  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Des Plaines, IL

Hi, I’m Teri! I’m a Chicago based Wedding Photographer. I approach my photography as an artistic craft. I strive to create images that are emotional and striking. My life’s work is photographing people’s most joyous moments—preserving feelings and details that may otherwise be lost. I am obsessed with creating playful compositions, capturing fleeting moments that make the most treasured memories come alive again. The couples I work with place immense trust in me and it is my honor to create art for them.

Teri was amazing, she got amazing posed and candid photos of our day and the turn around time for our pictures was very quick! She was as even able to work with the poor weather we had to get beautiful fog filled pictures and take advantage of the blue cast at sunset! Would highly recommend her to any and everyone!

Awarded Best of Zola
There are not enough kind words to say about Noelle, she was truly incredible to work with. I knew my husband and I wouldn’t be the most natural in front of a camera and she made our sessions SO FUN. You would never know from our photos it was our first time. She did a great job of giving instructions on how to make us look effortless. Our first call (which was over an hour!) I knew we would get along great, we worked together for almost 14 months and I know if I ever need photography sessions in the future she will be the first one I call. She was so quick to turn around photos, we got our sneak peeks before we even got on the plane for our honeymoon! You need to make sure you choose someone special to follow you around all day at your wedding, and we made the right choice. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Noelle!

Alaura Creative

Chicago, IL
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,900

My name is Alaura, and I am a Chicago-based photographer with a love of great art, true stories, and old-school glamour. I believe in romanticizing everyday life for the joy of it. For me, that means fine teacups on a Wednesday, bouquets for no reason, and a home full of antiques. This also translates to my photography style!

Wow! Truly can't say enough great things about working with Alaura for our wedding. Alaura did our engagement and wedding, along with my boudoir shoot and she absolutely killed it! We are obsessed with her super romanticized style and she totally captured our moody wedding vibes. She was amazing to work with and always made us feel super comfortable in front of the camera and did a great job coaching us in poses. 10/10 would recommend Alaura for all your wedding photo needs! :)

  • Starts at $3,000

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 were so grateful to Samuel who was able to document our city hall ceremony on a very last minute request during the end of year holidays. (Are you free next weekend?) We were drawn to the documentary style of his work and thought it was a fitting way to remember a special moment in a basement of Chicago's City Hall. Leading up to the day, we texted and chatted about places to do portraits after and Samuel was very patient and helpful in suggesting places that felt right for me and my partner. Not only did he have the inside scoop on what the city hall ceremony was going to be like and what was going to happen, but he was also great to hang out with in line and and get to know better. We both felt very comfortable working with Samuel and the nerves of working with a professional photographer for the first time went out the window. I can only imagine how amazing the experience would be to work with Samuel with more time to prepare or at locations a little less drab than a city hall basement!

Awarded Best of Zola
Cristina is too wonderful for words! She is an absolute joy to work with and her photos are beyond stunning. Neither my husband nor I have any idea what we’re doing in front of a camera, and Cristina could not have been kinder or more patient with us during both our engagement photos and wedding day. We brought along our dog for our engagement photos, and Cristina never batted an eye during his less-than-cooperative moments. She made the engagement photo session a complete breeze and so much fun from start to finish. Her partner, Constantin, joined for the wedding day, and they made the most incredible photography duo. They captured all the important moments and ensured that we got every last photo we wanted. They also handled corralling everyone for large family photos in an extremely timely and orderly fashion. They’re both so lovely, fun to work with, and take the most incredibly beautiful photos! I could not recommend Cristina (and Constantin!) more highly.

Dabble Me This

Chicago, IL
  • Fine art style

I made a conscious decision early on in my career that I wanted to LOVE what I do and do what I love. With a bachelor’s degree in graphic design and photography you could say I’m one of the few that stuck with my major and still love it to this day. I’m a helpless romantic, a wife, a mother, a worldwide traveler a marathon runner and a wedding photographer. Deciding who will bring your memories to life is one of your most important ones. When the whirlwind and excitement of the day is over, beautifully captured images will be what help you revisit the romance, emotion and spirit of all of those little moments.

Don’t hesitate to book Christine as your photographer for your next big event, she was incredible! Christine works with you from the start to craft a photography package and schedule that work best for you and your event. Not only does she make you feel so comfortable (and help loosen up any stiff subjects!) during the photography sessions, but she captures the best shots based on the natural light (or lack there of since we had a winter wedding where the sun set early) – and they all turned out perfect. Christine photographed our engagement pictures and our wedding pictures. Both events were impacted by weather and it didn’t even matter thanks to Christine. She turned a rainy day into pure magic, allowing us to have the best pictures as memories. One thing we had never considered when booking a photographer was their ability to help you plan a timeline and stick to that timeline – Christine is by far the best at this! Even with our catholic ceremony, pictures, and reception spanning over 10 hours – she kept us on schedule, while still getting all of the shots that we wanted. We find ourselves still flipping through our wedding pictures everyday, and it was by far one of our best vendor choices. Thank you Christine!

I'm just a suburban girl who decided to turn her dreams into a reality. I'm all about building relationships and connections. After all, that's what wedding photography is all about. 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

Lauryn is the absolute BEST!!! She was the very first vendor we booked for our June 10, 2023, wedding, because I had been following her on Instagram for a bit, and after booking, we never looked back. From the first call, to the engagement photos and to wedding day, she made us feel so comfortable and was responsive and professional. Our engagement shoot was so fun - even my now husband enjoyed it! And now, all our friends and family and my new husband keep raving about how amazing Lauryn is!! She knows what she's doing from beginning to end and ensured everyone on wedding day was comfortable and having fun!! No one felt overwhelmed with "posing" or photos, because it doesn't feel like you're just standing there taking a bunch. Her delivery of our photos was also the fastest in the biz that I have seen and we are OBSESSED with our wedding and engagement photos! I couldn't trust anyone else but her for this huge, special moment in our life. BOOK HER NOW!! I'm so sad the wedding is over, but thankful we have her beautiful photos to look back on and relive the day over and over!!

Hi, I’m Bri! I can drink margaritas like it's my job and get down with my bad self to some old school hip-hop. I own too many house plants and I almost always have a messy bun on top of my head. My love languages are physical touch and quality time. I dance a lot in my kitchen whether it be alone, in front of people or for no reason at all. I value honesty and communication above all else so therefore I have a soft spot for people who speak their mind. The way I choose to live my life is simple, by being present in everything I do. This is what I believe to be the key to a happy life.

As a DJ I get to work with a lot of photographers and Bri Short is at the top of my list. I highly recommend!

M28 Photography & Films

5.0

Chicago, IL
  • Fine art style

I’m all about art and creativity. I absolutely love photography and capturing moments for families and couples. It means a lot to have people appreciate your work and cherish it because it means a lot to them. It’s also cool to have clients who not only enjoy my work with M28 but also become a fan of my own personal projects. I am an activist in every sense of the word. I advocate for issues that speak out against injustices and inequality in an attempt to make the world better for our children.

The Summerset team is the warmest and most professional team. We were nervous about finding a photographer we felt comfortable with, since my husband and I are on the shy side when it comes to photos. Since meeting Mack at a wedding event, we were instantly drawn to working with them. Since then, each person from their team that we worked with was incredible. The process starts off with a call where they get to know you and based on what you are looking for and wanting, they match you with a photographer that is a good fit. And they did such a great job matching us. We worked with Dominique as our lead photographer and had so much fun with her at our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. For our wedding we worked with Dominique and Marcus for photography and Mack as our content creator. They made us feel comfortable and made sure we had fun throughout our wedding. Not only that, but they brought incredible energy. As an added challenge for them, we also have incredibly camara shy family memebers that they were able to take out of their shells and made incredibly comfortable. After spending just few minutes with the team, us and our families were comfortable posing and taking photos, as they almost make you forget there is a camara there. It has only been a few days and because we had the content creator package, we already got an amazing video and previews of our photos. We have no doubt all of our photos will be incredible, and the videos that were captured were so special. They were able to find moments for us to connect with one another in the midst of a lot of activity. Could not recommend them enough.

I never take lightly the incredibly humbling role which my clients entrust me to. It is my job to not only document once-in-a-lifetime moments and emotions but to do so in an artful and romantic manner. My favorite is gallery delivery day when my clients and their families are able to relive the sentiment they felt on the wedding day! Gallery delivery day often results in joyful, tearful calls of thanks and this is the most rewarding feeling in the world!

The photos and video we received from Bonphotage were everything we hoped they would be and more. They will certainly be shared and hung on our walls for years to come. The photographers and videographer were extremely friendly and helpful, offering amazing guidance on how to get the best shots and angles. Ultimately they captured the magic of the day so well that looking at the photos is like reliving the wedding all over again! The finished product was worth every penny we paid.

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Michelle was such a pleasure to work with! I followed her work over the years and love the way she captures the quiet moments in her shots. She was very accommodating and would always ask for input on what we wanted as a couple. She was also great at guiding us during the actual photo shoot of all the small things we should be doing to get tons of different looks. You can tell that she comes from a place of caring and genuinely wants you to have the best shots that you can and is willing to work with you to make sure that happens! Highly recommended!

  • Serves Des Plaines, IL

I am driven to capture wedding days in a purposefully artful, poetic, way – softly directing my couples into the most beautiful light and choosing compositions that highlight their love story. It is vital to give couples the time and encouragement to let go and be themselves. Couples wedding photos should feel like art – pieces they will hang on their walls and look at with awe. My work is heavily influenced by the romance and evocative emotion expressed in a ballet which leads me to create photographs that artfully express the feeling of ones wedding day through the play of movement and light.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved having Reyna there for our day, she made everything so easy and helped the day move very smoothly. We loved our every one of our photos. She did a great job capturing us and all the great little moments of all the guests throughout the day and night. Very professional and organized.

He is so talented, has a calming presence and knows how to capture the best shots. We got our photos back so quickly and they are all so dreamy and we cannot stop looking at them and reliving our perfect day. Steve takes the time to get to know the couple and makes sure the couple's wants and needs are addressed. He exceeded all of our expectations and we cannot wait to get our video footage back! Highly recommend hiring Steve as your photographer. His prices are completely reasonable and he will not disappoint, a true artist!

A POET WITH A CAMERA IN HER HAND: I’m Ayla — pronounced “eye-luh”, like “I love you” — and I never quite grew out of seeing things the way I did as a kid: heart first, bright eyed, curious about everything and particularly drawn to movement and pretty light. My travels, my writing (certified art school kid), and my big family have brought me from that inquisitive, emotional child to the woman I am today: knee deep in wonder & riverbeds, usually mid-laugh, and so full of gratitude for my life I can hardly contain it to language.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Ayla was an absolute dream. From the start I had a whole vision on how I wanted to style our shoot, the vibe of the photos, and a specific location. She listened to every word I had to say and absolutely executed far beyond anything I could’ve ever imagined. She captured my partners and I’s love exactly the way it is. She kept us up to date on the whole entire process. She did all of the research on the location. We requested 3 different cameras and this woman hiked through the national sand dunes with all of her gear like a champ and still KILLED IT. During the shoot she made us feel so comfortable and present in the moment. She perfectly prompted us to get super natural looking poses. I felt like I was hanging out with a friend the whole time we were with her! Ayla sent us previews to hold us over on the excitement and then delivered the whole gallery so quickly after our shoot. When we first saw our gallery we cried like babies. I never thought photos could mean so much to us, but we will cherish these for the rest of our lives. Definitely asking Ayla to shoot every darn milestone in our lives. I seriously don’t have the words to say how happy she has made us and how easy the whole entire process was.

Hey there! Kataryna here. Thanks for checking out my work. I never thought that I would have the opportunity to meet you and everyone else that I have throughout my photography journey. I started photography in high school and fell in love with all that my camera and I could do. In my college years at the University of Iowa, I was able to strengthen my photography skills by taking an internship with a wedding company. Shortly after graduation, I moved back to the Chicago suburbs and began growing my business. A few years later, and I am extremely grateful for everything I have been able to accomplish. ​

What can I say about Kat? She is easy to work with, flexible, professional, creative, and overall incredible to work with! Kat was able to work with us to find a package that fit our needs. During the planning process she was excellent at communicating, responsive to my questions, and open to all my ideas! The day of, Kat and her second shooter Emma arrived early and were a breeze to work with. Kat clearly has a incredibly creative eye and utilized our photo location and my dress so well! Kat had a combo of posed shots and capturing perfect candids. We received our preview photos promptly and our album in a very timely manner.

We had never done a shoot like this and were nervous and worried about feeling awkward, but her easygoing demeanor and natural instructions took all the stress off of us and we really enjoyed the experience. Erin has a detailed eye and a talent for capturing the natural beauty of the outdoors which was important to us. After our first great experience, we asked her to shoot our wedding as well on a cliff overlooking Sedona, AZ. She captured the scenery and golden hour lighting in breathtaking shots that were flattering of us and perfectly captured the grandeur of the red rocks around us. We will treasure the photos forever.

After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

The videographers were very personable and easy to work with, and were confident in their vision. All of the deliverables came even sooner than we were expecting which was a nice surprise, and I've watched our videos sooo many times since we got them back. Truly a great experience!

Throughout my 8 years in business, I have been lucky enough to photograph over 200 weddings throughout Georgia and the other southern states.

As a wedding officiant, I have the pleasure of working with so many different vendors, photographers in particular, and I can honestly say that Taylor is one of the best! Working with her is always fabulous! Her professionalism, creativity, and dedication to capturing perfect moments and special details are second to none. She puts couples at ease with her easy going nature which helps them to relax around her and act naturally, in turn allowing her to capture a variety of gorgeous shots. During the ceremony itself, she blends seamlessly into the background while effortlessly capturing the essence of the heart of the ceremony. So much so that, as the officiant, I am unaware that she is even there which I think is a perfect approach for that particular part of the wedding day! Taylors work is truly beautiful and her commitment to ensuring her couples have the best possible photography experience attention to detail and commitment to excellence makes her a standout choice for any wedding or special event.

Not only did she capture every intimate and beautiful moment, but she also brought a fun and relaxed energy to what could have otherwise been stressful family management.

I love everything about photography - meeting new people, capturing raw emotions, being a part of special moments, giving images a crisp, timeless feel, and delivering memories that will be treasured forever. Each part is so, so special to me! Outside of photography, I love cheering on Husker football, traveling to new places, cuddling my cats, baking cookies, & decorating for holidays!

We originally hadn’t planned on having anyone do videography, but since so many that we loved couldn’t be at our wedding due to COVID-19 restrictions we wanted to have a video to share with them. I’m so glad we did! Laura worked with our last minute wedding plan changes and the video is above and beyond what I ever could have imagined! Not only was it an amazing video to share with friends and family, but it’s something I will treasure forever as I look back on that day. Thanks so much, Laura!

I am a caffeine addict who never sleeps. I love a good thunderstorm and playing Candy Crush for the brain breaks. I adore all kinds of dogs, but I have a special love for German Shepherds. My all-time favorite thing is to sit by the fire with a glass of good cabernet or watch the ocean waves hit the beach. I love to garden and to build things (but I let my husband to finish all my projects LOL). I enjoy good food and will likely refer to a stand up comedy routine at least once in a conversation. I am also a football mom, lacrosse mom and basketball mom. Wife to a very understanding husband and emotional support person for my big puppies.

I catered a wedding for which Silvia Gilbert was the wedding photographer. She communicated with everyone very clearly on timelines. She was very professional and efficient and made everyone feel at ease. I would gladly work with Silvia again.

There’s something to be said about understanding another person. Sometimes you experience it in conversation. You know the feeling: interactions that leave you and that other person thinking, wow; we just said the Exact. Same. Thing. But if you’re lucky it’ll go deeper; understanding that person so much that you begin to anticipate what they may say or do. It's what makes our partnership so strong. As brothers, we understand each other, and we feel it shows in our work. But our greatest joy comes from sharing our work with you. To have all the memories of your day come flooding back to you in waves is magical, and it never gets old.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our entire experience from start to finish was amazing. We received exactly what we wanted in out wedding photos as well as quite a few unique ideas that they came up with based on our personalities. Brighton and Basette were professional and fun! Their presence felt more like family than it did a vendor. In addition to our experience, the quality of our photos was beyond exceptional! They have unique style that made our photos stand out against the traditional style. They have a way of capturing natural emotions and not making things look posed or unnatural. You will have your expectations met and exceeded in choosing Brighton and Basette Photography!

Having Luna Lion Photo Co at our wedding was one of the best wedding decisions we had made.

We were nervous for the sessions as we tend to freeze up and become shy in front of a camera, however Kayti made the whole experience so intimate and fun! Our favorite and most memorable part of the wedding ended up being the photo sessions with Kayti! Kayti's vision is out of this world and if we had to pick again, we would choose her a million times again!

A Charleston Wedding Photographer with a fierce love for storytelling, fostering memories and capturing those moments that you will want to treasure forever. I get to tell your story. And, I think that’s pretty cool. I love traveling everywhere and anywhere, talking with my hands, buying plants (and attempting to keep them alive), and spending as much time as I can with my loved ones. I have lived in Boston, Paris, and New York City, and am now lucky enough to call Charleston home, while also still traveling the world for my clients. You can usually find me on my back porch in downtown Charleston, right next to my favorite little park.

Jessica did an amazing job with our wedding photos! She made sure that we planned all of the portraits we would want ahead of time so that the day flowed nicely. We have only seen our preview photos so far but are blown away with how beautiful they look! Would recommend for any wedding!

Springfield, IL
  • Fine art style

  • Serves Des Plaines, IL for additional fees

At the end of the day, all we have are the stories told about us and the ones we write about ourselves. I love writing about the musings of life and sharing my thoughts with others in conversation and social media posts. I constantly document my own life so I don't forget the big or little moments. Every time I travel to somewhere new I love connecting with those who cross my path, and yet I equally love coming home to my dog. TLDR: sentimental soul, avid movie goer, mental health advocate, and decent chocolate chip cookie maker.

where do i even begin? we were so blessed to have Rachael with us on our special day. we hired Carissa for our wedding photography & chose to have her bring an extra shooter with & BOOM! we somehow got blessed with Rachael as our bonus. i could go on about everything from her amazing personality, the positivity & happiness absolutely exuding from her at all times, her killer taste in music, the sheer talent that is her photography skills (both behind the camera & assisting in posing with such ease), to the way she somehow makes it feel like an old friend is with you every step of your wedding day (even if it’s the first day you met her), wrapping you in her beautiful scarf to keep you warm between photos & the ceremony because you were shivering, & is even willing to join your friends and family on the dance floor amidst capturing the most amazing memories for you. never did i feel rushed, if anything she helped me keep my cool about my timeline & helped ease so much of my anxiety about it. okay, i know what you’re thinking, “amy this seems like an excessive rant for a wedding photographer.” BUT YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND!! our photography was one part of our wedding we were willing to splurge on, & if i hadn’t decided we absolutely needed a second photographer for the day then i would have never been absolutely blessed with Rachael. not only did she capture so many of our posed moments, but more importantly the candid moments that i was too busy spinning around like a maniac to notice & are now some of my favorite pictures. our photographers are one part of our day that i will FOREVER absolutely rave about to everyone & always recommend to future brides because i want them to be able to experience the same beautiful souls & genuinely perfect encounter i got that day. Rachael is the kind of person you want to reach out to when you’re thinking about future photoshoots, & who makes you want to do photoshoots just for an excuse to get to experience both her presence & her absolute talent again. if you were debating hiring Rachael, PLEASE don’t second guess it. you will NOT be disappointed. (did i mention the photos she delivered are simply out of this freakin’ world?! because OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS!)

Hi there, my name is Jen El-Haddad! I am the lead photographer and owner of "Jennifer Mary Photography". I specialize in lifestyle photography and portraits! I started this business almost a decade ago, as a Photography/Computer Digital Imagery student at Shepherd University (Go Rams!) with a dream to share the artistic joy with others. However, life seemed to have a different plan. I slowly moved into the corporate world and lost touch with my creative side. After lots of soul searching and a 7-year hiatus, I found my love for photography (again.

Jen was amazing! Prior to our wedding we booked our engagement photos with Jen, so we could practice poses. I had a very particular lighting style, and Jen listened to my wishes and used the most amazing light angles and edited the photos in the was I had asked for. Prior to the wedding we had phone calls and meetings to make sure we had a set list of the photos I wanted, so that the day of nothing would be missed and it was stress free. Wedding day Jen captured every moment from getting ready, to the ceremony, family portraits, couples photos and even dances at the reception. Jen is kind, caring, respectful and professional. She was truly a joy to work with and I am in love with my wedding photos! I highly recommend booking your wedding, engagement or any pictures with this lovely photographer!

Fueled by equal parts strong coffee and French 75's, I spend my days capturing the kinds images that convey distinctive emotion through intentional moments and create elevated images you'll treasure for a lifetime. I showcase your story and love in an exceptional gracious way. I believe in real moments, heartfelt conversations, love stories that grow stronger through the storms and the kind of joy that can be found in the simplest of moments. When I'm not tearing up during the vows you'll find me in the kitchen whipping up a new recipe, dancing to Sinatra with my husband, or snuggling with my mini me.

Working with Rohana was one of the best experiences. She was fun, professional, hilarious, and prepared. Her photos were incredible. She was an essential aspect of the wedding team.

When we had our engagement session that assured us that we chose the right photographer for our day. The images we received from our session were just beautiful and really captured our love for one another. Everything leading up to our wedding was wonderful and she was extremely helpful as we ran into some hiccups with other vendors and she was there to help us find someone just as amazing. The day of our wedding was better than we could have dreamed. Our vendor team was amazing, Cassandra took care of everything and some, she keep us on our timeline, made the day so enjoyable but also took charge so I wouldn't be stressed out. She is so talented and not only an amazing photographer, but a life long friend now.

I have studied fine art photography long before I ever started taking portraits of other people and shooting weddings. Fine art photography was my beginning, creating conceptual and authentic art that spoke to me and told my story was what I started with and then I started blurring that line between fine art and documentary. I started documenting other people and their lives in the same way that I created my own work intended for shows and galleries. That is how I came to the style that I shoot now, still blending the two parts of my life.
