Zach Caddy Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (18 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Schaumburg, IL

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!

Zach did a wonderful job at our wedding this past summer at the Garfield Park Conservatory! Zach captured so many candid, tender moments throughout the whole night. He was able to wrangle 30 people for a large family photo with ease. The photos so perfectly show all the love and joy in the room that night. Great photos, great dude!

Awarded Best of Zola
Going into the wedding planning process, my now husband and I didn’t have a strong vision for what we wanted in terms of photography. We just wanted to have lots of fun and end up with some great candid shots. We chose Original Weddings because we really liked their Instagram photos, and they had pricing options that fit our budget comfortably. Their online platform and regular communication made the process super simple and straightforward. We met with the Original team and our photographer, Eugene, a month or so before the wedding, and gave him pretty much no direction except that we wanted a lot of candid shots. The day of the wedding, he was on point. He got amazing candid shots, but also recommended certain group photos or locations for us to shoot throughout the evening. We are so thrilled with how our photos turned out, and owe it all to Eugene’s guidance, skill, and professionalism.

Peggy was our photographer for our wedding and Kenneth was our videographer and we cannot thank them enough for how incredible they were. We'd been talking with Peggy for months and she was so easy to work with and so accommodating. She made us feel comfortable and the whole time we felt we were in excellent hands. She arrived early, directed everyone so well, let me know there was water dripping in the aisle, and kept everyone on schedule. She was a coordinator as much as she was a photographer and she was fantastic as both. Thank you so much, Peggy, we will never forget how well you handled everything, how great you made us feel, and for capturing our wedding day so beautifully. Thank you also to Kenneth, your calm and focused demeanor and your precision was very reassuring and we can't wait to see the footage. Thanks also to Gerry with Essence's formalwear, who provided all the suits and tuxedos, you were great to work with and everyone looked so dapper. I'll definitely be recommending Essence to anyone I know who's getting married and wants a smooth, affordable, reliable, and genuine group to work with.

I’m Anna, it’s so nice to meet you! I run a boutique family-owned photography studio in Schaumburg. I am a wife. A mommy. A latte enjoyer. A farmers market enthusiast and avid gardener. Most importantly, I am enchanted by life, love, and its tiny beautiful moments. I would be very honored and excited to document your spirit and all the chapters that come together to bind your story together!

Words cannot express enough how lucky we felt to have Anna as our wedding photographer! Not only she felt like a true friend before, during, and after the big day, but also she created photos that we immediately printed in the largest possible size to proudly display on our new home walls. Love her creativity, sense of humor, and making us feel so relaxed (we are not camera people ;)) She helped with the wedding planning process too! What also stands out is her style - we didn't want the photos that have muted or too bright colors, so her lively style was exactly what we were looking for. I have never felt so beautiful as she made us all look, and everyone is raving about our photos :) Best wedding decision! Don't wait too long, book her now!!!

I'm a type A planner with a type B laid back personality. Coffee & donuts are my love language. I'm sentimental and nostalgic of familiar memories, but love the adventure of exploring new places. If there's a word that I hope would describe me, it'd be genuine. I hope that seeps through everything that I do, and every image that I capture.

From the first moment we spoke with Melissa, we knew she was the right photographer for our wedding. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and our vision for our entire wedding to make sure she captured our special day perfectly. She handled my stress as the bride leading up to and on the day wonderfully by reassuring all was well. She made sure each special moment I relayed to her were pictured. She is the absolute best!

George Street Photography exceeded our expectations and made our wedding day even better than we could have hoped. From the start, they had us take a quiz to see which style of photography we liked most. Then, they gave us options of photographers that meet those criteria. Then, the photographers communicate with you directly and you fill out a form with all the details of your big day (and there were some things I probably would have forgotten without this!) They were extremely communicative and helped ease any concerns along the way. Not to mention, the price for not one but TWO photographers for my entire wedding was unbeatable! Our photographers were seriously the best and added so much life to our party! Towards the end of the night, one of our photographers, Jose, was on the dance floor with us being completely immersed and getting pictures that reflect exactly what it was like to be on that dance floor! And, we received all our pictures back in LESS THAN TWO WEEKS! This is absolutely unheard of, and was a great surprise! I will recommend George Street to all of my friends and family, and honestly anyone that will listen! They were absolutely incredible.

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!

Words can’t fully describe how amazing Emma is. She did our engagement photos and they blew us away, so we knew we needed her for our big day. 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. So much so that I had friends coming up to me and saying “your photographer Emma is AWESOME!” She’s just that talented and wonderful.

We are a proud ally of the LGBTQ+ community and happy to serve humans of every background, gender and identity.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are huge fans of Emma! Here are 5 reasons she should also be your wedding photographer: 1. Emma is incredibly nice and was so generous with wedding organizing wisdom. She helped us feel more confident about the thousands of small details in the entire process, from our first Zoom meeting with her to the engagement photo shoot to the final shots on our wedding day 2. She is incredibly thorough as a communicator. We never had any question about what she needed or what she was doing before, during, or after the ceremony. And she was even very communicative via email with our moms(!) 3. She is so organized but also so creative. She kept our wedding day smooth by planning out all the posed shots needed, and she got all photos back to us in an always impressive timeframe. But she was also always open for a surprising shot or a little experiment. It made her work feel even more personal 4. She was a rock star on our wedding day, if you couldn’t tell. And she was a super fun hang during our engagement photo session, which featured Emma, my wife, and I improvising playful shots during a sudden rain storm(!) 5. Most of all, when she’s taking photos of you, her excitement in that moment fires you up more and makes you feel so comfortable. She makes you feel like your pictures are the best wedding photos ever taken. (But ours were, obviously)

When looking for a wedding photographer, we were looking for several qualities… We wanted someone that has an upbeat and outgoing personality to help us and our wedding party get re-energized throughout a long day, listens and follows through with our preferences, creates high quality photos, guides us on what to do for poses, and gets creative with the different styles of photos - Audrey was exactly all of these, and so much more.

We had an absolutely positive experience working with Kriztelle and Tethered Stories for our wedding and engagement photos this past year. She has an incredible talent for capturing both the big and the intimate moments, and she’s someone you can trust with your special day. Kriztelle was incredibly easy to work with. From our initial consultation, she demonstrated professionalism, responsiveness, and transparency. On photo shoot days, She has the remarkable ability to capture genuine emotions and candid shots, but she’s also more than willing to offer guidance and feedback when you’re unsure about what to do with your hands or face. I appreciated her thorough get-to-know-you questionnaire; she took the time to truly understand us and ensure that we had a seamless experience by the time we met up in person. We were also quite happy to have an engagement session as part of our package. It was a great opportunity to learn how to work together and on the other side of the lens before the big day. She also even went above and beyond by offering to help us fine-tune our timeline and wants for photos, which was a huge bonus! We highly recommend Kriztelle and Tethered Stories to anyone planning a wedding. Mayra, our second photographer, was notably just as fantastic to work with. Tethered stories has captured memories that we will get cherish forever - and we are so grateful! Ps. We also had the privilege of booking a photo/video package through Kriztelle and her collaboration with Diamond Peak Films. If you’re considering booking photo and video for your big day, I highly recommend it booking both! They work very well together.

Spoiler alert: I didn't grow up daydreaming about weddings. Instead, I grew up on shaky home videos and weathered family albums—so I know how important it is to keep memories alive. The problem? The internet is overflowing with photos that focus on trends over authenticity. That's why, in a world filled with filters + fads, I'm here to capture every real moment of your wedding day.

We have worked with Chelsea for engagement photos, wedding photos, and just because photos. A photographer is the one person you are with the whole wedding day, so picking Chelsea was a no brainer. She gets the job done, but does so with kindness and through friendship. She also does a great job of getting us out of our comfort zone. Our wedding photos are truly stunning and are hung up throughout the house. She will be our go to photographer for all future needs! Thanks again Chelsea!

Kyle was just so wonderful to work with, and the end product had us tearing up all over again. The photos were so beautiful and absolutely captured the feel and excitement of the day. The photos are beautiful, intimate and real. He was so kind throughout the entire process- always there to help us throughout the day, capture the small moments, and made it so fun to work with him.
