are blurred, images are not in focus, there are crazy special effects. We asked for portraits on our wedding day and unfortunately there is not a single one of my husband and I looking straight at the camera and smiling. How sad. Instead we received about 1,000 “in action” photos that are not printable. What’s worse is we have reached out to them multiple times in the past month with no response. Do you really want to work with a vendor who doesn’t even acknowledge when you were unhappy with their service? I would have never left this public review if someone on their team cared to contact us back. I only hope we can save another couple from making the terrible decision that we made. Ignore the positive reviews unless you don’t care to have good photos and need a cost effective photographer. Even then, I suggest you save up the money to work with someone else. They are not worth it.
Response from the Vendor on 11/19/2021
We are happy to wear this review as a badge of honor for all the vendors who had to deal with uncooperative and abrasive clients. Clients who completely hijack wedding day portraits with their Pinterest board and then are unhappy with the resul...
ts - instead of letting our photographer do what they are hired to do.
This client did not communicate with us at all before her wedding. After her wedding gallery was delivered, she THEN told us she was also unhappy with their engagement gallery (over 2 months after they were delivered). She ambushed our photographer with a Pinterest board on their wedding day of "these are the only shots I want, we don't want anything creative".
So let's take it step by step....
"As someone who doesn't even care that much about photos....": We wish this was communicated to us earlier on so we could have confirmed that we aren't a good fit for you.
Blurred images? Not in focus?: Completely not true. Do you mean "depth of field"? Nothing is blurred or out of focus and the intended subject is always in focus. You would appreciate this if you cared about photos and paid attention to the galleries that we have showcased online.
Not a single portrait of you two looking at the camera? Also untrue. Please review your gallery in greater detail - many photos of the couple looking at the camera. You also received exactly the portraits which were on your Pinterest board.
1000's "in action photos"? There are 600 photos from the reception itself - that is normal reception coverage that is continuous shooting because there are so many things happening around the venue. We've never seen anyone complain about receiving too many photos of their wedding guests having fun. There are the perfect amount of portraits that we typically deliver, with many that can be beautifully printed.
Unhappy with our service? The minute the client forces our photographer to shoot a full portrait session off of their Pinterest board and allowed for no creative freedom what-so-ever. That's when it stopped being our service.
We overall delivered a beautiful, organic and fun gallery ON TOP OF the Pinterest board portraits that this client requested. The gallery is overall very much on brand for what we do and meets every one of our standards. The bride and groom portraits were "Pinterested" and way off our style and approach, but yet we still did them to the client's exact specifications to make them happy. We take pride in our work and do our best to create amazing photos and give all our couples a great wedding day experience & we'll defend our reputation vigorously. The fact that this client thinks she can try to harm our small business (after everything that small business have been through lately) with this nonsense. Maybe they are unhappy with their Pinterest board of portraits? Maybe fishing for a refund? Whatever the reason, we're not having it.
Since this client is trying to ruin our reputation, we'll leave this gallery right here so everyone can see just how "laughable" the photos really are: https://foxivory.pic-time.com/Cu7MvaAsD07Xw
Wonderful photography company! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed working with the photographers on our big day. The company kept in contact with us from the moment we booked, helping us stay organized. On the wedding day, they set up several wonderful shots and were so easy and pleasant to work with. When we received our album, it was edited in a beautiful way that really captured the emotions of the big day. We are both filled with joy every time we look back at our pictures.
Response from the Vendor on 11/19/2021
Erin, we couldn't be happier that your photos bring you so much joy and take you right back to your beautiful wedding! Such a pleasure working with you two!
We had an amazing experience with Fox and Ivory! They really listened to what we wanted and were super easy to work with. We are slightly awkward in front of the camera and they gave straightforward direction that put us at ease. They also worked with us through multiple reschedules during COVID and were super responsive and helpful along the way.
Response from the Vendor on 11/19/2021
We so appreciate your kind words! You guys were perfect in front of the camera & we loved the beautiful images we were able to capture together! Thank you for being awesome!
We hired Fox + Ivory after going back and forth for months on if we wanted a videographer or not and I am SOOOO glad we did. They are so professional and easy to work with (they were super accommodating when we had to postpone). They meet with you the week of the wedding to make sure they have every last detail and special moment you want captured. I figured the videographer would just be some background person with a camera that would just come and go, but Fox + Ivory has phenomenal staff. They made our day so much fun and were so personable (Shoutout to Peter and Eli!!!). We just got both our full video and highlight video, way faster than I anticipated and we are in love!!! We had high expectations after seeing all their work, but they went above and beyond. The quality of their work and attention to detail really shows and the sum up our big day perfectly. We 100% will be recommending them to everyone we know!
Response from the Vendor on 11/19/2021
Thank you Mary Beth! The team really enjoyed being with your group & we are so happy you loved your video as much as we do!! Cheers!!
I don’t even know where to begin when speaking about our experience with Fox & Ivory. I guess at the beginning! After finding Fox & Ivory on TheKnot, I browsed the various albums and could instantly tell they were honest, experienced and could capture weddings better than most other vendors I had seen. As a designer with some photography experience, I knew that I wanted my wedding to have a photographer who really knew what they were doing and I am so happy to say this was the case. Now for our wonderful photographers, Nisa and Maddie. Words cannot express enough how thankful my husband and are for these two extremely kind and gifted women. From start to finish, they worked tirelessly to capture everything we wanted and were just so much fun! We received so many compliments about how diligent they both were at capturing not only our wedding party pre-wedding shoot but ceremony, dinner, reception, etc. it was truly a pleasure to work with them, they made our night even more special than we could have imagined!
Response from the Vendor on 11/19/2021
What an awesome review! We really appreciate the feedback Daniel & are so proud of the team for providing such exceptional products that we strive for! Congratulations & thank you so much for trusting us with your special day!
Loved working with Peter on our wedding day! He has a great sense of humor and made pictures fun & easy. We got our gallery back and absolutely love our pictures! They captured everything we wanted and totally took us back to the day. I highly recommend Fox & Ivory - we're so happy we found them!
Response from the Vendor on 11/19/2021
Congrats to you and Neil! We LOVED working with you two & were honored to capture your incredibly fun wedding day! Cheers!
The entire Fox and Ivory Team were amazing. I cannot recommend them enough! I was nervous about booking photographers and videographers, but as soon as I started talking with Niki and saw some of their favorite images from past weddings, I know Fox and Ivory was the best choice I could make.
Niki was extremely helpful in answering all our questions throughout the entire booking and scheduling process. We needed to postpone our wedding due to Covid and she handled the process with kindness and grace. She made a difficult situation feel easy and stress free.
We were lucky enough to work with Jay, Nisa, Peter, and Eli on our big day. What amazing people they are! They made everything feel special and meshed with our family and friends right off the bat. They worked behind the scenes to capture real time moments throughout the day. Each of them was professional but fun. I felt like we were able to capture a ton of amazing shots in a short amount of time which allowed us to enjoy time with our family and friends.
They were extremely respectful during the church ceremony and were able to capture large extended family photos after the ceremony in what felt like no time. We have seen clips of out best mans speeches and the video quality has far exceeded our expectations. We’ve seen a few photos so far and again; they have surpassed anything I could have imagined. I cannot recommend them enough!

We were honored to be a part of your wedding day Courtney! Both of your families were full of kindness and warmth & we couldn't have asked for a better couple! Thank you for the wonderful feedback!
I cannot recommend Fox + Ivory enough. Photography was a big deal to me. Most couples I talked to after their wedding say their biggest regret was pictures - they wish they would've budgeted more for a photographer. Well, worry no more. Fox + Ivory were the best. From day one, Niki was quick to respond and helpful throughout the entire process (including the postponement due to COVID). Jay & Erin were a joy to work with the day of. Our pictures are absolutely beautiful and I am so thankful I went with this company.
Response from the Vendor on 11/19/2021
We are so thankful you went with us as well Rachel! Thank you for being awesome!
Fox + Ivory were amazing to work with from start to finish! Every single question we had, big or small, was answered thoroughly throughout the whole process. Even before our wedding/ receiving our final products we were very satisfied with just their communication. On our wedding day, Jay was very professional and knew exactly what to do and say to get everyone and everything together. He was so fun to work with but also kept us moving at a great pace to get all of our shots in. We did get our pictures a little after the promised time but it was totally worth the wait. When we finally got our pictures and video, we were so impressed. They got amazing shots from all parts of day from start to finish and it was great to see all parts of the wedding because as the bride and groom, it was hard to see everything that happened that day. We would recommend Fox + Ivory to everyone!
Response from the Vendor on 11/19/2021
Your wedding was beautiful and we so enjoyed working with you too! Thank you so much for your patience with all of the deliverables - as you can image, we had DOUBLE the weddings in 2021 than typical to work on! Many congrats and a huge cheers!
We are so happy that we hired Peter at Fox + Ivory to be our wedding videographer. We didn't think we wanted to have video documentation at our wedding, but changed our minds because many friends and family weren't able to attend due to Covid restrictions. We are so happy with our decision, and would absolutely recommend a videographer to any couple, no matter what. Your wedding day is such a whirlwind, and it's now such a gift to have video documentation. By the way, the videos are absolutely beautiful. We have had many friends and family tell us that the highlight video so accurately captured the spirit of our wedding day. We totally agree! Peter was so positive, kind, and laid back on the wedding day. Niki is also very professional, and makes planning easy. We highly recommend Fox + Ivory!

We couldn't be happier that you decided to go with the video! Your wedding day was just too beautiful not to have it captured on film! There were some very special moments that day and we know this will only appreciate with time! Thank you so m...
uch for having us!
