Zach Caddy Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (19 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Arlington Heights, IL

A cinematic eye. --- A bleeding heart. --- An inclusive spirit. --- 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 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. 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!

“Zach did such an incredible job shooting our city hall wedding! Having shot several similar ceremonies in the past, he was familiar with the space, knew exactly which moments to capture and where to get the best shots, and he even got there early and saved us a spot in line. After the ceremony and group shots were done, my husband and I spent an hour adventuring around the loop with Zach to take some couples shots. He has a tremendous eye for photography locations, and he captured beautiful moments of us by the riverwalk, under the L, and inside the cultural center. The entire experience felt very natural and so fun -- it was a huge highlight of the day. He got our pictures back to us at lightning speed, and they're all gorgeous. I'd recommend him to anybody. Thanks again, Zach!”

“We can not recommend IG PHOTO VIDEO INC enough. We had Tetyana and Egidijus as our photographers and Irad as our videographer. We also were in contact with Ivan. He was extremely communicative throughout the entire process. From introducing us to Tetyana, Egidijus and Irad, How the process would happen from start to finish to getting our photos and videos back. The photos and video blew us out of the water. We are so in awe of the work and quality they put into our day. They were truly the best to work with from start to finish. The only thing is we have so many pictures I can not choose a favorite. (But that's a great problem to have) They truly captured my husband and I in our photos and videos and we are so blessed we came across their page. This company is 100 percent worth the money and we wouldn't have changed a single thing. You guys were amazing in person and in your work!

Adam Novak Weddings 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Arlington Heights, IL

Being a wedding photographer, I am lucky to be granted front row seats to the most loving moments in life; period. Guests and your loved ones will fly in, hopefully comb their hair and dress to impress; shower you with hugs and kisses. Grandparents will watch and remember and smile with their eyes. Tears will be shed, tight hugs will temporarily stop time and most of these details will inevitably fade from memory... until a couple of weeks after your wedding day, when those defining moments will be lovingly delivered, but this time as a visual storyline... timeless photographs... nostalgia relived.

“Adam photographed both our legal wedding and our larger wedding weekend a few weeks later. Both sets of photos are spectacular. He captured the joy and fun of each occasion in a way that felt both laid-back and intentional. We came away with so many natural, unstilted shots of ourselves and our loved ones. The photos will help us relive these special days for years to come!”

I'm an artist by nature. I love photography, but I also love to paint. Growing up I could color for hours. I come from one of those families where everyone is passionate. Things are really loud and your mom asks you when you've eaten last when you walk in the door. If you come from one of these families, you know exactly what I mean. When my son was born I picked up a camera and embarked on a challenge to learn as much as I could about digital photography. I love to be with people and I love to make people feel good about themselves. We should all have a hype girl and I'd love to be yours.

“Sarah not only takes amazing photos, she has an easygoing personality that puts you at ease on your wedding day. Her organizational skills make the day run smoothly and keeps the stress away!”

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!

“We cannot recommend Kate enough! From the moment we met her, she made us feel completely comfortable and celebrated our love with so much enthusiasm. As a queer couple, it was important for us to work with someone who not only respected but truly celebrated queer weddings, and Kate went above and beyond. She took the time to help us clarify our vision for our wedding photos, which was especially helpful since we only had 6 weeks to plan our wedding and felt a little overwhelmed by the process. She was a great guide and we immediately knew we were in good hands! Kate’s associate Ryan shot the photos on our wedding day and they captured every special moment—from the big emotional vows to the smallest, most intimate glances—with such artistry and care. The photos are breathtaking, full of life, and truly reflect the joy of our day. Right when Ryan arrived, they jumped in with capturing photos of small details and worked to capture everything we wanted for our special day. Kate and Ryan were both an absolute delight to work with—professional, fun, and incredibly talented. If you're looking for a photographer who will make you feel seen, respected, and celebrated while delivering stunning photos, look no further. We are beyond grateful for Kate and Ryan and will cherish these photos forever! Thank you for making our wedding memories so magical!”

Document your day and create a vision with you: together we’ll create a seamless day that doesn’t feel like a posed photo shoot. I am LGBTQ+ friendly and support inclusivity and diversity.

“Ashley is incredible and we cannot recommend her enough! As an LGBQT couple we were looking for someone who not only make us feel comfortable but understood posing for a same sex couple. Starting from our initial kick-off call to our engagement shoot and through our wedding day Ashley was nothing short of amazing! She made us feel at ease and like someone we had known for a lifetime. She was knowledgeable and helpful when it came to picking out a location and poses for our shoots during our engagement session and wedding day. Ashley was prompt, patient, understanding and brought a much needed sense of calm on our wedding day itself. Let's face it, weddings always have a curveball and Ashley was able to go with the flow and help my husband and I feel immediately at ease while still capturing the day. Every photo delivery we would receive, was better than the last. We thought we couldn't be happier after seeing our engagement session and then we received the photos from our wedding day. Ashley captured not only our special moments of the day but the details (flowers, table settings, bar set up, guest book set up etc.) and we couldn't be happier. Quality service, quality photos, quality across the board. At the end of the day Ashley feels like family and that's more than we could have ever asked for!”

Hi, I'm Samuel! Chicago based wedding and elopement photographer here to give couples a truly relaxed and down to earth experience. Being photographed shouldn't be uncomfortable or boring!  Telling love stories through photos brings me immense joy. 

“We loved working with Samuel for our wedding and engagement shoot! We don’t really love taking photos and are not comfortable in front of the camera, but Samuel was so reassuring and made us feel comfortable. We were surprised at how much fun we had at the engagement shoot, and the photos turned out so beautifully! Samuel has an ability to capture very unique and real shots, they don’t feel posed, they capture natural moments which we loved.   Not only are they beautiful, but he really captured everything about the event, from beginning to end!   And I am not sure how he captured everything because I don't really remember seeing him, it's like he was everywhere, but yet invisible. We are really happy with the way the wedding photos turned out, and so glad we have them as memories of our wonderful event. Also, Samuel is just a fun, cool guy and really great to be around.

We are a proud ally of the LGBTQ+ community and happy to serve humans of every background, gender and identity.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We are huge fans of Emma! Here are 5 reasons she should also be your wedding photographer: 1. Emma is incredibly nice and was so generous with wedding organizing wisdom. She helped us feel more confident about the thousands of small details in the entire process, from our first Zoom meeting with her to the engagement photo shoot to the final shots on our wedding day 2. She is incredibly thorough as a communicator. We never had any question about what she needed or what she was doing before, during, or after the ceremony. And she was even very communicative via email with our moms(!) 3. She is so organized but also so creative. She kept our wedding day smooth by planning out all the posed shots needed, and she got all photos back to us in an always impressive timeframe. But she was also always open for a surprising shot or a little experiment. It made her work feel even more personal 4. She was a rock star on our wedding day, if you couldn’t tell. And she was a super fun hang during our engagement photo session, which featured Emma, my wife, and I improvising playful shots during a sudden rain storm(!) 5. Most of all, when she’s taking photos of you, her excitement in that moment fires you up more and makes you feel so comfortable. She makes you feel like your pictures are the best wedding photos ever taken. (But ours were, obviously)”

I was that kid enchanted by Disney Princess movies and the idea of "true love". My true love revealed itself through photography. At 8, I grabbed my dad's camera and was hooked, thrilled to show people my world. I started with zoo animals, friends, and siblings, eager to freeze moments in time. As I grew, I learned from local photographers and knew by 17 that photography was my calling. Since then, I’ve captured love in all its forms: couples, new parents, best friends, and the joy of seeing your favorite band live. The world is full of magical firsts, and I'm honored to capture these moments forever.

I’m Winterlyn Stebner , the owner and photographer behind Winterlyn Photography. For more than 12 years, I’ve photographed weddings across Chicago and beyond, blending editorial elegance with documentary storytelling. From full wedding celebrations to intimate elopements and engagement sessions, I bring a calm presence, thoughtful direction, and an eye for the details that make your story yours. My approach gives you space to enjoy your day, with beautifully composed portraits and honest, candid photographs that bring you back to how it felt.

Awarded Best of Zola
“First, I am SO incredibly happy I went with Winterlyn to capture my wedding day! As soon as she got to the venue, she went to work and did not stop until she left for the night. I appreciated her work ethic, professionalism, advice, and creativity. Her personality made it easy to have a great day, even in the midst of a little chaos. Also, I have to mention her second shooter, Antwonette, was a pleasure to work with as well! Second, the sneak peak pictures....BLEW ME AWAY! I wanted light, airy, magical pictures, and she delivered beyond my wildest dreams (and I only have seen the sneak peaks). Between the detail pictures, portraits, groups, ceremony and reception, Winter sure knows how to capture the magic of a wedding. If you are looking for a photographer, Winterlyn is hands down the best! Thank you for everything Winterlyn!”

Hi, I’m Tim! I photograph joyful, laid-back weddings without all the awkward posing. Whether you’re camera-shy or total naturals, I’ll make sure you feel comfortable, confident, and completely yourselves. Nothing artificial here. If you want a wedding day that feels fun and photos that feel the same — you’re in the right place.

“Tim was the only photographer we even considered for our wedding. We loved the pictures he had taken of other events, and how well he captured the candid moments and little expressions that really made the people shine, and he truly delivered for our event! We couldn't be more pleased with how great the photos turned out, with Tim grabbing moments that we hadn't thought were special at the time but ended up being some of the highlights of the day. He was incredibly communicative and proactive, and always responsive and open to ideas we had. We're so thrilled, and will definitely be working with him again for any family photos we might need in the future!”

Jiho was a tremendous help with the timeline for our day and answered every question. Maggie was our lead photographer. She helped me stay stress-free the whole day and was so kind to all of my girls. We received the full suite of photos three weeks after our wedding day and they are absolutely beautiful.

Bella Donna Studios is a Chicago-area wedding photography and videography studio with more than 10 years behind the camera. Our wedding photography pairs documentary-style coverage with guided portraiture, with two photographers on the day, professionally edited images, a digital sneak peek and online gallery delivery. Collections can add an engagement session, a custom printed album or a 35mm film upgrade. Couples book us across Illinois, Indiana and Michigan, plus destination weddings, and we are a preferred vendor at Être Farms in St. Joseph, Michigan.

“We knew Bella Donna Studios was the right choice after our first conversation with them. They kept us in the loop every step of the way and showed up exactly when they said they would, which made planning so much easier. On our wedding day, the team blended into the background while still being there when we needed them, and we felt completely at ease in front of the camera. They didn't let the rain slow them down and actually came up with poses we never would have thought of on our own. It was clear they truly cared about capturing our story, not just checking boxes. Bella Donna Studios felt like a key part of our day, and their authentic work speaks for itself.”
