Her mix of professionalism and approachability made choosing her an easy decision. Our package included an engagement shoot, which was incredibly helpful. It gave us time to get to know Candace before the wedding and made us feel much more at ease in front of the camera.

She hyped us and our wedding party up in the most authentic way.

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.

One thing’s certain: she will absolutely blow your mind.

Hi, I'm Ashley! I'm a professional wedding photographer based in Northern Illinois! At my core, I’m a giggly, bubbly, empathetic goofball with a welcoming heart. I've had roots in the wedding industry for a while now and have taken on many roles and worn many hats in this profession! In addition to wedding photography, I'm also a wedding coordinator and work for my local florist! I thrive in environments where I can be intentional, present, loving, empathetic, real, raw, and share in this space with others. This is the driving factor behind my “why” and where my passion for photography and the wedding industry takes root.

Where in the world do I start with my girl Ashley?! When planning my wedding in 2024, I knew one of the most important things during the process was to find an amazing wedding photographer, and sure enough we did! My husband and I got SO lucky. From the beginning, Ash made us beyond comfortable at our engagement shoot (it was our first time ever taking professional photos) AND we had a blast even though it was absolutely freezing that day. During one of the most stressful times of my life planning the wedding, she was the most amazing support, giving the best advice and sweetest comfort throughout the wedding process. Ashley helped make our wedding day go by so smoothly, helped calm my nerves with her warm presence and did an AMAZING job with our photos. She helped capture the most beautiful parts of our day and was so determined to get rainbow pics that we were so lucky to have. Ash was not only the best wedding photographer and her work is beyond beautiful, but she's also become a close friend of mine. I truly am so glad we found each other, I will forever be grateful for our girl! Don't think twice, I promise you won't regret booking any shoot with Ashley!

I’m a Danish wedding photographer based in Chicago. Photography has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’m drawn to images that feel honest and quiet - the kind that don’t just show what a moment looked like, but what it actually felt like to be there.

I don’t know where to begin! Anders and Kristin were truly the dream team behind capturing our wedding day! They weren’t just our photographer and videographer, they were our hype team! Not only did they deliver breathtaking photos and a beautifully crafted video that have allowed us to relive every magical moment, but they also went above and beyond—personally driving us to our venue on our wedding day. Anders and Kristin were also some of the most fun people we’ve ever worked with. From our initial meeting at our engagement shoot, they had us laughing, feeling totally at ease, and actually enjoying every moment in front of the camera. Their creativity and talent speak for themselves—the photos and video are beyond stunning—but it’s their personalities that made the whole experience unforgettable. They somehow managed to capture every candid, heartfelt, and hilarious moment, while also making sure we had the time of our lives in the process. If you want vendors who feel like old friends and who will turn your wedding day into an adventure, these two are it! We couldn't be more grateful.

We’re Cling & Peck, a trio of humans who are hooked on creating photos and videos that are going to last decades and generations. These photos and videos aren’t for mass consumption; they’re going to be loved by different handfuls of humans for years to to come. We love that.

Awarded Best of Zola
Cling and Peck made our wedding day feel like a beautiful adventure. We got married at a forest preserve in the middle of nowhere and they had scouted out several great spots for photos beforehand so that we didn't have to waste time looking around. They also listened to what we were looking for as far as style, specific photos, etc. and delivered exactly what we wanted, and more! Their artistic eye and perfect setup of shots gave the photos the perfect woodland fairytale wedding vibes. Group shots were well directed and easy to manage, unlike many family photo attempts I had experienced in the past. They also ingratiated themselves easily with the wedding guests so that their photos/videos during the reception were barely noticed. They just seemed like another person having fun on the dance floor capturing the whole thing. Would definitely recommend them for all aspects of their wedding photography.

I have been a wedding photographer for over 13 years now, but I'm still excited about every wedding I shoot.

My goal is to help each couple have the best possible day, while capturing their memories in the most flattering and memorable way.

Awarded Best of Zola
Bryson and I had the honor of working with Mary Rose for our wedding and we were so blessed by her partnership and her craft - not only did she get us previews less than 24h after the event itself, we had the full gallery one month later. And the photos were AMAZING. She captured the formal portraits and the unseen moments in the most tender way. Her presence is calming and encouraging; she is an expedient communicator leading up the event, extremely collaborative yet informative. We knew we were in good hands with a pro like Mary Rose. She is the confidant you want by your side no matter what curveballs the wedding day may throw or family dynamics may bring.. We knew we wanted to work with Mary Rose during our first consultation call, when she found a chicken egg in her pocket from her farm, because she is just that cool. And to this day and for years and years to come, we cherish the photos that she was able to capture. It is an honor to work with Mary Rose and I suggest you do the same!

AwestrucKen Photography focuses on ensuring great moments in time are caught. As much as we are tech/gear heads with regards to equipment, we also know that the greatest piece of equipment any photographer can have is his/her brain. We pride ourselves on using our brains and our gear to not just take pictures, but to tell stories. While pictures, as Dorothea Lange says, “take an instant out of time; altering life by holding it still”, it’s also important that each instant of time is part of a person or event’s story.

Ken was the absolute perfect addition to our special day! Obviously you cherish your wedding photos forever and we could not be happier with them! On our big day, he made sure to get the most beautifully stunning yet natural shots that we envisioned while making sure we were comfortable and having the absolute best time.

I’m Marissa a photographer, mom, and wife. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me adventuring around Chicago (or across the country) with my family. We love exploring new places, and I’ll never say no to a good plate of nachos, a Snickers, or a fizzy water. Photography has been part of me for as long as I can remember—I’ve always had a camera in hand. Fun fact: my daughters are even named after a camera and after light (can you guess their names?). What I love most is capturing real, meaningful moments, especially weddings. Being able to preserve love stories in an authentic and lasting way is truly the heart of what I do.

Awarded Best of Zola
I hired Marissa as our photographer this past June for our Long Beach, California Wedding knowing she was going to capture every moment beautifully. Let me tell you, she delivered so much more. She helped keep forward momentum through the whole night when everything was just a joyful blur I was lost in. When an issue arose with the second photographer, she found a solution before we even knew of the problem. She was such an incredible asset throughout the entire experience. On top of that, our photos came out incredible. She captured the feeling of the wedding. So many touching moments, celebrations, and Justin and I have never looked better. I’m obsessed. I can’t rave enough about how incredible Marissa is. I could not imagine our wedding without her, you shouldn’t either. 100000/100 highly recommend

Today, I have over a decade in the industry, multiple commendations, and have held the Wedding Wire Couples' Choice Award and The Knot Best of Weddings Award 7 years in a row and counting. ​

Xcitephoto&Films was an excellent choice for our wedding photography and videography. Their communication was clear, precise, and they provided fast answers by phone or email throughout the planning process. The quality of their work was very professional, and the photos and video were beautifully done!

We wanted a photographer near us to help entwine our roots here in Illinois. After lots of research and recommendations, we went with Rachel. While searching, what really stuck out to us was Rachel's ability to take such warm photographs and her ability to capture the little moments. I was hopeful she could do the same for my fiancé, Josh, & I. Boy oh boy, she did that and more. Our session was so much fun because of how easy it was to work with Rachel. Josh and I both felt comfortable and could definitely cut loose after a couple of warm up shots. Rachel knew her stuff when it came to finding good locations in the Chicago downtown area to help photograph us as an engaged couple. She got our edited photos back to us quickly. We are still staring at them today with so much love and appreciation for her hard work to make us look like super stars. +11/10 stars for Rachel Mae Photography.

Hi, I'm Missy! I have a very large, blended family with 7 kids and 7 grandchildren. When we all get together, it’s l.o.u.d.! I’ve been in business for over 14 years and am based out of Geneva, but willing to travel. Some of my favorite things are: McDonald’s Cokes, Anthropologie, Kate Spade anything, a good Reisling, a great sense of humor, finding a great bargain, shopping, big hugs.

From the moment we first spoke on the phone, to the gallery delivery, Missy was so fun and helpful. Her photos are amazing and she made our wedding day feel like a dream. She felt like a best friend helping out with whatever needed to be done on our big day and ran through the formal photos like a champ. We are forever grateful and forever clients now.

My name is Abby, owner of Wren and Rose Photography! I am based in the western Chicago suburbs and I am all capturing authentic moments and good vibes. I like to say that I am the wedding photographer for the rad souls and the groovy lovers, but truly everyone is welcome here. When it comes to my approach to wedding photography, I am big on really getting to know you two, learning about your love story, understanding your vision, and working collaboratively to ensure your day is as stress free as possible. I may be your wedding photographer, but relationships are so important to me with each client I work with.

Abby was an absolute dream to work with and such a joy to be around. Not only did we love working with her, but our wedding party, family, and friends did too. She took the most stunning photos and truly captured our love perfectly. Her creativity and eye for unique moments resulted in photos that we will cherish forever. We loved working with Abby and could not recommend her enough!
