Brilliant Bee Photography LLC Wedding, engagement & family photography showcasing authentic, candid, & timeless stories. www.brilliantbeephotography.com Hi there! You can relate to it.

Based in Fox Lake, IL - serving couples & families across McHenry & Lake Counties, Northern IL, Chicago, Lake Geneva, & Southern WI. My name is Meg, and I’m a photographer in Fox Lake, IL. Ever since I can remember I’ve been interested in art; music, painting, scrapbooking, writing. But it wasn't until I visited Chicago one weekend in 2008 that I discovered my passion for photography. I innocently

snapped a photo of the old Navy Pier Ferris wheel on my point-and-shoot camera. That photo (shown to the left) became my inspiration.

I've always been fascinated that a simple photo, a single moment captured in time, can tell a story. You can feel for it. It is not just looking and seeing with photography, it is something much more. So in September 2015, I decided to start exploring freelance photography for myself. It is with my work that I wish to be able to pass along these experiences, emotions and memories to others.

Since starting my journey in photography, I have grown so much as an artist and person. My first year, I was published in three different publications. In the spring of my second year, I started my 1 of One Diversity Project, which has given me the opportunity to meet and communicate with people from around the world. In October 2017, my photograph, "Vulnerability", was chosen to be displayed at the 4th Fridays Grand Finale at the Starline Factory, where my piece sold, won an Honorable Mention Award and the People's Choice Award. Each year becomes the best year yet, so I cannot wait for year three!

Such an honor to photograph another Kusters wedding. I had the joy of capturing Andrew’s cousin’s wedding back in 2022, so being welcomed back to document another chapter for this family means so much to me..

Before changing her last name, Megan found a meaningful way to honor where she came from. She had her maiden name tattooed as a tribute to her dad, her family, and the life that shaped her before stepping into this next chapter. Such a beautiful way to celebrate both the family who raised you and the family you’re building..

Your engagement session is about so much more than “just taking photos.”

It’s your chance to slow down, celebrate this season together, and get comfortable in front of the camera before your wedding day. By the time your wedding arrives, you’ll already know exactly what to expect, and that confidence changes everything.

From building trust with your photographer to creating meaningful memories together, engagement sessions truly set the foundation for an incredible wedding photography experience.

I shared all the reasons why I believe having your engagement session with your wedding photographer matters so much over on the blog!

Your wedding photographer is about so much more than pretty photos.

They’re with you through some of the most emotional moments of your day, helping guide the experience while preserving memories you’ll carry forever. That’s why asking the right questions before booking matters so much.

I just shared a new blog post covering important questions to ask your wedding photographer, from experience and editing style to timelines, communication, and what your wedding day will actually feel like.

If you’re currently planning your wedding, this is such a helpful place to start while searching for the right photographer for you.

Southern Wisconsin has some seriously incredible wedding venues, and each one brings such a different feeling to your day. From romantic vineyards to historic ballrooms and modern industrial spaces, your venue sets the tone for the entire experience.

I just shared some of my favorite Southern Wisconsin wedding venues that photograph beautifully and create space for real, meaningful moments throughout your wedding day. As a wedding photographer, these are the kinds of venues I love most because they allow couples to actually be present and soak everything in while creating timeless images at the same time.

Inside the blog, I’m sharing favorites - - along with what makes each one feel unique from both a wedding experience and photography perspective.

If you’re planning a wedding in Southern Wisconsin and searching for a venue that feels like you, this guide is a great place to start.
