I have been so blown away by the quality and I don't know if you realize. You're business is more reasonable and affordable for those of us who don't have a lot and are able to still get clips from the best day of our lives.

Hey there! I’m a weddings and couples photographer based in Chicago, IL with my partner Emily and my rescue dog Daxter. I’m here to document joy and celebrate all the meaningful moments with the kickass people that find me.

I had the pleasure of working along side Sam for a wedding back in March. Being the wedding coordinator, I had the responsibility of confirming everything with each vendor. Sam was awesome and so quick at responding. He confirmed everything with me leading up to the wedding day. Sam is beyond professional and was so fantastic at keeping to the wedding day timeline and getting in every shot the brides requested. His photos speak for themselves. I highly recommend hiring Sam for your special day photography. I hope to get to work with him again and will most definitely be recommending him to my future wedding couples.

Hi! I'm Morgan and I am a West Michigan based photographer/photography business. Photography has become my very own love language and making people happy through photos brings me joy. I believe in capturing the authentic moments of every session, making each one and their photos unique to you. I also love to explore new places and am willing to travel - literally anywhere! My resume from over 7 years of experience includes professional dress fluff-er, boutonniere pin-er, giggle inducer, cheerleader, and "oh shit" moment fixer. Photos should be easy, fun, and be as stress free as possible so I use my Type AA personality to make that happen.

I cannot recommend her enough for any pictures you are looking to get done, I could talk about her all day! She makes you feel 100% comfortable during your sessions and does all the extra help that she possibly can. She was my right hand on wedding day and took care of so many things, I trusted her fully and she delivered!! She is amazing at communication and has multiple different wedding packages to choose from. She is so easy to get along with and I always felt like I was chatting with a close friend rather than a vendor! Seriously pick her for your sessions, you won’t regret it.

If you're in search of a photographer who will capture your wedding day seamlessly & eloquently...look no further. I can't rave enough about how beautiful our wedding day album turned out. From planned shots to the candids, it's exactly what I had envisioned. Katilin did such an awesome job of maneuvering around grabbing shots here and there and snapping shots of our day authentically. On top of it all, she was so friendly which made the experience even sweeter. It was easy to be comfortable around her and open up to the pictures. After the wedding day, sneak peek pictures were delivered promptly and she continued to keep us in the know of when to expect the full album. I would highly recommend her to any couple getting married!

Hey future newlyweds! I'm Jarrod, a wedding photographer that specializes in story telling. Tired of all the bright, overposed, cookie cutter sh*t you keep seeing? Let's create wedding images with real emotion, story, and intention to them. I know being in front of the camera can be awkward. That's why I choose not to pose couples, but instead prompt you to do something like "take off your shoes and run across the field" or " get inside the car and kiss everywhere except the lips". These prompts will help you feel comfortable and also help create candid images. Check out my website for more info :)

Awarded Best of Zola
Jarrod and his wife, Taylor, are truly a dream to work with! My husband and I really wanted some simple engagement photos taken, but were reluctant because we’re not totally comfortable in front of the camera and didn’t want the poses/photos to look cheesy. Taylor gave us plenty of suggestions to pose us naturally and kept us laughing which put us at ease immediately. Jarrod was such a professional and really worked every angle and background to make it look like we spent an entire day shooting. The editing was super crisp and clean and the photos came back incredibly quickly. They far exceeded our expectations and we can’t thank them enough for giving us beautiful, lasting memories from such an important time in our lives. This couple is seriously amazing - genuine, fun, and experts at what they do!! Book them!

Alana Lindenfeld Photography

5.0

Chicago, IL
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $7,000
  • Serves Barrington, IL

Six years of taking bright, colorful, fun wedding photos in the city has taught me how to deliver a complete gallery of your day told in an artistic, meaningful, and unobtrusive way--because I'm here to document your day, not to direct it. As much as I love taking photos (it's truly my favorite thing in the world!), I believe your wedding is about celebrating all your people being in the same place at the same time + kicking back and enjoying while I make sure all those memories are on camera.

Awarded Best of Zola
Alana Lindenfeld is literally the most incredible photographer and you should hire her right this second. My fiancé (then boyfriend) hired her to capture our engagement, and she absolutely hit it out of the park, exceeding any and all expectations. Truly. First of all, she was the absolute best person to have there during our special moment -- she managed to blend into the background so I barely noticed her during the proposal itself, while capturing literally the most amazing photos ever, and then when we transitioned into taking photos post-proposal, she was the most kind, enthusiastic, helpful, and wonderful. Her energy was infectious. (She even let me borrow her jacket to warm up because it was a chilly day, and she taught us how to spray champagne -- totally above and beyond!) Second, the photos themselves are AMAZING. I cannot believe how incredibly she captured the moment! I was in shock over how many different moments she managed to photograph (from the proposal itself to our family's reactions) and how beautiful every single photo was, without exception. They were ridiculously, insanely wonderful, and we will absolutely forever cherish them forever. To say I was glad that my fiancé found Alana would be a huge understatement. In sum, HIRE ALANA! You won't regret it. She is truly the best!!

Chicago, IL
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Barrington, IL

I've picked up a camera just about every day since I fell in love with photography in 2013. Though every shoot holds something unique, it takes a lot to catch me off guard after nearly a decade in business. I pride myself on my ability to quickly connect with my clients, making them feel comfortable, cared for, and confident that they look great. Not every event I’m at goes exactly according to plan and I know how to roll with the punches. Being a helpful and calming presence in the midst of your wedding is second nature to me. Basically, I try to treat people how I want to be treated: with fairness and understanding!

Awarded Best of Zola
Zach was absolutely amazing to work with! We were quick to book with him after clicking so well at our first meeting. We booked an engagement session separate from the wedding booking and were so glad we did! He provided great direction and conversation, helping two socially awkward folks feel comfortable and look like superstars. He was on time and professional for our wedding day, taking care to make sure we covered our photo list and suggesting a few shots that wound up as some of our favorites. He returned our images exactly on schedule and WOW! We were blown away! The photos exactly capture my memory of the wedding day. We would hire Zach again in a heartbeat!

I was introduced to the world of photography the same week I was introduced to the world! All thanks to my Dad, who was never without his camcorder or camera. Because of him, our memories growing up are preserved. Then I got my first camera + tons of film. I documented everything. When film turned into digital, that was a turning point in my life. Since then, my memories, large + small, have been organized on my computer, by year. So I can go back + revisit so many wonderful memories from my life...most which I wouldn't remember without pictures!

  • Serves Barrington, IL

I've been passionate about documenting and creating since I was a little girl running wild in the suburbs of St. Paul. I would steal my parent's film camera and take dozens (okay maybe hundreds) of blurry photos of our dog. In high school, I spent babysitting money on a polaroid and then finally my beloved point and shoot, which was my favorite accessory for a night out! I was gifted my first DSLR in my early twenties, and that changed the way I looked at the role photography played in my life. What was always a beloved hobby became my passion, and I've never been happier.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are SO glad we hired Bonnie for both our engagement & wedding photos! Not only are her pictures gorgeous, fun, and full of natural personality, but she is just a total joy to work with! We were both a little nervous being in front of the camera, but Bonnie made us completely comfortable to be ourselves and made it feel like we were just hangin' with a pal. Our entire family loved her too! She was fun, friendly, respectful, and super great at her job. We all secretly wish we could be friends with Bonnie cause she's one super cool lady and an amazingly skilled photographer! Highly recommend!

I've always been a creative at heart, my own mother is an artist so maybe it's genetic? However, photography was never on my radar.

After the debut of those beautiful, phone quality captures, the inquiries came rolling in! I was pleasantly surprised and within months decided it was only right to invest in proper gear. Officially established in 2021, I've been beyond blessed with the chance to meet so many wonderful people and capture their once in a lifetime moments! Anya Grace 🖤

A Chicago-based wedding and elopement photographer that values genuine connection, authentic emotions, and getting to know my clients on a deep and personal level. I value capturing your moments and memories exactly how they happen, helping you to remember the feelings of intimacy, love, and warmth of marrying your person.

If you’re looking for a photographer.. look no further. Jayde is your GIRL. She is the kindest, coolest, down to earth photographer there is. My husband doesn’t love the camera he was very uneasy at the beginning of our engagement session. By the end, she had him laughing smiling, being his goofy self. She made him feel so comfortable on our way home he was like well she was the best I can’t wait for our wedding! Then throughout the wedding process (ours was alittle over a year) if I had ANY questions or just needed to vent she was always there with a listening ear. She consistently reminded me that it was my day that she was there to help in any way she could. At the wedding day, she was hyping us up, being goofy as always did a phenomenal job. We had a huge bridal party an even bigger family.. which I know is never fun for any couple or photographer. But she GOT IT DONE. She is so efficient knows how to keep it going. I can’t thank Jayde enough for everything she did for me my husband. I can’t wait for her to take pictures of us the rest of our lives, because she’s stuck with us! PS if you’re looking for a photographer that gives you sneak peaks… she’s also your girl. We got over 100 pictures from our wedding by the time we landed at our honeymoon.

I’ve been working with Shawna for over a decade. In that time Shawna has captured beautiful photos of my college graduation portraits, couples’ photos, and mother/daughter photos. For my Halloween Masquerade themed wedding she went above and beyond on a cold, rainy, October day to make sure we got the perfect shot. It has been wonderful working with a photographer that has become a part of our family and a dear friend, as she continues to capture different milestones in our lives including our recent pregnancy announcement. Her photo editing skills are amazing and natural, but just enough to make you feel confident and comfortable in every image.

As a small boy, I would sit for hours watching my mother hand-color portraits for a local photographer, during the cold winter months, by a fire in our family room. From there I began taking my own pictures with my first box camera. Fast forward to a restless twenty-something working as a microbiologist, taking weddings and portraits on weekends. Eventually I graduated college with an M.A. in Photography and started out in Chicago, assisting numerous photographers, shooting everything from oranges to weddings. I have been fortunate to have worked all over the world. Photography is more than a job, it’s an avocation, a passion, it's what I do.

By the time my couple gets their wedding images, they’ve not only gained a photographer that will produce great images, they’ve gained a friend - and to me, that’s priceless.

Sierra was AMAZING. From the moment we met her at our consult, we knew she was the one. She was so professional, and would always check in with me to make sure I was doing okay and wasn’t freaking out too much! On the day of my wedding, she was there early, and even helped with getting my dress ready, and she helped calm my nerves by just sitting with me and listening to me vent lol. Her photos are amazing, but honestly the experience of working with her was one of the best I’ve ever experienced. I didn’t just gain a forever photographer, I gained a new friend! Definitely hire her - you won’t be disappointed!

When I'm not capturing beautiful moments, you'll find me savoring fine wine and crafting to my heart's contentment.

Awarded Best of Zola
Let me start off by saying I am pretty shy and am usually not the most photogenic gal out there. You can probably imagine how anxious I was going into our wedding planning - I was pretty worried about my awkwardness in front of a camera and the impact that would have on our wedding photos. But then I met LaDonna, and that all changed! She was so nice and professional in her approach and she really took the time to help me find my confidence in front of a camera. She was really patient and encouraging and was really great at giving me some direction early on at the beginning in teaching me how to look natural; by the time it came to our real sessions, I found I was hardly even thinking about my insecurities and instead found I was just living in the moment with my husband-to-be! I feel so much more comfortable and confident in myself after having worked with LaDonna - and I couldn’t be happier with the photos!! Thanks to her, I have beautiful pictures from our big day to cherish and the self confidence to keep taking photos with my husband to cherish our memories for a lifetime. So if you’re shy like me, this is for you!

I have a lot to offer, and I do things differently than most other photographers. More than anything, I want to make sure I’m the perfect fit for your wedding. My style and approach is a generous mix of documentary and editorial-style portraiture. For the majority of the day, I stay very hands off, focusing 100% on the story. You won’t find me asking you or your friends to stage or recreate moments, but you will find me ready to capture those moments before they even happen. During portraits, it’s a little different. I give plenty of direction, working to bring creative ideas and poses to make images that are as unique as the people in them.

We can’t say enough about Tom! He was by far our favorite vendor we selected, and he was a fraction of the cost compared to these “Instagram” photographers. He was kind, easy to work with, kept us on track during our wedding - even some of our guests commented how much they liked our photographer! Choose Tom.

Whether you’re dressed to the nines on the day of your wedding or, the dirty white dress that spent more time on the dance floor than the altar let’s capture the authentic you and have a damn good time doing it.

Katie and Dejan are incredible - do yourself a favor, and book them ASAP! From our very first phone call, I instantly felt comfortable with both of them, and could tell that working together would be relaxed and fun, which was exactly what we were looking for. I could tell as soon as we met them for our engagement shoot that we made the right choice. My husband and I are both deeply awkward in front of the camera, which usually makes us very unphotogenic. Katie and Dejan helped us feel comfortable, gave us all the cues we needed to get cute poses, and we had such a great session! It was so nice being able to meet them both and work with them prior to wedding day. On the wedding day, Katie and Dejan were INCREDIBLE. They kept us on schedule, and (when we inevitably got behind because the bridal party was running late in hair and makeup), they stayed calm and collected, got us back on schedule, and never once made me feel rushed or stressed. They even got us some absolutely breathtaking preview photos literally the next day! I could not be happier with choosing Caitlin Davis photography - would highly recommend them for your wedding, engagement, or any special event! They are the absolute best!

We cannot recommend Samuel & Maria enough! They are so personable and easy to work with. They absolutely nailed the look & mood we were going for. And like the title implies, they aren't just great at what they do; they're great people, too! We cannot recommend the Gernands enough.

Hi I'm Kyle, a Chicago based wedding photographer. I am a romantic at heart and a sucker for a love stories. I strive to get to understand my couples and create images that represent them as authentically as possible.

Awarded Best of Zola
1. Kyle is a true professional - A lot of photographers are great at taking photos but bad a business (Project management, sending you reminders, dealing with difficult family members, coordinating with other vendors, etc.). Kyle has a background in business and I can tell. Feels like I would have him on a consulting project. He works on timelines with you. He gives you firm deadlines, good client management skills. 2. Kyle is good at taking photos - Yup, simple but he takes great photos. I won't get into the weeds but he definitely has some dark and moody ones but some with lighter tones. He does your traditional family portraits, fun photos on the dance floor, but he'll mix in some photojournalistic ones and ones you would expect in a magazine. He was quick to edit and send us photos after the wedding. We didn't have to wait too long. 3. Kyle is fun to work with, he's reliable. He made my wife feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the process. That's huge. It's your wedding day and you want to trust someone. Someone like Kyle. 4. He serves as more than a partner throughout the day and months leading up to the wedding than just a photographer. There is a reason he charges a bit more than some other photographers 5. Personality-wise he was a great medium and I liked it. He's not too bold that he takes over the wedding and distracts from your big day, but he's bold enough to tell people what to do and get the right shots he needs. 6. I would recommend him!

Joanna gives direction well and again, is hilarious. Both communicate SO well and their passion for photography is inspiring. We felt more than comfortable with them along our entire journey!! Our photos are GORGEOUS and they truly captured the memories that we will remember forever. I must include a prime example of how in-tune these two are: I have a scar on my right arm that I am self conscious about and truthfully, it would have been a challenge for anyone to get around. However, our photos limited the number of times my scar was visible, if even at all. A truly unique touch that means so much. We will 100% be booking them to photograph all future events in our lives. I can't say enough about how incredible these two are. Worth every penny and then some!!!

Seth and Mary are a fantastic husband and wife duo. We initially hired them to shoot our Starved Rock wedding which was ultimately canceled; Seth and Mary were THE MOST accommodating vendor that we worked with and made a stressful situation better. We have beautiful photos from our engagement and our “covid take 2” much smaller wedding. Seth and Mary’s eyes see great shots where I couldn’t imagine, their fun demeanor and style gets you to be yourself, and Mary’s ability to wrangle your loved ones for photos is unparalleled - she’s not afraid to get loud, in a good and friendly way, of course.

Let's just say that Kara is exactly the type of person you want by your side on wedding day (and throughout the wedding planning process)! My new husband and I got to know Kara & Daniel very well, as we were a Covid couple and had to postpone our wedding for a year. From the moment I met with Kara through our wedding album, I can say with confidence: she is extremely organized, superb with communication, an incredibly talented photographer & goes above and beyond as your right-hand-woman on wedding day. Definitely do your engagement session with Kara & Daniel - our engagement photos were stunning and perfect to use for save the dates, invites, & wedding day decor. When Covid hit, Kara was super supportive and empathetic. She allowed me to lean on her to talk through the rescheduling process. When we picked back up a year later, it was like we hadn't missed a beat. She is SO helpful in creating a day-of timeline and communicating with vendors. She also diligently kept an eye on the weather & covid protocols and developed plans B, C, D, etc. for anything that popped up. Kara was always there to reassure us that everything would be amazing! And, it most certainly was. On the wedding day, everything was flawless. My new husband and I literally floated through the day. We sat back and watched the events unfold knowing that Kara was there to capture all the special moments. The bulk of photos we took before the wedding/reception and we finished earlier than expected because Kara & Daniel had everything ready to go (as well as umbrellas & several weather apps to be sure we wouldn't get stuck in a summer storm). During the wedding is where Kara really exceeded any expectation I had for a photographer - she just stepped in and helped me in every way. She held my train, changed my shoes, worked with our planner & DJ, played interference when I was swarmed by guests, and calmed my nerves when I got anxious. She is so enthusiastic and kind, but on wedding day she got down to business! That's exactly what you want when you're corralling family & rowdy guests. Oh, and the photos? They are jaw-droppingly gorgeous! We look like celebrities and the quality of her photographs are extraordinary. Thank you Kara & Daniel for everything over these past two years - we'll be forever grateful we had you by our side through the whole process & there to ensure we had (& will remember!) our best day ever!

I would hire her again in a heartbeat. Allie is also very kind&sweet, since the photographer spends the whole day with you it was great to have someone who was just a great human there.

Hi! I'm Kayla - a traveling Milwaukee wedding photographer - and I'm going to make you cry. Wait, what? Don't worry, not in a bad way. Most of my couples say they cry when receiving their wedding photos from me for the first time. Five, ten, fifty years down the road when you open your wedding album, bet I'll get you again. You'll still be surrounded by your loved ones - remembering the happy tears and laughing until your belly hurts - just as you did on your wedding day.

If I could rate Kayla a million stars, I would. She is INCREDIBLE and if you're even thinking about booking her, you should! My wife and I have had the privilege of knowing Kayla since she made the transition to making photography her full-time business. So, once we got engaged and started wedding planning, we knew that we wanted to work with Kayla and man—we were not disappointed. Kayla is so good at her job in the sense that she really takes the time to understand the vibe of each couple, tailoring each session (be it the engagement shoot or the actual wedding) to make sure the pictures are reflective of the couple's style. She also was amazing in terms of helping plan out our day-of schedule. She was so efficient the day-of and she and her team were the best hype-people. When we got our preview back (she's also SO fast), I started bawling again because they are just so beautiful. She captured the emotions, the moments, and the details so perfectly and her editing styling is so dreamy and perfect. I cannot recommend Kayla enough. Not only do we know that we will have beautiful photographs for the rest of our life, but we have a great friend in Kayla now.

I could truly see that she genuinely cares about each of her clients and giving them the best day possible and figuring out what’s important to each couple. I really appreciate this because felt like a collaborate effort. On the day of the wedding, she had the BEST energy. Her joy, positivity and personality truly shine and radiate. I received so many comments on how much guests loved our photographer because of how lively and wonderful she was. Additionally, she was extremely creative by having us do table shots and working with the DJ to turn it into a fun game of which table was the fastest.

Angela is a Destination wedding photographer capturing timeless memories. She loves providing couples with candid images that they can look back on for a lifetime. Her passion is to connect and tell couples’ love stories through the beauty and emotion of the moments captured.

We booked Angela for our Winter Park wedding in the spring. She bared with me through changing venues/planning an entirely different wedding. Angela and I really hit it off but even if we didn’t; her work is impeccable and she is so professional. She handled my insane MIL, lifted me up, and made accommodations that she didn’t need to make. Angela is a DREAM to work with and the sweetest of sweethearts. We received our sneak peek one week out and received almost 100 photos! I recommend Angela to anyone who wants a light and airy photography style.

My name is Kate Scott Daly, and I can't wait to meet you! I'm a Chicago native and have been a professional photographer for nearly a decade. I am obsessed with capturing the perfect moment that will make you gasp and say "Oh my god, this is amazing!" Being a queer woman, it is so important to me that you feel safe, loved, and beautiful every step of the way. If you're looking for someone you can relax with and just be yourself, you've found me! Let's face it: it can be awkward being in front of a camera. Even I feel nervous sometimes! I understand that anxiety and will do everything I can to make you feel fabulous!

Kate was an absolute dream to work with! She brought the energy and fun we were looking for! It was really important to us as a queer couple to have a photographer who understood this and could make everyone feel comfortable. Kate went above and beyond to ensure she could best support us. From the very first phone call I was excited to work with Kate and didn't even talk to any other photographers! I loved Kate's work online and knew she would be great to work with! Kate was fun, energetic, creative and thoughtful in her work! The pictures turned out wonderful! Kate helped us make memories that I will cherish forever!

We are passionate about photographing kind-hearted people who are unapologetically themselves, and creating a safe and beautiful space in the wedding world for LGBTQ+ folx. Our favorite people to work with believe in giving back to their communities, that black lives always matter, that climate change is you know...real, and choose to embrace their own unique quirks and talents.

Awarded Best of Zola
When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

I’ll start off by saying, I’m not nearly as intimidating as my name. In winter of 2017, I married my best friend & now we live in a sweet little suburb just an hour outside of Chicago enjoying the views & peacefulness of living a bit more rural. Our fuzzy puppies Willow & Watson, (Wheaten Terriers who think they're human) love it too! 13 years of wedding experience has prepared me to capture your most cherished moments and turn them into heirlooms. I look forward to learning more about you & your love.
