Michelle Zapanta Photography

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,800
  • Serves Manteno, IL

What started out as a hobby, evolved into a great passion. With a camera on hand for every event, I spent my lunch money as a young kid developing films at the photo store. I became so fond of capturing as many organic moments as I can in photographs and fell in love with the idea of telling people's stories in images rather than words. I started venturing into professional photography right after my own wedding to my high school sweetheart, Erick, which was back in 2014. I LOVE everything wedding-related. My favorite to photographs are the wedding details, the bride and groom portraits and anything that will make me either cry or laugh!

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Michelle was the best choice my wife and I made during our wedding preparations. Her photos are stunning. True professionalism, skill, and a keen eye for capturing those happy moments. But best of all, she has a warm personality which made working with her feel easy. She was able to photograph our Indian wedding with such class, that these memories will remain with us forever.

I also specialize in planning weddings in a very short amount of time. Its a wonderful challenge and you’ll receive no judgement from me about your timelines! There are no geographic limitations.

I have supported people from all backgrounds in their journey towards a lifetime of love together. I network extensively with other vendors & have a passion for collaboration.

Awarded Best of Zola
If there is one decision you must make for your wedding, you must hire Sholeh as your wedding planner or coordinator. Sholeh is everything that every good planner should be. She is organized, thoughtful, flexible, down-to-earth, detail oriented, solution oriented, and extremely kind. She was recommended to us by our wedding venue and to say we were not disappointed would be the understatement of the century. Initially, we hired Sholeh for half-day coordination services, and planned to have the in-house reception planner handle the remainder of the day. But when the venue coordinator fell through, we immediately called Sholeh in a panic and she said, "Don't worry, consider me your full-day coordinator now." She hardly even charged us a substantial upcharge for planning the entire day. On the day of the wedding, she truly felt like family. She arrived on-time, with her wagon full of supplies, ready and eager to help. She made sure everyone was fed, went out of her way to spend quality time with the mother of the bride and bride's sister, and executed every detail to perfection. She even sewed one of the groom's cousins back into her dress at the reception. Sholeh is a dream come true. We could truly write pages about how wonderful she truly is. Believe us when we say that you must must must hire Sholeh!

I am so, so appreciative of Cat and the team she assigned to my wedding. Cat was so understanding and lovely throughout my process. I'm pretty natural - I'm not terribly into makeup and the girly things in life so getting dolled up for my wedding took some getting used to! Lenee was a total pro with my hair along with my mother, MIL, and three friends. She was so patient and listened to what each of us wanted, and executed perfectly. She was also so lovely during my trial and to have in my suite the morning of the wedding. Amanda was our makeup artist and did she rise to the occasion! She was my third makeup trial and she nailed it. She gave me great advice ahead of time on how my makeup would lay better on my face. I did as she suggested and it really made a difference. We had a few others on the day of who had challenging skin and she also nailed it. She was so much fun to chat with and have around. Both Lenee and Amanda just gave us wonderful, positive, fun energy the morning of so I really could not have asked for a better team. Thank you, Cat, for providing such a nice experience for my wedding day! I will be forever grateful.

I have been taking photos since I was young. My love for photography really began after my high school yearbook/journalism class! I started taking photos on my own in 2022 on my mom’s camera. A simple hobby quickly became my passion, and then became Touch of Grace! After moving to Morris from southern Illinois, I quickly made so many new friends through photography. Since then my brand has exponentially grown. I am so excited to continue to watch Touch of Grace grow!

Grace was absolutely amazing to shoot with! She took the time to contact me before the shoot to ask me for inspiration of what poses I wanted to do during our session. She was so kind and patient with us throughout the whole thing. We even did an outfit change and she was so accommodating! I will absolutely be booking again with her this year.

Erica Melissa is a truly exceptional wedding photographer. Her communication style is direct, clear, and delivered with a kind tone, making her a thoughtful and attentive partner throughout the process. The quality of her work is outstanding, with meticulous attention to detail and a highly organized approach that ensures the final product is matchless in value. Whether working with a multimillionaire or an average couple, Erica treats every project with the same level of care and dedication. She went above and beyond to help me with details outside the scope of a typical wedding photographer, always keeping in mind the importance of preserving every moment of the special day. Erica has a way of making couples feel like she's been a part of their lives forever, her kind spirit and powerful artistic (“seer”) gift creates priceless memories that will last long after the wedding day has passed. I tell my clients all the time, the most important vendor you will login perhaps outside of your venue, is your photographer!

Hey there! If we’re going to be friends, you should know that I'm goofy, adventurous, a shameless cat mom, and I don’t like chocolate (weird right?!). I graduated from Bradley University in 2018 and launched Moira Nolan Photography, specializing in wedding and engagement photography in 2019. Now here I am, a capturer of laughs, kisses, & all things love and it brings me so much joy! I mainly serve the Chicago and the Chicago Suburbs but I love to travel! Especially since it is a goal of mine to visit all 50 states.

I can't even begin to describe how absolutely amazing and wonderful our experience was with Moira! When we first contacted Moira she called us to go over our questions, and her services, it was so nice to be able to have a conversation about what we wanted and what she would provide! In the time leading up to our engagement shoot, I had changed my mind on location multiple times and Moira was extremely understanding and helped my vision come to life! We took our engagement pictures at the public library where I met my (now) husband and even took some pictures in the rain at our favorite park! Moira worked thru the downpour and got some AMAZING shots! Leading up to our wedding we met with Moira to go over timeline and she helped to make sure we would have enough time allocated for everything we wanted. On our wedding day Moira was punctual and extremely amazing to work with! We had to move some things around timeline wise and it all worked out beautifully. Our pictures are absolutely INCREDIBLE. I'm obsessed with them and she captured our day perfectly. I hope this review helps with your decision to pick your photographer, and I would HIGHLY recommend working with Moira, she is the best of the best!

I’m Kate Timako, a photographer obsessed with capturing people as they truly are—unfiltered, cinematic, and effortlessly beautiful in their own way. My background in media and cinematography taught me to see stories in every glance, every quiet moment, every burst of laughter. Whether it’s an intimate courthouse wedding, a branding session that actually feels like you, or a sun-soaked, nostalgia-drenched portrait, I make sure your photos feel like a memory, not just a pose. I’m driven by a desire to create images that tell stories and evoke a sense of nostalgia, always with an eye for the details that make each moment unique.

I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our civil court wedding! Kate was absolutely amazing from start to finish, making me feel incredibly special and comfortable throughout the day. Her attention to detail and talent behind the camera resulted in the most stunning photos that my family and friends still rave about. She captured every moment beautifully, with an eye for the little details that made our day unforgettable. I’m beyond grateful for her work and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who truly goes above and beyond.

Hi! I’m Abi, a passionate visual storyteller with a focus on documentary-style photography. My work is all about capturing authentic, raw moments that tell the unique story of your wedding day. I was born and raised in Minooka, Illinois and then spent my college years and early 20's in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Me and my husband moved back to Illinois last year to be closer to family! I enjoy all things creative and lounging on the couch with my husband, Clay, and our two crazy dogs. I am a lover of craft beer, mexican food, and reality TV. I was created to create and give all of the Glory to God!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. Abigael went above and beyond in every possible way! From the moment we met, she made me and my husband feel comfortable, excited, and like absolute royalty. The photos? SLAMMING. Every single shot was stunning! Emotional, dreamy, and timeless. She captured moments I didn’t even know happened, and somehow made us look even better than we felt on the best day of our lives. Not only is Abigael insanely talented, but her energy and dedication were unmatched. She hustled, hyped us up, and made sure every little detail was captured perfectly. I’m still in awe going through our gallery! If you’re on the fence, you should have booked her yesterday. Your future self (and your wedding album) will thank you! Thank you Abigael!
