We could not have asked for a better photography and videography team for our wedding reception! Bayo was truly a mind reader — constantly in the right place at the right time and somehow captured every special moment without ever feeling staged or forced. Arlene worked quietly behind the scenes, capturing every emotional, joy-filled detail so naturally that it feels like we’re reliving the night every time we watch our video. Their professionalism, creativity, and teamwork made the entire experience effortless. We’ll cherish these memories forever!

Jana Blue Photography (Photo + Film) 
Rating: 5.0 (13 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Hodgkins, 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.

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
Zach was absolutely amazing to work with! We were quick to book with him after clicking so well at our first meeting. We booked an engagement session separate from the wedding booking and were so glad we did! He provided great direction and conversation, helping two socially awkward folks feel comfortable and look like superstars. He was on time and professional for our wedding day, taking care to make sure we covered our photo list and suggesting a few shots that wound up as some of our favorites. He returned our images exactly on schedule and WOW! We were blown away! The photos exactly capture my memory of the wedding day. We would hire Zach again in a heartbeat!

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 loved working with Samuel for our wedding and engagement shoot! We don’t really love taking photos and are not comfortable in front of the camera, but Samuel was so reassuring and made us feel comfortable. We were surprised at how much fun we had at the engagement shoot, and the photos turned out so beautifully! Samuel has an ability to capture very unique and real shots, they don’t feel posed, they capture natural moments which we loved.   Not only are they beautiful, but he really captured everything about the event, from beginning to end!   And I am not sure how he captured everything because I don't really remember seeing him, it's like he was everywhere, but yet invisible. We are really happy with the way the wedding photos turned out, and so glad we have them as memories of our wonderful event. Also, Samuel is just a fun, cool guy and really great to be around. Definitely hire him!

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!

The pictures are a work of art, but what really blew us away was her professionalism and willingness to help in every situation. She’s more than a photographer. She’s a wedding life saver. She helped out in more ways than I can count and was bubbly and friendly about it.

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.

We had the absolute best experience working with Kaitlyn for our engagement photos, rehearsal dinner, and wedding day. From the very beginning, she made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, which made such a difference in how natural all of our photos turned out. She and her husband Jake, who was our second shooter, were an amazing team. They captured every moment so effortlessly and truly understood the vibe of each event — from the excitement of our engagement session, to the intimate feel of the rehearsal dinner, to the energy and emotion of our wedding day. What I appreciated most was how well she listened to what we wanted while also guiding us with her experience. She made sure to get the specific shots that were important to us, but also captured so many candid moments that we didn’t even realize were happening. Looking through the photos feels like reliving the entire weekend. If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, organized, calm, and genuinely fun to work with, I cannot recommend her enough. We are so grateful to have these memories captured so beautifully.

Audrey went above and beyond for our wedding, and I couldn't ask for a better photographer!! She made us both feel very comfortable in front of the camera, but that started well before the day, by meeting in person to discuss our priorities, joining a venue walkthrough, and creating a timeline for us. We had a mostly DIY friend set up wedding so all her experience and advice was greatly appreciated--I even heard she helped light tea candles when my friends were in a pinch.

A Chicago-based wedding and elopement photographer that values genuine connection, authentic emotions, and getting to know my clients on a deep and personal level. I value capturing your moments and memories exactly how they happen, helping you to remember the feelings of intimacy, love, and warmth of marrying your person. PLEASE GO TO MY WEBSITE TO INQUIRE!

This is guaranteed to be longwinded because there aren't nearly enough words to explain how incredible Jayde is and how magical working with her was so if you're reading this, lock her in now and trust that you won't regret it because you're in amazing hands. For context, I was your quintessential type A bride with a very specific vision for my wedding. Given that, I was especially particular when it came time to pick our wedding photographer but from the moment we connected with Jayde, we knew she was the one. Beyond her professionalism and talent behind the lens, Jayde is kind, genuine, personable, patient, and caring, feeling like more of an old friend than your typical vendor. When we were torn on whether or not to do the first look, Jayde provided a high level of expertise and support, which led to us doing it and literally receiving photos that left us speechless. She also showed the highest level of enthusiasm for and dedication to capturing our day based on the vision described and literal 10 page mood board I created for her the week of our wedding, on top of the fact that she seamlessly captured photos of me and my husband on the skydeck, despite her personal fear of heights. During our initial conversations, I told Jayde that regardless of if I was looking at my photos six months post-wedding or 26 years later, that I wanted to be able to travel back in time and evoke the same emotions that we felt on our special day, and Jayde went way above my expectations, delivering breathtaking memories and stunning photos that we'll forever be grateful for. So all that said, if you're looking for someone who will ensure you're comfortable in front of the camera and will guide you flawlessly through the process of creating magazine worthy images that reflect the love shared between you and your partner, you NEED Jayde and I promise, you will not regret booking with her.

The Chicago Group is a premier wedding photography and videography company dedicated to capturing love stories with authenticity and style. Combining artistic vision with a documentary approach, we create timeless, emotional images and films that reflect the essence of each couple’s special day. With a passion for storytelling, we ensure every moment is beautifully preserved for a lifetime.

What stood out to me most was how approachable and kind the team was. Weddings can be stressful, but they really helped me relax and actually enjoy the process. They joked with the groomsmen, helped me fix my veil at one point, and still somehow managed to stay invisible when it mattered. The photos are beyond gorgeous I actually had a hard time choosing which ones to frame because I loved them all. The video is something we’re planning to show at our one-year anniversary party because it tells the story so beautifully. My husband, who normally hates getting pictures taken, actually said he enjoyed the experience because they made it so fun. That’s saying a lot! They worked well with our other vendors and kept everything on schedule. I’ve already recommended them to two friends who are engaged. Honestly, 10/10 service and results.

She made us feel so comfortable and at ease and gave us such helpful examples and guidance with posing, she is SO, so, so talented!! Our engagement photos truly look like they are out of a dream thanks to her talent, precision and flawless execution—we had friends and family commenting on what a wonderful photographer we have!

I am a Chicago-based wedding + elopement photographer. I am available worldwide and love to travel! I document genuine moments for couples, no matter who they love. My images are the perfect mix of posed and photojournalistic, giving you gorgeous portraits without missing the important, candid moments you will want to remember for years to come. 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.

I’ve worked along side of Tawny for many years now in the bridal industry. Asking Tawny to do my maternity photos was a no brainer. I love her style of photography. She really took my personal style into consideration and created such a custom photoshoot for us. I will forever cherish these photos of my once in a lifetime experience with twins! Thank you Tawny!

I've been doing photography since high school years. After seven years working as photo journalist, I worked for 5 years on cruise line industry in the photography department. It was 2000 when I became a wedding photographer and opened our own photography studio.

From start to finish, H Photography made our wedding day feel effortless. They stayed in constant touch before the big day and listened to exactly what we wanted, then delivered on every single request. During the ceremony and reception, they came up with creative shots we hadn't even thought of, capturing moments that made our day feel truly special. The final photos are stunning and we can't stop looking at them. Best of all, their pricing was fair for the quality we received. We'd recommend H Photography to any couple looking for a photographer who is responsive, skilled, and genuinely invested in telling your love story.

So there’s no “I” in team right?! While Captured Couture is the product of years of hard work that I built from the ground up. I have an amazing team because sometimes takes more than just me. For larger events or on occasions when I am already booked one of my team members will gladly assist with your event. We’ve covered hundreds of weddings together, and have refined our editing style and way of shooting to be completely consistent. You won’t be able to tell the difference. Pinky promise! No matter where you’re planning from when it clicks, it clicks.

My (now) husband and I chose to hire Jennifer from Captured Couture as our photographer for our wedding. We were both blown away by her images posted on her website and Instagram page and after having a phone interview we were convinced she was the one for us. Jennifer was communicative and so easy to work with. We were able to get a free engagement session with the purchase of our package which was awesome because we were able to meet her in person before our actual wedding. The day of the wedding there were a few minor hiccups as our wedding was the same day as the Detroit Pride fest, and we weren’t sure some of our desired locations would be accessible. Without a moment of hesitation Jennifer, who knows the city of Detroit incredibly well, was able to secure a location for our first look and our wedding party photos which turned out to be perfect. Jennifer and her assistant LeAnn captured every part of our wedding with some much care and attention to detail. Our photos are spectacular and we are so thankful for our photography team. Both my husband and I would definitely recommend Captured Couture to anyone looking for wedding photography.

Hey there- my names Kelly! I started my business in fall 2019 and hit the ground running and I have shot over 130 weddings since then. If we're the right fit, I would love to help you plan, sort out your timeline, and be your best friend for the day. I can promise that I will work my butt off for YOU to make sure your day is as special as your love and everything you always dreamed of.

Awarded Best of Zola
Booking Kelly for our wedding was one of the BEST decisions we made!! Words can't describe just how good she is - her eye for finding the great shots, her editing, her ability to herd and organize groomsmen and grandparents to keep things moving along, the list is endless. Not only that, but she is genuinely so nice and makes you feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera. Kelly's work is easily 100% worth the investment and more!!
