Chantal Pryor Photography 

5.0

Evanston, IL
  • Editorial style

Hey all. I'm Chantal, a natural light photographer based out of Chicago, Illinois. Of course I love traveling domestically and internationally. If I could, I would travel every 3 weeks, haha. I’m a working mom of 2 under 2. Lover of The Golden Girls and a good cup of hot chocolate!

Booking Chantal was the best decision I made. She made my husband and I feel so relaxed during both our engagement shoot and wedding. She was just as laid back as we were, but still got things done on time and professionally. Our engagement shoot she helped my husband relax since he was so nervous (not a big photoshoot guy). And during our wedding Chantal and her second shooter Erika made myself and my wedding party and guests feel at ease. I owe them both so much for going ABOVE AND BEYOND on my wedding day. My day of coordinator had really dropped the ball and I was so stressed out, but then I went back into the bridal suite and Chantal and Erika were having a dance party to cheer me up! They really saved the day and were so good about pivoting and adapting to our rain plan. The best part was - I didn't feel like I took pictures ALL day. I felt like I had a balance and was able to talk with my guests and enjoy my day! But I still had the BEST sneak peak photos and am obsessed. I cannot wait to see my full gallery soon and I know it will be incredible. 5 Stars all around, can't wait to work with Chantal again in the future :)

Hi, I’m Connie—congratulations on your engagement. 🍾✨ Thank you for being here and for considering me as your photographer. I take a thoughtful, hands-on approach and believe the experience matters just as much as the final images. I’m involved well before the wedding day—collaborating on vision, timelines, and details to ensure everything feels intentional and effortless. I love curated Pinterest boards, open communication, and creating imagery that feels elevated, timeless, and personal. This is your day, and it should reflect you. Let’s talk!

Awarded Best of Zola
All I can say is Connie is hands down so much more than a photographer. She was so patient, kind, and positive when we had our elopement. We got down pour rain and she was quick to have plans to take us to get beautiful pictures. She was so thoughtful with doing things she didn’t have to do, like helping hold my wet dress, and so much more. Connie is extremely calming presence in a stressful and hectic day. We absolutely loved our pictures and all the special moments she captured without us realizing and was truly so special working with her!

Jennifer and her team were astonishing! I did a boudoir session as a bridal gift to my husband, it was such a breeze and I felt so comfortable, although I was quite nervous, she made me feel like I was a pro! Our wedding day was behind schedule all day and with a bridal party of 21 it was a chore keeping everyone on point. They not only kept us going but also checked off all the must have shots for us. Everyone was so professional and kind, we had an absolute fantastic time! I would 10/10 recommend! We budgeted for a good photographer and I am so grateful we did they were amazing to work with!

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
We’ve known Kaitlyn for a while and were so honored to have her capture our wedding events! She was there for the proposal, engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner, and the wedding day! Kaitlyn is so fun to be around and so incredibly talented! We really appreciated her “fly on the wall” approach so we could just enjoy ourselves and live in the moment without having to worry about posing. Looking forward to having her capture many more of our milestones in the future :)

Chicago-based wedding and elopement photographer. I like to make my clients take off their shoes or at least get bare and honest about their love in front of my camera. I love to explore the urban environment with you and make your wedding portraits feel real and true to your life in the city. But I also take any chance I get to drag you to the woods or the beach for some barefoot wedding portraits. Aren’t we so lucky to have those right here in the city!

Hi and thanks for viewing my page. My name is Ruben and I have been a photographer for a long time. I started this journey when I was 17 years old. Back in the film years as we like to call it. I’ve worked and still work for major studios in Chicago that contract my services and do many wedding under my own label. Please contact me for more information.

Ruben hands down was amazing for our wedding day. Not only did he do his job, but he went above and beyond to actually help unpack all of our decor from the u-haul van. Our pictures are gorgeous and Ruben was phenomenal working with me and setting up calls to make sure we had all of the shots we wanted. To top everything off, our pictures were ready 3 days after our wedding. Couldn’t have asked for a better person and especially for the price.

Nicole Defilippis is an experienced lifestyle wedding and family photographer. She’s lived her whole life in and around the Chicago area and can easily suggest photo shoot locations ranging from elegant rooftops, the perfect skyline shot, the diviest of dive bars and most artfully-graffitied walls.

Nicole was absolutely wonderful to work with and was my favorite vendor from our wedding. I had specific visions for photos I wanted, in both our engagement shoot and wedding photos, and she made all of them come to life. She helped us pose and made us love the way we looked in pictures, as she does with people of all shapes and sizes. We got so many compliments on our photos — particularly from other professional photographers we know. She communicates clearly and had an effective method for documenting our timeline and shot list. She was determined to get through all of the requested photos, despite our tight timeline. Lastly, she really got along with my husband and made him feel so comfortable in front of the camera.

We approach weddings as a full creative production, not just a shoot. Every project starts with intentional pre-planning: wardrobe review, hair/makeup alignment, storyboarding, and timeline collaboration. Giving structure without ever feeling staged. Our team seamlessly handles photo, video, drone coverage, and content creation to capture authentic moments efficiently and deliver cohesive, thoughtfully crafted media.

Awarded Best of Zola
I came in for a color consultation with Nick and the Ageless Media team while I was still early in planning, and it honestly helped so much. Having my colors broken down made choosing my wedding dress feel clear instead of overwhelming, and it also helped us dial in the groom’s suit and the overall palette for the day. It gave me confidence in the choices we were making and made everything feel more cohesive. Such a thoughtful part of the process.

I picked up my first 35mm camera in High School and I don’t think I’ve put one down since. I knew I had something special when I could make people feel comfortable in front of the camera within ten minutes of meeting me. I truly believe that each one of us comes into this world with a purpose, and I know that mine is to document life & love through my lens.

We couldn’t be more thrilled with our experience working with Alisha for our wedding in Chicago. From our first conversation, Alisha was warm, attentive, and truly understood our vision. On the big day, she completely executed—capturing every moment with such intention and a fantastic eye for detail. The photos are beyond anything we could have hoped for—timeless, emotional, and artful in a way that feels uniquely us. She made us feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera, and seamlessly blended into the flow of the day. We feel so lucky to have had her document our wedding—she gave us memories we’ll treasure forever

Studio This Is

  • Serves Evanston, IL

We are a close-knit family of photographers, filmmakers, and designers with a kindred passion for storytelling. Our vision for a collective studio was dreamed up to answer the problem of frustrated brides and grooms waiting ages to see their photos or just get an email back and the problem of artists burned out on business-running because it’s impossible to do it all.

Chad, Sabrina, and the whole team at Studio This Is are nothing short of OUTSTANDING to work with! We have been completely obsessed with them, from the planning process to our engagement shoot to the wedding day to the photos themselves. Chad took the time to listen to our vision and bring it to life even more beautifully than we ever could have imagined. He was also incredibly organized and communicative, which meant a lot to someone as type A as me. :) The whole crew on the day of our wedding was extremely professional and kind, with a meticulous eye for details. And the photos - we are absolutely speechless! I could not recommend Studio This Is more!

Hi, I’m Nicole, the eye and heart behind Valeo Photography. I believe photography is more than just taking pretty pictures. It’s about presence. It’s about catching those little moments between the big ones: the exhale before you walk down the aisle, the squeeze of your mother’s hand, the way your person looks at you when you’re not even watching. I’ve spent over a decade photographing weddings across Canada, Africa, the U.S., and beyond. I’m especially drawn to multicultural , inclusive and culturally rich celebrations. If you're looking for photography that’s real, elegant, soulful, and rooted in story—you're in the right place.

Valeo Photography exceeded our expectations with their exceptional coverage of our Chicago wedding, capturing the city's beauty and our love story with stunning detail and creativity. Their professionalism and attention to detail resulted in breathtaking photos that we'll treasure forever, truly making our special day unforgettable.

Hi! We are Mark and Ligia Chiu- a Chicago based photography/videography husband/wife team. I started Ligia Chiu Photography about 10 years ago when I was searching for a creative outlet during my very science courses of pharmacy school. What started as a simple hobby capturing moments for my close friends, soon blossomed into something more profound and my passion for photography has grown steadily over the years.

We knew the moment we got engaged that we wanted Ligia Chiu to be our wedding photographer! She took the time to understand our vision for the wedding, scouted out potential locations beforehand, and guided us every step of the way. Right away, Ligia surprised us by asking for a list of "must-have" photos. She was all about capturing our moments. On the day itself, she had this incredible ability to make everyone feel comfortable and relaxed. When we received the photos, it was like reliving the entire day, but with the added bonus of Ligia's artistic eye. She has a true talent for capturing the essence of the day and the personalities of everyone involved. We HIGHLY recommend Ligia Chiu to anyone looking for an exceptional wedding photographer!

Hello there! I'm Jennifer, your new photographer, sounding board and enthusiastic supporter. Capturing your love through my lens and telling your story through beautiful imagery is what I do. Our style can be best described as classic sophistication with a modern edge - We document your wedding day elegantly through emotive and enduring images.

I worked with Jennifer on a styled photo shoot and I was the floral designer. She did an amazing job capturing my designs and capturing the entire shoot. There were multiple photographers, many of whom never even sent me photos. Jennifer promptly sent me her entire gallery and she took more photos than any of the other photographers and they were all high quality images I have been able to use for my social media and to share my portfolio. I would highly recommend her she is a very talented photographer.

My style is a reflection of what inspires me, the subtle glance of one love to another, delicate light filtering through the trees, or the vast landscape open to exploration. My work embodies a candid approach to the traditional standard and my inspiration stems from genuine human connection. Your wedding is a beautiful combination of so many moving parts and it’s my true calling to capture the magic as it unfolds.

She had a vision of how to get the best possible pictures, and did a wonderful job bringing out the best in everyone. I'd recommend Megan's work wholeheartedly for anyone and everyone getting married in the Chicago area.
