We could not have asked for a better team to capture our day! Visi studio set everyone at ease as soon as they arrived, and knew exactly how to direct us to get warm, genuine footage. Not only did they help keep us on schedule and ensure we got all of the shots that we wanted, everyone had so much fun working with them. The final product blew my husband and me away - we were so impressed with the full-length video as well as the Highlights. It captured the fun, excitement, and romanticism of the day better than we could have hoped for. We are so happy we made the investment to work with VISI STUDIO, it was worth every penny!

John Foley Photography

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

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

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

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
I don't even know where to start...Michelle was such a huge part of our wedding! Not only did she capture every perfect moment, she stepped up in so many ways for us. We had to postpone our wedding a full year due to Covid. Once we finally got closer to the date, we were on zoom calls with Michelle and my wedding planner going through the most detailed timeline. The timeline was so important to us. Michelle went the extra mile and came to my mom's house on the Saturday before our wedding to capture all of our "detail" shots, and of course snapped a few of us and our puppy Charlee! The pictures turned out amazing and I am so happy she gave us the extra time to take her time and capture these beautiful images. We had so much more time in the morning for getting ready pictures and I NEVER felt rushed during the day. I gave Michelle a huge task of capturing many family pictures and she executed this so perfect! Despite the rain rain rainnyyyy day we had, Michelle still captured some beautiful pictures of my husband and I outside which we are so grateful for. Michelle and Erik are amazing! AMAZING! Our wedding would not have been what it was without them. They took our timeline and helped to keep everything moving so smoothly! I remember asking at one point "how are we doing on time?" and I was told "we are actually 6 min ahead of schedule". It was the most perfect day. Everyone say's how the day fly's bye. I didn't have that feeling once. I felt like it was the longest day in the best way possible! I remember every moment and felt present the whole time, along with got that time for my husband and I to take in and enjoy the day for us! I don't think I would have had the same experience if it weren't for Michelle. She is amazing at what she does and goes above and beyond. We are FOREVER grateful for her and she has not seen the last of us. Thank you again Michelle and Erik! You guys have a very special place in our hearts. Love, Tony & Kelly

Hey there! If we’re going to be friends, you should know that I'm goofy, adventurous, a shameless cat mom, and I don’t like chocolate (weird right?!). I graduated from Bradley University in 2018 and launched Moira Nolan Photography, specializing in wedding and engagement photography in 2019. Now here I am, a capturer of laughs, kisses, & all things love and it brings me so much joy! I mainly serve the Chicago and the Chicago Suburbs but I love to travel! Especially since it is a goal of mine to visit all 50 states.

We reached out to Moira for our engagement and wedding photos and couldn’t be happier that we did! Moira is great in all regards. She listened to what we had in mind for our pictures (more natural feel) and added her knowledge of capturing great shots. She helped us feel at ease in front of the camera and guided us as needed. Every picture turned out beautiful. Choosing our favorites was nearly impossible and our friends and family were blown away when viewing the photos. We will definitely use Moira again for future photos and recommend her whole-heartedly to anyone!

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.

My husband and I were lucky enough to have Alana as our photographer for both our engagement photo shoot and our wedding day. Not only is Alana an extremely gifted photographer (she made a girl who has never liked a single photo of herself, suddenly have dozens that she loves), she is incredibly sweet, professional, and a joy to work with. No matter how many questions I had along the way, she always answered them promptly and with a smile. She made the entire process seamless from start to finish, and at the end of it all, we have photos that we will cherish for our lifetime. We can’t wait for more opportunities to work with Alana in the future. If you want to make sure the most important day of your life is captured in the perfect way, hire Alana - I promise you won’t be disappointed.

  • 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 such a breath of fresh air. You all know how stressful hosting events can be let alone having a wedding! She came early to the venue which calmed my nerves, and made genuine connections with everyone to produce some of the best photos. What I appreciated most was her professionalism and authenticity.

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!

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.

But Lacie made us feel so comfortable that we didn’t feel awkward at all. We had so much fun working with her and absolutely love the photos she took. She captured so many memories that happened in our wedding and I’m always going to cherish them. She also goes above and beyond and helped us get our reception moving; switched our timelines a little bit that fit with the mood. We love Lacie, her work, and will recommend her to anyone!!

I hired IG photographer for my wedding and they did not disappoint! Roman was our photographer for the day and he was so nice. He showed me his shots as he took them to make sure I was happy with them (I was!). He also made sure to pull me back into the fun when he noticed I was talking and missing the action for too long. I really appreciated that because you get pulled in so many different directions because guests want to talk that you forget you’re supposed to be enjoying the day as well.

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.

After being given a long list of wedding photographer vendors from our venue, Once Like A Spark really stood out to us not only because of their name but also because their portfolio of pictures was exactly the vibe we were looking for in our wedding photos. This company was extremely easy to work with and their communication was awesome! They have different team members designated for each stage of planning so you know you’re getting the attention you need during a stressful time. We used OLAS for our September 2023 wedding. We opted for a second photographer after originally booking only one and they made the addition seamless to our contract! You are able to choose your primary photographer and we chose Matt (a former Bruins photographer, which my husband loved :)) and he could not have been more professional and focused the day of the wedding! Our second photographer was wonderful too! Both were detail oriented and made us so excited to see the shots they got! We received our gallery 5 weeks after the wedding, which was earlier than we expected, and were totally blown away! Our photographers nailed it! We cannot recommend OLAS enough! 10 out of 10 experience!

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!

From making us laugh, to getting the whole family to pay attention down to getting the best shots we will have to cherish! She offers so much for her clients and I'm excited to have her do our family pictures as well.

Oh my goodness, where do we even begin with Mariah from King and Opal Photography? Five stars just don't seem like enough to express our gratitude and absolute adoration for this amazing photographer! From the moment we met Mariah, we knew we had struck gold. She's not just a photographer; she's a guardian of our wedding dreams!

What we love most about Mariah is her infectious laid-back attitude combined with unwavering confidence. She radiates a calming energy that made us feel at ease throughout the entire process.

Planning a wedding can be a whirlwind of stress, but Mariah's exceptional organizational skills took a massive load off our shoulders. And then there's her style! Mariah's artistic eye and unique approach to capturing moments is the reason she caught our eye. 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.

I am so HAPPY we hired TWA to do our wedding. The price matches the quality of the staff, services, and final product. The constant deals and promotions offered are well worth it! Amanda keeps you updated and informed throughout the whole process and I was so at ease this whole time. My photographers were EXCELLENT. My entire day went smoothly and my main photographer was able to capture every moment I wanted. They definitely take your desires to heed and if you have no idea what you'd like (like me at times), they guide you and help you find the scene, moment, pose, whatever you need.

Elliot was a superstar on the day of our wedding! We didn’t have the budget for a wedding planner so my wife and I were the ones calling all the shots that day. We’d done just about everything… but the shot list. But Elliot was CLUTCH! He already had an idea of our schedule and so he just jumped in and began taking photos. He made sure to ask us about key moments we wanted prioritized throughout the day, and what we got back were incredible. He has an awesome attention for detail and was so thoughtful that when we got our photos back we saw so many things that we didn’t even remember or think of or ask for that we are so glad he captured. He was also SUPER efficient! We took photos so quickly and he was really helpful in orchestrating our wedding party. Once we finished group photos he stole us away for couples shots and it was so easy to just be ourselves and enjoy our first few moments as newly weds. He actually made our day much less stressful all while capturing us in our element. OH, and I can’t forget to mention the fact that he also took video footage, some with a drone that he was able to give us same day fully edited. That was a totally unexpected but very lovely surprise. We were also provided a fuller edited video of moments from throughout the whole day. We feel so grateful and lucky to have worked with Elliot and his team for our wedding!

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!

From your candid laughs together to the way your grandmother's eyes well with tears when she sees you walk down the aisle - no detail is too small. We’ve had so many sweet couples from around the world trust us - from our own backyard in MN to the Coasts & even Internationally. I've had the honor of being nominated as the Top 3 Photographers in MN & the experience of photographing over 150 weddings. But each feels completely unique & gives me the joy of butterflies

I have worked with Allie on multiple styled shoots, and she is now doing my wedding next year, so I have gotten the pleasure to see her behind the scenes, and now working with her as my wedding vendor. Each time I work with her, I see her work getting better and better. Her style is romantic and light, and she loves to capture the detail of every event so that you will never forget all the work that went into it. Allie has great direction when it comes to her couples, and makes you feel super comfortable. I can't wait to work with her on many more projects, and work with her for our wedding.

We first worked with Chelcie for our engagement photo session in downtown Detroit. Most photographers I contacted had a very limited timeline for engagement sessions. We were blown away at the amount of time and care that Chelcie put into our engagement session. She also had an incredible eye for location spots to get the best photos. We had a few spots planned out, but she would end up seeing spots on the way that turned into absolutely incredible photos. My husband and I are also the type who are not totally sure how to pose or what to do for professional photos. Chelcie made us feel beyond comfortable and made those things SO easy for us. We just had to work with her for our wedding! And we are so glad we did. Her team was beyond amazing. We had Chelcie, her second photographer, and her assistant which meant they were able to capture every moment and truly helped our day to flow well. Once again, Chelcie was able to spot the best photo locations on the day of and make our first look the most special moment of our entire lives. Chelcie also worked seamlessly with my other vendors. She really cares about capturing her clients' visions and delivering really beautiful photos.

Looking through Sarah's work, we really loved how her work didn't look staged or overly edited. When we got back our photo proofs, we were even more blown away. During our pre-dinner photoshoot, we have so many stunning photos of us in our favorite Chicago neighborhood, both in places we wanted and in cute little alleys and doorways that she found day-of. And then during dinner, despite pretty cramped quarters, we have photos of all of our 40 guests enjoying the evening. We will treasure Sarah's work for years to come!

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!

When she took pictures of our family, the boys had such a fun time that the photos turned out natural and truly reflected our family wonderfully.

Our engagement photography experience was amazing with Layne! Working with her was a seamless and enjoyable process from beginning to end. She skillfully captured our love, resulting in a collection of photos that feel like a slice of life (but the hottest version of that slice). We highly recommend her for anyone seeking a talented and personable photographer to beautifully document this special moment in life.

Hello! It is awesome to meet you! I am Wendy, an award winning Chicago wedding photographer. My photo journey started 11 years ago shooting concerts! I fell in love with the art of photography and decided to make a career of photographing weddings. As a photographer who is sensitive to my surroundings, I create images that are intuitive to who you are and the story you tell. I love catching the details you so lovingly design into your wedding day and capturing the big picture of how awesome you, your wedding and guests are.

Awarded Best of Zola
Wendy was such a joy to have photographing our special day! She was so incredibly sweet, funny, accommodating, and kind. She rolled with ALL the little hiccups, the drama, and the emotions that will inevitably happen on your wedding day! She made all of those little moments less stressful with her kind smile and lightheartedness. The photographs she took were absolutely stunning, and so many people have told us so. She improvised at all the right times, and made me feel so at ease the entire day. She executed exactly what we wanted, came prepared with a list of photos I’d mentioned to her prior, and made sure to remind me of the photo inspiration I sent to her. She is artistic, adventurous, and professional, all at the same time. Between the caterers, the venue, the DJ, and every vendor in between, we felt that Wendy was worth every penny. We could not have asked for a better photographer. Thank you so much for making our day so much more perfect!

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.

As a past bride and wedding professional of 16+ years, I understand the importance of hiring a photographer you can trust. I've been photographing weddings since 2007 - I LOVE ALL things wedding! Watching your Mom zipping up your dress while she fights back tears, the first look with Dad as he sees his baby girl ready to walk down the isle... capturing all the little moments while you say "I do" is what I live for! I believe your wedding day is the start of your family legacy and it's meant to be captured and enjoyed for years to come.

As a DJ for over 25 years, I have worked with many photographers in my time. None are as easy, professional, and fun, to work with as Shayla Loring Photography is. I have had the pleasure a handful of times, and those are the weddings that go the smoothest. She has great communication skills, lots of unique ideas, and a passion to capture the night just the way the bride and groom want it. She also realizes the night is about the two getting married and her sole focus is on capturing the best memories in the photos. If you are in search of the BEST photographer, look no further!

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!

He was on time and professional for our wedding day, taking care to make sure we covered our photo list and suggesting a few shots that wound up as some of our favorites.

I could go on and on about how wonderful our experience was, but I'll end with one quick story.

She went above and beyond for our wedding day which also fell on her birthday! Her and her mom even agreed to serve as our witnesses. We absolutely were floored by how well all photos turned out and will have these forever memories of our wedding day captured so beautifully.

I’m a wife and Jesus lover who is dedicated to serving and loving my clients well, by giving them a unique experience. I offer custom wedding packages that are designed with my couple in mind. I also provide custom timeline creations, and help with anything (even non-photo related)! By the time my couple gets their wedding images, they’ve not only gained a photographer that will produce great images, they’ve gained a friend - and to me, that’s priceless.

Sierra was AMAZING to work with! She stuck with us even after we pushed back our wedding by a year and scaled it down! She made that everything was perfect and even helped us record the ceremony on our phone! We are so glad that Sierra was our photographer and would definitely work with her again!

Hailing from New England, I take pleasure in highlighting the unique charm of each location I'm privileged to photograph and happily make myself available to travel wherever love takes you. My mission is simple yet profound: to create timeless artwork that reflects the love and individuality of every couple I meet.

When I'm not capturing beautiful moments, you'll find me savoring fine wine and crafting to my heart's contentment.

Let me start off by saying I am pretty shy and am usually not the most photogenic gal out there. You can probably imagine how anxious I was going into our wedding planning - I was pretty worried about my awkwardness in front of a camera and the impact that would have on our wedding photos. But then I met LaDonna, and that all changed! She was so nice and professional in her approach and she really took the time to help me find my confidence in front of a camera. She was really patient and encouraging and was really great at giving me some direction early on at the beginning in teaching me how to look natural; by the time it came to our real sessions, I found I was hardly even thinking about my insecurities and instead found I was just living in the moment with my husband-to-be! I feel so much more comfortable and confident in myself after having worked with LaDonna - and I couldn’t be happier with the photos!! Thanks to her, I have beautiful pictures from our big day to cherish and the self confidence to keep taking photos with my husband to cherish our memories for a lifetime. So if you’re shy like me, this is for you!

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!

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 not only great at communicating with us but also did a great job of guiding us through our big day. She was very easy and flexible to work with. I would recommend Jacquelyn to a friend looking for a photographer!
