Phillip Gregory Photography

Phillip Gregory Photography is a wedding photography company in Chicago, Illinois, led by its owner with a team of photographers and cinematographers. The style is organic and story-driven, built around real moments rather than staged ones.

The approach

The owner treats photography as a way to connect with clients and describes the work as collaborative, shaped by what is personal to each couple. The team can shoot photo, video or both, which keeps your coverage under one roof.

LGBTQ+ couples

The business is LGBTQ+-owned, which matters when you want a photographer who needs no explanation about your relationship, your families or the way you want to be seen. Share any family dynamics, names and pronouns in advance so the team knows who is who on the day.

What they offer

• An initial consultation to talk through your vision
• Photography and cinematography
• Coverage in multiple locations
• Second shooters
• Additional hours

Choosing a wedding photographer

Look at full galleries, not only highlight reels, so you can judge consistency across a whole day. Ask how many images you will receive, how long editing takes, and how the files are delivered. Confirm who will actually shoot your wedding and whether a backup photographer is available if someone is ill.

Planning notes

Chicago light changes sharply through the seasons, so build your timeline around sunset, especially for autumn and winter weddings. A first look session before the ceremony gives you more time for portraits and a calmer cocktail hour. Send a short list of must-have family groupings ahead of the day.
