Zach Caddy Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (18 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Elk Grove Village, IL

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn't be more grateful for Zach and his work! I had a million things running through my mind on our wedding day, and making sure we captured every moment was a priority. Zach assured us to not even think about photos, that was his job! His energy was calming and grounding! We got to live in our day and see it beautifully captured after. He was communicative, kind, and delivered exactly what we wanted. I highly recommend him and hope to hire him again for more of life's moments.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
She’s simply the best photographer you’ll ever meet, blending creativity with flawless technique. She dives into your story, captures your essence, and brings it to life in every shot. 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.

  • Serves Elk Grove Village, IL

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!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kaitlyn and her husband are just absolutely amazing. My husband and I are not the most used to being photographed, and they completely take the awkwardness out of it. In the moments where it was harder for us to be “candid”, they helped us by giving us prompt type things to follow and it helped so much! Kaitlyn and Jake are both so kind, down to earth, and talented, and were so helpful outside of photography needs throughout the day as well! Jake helped my husband and his groomsmen figure out how to work their cufflinks, and she helped myself, my mother, and my maid of honor button my dress. Kaitlyn did our engagement photos as well, and we already have another appointment booked! We’ll work with her forever if we can.

I absolutely loved working with Audrey for our wedding! I had to write her a review. I found her for her beautiful photos but I'm most happy with my choice in her, for all the rest of the little things. We met with her to discuss engagement shoot and wedding photos and she was so thoughtful. She asked questions I hadn't even thought of and it was from those questions that really helped me plan the rest of the wedding day of. She gave me a photo timeline that was absolutely essential. The rest of my vendors were given her timeline and they were so thankful at her level of detail too. I appreciated the thoughtful small touches. The way she asked about any complicated family dynamics, who our chosen family was, who she should highlight etc. I appreciate that she didn't come with assumptions and asked questions, so gently. I've found that's rare in the bridal world. I would 100% recommend Audrey to anyone we know and absolutely loved our experience with her. We went with a second shooter and we loved Olivia too! They both did fantastic work and were so thoughtful and professional. Thank you for all you did for Mike and I, Audrey! We will always remember you as a the one who kept us all together!

We're based in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood, and I've been shooting weddings since the summer I graduated high school in 2007! I make candid, cinematic images that feel like raw memories, rather than a forced photoshoot. My couples value real emotion, time with their people, and beauty that goes beyond perfect lighting and poses. Queer-owned, proudly LGBTQ+ affirming, and high-key just really fun to have at your wedding!

Lux Everlasting was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. From the moment we first spoke with Clayton, we were impressed by his kind, professional, and truly relatable personality. The quality of his work is truly stellar- it genuinely was worth every single penny for us. The photos and video footage he captured were absolutely beautiful; literally had me gasping at how perfectly our day was documented. My family loved working with Clayton too, they all complimented how much fun he was and how beautiful our photos were, and that they would find an excuse to hire him for something lol. Clayton also eased a lot of my anxiety with his calm presence, he even talked me through a difficult moment which was unexpected and greatly appreciated. We highly recommend Lux Everlasting for any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience. My husband and I absolutely adore Clayton as a professional, and also as the awesome human being that he is, and hope to be able to work with him again in the future. 10/10 experience all around. I wish I could add more than 6 photos!! I picked these to show the range of his work; candid, editing, posed, group shots, ect.

They feel like close friends by the end of the day. I am documentary-style, in that I never stop shooting. While I help with posing during portrait sessions to make sure you look your best, I also love capturing the laughter of guests, the teary-eyed parents, the flower girl running up to you and hugging you at first sight, the tiny details, the real smiles you share with your spouse + the quiet, intimate moments between you two throughout the day.

Emily was outstanding to work with! She was fabulous on our wedding day, with a keen eye for capturing the perfect shots and understanding exactly what we wanted. Her professionalism stood out, and both the sneak peek and the completed photo album were delivered incredibly quickly. We were truly impressed by the quality of the photos—she exceeded our expectations, providing an album that completely blew us away. I still can’t choose a favorite photo! We’re so glad we chose Emily and would say yes to her again in a heartbeat.

PHOTOS YOU CAN FEEL! We believe in the magic of the unscripted—the belly laughs, the happy tears, and every quiet vibration in between. Our documentary-style approach allows your day to unfold naturally. If you’ve been searching for a blend of artistry and authenticity, you’ve found it.

I looked at a LOT of wedding photographers. There are a lot of people out there who do beautiful photos, but none really felt like a fit for us -- either the photo style was moodier/sexier than I thought we could pull off, or the price was too steep for the amount of hours we wanted to have the photographer available, or photos felt too “posed” and cookie-cutter. Then we found Randy. The first thing I noticed about Randy’s portfolio is that people were smiling and laughing. You’d be surprised how few photographers feature photos that look joyful! The second thing I noticed is that photos weren’t all the same; different couples had different looks and styles. I felt like I was learning something about the couple by their photos. When we contacted Randy, we discovered that his work was not only in budget, but that his pricing included a full day of wedding photos – no matter how many hours the day lasted! Our package included engagement photos, wedding photos, a small album, and we added a photobooth for the wedding day. Our engagement session and wedding ended up being two years apart (thanks, COVID) and Randy did an incredible job with both! The engagement shoot gave us a great sense of how Randy works and got us accustomed with posing. What I most appreciated was the fact that Randy caught the moments in between the poses – where my husband and I were laughing with one another or sharing a special moment. For the wedding photos, Randy joined me a little bit before 9 am and was with us until the reception ended at 11 pm! He had a second photographer there during most of that time, as well. I really wanted to capture the joy of finally being able to be together with family and getting to celebrate. After nearly three years of being engaged, I was determined to make the day as stress-free as possible and just enjoy myself. Randy picked up on our joyful, relaxed mood right off the bat and gave us the photos of our dreams! Our photos are bright and colorful (although he picks wonderful photos to do in B&W) and full of laughter, big smiles, and happy tears. Every part of the day is beautifully captured, but we are especially fond of the candid joy in our reception pictures. He got such wonderful shots of our guests that we sent everyone a photo in their thank you cards! If you want wedding photos that feel like you, your partner, and your loved ones, I cannot recommend Randy enough. He is professional, easy to work with, and so talented. We are so grateful to have found him!
