Michelle Zapantaย Photographyย 
Rating: 5.0 (19 reviews)
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,800
  • Serves Bourbonnais, IL

What started out as a hobby, evolved into a great passion. With a camera on hand for every event, I spent my lunch money as a young kid developing films at the photo store. I became so fond of capturing as many organic moments as I can in photographs and fell in love with the idea of telling people's stories in images rather than words. I started venturing into professional photography right after my own wedding to my high school sweetheart, Erick, which was back in 2014. I LOVE everything wedding-related. My favorite to photographs are the wedding details, the bride and groom portraits and anything that will make me either cry or laugh!

Our engagement photos & wedding photos are perfect and she captured our story just the way we envisioned even including our perfect puppy Maui. She made sure to get all the important shots day of wedding & went above and beyond the entire day making sure my husband and I didnโ€™t donโ€™t forget any important photos.

  • Serves Bourbonnais, IL

I am a professional photographer and artist based in Lockport, IL. I own Two Birds Photography and I've been photographing weddings and families for about 20 years. I'm a sensitive nature guy who loves to talk to trees, pick up rocks, and put my hands in running water. I'm good natured, goofy in my own way, introspective, and intuitive. Along with my partner, our house is full of love with four boys, three cats, and dog. I like to create art, make things with my hands, work with plants in a garden, go on hikes, explore the world, talk one-on-one with people, and I like to laugh.

โ€œJake is so much more than a wedding photographerโ€”heโ€™s a true visual storyteller. Every photo he took is filled with emotion, intention, and artistry. Looking at our photos now, Iโ€™m instantly transported back. He captured not only the big moments but also the quiet ones: stolen glances, joyful guests, the delicate details of our table settings. He saw everything without ever being in the wayโ€”so calm, so observant, so low-maintenance that we barely noticed him, yet he gave us the most complete and beautiful memory of our wedding. His attention to detail and his ability to see the full picture and the tiny moments is truly special๏ผ Jake made us feel totally comfortable in front of the camera, never forcing poses or interrupting the flow of the day. Instead, he brought our photo ideas to life with his own artistic touchโ€”elevating them beyond what we imagined. If youโ€™re looking for someone who will give you timeless, meaningful, and artful photos while letting you fully experience your wedding dayโ€”Jake is the one.โ€

โ€œAbsolutely blown away by our experience with Erica as our wedding photographer! From our very first conversation, everything felt so personalizedโ€”she really took the time to understand what we wanted and made sure every detail reflected us as a couple. What stood out the most was how incredibly thoughtful and attentive she was. Erica made sure I felt completely comfortable in front of the camera (not an easy task!) and extended that same warmth and ease to every single person in our wedding party. She has a way of making people relax and have fun, which truly shows in the photos. The entire day felt special, not just because it was our wedding, but because Erica helped make it memorable in every way. The moments she captured are more than just beautiful imagesโ€”theyโ€™re full of life, emotion, and joy.

Here at Studio 7 we like to focus on giving clients quality product with an artistic approach. As well I like to provide a satisfying customer experience. I have been doing photography since 2008. I was inspired by senior trip to Paris, France. Later I went to the Institute of Art Chicago in 2010. There is where I learned a variety of styles of photography. Studio 7 is more than a business for me , it's my passion.

โ€œWe didnโ€™t plan on have a photographer due to our budget, but we ended up changing our mind at the last minute. We were afraid that we wouldnโ€™t be able to afford it, but Studio 7 was exactly what we needed. They responded right away, and I explained our financial situation, and they were so kind to work with what we had. They traveled for our special day, and captured all of our important moments. Even after our agreed time had ended, we had requested they stay an extra hour or 2, and they didnโ€™t even hesitate! Very kind and lovely people. They even captured our post wedding shoot in the city, and couldnโ€™t ask for a better experience!โ€

Iโ€™m Edgar, an HTX-raised native with Salvadorian roots. I am the owner, creative director, and lead photographer at Anchor Studios Photography. I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based out of Pittsburgh, PA! However, the stories I capture don't start and end there. I love to travel to capture stories all around the world.

โ€œWe had our wedding in California and Edgar flew out and helped make our day so memorable! We didn't know him before and didn't end up doing an engagement shoot (so I was a little nervous) but he absolutely nailed it. His photos are stunning (I've gotten a TON of compliments on them), he is extremely communicative, and he had a bunch of photos ready to go by the end of the wedding. Both me and my husband aren't great at posing for photos and he knew exactly how to place us without it feeling faked. Super easy to work with and just a really nice guy. I'd highly recommend him to anyone!โ€

Hi! I'm John, a wedding photographer based in Chicago, IL. I believe deeply that great wedding photography is about creating imagery that is as visually compelling, as it is emotionally significant. Weaving the images together to tell unforgettable stories. My distinct 'documentary meets fine-art' style is a product of my unrelenting commitment to my craft and the complete trust that my couples place in me. I primarily cover weddings in the Chicagoland area, but I will travel to any destination worldwide for those seeking an adventure.

Awarded Best of Zola
โ€œJohn Foley is THE photographer you need for your wedding! From the moment my mom, now husband, and I met him & after seeing his work, and the awards his work has received - we knew we wanted him to document our special day. John was kind, professional, and very organized. He worked so well in the space given to him (it was not big while getting ready) & still the pictures came out beautiful. He knew how to direct people and quickly take portraits. But also was very sneaky and I didnt notice him unless he was directly asking to take a picture. Most importantly - he goes out of his way to make the picture happen. I lost my father 4 months before my wedding & forgot to take a picture I had in mind between the hustle & bustle - he was able to photoshop/create an image that truly looks like he took it. John is your man - TRUST MEโ€

A decade in professional theater. Nine years as a fine art street photographer. Now I shoot weddings. The theater taught me comfortโ€”how to help nervous couples relax and forget the camera. The street work trained my eyeโ€”finding extraordinary frames in ordinary moments, chasing light like it owes me money. The result: signature portraits that feel like paintings and a shoot that feels like hanging out with a friend. 300+ weddings. 151+ five-star reviews. A 10-photographer team. Zero cookie-cutter work. Camera-shy? Creative? Both? Let's talk.

Iโ€™m Reyna, the heart behind Sea Circus Weddings. With over 12 years of experience as a wedding photographer, my passion for wedding photography is inspired by my grandparentsโ€™ enduring love; their wedding photos are cherished pieces that guide my work. I strive to create heirloom, film-inspired images that celebrate genuine emotions and joyful moments. I live in a charming Tudor house with my husband, our two little girls, and our cat, Goose. In my free time, I enjoy camping, cooking, and getting lost in a good book.

Awarded Best of Zola
โ€œhow do you start a review for someone that means so much more to you than just a photographer, a wedding vendor, a person that is capable of capturing all of your happiest moments? From the very start, Reyna was attentive, thoughtful, generous, and kind. Sheโ€™s not the generic sort of โ€œkind,โ€ either. She is the shirt off her back, put others before herself, drop everything to make sure everyone is doing well type of kind. From the first interaction with Reyna, we knew that we would be so lucky to have her throughout our engagement period and wedding day. planning and paying for a wedding all on your own as a 28 year old couple is no easy feat, but Reyna worked with us every step of the way and was more than considerate. I am forever grateful that I stumbled upon her gorgeous photos and insanely aesthetically pleasing Instagram profile. I thought โ€œno way are we going to be able to snag a photographer this talented.โ€ Reyna made all of our dreams come true. She was able to capture the most gorgeous engagement photos of all time - I think she might even have magical powers and was able to curate the perfect sunset complete with sprinkles of rain and a rainbow. People, including us, were absolutely blown away by the pictures, how she was able to really capture our personalities, and how she added her touch of magic. We really didnโ€™t think that we could love photos any more than our engagement pictures. And then she sent us sneak peaks from the wedding day. Reyna continually blows us away with her talent. I truly think I was able to keep it together emotionally on the day of because I had Reynaโ€™s sweet, calm, and reassuring presence with me every step of the way. We have gotten so lucky with all of our wedding vendors becoming friends and family to us and Reyna is at the top of that list. Now that we have met and loved Reyna in our wedding era, we cannot wait to have her with us for all of the rest of our eras in life. We might even have to make up some life events just so we can hang out with her again. Never in my life would we feel this lucky to have someone like Reyna in our corner and I hope for everyone to be able to experience the talent, warmth, and love that Reyna exudes in everything that she does.โ€

I'm a traveling wedding & elopement photographer based in Michigan. I am always down for an adventure. There is so much to explore and experiences to be had. I love getting to know rad couples and capturing some pretty iconic moments for them. Let's get this party started by sending me an inquiry!

Awarded Best of Zola
โ€œFor starters, we had Taylor do our engagement pictures- my fiancรฉ and I never had professional photos together and to say I was nervous, was an understatement. Taylor drove over 3 hours to do our little engagement shoot and came with this little speaker and the most warming personality. She made us feel completely comfortable and the pictures really spoke for themselves. She directed us and really made the experience something so fun. Fast forward to a year later, we obviously used her for our wedding. Not only did she help with our wedding timeline, but was easy to communicate with, prompt with response times, and really was excited for our big day. On our wedding day, Taylor was a complete professional. We stuck to a strict timeline and were able to get all our pictures done, still have time to enjoy cocktail hour, and mostly be present during our reception. Taylor has the most vibrant personality and makes everyone feel special on your day. She will hype you up and the next moment have you cracking up. Our wedding photos were exactly what we wanted. The pictures really captured the essence of our wedding, the feelings we had throughout the day, and the love we shared with everyone there. I would and DO suggest her to anyone who asks. Taylor really was the best choice a couple could ask for.โ€

We never take lightly the incredibly humbling role which our clients entrust us to. It is our job to not only document once-in-a-lifetime moments and emotions but to do so in an artful, romantic and documentary manner. We are passionate about storytelling through images that elicit an emotional response, using both film and digital mediums. Our style is unobtrusive which allows us to capture fleeting moments of joy, love, and tenderness with intentionality.

โ€œโ€œWOW. Just WOW!! I honestly can't say enough good things about Lynzie and her team at Bonphotage. Booking Bonphotage was easily the best decision we made for our wedding and I truly could not imagine my wedding without them. From the first phone call with Lynzie, I felt completely at ease - her professionalism, knowledge and enthusiasm left us feeling that choosing Bonphotage for our wedding photography and videography team was a no-brainer. Leading up to the wedding, Lynzie and her team were responsive and detailed. They were instrumental in making sure our timeline was carefully tailored to ensure we received every image we desired while never feeling rushed or unnatural - and that is how we could best describe our whole experience with Bonphotage - ABOVE AND BEYOND! During the wedding day, the Bonphotage team struck the perfect balance between making sure we looked flawless by offering advice on poses, while still making us feel completely candid and natural! Our family and guests commented many times that they barely even noticed that our pictures and videos were being taken all night long! Lynzie, in particular, was meticulous, with razor-sharp senses anticipating every moment and emotion so carefully. The photography and videography team worked together seamlessly in a cohesive and planned manner. Truly a DREAM TEAM! But the BEST PART?! - the pictures were absolutely BREATHTAKING!! STUNNING!! and FAST! We got our entire wedding gallery in two weeks! We knew Lynzie and her team were incredible from looking at their portfolio online and following (ok - stalking!) their instagram for years - but the photos surpassed our already very high expectations in literally every way!! We couldnโ€™t be happier. We will cherish these images for the rest of our life!! Do yourself a favor and hire Bonphotage!!โ€โ€

I do this job every weekend because I'm one of those people that is obsessed with pictures. Not just for a living, but for myself. I understand the value in photography. I do this for people who are just like me. For the ones who cherish those photos hanging on the walls. The photos still in that purple glitter album from 2002 of you and your friends in Limited Too. Those memories are all we have from the anchors that built us. Photos are proof that we have lived

We were nervous about engagement photos as neither of us are super comfortable in front of a camera, but she made us feel at ease, knowing exactly how to guide us and make us feel natural. We are a type-A couple, so Lauryn's professional platform was another huge benefit to working with her.

This made us feel so supported throughout the planning process. Lastly, on our wedding day she was such a pleasure have with us.

Hi! I'm Christin, a destination wedding photographer based in Chattanooga, TN. Specializing in timeless and artful imagery, my expertise goes beyond just taking photos; it's about crafting a visual story that reflects the joy, love, and unique spirit of your celebration.

โ€œWorking with Christin at Christin Sofka Photography was one of the absolute highlights of our wedding journey. From our very first inquiry to the days following our wedding, Christin has been nothing short of phenomenalโ€”responsive, professional, fun, and such a warm presence throughout. We initially found her because of her stunning photography style, but it was her incredible personality that sealed the deal. From our first call, she genuinely wanted to get to know usโ€”our story, our vibe, our visionโ€”and it showed in everything she did. Before we even officially hired her, Christin was helping us find a venue that aligned with our dream, connecting us with other amazing vendors, and offering support in ways far beyond the role of a photographer. She was in it with us every step of the way. Iโ€™m usually awkward in front of a camera, but somehow Christin made it feel effortless and fun. She created an environment where we could just be ourselvesโ€”and that joy, love, and personality came through in every photo. Our pictures shine with who we are. Every idea we had, she embraced and brought to life in ways that exceeded our expectations. She was just as excited as we were the entire timeโ€”and honestly, I canโ€™t imagine our day without her. Christin is not just a photographerโ€”sheโ€™s a true artist, a cheerleader, and a calming, creative force youโ€™ll be so lucky to have by your side. If youโ€™re considering hiring her: do it. Youโ€™ll be singing her praises too.โ€
