Chicago, IL
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,800
  • Serves Lockport, IL

Hi! I'm John, a wedding photographer based in Chicago, IL. I believe deeply that great wedding photography is about creating imagery that is as visually compelling, as it is emotionally significant. Weaving the images together to tell unforgettable stories. My distinct 'documentary meets fine-art' style is a product of my unrelenting commitment to my craft and the complete trust that my couples place in me. I primarily cover weddings in the Chicagoland area, but I will travel to any destination worldwide for those seeking an adventure.

Oak Lawn, IL
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,000

I am a bilingual (Polish, English) Chicago based wedding photographer who enjoys traveling and music. I like to take a documentary approach to photography. Keeping posing to a minimum and capturing natural moments of your big day. I am a perfect photographer for a couple that believes the natural moments mean more than posed photographs.

I had the privilege of working with Roman at a wedding a few years ago. I was hired as a DJ and he reached out to me prior to the event to introduce himself. I looked into his work and was astounded by his attention to detail. He really has a knack for capturing the moment in photo

Michelle Zapanta Photography

Lockport, IL
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,800

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you're looking for breathtaking engagement photos, Michelle is your girl!! We received an absolutely beautiful gallery with so many photos. During our session she was super friendly, extremely knowledgable with posing and lighting, and made us feel so comfortable. Her photography style is timeless and elegant yet showcases a couple's personality - can't wait to have her photograph our wedding!

Lockport, IL
  • Classic style

It all started with a hand-me-down camera and my obsession with weddings. I discovered my passion for photography as a teenager, and I’ve been hooked ever since! After earning my degree in Paralegal Studies, I decided it was time to pursue my dream. There’s something about photographing weddings that brings me true happiness. I love capturing the genuine connection between couples on their big day. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m spending time with my family! I have a beautiful little boy and one precious, fluffy dog. I also love reading books and taking weekend road trips with my friends and family.

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!

Planning a wedding can be a stressful process. Alana made the process of booking a photographer super easy and was very good about communication with us and what we wanted for our wedding pictures. We could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding day. Alana is organized and passionate about the work she does! She made us feel comfortable and captured our day better than we could have hoped! I would recommend her to anyone who is planning a wedding or needs any sort of event or family photographs. She is friendly and very easy to work with! We will definitely be using her skills for future photographs!

Channahon, IL
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,950

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!

Hey love, I’m Kara - your Nikon-loving, sunset-obsessed photographer and wedding cheerleader! When my sister got engaged in 2010 and I invested in my first camera, I started to experience the joy of documenting love stories as I photographed her engagement session - my very first session. From there, things grew quickly and now my husband and I photograph 20+ weddings a year together! When I’m not photographing weddings throughout Chicagoland, you can find me snuggling our puppies Georgie + Jett, lovin’ on my family, spoiling the littles in our life as Auntie Kara, gardening in our backyard, and exploring breweries with my husband Kyle.

Kara is one of our favorite photographers to work with, and we have nothing but great things to say about her work!

And heck yeah we're going to ask your makeup artist to move you to the best light in the room so you look stunning, it goes without saying - you'll want more light than just purple up lights with candles.

Awarded Best of Zola
This review is to highlight the fantastic service we received by booking our photography and videography with Eivan’s. From the start, the package options are clearly outlined. The service received pre-booking to post-event is organized and supportive. We appreciated that we were able to look at real photos and videos from the photographers/videographers employed by Eivan’s prior to booking. We also believe being able to chat with the photographer prior to our event really allowed all expectations to be understood and met. It was a huge plus that we hired both from the same company as they coordinated and worked well together. Our photographer and videographer arrived on time, dressed appropriately, and excited to capture our big day. They were creative, quick thinking and patient. They were not in the way and allowed us to enjoy our day while still getting the moments we would cherish. They skillfully captured us and our guests in posed encounters as well as candid moments. Although we had not met the photographer and videographer in person prior to our event, they blended in like invited guests. We laughed, adjusted awkward poses, fixed wardrobe imperfections and had a wonderful time. We are so grateful for their interest, professionalism and skill. We are able to look at our photos/video and relive the best day of our lives.

In the days of Pinterest, every bride to be, or just girl hopping to get engaged, scours the internet, Pinterest, Instagram, etc. looking for the perfect engagement and wedding photos. Egidijus allows you to flood his inbox with all of the inspiration photos. When the time came for my engagement and wedding photos, they delivered! The pictures were better than my inspiration pictures! Egidijus took into consideration the photos and my own personal taste to deliver the most gorgeous photos. I cannot wait to see these printed on my photobook! The video shows each moment: getting ready, first look, ceremony, reception....we got 3 hours of video, highlight and teaser, which I share with my friends on Instagram - it is so incredible. I had hundreds of comments. Even before the weddings, I had a lot of questions, and Ivan from sales helped me a lot with the timeline and planing. Ladies, I cannot recommend IGphotovideo enough. The time you spend with them is so comfortable the pictures and video are a dream.

Connie was amazing! We can't stop raving about her. She was so easy to work with. What started off as an elopement at the park turned into a micro wedding before we knew it. Connie made it so easy to work with us on our date and the last minute changes of shooting a micro wedding. She helped create a vision board for specific shots we wanted for the day of. I really don't like taking photos because I feel awkward, but Connie was able to give me direction on how to hold my bouquet and different angles. The best part, she was able to capture candid photos of our son throughout the ceremony. Her turnaround time along with the teasers came in a very timely manner and there was clear communication throughout the process of working with her. I would highly recommend Latek Photography and will use her again!

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 absolutely loved our photographers! They were so calm and accommodating towards us, and they made sure we got the photos I requested despite many last minute weather changes and chaos during the day. I am so excited to see the photos and I will definitely be making albums once they are ready! I already know the photos will be amazing and I wish I could go back and thank my lead photographer Liana again. And her support photographer Julia was a delight!

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!

Abigail is hands down the BEST wedding photographer. My sister first used Abbey for her wedding in 2019 and when I got married in 2021, I already knew I wanted to book her. I looked at other photographers work, but nothing even compared to the beautifully flawless photos my sister had. Abbey’s work definitely exceeded our expectations for our own wedding and we couldn’t be happier that we booked her! She was accommodating to all of our requests and came prepared with the information I had provided in advance. Photography is one thing you don’t want to skimp on for your big day and if you want hundreds of gorgeous images, capturing every detail, then you need to book Abbey!

My name is Elliot Stokes and I am a photographer located in the Madison, WI area, but I work all across Wisconsin and Illinois. 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 absolutely love what I do and look forward to every new experience and opportunity this journey takes me on!

Elliot was so great to work with through the entire process from planning to photos on the wedding day. Both the posed photos and candid photos turned out amazing and we're so happy with them! He also brought two interns with him who were great, and one got some wonderful footage of our ceremony.

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories.

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!

We first booked Clayton for our engagement photos in January 2022. It was cold but Clayton kept the mood light and fun, giving us prompts and conversation starters that really helped put us at ease in front of the camera. It was such a fun day and after seeing the photos, we knew we needed him for our wedding as well! Clayton and his husband were absolutely amazing on the wedding day, our bridal party had such a great time laughing and joking with them during our getting ready and first look pics! We even had guests coming up and telling us how much fun the photographers were! And the reception shots...I will never be able to narrow them down, they managed to capture just about every guest showing off their best dance floor moves! Truly so grateful for the amazing work, our photos are absolutely stunning. We definitely hope to use Lux Everlasting for all of our future portrait needs :)

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

Isaac and his team were incredible to work with. He came highly recommended from a friend of ours who got married a few years ago and we were really pleased to be introduced.

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
I will start this review off by simply stating that the choice of the photography “vendor” might have been one of the most important choices to me in our wedding planning process and the one that gave me much anxiety initially. I was looking for someone who could capture the feeling of our day, of course get lovely photographs of our friends and family, and also let shine their artistic talents to create photos that could stand alone without the obvious label of a “wedding shot.” The decision of which photographer to pick with the initial brief above seemed daunting...especially in a sea of what seemed to be very standard wedding photographers all at about the same price point or much more for what didn’t seem like better quality. When I stumbled upon Anders, I immediately felt a connection to his artistic style that felt in a different league to what I had been looking at. We had an initial consult with Anders and all of the feelings of anxiety over the photographer (how the pictures might turn out, whether we were going to regret our choice, etc.) washed away completely. We are living in the PNW and were able to do an engagement shoot while we were in Chicago briefly and Anders was very flexible with our scheduling and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. He spent extra time, took us to such interesting spots, and the results were so beautiful. I mentioned in our initial consultation that what was most important to me was enjoying our wedding day and the special time with friends and family which is exactly what we got. Anders did such a great job in making sure we stayed on track with important shots and was able to create so many other personal shots that I just love looking back on! Not only this, but he also ended up creating a wedding video for us that was so special. Not only is Anders a wonderful photographer, but a wonderful person who is so friendly, kind, and truly passionate about his work. We are not the only ones who noticed; We had multiple guests after the wedding comment on how fun Anders was to interact with. I cannot think of an easier decision that we made for our wedding. I cannot recommend Anders enough!

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.

We can't say enough good things about Kate! She is kind, communicative, and so good at what she does. It was such a smooth process working with her from start to finish. She went out of her way to do little things to make us feel great both before and during our wedding day.

Hey there! I’m a weddings and couples photographer based in Chicago, IL with my partner Emily and my rescue dog Daxter. I’m here to document joy and celebrate all the meaningful moments with the kickass people that find me.

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!

Let's create wedding images with real emotion, story, and intention to them. I know being in front of the camera can be awkward. That's why I choose not to pose couples, but instead prompt you to do something like "take off your shoes and run across the field" or " get inside the car and kiss everywhere except the lips". These prompts will help you feel comfortable and also help create candid images. Check out my website for more info :)

Jarrod and his wife, Taylor, are truly a dream to work with! My husband and I really wanted some simple engagement photos taken, but were reluctant because we’re not totally comfortable in front of the camera and didn’t want the poses/photos to look cheesy. Taylor gave us plenty of suggestions to pose us naturally and kept us laughing which put us at ease immediately. Jarrod was such a professional and really worked every angle and background to make it look like we spent an entire day shooting. The editing was super crisp and clean and the photos came back incredibly quickly. They far exceeded our expectations and we can’t thank them enough for giving us beautiful, lasting memories from such an important time in our lives. This couple is seriously amazing - genuine, fun, and experts at what they do!! Book them!

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

Alana and I connected over Instagram shortly after Nick and I got engaged. Over the course of a year, I fell more in love with her shot style, her colors, and just about everything she posted. She and I messaged, liked, and commented so it was nice having as much of a connection as people can have through Instagram before booking. When we decided to book she helped so much with ideas for outfits, time of day, and locations to shoot as well!! When we scheduled our engagement shoot, it worked perfectly to where she could come to our location while she was in Cinci. Day of the shoot, anything that could have gone wrong, went wrong BUT Alana handled everything with such flexibility and ease. We were able to get shots before and after the torrential downpour that forced us to change locations and WE ARE IN LOVE with the photos. I seriously can’t say enough amazing things about her. She makes us even more excited for our wedding just through looking at our engagement photos and the photos she shares on her blog/website/Instagram. Long story short: book her. She’s your girl for all things wedding ❤️❤️

I was introduced to the world of photography the same week I was introduced to the world! All thanks to my Dad, who was never without his camcorder or camera. Because of him, our memories growing up are preserved. Then I got my first camera + tons of film. I documented everything. When film turned into digital, that was a turning point in my life. Since then, my memories, large + small, have been organized on my computer, by year. So I can go back + revisit so many wonderful memories from my life...most which I wouldn't remember without pictures!

I had a small wedding at home and she was there early in the morning and took photos of the entire day. She was taking photos to make my day memorable and focused on the details that I am so grateful she was able to capture. She photographed my family members too and made me feel beautiful on my day. I sometimes get awkward in front of cameras but she made me feel comfortable and I would for sure book her again when given the chance. I highly recommend. She’s very understanding of different cultures and made sure to capture those moments that made my day special. She edits beautifully and she also sent a flash drive in a beautifully presented box.

Anya is a highly talented photographer. I struggle with following simple directions, which may be due to the language barrier as English is not my native language.

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 Doggett has been photographing me (Mckenna) since I was 13 years old, and every time he delivers phenomenal results! He did pet portraits with me and my horse, my senior graduation photos, my COVID backyard wedding and the larger reception later on, and every single event was absolutely magical.

LaDonna's assistant made our family photos a breeze—corralling my cousins and aunts, telling jokes to keep people from wandering off. This Dream Team is the perfect picture of efficiency! They made our entire experience genuinely enjoyable. A heartfelt thank you for expertly capturing our cherished moments. A solid 5 stars!

Our wedding photos are the most valuable collection of items we have from our wedding thanks to Svyat. He was incredible on the day. Looking like a guest himself he merged into the background yet still seemed to capture the most magical moments of our day. We will be forever grateful and thankful to Svyat. From the moment we met him, he was so welcoming and made the whole journey leading up to our wedding a joy, which made the day even more wonderful. Thank you Svyat for your kindness, incredible talent and beautiful work.

Hello my name is Jacquelyn! I’m an event photographer located in Chicago, Illinois. I have loved capturing moments in time since I was a child. I went to college for Visual Communication Technology where I studied photography for 4 years. After graduation I decided to venture out into creating my own photography business.

Jacquelyn was patient and attentive to us and our guests. She directed the photos with grace and ease. I am very happy with our photo experience on the day of the wedding, the wedding was stressful-but not our photos. Thank you very much Jacquelyn!!
