About Us

Weddings by Seymour is a premier Chicago wedding photographer dedicated to capturing authentic love stories across Illinois and beyond. We specialize in documenting weddings with a fresh perspective that honors tradition while embracing modern artistry from intimate Chicago celebrations to grand multicultural weddings and Nigerian weddings that reflect rich cultural heritage.

We're more than just wedding photographers, we're storytellers. Our approach creates images that stand out, crafting photos that are just as unique as the couples we photograph. Whether you're planning a destination wedding or a celebration closer to home in Chicago we're here to document every meaningful moment.

Wedding photography is about more than beautiful images; it's about building genuine connections. Every couple we meet and every engagement session we photograph enriches our lives, and we feel truly blessed to be part of their journey. Through our expertise in lighting, composition, and posing, we create shots that feel intimate, natural, and authentic never forced or overly staged.

Storytelling is our strength. We have a knack for capturing real-time, compelling narratives that unfold throughout your wedding day. From the quiet, emotional moments during getting ready to the grand celebrations at your reception, we document it all with intention and artistry using a documentary-style approach that ensures no detail goes unnoticed.

We're grateful for this career and all the incredible people, wedding venues, and places we've experienced because of it. We're inspired by couples who love adventure, love each other deeply, and express their love fearlessly. Beautiful celebrations, meaningful traditions, and raw emotion fuel our passion.

We do what we do because we believe there is no greater happiness than love. And honestly, who wouldn't want to spend their life telling love stories?

Seyi Okeowo

Lead Photographer

Hi. My name is Seyi, a Chicago-based wedding photographer who takes great pride in capturing the true spirit and personality of the couples I work with. I've always had an eye for seeing moments differently blending editorial artistry with documentary storytelling to create images that feel both polished and genuine.

I understand that beautiful wedding photography comes from creating a relaxed, authentic environment. I accomplish this by engaging in real conversations, listening with my ears and my camera, and paying attention to the smallest details that make your story uniquely yours.

When I'm not behind the camera, you'll find me on the basketball court, playing pickleball (yes, I'm one of those people now lol), or deep in a podcast rabbit hole. I'm also that person who listens to music in full albums because some stories are just meant to be experienced from start to finish, you know?

I love photographing weddings in Chicago, Indianapolis, and destination locations because they're all centered around love and there's nothing more rewarding than documenting that. Whether it's an intimate ceremony or a grand multicultural celebration, I'm there to capture it all with intention and heart.

Thanks for stopping by, and I'm hoping we get to work together to tell your love story.
