Thomas Doggett Photography

5.0

Batavia, IL
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,400

I have a lot to offer, and I do things differently than most other photographers. More than anything, I want to make sure I’m the perfect fit for your wedding. My style and approach is a generous mix of documentary and editorial-style portraiture. For the majority of the day, I stay very hands off, focusing 100% on the story. You won’t find me asking you or your friends to stage or recreate moments, but you will find me ready to capture those moments before they even happen. During portraits, it’s a little different. I give plenty of direction, working to bring creative ideas and poses to make images that are as unique as the people in them.

Thomas hands down is one of the nicest photographers I know. As a business owner and wedding vendor myself, we work with hundreds of photographers every weekend and I can truly say Thomas is by far one of the most genuine photographers out there. Such a nice guy, and extremely easy to work with. We worked together on a past clients wedding back in 2021 and ever since then I knew this was a photographer I wanted to work with again. His work is amazing and he truly cares about his clients!! Definitely recommend!

Hej, I’m Anders, originally from Denmark, I made the move to the United States in 2019 to marry my wonderful wife, Kristin. Photography has always been a passion of mine, and I've coupled that with my love for adventure. Whether it's traveling the world, scuba diving, hiking, or ultra running, I've always found ways to incorporate photography into these experiences. However, everything changed for me when I shot my first wedding. Being part of such a special day, filled with love and magic, made me realize that this is what I truly want to do.

Anders saved me in short noticed when my initial photographer didn't work out and I am so glad I had Anders photograph my wedding. All the pictures look like scenes from a movie. He is so talented in capturing the important moments along with details of me, my husband and the guests. He is very responsive in planning and the day of. He takes into consideration of all your wishes. I wish I had another event to work with him again.

Chicago, IL
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000

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.

We had our engagement photos with Jill and they were amazing!! The engagement shoot helped us to get comfortable in front of the camera and Jill provided just the right amount of guidance. We were so excited for her to photograph our June 2020 wedding, but then COVID hit and we had to postpone.  Even with all of the uncertainty, Jill was very supportive, understanding, and flexible during the extremely stressful times. We worked closely with Jill throughout the process and talked through any changes along the way.  After being told we would need to wear masks during our wedding ceremony in church (heartbroken that our first look moment walking down the aisle would be taken away) – Jill shined through with the fantastic idea of having our first look outside of our condo.  It made for such a special moment and one we would have never thought would make such a good backdrop.  Jill is very talented and had an attention for detail the entire day of our wedding ceremony and it shows in all of our photos.  She captured all of the love and emotions of the day you can feel when looking through the pictures. The photos are priceless memories we will be able to look back on and treasure forever.  We can’t wait to work with her again for our reception in 2021!

I’ll start off by saying, I’m not nearly as intimidating as my name.

Hadassah captured the fun and candid moments of all our guests and paid attention to all the details. She was patient and provided a calming presence during the whole event.

Elgin, IL
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,350

Having worked with over 400 couples while sharing their unique and special day, I’ve stepped up to the challenge of capturing a couple’s personal style and touch. This is what keeps me so inspired year after year. Weddings and Engagements combine everything I enjoy about being a photographer with a photo-journalist’s background; there’s the history of the moment, the bride and groom are the “celebrities” of the day with the bridal party their “entourage”, the D.J. creates the concert, and the guests are the crowd!

We booked with Louis to photograph our wedding before we even got engaged. It was the first thing we did because we loved his style and the packages/price. Let me tell you we were blown away with this talent and friendliness. At both our engagement session and our wedding we had a lot of fun taking pictures because Louis made it fun. What could be hours of silence besides some photo cues, turned into good conversations and even better pictures. His partner Gabby was phenomenal as well, they made a great team. They work very fast as our wedding was 12/16 and we already have our sneak peeks and our photos will be done in a few weeks! They sneak peeks are absolutely stunning I cannot wait to see the rest. If you’re considering booking with two 2 tango, DO IT! They captured our wedding perfectly. It looks like a movie. Couldn't be happier with our choice of photographer.

Warrenville, IL
  • Photojournalistic style

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!

Awestrucken Photography

Villa Park, IL
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,199

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 great from start to finish and was extremely receptive to what we were looking for in terms of a vendor we can jam with and will also be able to work well with our other vendors - it was very important ALL our vendors were people we could consider people we'd call our friends and Ken is just that! Fun, charming, charismatic and creative - you need that in a photographer! We will continue recommending him to our friends and family for years to come 3

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.

Marc and Mindy are just an absolute gem of a duo. Our wedding date was on 06.03.23. They shot both engagement and wedding day. We have been connected with them through families and friend's weddings they've done. When it came to our day, there was no doubt who we were going to reach out to. Marc and Mindy have such a special way of making a bride and groom feel so well thought of. Not only are their portraits STUNNING, they make the experience so stress-free. Mindy comes in with a ton of experience in posing...something we know 0 things about. They were so mindful of schedule and specific shots we wanted. It was such a collaborative effort in addition to their expertise. They make sure to ask alll the good questions, including getting to know you, which we found to be such a genuine touch. Don't sleep on booking them for your wedding. You seriously would not regret it. Wedding days and taking photos can be so overwhelming. You want someone like Marc and Mindy on that day--folks who will take care of you, keep you calm, and keep you having fun! They certainly know how to bring your vision to life.

My husband and I had TWA for our wedding in October of 2020 and I can't express enough how amazing they were to work with. We weren't sure what our wedding plans would look like during that time and plans changed multiple times. I never once worried about their flexibility and understanding. On our wedding day our team of photographers were amazing and captured every moment, big or little, beautifully. Our second photographer was able to get my husband out of his shell and feel comfortable with having someone taking his pictures all day. If you are considering TWA, you won't regret having them as part of your wedding day!

Hi!! I'm Hanna Lucille, but you can just call me Hanna. I'm an Indiana wedding photographer who's ready to capture your wedding exactly as you remember it... and get down with you on the dance floor! I consider my style to be "documentary-ish' - carefree, imagery that portrays your story in an authentic way. My approach ensures you get those gorgeous instagrammable portraits AND the 'blink or you'll miss it' candids. (Alexa, play 'Best of Both Worlds by Hannah Montana)

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the pleasure of working with Hanna for our family photos, and the experience was nothing short of amazing! Hanna's warm and friendly demeanor put us at ease, making the entire session enjoyable and fun. Mind you, this session included a dog and an 8 week old baby. Not only is Hanna incredibly easy to work with, but her sense of humor added an extra layer of joy to the whole process. It felt like we were capturing genuine moments rather than staged poses, and that authenticity truly shines through in the final photos. One thing that stood out was the speed at which we received a preview of the images. Hanna's efficiency is unmatched, providing us with a sneak peek that exceeded our expectations. And to top it off, we had a complete gallery to explore in less than a month—a remarkably quick turnaround that demonstrated her commitment to delivering exceptional service. The viewing platform Hanna uses is not only user-friendly but also enhances the overall experience of reliving those beautiful moments. It's clear that she goes above and beyond to ensure her clients not only receive stunning photographs but also enjoy a seamless and delightful journey from start to finish. In summary, Hanna's professionalism, kindness, and talent make her a standout photographer. We are beyond thrilled with our family photos and grateful for the outstanding customer service she provided. If you're looking for a photographer who not only captures memories but creates an enjoyable experience, Hanna is the one to choose. We wholeheartedly recommend her and look forward to working with her again in the future.

She improvised at all the right times, and made me feel so at ease the entire day. She executed exactly what we wanted, came prepared with a list of photos I’d mentioned to her prior, and made sure to remind me of the photo inspiration I sent to her. She is artistic, adventurous, and professional, all at the same time. Between the caterers, the venue, the DJ, and every vendor in between, we felt that Wendy was worth every penny.

My fiancé and I worked with Nica for engagement pictures in downtown Chicago and we are in LOVE with the results! She sends a detailed questionnaire before the shoot so that she has the right idea of the kinds of pictures you want. She had fun, unique ideas for photos and incorporated classic poses we knew we wanted. She was always quick to respond as well.

Amy is amazing. From the start, she was on top of communication, making sure everything was ready and planned for the day of the wedding. She really knows what she is doing and helped me figure out what I wanted. Day of the wedding, she made everyone feel so comfortable and got beautiful pictures of the day. Nothing felt forced, as her candid style of photography is exactly what I pictured for my day. She captured every part of the day, from the big events down to the tiniest details. My husband, who is very camera shy and often takes awkward pictures because of it (lol) got GREAT pictures and actually comments often about how much he loves the pictures (which NEVER happens). I am SO happy I booked with Amy and now I have hundreds of gorgeous pictures that remind me of the best day ever. THANK YOU, AMY!!!

I worked with Madi by chance at a wedding a while back. I was so impressed with the wedding photos she took that day, so I recommended her to another couple of mine. I have now worked with her at numerous weddings and not only is her work incredible, but she is such a fabulous person as well. I would recommend Madi a million times over.

Hi I'm Kyle, a Chicago based wedding photographer. I am a romantic at heart and a sucker for a love stories. I strive to get to understand my couples and create images that represent them as authentically as possible.

Awarded Best of Zola
1. Kyle is a true professional - A lot of photographers are great at taking photos but bad a business (Project management, sending you reminders, dealing with difficult family members, coordinating with other vendors, etc.). Kyle has a background in business and I can tell. Feels like I would have him on a consulting project. He works on timelines with you. He gives you firm deadlines, good client management skills. 2. Kyle is good at taking photos - Yup, simple but he takes great photos. I won't get into the weeds but he definitely has some dark and moody ones but some with lighter tones. He does your traditional family portraits, fun photos on the dance floor, but he'll mix in some photojournalistic ones and ones you would expect in a magazine. He was quick to edit and send us photos after the wedding. We didn't have to wait too long. 3. Kyle is fun to work with, he's reliable. He made my wife feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the process. That's huge. It's your wedding day and you want to trust someone. Someone like Kyle. 4. He serves as more than a partner throughout the day and months leading up to the wedding than just a photographer. There is a reason he charges a bit more than some other photographers 5. Personality-wise he was a great medium and I liked it. He's not too bold that he takes over the wedding and distracts from your big day, but he's bold enough to tell people what to do and get the right shots he needs. 6. I would recommend him!

Awarded Best of Zola
Allie is absolutely amazing. From our very first zoom call, we knew we had to book Allie. Allie was extremely helpful the whole time. She was our very first vendor to book. We booked our wedding day, ensuring she was available because we didn’t want another photographer. During the planning process she made sure my vision was accomplished from location to specific pictures. She made sure we were capturing what my husband and I had envisioned and not just what was convenient to a wedding day timeline. Allie’s photography is all about joy and peace. She captured Matthew and I laughing and showing genuine love for each other. Our pictures weren’t staged, they are real. When it came to plan the pictures for the wedding, Allie made sure to have a full list from me of our must have pictures. Having her there literally brought peace to our wedding day. While getting ready Allie and I spent some time alone and she was so peaceful and so grounding, exactly what I needed. When it came time for the ceremony she captured exactly what we had talked about. We got married at a catholic church and the pictures are absolutely stunning. During the reception, I was very much stuck in the moment and Allie came up to me during sunset to ask if i wanted to go take some newlywed sunset pictures, at the moment I said no it’s fine. About 5 minutes later, Allie came back to double check I was sure I wasn’t going to regret it. I knew she was right and that I should take the time to take the pictures. They’re now my favorite pictures. I love them so so much and I can’t even imagine not having those! All thanks to her grace and patience but at the same time allowing me to be at peace with the timeline! We took dancing pictures, and fun pictures and last private dance pictures. They’re amazing. I would not ever change the decision to book Allie. We booked Allie with a second shooter. She has the best network and we absolutely loved our second shooter as much as we love Allie.

I truly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer on our wedding day. She had done my graduation pictures, so I wanted to have her do our wedding pictures due to how amazing the grad pictures came out. She is extremely proactive - she had us meet 2 times before the wedding in order to go over details and background on my husband and I. I could truly see that she genuinely cares about each of her clients and giving them the best day possible and figuring out what’s important to each couple. I really appreciate this because felt like a collaborate effort. On the day of the wedding, she had the BEST energy. Her joy, positivity and personality truly shine and radiate. I received so many comments on how much guests loved our photographer because of how lively and wonderful she was. Additionally, she was extremely creative by having us do table shots and working with the DJ to turn it into a fun game of which table was the fastest. We and our guests had such a fun time with this idea, and how we were able to get pictures with all our guests. I truly can’t recommend LaTosha enough. She is authentic, creative, radiant, talented, and so wonderful to work with. Our wedding day and pictures came out beautifully and because of her it was stress free and fun!

All our clients are a blessing & we know it’s an honor to be chosen to photograph their memorable event. We are grateful to all who has given us the privilege to work with them. We strive to tell our couple’s story & reflect their energy in each photograph. Like Elton John & Bernie Taupin, we work in two rooms: Bob is the principal photographer & handles all the logistics of our shoots. Dawn completes our vision by editing photos & making each image sing, then designs a fine art book to encapsulate the each story.

Bob & Dawn were nothing short of amazing to work with. My husband and I changed our wedding plans quite a bit, but decided to move forward with a small and intimate wedding on our original date. Bob & Dawn were so accommodating and easy to work with, they took a ton of stress off my plate. Every single picture from our day is perfect. Bob captured every moment that I was hoping for....AND MORE. I feel as if I have an intimate relationship with the two of them now, they were involved in some pretty important and special moments of my life, and I am so grateful to have met them and gotten to work with them during a stressful time.

I'm always down for anything in the dessert category and if you ever need a challenger in board games or someone to talk about tv or movies, say no more. It's this light-heartedness that I try to bring into each session with our couples. My promise as a photographer is to capture every couple with intention and care.

Peacemade shot our engagement shoot and our wedding in 2023. We could not have had a better experience with Gail and her team! Looking at their work piqued our interest and our first meeting with Gail locked in our decision. She answered all of our questions, was super responsive with our emails, and made sure we were all on the same page for the actual day of. Her and her team made taking photos and video feel organic and not staged. They were a blast to work with and we’ve recommended them to all of our friends and family. Would definitely book them again for any future shoots or events!

We're Jay and Larissa, partners, parents, and documentary wedding photographers based in Chicago and capturing weddings around the world. We've photographed love stories from Mexico to the Rocky Mountains and beyond. We've also been ranked among the world's best wedding photographers, but what matters most to us is what our couples think. Our goal is to blow your mind with photos that make your mother-in-law cry and your best friends say "holy shit!" If you want wedding photos that aren't just wedding photos, you're in the right place.

Holy sh**. Excuse my language, but It is needed to make sure that those of you reading this understand how sincerly amazing Jay and Larissa are. We have used them to photograph us personally as a couple and have used them for a wedding of family friends; and newborn pictures of my Niece, Harper. Each and every experience and photo shoot and email and text and phone call with them has been perfectly professional, fun, and reasonable. The prices are great, the people are great- and the photos are freakin perfect. Unique and fun and different- but also traditional for those seeking that. Jay and Larrisa are an amazing couple and they take seriously great photos. We will be using them for the next niece who is soon to arrive, and for engagement and wedding photos in the upcoming years. PLEASE give them a call today- they are the best!!!!!

I'm Chrissy and I'm a documentary wedding photographer with 10+ years of experience who fully believes that your life deserves to be documented truthfully. My focus at your wedding isn't to steal you away from your family and friends for hours to make "art," but to empathically capture the moments and relationships present at your wedding. Your wedding photos are the single most important wedding investment you'll make. After the day is done and over, they will be what tethers you to your memories of your day. They will be the heirlooms you'll pass down to your grandchildren to hang on walls and sit on bedsides for generations to come.

We loved Chrissy! She was fun and easy to work with, and I loved that she provided color and black/white photos. She did everything on our list, and listened to our ideas as well. Nothing felt forced or over-posed, but she was great at guiding next moves when needed. Will definitely use again for future photos.
