Weddings
Every moment of a wedding is worth capturing, from the first looks to the delicate details to the romantic atmosphere that surrounds a happy couple on their wedding day. My artistic wedding photography captures the natural spirit of the day and creates a keepsake that provides a lifetime of joy. I photograph both the candid moments and posed portraits in order to ensure every detail is remembered. Some of my favorite venues to photograph include Cantigny, St. Raphael’s, Hotel Arista, and Bolingbrook Golf Course. From the engagement to the ceremony and reception, every moment big and small will be captured beautifully.
HS Seniors
Senior year of high school is a pivotal moment in every teenagers life. This moment between childhood and adulthood often flies by too quickly due to the impending stresses of college, but every high school graduate should commemorate the most formative years of their lives. Athletes, musicians, and artists alike choose to take their senior portraits with me because I personalize every shoot to the graduates interests in order to celebrate their accomplishments and individuality. I have worked with graduates from Neuqua, Naperville North, Naperville Central, Waubonsie, Metea, and Plainfield in order to honor the milestone that is high school graduation.
Kids
Kids grow up so quickly, but by pausing to take a photograph their childhood can become permanent in the form of a tangible keepsake. Every stage of a child’s life is worth remembering, which is why I photograph from newborns to graduates. Kids are a pleasure to work with because they always let their personality shine through their photos. Photography sessions with me are personalized to the different interests and hobbies of every child. Children are the future, but my photographs will help them remember their past.
Family
A classic family photoshoot provides a portrait that can hang on the walls of the family home for generations. My photographs capture the essence of each individual family and remind us of what is truly important. Family portraits are great for memorializing every stage of family life. My favorite place to photograph families is the scenic Naperville Riverwalk. Families with young children and families with high schoolers alike love to get family portraits taken in order to remember every moment of their children’s lives.
Headshots
Business professionals, aspiring actors or models, and anyone in between should consider taking a professional headshot in order to create a distinct visual brand. Professional headshots can be uploaded to LinkedIn, Facebook, resumes, or cover letters and will provide a great first impression. Headshots are useful for people working in the corporate world as well as small business owners. I also provide headshot services for actors, models, and dancers that require a more artistic flare.
Performing Arts
Ballet, jazz, and modern contemporary are just a few of the many types of dance I have photographed. I specialize in performance photography and enjoy capturing the beautiful movements within a dance routine. My photojournalistic style is extremely beneficial when photographing dancers. Dance photography allows for a distinct level of artistry and provides elegant photos to celebrate the beauty and fluidity of each type of dance.
Kind Words
★★★★★ So we just received our photo’s from our family photo shoot in Naperville and they are simply amazing. Edward was so laid back and easy to work with. He made my kids feel at ease and managed to get them to get along for the full 1 hour session (which never happens.) Lol. All in all I highly recommend Edward Weiland Photography. The Riverwalk location in Naperville was also the perfect scene. Will definitely book again in the future!!!

Erica★★★★★ I had my twins senior high school pictures done with Edward. We had 2 separate locations and times for each. Faith was first and he did an amazing job of getting so many great photographs of her and she loves them – we did this at Cantigney Park- awesome site! Then we had Nick’s pictures done in Naperville at the river walk – again another awesome site! He took some fabulous shots of Nick and the twins together. I have some great amazing photos that I will treasure forever – Thanks so much, they surpassed my wishes and are just amazing!!
Gina★★★★★ My husband and I got married this past June in Naperville, IL. We specifically were looking for a photographer that was familiar with the Naperville riverwalk and all the beautiful spots along it. I found Edward online, and he exceeded all of our expectations!! We could not have asked for a better wedding photographer!! He and his assistant rocked it! Our wedding day was a blazing 80 degrees or hotter and a majority of our wedding photographs were taken outside. There were many times throughout the day when we were melting outside in the hot weather. Despite the hot temperature, Edward and his assistant were troopers doing anything and everything necessary to make sure we got the best shots and boy did we! We have so many amazing photographs of our wedding day from start to finish. Edward not only was great the day of our wedding but also prior to. He offered advice and helped me find vendors. If you are looking for a wedding photographer, I highly recommend Edward Weiland Photography!! You will not be disappointed.
Sarah★★★★★ Edward was absolutely amazing! We used him for both an engagement photo session as well as on our wedding day, and we couldn’t have been happier. Our engagement photos were stunning! He is a truly gifted photographer, and everyone who interacted with him was impressed by his style and professionalism. (Even the pastor at my church wanted his contact information!) He went above and beyond during each stage of the wedding day – bridal preps, ceremony, and reception, and he was worth every penny we paid for his services.
