Chicago, IL
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,400

I have always loved capturing memories. I learned that from my Uncle Mike. Since he passed away, I have picked up his hobby of capturing people's beauty and the emotions they share in a single moment. I hope I can share that love with you as well! ​ I grew up in the northern suburbs of Chicago, and now I call a cozy neighborhood in Chicago home. When I'm not taking photos, you can find me reading a good book, grabbing drinks with friends, snuggling with my cat, or riding my Peloton!

I've been photographing weddings now for over a decade, and if I'm being totally honest with you, I had expected to burn out on this gig years ago. Instead, here I am still falling more deeply in love with it -- with those hugs and big laughs and tears and nervous jitters, and all the big and little moments that make up your days. Every second of it feels so special to me, and the fact that I get to capture that will never cease to blow my mind and fill me with gratitude.

Awarded Best of Zola
️️️️️ Choosing Drzazga Photo for our wedding was hands down the BEST decision we made while planning. Since getting our gallery back, we are still getting compliments on how gorgeous and unique our photos turned out. When we met Carly during our engagement session we knew right away that she and Kasey would make us feel comfortable and would be the perfect pair to capture such an important day in our lives. We loved our engagement pictures so much we used them for everything (bridal shower invitations, wedding invitations, rehearsal dinner invitations and thank you cards). I think we looked at them all 1,000 times. They captured our love for each other and excitement so perfectly. Our wedding gallery was like looking at pictures from a fairytale. Our getting ready pictures, portraits, ceremony and reception photos are beautiful. They captured gorgeous pictures of us, but also of our family and friends whom we shared such an important day with. I love thinking about how someday these pictures will be shared with our own children, grandchildren and family. Weeks after our wedding we decided to become puppy parents to an adorable Cavapoo named Teddy. The Drzazga’s have captured such sweet moments of our love story this year. We couldn’t think of a better way to end it than a trip to Cleveland in November for a holiday mini session at their studio, with of course the newest addition to our family, Teddy. Thank you Carly and Kasey for capturing all of the sweet moments of this amazing year. You are truly the best of the best. Love, The Rishers

Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving and laughing. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I got you!

Isaac was great during our engagement shoot! We were very nervous about the shoot but he made us feel totally comfortable. He took photos in a variety of poses, backdrops, etc and showed us the photos along the way to see what we liked and didn't like. We both feel much better going into the wedding now!

Deforest, WI

  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Elk Grove, IL

My name is Elliot Stokes and I am a photographer located in the Madison, WI area, but I work all across Wisconsin and Illinois. I have been drawn to the camera since I was young, but becoming a father has really shown me the magic behind capturing the most candid and beautiful moments of our lives. I started my journey into professional photography officially in the summer of 2019 and received my Bachelors of Fine Arts degree with honors in Digital Photography in the spring of 2022. I absolutely love what I do and look forward to every new experience and opportunity this journey takes me on!

Elliot is an artist! Fantastically more than a photographer. He captured the most amazing moments for us to remember forever. And if you have an outdoor event, as we did for our engagement photos, wedding, and reception, we recommend you ask for his drone. The aerial view videos and close ups look straight out of a movie. I recommend Elliot to anyone who invested a lot of time and energy to make their event one to remember. Elliot exceeds all probable expectations to capture the essence of who you are and your guests. Thank you, Elliot, for making us feel like movie stars through and through.

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!

HEY! I'M ASHLEY! Aka, Your Professional third wheel! I am so happy you dropped by! I am a uber bubbly, warm hearted, person who loves to order 3 drinks at Dutch Bros and say its for other people but really its just for me. When I am not spending my lifes savings at Dutch Bros, I am professionally following peeps in love and photographing their stories. I am a lover of true crime and murder podcasts! (But I mean who isnt! I just cant help it!) FUN FACT: I speak switzerdütsch, aka a German slang. My mom is originally from Switzerland and my dad from Jamaica, so you know I am always hungry for adventures (and new places to binge eat at).

So we scheduled our wedding day, then few months later COVID hit. So I was like oh we have time we good. Then it kept getting closer and closer.... I was freaking out, but luckily Ashley as our photographer, helped me to stay calm, while continuing to finish planning the wedding. Her photos captured all the love that my husband and I share. She got more then I expected of clear beautiful photos. I never thought I would have beautiful photos because I HATE taking photos. She made me feel beautiful and like a model. I can not thank you enough for everything!

San Francisco, CA

  • Serves Elk Grove, IL

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
Overall I would say Isaac and Love Knot Photography are just what I was hoping to find in a wedding photographer. Someone who is very creative, friendly, organized and experienced. I could totally trust he would see to it that my photos were taken care of in every way possible. The standard photos you would expect at a wedding and unique photos that were original to our seashore location all turned out great! The photos started as we were getting ready. Isaac took some beautiful shots of the wedding dress and important jewelry I was wearing. Abstract moments before the ceremony were a blur in my mind and it was so fun to relive the events through the behind the scenes photos. Isaac and his team got some great photos of all the little ceremonies we had scripted for the ceremony program as well as the games and activities during the reception. Taking different ideas and types of shots for the sunset photos was one of my favorite parts of the day. For me it was a chance to get away from the party for a moment and fun to work with Isaac one on one and see the ideas he had for taking some photographs that will be special forever. During our sparkler grand exit, Isaac was very helpful in organizing our guests. As well as my husband and I. The photos turned out very romantic. Some of my favorites of the whole day. Thank you Isaac and Love Knot!

We are traveling wedding photographer and videographer. For 2024, we have 70+ weddings booked in 21 different states. Our shooting style is photojournalistic, natural, CINEMATIC to traditional. Our editing and style depends. Very easygoing and flexible depending on the client's preference. Our team is dedicated in delivering memories.

We were fortunate enough to have Randell as our wedding photographer and videographer as I just stumbled to find him in a local wedding facebook group and without a doubt, he is THE BEST! From the moment we met him, it was evident that his professionalism and passion for his craft set him apart. His efficiency on the big day was truly remarkable. He seamlessly blended into the background, ensuring he captured every significant moment without being intrusive. His ability to organize group shots and direct us for those perfect candid moments showcased his experience and expertise. Now, let's talk about the photos - they are nothing short of spectacular! The only "problem" Randell presented us with was making every single photo look so incredible that it's nearly impossible to choose our favorites! As an artist myself, to me each image is a work of art, reflecting his keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of lighting and composition. Randell not only delivered on capturing the essence of our wedding day but exceeded our expectations. His creativity and skill turned ordinary moments into extraordinary memories. We are beyond grateful for his dedication and the timeless images he has given us to cherish for a lifetime. If you're in search of a wedding photographer who not only meets but exceeds expectations, look no further than Randell. He's not just a photographer; he's an artist who turns your special day into a visual masterpiece. Thank you, Randell, for making our wedding day truly unforgettable!

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 absolutely amazing to work with from our engagement session to our big day! Our engagement shoot was supposed to be on a day when it rained and she was so flexible to change our session to another day. She helped guide us on what to do/what poses to do. She was always prompt in responding and just the sweetest, nicest person to work with. On our wedding day, I ended up getting a little overheated and Michelle & her husband were so sweet and made sure I had a moment to sit down and literally fanned me with a magazine so I could cool off. On a day when so much was going on, it meant so much to me that they made sure I was okay and comfortable. I can’t say enough great things about our photos- they turned out even better than I could’ve imagined. I’m obsessed with our wedding photos and will cherish them forever. Thank you so so much Michelle!!

She is an expert in her field and holds a Master of Fine Art in Photography from the School of Visual Arts.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do I begin, Heather is an incredible talented photographer to work with! Goes above and beyond to do a great job! Through a recommendation of a professional wedding hair stylist, we were introduced to "Heather Olker Photography". From the start, Heather's approach and her overall personality was one that aligned completely with us. You will come across several vendors during the wedding planning process that have overpowering personalities.. Heather and her team are very well organized, responsive, sweet, helpful and communicated very well with us and with our coordinator at the venue. She helped us in creating the perfect timeline for our wedding day, made us feel completely comfortable through the process. Responded promptly to all our questions and concerns. She traveled from NY to Boston to photograph our engagement photo session, and wedding photos. Which we absolutely love!!! All things being equal, my husband and I are not the most photogenic people ;) The engagement photo session (which I encourage everyone to get one, if only as an opportunity to get to know your photographer before the big day) it allowed us an opportunity to see Heather as someone who completely goes with the flow with our collective vision. There is so much attention to detail you put into your wedding day and those memories are all now fleeting. But investing in someone like Heather and her professional team for your wedding day, capturing the pictures of not just you, but more importantly to us - our family and close friends - was the wisest investment that we could have made last summer. If you're wondering whether or not to book her as your photographer for your special day, don't hesitate. There is no one better! We Highly recommend her. Thank you once again Heather "Heather Olker Photography". Much appreciated, Claudia & Greg

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Chelcie for my wedding was one of the best decisions we made! Not only did she do a beautiful job, but she made it so stress free! Before the big day there was plenty of communication. She collected a full list of must get photos, biggest moments to capture, and day of timeline. The absolute best thing she did during our wedding was sneak my husband and I away during the reception for some private golden hour photos. They came out so good and I'm so thankful she was on top of it to make sure I didn't miss anything. On top of the great photos, when I got the finished photos in the mail, she also sent a hand written note and a framed photo of her favorite picture of us from that day. It hangs on my wall now for us to see every day. It was just made the whole experience that much more personal! 10 out of 10! I recommend her to everyone I know.

They have chemistry and work really well together and make everyone feel relaxed and comfortable. Not to mention the photos are magazine worthy stunning. Hiring Elle & Co Photography was our best vendor decision of our day!

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.

She's the best of the best when it comes to wedding day, she will guide her couples and work with them to get the shots that they love and need for memories. I appreciate her ability to get the job done and doesnt stress her couples to the max.

Awarded Best of Zola
The first part of wedding planning for us was finding the photographer because it was the most important to me (other than the man I was marrying). I was prepared to search high and low to find the perfect photographer, but Jessica found us! After attending a wedding expo she reached out and offered her services. We met for coffee and discussed our hopes and dreams for our upcoming wedding. There was an instant connection! I told Jessica wedding photos were at the top of my priority list, because they’re what lasts forever. I can look back on those photos and remember the excitement, happiness, and pure joy of marrying the man of my dreams. I told her I was looking for someone to capture the little moments along with the big. Jessica promised us everything we asked for and, man oh man, she delivered!!! I cannot speak highly enough of her. Every part of the process was made simple because of her organization and talent. Every communication we had was prompt, thoughtful, and respectful. She listened to our wishes, offered her expertise, and created unbelievable results!! Jessica and her assistant (Crystal) were fun to be around and made our sessions with them fly by. They made sure every detail was picture-perfect… even during our freezing cold outdoor engagement session. If anyone asks me for a photographer, Jessica is the name I give, every single time. She signed on to do our wedding, but we are now her clients for life because no one will compare to the incredible job she does. Let me squash any doubts you have and help you with the best decision you’ll make when it comes to finding a photographer… just hire Jessica Yahn!! We are forever grateful to have crossed paths with her!!

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.

Reyna was beyond amazing. First off, our photos are spectacular and timeless. She was able to capture such special moments that are difficult, like when we were dancing at the reception or hugging our family after the ceremony. Our couple photos were filled with laughs and movement, and she made us look beautiful. Even our photos, even the family and wedding group photos, came out natural and soft. Secondly, Reyna is so kind, understanding, wonderful to work with. We benefited from her experience and guidance, all the while keeping our wishes intact. Hands down, best find of our wedding!

He has an eye for things that most people wouldn't have seen. I've had the pleasure of getting to work with him several times now and he's so kind and has such a calming presence which is exactly what you want from your wedding photographer/videographer! I'm currently helping my sister plan her wedding and when she got engaged he was the first vendor I sent to her to look at. She was blown away, as I knew she would be, by his work and loved how his wedding videos felt so natural, candid, and also didn't look like every other wedding video. His ability to tell a story both in photograph and video is remarkable. As a wedding photographer, if I had to redo my wedding day, I would without a doubt have Steve there to capture it.

She kept me sane and on track the entire day and even advocated for me when I was too anxious to do so myself. Our photos are stunning and far exceeded my expectations. The gallery is simple to access and share. I was happy to see that it is also organized by the type of picture and time of day. It was also very easy to favorite and order any photos that I wanted.

I'm also a yogi and, admittedly, a wannabe Spaniard who would move back to Spain in a heartbeat to indulge in the simple pleasures of delicious tapas, red wine, cheese, and late dinners. Traveling and spending time with my little family brings my heart joy. Having lived and worked in Poland, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, Argentina, and Spain, has deeply inspired my will to explore more of the world and my style behind the lens to capture the essence of moments as they happen naturally and spontaneously.

Going back and reliving our wedding through Dominika's photos has been the best way to get over those post wedding blues. Besides capturing the most beautiful photos that we will treasure forever, she was incredibly wonderful to work with and an all around amazing person who I will miss calling/texting/emailing with! When we changed our wedding venue, a month and a half before the wedding, Dom immediately offered to go look at the new venue with me and was such a calming presence through a very stressful process. She really is the best and I’m so happy to have these beautiful memories!

I photograph your wedding day, I edit the photos and you have my promise that your happiness with your wedding photos is my top priority.

Tiffany was amazing! She came to my house in the morning to take pictures of the girls, then went to where my fiancé was getting ready to take his pictures, and then met us at the venue. She was very punctual and friendly. Tiffany is SUPER easy to work with and her prices are very reasonable. The photos came out amazing! My fear was that the photos would be “over edited” since I have seen that before. However, Tiffany made my photos look very professional and captured my vision 100%! My wedding photos are high quality, natural looking photos which I love! If I could go back, I would not hesitate to use Tiffany again.

Jason is incredible. He is a talented photographer and storyteller, and a great business person to boot! He is exactly who you want your friends and family to interact with your wedding day. I would highly recommend him to any person looking to capture the essence of their wedding day and of their beloved family and friends. Regarding the business perspective: my partner and I planned our wedding from afar and from the start Jason was responsive and easy to work with. I admire that he didn’t pressure us on hurrying to book the way other photographers did and he made the time to connect with us. He was also able to process photos quickly and with high quality. Regarding the photos: we purchased his engagement and wedding day package and I could not be happier and think he was priced very competitively. My partner and I had previously had engagement photos done with another vendor and their quality was not even comparable to Jason’s. Because of Jason’s photo journalistic nature and our desire to avoid a lot of staged poses Jason built a beautiful story of us and our engagement and wedding day. His photos are striking, surprising, and beautiful. He captured heartfelt moments that I did not see during our wedding, too. Our friends and family are in love with the photos that we have shared with them and we are so honored to have had Jason capture our wedding day. I cannot wait to look at these photos for years to come and relive our wedding day!

Nelena and Dom took photos at my rustic/modern wedding at cider mill in Princeton, Illinois. Once the four of us met, my husband and I loved how easy it was to speak to Nelena and Dom and how they immediately understood where we were coming from. As introverts we wanted a photographer with a larger-than-life personality, someone who would find candid moments on our day and Andreoni Photography really brought the fun. I can’t stress enough how truly wonderful our experience was. The two of them worked so well together. They brought so much excitement and fun when capturing photos of our wedding party. Nelena and Dom were always so responsive to my many questions and concerns I had. I could expect a response from either of them within 24 hours and usually much quicker than that. The first time my now-husband and I saw the photos, we melted! We had a date night and snuggled up on the couch, and loaded the photos onto our big screen. It truly felt like we were back on our special day. We loved the unique poses and fun and intimate moments Andreoni photography captured.

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.

Super personable, makes you feel comfortable and confident. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND. I recommend her for EVERYTHING and to anyone! 100/10

Our wedding at Wave Hill, Bronx, was a total dream, and a massive shoutout goes to Daria for capturing all the magic of our day. Daria's style is like a blend of real-life moments and fashion flair, and our wedding photos could've easily graced any bridal magazine. She or her assistant - Connor, were like flies on the wall! I was impressed that they were always nearby, but blending perfectly with the guests! She was always super professional, always on time, and kept us calm amidst all the wedding chaos. (And we had a very chaotic day, from missing a cake for a cake cut to me (bride) breaking a heel on my shoes) She's got this incredible eye for capturing raw emotions and tiny details that would've otherwise gone unnoticed. Looking at our photos, it's like we're reliving the entire day. During the portrait sessions, Daria worked her magic, giving us tips that made us look and feel like Hollywood stars. We seriously felt like celebrities, and our friends and family can't stop gushing about how amazing we looked. In a nutshell, if you want wedding photos that are fancy yet down-to-earth, Daria from Fall Marigold Photography is the one. She turned our wedding memories into pure magic.

These prompts will help you feel comfortable and also help create candid images. Check out my website for more info :)

We hadn't worked with a professional photographer before, so we leaned on him to share many ideas to ensure we'd like the photos that are now on our wall :) Jeremy recommended poses, places, and who should be in what shot. We have big families, so it was wonderful to have a guide and confidence we'd get all the photos we needed and some fun ones we never would have thought to ask for. He's very easygoing and funny. We'll definitely be working with Jeremy again.

At Charby & Co, we believed your love story is too important to not be captured how it feels. While we prefer to be sharing your stories, here's a little bit about us as your husband and wife photo+video duo! Jasmine is a California born and bred photographer with over 7 years of experience shooting weddings. While on lockdown in March of 2020, she met a photojournalist from Minnesota named Jacob. After years of watching Jasmine in the business, Jacob joined as a wedding videographer to put his experience as a storyteller to work. We now travel as a couple to capture love across the states, no travel fees wherever your wedding is.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jasmine and Jacob were a DREAM to work with the day of our wedding. We told them what our vision was and they above and beyond delivered. My husband and I are both very awkward people who hate having our pictures taken/posing, and we did not feel posed for a single moment. It felt like they weren’t even there. The products themselves are unbelievable. Our vision was brought to life exactly, better than we had hoped, and we have not stopped getting compliments on the photos. I’d like to add - Jasmine also did our engagement photos, and a boudoir photo shoot (for me) on top of the wedding and she delivers every. Single. Time. I genuinely could not recommend these two enough!

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!

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
Bonne was our photographer for our wedding in April 2022, and we are SO HAPPY we found her. We considered photographers that had a second shooter, but honestly didn’t feel like we missed out at all as Bonnie did such a great job. Bonnie is so nice and has a way to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. We did an engagement shoot which was a great way to know Bonnie and get some beautiful pictures for our invitations. We lived out of state at the time and Bonnie was super flexible to accommodate our schedule when we were visiting and recommended a great location. On our wedding day, Bonnie was very professional and organized which kept us on schedule while also making sure we weren’t worried about timing or about missing out on photos. We really wanted to be at our cocktail hour and she made it happen! But what really stands out is Bonnie’s eye for picking out great locations and capturing photos in the moment. The portrait shots were well framed and the candid photos really captured the emotions of the day. We snuck away with Bonnie to take some golden hour photos and they turned out so well! Bonnie had scoped out locations around our venue the day before which allowed for us to quickly sneak away to an awesome local. She is so talented! We love our photos and would recommend her to anyone!

I resonate with intimate, honest weddings, ones that present as unique and authentic, ones with tradition but they threw that tradition out the door and made their day an authentic representation of their marriage. As an artist, I am able to document weddings while incorporating my own artistic visions and yours. I love natural light, nature, and intimate moments. It is important to me for you to trust me as photography is a collaboration.

Megan is amazing. She is a true artist. I have worked with her in various spaces, one in particular that a lot of photographers struggle with because of the lighting, and Megan came back with some of the best, most beautiful, moodiest (chef's kiss) photos I have seen.

I'm Pittsburgh based but most of my work is destination, so weather you're getting married in your parent's backyard or a chateau in France: I'd love to make photos for you that help you savor this day for a lifetime!

Nellie is my dream-come-true wedding photographer. When I saw her work online – especially her focus on film and Super 8 video – I knew I had to work with her. When the day came and she basically ran the show, managed a huge crowd, and got incredible photos out of it, I was incredibly impressed. And when Nellie hand-delivered our wedding album to our home, I was touched beyond words. I can't recommend her highly enough. From start to finish, she's an A choice through and through.

I love photographing weddings. Between my second photographer and myself, we have photographed over 2,000 weddings. You can rest assured that your wedding images will be amazing and you will treasure them for a lifetime.

I've known Ian for over 16 years in the wedding photography industry. Not only is he an exceptional, skilled, and seasoned photographer, but he's also been a great mentor and friend. As a fellow professional photographer, I've worked side by side with Ian, shooting several weddings over the past several years. If I have a question about a new camera gadget, lens, or lighting equipment or need advice with my own wedding photography business, Ian is on speed dial. I chose Ian to photograph my wedding in Southern California. Right from our initial consultation, Ian impressed me with his professionalism and passion for his craft. He took the time to listen to my vision for the day and offered valuable insights and suggestions to ensure that every moment would be captured beautifully. Ian and his team were super easy to work with on my wedding day. They were punctual and organized, making everyone feel at ease in front of the camera. Their friendly demeanor and calming presence helped alleviate pre-wedding jitters, allowing Julie and I to relax and enjoy every moment. His incredible talent and experience behind the lens sets Ian's Photography apart. He has a unique ability to capture the emotion and essence of each moment, resulting in stunning photographs that we will treasure for a lifetime. Whether the tender moments shared during the ceremony or the spontaneous laughter on the dance floor, Ian and his team captured it all with artistry and precision. In addition to his exceptional skill as a photographer, Ian also went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was perfect. They were proactive in scouting out the best locations for photos, and their attention to detail in composing each shot was truly remarkable. Let's face it, unless you're a professional model, posing in front of the camera could seem daunting. Ian gave us perfect directions before each shot was taken. We didn't have to think about looking awkward in front of the camera. Ian was there to guide us every step of the way. When we received our wedding photos, we were blown away (as expected) Each image was a work of art, telling the story of our special day in the most beautiful way possible. Our friends and family have been raving about the photos ever since, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Overall, I cannot recommend Ian Borgerhoff Photography highly enough. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who is not only talented but also passionate, professional, and genuinely invested in making your day unforgettable, look no further than Ian and his team. You won't be disappointed.

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.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I don't even know where to begin with Zachera. She is a truly special human being, and it was an absolute honor to have her documenting our most intimate and special moments during our wedding day (and engagement shoot). If you go to her website, it'll tell you what you need to know about her and her work, but what it doesn't do is detail exactly how amazing she is and how amazing she'll make you feel. Before we officially booked Zachera, she set up a FaceTime meeting with us (we're in different states) and wanted to know our story so that she could ensure that we were the right fit for each other - an important step to making sure your day is going to be smooth and capture what you're envisioning! After we booked her she was nothing but exceedingly kind, helpful, and accommodating. I can't say enough how wonderful it was having her there on our wedding day. She really enhanced our entire experience, and I can't imagine our day without her help and guidance and kindness. I am a self-conscious person who worries often what I'm going to look like in pictures, and that's not something you want to think about on your wedding day. Zachera helped make me feel like the most beautiful bride, with genuine sincerity. Outside of Zachera being a great human, her work is absolutely stunning. It speaks for itself- you just need to look at her samples and you'll know. It makes you feel things. I don't know anything about photography but I do know that looking at her work conveys actual thoughts and feelings and not just images. Please consider sharing your day with someone like Zachera, and rest easy knowing that your memories will be lovingly preserved.

Hello there! My name is Alana. I am a wedding photographer based in the Chicagoland area who ranges from lovely backyard weddings in the suburbs, to swanky celebrations in the city, to flying off to stunning elopements around the world. Weddings with me include tons of laughter, lots of support in planning and organizing, and photos so vivid that your memories jump out of the frame. (It may also include us both happy crying together on the big day) I make the whole process as easy and fun as possible, and would be absolutely honored to take on the role of turning your memories into artwork!

While the quality of Alana's work speaks for itself, from a venue perspective, she was a delight to work with. She delivers class with kindness, helping us show off our space by sharing her photos with us to use on our website and social media. We would be delighted to see her hired for many more weddings at River Room!

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. If you are looking for a quality photographer, look no further. Kat Beatty is the way to go!

Hey there! I'm Arianna. I started Rare Raven Studio (previously McCormick Design and Photography) back around 2013. I had grown up around cameras and always loved whatever I could get my hands on. Film, digital, video, you name it. It wasn't until I had my daughter that I really started taking anything seriously though. All of the sudden, I had a reason to stay consistent in my documentation. The rest is pretty much history. A few of my favorite things: Darth Vader, the Space Jam soundtrack, traveling, DC comics, Mac & Cheese, chicken marsala, more cheese, serial killer and mythology podcasts, and allll the doggos!

Awarded Best of Zola
I found Arianna via Zola. I took a shot messaging an unknown person, and it was one of the best decisions I made for my big day. Her work is beautiful and unforgettable. She’s great to work with, cares about the couple and their needs, and is creative with the venues and couples. We opted for the option for our engagement photos and the Photo Booth. Our guests loved it. Who needs favors, do the Photo Booth instead! Highly recommend her!
