Jana Blue Photography (Photo + Film) 
Rating: 5.0 (13 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,600
  • Serves Westchester, 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.

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

Awarded Best of Zola
Zach is an incredible artist and I am so glad we hired him as our photographer for both engagement and wedding photos. I am not very comfortable being photographed, and was wary of ending up with a lot of awkward smiles, but Zach is a kind, funny person who will help you open up, laugh and let your natural smile out. His interests beyond the camera—music, film, etc.—have influenced his style, capturing the feeling of incredible moments with a cinematic quality. His photos captured the cozy and moody, yet crisp and bright November day of our wedding perfectly, and I know I will enjoy looking at them, and finding new favorites for years to come. We highly recommend Zach, and would certainly hire him again!

Our wedding was September 5, 2025 & we needed two photographers to capture a key moment (his perspective looking down the aisle & mine looking up the aisle). We also wanted a videographer to capture the entire ceremony & reception. I saw the great reviews & contacted George Street. I was impressed by their prompt response & the options they provided for us. We got to preview some of the photographers past photos to ensure we are captured how we want to be captured (I wanted more candids than posed photos). Our lead photographer, Colleen was absolutely amazing & so was the assistant photographer, Cyion. The pictures turned out gorgeous along with the video from our wedding date. Thank you to Colleen, Cyion, Nikeem & George Street for capturing our wonderful day. I CAN'T recommend y'all enough!

Hi, I’m Connie—congratulations on your engagement. Thank you for being here and for considering me as your photographer. I take a thoughtful, hands-on approach and believe the experience matters just as much as the final images. I’m involved well before the wedding day—collaborating on vision, timelines, and details to ensure everything feels intentional and effortless. I love curated Pinterest boards, open communication, and creating imagery that feels elevated, timeless, and personal. This is your day, and it should reflect you. Let’s talk!

Digital + Film Wedding Photography Hi! I'm Emma, owner and lead photographer of Emma Mullins Photography. Our goal is simple: to capture your vibe, your people, and your love in a way that looks and feels true to life. We just wrapped our 13th Chicago wedding season, and it's been a whirlwind of all things real and fabulous! Emma Mullins Photography embraces diversity and inclusivity. 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)

I absolutely loved working with Audrey for our wedding! I had to write her a review. I found her for her beautiful photos but I'm most happy with my choice in her, for all the rest of the little things. We met with her to discuss engagement shoot and wedding photos and she was so thoughtful. She asked questions I hadn't even thought of and it was from those questions that really helped me plan the rest of the wedding day of. She gave me a photo timeline that was absolutely essential. The rest of my vendors were given her timeline and they were so thankful at her level of detail too. I appreciated the thoughtful small touches. The way she asked about any complicated family dynamics, who our chosen family was, who she should highlight etc. I appreciate that she didn't come with assumptions and asked questions, so gently. I've found that's rare in the bridal world. I would 100% recommend Audrey to anyone we know and absolutely loved our experience with her. We went with a second shooter and we loved Olivia too! They both did fantastic work and were so thoughtful and professional. Thank you for all you did for Mike and I, Audrey! We will always remember you as a the one who kept us all together!

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.

She came to my rehearsal (which was just us & family & wedding party) and basically acted as a planner. She walked through the entire next day with us while capturing all the best shots. I went to bed that night feeling completely ready because of her. On the wedding day, she walked into my suite and I instantly felt a weight off my chest. The next few hours of photos were so fun, she had the entire bridal party giggling and singing. I got to live in the moment at every turn because I had complete faith that she was taking amazing pictures. Her eye for details and the way she brings her visions to life is mind blowing. I also have to note that my hair fell out after the ceremony when we took my veil out and she completely fixed it and no one could tell... who else's photographer is doing that?!? All that to say I don't think it gets better than Mayah. As I wait for the rest of my gallery it's hit me that our time with her is over, but I have so many memories to cherish and I plan to work with her again in the future. I couldn't imagine letting anyone us capture my special moments. ILY forever Mayah!!!

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.

John Foley Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves Westchester, IL

Hi! I'm John, a wedding photographer based in Chicago, IL. I believe deeply that great wedding photography is about creating imagery that is as visually compelling, as it is emotionally significant. Weaving the images together to tell unforgettable stories. My distinct 'documentary meets fine-art' style is a product of my unrelenting commitment to my craft and the complete trust that my couples place in me. I primarily cover weddings in the Chicagoland area, but I will travel to any destination worldwide for those seeking an adventure.

John is AMAZING!!! I am so so happy that we decided to invest in our wedding photos and book with John, because each photo is a work of art. John captured our story beautifully--from the sweet behind-the-scenes moments with friends and family, to the dramatic showstopper bridal portraits, we are so grateful to be able to remember our wedding through his lens! Looking through our gallery, we had photos that took our breath away, made us cry, and literally made us burst out laughing. And the cherry on top is that John is also fantastic to work with--a much-needed calm, focused, yet flexible presence on a chaotic day!! Highly highly recommend!
