Nova Photos did an incredible job at capturing our wedding day! Our coordinator made sure to ask for thorough details and asked us many questions to ensure our day came out smooth. Our photographer was Florin and he was amazing!!! Attentive, respectful, honest and personable. He made our experience so easy and we did not worry about capturing every important morning of our day. He posed us in creative ways while also taking traditional shots, made sure we had enough photos with everyone we wanted to take it with (we had a group of friends/family with us), and he made suggestions that we ended up loving as far as location/poses. The quality of the photos is very clear and high quality! We enjoyed the filters and editing that was done as well; it was not overdone. Overall, I recommend hiring Nova Photos if you want a seamless, thoughtful and thorough experience on your wedding day. Thank you!

Awarded Best of Zola
I highly recommend this company to take photos at your wedding! We loved our photographer Percy. He was incredible, and so helpful. He came with several cameras and valued all of our ideas, and when we became stumped he offered ideas for us to try as well. He was very professional, kind, caring, and always on top of the game taking photos. Towards the end of our night he started to put the camera away and brought it back out to catch a few final moments. He was on top of responding to all questions before, during, and after. He took photos of me and my husband before the ceremony and got some wonderful shots (it was a 95 outside wedding so this was much appreciated because we all had some sweat on our faces). But before we got Percy and our booking process with eivans it was super simple, and just an overall great experience.

  • Serves Winfield, IL

Hey! I'm Mackenzie - mom, photographer, wife and book + latte obsessed! Ideal day starts with a latte and a bagel sandwich (because going out for breakfast is the BEST) and ends with a good book. Throw in a photoshoot or wedding in the middle and I'm set!! I have been a professional photographer for 14 years now focusing on couples, families and small businesses. I am not a fan of super stiff posing so I use prompts and play games to capture your personalties and relationships. For weddings, most of your gallery will consist of candid shots of your day helping to tell your story. I'd love to chat with you more!!

Awarded Best of Zola
I stumbled upon Mackenzie’s page because I was searching for someone who did photography and a bit of videography in one for a reasonable price. She was absolutely wonderful. My husband and I are awkward and she made us feel and look so comfortable. The quality of her work is amazing and unique. She went on to shoot my sister in laws wedding, her friends and our family shoots. Highly recommend!

Jana Blue Photography (Photo + Film)

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves Winfield, 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.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

If you made it to this page, you can see through my work that I love telling the story of your day by capturing the emotions and moments you can't afford to miss. ​ I come from a large Italian family with many of us extended into the arts or passionate about cooking and singing. I picked up my first camera in high school and immediately I was hooked. 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. ​

Worked with Andrew and his Xcite team at recent wedding and they are top notch pros for all video/photo needs! They always stage and prepare you to record your moments to match your vision. Easy to work with and talented behind the lens. I’ll highly recommended considering their team for capturing your wedding and all special events!

Shooting weddings is what brings me the most fulfillment and joy. It is pretty amazing when your passion can become your career. I understand the importance of capturing the authenticity and uniqueness of your love. The most rewarding aspect of my work is seeing the joy, sacrifice, beauty and love in marriage. I will help you every step of the way to feel comfortable and confident, but I want to get all of the unplanned moments as well! If you think we're a fit, say hey!

Rachel was referred to us by our married friends who also shot with her. We're more than thrilled we went with her! I'm not exaggerating when I say that I think her work is the best I've seen. I saw some of previous work in her portfolio and thought to myself, "wow, that's incredible, but I don't think we have the means to so something that spectacular around here." I was totally wrong. Rachel is able to transform nearby locations into magical and breathtaking backdrops. She was able to make these special memories appear like they were taken out of a movie. We will look back on these beautiful pictures for the rest of out live. They turned out even better than what we imagined, and we couldn't be happier. Thank you Rachel!

Hi there! I’m the Jill in JTP. I started this company back in 2010 and have since expanded the team to include other amazing creatives. Working with people, telling stories, and documenting moments are the things I'm most passionate about in my work. Outside of photography – I love to travel and try anything new. I'm at peace in the mountains, or anywhere with a breeze on my face. But I also love sitting on the couch sandwiched between my husband, dog, and two cats.

I HIGHLY recommend partnering with Jill to capture your engagement photos and wedding day. Jill and her team know how to authentically capture the joy and magic of these major life events with artistic, sentimental flare. She is a true professional, who made us feel heard and prioritized when working together. On our wedding day, she and Kyle effortlessly led our family and wedding parties through the formal portraits, while maintaining a warm, calm demeanor. And the photos speak for themselves. These shots will be cherished and loved in our family for decades to come, and we cannot thank Jill enough for beautifully capturing these special, magical moments in our relationship.

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.

Oh hey — I’m Sammie! Or Sam. Samantha. Mom. Girl with the camera. I answer to basically anything! I’m a mom of two wild kiddos, three ridiculous fluff balls, and I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart since forever. I’m a loud, sarcastic, MCU-obsessed, book-loving homebody who swears a little too much and loves Chipotle - like a lot. I’ve been a photographer for 13 years, with degrees in photography and graphic design from Dominican University. My work is all about connection — capturing real, unscripted moments that will mean even more years from now. I’m so happy you’re here. Let’s create something beautiful together.

Samantha Jean Photography LLC was an incredible wedding photographer for our special day. From the very beginning, Sam was communicative, open to all of our questions, and available at all hours to ensure we felt supported throughout the process. On the day of the wedding, Sam got nearly every single shot on our photo list, going out of her way to make sure she captured all the important moments. The quality of her work is truly remarkable - the photos are absolutely beautiful and we are thrilled with how they turned out.

Hey future brides and grooms! I truly love weddings. I love the insane amount of beautiful in-between moments that inevitably happen and I get to capture in a stealthy way that makes me feel like a spy, but also the moments that I get to help create! Posing in a way that creates movement and memories and doesn't just end up being a part of your to-do list but a favorite part of the day! I adore laughs between kisses, the golden glow at sunset, a bride twirling or frolicking (bonus if there's a forest!) and forehead kisses. I love when you're willing to laugh, have fun, and be completely swept up in what is a beautiful but incredibly fast day!

Kayla Brook Photography is absolutely AMAZING! Her professionalism and personality make her so easy to work with. She really knows how to make her clients feel comfortable in front of the camera & captures their beauty effortlessly. Kayla is extremely quick to respond to emails & is highly organized! Her photos always turn out PERFECT & she really knows how to capture emotion. I have received so many compliments on photos that Kayla took! I can't recommend Kayla enough!

Our fuzzy puppies Willow & Watson, (Wheaten Terriers who think they're human) love it too! 13 years of wedding experience has prepared me to capture your most cherished moments and turn them into heirlooms. I look forward to learning more about you & your love.

My name is Becka! I am extremely passionate about photography and I love what I do! I work with my husband, Daniel, who offers videography. We are obsessed with our two cats, Josie and Daphne. We love going to concerts, hiking, and checking out new movies!

Becka was truly awesome as our wedding photographer! Her photos are of amazing quality and perfectly capture both my and my husband’s personalities. She was always open to our ideas, like incorporating a wand fight and a special lift we do in every milestone photo. We absolutely loved our engagement session with her, where we had the chance to meet, discuss our vibe, and take beautiful photos that we proudly shared on social media and used throughout our wedding planning process (like on our wedding website and save the dates). On our wedding day, Becka and her assistant worked seamlessly together. There were moments when I started to feel overwhelmed, but Becka handled everything very professionally, ensuring that I could enjoy the day while still getting all the photos I wanted. We were amazed at how many stunning photos we got in such a short amount of time, and I genuinely love every single one of them. I’m incredibly grateful for her talent and dedication in capturing our wedding day, as these are the memories we’ll cherish forever. I would 100% recommend Becka to other couples and will definitely return to her for all our photography needs!
