Hi! I’m Connie! First of all congrats!🍾 ✨Thank you for visiting my profile and considering me as your photographer! I am so excited for your big day! Here are some things you might wanna know! I’m not typical photog- I don’t just arrive on your day, leave after few hours, and deliver few months later! I’m there for all the moments leading to the big day! You can hit me up any time- we can brainstorm all the ideas, timelines, all the tiniest details! I am a fan of Pinterest vision boards, sending each other tons of messages and be open about EVERYTHING! This is your day! Let’s make it all about YOU!

I actually found her work on TikTok and reached out immediately. Her work is fresh and stunning, as She’s really good at capturing “the moment”. When I tell my other married friends how much she was, they’re shocked because she outdoes it with the communication, amount of photos, and on our day she not only stood in line for us, but dealt with our incredibly overbearing parents.

Captured Couture, LLC

Chicago, IL
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,195

So there’s no “I” in team right?! While Captured Couture is the product of years of hard work that I built from the ground up. I have an amazing team because sometimes takes more than just me. For larger events or on occasions when I am already booked one of my team members will gladly assist with your event. We’ve covered hundreds of weddings together, and have refined our editing style and way of shooting to be completely consistent. You won’t be able to tell the difference. Pinky promise! No matter where you’re planning from when it clicks, it clicks.

Jennifer and the rest of the Captured Couture team were nothing short of amazing! From our first conversation all the way to our wedding day, Jennifer was attentive, punctual, and very professional. She always responded very quickly whenever I had any questions. She was very calming and you could tell she knew exactly what she was doing. When our wedding day came, she was calm and collected, which made me feel very calm and collected. We received all of our photos a month after our wedding which I feel is a VERY fast turn around time! She truly was amazing and I can't thank her enough.

Alana Lindenfeld Photography

5.0

Chicago, IL
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $7,000

Six years of taking bright, colorful, fun wedding photos in the city has taught me how to deliver a complete gallery of your day told in an artistic, meaningful, and unobtrusive way--because I'm here to document your day, not to direct it. As much as I love taking photos (it's truly my favorite thing in the world!), I believe your wedding is about celebrating all your people being in the same place at the same time + kicking back and enjoying while I make sure all those memories are on camera.

Awarded Best of Zola
Alana Lindenfeld is literally the most incredible photographer and you should hire her right this second. My fiancé (then boyfriend) hired her to capture our engagement, and she absolutely hit it out of the park, exceeding any and all expectations. Truly. First of all, she was the absolute best person to have there during our special moment -- she managed to blend into the background so I barely noticed her during the proposal itself, while capturing literally the most amazing photos ever, and then when we transitioned into taking photos post-proposal, she was the most kind, enthusiastic, helpful, and wonderful. Her energy was infectious. (She even let me borrow her jacket to warm up because it was a chilly day, and she taught us how to spray champagne -- totally above and beyond!) Second, the photos themselves are AMAZING. I cannot believe how incredibly she captured the moment! I was in shock over how many different moments she managed to photograph (from the proposal itself to our family's reactions) and how beautiful every single photo was, without exception. They were ridiculously, insanely wonderful, and we will absolutely forever cherish them forever. To say I was glad that my fiancé found Alana would be a huge understatement. In sum, HIRE ALANA! You won't regret it. She is truly the best!!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
John was absolutely amazing! Throughout the entire process start to finish he delivered well beyond our expectations. These are moments we will treasure forever and now we have them forever in his art. To call him a (or an amazing) photographer is simply not enough he is an artist who truly cares about his passion and clients.

Chicago-based wedding and elopement photographer. I like to make my clients take off their shoes or at least get bare and honest about their love in front of my camera. I love to explore the urban environment with you and make your wedding portraits feel real and true to your life in the city. But I also take any chance I get to drag you to the woods or the beach for some barefoot wedding portraits. Aren’t we so lucky to have those right here in the city!

Awarded Best of Zola
Essi's beautiful work speaks for itself, but she is also really great to work with! She's great at giving instructions and just letting people relax in front of her camera. We hired her for an engagement session and our wedding day. We truly felt comfortable with her from the very beginning.

Studio This Is

5.0

Chicago, IL
  • Editorial style

We are a close-knit family of photographers, filmmakers, and designers with a kindred passion for storytelling. Our vision for a collective studio was dreamed up to answer the problem of frustrated brides and grooms waiting ages to see their photos or just get an email back and the problem of artists burned out on business-running because it’s impossible to do it all.

Right after we booked our church and venue, Studio This Is was next on our list because we couldn't imagine having anyone else shoot our wedding. We loved that Nancy and her team could beautifully capture both the major moments of our wedding and those little moments and reactions we might have missed. My husband and I were also drawn to the timelessness of her black & white photography. Studio This Is was one of our easiest and best vendors to work with. Nancy was always willing to work around my husband's unpredictable surgery residency schedule and even had an extra meeting with my parents to ensure that they felt comfortable before the big day. I would also recommend doing an engagement shoot before the wedding; not only do we love the pictures we have from that day, but it also gave us a chance to figure out what poses and locations worked best for us. As a couple who doesn't love taking photos, Nancy and her team made us feel completely comfortable at our engagement shoot and on our big day. Our wedding party and families loved them too! The photos from our wedding came out even more beautifully than we could have ever imagined, and we can't wait to finish putting together our album. I highly recommend Studio This Is and their associated partners (Wholehearted Films and Snapbooth Chicago) to perfectly capture your big day!

As I flipped through my wedding album, I found myself transported back to each moment, feeling every emotion all over again. Rahul's attention to detail is remarkable, and his ability to capture the essence of each moment is truly commendable. From the laughter shared during the festivities to the heartfelt exchanges between loved ones, every image is a masterpiece in itself. Working with Rahul was an absolute joy. His professionalism, creativity, and dedication were evident throughout the entire process. He effortlessly blended into the background, allowing us to be ourselves while he worked his magic behind the lens. I cannot recommend Rahul Rana Photography highly enough.

I would highly recommend her she is a very talented photographer.

Trust is the most important thing that I wanted to have in my wedding photographer, trust that they would capture every moment, trust that they would put my requests at the forefront, and trust that would deliver what we wanted. I put my trust in Mariah and she went above and beyond. She constantly checked in with me and put my concerns first. The pictures she delivered were beautiful, personal, and high quality. As every bride may mention there is always something they wish they could change about their wedding day because no day is perfect. But I wouldn't change my wedding photographer, that's non-negotiable. Stop looking and book her, she's worth it.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Love Knot Photography was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Isaac has an incredible eye and attention to detail, and it shows in the end result. I'm really glad to have had his expertise in setting up our wedding day timeline, and he delivered everything I was hoping for and much more in the final photos. His use of lighting and the natural environment is really special. The natural aesthetic of the finished photos is gorgeous. I have a large family and it was no easy task to deal with their different personalities and requests and Love Knot handled everything perfectly. The entire time throughout this process of planning and throwing a wedding Isaac has been very responsive and willing to help us with any questions we have anytime. It's an art to create photos this special, and another type of art to manage a business and respond to the individual needs of a client. And it's beautiful to see both come together so seamlessly. I will definitely be recommending Love Knot Photography to any of my family or friends who may be searching for a photographer.

She is an expert in her field and holds a Master of Fine Art in Photography from the School of Visual Arts.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do I begin, Heather is an incredible talented photographer to work with! Goes above and beyond to do a great job! Through a recommendation of a professional wedding hair stylist, we were introduced to "Heather Olker Photography". From the start, Heather's approach and her overall personality was one that aligned completely with us. You will come across several vendors during the wedding planning process that have overpowering personalities.. Heather and her team are very well organized, responsive, sweet, helpful and communicated very well with us and with our coordinator at the venue. She helped us in creating the perfect timeline for our wedding day, made us feel completely comfortable through the process. Responded promptly to all our questions and concerns. She traveled from NY to Boston to photograph our engagement photo session, and wedding photos. Which we absolutely love!!! All things being equal, my husband and I are not the most photogenic people ;) The engagement photo session (which I encourage everyone to get one, if only as an opportunity to get to know your photographer before the big day) it allowed us an opportunity to see Heather as someone who completely goes with the flow with our collective vision. There is so much attention to detail you put into your wedding day and those memories are all now fleeting. But investing in someone like Heather and her professional team for your wedding day, capturing the pictures of not just you, but more importantly to us - our family and close friends - was the wisest investment that we could have made last summer. If you're wondering whether or not to book her as your photographer for your special day, don't hesitate. There is no one better! We Highly recommend her. Thank you once again Heather "Heather Olker Photography". Much appreciated, Claudia & Greg

Hi, I'm Dominika. I'm happily married and a mama to two awesome daughters. I'm also a yogi and, admittedly, a wannabe Spaniard who would move back to Spain in a heartbeat to indulge in the simple pleasures of delicious tapas, red wine, cheese, and late dinners. Traveling and spending time with my little family brings my heart joy. Having lived and worked in Poland, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, Argentina, and Spain, has deeply inspired my will to explore more of the world and my style behind the lens to capture the essence of moments as they happen naturally and spontaneously.

We interviewed a few different photographers and had the best connection with Dominika right off the bat. We connected with her personality and really liked her style of getting the best shots without putting a filter on her photos (those filtered photos will not be timeless, ladies!). We had to reschedule our engagement photos due to weather and she was super accommodating. Then, I mistakenly invited her to our wedding photo venue for a tour when it was closed and she happily agreed to come back another day! So many people have commented on how amazing our photos are. A lot of my friends have said how much they regret not getting a better photographer and its sad to hear. The only thing that lasts from the big day are your photos, so you need to make sure you get the best photographer! Plus, her prices cannot be beat for such an incredible quality! You will be lucky to book her, so act fast!

LT² Photography did a great job at our wedding. LaDonna truly went above and beyond to make sure that we have beautiful memories of our day. I’m so grateful that she encouraged us to get prints and wall art for keepsakes and decor in our home. Since we put our picture on the wall our dining has never looked or felt better. It just feels more like us now. She communicates so well and helped us stay organized and even sent us a budget calculator to help us manage our wedding finances- we didn’t even know we needed a budget tool until we started using it. I wish we hadn’t opted out of their videography service, but she gave us a highlight video anyway! I can’t say enough good things - my husband and I are just so impressed and glad we chose to work with LT2 Photography for our wedding.

2020 was a difficult year for many reasons, but weddings were especially tough to make happen in this calendar year. But what made it even more difficult was having to plan 2 different weddings. The first being a 10 month planned wedding in Joshua Tree, California, until we had to cancel it due to COVID in November a month before it was supposed to happen. My now husband and I scrambled to reset for a smaller ceremony in Illinois instead to allow at least his family to attend and have it at his sister's home in Huntley, IL. We only had one month to reset. One of the most important things for us was photography, and although we had spent most of our savings on the cancelled wedding and we had no hope in recovering most of that back or even soon enough to help with the 2nd wedding, we knew we had to put forth the money and make the right choice for a photographer to document our day as best as possible so that our love ones who couldn't make it could experience that day through the right lens. Justin Vaughn of JVaughn Photography LLC was the right lens and so much more! He worked very closely with us via online google meetings, with a minor setback, which was we couldn't have an in person engagement photo session with him (since we were based in Wyoming and wouldn't arrive in Illinois until closer to the ceremony). Justin prefers to complete an engagement photo session, which comes already included in a lot of his packages, before the wedding to get to know us as a couple and make sure we get the shots we prefer. However even without the engagement session, through our online meetings, we were able to discuss who we are and Justin had that personal touch as though we were talking to an old friend. We established the narrative and story telling that we hoped to have for the day. Justin took detailed notes and had a list of shots to take for the day. But his improvisation and artistic eye was also excellent and he captured moments that we had never thought of that were so beautiful and amazing. In addition to the photography he also did minor videography to provide us a highlight reel, which was beyond what we expected! Throughout the day he was also very much a ninja in capturing the right moments beautifully without obstructing the views of guests present. I would recommend him for any photography need, he truly is an artist that captures the moments you wanted and so much more!

With the day just being insane. There were so many times Kay checked in on me which made me to make sure I was okay, really made me take a breath throughout the day and made me feel special. We did our engagement pictures at a brewery and she was super creative with the pictures. For our wedding day I sent her my Pinterest board and she went for all the pictures I wanted. I’m so excited to see what they all look like. Even her second shooter seemed like she was everywhere. Start to finish the whole process was so easy to work with Kay.

Rather than focusing on the latest trends, we mix color and sass with a clean style that will last the test of time. We primarily serve West Michigan, Grand Rapids, Detroit, + Chicago, but love to travel and are always down for a little adventure. We believe that our job is to make couples smile as big on their wedding day as on their 50th anniversary. It’s our legacy, so we go above and beyond.

I am Roni; A tattooed, swearing, wedding photographer that loves art and fucking hates romantic comedies. Growing up, I enjoyed writing private memoirs of getting gas at the gas station, or describing in length the way the lady at the grocery store rang out the customer in front of me; All seemingly mundane interactions that I found so genuine and fascinating. When I finally picked up a camera, I found a way to be an observer of the moments that make our time on this planet worth it - the life changing moments, the deliciously mundane moments, and everything in between. There's nothing else in the world that I'd rather do.

*Now booking for 2024!* Living my best life in suburban Maryland. I love art and being creative, so photography just seemed like the next step after being an actor for 15 years. Storytelling is a HUGE part of my life- whether it’s sitting around the dinner table recounting funny memories or looking at old photographs of my own family. Some of the best stories in the world were told without words. I am a D&D, gaming, and SQL nerd, I have a newfound love of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and I am a proud plant mom. Never been married before? I'm here to hold your hand.

Having Laura as our photographer was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! She is the kindest, most creative, understanding, detail-oriented, and dedicated human, and her professionalism is beyond compare. She made our day seamless, and we had a ROLLERCOASTER with a downpour of rain, a fallen power line and an emergency back up location switch that involved walking through a woodland path in Maine in the mud. She never wavered, and made everything seem like it was her plan in the first place! She even took extra time to look at our venue in advance of the day which was above and beyond what was expected of her. If you are thinking of hiring her, GET IN WHILE YOU CAN!!!!

My style is rooted in a editorial and documentary approach, allowing me to narrate your unique love story through timeless images that capture genuine emotions.

These intimate details hold immense significance to me. As your photographer, I bring a heartfelt and genuine perspective, ensuring that your wedding day is portrayed in a way that truly reflects you and preserves the memories you'll cherish forever.

Bright colors, the lamest jokes, floral everything, weird history, and awesome ghost stories. I'm a total mother hen / perpetual big sister and I'm mom to Max, Henry, and Penelope. I love creating. I garden. I sew. I crochet. I design ridiculously cute tee shirts. But most of all? I freaking love creating photographs. A professional photographer since 2011 (eek!), my photographs are bright, happy, and totally meant to hit you in the feels. But most of all? They're a total party!

It was such a pleasure having Lissa as the photographer for our wedding. She has taken several photos for me and my family throughout the years, and each time the photos have always been exactly what we wanted. Her photos are vibrant, full of color, and full of feeling. Lissa was sure to respond quickly to contracts, questions, and provided information in a timely manner. She listened to our desires and concerns, and when needed she provided feedback that helped us feel more comfortable and excited to work with her. She is incredibly easy to work with her. She was flexible with any photo requests that came up in the moment, and she guided and directed us for other shots she felt would turn out well when we weren't sure what to do next. She was professional and courteous to all of our wedding guests and yet always made sure to prioritize our (the bride and groom) desires and time as opposed to the rest of our wedding party. She had a happy, yet focused disposition while working with us. That focus was evident in the BEAUTIFUL pictures she took. She perfectly captured our joy that day. Turnaround time was better than expected, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We have no regrets with our choice of wedding photographer. She's amazing!
