Jana Blue Photography (Photo + Film) 
Rating: 5.0 (13 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Elk Grove Village, IL

My name is Jana Blue and I've been photographing weddings for 12 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.

Everything feels natural, and the results are nothing short of breathtaking. Honestly, I could write a book about it, but this is something you have to experience for yourself. One thing’s certain: she will absolutely blow your mind.”

Original Weddings Photo & Video is a team of EMMY award winning storytellers. Our photography and videography packages are tailored to you, customizable and perfect for every wedding. We offer engagement photography, wedding photos, highlight films, wedding coverage and more.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Our wedding was filled with whimsy and charm - Original Weddings was able to capture that energy in video and film, so we can revisit that experience for a lifetime. Thank you for your attention to detail and level of care - we are overjoyed with the results! EXPERIENCE - We interviewed a few photography companies to compare prices, offerings, and aesthetic appeal; we ultimately decided on OW because they offered the best rates for videography and photography packages. From the beginning, the customer experience was favorable with multiple opportunities for touchpoints and planning. Their pricing is transparent and straight-forward; the add-ons will be tempting, and it will cost you. However, we appreciated that our interactions with the office staff weren't sales driven; they shared the options for add-ons without it being pushy. All communication and planning details are handled through a personalized portal and its the easiest way to ask questions and relay changes to the photography team. If you are someone that is not particularly organized, you'll love this feature and the imbedded questionnaires. They'll serve as a guide to crafting the look, identifying highlights to be captured, and a space for notes to the team working with you on the day of. During the wedding day, everything went smoothly and everyone was professional and personable. Their presence didn't feel intrusive and they expertly worked around our timeline to maximize efficiency. RESULTS - Our gallery was a fantastic mix of curated moments and candid memories. Each cluster of photos creates a timestamp throughout the day and it was a welcome reminder of all the small details of the wedding that can be easily missed among the shuffle of it all. In our package we stuck with 8 hours of photography and videography; electing afterwards to request the raw footage for an additional charge. I believe the quality of the photos and videos is phenomenal for the price - something similar may be double the price, especially if you're looking for more aesthetic/Instagramish vibe - we went traditional and it exceeded our expectations. SHOUTOUTS - I have to give special kudos to the team that worked directly with us. For planning and logistics, Sarah and Gabriella were attentive and quick to respond to questions. Sarah was very sweet and made our wedding feel like a priority and not just one of many they're juggling. I appreciate her collaboration on capturing the specifics to ensure even the smallest details were relayed to the team; and the results speak for themselves. The true heroes of the day were Pricilla, Sanaa, and Collin; they were the team tasked with documenting the magic of the day in a fashion that captured our essence as a couple. They quickly became a highlight of the experience - we hit it off immediately and their energy was uplifting and reassuring. We are eternally grateful for their patience with our families and the lighthearted approach they took to dealing with grumpier relatives. Overall, it was a beautiful day, and we are overjoyed to have been paired with this team because they did a phenomenal job.”

A cinematic eye. --- A bleeding heart. --- An inclusive spirit. --- I've picked up a camera just about every day since I fell in love with photography in 2013. Though every shoot holds something unique, it takes a lot to catch me off guard after a decade in business. I pride myself on my ability to quickly connect with my clients, making them feel comfortable, cared for, and confident that they look great. Being a helpful and calming presence in the midst of your wedding is second nature to me. Basically, I try to treat people how I want to be treated: with fairness and understanding!

“Zach did a wonderful job at our wedding this past summer at the Garfield Park Conservatory! Zach captured so many candid, tender moments throughout the whole night. He was able to wrangle 30 people for a large family photo with ease. The photos so perfectly show all the love and joy in the room that night. Great photos, great dude!”

Hi, I'm Ashley! A Chicago wedding photographer with a love for capturing fun-loving and adventurous couples. From the I do’s to the epic dance moves, it’s my passion to capture authentic and candid moments created and inspired by one-of-a-kind couples! My process is simple. Document your day and create a vision with you: together we’ll create a seamless day that doesn’t feel like a posed photo shoot. I am LGBTQ+ friendly and support inclusivity and diversity.

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

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

“We 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!”

My name is Kate Scott Daly, and I can't wait to meet you! I'm a Chicago native and have been a professional photographer for nearly a decade. I am obsessed with capturing the perfect moment that will make you gasp and say "Oh my god, this is amazing!" Being a queer woman, it is so important to me that you feel safe, loved, and beautiful every step of the way. If you're looking for someone you can relax with and just be yourself, you've found me! Let's face it: it can be awkward being in front of a camera. Even I feel nervous sometimes! I understand that anxiety and will do everything I can to make you feel fabulous!

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

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

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

“Having Kaitlyn as our photographer for our wedding was nothing short of a dream. From the moment we had our first call with her, I knew we were going to be so happy in choosing her. Firstly, her personality is so kind, caring, and matched so well with the vibe we wanted for our day - fun, full of joy, and easygoing. During the calls leading up to the day, she carefully gathered special details about us, what we wanted, and used those to capture the best moments from our wedding day. She was a joy to work with from start to finish. Now, the photos - we were amazed with the photo gallery Kaitlyn delivered (not to mention we got our preview the next day, and our full gallery a short time after; we really appreciated that!) the quality of the photos, and the candid moments she captured were so special to us. There are so many moments she captured where I did not even realize she was there, behind the scenes, getting the best moments of our love, and that is a true testament to her talent. Kaitlyn is so extremely talented, and we could not recommend her enough to anyone looking for a photographer for their event. She is exceptional at what she does, and she is a special person on top of that. And a special shoutout to her husband, Jake, who was her second photographer for our wedding. They worked seamlessly to deliver our dream wedding photos, and we are so happy. We get to relive our wedding day over and over with these pictures, and that is priceless.”

We are SO grateful we reached out to Jayde back in 2022 for our engagement shoot and immediately knew we needed to hire her for our April 2024 wedding. From the very beginning, Jayde was super professional, patient, and on top of it, not to mention SO friendly and warm. She made me and my husband feel so special and comfortable in front of her camera, and our entire bridal party loved her too. She created a seamless timeline for the day that worked so well and she made sure we were on time all day. The photos truly speak for themselves. She has an amazing eye and we are obsessed with her editing style. She surprised us with over 100 (!!!) previews the next morning and they were INCREDIBLE - we were blown away and shocked that she could turn them around that quickly. We are so so so excited to see our full gallery soon. Don't hesitate to book Jayde - she's truly a gem in the Chicago wedding industry. We can't wait to find another reason to book her!”

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

My approach to wedding days is simple: I want to make sure you have images of you two that you love and cherish and tell your wedding day story.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Tawny was an absolute joy to work with and an incredible photographer. From start to finish, she was timely, professional, and incredibly thoughtful. On our wedding day, she gently helped keep us on track with our timeline while also offering flexible, creative alternatives whenever scheduling needed to shift. Something we appreciated more than we can say. She truly listened to our personal requests and made sure every photo we mentioned was captured, which made the experience feel very intentional and personal. Tawny’s photography style is exactly what you see in her portfolio: timeless, beautiful, and full of emotion. The photos we received are lifelong keepsakes we will treasure forever. As a queer couple, it was incredibly important to us to work with someone who was LGBTQ friendly, affirming, and made us feel completely comfortable being ourselves. Tawny created a welcoming, inclusive environment from the very beginning, and being local to Chicago was an added bonus that made coordination seamless. We were married in October 2025, and choosing Tawny was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I genuinely hope to work with her again in the future for other photography needs and would recommend her wholeheartedly to any couple.”
