Elgin, IL
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,350

Having worked with over 400 couples while sharing their unique and special day, I’ve stepped up to the challenge of capturing a couple’s personal style and touch. This is what keeps me so inspired year after year. Weddings and Engagements combine everything I enjoy about being a photographer with a photo-journalist’s background; there’s the history of the moment, the bride and groom are the “celebrities” of the day with the bridal party their “entourage”, the D.J. creates the concert, and the guests are the crowd!

We booked with Louis to photograph our wedding before we even got engaged. It was the first thing we did because we loved his style and the packages/price. Let me tell you we were blown away with this talent and friendliness. At both our engagement session and our wedding we had a lot of fun taking pictures because Louis made it fun. What could be hours of silence besides some photo cues, turned into good conversations and even better pictures. His partner Gabby was phenomenal as well, they made a great team. They work very fast as our wedding was 12/16 and we already have our sneak peeks and our photos will be done in a few weeks! They sneak peeks are absolutely stunning I cannot wait to see the rest. If you’re considering booking with two 2 tango, DO IT! They captured our wedding perfectly. It looks like a movie. Couldn't be happier with our choice of photographer.

Wheaton, IL
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,490

Hej, I’m Anders, originally from Denmark, I made the move to the United States in 2019 to marry my wonderful wife, Kristin. Photography has always been a passion of mine, and I've coupled that with my love for adventure. Whether it's traveling the world, scuba diving, hiking, or ultra running, I've always found ways to incorporate photography into these experiences. However, everything changed for me when I shot my first wedding. Being part of such a special day, filled with love and magic, made me realize that this is what I truly want to do.

My wife and I used Anders for our wedding and we could not have asked for a better photographer. From the first time we met him we knew we were in good hands. It’s clear that he has a passion for photography as well as customer service. We loved his candid style and his skillful editing. He was always open to taking more pictures and he welcomed our input. He truly made our wedding special and we think of him as a key reason why our day was so great. We made many fantastic memories with him and we recommend him to anyone that is looking for wedding photography and beyond.

Jana Blue Photography (Photo + Film)

5.0

Wheaton, IL
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,800

My name is Jana Blue and I've been photographing weddings for 10 years. I'm consistent not in a trend of photos or style, but emotions. Each wedding and couples are so unique and my work follows that. In my career I've photographed both big production weddings and also intimate DIY ones. I've photographed informal engagements and elopements/weddings in a desert in Chile, in the mountains of Zion, in a beach in Croatia, in an ancient church in Greece and in forests in Brazil. I work with all different budgets and needs from my brides. I'm a preferred vendor of Chicago First Lady Boat, so I do weddings on the boat during the summer.

Awarded Best of Zola
It was truly an honor having Jana and her team capture every part of our special day. She exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond with delivering the most stunning and breath taking photos. From the very start, Jana took the time to get to know us as a couple and was with us every step of our planning journey. Even with a family emergency, Jana went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and she delivered an unforgettable experience I will forever cherish. Jana herself radiates so much light, joy, creativity, and passion, and her presence alone made everyone around feel all the good vibes. Jana will work with you and will give you so many great options. Her packages are perfectly curated and she will deliver. Anyone who gets to work with her and her team are incredibly lucky!

Batavia, IL
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,000

I captured my first wedding in August of 2018, it was the day I fell head over heels in love with wedding photography. It's all about capturing the love story for me..the feels from beginning to end. When you book with AGS, you're signing on for an adventure. Your engagement session is a celebration full of us getting to know one another, lots of laughter, and having fun! As your wedding nears closer AGS will help with your timeline, connect with your vendors ( or introduce you to some of the best) and help plan out the perfect photo locations, along with any other needs to create the perfect day.

Gosh, I don't know where to begin with Arleigh. From the beginning, it felt like we knew Arleigh for the longest time. She made us feel so comfortable from the get-go. Her friendly and full of positivity and love personality made us feel so sure about choosing her as our wedding photographer. She captured our personalities and love in the most beautiful way. The photos she took truly showed who we were as a couple. In addition, she was a calming force as I was full of anxiety before walking down the aisle in front of a huge crowd. She made sure we were happy and calm the entire day and was always willing to take care of us in any way she could. I know I will be forever recommending Arleigh to others, as well as using her in the future for family portraits.

Kate Kaplan Photography

Eola, IL
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000

I work to craft images about connection - photographs that have warmth & tell a story about the love you share as a couple or as a family. I believe your wedding photos should stand the test of time. You want to feel completely confident that your story is going to be captured in a way that is beautiful and true to who you are as a couple. Not only that but we should probably have some fun along the way! I feel so honored to play a small part in your best day ever. I am here to help you enjoy this season of your life and have you feel well taken care of from day one.

Awarded Best of Zola
I knew my husband and I needed to at least talk to Kate when I saw a post of hers on Instagram from our reception venue. And then I read the caption on the photo, which was all about the organic moments and crafting a story based on what the couple values and wants to include. My husband and I knew that the first half of our wedding day would be chaotic, spread out across multiple locations and fleeting. Not every photo on the "photo checklist" was possible for us -- and we were OKAY with that. Kate heard us and went along for the ride with us in more ways than one. When we were out of a vehicle the day before our engagement session, Kate offered as much availability as she could. During our ceremony and reception, she captured sweet, posed moments and ones I didn't think had been documented. Her photojournalistic style that enhances natural colors and avoids filters was exactly what we were looking for, and we got it. The only thing I wish I had asked more directly about was the amount of time "posed" family photos would take. We knew we wanted certain photos together AND to enjoy our cocktail hour, and I wish we had budgeted our time accordingly and been more vocal with Kate about it.

Lisle, IL
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000

Shooting weddings is what brings me the most fulfillment and joy. It is pretty amazing when your passion can become your career. I understand the importance of capturing the authenticity and uniqueness of your love. The most rewarding aspect of my work is seeing the joy, sacrifice, beauty and love in marriage. I will help you every step of the way to feel comfortable and confident, but I want to get all of the unplanned moments as well! If you think we're a fit, say hey!

Had the pleasure to work with Rachel & her team this past wedding season. Both her and her 2nd shooter were so kind and easy to work with. We were able to stay up-to-speed with everything and in constant communication throughout our client's wedding -- making execution flow so seamlessly. *VERY important as a fellow vendor / day-of-coordinator to have that team effort and good energy, as it only benefits the outcome of the day. Hope to work with her again in the near future (might even book her to do my wedding someday). Definitely a "Must Book!"

Thomas Doggett Photography

5.0

Batavia, IL
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,400

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.

Thomas Doggett has been photographing me (Mckenna) since I was 13 years old, and every time he delivers phenomenal results! He did pet portraits with me and my horse, my senior graduation photos, my COVID backyard wedding and the larger reception later on, and every single event was absolutely magical. Thomas is easy and fun to work with, and brings a wonderful upbeat and creative attitude to every shoot. 10/10 would recommend!

Zachera Photo

5.0

Elmhurst, IL
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $5,600

Love and storytelling have been the anchors of my life. What began with theatre and paint evolved into my photography career, and I learned love from the very best. This art form allows me to celebrate beauty and hold a mirror to what I believe is the best part of our existence - joy. For this, my heart overflows with gratitude.

Awarded Best of Zola
Simply put, Zachera was the best decision when it came to our wedding planning! The attention to detail that she & her team had on our wedding day reflected in every photo taken. Looking back at the photos makes our hearts swell; they are breathtaking. In the photos, there were so many intimate moments, so much genuine laughter & so much serenity captured. Beyond the photos, our wedding would have not gone so perfectly if we didn't have Zachera & her team! Zachera had every detail of our timeline down & did everything in her power to keep us on track. With our bi-cultural wedding having so many moving parts, that was not an easy task but she executed it in the politest/smoothest way possible. She is the most personable yet most professional person to work with, which is so important in a photographer because they are side by side with you throughout the whole day. We believe that couples should have a connection with their photographer; with Zachera, it's like she read our minds & never missed a beat. She made us feel confident throughout the whole day and left no room for us to panic. She really goes above and beyond for her couples- to the point that she even picked us up Gatorade on the wedding day when it was getting too hot out for us. That wasn't a one time thing or out of character for her; she checked in throughout the whole time leading up to the wedding, encouraging and supporting us in every way. Forever grateful for her presence, the passion she has for her art and her kindness.

Geneva, IL
  • Classic style

I have been a wedding photographer for over 6 years now, but I'm still excited about every wedding I shoot. Every day is different, and I love the excitement and the genuine relationships that I get to capture between the couple, their parents, their siblings, and their best friends. My goal is to help each couple have the best possible day, while capturing their memories in the most flattering and memorable way.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Mary Rose Photography on our wedding day was the best decision ever! Not only was Mary organized and extremely helpful leading up to our wedding, but she made our actual wedding day run so smoothly. Her shots were amazing and she managed to capture every single important detail—beyond what we asked her capture or even thought of ourselves! I highly recommend Mary Rose Photography for your wedding if you want to have amazing quality pictures you will cherish forever!
