Wheaton, IL
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves Makanda, IL

My name is Jana Blue and I've been photographing weddings for 10 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
Jana is an exceptional photographer and a great entertainer during all our photo sessions. Over the last month, she captured the best day of my life. The way she can convey the joy, happiness, and love we felt in an image is remarkable. She also has a gift for making people feel at ease and letting their personalities shine through. I am so thankful for choosing her, and we will treasure her images for the rest of our lives

Ally was a rockstar from day one. She responded to my Zola inquiry promptly and we set up a phone conference for the same week. The call went smoothly because Ally is such a professional. She went over all the key information, even adding things I didn't even think of. I knew right away that this was not her first rodeo. We planned a second call closer to the date to review the photo order and any shots that I wanted. The day of our wedding, Ally was there ready and waiting. She got moments from our first step out of the car, all the way to my guests getting down on the dance floor. After the wedding, Ally checked in to give us an estimated time for photo turn around, and she delivered in less than two weeks! The photos came out beautifully and we were able to download all of our photos to keep. I can recommend Ally with confidence because she, without a doubt, is the best.

  • Serves Makanda, IL

It's true what they say — when you know, you know. Something as special as that innate instinct to love and be loved by your person is art in itself. Keep the star-crossed feeling close with artfully directed storytelling photography designed to honor your love / your story / your wedding in all its authentic beauty. Let's hike a trail, drink cocktails on the roof, dance in a crowded street, let's capture your love for everything that it is. Let's do it all and make it as unforgettable as the moment you say, "I do!"

I think fate connected us with Lexi! From our initial discovery meeting, to our engagement shoot, and of course, our wedding day, Lexi was always our dream photographer. She was available to discuss Pinterest boards, dream shots, locations, outfits, everything. What we admire most about her photography itself is the dreamy, moody, ethereal romance she elegantly captures. We still gasp each time we view our wedding gallery! The morning of my wedding, she met us on-site at 5am with Starbucks for me and my husband (nice touch Lexi!), and immediately got to work setting up our first look, maintaining our schedule, snapping detail shots, and ushering us along to photography location after location to make sure we got every photo we could at our venue. Lexi is respectful of every wish, offers to get every shot, double-triple checks your comfort level, hypes you up, answers texts and emails promptly and sweetly, TRAVELS WITH A BROKEN FOOT, and makes you feel like a princess on your wedding day. I cannot recommend her enough, and I am looking forward to so many more photoshoots with her.

Not only did Sollie capture our laid back personalities and informal wishes, but those of our dogs that of course we had to include too! We were able to chase sunlight and our photos are beyond everything I ever imagined! Our families and friends were thrilled with our photos we shared and said they captured our love and personalities perfectly.

He knows the ups and downs of a wedding, so he would make sure we were okay by reminding us to stay hydrated and to eat, he would be so great communicating the schedule for the day, and what to expect and what to do throughout the photoshoot. So grateful for his expertise and we totally recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.

To add to that, on our wedding day we dealt with high winds and torrential freezing rain on the Washington coast. Through all of it, Amanda focused on getting the best shots of my wife and I, the ceremony, and our families in the most adverse conditions. She did great! Editing and delivery was quick and easy as well. I can't recommend Amanda Ford enough.

Your story celebrated through beautiful and unique portraits that will last a lifetime. Too often couples state they feel overly posed and awkward during their wedding photos. We want to see real laughs on the bride's face as they are getting ready, tears rolling down the grooms cheek as he sees his bride coming down the aisle for the first time, and the smiles sweeping across the ceremony. We want to see the fight for the garter and bouquets and the guests doing the cha-cha slide on the dance floor. The funny, sweet, raw, emotional REAL moments.

Hey there! Since you are trusting me to capture these special moments in your life, I figured you should probably know a bit about me, right? I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

We worked with Kyra for our engagement pictures and were so excited to find she was available to photograph our wedding, too. She checked in with us many times during our planning, offered insight and advice, and helped us nail down a timeline that worked really well. Kyra instantly makes you feel at ease -- she is so easy to talk to and offers so much support, she truly acts like a friend throughout such a stressful time of your life. We so appreciated her sharing her expertise and experience with us. Neither of us had felt very comfortable in front of a camera before, and Kyra met our awkwardness and apprehension with such support and helpful coaching that we had an absolute blast! On the day of our wedding, Kyra checked in with us to see if we needed anything, were feeling alright, etc. When she and her assistant, Sammi, arrived, everything just felt so right -- they were the perfect fit for us and for our wedding! We absolutely loved getting to work with them -- they made us laugh, cry, and smile larger than we thought was possible. Kyra and Sammi were both so good at directing us, our wedding parties, and our families during portraits and formals. They were the perfect balance of kind, confident, and directive. I cannot say enough positive things about Kyra and her team. We are so, so grateful to her for capturing the most beautiful day of our lives.

I cannot recommend Amanda/Salt Ivy Photography enough. When choosing a photographer for our wedding and for our post-wedding mountaintop shoot (instead of an engagement photoshoot), we wanted a photographer who had a unique artistic vision who produced dynamic and emotional shots. We wanted photography that really stood out and was not the run of the mill wedding photography. Most of all, we wanted photography that captured the authentic emotional connection we have and the incredible energy of our big day. When I saw Amanda's work, I knew she was the one. Not only was her work absolutely STUNNING, but she was incredible to work with. We had to change our wedding date 3 total times due to Covid... and even moved it out of state halfway through... Amanda was always flexible, understanding, accommodating and encouraging. The day of the wedding she was calm, loving, fun, and her energy really made the day even more special. Our post-wedding hike/photoshoot the next day was one of the most enjoyable parts of our entire wedding experience.

With cameras in hand & a quote from The Office on our lips, we deliver so much more than a gallery filled with images you’ll love...though you can count on us to deliver that, too!

Olivia was super easy to work with on the wedding day. I would love to shoot with her again. She was considerate of the videographer while also getting amazing shots. She didn’t try to over control the situation or monopolize the bride and groom.

I’m Kaytlyn Dempster and I’m the photographer, editor, social media manager, and person behind KDP! I believe that getting to know my clients is the #1 way to ensure an awesome experience, I’d love to tell you a little about me: I am married to my highschool sweetheart, I love animals but horses and dogs are my favorites (so if you ever want to include your fur baby in your session the answer is always YES), I live just outside Fayetteville, NC but I LOVE to travel, and I love creating beautiful images but more importantly, I love serving couples and their families on one of the greatest days of their lives

Kaytlyn is amazing! She takes the most beautiful pictures. I love working with her and everyone who hires her is always thrilled with her work.

In a nutshell - I am your giddy third wheel! I’ll travel anywhere for a great love story, I believe photography should be FUN, and that it should feel like an adventure because really, it’s just us, going on a little adventure together! This is also a no pressure situation! You don’t have to know “how to pose” — this isn’t about posing at all! This is 100% about us 3 out and about together, having fun, laughing a ton, and me giving you guys prompts and direction all in the effort of eliciting a natural reaction!

I can't recommend Elizabeth Ladean Photography enough!! I've had the opportunity to work together personally and professionally many times over the years. She truly is the best in the business!! She is extremely talented as a photographer and has a knack for making you feel comfortable and at ease. She is responsive, organized, and proactive. I've worked with many wedding professionals; she has always stood out in the way she runs her business! When you work with Elizabeth you'll get gorgeous, timeless photos but also a memorable experience!! Highly recommend!!!

Photography is my absolute passion and it shines through my images when I capture them. I live for the authentic moments... the raw emotions of the day. The tears that fall during a first look, the last hug with your parents before you walk down the aisle, and the ear to ear smiles once you've said "I Do". Those are the moments I promise to capture! I blend candid and guided shots, giving you the freedom to move about the day to enjoy it, while never having the thought of “what should I be doing” running through your mind. You'll be able to look back on your wedding photos years from now and remember it for every emotion and person involved.

I love being able to capture those endearing, authentic laughs, and just “in the moment” moments. I believe photos are a timeless way to relive that special moment. Memories are one of the most beautiful things we as humans have, so why not have that memory frozen in time where you can physically see it!

Awarded Best of Zola
Karla did my business promo shoot, in which was a very spontaneous decision on my behalf.. being that I am pretty awkward and do not really enjoy “modeling”. I was super awkward the whole shoot but Karla made me feel very comfortable and made me laugh the whole time. It honestly didn’t even feel unnatural at all as she captured my most genuine moments. She really helped me with “easing up” since I tend to get stiff and just as awkward as can be. She was extremely professional, friendly, funny, caring and patient! She managed to capture my best angles in which surprised me because my whole life I always get pictures taken of me and my lovely best friend AKA my double chin. I would highly suggest her to anyone looking for a photographer for any and every occasion possible. She comes off as a friend and not a stranger at all, which is why I’m looking forward to booking any future shoots I plan to take and she will also be the only person I am confident in recommending to others! SHE IS THE BEST.

I am a bilingual lifestyle photographer based in Omaha, Nebraska! Born and raised in Mexico, memories became a part of my life very early on. Moving made my desire to remember everything and anything that happened around me so much more important. So, picking up the camera just made sense and felt so natural. I run on coffee and local breweries! A perfect Friday night would be a movie (preferably Star Wars or Harry Potter) and a perfect Saturday night would be a local brewery or a place to dance with my friends.
