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 is truly amazing. She is sweet, professional, personable, and a wonderful photographer. She has a way of making awkwardness disappear and has an incredible eye for photography. We had such an absolute blast with her and the photos are incredible so far!!

I am a Chicago-based wedding photographer who loves my clients. I love telling their stories with my images. When my clients look back on their wedding images, I want them to remember how it felt to be there. I want them to have beautiful images of moments they may have missed– a tear quickly swept away, a big laugh, a quick but meaningful glance. While I love classic poses and unique composition, my favorite photographs always end up being the moments that happen naturally.

Megan Saul Photography

Union, IL
  • Photojournalistic style

I resonate with intimate, honest weddings, ones that present as unique and authentic, ones with tradition but they threw that tradition out the door and made their day an authentic representation of their marriage. As an artist, I am able to document weddings while incorporating my own artistic visions and yours. I love natural light, nature, and intimate moments. It is important to me for you to trust me as photography is a collaboration.

Megan is amazing. She is a true artist. I have worked with her in various spaces, one in particular that a lot of photographers struggle with because of the lighting, and Megan came back with some of the best, most beautiful, moodiest (chef's kiss) photos I have seen.

Hi! My name is Brittany and I LOVE my job. I focus on emotionally driven images and I have the prompts/poses to pull out the magic.

Brittany of Rock 1 Photography gave me a better shoot than I ever imagined! She was able to help pose both my man and I (he HATES photos) and she actually made him have FUN-- actual fun!! Once we were in the groove of the photos, I think that my guy may have enjoyed the photos more than me! It was hard to believe we flew through a few hours of photos in what felt like 15 minutes. Now, let me tell you about outcome: I COULD NOT PICK A FAVORITE! I am so thrilled I have not only great standard shots, but also candid photos to treasure for a lifetime! Brittany was so great about trying my ideas and was extremely helpful in giving us unique ideas. I HIGHLY recommend Brittany, but only if you want to have a fun, laughs, and a surplus of phenomenal pics!

I'm an extroverted introvert. Being a wedding photographer for fifteen years will do this to you! I have been mindfully crafting my approach to serving couples for quite some time now. I'm an easy going soul, who loves to capture happiness and joy in genuine ways. I'm a gentle guide towards ideal photographs for most folks who find being in front of the camera stressful. I'm a very candid individual who can relate to a lot of differen experiences folks go through in life. I'm always eager to listen carefully to my clients when they share about themselves. It's those fine details that help me do a fantastic job on your wedding day!

Awarded Best of Zola
Ez was fantastic to work with for the wedding day. We met with them prior to a few times to discuss what the day itself would be like and what our hopes were. When the day arrived, Ez was there early and ready to go. They blended seamlessly into the guests of our wedding to get candid photos of people as well as beautiful clear shots of my husband and I. There was not a missed moment in all of the photos taken, including a few of my husband with his childhood pup who passed away not long after the event. After the wedding, we received our photos quickly and every single one was perfect. We ordered a bunch of different images to have printed for family and around our home. In all of the photos, the colors pop and everything is so vibrant. I'm beyond happy with Ez as our photographer and continue to recommend them to anyone looking.

When we hired JVaughn Photography we knew we were getting an amazing photographer but we had no idea we would be getting such an amazing person and friend out of it too! Justin is the absolute sweetest person we have had the honor of meeting and he has such a great eye to make our vision come to life! He made sure to have a meeting with us to get to know us and understand the vibe we wanted for our photos and he kept constant communication throughout the entire process to make sure all the bases were covered and he had a clear understanding of the timeframe and game plan. He was the one vendor we NEVER had to worry about. After he gave us our engagement photos, everyone knew he was the perfect photographer for us. Once the wedding day came, the entire bridal party and guests could not stop raving about how much they loved him! He gives clear direction on how to pose, what to do with your hands, how to fix your face, and knows how to use lighting. One of our biggest concerns when finding a photographer is having someone know how to use lighting because more often than not either I get lost in the light or my fiancé gets lost since our complexions are so far from each other. Thankfully Justin knew exactly how to make it all work out! He also stuck to the game plan and made sure none of those important shots are missed but he was also flexible enough to allow us to add in and change some of that game plan. I can honestly sit here and say that thanks to JVaughn Photography, our big day was absolutely perfect (even during covid). We already told him to get ready for our maternity photos, gender reveal, baby shower, and family portraits. I will forever recommend him to EVERYONE.

I believe you can't stand behind your business unless you can say you fully understand it – and 24 years of marriage is proof that I KNOW LOVE. I set out to capture the essence of love when I started Parker Photography in 2018. I have been married to my best friend for the last 24 years, and people who meet us swear we are newlyweds. We still act like lovestruck teenagers with each other, that same feeling we get from every newly engaged couple that we meet. We know where our couples are coming from and what they hope to capture in their engagement sessions and on their wedding day, and we make it effortless for them to achieve their goals.

Hi, Im Carol DeAnda, born and raised in the southwest suburbs and now living in Lake in the Hills Illinois, with my studio in downtown Algonquin. I have always been the one with the camera since grade school, but it wasn't until high school I realized that this could be my calling. After high school, I attended Harrington College of Design for the Digital photography program and started on my path to becoming a professional photographer. I am a PPA member and CPP (Certified Professional Photographer) and hold the Master Wedding Photographer degree from PPA, as well as a member of The Wedding Equality Alliance.

Carol and her team are ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL when it comes to photography! The work is second-to-none, the professionalism is always consistent, and everyone is always so friendly! :) I have been working alongside Carol at weddings for several years now. As a DJ, it can be tough to communicate with vendors and make sure everyone is always ready to go. This is definitely not the case with Carol. I'm able to find her in a moment's notice and she's ready to capture those precious moments in an instant! Not to mention, her genuine love for her clients. Each and every couple that she works for she gives her all - and that not only shows on the day of an event, but also in her work. Carol and her team edit and produce SOME OF THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHY WORK I HAVE EVER SEEN. Seriously. If you haven't checked out her portfolio, do it now. Carol has an eye for not only capturing your ideas, but also the tiny details that no one else would ever think about. Do yourself a favor a book with Carol and her team.

    I’m a wedding + lifestyle photographer and I’m so excited for the chance to get to know you all! I was raised in a small town an hour west of Chicago and I grew up in a rather large family of six boys and only one sister! It's shocking I turned out as “girlie” as I am. My love for the arts came from my parents and my love for photography was a gift from the Lord. It was born out of a painful portion of my childhood, but the Lord used photography to mend and heal me. Photography has been my therapy and I’ve found peace and tranquility behind my camera.

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.

When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving and laughing. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I got you!

    Lacie did our engagement and wedding pictures, and I can not recommend her enough! As a bride I knew I wanted a photographer that was easy to talk to/work with, wasn’t afraid to try new things, suggest new ideas and would be able to have a little fun in the process; Lacie was just that! Before the wedding, I knew I wanted a variety of different poses. To make sure I got ever pose I wanted, she made a album, shared it with me, and went through it the big day (what a genius idea)! Shortly after our wedding, we had several friends and family members compliment how impressed they were of her. From the time she got to the venue to the time she left, she was always on the move getting the best shot and making sure everything ran smoothly! Her and her team were a huge part in making our big day everything we had imagined!

Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

    I was so pleased to work with OLAS. When I got engaged I had several photographers in mind and felt very discouraged when I found out they were all booked for my wedding day. I came across OLAS online and was hesitant to use a "photography company" but they blew my expectations out of the water. They were so responsive, so communicative. I felt like it was just me they were working with. The best part was picking out the photographer I wanted and she was a dream fit. We had so much in common, she was easy going but she helped keep us right on schedule the day of the wedding and ensured that I got all the special moments captured that I wanted to. And the photos are stunning. I spent an entire day just looking at them over and over, reliving the most perfect day ever! Thank you OLAS and Dana for capturing moments that will live on forever. You guys are the best.

    You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

I have been drawn to the camera since I was young, but becoming a father has really shown me the magic behind capturing the most candid and beautiful moments of our lives. I started my journey into professional photography officially in the summer of 2019 and received my Bachelors of Fine Arts degree with honors in Digital Photography in the spring of 2022. I absolutely love what I do and look forward to every new experience and opportunity this journey takes me on!

    Elliot is a great photographer! Very easy to work with and very accommodating to all photo requests. He does a great job at staying on schedule and goes above and beyond what is requested; even in the pouring rain. He recently took photos for our wedding and all of our guests were very impressed with how quick he moves and how professional he is to work with. We also got our photos 3 days after our wedding!

She has an incredible knack for finding beauty in the ordinary and turning it into something extraordinary. Every photo she took tells a story, and we are beyond thrilled to relive our special day through her lens. But the most incredible part of working with Mariah is that she's not just our photographer; she's become a cherished friend. Her warmth, kindness, and genuine care for us as a couple go beyond anything we could have ever asked for. We feel truly honored that she was the one to document our wedding day.

The photos the Amative Creative team delivered are straight out of a wedding catalogue--her product matched our vision exactly. She provided 2,000 photos within six months and the wait was totally worth it. Not only did Andrea take our engagement and wedding photos, but she connected us with a photographer while we were on our honeymoon in Paris to take additional photos that Andrea then edited and delivered within two days.

    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!

Her perfectionisn is wonderful and she lived up to every expectation. We couldn't have been happier with the results.

    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.

    My name is Jana Blue and I've been photographing weddings for 10 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
    From start to finish, Jana made our wedding day in Chicago feel so special and unique. My partner and I spent 3 hours with Jana, who so graciously accommodated our numerous photo locations across Chicago in such a beautiful way! We felt very taken care of by Jana and her team and cannot recommend her enough. Not only does she listen to her couples, she also provides confidence and mastery which makes you feel like getting your photos taken should be part of your everyday life. Thank you Jana - we will hold on to these photos dearly forever! Maria and De'Sean

    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.

    I have to say that Jennifer and her assistant will forever be our Wedding Day Heroes. They arrived on time, they were professional from start to finish, and so kind to me and my family. I'm pretty sure they overheard my wedding day meltdown (I hope not) but they kept on pushing and made the whole day feel special. We didn't have a wedding party and I totally forgot about bustling my gown so Jennifer and her assistant got down on their hands and knees in the blistering heat in the Garden of my ceremony site and bustled my 15 button bustle. #weddinddayheros! At the reception they sat amongst our friends and family and fit right in. It was awesome. Their presence was so seamless, they are so genuine. If you feel like you might need a wedding day hero Jennifer and Captured Couture is definitely the way to go. She was able to provide us with a site with specific pictures of our choosing to share with out guest via a secure link. Our pictures came out beautifully. The album and metal prints we also gorgeous. Great quality. ENGAGEMENT SESSION/INITIAL MEETING REVIEW Jennifer is amazing. My partner and I discovered Captured Couture by looking for photographers who had done wedding at our venue (The Whitney-Detroit) and we couldn't be more excited to have Jennifer capture our wedding day. Jennifer is the best and I can't stress that enough. WE are having a small/intimate wedding and she came prepared with different packages to offer us based on what we asked for and our budget. We saw some of her work at our first meeting and her work was really good-a lot better than other work we'd seen from other photographers. My fiance, who is usually a hard sell, was sold on having Jennifer as our wedding photographer and so was I. During the next few months we worked with Jennifer to schedule our engagement session. We are very busy, and the weather was not working with us but luckily Jennifer was very accommodating. Our engagement shoot went off without a hitch. My partner and I are kind of camera shy but Jennifer made us feel like naturals and our pictures came out great. Before we left the shoot she showed us one of the pictures and we were in amazed at how incredible the picture looked. Jennifer is the BOMB.COM

Some highlights: - Strong communication in the months leading up to the wedding, always promptly replying to emails - His gallery speaks for itself but he clearly has a good artistic vision and excellent editing skills with many years of experience - Did some FILM photography as well!!! My favorite photos of the day were captured on film and had such a gorgeous vintage vibe that digital would never be able to capture. - Captured everything we could have possibly wanted, was good at posing us for posed photos but also got so many special candid moments Most importantly, Andrew has such a relaxed, positive, and calming vibe that was so important to us on our big day. I have been in weddings where the photographer is way too intense and barking orders at everyone, rushing people, and stressing out the bride and groom - I am so glad that was not the case with him. I could not recommend his services enough - it is well worth every penny.

She was very communicative and transparent throughout the entire process - and provided invaluable scheduling feedback and ideas as we planned our special day. Our package included an engagement shoot which set the tone for how to pose naturally, and work with the camera - if you’re looking to book, I’d recommend spending the money and getting this practice round a head of the wedding day. Despite a rainy start on our Wedding Day and game-time changes Laura’s cool, calm and collected demeanor leveled the energy in the room. We got brilliant indoor first look shots we didn’t expect - she styled the airbnb for use - and then when the rain subsided we were able to go on as planned outside.

    As soon as I came across Wendy’s portfolio, I knew she was the photographer for us. When I looked at the photos of couples she had previously photographed, they all had their own unique style. When we sat down with Wendy for our first meeting, it felt like less of a “meeting”, and more like a conversation with an old friend. Yes, she focused on the details of our big day and what that would look like… but even more she focused on getting to know us as a couple. Our engagement photos turned out so beautiful and true to us, I knew we made the right decision. Throughout our wedding day she was a huge source of comfort and calmness. The time we spent with her that day was fun, relaxing, and memorable. The photos we received were absolutely stunning and we couldn’t be happier. Since we’re not planning on getting married again any time soon (haha!) we’ve found other ways to continue to work with Wendy. I’ve been a bridesmaid in multiple “Wendy weddings” and have also hired her to do maternity and family photos for us. Each of those experiences have been just as wonderful. She’s top notch!

My gays, weirdos, ADHDers, D&D players- I'm your girl. Let's connect over our shared passions or fandoms- I'm a lover of all things spooky, Halloween, books, cats, oat milk lattes, Star Wars, and continuing education courses.

    She was absolutely wonderful. As the maid of honor, you typically don’t notice the photographer BUT she went above and beyond. She knew the bride and I were best friends and made every effort to capture those special moments and she did. I cannot thank her enough for what she captured on my best friends big day.

    I started off only wanting to take photos and videos of my friends. Now it seems like my passion has gone full circle and my clients have become my friends. Whether photographing parties or shooting short films, it is my goal as a professional artist, to capture those emotions, and present beautiful memories that will last forever. My ultimate reward will come years later—when you look at your photographs , videos and those memories once again come to life.

    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.
