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!

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,395

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

What can I say about Kat? She is easy to work with, flexible, professional, creative, and overall incredible to work with! Kat was able to work with us to find a package that fit our needs. During the planning process she was excellent at communicating, responsive to my questions, and open to all my ideas! The day of, Kat and her second shooter Emma arrived early and were a breeze to work with. Kat clearly has a incredibly creative eye and utilized our photo location and my dress so well! Kat had a combo of posed shots and capturing perfect candids. We received our preview photos promptly and our album in a very timely manner. If you are looking for a quality photographer, look no further. Kat Beatty is the way to go!

Megan Saul Photography

5.0

Union, IL
  • Photojournalistic style

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

Megan helped make our incredible wedding day -- the happiest day of our lives -- something we can cherish forever. Her photography not only captured the day's spirit but also all the sudden instances that now help us recall how emotional it was. Her attention to detail and her eye for angles, lighting, and composition are uncanny. We'll look at these photos for years and will forever be thankful to Megan for putting her heart and soul into everything she does, including our wedding. On top of all that, she is absolutely pro: she takes pride in her work and delivers only the best product and service. I could not recommend her any higher.

Awarded Best of Zola
If only there were more than 5 stars to give Brittany and Rock 1 Photography... She is the most professional, efficient, light-hearted, positive, and FUN photographer I've ever had the pleasure of working with. We worked together on a wedding once (I am a floral designer), and I was so impressed by her that I hired her to take photos of my family. On a crummy-weather day, where toddler temper tantrums and bad attitudes were flying high, Brittany somehow managed to snap shots that made us look like the happiest, most attractive family ever!! To say I was blown away is an understatement. If you're looking for a photographer who you can TRULY count on, and is GUARANTEED to get you the most amazing pictures from your wedding day - look no further... Brittany is the absolute BEST!

Working with Ez was so incredibly easy. Not only were they incredibly easy to work with and captured incredible photos, they also were so incredibly helpful and supportive the entire day. Working a hot summer wedding in July is not always the most fun but Ez was constantly making sure I was hydrated, had food and was assisting with all photo needs that were necessary. As a vendor, Ez is someone I would work with again and again. Highly recommend!!

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

Wadsworth, IL
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000

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

Deb and her team did an absolutely amazing job with our wedding pictures in April 2021. The pictures are so beautiful and did a great job of capturing our day. She got the pictures back to us so quick too! Our friends and family have not stopped texting us raving about how nice the pictures came out! Would recommend Parker Photography to anyone.

Hi! I’m Becka, my husband, Aaron and I are traveling wedding and elopement photographers based in Northern Illinois! We love spending time with people, being outdoors, and we are always down for good conversation!

Awarded Best of Zola
Becka and her team deserve 5/5 stars and all the love for how hard they worked with my husband and I throughout the pandemic.. Let’s go back all the way to the beginning of March 2020.. That’s where I met Becka for the first time.. (She met me in person, which I truly appreciated) right before well, COVID-19.. We were both a little hesitant of what was to come of this virus but it was SO early that neither one of us thought it would effect my wedding that was supposed to take place in the fall of that year.. Boy, were we in for a surprise.. Realizing in the summer that COVID-19 wasn’t going to go anywhere, we rescheduled our wedding for the following year. Unfortunately, Becka was already booked for the only day we could manage to reschedule our venue/church.. However, she saved the day by allowing her assistant photographers, Lauren & Michaela to take over… At first I was a bit nervous knowing Becka wasn’t going to be the one taking the wedding pictures (we loved our engagement photography session) but I trusted her, and I knew her standards were high so she wouldn’t just allow anyone to take the pictures under her name... And let’s just say, my husband and I were not disappointed! The assistant photographers did amazing, it even rained during the most crucial time of the wedding (in terms of photos) …The time after the ceremony! But despite this, the pictures came out absolutely stunning and our family/friends loved them.. All the details, all the unexpected “I didn’t know they captured that!” moments were there… Another thing I want to mention is the way Becka was able to help me schedule parts of the wedding and assist in the planning of when certain things are supposed to happen… As you can imagine, planning a wedding is stressful... Sometimes you don’t even know where to start! Becka helped me tackle this issue and streamline the day so it wouldn’t be as intimidating… With her schedule, I could now put together the pieces of the day and take a breath. Photos & logistics aside, everyone was also so sweet, patient and accommodating… So a big thank you to Becka, Lauren & Michaela for capturing our big day wonderfully. We will cherish these photos for a lifetime!

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!

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

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

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

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

    Hi, I'm Nicole! I am a light and airy wedding & portrait photographer based in Chicago. I started working in the photography world in 2011 and absolutely love everything about it! Now that the boring stuff is out of the way, let me talk about how I become your extra bridesmaid on your wedding day. I’m there to help you fluff your dress, cry during your first look (but still take awesome photos behind the tears), and tell you how gorgeous you look all day!

    I have a passion for life, the good the bad the ugly, because in all things you can find value and beauty. Everyone has a story and my goal is to tell it though film. I want to capture what makes you, you. I am a Chicagoland Photographer that has traveled the world taking photos and videos. If I'm not taking photos I'm most likely drinking wine on my porch with my husband and dogs.

    I am Roni; A tattooed, swearing, wedding photographer that loves art and fucking hates romantic comedies. Growing up, I enjoyed writing private memoirs of getting gas at the gas station, or describing in length the way the lady at the grocery store rang out the customer in front of me; All seemingly mundane interactions that I found so genuine and fascinating. When I finally picked up a camera, I found a way to be an observer of the moments that make our time on this planet worth it - the life changing moments, the deliciously mundane moments, and everything in between. There's nothing else in the world that I'd rather do.

    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!

    If there were 5,000 more stars I'd click them all with joy. This woman was a gift from the universe and I couldn't recommend her more. My husband and I got engaged February of 2022 and planned to elope at City Hall June of 2022 and threw a big bang party just two weeks ago. Finding a photographer who had both dates June/Sept open as well as someone that we liked seemed impossible. We did a video consult with Mariah and the stars literally aligned with our chemistry as well as the dates. Bridal miracle. In June we arranged a day where we wore our full wedding gear and took a limo around the city to get shots in some fun Chicago places. Mariah hopped in the limo with us and just made the day INCREDIBLY fun. My husband and I are super playful and aren't much for being "models" but we were both so happy and comfortable the pictures came out so unique and special. Headline: Everyone that sees the elopement photos wants to book King and Opal because of how uniquely she captured our spirits. We didn't want standard posing and we got way, way more. In September we had a party with some of our best, wildest pals from NYC and Chicago and our nutty families. I was genuinely in the middle of a panic attack while getting ready when Mariah walked in and she just made me feel like a new friend showed up to support me. Within 20 minutes I was enjoying being photographed laying on a couch really fellin myself in my bridal glow. Headline: The energy of the person capturing you and your people at your most overwhelmed and vulnerable MATTERS. I could go on forever but really, do yourself a favor and choose the gal with grit and grace. You'll remember the experience forever.

The photos are bright and colorful and feel very natural. After meeting Isaac, he is one of the nicest people and it was a real pleasure to have him at our wedding. And the photos turned out just as I had hoped. There are lots of great family shots, the details of the bridal party getting ready, setup and all of our guests enjoying the reception are really fun.

    Awarded Best of Zola
    Choosing Kirsten with Kirst photography was by far the easiest and best decision we made for our wedding. From the beginning of our process through our wedding day, she provided us with detailed information regarding our investment, and referred to us for how we wanted her to capture our day, and boy did she deliver! Her pricing was well explained and more than fair, and even in the early stages of planning we started working up detailed lists of people, poses, and styles we wanted to ensure were captured. I felt that she understood my vision truly from the first time we met. She was timely, organized, and upbeat, (something I really appreciated when nerves were high on our big day!) Our entire wedding party loved her, and truly had fun with the photos; including my normally photo-adverse husband. We had her running around photographing our outdoor ceremony, then onto a trolley to a forest preserve for bridal party photos in the woods, and finally back to our indoor reception. In all of these areas there were different colors, lighting, wind, etc. - none was an issue for Kirsten. She photographed every setting beautifully, and captured all of our most special moments. She has a natural gift of capturing fleeting moments, and my husband and I were blown away by the magical nature of the photos she delivered to us. Photos were emailed soon after our return from our honeymoon, perfect timing to reminisce and share with family and friends. I would urge you, choose Kirst for your photography needs- you will not regret it. You deserve someone who cares just as deeply about your big event as you do! Kirsten’s work and care are absolutely top notch. She will be our go-to family photographer from now on!

She made everyone feel comfortable and kept the day moving so we stayed on schedule. She also kept things fun and silly which made for some great candid photos. We highly recommend her!

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

    Michelle made the whole process relaxing and provided enough couching to ensure our pictures were the best they could be. It was our first professional photo shoot and Michelle made it feel like it was a normal day for us as she captured beautiful photos.

    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.

    Anders did an absolutely beautiful job on both our engagement and wedding pictures. We couldn't have asked for anything more.

    My name is Jana Blue and I've been photographing weddings for 10 years. I'm consistent not in a trend of photos or style, but emotions. Each wedding and couples are so unique and my work follows that. In my career I've photographed both big production weddings and also intimate DIY ones. I've photographed informal engagements and elopements/weddings in a desert in Chile, in the mountains of Zion, in a beach in Croatia, in an ancient church in Greece and in forests in Brazil. I work with all different budgets and needs from my brides. I'm a preferred vendor of Chicago First Lady Boat, so I do weddings on the boat during the summer.

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

    If you’re looking for a wedding photographer, I’ll save you some time and introduce you to Heather! From day 1, Heather made us feel comfortable and at home, something we were so impressed with. During our engagement photoshoot, she provided us fun little games to get in the groove and captured special moments that we couldn’t have dreamed of. We were so excited to show off her work to family and even more excited for her vision on our wedding day. Leading up to then, she exceptionally communicated to us logistics and shot planning. She was very flexible and scheduled several meetings to really flush out our desired photos. Heather provided unique guidance that made preparation easy, especially with coordinating with our wedding planner. On our wedding day, we worked with Heather and Sihan, her second photographer. We also worked with Alex Yuan and Ben for videography. The whole team was a joy to be with, naturally guiding us and capturing candid moments we shared with our bridal party. Because of all the planning, the bridal party shots and family shots went very smoothly. Most importantly, we were blown away with our final photos. We were amazed by Heather’s dedication to her clients, providing us with so many perfectly crafted pictures. She also remained patient for months after the wedding, working with us to get our wedding album details in place. We could not be happier with the moments she captured on her camera, photos that we love to share with family and friends. Alex did a great job with video as well, even providing us with a trailer video while he edited the main video. We loved the cinematic take on our wedding day, painting a picture of both the intimate moments at the start of the day to the fun times in the evening. We would 100% recommend Heather and team for your engagement and wedding. Speaking from experience, they will seamlessly work with you to capture your special day and help share those memories for years to come!

    So there’s no “I” in team right?! While Captured Couture is the product of years of hard work that I built from the ground up. I have an amazing team because sometimes takes more than just me. For larger events or on occasions when I am already booked one of my team members will gladly assist with your event. We’ve covered hundreds of weddings together, and have refined our editing style and way of shooting to be completely consistent. You won’t be able to tell the difference. Pinky promise! No matter where you’re planning from when it clicks, it clicks.

    Jennifer and the rest of the Captured Couture team were nothing short of amazing! From our first conversation all the way to our wedding day, Jennifer was attentive, punctual, and very professional. She always responded very quickly whenever I had any questions. She was very calming and you could tell she knew exactly what she was doing. When our wedding day came, she was calm and collected, which made me feel very calm and collected. We received all of our photos a month after our wedding which I feel is a VERY fast turn around time! She truly was amazing and I can't thank her enough.

In addition to the amazing service we received the day of the wedding, Chelcie’s photography style, editing, and eye for detail make her a really special photographer.

    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!

She was blown away, as I knew she would be, by his work and loved how his wedding videos felt so natural, candid, and also didn't look like every other wedding video.

Overall, the entire experience that we had with Paint My Mind Photography was absolutely outstanding and I am very excited to work with Brittany again.

    My husband and I absolutely loved how our pictures turned out and the whole process itself. My husband was sweating being nervous to doing a photo shoot and Hana made it so easy and comfortable. Our photos were stunning and we had so much fun taking them

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

    I was that kid enchanted by Disney Princess movies and the idea of "true love". My true love revealed itself through photography. At 8, I grabbed my dad's camera and was hooked, thrilled to show people my world. I started with zoo animals, friends, and siblings, eager to freeze moments in time. As I grew, I learned from local photographers and knew by 17 that photography was my calling. Since then, I’ve captured love in all its forms: couples, new parents, best friends, and the joy of seeing your favorite band live. The world is full of magical firsts, and I'm honored to capture these moments forever.

    I have had Kaitlyn as a photographer for 5 years now. She’s photographed everything for me. Family photos, engagement photos, wedding photos, maternity photos, newborn pictures, professional headshots, and boudoir. They all come out amazing and she is so good at making my family smile in front of the camera. She’s phenomenal at capturing the special moments too!

    Ally was a rockstar from day one. She responded to my Zola inquiry promptly and we set up a phone conference for the same week. The call went smoothly because Ally is such a professional. She went over all the key information, even adding things I didn't even think of. I knew right away that this was not her first rodeo. We planned a second call closer to the date to review the photo order and any shots that I wanted. The day of our wedding, Ally was there ready and waiting. She got moments from our first step out of the car, all the way to my guests getting down on the dance floor. After the wedding, Ally checked in to give us an estimated time for photo turn around, and she delivered in less than two weeks! The photos came out beautifully and we were able to download all of our photos to keep. I can recommend Ally with confidence because she, without a doubt, is the best.
