Springfield, IL
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Chicago, IL

Hi, I’m Teri! I’m a Chicago based Wedding Photographer. I approach my photography as an artistic craft. I strive to create images that are emotional and striking. My life’s work is photographing people’s most joyous moments—preserving feelings and details that may otherwise be lost. I am obsessed with creating playful compositions, capturing fleeting moments that make the most treasured memories come alive again. The couples I work with place immense trust in me and it is my honor to create art for them.

Teri was amazing, she got amazing posed and candid photos of our day and the turn around time for our pictures was very quick! She was as even able to work with the poor weather we had to get beautiful fog filled pictures and take advantage of the blue cast at sunset! Would highly recommend her to any and everyone!

Alaura Creative

5.0

Chicago, IL
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,900

My name is Alaura, and I am a Chicago-based photographer with a love of great art, true stories, and old-school glamour. I believe in romanticizing everyday life for the joy of it. For me, that means fine teacups on a Wednesday, bouquets for no reason, and a home full of antiques. This also translates to my photography style!

We loved Alaura’s work so so so much. First She was super punctual and professional. She made sure to capture every detail and never stopped taking pictures which to me was awesome. She also had the greatest ideas of photos for us. I consider myself a very shy person and I usually don’t enjoy when the spotlight is on me. But with Alaura it felt super easy and natural and I got to enjoy every part of this process. She just encourage us to be ourselves and the result of that was amazing. Thank you so so so much Alaura for all your beautiful and amazing work !!

Chicago, IL
  • Fine art style

I made a conscious decision early on in my career that I wanted to LOVE what I do and do what I love. With a bachelor’s degree in graphic design and photography you could say I’m one of the few that stuck with my major and still love it to this day. I’m a helpless romantic, a wife, a mother, a worldwide traveler a marathon runner and a wedding photographer. Deciding who will bring your memories to life is one of your most important ones. When the whirlwind and excitement of the day is over, beautifully captured images will be what help you revisit the romance, emotion and spirit of all of those little moments.

Christine was an absolute dream to work with! Shortly after booking Christine for our November 2, 2019 wedding we scheduled our engagement shoot with her - during the shoot we knew we hit the jackpot. Christine was calm, cool, and so easy to be around - she provided super easy direction and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We couldn't wait to spend our wedding day with her! Christine was incredibly organized throughout our planning process. Leading up to the wedding day she created a very thorough timeline for the day - which was necessary given the size of our bridal party and families and the logistics of the day. Everything ran so smoothly on wedding day and Christine captured all the shots we wanted - our families and bridal party loved working with her too. And, of course, our photos are absolutely stunning! We couldn't be happier with our experience - thank you, Christine!!

I'm just a suburban girl who decided to turn her dreams into a reality. I'm all about building relationships and connections. After all, that's what wedding photography is all about. I do this job every weekend because I'm one of those people that is obsessed with pictures. Not just for a living, but for myself. I understand the value in photography. I do this for people who are just like me. For the ones who cherish those photos hanging on the walls. The photos still in that purple glitter album from 2002 of you and your friends in Limited Too. Those memories are all we have from the anchors that built us. Photos are proof that we have lived

Lauryn is honestly amazing - she is so organized and on top of everything there is no way our wedding could have gone on without her - not to mention the sneak peek/blog post she posted mere days after the wedding are absolutely STUNNING I am so excited to see the rest of the photos but am already THRILLED with what she has provided for me. She is so easy to communicate and work with and her second shooter, Chelsea was also a dream! I loved having them there as well as my now husband and the rest of our bridal party/families.

Chicago, IL
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,200

I'm a former educator turned full-time photographer. I started Janet D Photography to combine my creative eye with my love for working with people. I want to capture your love story through my images! I specialize in wedding and lifestyle photography, and I strive to capture memories with a light, fun, and modern photo style. I'd love to hear from you!

Where to begin.. From day one, I knew Janet would be capturing our wedding day. Her portfolio is impressive but her knowledge and professionalism is what truly takes the cake. Not only did she help me but when my mom had questions regarding ‘getting ready’ photos, Janet assisted my mom personally and helped answer any questions she had. When COVID hit, Janet was sympathetic and understanding. She checked on me numerous times after our initial postponement. When we realized our wedding was about to be postponed for a second time, we decided to have a small ceremony at our home. Janet jumped at the idea, gave us additional suggestions and recommendations and literally was there every single step of the way. Janet and Jeff were professional and exceeded any expectations we had for our unconventional day. They were there at every moment, ready to capture shots I never would have expected or thought of. I promise, you will not regret having Janet as your photographer. She truly was the best decision we made in our wedding planning process. We cannot wait for Janet and Jeff to be there with us for our reception in the future!

Hi, I’m Bri! I can drink margaritas like it's my job and get down with my bad self to some old school hip-hop. I own too many house plants and I almost always have a messy bun on top of my head. My love languages are physical touch and quality time. I dance a lot in my kitchen whether it be alone, in front of people or for no reason at all. I value honesty and communication above all else so therefore I have a soft spot for people who speak their mind. The way I choose to live my life is simple, by being present in everything I do. This is what I believe to be the key to a happy life.

As a DJ I get to work with a lot of photographers and Bri Short is at the top of my list. I highly recommend!

M28 Photography & Films

Chicago, IL
  • Fine art style

I’m all about art and creativity. I absolutely love photography and capturing moments for families and couples. It means a lot to have people appreciate your work and cherish it because it means a lot to them. It’s also cool to have clients who not only enjoy my work with M28 but also become a fan of my own personal projects. I am an activist in every sense of the word. I advocate for issues that speak out against injustices and inequality in an attempt to make the world better for our children.

The Summerset team is the warmest and most professional team. We were nervous about finding a photographer we felt comfortable with, since my husband and I are on the shy side when it comes to photos. Since meeting Mack at a wedding event, we were instantly drawn to working with them. Since then, each person from their team that we worked with was incredible. The process starts off with a call where they get to know you and based on what you are looking for and wanting, they match you with a photographer that is a good fit. And they did such a great job matching us. We worked with Dominique as our lead photographer and had so much fun with her at our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. For our wedding we worked with Dominique and Marcus for photography and Mack as our content creator. They made us feel comfortable and made sure we had fun throughout our wedding. Not only that, but they brought incredible energy. As an added challenge for them, we also have incredibly camara shy family memebers that they were able to take out of their shells and made incredibly comfortable. After spending just few minutes with the team, us and our families were comfortable posing and taking photos, as they almost make you forget there is a camara there. It has only been a few days and because we had the content creator package, we already got an amazing video and previews of our photos. We have no doubt all of our photos will be incredible, and the videos that were captured were so special. They were able to find moments for us to connect with one another in the midst of a lot of activity. Could not recommend them enough.

Chicago, IL

I never take lightly the incredibly humbling role which my clients entrust me to. It is my job to not only document once-in-a-lifetime moments and emotions but to do so in an artful and romantic manner. My favorite is gallery delivery day when my clients and their families are able to relive the sentiment they felt on the wedding day! Gallery delivery day often results in joyful, tearful calls of thanks and this is the most rewarding feeling in the world!

The photos and video we received from Bonphotage were everything we hoped they would be and more. They will certainly be shared and hung on our walls for years to come. The photographers and videographer were extremely friendly and helpful, offering amazing guidance on how to get the best shots and angles. Ultimately they captured the magic of the day so well that looking at the photos is like reliving the wedding all over again! The finished product was worth every penny we paid.

Hello there! I'm Andrea, owner of Amative Creative, and every weekend we're so blessed to be able to tell the love stories of so many amazing couples. Like many others in this industry might say, we simply adore weddings. But what makes us a little different is our entire brand is centered around telling love stories specifically curated to reflect your vision and aesthetic. "Amative" means to be prone to love, so as you can see, we want nothing more than to tell your love story! But what makes us truly unique is that we understand every love story looks different. And we personalize every aspect of how we document your wedding day!

Awarded Best of Zola
It gives me no pleasure giving Andrea a less than perfect review, because her pictures are indeed gorgeous and she is a very talented editor and artist, and I do love my photos. With that, there were some things during the process I wish were more transparent and I thought others should be informed. She does not honor her contract at all/it needs to be updated. My signed contract stated I’d receive min 3 previews within 3 days of my wedding. I waited a full week until contacting her; she stated that the contract was “old” and didn’t account for editing…again so update it. OR at the very least admit and let me know you will not be meeting the terms of the agreement and tell me when I can expect them (she didn’t). I had no reason to believe I wouldn’t get previews for over 2 weeks and it was incredibly disappointing/frustrating. Additionally, the photos she chose to include were not what I’d hoped, I had several pictures of my dj but zero of my family…like why? Additionally, 3 days before my wedding she texted me asking if it was okay for her to send someone else to do my wedding. Now, I am understanding of illness and family issues but if you really needed to sub my wedding, call me and and explain. But to put the decision on a CLIENT and ask if they are okay with you not coming as expected put me in a tough position, not to mention a stress I didn’t need before my wedding. The contract also stated I’d get the full gallery by the one month mark, and after I didn’t get the previews until almost then, I knew that timeline was laughable. I was provided no communication as to when I might expect them just that she was “unusually” busy (clearly overbooked, admitting 5 weddings a weekend, etc) Or, you can stalk her IG stories for her queue but that just shows you where you are in line, not when you can expect anything. Eventually I received my photos 16weeks after my wedding. While they were absolutely stunning, I was still a little upset about little details ignored (leaving scratches when I specifically asked to have them concealed out) or photos that were only provided in black and white, when I wanted color or the option for both. I’ll wrap up by saying yes her photos are amazing but go in aware deadlines won’t be met or communicated and you’re not guaranteed to actually have Andrea herself (I’m sure her whole team is amazing, shout out to Jo!) it’s clear anyone on her team is interchangeable. If you’re not bothered by any of that she’s amazing!

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Awarded Best of Zola
Grace was just amazing. For a day that was overwhelming and very stressful, I cannot thank her enough for her calm and kindness. My now husband and I are usually not "photo people", as we tend to be more introverts than anything else, and she went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Her professionalism and guidance during the shoot can be described as more than stellar. I will definitely recommend her to all of my friends who will be getting married soon. During all the chaos, I was extremely thankful to have chosen her as our photographer.

What started out as a hobby, evolved into a great passion. With a camera on hand for every event, I spent my lunch money as a young kid developing films at the photo store. I became so fond of capturing as many organic moments as I can in photographs and fell in love with the idea of telling people's stories in images rather than words. I started venturing into professional photography right after my own wedding to my high school sweetheart, Erick, which was back in 2014. I LOVE everything wedding-related. My favorite to photographs are the wedding details, the bride and groom portraits and anything that will make me either cry or laugh!

Michelle is fabulous and super detail-oriented. I was so impressed with the amount of preparation she put in to make sure it was a great experience for us.

I am driven to capture wedding days in a purposefully artful, poetic, way – softly directing my couples into the most beautiful light and choosing compositions that highlight their love story. It is vital to give couples the time and encouragement to let go and be themselves. Couples wedding photos should feel like art – pieces they will hang on their walls and look at with awe. My work is heavily influenced by the romance and evocative emotion expressed in a ballet which leads me to create photographs that artfully express the feeling of ones wedding day through the play of movement and light.

He has an eye for things that most people wouldn't have seen. I've had the pleasure of getting to work with him several times now and he's so kind and has such a calming presence which is exactly what you want from your wedding photographer/videographer! I'm currently helping my sister plan her wedding and when she got engaged he was the first vendor I sent to her to look at. She was blown away, as I knew she would be, by his work and loved how his wedding videos felt so natural, candid, and also didn't look like every other wedding video. His ability to tell a story both in photograph and video is remarkable. As a wedding photographer, if I had to redo my wedding day, I would without a doubt have Steve there to capture it.

A POET WITH A CAMERA IN HER HAND: I’m Ayla — pronounced “eye-luh”, like “I love you” — and I never quite grew out of seeing things the way I did as a kid: heart first, bright eyed, curious about everything and particularly drawn to movement and pretty light. My travels, my writing (certified art school kid), and my big family have brought me from that inquisitive, emotional child to the woman I am today: knee deep in wonder & riverbeds, usually mid-laugh, and so full of gratitude for my life I can hardly contain it to language.

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I were getting married and chose Ayla as our photographer. From the first messages, she was very responsive and polite. She was a dream to work with. She put all our worries to rest. We talked through things and she offered us a lot of different ideas and options. The day of the wedding, she met us at the venue in Evergreen, Colorado and walked us through what the game plan was. With it being our wedding day, our minds were elsewhere. She took the lead and set us up for the first look. During the ceremony, she was very discreet and professional. After the ceremony, she did the family and couples photos. After that, we headed off to do our photos. The way she posed us and directed us, was very professional and easy. The next morning, we received a message from Ayla telling us to check our email. She gave us the first 12 photos as a sneak peak and we fell in love. She is so good at what she does and we would highly recommend her to anyone in need of photography services.

Hey there! Kataryna here. Thanks for checking out my work. I never thought that I would have the opportunity to meet you and everyone else that I have throughout my photography journey. I started photography in high school and fell in love with all that my camera and I could do. In my college years at the University of Iowa, I was able to strengthen my photography skills by taking an internship with a wedding company. Shortly after graduation, I moved back to the Chicago suburbs and began growing my business. A few years later, and I am extremely grateful for everything I have been able to accomplish. ​

Kat and her team were such a pleasure to work with and her pictures are beyond beautiful. I had very specific requests for my pictures and Kat took time to listen and made my vision and dreams come true. We will 100% be working with Kat again!

She has the most beautiful soul and she’s so outgoing and her laughter is contagious. Anyways, beyond all these amazing qualities her talent is beyond perfection. Our family session was incredible and I’ve never loved a session more. We booked her for our big wedding day as well as she did a Boudoir session with me to surprise my soon to be hubby. Her photos are elegant, moody, fun, breath taking and so much more. The comfort she brings during your session is something I’ve never had. She’s able to pose you just right, boost your confidence when you’re feeling low, and she talks you through her ideas and she’s a perfectionist when it comes to her editing.

I am a caffeine addict who never sleeps. I love a good thunderstorm and playing Candy Crush for the brain breaks. I adore all kinds of dogs, but I have a special love for German Shepherds. My all-time favorite thing is to sit by the fire with a glass of good cabernet or watch the ocean waves hit the beach. I love to garden and to build things (but I let my husband to finish all my projects LOL). I enjoy good food and will likely refer to a stand up comedy routine at least once in a conversation. I am also a football mom, lacrosse mom and basketball mom. Wife to a very understanding husband and emotional support person for my big puppies.

There’s something to be said about understanding another person. Sometimes you experience it in conversation. You know the feeling: interactions that leave you and that other person thinking, wow; we just said the Exact. Same. Thing. But if you’re lucky it’ll go deeper; understanding that person so much that you begin to anticipate what they may say or do. It's what makes our partnership so strong. As brothers, we understand each other, and we feel it shows in our work. But our greatest joy comes from sharing our work with you. To have all the memories of your day come flooding back to you in waves is magical, and it never gets old.

We are one of the lucky one's. No matter how excited one might be about celebrating the best day of your life, it can still be rather stressful and intimidating to have someone taking pictures of you at every turn. Yes I know that's the whole point in hiring a Photography... but it can be stressful nonetheless. However, these guys has a way of taking the stress out of the process. Breighton & Basette are the most personable people that I've ever met! They made my wife and I feel totally comfortable just being ourselves while they kind of faded off into the background but somehow managed to capture the most absolute AMAZING shots of us! We are so happy that Breighton & Basette had our date available. Booking them was the second best decision I made for my wedding, the best decision was choosing my wife, of course. (I hope everyone understands why I had to explain that, lol!) But seriously if you want to guarantee that your special day is captured perfectly, book Breighton & Basette! You will be so happy you did and when it's all said and done you can join us and others as one of the "Lucky One's".

I have lived in Boston, Paris, and New York City, and am now lucky enough to call Charleston home, while also still traveling the world for my clients.

At the end of the day, all we have are the stories told about us and the ones we write about ourselves. I love writing about the musings of life and sharing my thoughts with others in conversation and social media posts. I constantly document my own life so I don't forget the big or little moments. Every time I travel to somewhere new I love connecting with those who cross my path, and yet I equally love coming home to my dog. TLDR: sentimental soul, avid movie goer, mental health advocate, and decent chocolate chip cookie maker.

where do i even begin? we were so blessed to have Rachael with us on our special day. we hired Carissa for our wedding photography & chose to have her bring an extra shooter with & BOOM! we somehow got blessed with Rachael as our bonus. i could go on about everything from her amazing personality, the positivity & happiness absolutely exuding from her at all times, her killer taste in music, the sheer talent that is her photography skills (both behind the camera & assisting in posing with such ease), to the way she somehow makes it feel like an old friend is with you every step of your wedding day (even if it’s the first day you met her), wrapping you in her beautiful scarf to keep you warm between photos & the ceremony because you were shivering, & is even willing to join your friends and family on the dance floor amidst capturing the most amazing memories for you. never did i feel rushed, if anything she helped me keep my cool about my timeline & helped ease so much of my anxiety about it. okay, i know what you’re thinking, “amy this seems like an excessive rant for a wedding photographer.” BUT YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND!! our photography was one part of our wedding we were willing to splurge on, & if i hadn’t decided we absolutely needed a second photographer for the day then i would have never been absolutely blessed with Rachael. not only did she capture so many of our posed moments, but more importantly the candid moments that i was too busy spinning around like a maniac to notice & are now some of my favorite pictures. our photographers are one part of our day that i will FOREVER absolutely rave about to everyone & always recommend to future brides because i want them to be able to experience the same beautiful souls & genuinely perfect encounter i got that day. Rachael is the kind of person you want to reach out to when you’re thinking about future photoshoots, & who makes you want to do photoshoots just for an excuse to get to experience both her presence & her absolute talent again. if you were debating hiring Rachael, PLEASE don’t second guess it. you will NOT be disappointed. (did i mention the photos she delivered are simply out of this freakin’ world?! because OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS!)

Hi there, my name is Jen El-Haddad! I am the lead photographer and owner of "Jennifer Mary Photography". I specialize in lifestyle photography and portraits! I started this business almost a decade ago, as a Photography/Computer Digital Imagery student at Shepherd University (Go Rams!) with a dream to share the artistic joy with others. However, life seemed to have a different plan. I slowly moved into the corporate world and lost touch with my creative side. After lots of soul searching and a 7-year hiatus, I found my love for photography (again.

Jen was amazing! Prior to our wedding we booked our engagement photos with Jen, so we could practice poses. I had a very particular lighting style, and Jen listened to my wishes and used the most amazing light angles and edited the photos in the was I had asked for. Prior to the wedding we had phone calls and meetings to make sure we had a set list of the photos I wanted, so that the day of nothing would be missed and it was stress free. Wedding day Jen captured every moment from getting ready, to the ceremony, family portraits, couples photos and even dances at the reception. Jen is kind, caring, respectful and professional. She was truly a joy to work with and I am in love with my wedding photos! I highly recommend booking your wedding, engagement or any pictures with this lovely photographer!

Fueled by equal parts strong coffee and French 75's, I spend my days capturing the kinds images that convey distinctive emotion through intentional moments and create elevated images you'll treasure for a lifetime. I showcase your story and love in an exceptional gracious way. I believe in real moments, heartfelt conversations, love stories that grow stronger through the storms and the kind of joy that can be found in the simplest of moments. When I'm not tearing up during the vows you'll find me in the kitchen whipping up a new recipe, dancing to Sinatra with my husband, or snuggling with my mini me.

Working with Rohana was one of the best experiences. She was fun, professional, hilarious, and prepared. Her photos were incredible. She was an essential aspect of the wedding team.

When we had our engagement session that assured us that we chose the right photographer for our day. The images we received from our session were just beautiful and really captured our love for one another. Everything leading up to our wedding was wonderful and she was extremely helpful as we ran into some hiccups with other vendors and she was there to help us find someone just as amazing. The day of our wedding was better than we could have dreamed. Our vendor team was amazing, Cassandra took care of everything and some, she keep us on our timeline, made the day so enjoyable but also took charge so I wouldn't be stressed out. She is so talented and not only an amazing photographer, but a life long friend now.

I have studied fine art photography long before I ever started taking portraits of other people and shooting weddings. Fine art photography was my beginning, creating conceptual and authentic art that spoke to me and told my story was what I started with and then I started blurring that line between fine art and documentary. I started documenting other people and their lives in the same way that I created my own work intended for shows and galleries. That is how I came to the style that I shoot now, still blending the two parts of my life.
