Jana Blue Photography (Photo + Film)

5.0

Wheaton, IL
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves Bedford Park, IL

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.

My husband and I reached out to Jana Blue Photography to take photos for our courthouse wedding ceremony and wedding reception. We were absolutely blown away by how amazing our photos turned out. Everything truly exceeded our expectations! From the time we reached out to Jana, she was so responsive and she took the time to truly get to know us. We were able to meet via Zoom before the session to make sure we were on the same page with everything that we had in mind for our photos. Jana did such a great job of capturing all of the small details and special moments of our wedding day. My husband and I are not very photogenic, but Jana made us both feel confident and comfortable throughout the photo session. We highly recommend Jana Blue Photography!!

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

My name is Kate Scott Daly, and I can't wait to meet you! I'm a Chicago native and have been a professional photographer for nearly a decade. I am obsessed with capturing the perfect moment that will make you gasp and say "Oh my god, this is amazing!" Being a queer woman, it is so important to me that you feel safe, loved, and beautiful every step of the way. If you're looking for someone you can relax with and just be yourself, you've found me! Let's face it: it can be awkward being in front of a camera. Even I feel nervous sometimes! I understand that anxiety and will do everything I can to make you feel fabulous!

Kate was an absolute dream to work with! She brought the energy and fun we were looking for! It was really important to us as a queer couple to have a photographer who understood this and could make everyone feel comfortable. Kate went above and beyond to ensure she could best support us. From the very first phone call I was excited to work with Kate and didn't even talk to any other photographers! I loved Kate's work online and knew she would be great to work with! Kate was fun, energetic, creative and thoughtful in her work! The pictures turned out wonderful! Kate helped us make memories that I will cherish forever!

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

Hi, I’m Teri! I’m a Chicago based Wedding Photographer. I approach my photography as an artistic craft. I strive to create images that are emotional and striking.

When I tell my other married friends how much she was, they’re shocked because she outdoes it with the communication, amount of photos, and on our day she not only stood in line for us, but dealt with our incredibly overbearing parents.

Hiring Nicole to take our wedding pictures was one of the BEST decisions I made during my wedding planning journey. Not only is she an AMAZING photographer, she is fun to work with, very flexible and extremely reliable. She also edits your photos very quickly so you get the final photos soon after your event! Her pricing is very reasonable, especially after you see what a great job she does. You can tell she is extremely passionate about her business and the art of taking photos. She truly cares about your special day (even though she’s been to thousands of weddings) you never feel like she is on auto pilot. I loved working with her so much for my wedding, I am hiring her again to take family photos of my newborn baby!! Don’t hesitate to hire her, you definitely won’t regret it!!

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.

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.

Look no further - you have found your photographers, trust me! Clayton and Jordan have all of the checks, and then some. They photographed my wedding, as well as my sisters wedding, her sister-in-laws wedding, my brothers wedding, and one of my closest friend's wedding and in ALL cases their presence and quality of work was absolutely perfect. They have a way of bringing a sense of comfort and ease while photographing you and your families, balancing professionalism and charisma to make portraits super comfortable - they have kind and genuine personalities and obviously passion for the art they create and for providing their clients with a beautiful and meaningful reflection of important life milestones. Their talents are emphasized in this uncanny ability to create the most enchanting and magical candid photographs! When I looked through our wedding photos for the first time I remember thinking - how did they possibly capture that moment, I didn't even see them near us! Our pictures have this intangible quality where they almost reflect the exact "personality" of our wedding day. They have the experience, artistic eye, and this interpersonal empathy that will leave you with absolutely no regrets. We are forever grateful for Clayton, Jordan, and Lux Everlasting.

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.

We booked Jennifer for our wedding set to take place in Nov 2022 because her photos were moody and gorgeous. She was the only photographer that my now-husband Alex and I could agree upon when looking through portfolios. Jennifer absolutely blew us away when she did our engagement shoot, we had a hard time believing she could one-up it for the wedding. But in true artistic fashion, she did, and we are so blessed to have found her. Not only was she so easy to work with, but she was incredibly accommodating when we had to suddenly move our wedding due to a severe family emergency. We can’t say enough about her, honestly. But my husband and I both agreed that we will be flying her out wherever we are every life milestone from here on out. Do yourself a favor and just book her!

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.

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.

From start to finish, my wife and I were truly overwhelmed by Sam’s talent, calm demeanor, and overall organization even on a hectic wedding day.

Sam always made us feel incredibly comfortable and it came across in our photos. We could not picture our wedding day without him there (and even wanted him to stay as a guest). He truly went above and beyond in every aspect, helping out and organizing wherever he was needed! We are so happy with all of our photos, and will be sure to continue using Sam in future life events! A true Chicago gem! We did all the work for you - the search is over!!

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 Lindenfeld is literally the most incredible photographer and you should hire her right this second. My fiancé (then boyfriend) hired her to capture our engagement, and she absolutely hit it out of the park, exceeding any and all expectations. Truly. First of all, she was the absolute best person to have there during our special moment -- she managed to blend into the background so I barely noticed her during the proposal itself, while capturing literally the most amazing photos ever, and then when we transitioned into taking photos post-proposal, she was the most kind, enthusiastic, helpful, and wonderful. Her energy was infectious. (She even let me borrow her jacket to warm up because it was a chilly day, and she taught us how to spray champagne -- totally above and beyond!) Second, the photos themselves are AMAZING. I cannot believe how incredibly she captured the moment! I was in shock over how many different moments she managed to photograph (from the proposal itself to our family's reactions) and how beautiful every single photo was, without exception. They were ridiculously, insanely wonderful, and we will absolutely forever cherish them forever. To say I was glad that my fiancé found Alana would be a huge understatement. In sum, HIRE ALANA! You won't regret it. She is truly the best!!

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
I found Zach here on Zola after a long search for a photographer that matched my style. Not only was he flexible with the timing of the wedding but such a fun guy to have around. He made my partner and I feel comfortable instantly and truly made the whole experience a breeze. I have only seen a few sample photos from the wedding so far and he has already deserved a raving review.

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.

Wow! We have had just such a lovely time working with Emma. We booked her because we’d heard she was great with making couples feel at ease in front of the camera and that was absolutely true. Our engagement photo shoot was fun and easy, and even better the photos turned out amazing. She makes sure to get the pictures parents will want and then makes sure there’s time for photos that really show our character. Prior to our wedding, she was helping to keep us on track with any tasks and she helped answer any questions we had along the way. Day of, she kept us calm and having fun with the photos. Emma is this great balance of buttoned up and professional and easy going so you never feel stressed. We got our first look gallery back just two days after our wedding and WOW. She has such a great eye and knows just what to do to get great shots. We will absolutely work with her again and would recommend her to anyone in a heart beat.

I love to explore the urban environment with you and make your wedding portraits feel real and true to your life in the city. But I also take any chance I get to drag you to the woods or the beach for some barefoot wedding portraits. Aren’t we so lucky to have those right here in the city!

Awarded Best of Zola
Essi was just phenomenal to work with. You can tell she is very passionate and serious about what she does & it definitely displayed in her work. The entire process from start to finish was seamless. Essi met with my fiance & I twice, once when we first inquired about photography for our wedding and again a month before our big day. A lot of photography agencies and freelancers will just hop on a call or zoom to meet with you, but not Essi. She made it a point to meet with us & get to know us in person. Having never serviced a middle eastern style wedding, she absolutely crushed it! She was so attentive and took her time with us; never rushed us or made us feel like we were just another booking. She got to know us on a personal level and took interest in who we were as a couple. As someone who lost a large deposit to a previous photography agency who outsourced knockoff photographers, I am so incredibly happy I stumbled upon Essi. Her work is simply unmatched, professional and so so sooo beautiful. You will not regret booking with Essi.

She captured Matthew and I laughing and showing genuine love for each other. Our pictures weren’t staged, they are real. When it came to plan the pictures for the wedding, Allie made sure to have a full list from me of our must have pictures. Having her there literally brought peace to our wedding day. While getting ready Allie and I spent some time alone and she was so peaceful and so grounding, exactly what I needed. When it came time for the ceremony she captured exactly what we had talked about. We got married at a catholic church and the pictures are absolutely stunning. During the reception, I was very much stuck in the moment and Allie came up to me during sunset to ask if i wanted to go take some newlywed sunset pictures, at the moment I said no it’s fine. About 5 minutes later, Allie came back to double check I was sure I wasn’t going to regret it. I knew she was right and that I should take the time to take the pictures. They’re now my favorite pictures. I love them so so much and I can’t even imagine not having those! All thanks to her grace and patience but at the same time allowing me to be at peace with the timeline! We took dancing pictures, and fun pictures and last private dance pictures. They’re amazing. I would not ever change the decision to book Allie. We booked Allie with a second shooter. She has the best network and we absolutely loved our second shooter as much as we love Allie.

I began my career as a photojournalist working for newspapers and magazines documenting current events, sports and pop culture. Creating meaningful images is at the heart of being a photojournalist and it's this mentality that I bring to my wedding photography. I work to create timeless images that truly tell the story of one of the most important days of your life.

As a long-time wedding and event planner, I've been working alongside Peter Thompson for many years. He has been on my list of preferred wedding vendors since I began working in the Chicagoland area. I find Peter to be extremely personal, professional, and reliable. In coaching my clients, I recommend they find a photographer who they enjoy being around because, quite frankly, the couple will spend more time with the photographer than with the planner or anyone else during the day! In seeking out a photographer, you also want someone who will smile and get along with your guests so they feel comfortable getting their photo taken. Additionally, his photos are always on point! You'll find his photos to be consistent and traditional in that they will withstand the test of time. In my opinion, he is one of the most reliable photographers in our city! Every one of my clients is always so happy they went with Peter as their photographer.

I made a conscious decision early on in my career that I wanted to LOVE what I do and do what I love. With a bachelor’s degree in graphic design and photography you could say I’m one of the few that stuck with my major and still love it to this day. I’m a helpless romantic, a wife, a mother, a worldwide traveler a marathon runner and a wedding photographer. Deciding who will bring your memories to life is one of your most important ones. When the whirlwind and excitement of the day is over, beautifully captured images will be what help you revisit the romance, emotion and spirit of all of those little moments.

Don’t hesitate to book Christine as your photographer for your next big event, she was incredible! Christine works with you from the start to craft a photography package and schedule that work best for you and your event. Not only does she make you feel so comfortable (and help loosen up any stiff subjects!) during the photography sessions, but she captures the best shots based on the natural light (or lack there of since we had a winter wedding where the sun set early) – and they all turned out perfect. Christine photographed our engagement pictures and our wedding pictures. Both events were impacted by weather and it didn’t even matter thanks to Christine. She turned a rainy day into pure magic, allowing us to have the best pictures as memories. One thing we had never considered when booking a photographer was their ability to help you plan a timeline and stick to that timeline – Christine is by far the best at this! Even with our catholic ceremony, pictures, and reception spanning over 10 hours – she kept us on schedule, while still getting all of the shots that we wanted. We find ourselves still flipping through our wedding pictures everyday, and it was by far one of our best vendor choices. Thank you Christine!

I'm just a suburban girl who decided to turn her dreams into a reality. I'm all about building relationships and connections. After all, that's what wedding photography is all about. I do this job every weekend because I'm one of those people that is obsessed with pictures. Not just for a living, but for myself. I understand the value in photography. I do this for people who are just like me. For the ones who cherish those photos hanging on the walls. The photos still in that purple glitter album from 2002 of you and your friends in Limited Too. Those memories are all we have from the anchors that built us. Photos are proof that we have lived

Awarded Best of Zola
I work in the corporate client service industry, so when it came to my vendor team, I had incredibly high standards as I understand what quality client service looks like. Lauryn exceeded every expectation I had by a mile. In my 18 months of working with her, her communication was always timely (typically 24 hrs) and highly effective. Before I had signed a contract, she helped me build a high-level timeline for the wedding, got to know what was important to me and answered my (many) questions. She reconfirmed details with me throughout the process to ensure we were always on the same page, knew my shot list front to back, and gave me multiple status updates throughout wedding day so I would know that she was capturing everything I had requested. We had many group formal shots which she powered through with no issue during cocktail hour (which is a feat in itself). As a type A bride, she was a dream come true to work with. Her personality was incredible - she kept us so comfortable, happy and laughing throughout the day. My husband and I are not at all photogenic people naturally, but after working with Lauryn at our engagement shoot, I had no concerns that we would look unnatural on our wedding day, which resulted in a no-stress, all fun wedding day. This was my #1 concern going into the wedding process, so to not pay it a thought on the wedding day exemplifies the total confidence that Lauryn inspires in her couples. On the wedding day she took complete charge of the day in the best way possible. The remainder of my vendor team was on the less experienced side so Lauryn was the one doing the heavy lifting of keeping us on schedule, which she did flawlessly. This was also her first time working at my venue, so I was able to see her keen eye for beauty in action, picking out various locations for our photos. Each photo and location turned out better than the next even though she didn't have a pre-existing shot location list to turn to which really speaks to her eye for turning the ordinary into extraordinary. Our galleries for the engagement shoot & wedding were turned around faster than I had known was humanly possible with no sacrifice on quality to meet those tight timelines. (Our engagement photos came the next day and our wedding gallery was delivered within two weeks, which I believe are her general turnaround times depending on what time of year it is). One final note on something I had not seen highlighted in other reviews. Normally I think that guest and reception dancing photos are nice to have but generally aren't super memorable. This is NOT at all how Lauryn's photos were. Each photo of the guests is something that they could frame in their own homes despite them not being the main focus of the day. Lauryn took the care to photograph as many couples as possible during the Anniversary Dance, so now they have beautiful keepsakes celebrating their own marriages, not only mine. Overall, Lauryn managed to capture the spirit of the day from start to finish, including the little touches I worked so tirelessly on. She truly thinks of everything, gives the wedding day her all, and is worth every single penny of her investment cost and honestly so much more. I will scream a recommendation for her from the rooftops to every couple I know who gets engaged going forward (especially if you are a Swiftie).

I truly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer on our wedding day. She had done my graduation pictures, so I wanted to have her do our wedding pictures due to how amazing the grad pictures came out. She is extremely proactive - she had us meet 2 times before the wedding in order to go over details and background on my husband and I. I could truly see that she genuinely cares about each of her clients and giving them the best day possible and figuring out what’s important to each couple. I really appreciate this because felt like a collaborate effort. On the day of the wedding, she had the BEST energy. Her joy, positivity and personality truly shine and radiate. I received so many comments on how much guests loved our photographer because of how lively and wonderful she was. Additionally, she was extremely creative by having us do table shots and working with the DJ to turn it into a fun game of which table was the fastest. We and our guests had such a fun time with this idea, and how we were able to get pictures with all our guests. I truly can’t recommend LaTosha enough. She is authentic, creative, radiant, talented, and so wonderful to work with. Our wedding day and pictures came out beautifully and because of her it was stress free and fun!

As an event coordinator I look for vendors who are professional, a great value, and a team player with the other vendors at the event. Doru & Claudia Halip are at the top of that list. They have a real caring for their clients needs, making sure the photographic part of the day goes smoothly, with no drama. Many photographers do phenomenal work, however it is all about them, not the Bride & Groom. Doru & Claudia stay in the background, and their work is amazing. Many of their finished pieces have been magazine worthy, and have been published. You don't have to be a model to have incredible photographic memories of your big day, if you hire H Photography!

Not only did she help me but when my mom had questions regarding ‘getting ready’ photos, Janet assisted my mom personally and helped answer any questions she had. When COVID hit, Janet was sympathetic and understanding. She checked on me numerous times after our initial postponement. When we realized our wedding was about to be postponed for a second time, we decided to have a small ceremony at our home. Janet jumped at the idea, gave us additional suggestions and recommendations and literally was there every single step of the way. Janet and Jeff were professional and exceeded any expectations we had for our unconventional day. They were there at every moment, ready to capture shots I never would have expected or thought of.

Thank you for stopping by and looking through my work. I approach wedding photography with two philosophies: One is to be photo-journalistic. Capturing those unexpected moments, a flirty glance, a secret kiss or a burst of laughter. These are the small details and intimate moments that tell your story. My other philosophy is to be editorial. To direct, compose, and create interesting shots. These are the pictures that will be high-impact, dramatic and creative. Although I have a photo-journalistic approach throughout the day, I understand the importance of formal family pictures. So, be assured we will get all of those as well.

We are a close-knit family of photographers, filmmakers, and designers with a kindred passion for storytelling. Our vision for a collective studio was dreamed up to answer the problem of frustrated brides and grooms waiting ages to see their photos or just get an email back and the problem of artists burned out on business-running because it’s impossible to do it all.

Right after we booked our church and venue, Studio This Is was next on our list because we couldn't imagine having anyone else shoot our wedding. We loved that Nancy and her team could beautifully capture both the major moments of our wedding and those little moments and reactions we might have missed. My husband and I were also drawn to the timelessness of her black & white photography. Studio This Is was one of our easiest and best vendors to work with. Nancy was always willing to work around my husband's unpredictable surgery residency schedule and even had an extra meeting with my parents to ensure that they felt comfortable before the big day. I would also recommend doing an engagement shoot before the wedding; not only do we love the pictures we have from that day, but it also gave us a chance to figure out what poses and locations worked best for us. As a couple who doesn't love taking photos, Nancy and her team made us feel completely comfortable at our engagement shoot and on our big day. Our wedding party and families loved them too! The photos from our wedding came out even more beautifully than we could have ever imagined, and we can't wait to finish putting together our album. I highly recommend Studio This Is and their associated partners (Wholehearted Films and Snapbooth Chicago) to perfectly capture your big day!

Booking Chantal was the best decision I made. She made my husband and I feel so relaxed during both our engagement shoot and wedding. She was just as laid back as we were, but still got things done on time and professionally. Our engagement shoot she helped my husband relax since he was so nervous (not a big photoshoot guy). And during our wedding Chantal and her second shooter Erika made myself and my wedding party and guests feel at ease. I owe them both so much for going ABOVE AND BEYOND on my wedding day. My day of coordinator had really dropped the ball and I was so stressed out, but then I went back into the bridal suite and Chantal and Erika were having a dance party to cheer me up! They really saved the day and were so good about pivoting and adapting to our rain plan. The best part was - I didn't feel like I took pictures ALL day. I felt like I had a balance and was able to talk with my guests and enjoy my day! But I still had the BEST sneak peak photos and am obsessed.

I am a Chicago-based wedding + elopement photographer. I am available worldwide and love to travel! I document genuine moments for couples, no matter who they love. My images are the perfect mix of posed and photojournalistic, giving you gorgeous portraits without missing the important, candid moments you will want to remember for years to come. My approach to wedding days is simple: I want to make sure you have images of you two that you love and cherish and tell your wedding day story.

Tawny did both our wedding photos and our engagement shoot, and we were so happy with both results! She got just the vibe we were looking for and had a great mix of posed and candid shots. Turnaround was quick and all of our guests said our photos were incredible, as well.

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!!!!!

From my first moment as a wedding photographer, I knew I wanted to kick tradition to the curb. I was tried of seeing wedding photography that excluded the communities that I hold closest. I work hard to form a real connection with each of my clients to craft an experience that captures their unique spirit.

100/10 would recommend! Ashley & her partner, Liv, were incredibly easygoing, and downright fun to be around. Ashley took the time to go over how she could capture the moments that were most important to us, our desired aesthetic, and wedding planning timelines/details along the way. During the formal shoots, she guided us in all the right ways, and the organic moments she captured outside of that were thoughtfully executed. She was timely with the edits and the final photo galleries are everything I hoped for (and more). When I say I cannot stop looking at our wedding photos, I’m not exaggerating - they are stellar. We’ve also gotten countless comments from friends and family about how perfectly our wedding day was captured. I was lucky enough to stumble upon the Unabridged Photography website after perusing for wedding photographers in the Chicago area on the Knot; I was struck by how well she captured light, movement and detail (not to mention our mutual love for ABBA discovered in her Bio). I cannot recommend Ashley (and Liv) more highly!

Widlet Photography

5.0

Chicago, IL
  • Photojournalistic style

Since I was 12 years old, I have always loved to photograph my friends and family, that was with Kodak Film but it wasn't as easy as it is now, photography has been my passion since then. I studied Journalism and photography in 2002 at the Institute of LAINSPROCOM and have been shooting weddings and portraits professionally since 2006. I describe my photography as honest, sincere, and intimate. My primary focus is the beauty and raw emotion in each moment. I love the romance of weddings, I approach each event and each session with attention, honesty, and love. I put my heart and soul into my work.

Our experience with Widlet was amazing. He is such a fun photographer to be around. He is very professional and got the eye to catch the perfect shot. In overall we ended with BEAUTIFUL PICTURES. I would recommend him without a doubt.
