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!

Wheaton, IL
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,490

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Anders did an absolutely beautiful job on both our engagement and wedding pictures. We couldn't have asked for anything more. He was clear in his communication, understood our vision, and made us both feel comfortable and relaxed. The photos turned our so beautifully. Couldn't recommend him more!

Batavia, IL
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,000

I captured my first wedding in August of 2018, it was the day I fell head over heels in love with wedding photography. It's all about capturing the love story for me..the feels from beginning to end. When you book with AGS, you're signing on for an adventure. Your engagement session is a celebration full of us getting to know one another, lots of laughter, and having fun! As your wedding nears closer AGS will help with your timeline, connect with your vendors ( or introduce you to some of the best) and help plan out the perfect photo locations, along with any other needs to create the perfect day.

So easy to work with. Pictures turned out so perfect. Not to mention she’s so kind and full of positivity! Would highly recommend!

Kate Kaplan Photography

Eola, IL
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000

I work to craft images about connection - photographs that have warmth & tell a story about the love you share as a couple or as a family. I believe your wedding photos should stand the test of time. You want to feel completely confident that your story is going to be captured in a way that is beautiful and true to who you are as a couple. Not only that but we should probably have some fun along the way! I feel so honored to play a small part in your best day ever. I am here to help you enjoy this season of your life and have you feel well taken care of from day one.

Awarded Best of Zola
I knew my husband and I needed to at least talk to Kate when I saw a post of hers on Instagram from our reception venue. And then I read the caption on the photo, which was all about the organic moments and crafting a story based on what the couple values and wants to include. My husband and I knew that the first half of our wedding day would be chaotic, spread out across multiple locations and fleeting. Not every photo on the "photo checklist" was possible for us -- and we were OKAY with that. Kate heard us and went along for the ride with us in more ways than one. When we were out of a vehicle the day before our engagement session, Kate offered as much availability as she could. During our ceremony and reception, she captured sweet, posed moments and ones I didn't think had been documented. Her photojournalistic style that enhances natural colors and avoids filters was exactly what we were looking for, and we got it. The only thing I wish I had asked more directly about was the amount of time "posed" family photos would take. We knew we wanted certain photos together AND to enjoy our cocktail hour, and I wish we had budgeted our time accordingly and been more vocal with Kate about it.

Rachel Mae Photography

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

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

As a fellow vendor, I have worked with Rachel and her team on several weddings and events. It is always a joy to work alongside her. I can put my full confidence in her to capture all of the details of that day, big and small, that the bride, groom and their families have spent months to plan and design. It is not common to see your photographer crouching down or scaling up to get that perfect perspective but Rachel does! She calmly and professionally helps to manage the bridal party and family during photo sessions. Rachel uses professional, engaging prompts to help get people in just the right mood and position to capture the moment. After each event I wait eagerly for her to deliver the galleries because looking through the hundreds of photos is like experiencing the joy of the day all over again! Rachel's style of curating and capturing the moment for her clients is exquisite and timeless. Just look through her galleries - You can feel the emotion of the moment and wish you could be right there, too! If you're looking for a photographer who has a modern yet timeless style and is professional, timely and fun to work with you've found the best fit for you.

The booking process was so seamlessly easy. Kia was so friendly and attentive to every need we had. On the day of everything was orderly, we asked her to stay a bit longer last minute and she happily agreed. On top of it all we got our gallery 3 days after our wedding! Would absolutely be requesting her services again!

Jill Tiongco Photography

5.0

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.

ALL THE STARS AND MORE!! Jill is honestly THE BEST. We used Jill for our engagement photos and our wedding, both in Chicago. From beginning to end, Jill's professionalism, attention to detail, overall passion behind the lens, and ambition to provide quality photos to clients was prevalent. With so many locations for shoots in Chicago, Jill helped us talk through options, and provided examples and ideas that really helped us game plan for our big days. She made sure she was informed on our preferences, and that expectations are clear for all parties. During the shots themselves, Jill took the lead and helped instruct throughout, which was extremely helpful for two non-photogenic individuals. I loved seeing Jill's creativity shine through when after grabbing some initial photos, she'd jump in with an idea or a new angle or shot she wanted to try...those were some of the most unique! On our wedding day, it was well over 100 degrees and Jill never complained once or deviated from making sure we were comfortable with the game plan, throwing in other options for locations and timing in case we felt we could no longer take the heat, and even made an on the fly suggestion for an alternative location when our planned one was unexpectedly closed that day--because she knew the look/scenery we were going for, we ended up with amazing shots that are now some of our favorite. Jill's style (photo-journalistic/romantic/candid/timeless), coupled with her technical photography skills, are reasons we decided on Jill and her team, and we could not be happier with the results. We of course captured some of the formal family shots as expected, but our favorite pictures are the ones capturing the raw emotions of the day...each time we look through them, we laugh and cry all over again because you really can look at them remembering and feeling the exact moments...and to us, that is the BEST AND MOST MEANINGFUL thing you can hope for in photographs (I wish I could put that last sentence in BOLD). As if all prior traits weren't painting an amazing enough picture, throw in the fact that Jill is very people oriented, always dressed with a huge smile on her face...you can't help but want to be in her presence! She knows how to run her business and the steps and decisions that need to be made to continuously deliver quality and timely results. I can't recommend Jill and her team enough!! Thanks JT Photo!!

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!

Louie took pictures at our wedding two weeks ago, waiting on the viewing, and he was awesome to work with! Louie walked us through all the posing and we were at ease with him. Louie was a lot of fun and professional at the same time. Louie took photos when family or friends asked and went above and beyond! We would highly recommend him!!

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 captured our wedding day perfectly, setting up wonderfully staged photos as well as capturing candid moments. Outside of the staged photo time, she blended into the background and was completely unobtrusive, there for all of the important moments but not in the way. She made the entire process easy and stress free, I highly recommend her as your wedding photographer!

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. We will cherish the gift they have given us for a lifetime. We do not give this recommendation lightly. We understand how important photos are...you want Marc and Mindy on your side.

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. 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.

The team at Once Like a Spark shot my husband and I's November 2023 wedding at the Beauport Hotel Gloucester. We could never say enough TERRIFIC things!!! We are so impressed with the value of working with OLAS. Their pricing was extremely reasonable and what we got for it blew us away -- 8 hours of a photographer and second shooter, a videographer and second shooter, 400 amazing photos, a highlight reel, videos of speeches, the entire ceremony and a 45-min feature film of everything. The talent of Graham, our photographer, and Zack our videographer was seriously SO impressive. The passion they each have for their craft was so evident the day of our wedding and to see them so excited about the work got us that much more excited about it too. Additionally, they were so easy and FUN to work with! We had such a natural and positive rapport with them and they seriously made taking all the many photos required on your wedding day feel relaxed and enjoyable. In addition, Hannah was awesome to work with! She was extremely responsive with every one of the many emails I sent and made us feel like we were in great hands from the moment we signed our contract. Would recommend this team, 10/10 to anyone!

We are traveling wedding photographer and videographer. For 2024, we have 70+ weddings booked in 21 different states. Our shooting style is photojournalistic, natural, CINEMATIC to traditional. Our editing and style depends. Very easygoing and flexible depending on the client's preference. Our team is dedicated in delivering memories.

We decided to do a last minute baby moon in the Miami area. I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get a photoshoot. However, I was a bit worried about finding a photographer on short notice, especially between Christmas and New Years. I reached out to several photographers and Ledd Lens was the only company that promptly responded, replying to me within ten minutes, From the very start of our conversation, Andre was exceptionally professional, responsive, and approachable. He was very flexible with my last minute request and accommodating to my asks. I knew right away that he would be a fantastic choice. When the day came the weather did not cooperate and Andre was able to flex his schedule to a time that was not rainy, which was much appreciated. He assured me that this would be a positive experience regardless of the weather. And the photo shoot went fantastic! His ability to choreograph and capture a scene is unparalleled. You could feel the enthusiasm and passion he has for his work, and that is reflected in the final product. Andre did a great job of quickly editing and delivering the photos. We absolutely love how they turned out and cannot recommend Andre and Ledd Lens enough!

I am honored to have the opportunity to laugh…to cry…to share your love story.

Awarded Best of Zola
The first part of wedding planning for us was finding the photographer because it was the most important to me (other than the man I was marrying). I was prepared to search high and low to find the perfect photographer, but Jessica found us! After attending a wedding expo she reached out and offered her services. We met for coffee and discussed our hopes and dreams for our upcoming wedding. There was an instant connection! I told Jessica wedding photos were at the top of my priority list, because they’re what lasts forever. I can look back on those photos and remember the excitement, happiness, and pure joy of marrying the man of my dreams. I told her I was looking for someone to capture the little moments along with the big. Jessica promised us everything we asked for and, man oh man, she delivered!!! I cannot speak highly enough of her. Every part of the process was made simple because of her organization and talent. Every communication we had was prompt, thoughtful, and respectful. She listened to our wishes, offered her expertise, and created unbelievable results!! Jessica and her assistant (Crystal) were fun to be around and made our sessions with them fly by. They made sure every detail was picture-perfect… even during our freezing cold outdoor engagement session. If anyone asks me for a photographer, Jessica is the name I give, every single time. She signed on to do our wedding, but we are now her clients for life because no one will compare to the incredible job she does. Let me squash any doubts you have and help you with the best decision you’ll make when it comes to finding a photographer… just hire Jessica Yahn!! We are forever grateful to have crossed paths with her!!

Hi, I’m Piero, lead and wedding photographer, it has been amazing meeting so many couples, with so many stories to tell. I adapt to my couple's wishes so they get their own experience. I don't have a unique photo style, I try to use them all to tell every story, and that helps me capture so many beautiful moments. I capture candid moments as well as helping the couple with their favorite portrait ones. I've been doing weddings all over Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana.

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I hired Piero for our outdoor fall wedding. We both were not sure what we wanted other than a lot of pictures- neither of us had any idea of any specific types of shots we wanted. Legitimately, we lucked out big time with our photographer choice because Piero is on top of his picture game. We did engagement photos with him and weren't sure of any poses- warning him that we'd need some guidance. He came with a plan, but also was so good with letting ideas unfold organically too. In seconds we were comfortable with his friendly energy and goofy spirit. On our way home after that session we both knew we picked the right guy- and we hadn't seen any photos yet. Within days (so quick) Piero sent us a file of gorgeous engagement photos with so many to choose from. My wife and I did something weird for our wedding- we were married on a Friday with family and close friends and we threw a huge party the next day for the big crowd. We planned it ourselves and hosted on our own property. Needless to say, we were busy up to our eyeballs the months leading up to our big day (weekend lol). We hired Piero for both nights, he took the wheel requiring only a list of people we wanted in pictures, and he crushed it. He made our bridespeople so comfortable creating stunning portraits, he jumped right it on the dance floor with our guests capturing hilarious candid shots, he might have gotten up on our jousting inflatable to catch guests in action, and all in all capture our favorite moments just perfectly. Piero is professional yet fun, good at planning and going with the flow, and he will represent your event exactly as it was. He has all of the plans and all of the backup plans down to a science. Absolutely loved this guy! Don't luck out on your event- hire Piero for certainly perfect pictures!

We booked Sam for our elopement at City Hall in October and cannot say enough wonderful things about working with him! From the very beginning, he was organized and communicative and put us totally at ease. The day of our marriage ceremony, he was the absolute best third wheel, making the day feel special by hyping us up and also disappearing into the background so that we could have some special moments that felt more private. Neither my husband or I had ever done a formal photoshoot before but we both felt so comfortable with Sam that it wasn't awkward. And most importantly, the end product was phenomenal. Sam had edited (and shared with us!) more than half the gallery by the end of the day. The photos are gorgeous (the colors, the lighting, the framing of the shots) and perfectly capture our special day. We feel so seen. 10/10 would book again!

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.

There is nothing more anxiety-producing than choosing which photographer to document your event and my partner and I couldn't be happier with Megan. She has a great eye for detail and composition resulting in beautiful, professional, flattering(!), and intimate photos. She's highly conscious that she is creating memories and her photographs reflect her thoughtfulness. She captures the smallest details and interactions while still managing to get the "big picture" too. Megan listens to all concerns -however big or small- while making the process smooth, fun, and as low-stress as possible. She is extremely fair when it comes to price and you receive far more than you are paying for! I highly recommend her services. Photographers are like physicians, they need to be able to put you at ease while being both personable and professional and Megan Saul fits the bill. Our happy event was in early January of 2020.

I've picked up a camera just about every day since I fell in love with photography in 2013. Though every shoot holds something unique, it takes a lot to catch me off guard after nearly a decade in business. I pride myself on my ability to quickly connect with my clients, making them feel comfortable, cared for, and confident that they look great. Not every event I’m at goes exactly according to plan and I know how to roll with the punches. Being a helpful and calming presence in the midst of your wedding is second nature to me. Basically, I try to treat people how I want to be treated: with fairness and understanding!

Awarded Best of Zola
There are a lot of great photographers to choose from in Chicago and Zach is one of them. But I don’t need to tell you that, because you’ve probably checked out his work or you’re about to. What I will tell you is that Zach is exactly the kind of guy you want to have as one of your vendors. He is professional and experienced, but most importantly of all, flexible and so so nice. I didn’t actually meet Zach until the day of the wedding at our first look photoshoot. Although he seemed nice over email and I was reassured by my friend who recommended him, I was nervous about me and my partner feeling awkward and it showing in our pictures. But Zach put us at ease right away and was helpful in suggesting poses for each shot, something my partner and I definitely appreciated! Zach knew the Garfield Park Conservatory like the back of his hand, which also helped us navigate through the maze-like place within our short allotted time. Fast forward to post-ceremony - time for family portraits. The space we had in mind for the family group shots was a no-go due to some logistical issues. Zach was quick to roll with the punches before I could even think of a solution. He quickly talked to our venue manager and helped move our family members to a different area before my partner and I could even worry about what to do. During the reception, Zach moved discreetly from one end of the venue to the other, capturing all the special moments of the night. While there were other vendors that caught my attention throughout the night due to issues, Zach operated independently and flawlessly. To put a cherry on top, Zach’s pricing is very affordable compared to other photographers’ standard rates AND promises to get pictures back to you in a freaky fast timeline (I forget the exact time but it was incredibly fast). I wholeheartedly recommend Zach to any couple looking for a professional photographer who will not only get you great pictures but help you feel relaxed and therefore look your best on their special day!

Hello there! My name is Alana. I am a wedding photographer based in the Chicagoland area who ranges from lovely backyard weddings in the suburbs, to swanky celebrations in the city, to flying off to stunning elopements around the world. Weddings with me include tons of laughter, lots of support in planning and organizing, and photos so vivid that your memories jump out of the frame. (It may also include us both happy crying together on the big day) I make the whole process as easy and fun as possible, and would be absolutely honored to take on the role of turning your memories into artwork!

While the quality of Alana's work speaks for itself, from a venue perspective, she was a delight to work with. She delivers class with kindness, helping us show off our space by sharing her photos with us to use on our website and social media.

The Honeymooners Productions are a husband and wife duo who are determined to live life like they are on their honeymoon! They specialize in both PHOTO AND VIDEO which simplifies you’re planning process and budget. Their energy for life and love makes them PASSIONATE about your wedding experience! Let's get this party started! Email us about your wedding! We would LOVE to hear alllllllll about your day and your love!

Let me start this off by saying at the top of my lungs - WE LOVE LOVE LOVE THE HONEYMOONERS PRODUCTIONS!! Now that I've gotten that off my chest, here are the reasons why we recommend them to the highest extent: As a lesbian couple it was very important for my wife and I to find a photo & video vendor that was LGBTQ+ friendly. When we asked The Maddie and Luke about that, they instantly made us feel comfortable with their answer. Before the (first) wedding date, they were in constant communication with us and made a point to get to know us well before the big day. Then the pandemic hit, and we had to postpone our wedding. We had already paid our deposit to The Honeymooners and several other vendors. Other vendors were not as kind or accommodating to the change, but The Honeymooners stayed in communication with us through the changes and made it easy. Maddie & Luke had stayed in contact with us throughout, checking in periodically. 1 year later, we had to postpone again due to the on-going pandemic and once again Maddie & Luke took it in stride. They never gave us a reason to worry that they would come through for us. FINALLY, we had our big day. As soon as Maddie and Luke got to the venue it all made sense why we liked them so much. They greeted us like old friends. They were warm, kind, organized, and extremely professional. They just went for it at every step. They just never missed a beat. The few times I asked them to capture a photo of this or a video of that, they had already done it before I even thought of it. Even in how they directed us to pose or activities to capture on camera, it was all perfectly us. Not a single moment felt forced. I truly believe that because they took the time to get to know us before the wedding, that is what made everything they did feel so utterly authentic to us a couple. If it sounds like I am obsessed with them, it is 100% because I am. They weren't just the photo & video vendors that we hired for our wedding, they became our friends through this process. We had an absolute blast with them, and we laughed together all day. They literally made our wedding even better, and I believe that if we hadn't had them there it wouldn't have even been as fun as it was. The very next day after the wedding they sent us about 8 photos, already retouched and perfected as previews of our gallery. We were blown away by how they captured us and our love in just these few photos. What is more is they also created a 1 minute preview video that we have watched about 1,000 times already. Everything from the moments they included, to the song they chose was PERFECTION for us. 1 month after the wedding, they sent us our full photo gallery, full wedding video, and individual videos of specific moments. We were floored by the quality of their work. Everything is even better than we ever expected and we are so thankful to have those memories from the best day of our lives. I also have to note that I am in fashion so I have worked with a ton of photographers and videographers in my career - I can say with professional confidence that Maddie & Luke are some of the most talented people behind a camera I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I could go on and on about these two beautiful humans, but to sum it up - there are not strong enough words for how much we recommend The Honeymooners Productions to every couple (especially our LGBTQ+ family who need that kind of love and care). We love you Maddie & Luke!

From the moment we met Allie, we knew something about her was so special.

Any time I’ve spent with Allie or even talking to her have easily become my some of my favorite memories from this special season of life. During the time leading up to the wedding she would occasionally send me sweet voice notes or messages as little reminders of her thinking about me and Cameron and praying for us as we got closer and closer to our wedding day. By the time our wedding rolled around, I genuinely just felt like Cameron and I were hanging out with one of our dearest friends on our wedding day and she just happened to be taking photos of us. Allie has a magical way of capturing moments as if she’s seeing them from your own eyes. Each photo she took feels like I’m seeing my own memories of our beautiful day come to life and that is absolutely priceless.

Hey there! My name is Angelina and I started practicing photography in August 2020, but I've had an interest in it since I was 13 years old (I really wanted to shoot for National Geographic). Now I've expanded into portraits, engagement sessions, and I've done small weddings. I'm a Chicago native but I've also lived in Iowa, Arizona, Nebraska, & Texas. What can I say, I enjoyed a somewhat nomadic lifestyle. I have recently moved back to Illinois in the town of Channahon. My style of photography is more documentary-esque. Either way, I enjoy conceptualizing with clients to find what works for you!

Angelina was a God send. She made my day feel so special she was so professional and friendly! She made sure to capture a lot of candid moments for us and the poses she suggested didn’t feel awkward or forced. The angles, the editing and the sheer amount of photos shows how much she made my day a priority. Thank you again!

Saumya captured our family and precious memories beautifully. All the photos were so good we found it tough to choose which one to print and put up on our wall.

I’m Colby (he/him), your local neighborhood dog parent/beer lover/former mascot/barbershop singer/wedding and elopement photographer. My love language is shouting compliments at you. I love people and hate crowds. I prefer long hikes in the mountains to ones on the beach, but both are better than sitting at home. I really, really don’t like having my photo taken - and if we have that in common, we might work really well together.

Colby delivers the best possible product in the field. The lighting, composition and quality of his photos are unmatched. But he doesn't stop there... The communication from the booking date, lead up to shoot, and execution on the day is what makes Colby Campbell Photography an immersive experience that is unmatched.

I am a midwesterner, born and raised in the burbs north of Chicago who strives to capture moments that are gone in a second, impossible to reproduce, but with the help of an artist touch, can last a lifetime. I'm here to connect with you, listen to you, create with you, and provide a stress-free, comfortable atmosphere from start to finish. 3 things about myself, I have 3 dogs (yes, its crazy LOL), I am in loveee with Target, and coffee and mango froyo are my love languages.

I don't even know where to begin......I found Nichole on good old Facebook. Right from the first point of contact she was just so easy to reach and she responded so quickly which is like the most important thing for a vendor when you're trying to plan a wedding. After our first phone conversation I knew I wanted her to be our photographer! We met in person for the first time for our engagement photos in January 2021 and it was like instant best friends. She knew how to make us laugh, it never got awkward, and the pictures turned out phenomenal! Next step was helping to outline the day of our wedding with pictures. She was really helpful in guiding our timeline of photos and making sure we were including all the photos we want. Helped with my stress levels. Then it was finally wedding day! Nichole is a rockstar!! My bridesmaids were even raving about her the next day! She knows how to make a bride feel less stressed on her wedding day! Nichole got all the photos we wanted and more. I still look at our wedding photos on a daily basis! Nichole is the absolute best photographer you could have! BOOK HER NOW!

Hello, I’m Melissa! I’m a wedding & lifestyle photographer with a heart and eye for the genuine, real, and joyful moments! Based in Chicago but let’s be real, I love to travel - so take me with you! :) My heart as a photographer is to document your moments genuinely & always true to color. So that one day you will look back & remember not just what it looked like - but what it FELT like!

Hire Melissa for all of your photography needs, especially if you are particularly camera shy or think you feel awkward in front of the camera. She is simply the BEST and makes you feel super comfortable, makes you laugh, and most importantly, captures the perfect moments. We hired her for our fall engagement session and our winter wedding in January and are in LOVE with every single photo. I find every excuse to post the photos she took. In fact, my entire family loved her so much that my little sister is using her for her wedding in June 2024. Thank you so much for everything, Melissa!

If sarcasm and gifs are your languages of choice you know where to find me. I believe the less we take ourselves too seriously the more bearable life will be. 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.
