  • Serves Fox River Grove, IL



I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

Sean gave us an incredible experience with stunning results. He was punctual, professional, and gave very clear instructions for his shoots. He also was very excited to be a part of the process and involved in our special day. When it came time for the ceremony and reception, he was sure to stay out of the spotlight and took incredible pictures without us having to remember that he was there. 10/10 experience and 10/10 quality on the final photo results. We would highly recommend him for any event you may have coming up!

Eivan's made our wedding day wonderful! Alexander Schmidt was our photographer, and our videographer was Noah. We got our pictures back sooner than expected, and they suited the exact style we had hoped for. Communication was great, photos were easy to access, and we were allowed free download for so many pictures! One family portrait had one person not looking, otherwise people were smiling and looking in everything. Many people commented on their professionalism as well as their kindness at the wedding.

I have been mindfully crafting my approach to serving like minded couples for quite some time now. I'm an easy going soul, who loves to capture happiness and joy in genuine ways. I'm a gentle guide towards ideal photographs for most folks who find being in front of the camera stressful. I'm always eager to listen carefully to my clients when they share about themselves so I can anticipate their needs.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Ez was so incredibly easy. Not only were they incredibly easy to work with and captured incredible photos, they also were so incredibly helpful and supportive the entire day. Working a hot summer wedding in July is not always the most fun but Ez was constantly making sure I was hydrated, had food and was assisting with all photo needs that were necessary. As a vendor, Ez is someone I would work with again and again. Highly recommend!!

Nichole Babiez Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Fox River Grove, IL

I am a midwesterner, born and raised in the burbs north of Chicago who strives to capture moments that are gone in a second, impossible to reproduce, but with the help of an artist touch, can last a lifetime. I'm here to connect with you, listen to you, create with you, and provide a stress-free, comfortable atmosphere from start to finish. 3 things about myself, I have 3 dogs (yes, its crazy LOL), I am in loveee with Target, and coffee and mango froyo are my love languages.

From the moment I came across Nichole’s work, I knew she was the one I wanted to capture our engagement & wedding photos and she exceeded every expectation. Even though she was already booked for our wedding date, I was lucky enough to book through her associate package, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Nichole brought our vision to life during our engagement shoot, perfectly capturing both the moody vibes at the bar where we met and the classic Chicago lakefront shots. She made the entire process feel so personal and fun, despite us typically being horrendously awkward in front of a camera. On the big day, we had Kyle and Alexi as our photographers, and it truly felt like we had two extra friends with us. They were relaxed, kind, incredibly professional, and knew how to roll with whatever came their way. Our photos are stunning and truly reflect the joy, emotion, and beauty of our day. And as if all that wasn’t enough, Nichole surprised us by showing up toward the end of our reception! She is the ultimate hype woman and such a genuinely thoughtful person. If you're looking for a photographer who not only delivers incredible photos but also genuinely cares about you, your story, and your vision —Nichole is your gal. Cannot recommend her and her team enough!

  • Serves Fox River Grove, IL

I believe you can't stand behind your business unless you can say you fully understand it – and 24 years of marriage is proof that I KNOW LOVE. I set out to capture the essence of love when I started Parker Photography in 2018. I have been married to my best friend for the last 24 years, and people who meet us swear we are newlyweds. We still act like lovestruck teenagers with each other, that same feeling we get from every newly engaged couple that we meet. We know where our couples are coming from and what they hope to capture in their engagement sessions and on their wedding day, and we make it effortless for them to achieve their goals.

Hey! Aaron and Becka here! We are wedding photographers based in the North Suburbs of Chicago. We have three kids; Judah (4), Jane (2), and Dan (6 months). Being parents is one of the sweetest gifts we have ever been given! When we aren't doing photography or ministry, we are either going for hikes as a family, playing music together, working on updating our 200 year old house, or hanging out with friends! We both love the shooting side of photography, but when it comes to the admin and post-creative, that's where Becka takes over! So, if you reach out, she will be the one chatting with ya!

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Becka was the best decision we could have made for our wedding! She took care of every detail and was so easy to work with. The way she made us feel so at peace throughout the process of wedding planning was so unique and special. During pictures, she made the experience so personal and fun we barely felt like we were posing. Our pictures turned out better than we ever could have expected! She is so talented! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer and already have to so many people!

Not only do I have a great eye for the art, but whatever the task is at hand I am able to execute it… it’s my passion. Family and friends whom I have photographed in events say this is my “calling.” I love using natural light when possible and do not over process my pictures; natural is beautiful. I would love the opportunity to share your engagement and wedding day through my lenses. I bring a touch of photo journalism and an intimate approach to my clients that shines in my work. For weddings, I instinctively capture the event through the couple’s eyes. I shoot their story in a natural way.

Working with Esme Photography as a vendor partner has been consistently excellent—they exceed expectations on every level. Their communication is prompt and stress-free, making collaboration seamless whether we're coordinating timelines or discussing event details. During portrait sessions, Esme's team gently guides couples and wedding parties with such calm professionalism that everyone stays relaxed and present, which genuinely makes a difference in the final images. What truly sets them apart is their eye for detail; they capture both the sweeping atmosphere and the subtle moments that make a day meaningful, showcasing every element in its best light. Esme and her team are always punctual and organized, reducing stress for everyone involved. I'd recommend them without hesitation to any couple looking for photographers who care as much about the experience as they do the final product.

  • Serves Fox River Grove, IL

My photography style is timeless, natural, light, and effortlessly real. My goal has always been to capture moments as they genuinely unfold — not forced or overly posed, but full of emotion and authenticity. From the very beginning of my wedding photography journey, I set out to tell honest love stories — the quiet glances, the joyful tears, the belly laughs, and all the in-between magic. The more experience I gain, the deeper my passion grows. Every wedding reminds me why I love what I do.

Lavita Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very first interaction, their communication was efficient, kind, and dependable. They have a truly unique style that captured all the special moments of our big day. The quality of their work was amazing - they were so appreciative and passionate about getting the perfect shots. Lavita Photography was worth every penny, and I'm so glad we chose them. Lavita ensured I got all the shots I needed, and was very detailed, even arriving early to prepare. As someone who worries a lot about trust for such an important occasion, I knew Lavita would be the best choice after they shot us in their studio for our wedding invitations. They work with all body types and made me feel and look beautiful. I even got some of the photos framed, they turned out so well!

Warm, and emotive portraits showcasing authenticity is my first priority. I'm here not only to capture your precious moments but to be right by your side through such large life events. I'm based in Lake County, Illinois, and yes I love to travel! If you want me to photograph your story, it will require a travel fee, depending on where it takes place. But no worries, I always try to find the cheapest way to come.

Kailee Rei Photography was an exceptional choice for our wedding photographer. Kailee was prompt, kind, and calm in all of our communications leading up to the big day, putting us at ease through the planning process. On the wedding day itself, she impressed even my husband, who doesn't normally like having his photo taken. Kailee gave clear direction for portraits and efficiently wrangled our large groups for family photos, helping keep the day running smoothly. The quality of Kailee's work is simply amazing - we've received so many compliments on our wedding photos, which perfectly captured the joy and special moments of our celebration. We felt the exceptional images we received were well worth the value. I would highly recommend Kailee Rei Photography to any couple looking for a talented, professional wedding photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I couldn’t be happier with the incredible service we received from George Street Photo & Video. From the very first phone call, their team made us feel supported and confident. As a first-time client booking photography and videography, I had a lot of questions—and the representative was not only patient and professional but genuinely enthusiastic about helping us understand every detail. We chose the 8-hour package with both a photographer and videographer, and it was worth every moment. As our wedding day approached, George Street stayed in touch, offering thoughtful reminders and tips to help us make the most of our photo and video sessions. Their planning website was a game-changer—it allowed us to map out the timeline, locations, and key people for each shot, ensuring everything ran smoothly. One of the best parts was getting to choose our photographer, Paola. She was an absolute gem—warm, attentive, and effortlessly engaging with our guests. Her ability to speak Spanish was a huge plus, allowing her to connect with our family in a way that made everyone feel included and comfortable. Even now, our loved ones still talk about how wonderful she was. While we didn’t get to choose our videographer, Ryan turned out to be a quiet genius. Though more reserved, he had an incredible eye for capturing the most meaningful moments. His work speaks volumes, and we’re so grateful for the beautiful footage he created. The package also included a stunning 50-page printed photo book and full access to download all our photos and video. Both Paola and Ryan arrived on time and reached out beforehand to confirm our preferences, which gave us peace of mind and made us feel truly cared for. Sharing our wedding memories with family and friends has been such a joy, and we owe that to the talent and dedication of the George Street team. They didn’t just document our day—they helped us relive it, beautifully.

Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography and DJ. I had first reached out to Darcy before I had even booked a venue - I just loved the editing style of the photos. Our lead Denida and and second shooter Will were friendly, communicative, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire wedding day. They kept us on schedule, if not ahead of it, and Denida even showed us some incredible photos as she was taking them. Will captured great shots of the groom and groomsmen, and also provided excellent second angles. I am so thankful we got to work with them. We also bundled our photography with the DJ, who was also wonderful - DJ Floyd kept the energy up all night, mixed the music perfectly, and checked in to make sure everything was going well. With OLAS, we were able to capture so many great memories and beautiful photos that we'll cherish forever.
