Kaitlyn Johnston Photography

Chicago, IL
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,300
  • Serves Big Rock, IL

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.

Sam has second shot two weddings with and for me, and both times I was so pleased with his final images, but more importantly his enthusiasm on wedding days and instincts as a photographer! Sam has such a positive energy about him that makes him the perfect person to have by your side on a wedding or elopement day (whether you're a fellow photographer or the people getting married!), and it's evident in his photos that the couples he works with feel that good energy. Whenever I see his work, I always think that the couples look so relaxed and like they're having a genuinely good time in front of his camera, which is such an important part of capturing the unique love between two people on their wedding or elopement day.

Hey future newlyweds! I'm Jarrod, a wedding photographer that specializes in story telling. Tired of all the bright, overposed, cookie cutter sh*t you keep seeing? Let's create wedding images with real emotion, story, and intention to them. I know being in front of the camera can be awkward. That's why I choose not to pose couples, but instead prompt you to do something like "take off your shoes and run across the field" or " get inside the car and kiss everywhere except the lips". These prompts will help you feel comfortable and also help create candid images. Check out my website for more info :)

Awarded Best of Zola
Jarrod was so professional and made it so easy and fun to take photos that captured our essence and our love. The photos of our special day are now displayed in our home and continue to be a priceless reminder of one of the best days of our lives. Can’t recommend Jarrod enough - thanks for everything 11/10 !!!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Alana did our engagement pictures on location in Joshua Tree. She’s super friendly and communicates very quickly and efficiently with her clients. She did an amazing job getting lots of natural candida and a fantastic job editing them! We got the pictures in a reasonable time frame, and are so happy to have these as memories. Definitely recommend her!!

  • Serves Big Rock, IL

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!

  • Serves Big Rock, IL

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.

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. ​

Kat was a dream to work with! Not only was she professional and timely with everything, she was able to capture our day exactly how we imagined. She made us feel comfortable and calm throughout our wedding day, helping with poses, listening to requests, suggesting different shots, she did it all! She also had the most organized family photo shot list and execution I have ever seen at a wedding. I am in love with her photos and artistic touch.

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

Chicago-based wedding and elopement photographer. I like to make my clients take off their shoes or at least get bare and honest about their love in front of my camera. 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.

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 is amazing. She is a true artist. I have worked with her in various spaces, one in particular that a lot of photographers struggle with because of the lighting, and Megan came back with some of the best, most beautiful, moodiest (chef's kiss) photos I have seen.

A Chicago-based wedding and elopement photographer that values genuine connection, authentic emotions, and getting to know my clients on a deep and personal level. I value capturing your moments and memories exactly how they happen, helping you to remember the feelings of intimacy, love, and warmth of marrying your person.

I truly cannot imagine our wedding day without Jayde- we feel so lucky to have worked with her as our wedding photographer. My husband and I normally hate taking pictures, but Jayde made us feel so comfortable and we had so much fun with her. I am obsessed with our entire gallery and can't believe how well Jayde was able to capture the spirit of our day. I could go on and on about how wonderful our experience was, but I'll end with one quick story. The night before our wedding, the location we had booked for our offsite photos unexpectedly cancelled on us. When I told Jayde, she sprung right into action to help us find alternate options and giving advice- seriously going above and beyond her job duties. With Jayde, you're not just getting a photographer, you're getting a true partner for your special event.

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.

Moira was amazing to work with! Moira photographed our engagement session, an extra session with our dog, and our wedding, and all the pictures were amazing! Moira is extremely professional, experienced, and excellent with communication. When it came to the wedding day, she created the timeline, was responsive to everything I wanted, and made the whole day run so smoothly and stress-free. All of our pictures turned out AMAZING, it was so hard to even choose our favorites. I highly recommend Moira for all photography needs!

The Nicodem team is everything you want and need in a photography team for your big day. Not only are they incredibly personable, they are extremely organized, professional, efficient, and talented. When we began inquiring with photographers for our wedding, we were having a hard time finding the right fit because everything seemed so impersonal. The Nicodems reached out with a beautiful email and wanted to schedule a phone call for our consultation. Our 30 minute conversation turned into an hour because they were so lovely and I felt like they truly cared about getting to know us, learning our story our story, and hearing about our vision for our day! We knew that they would be the perfect fit. Our engagement photos were so fun with them and they turned out incredible. Leading up to the wedding weekend the Nicodems frequently checked in with us to see how we were doing, if we needed anything, and even sent us flowers (how cute is that?!?!). During our wedding day, we weren't worried about anything because we knew the Nicodem Team would take care of everything. We were calm and able to focus on the joy of the day. The Nicodems did a fabulous job organizing my crazy and big family, capturing special moments, and being our pump-up squad. After the wedding they gave us some sneak peeks and we were dying to see more. Within the timeline provided they gave us our full gallery, and 2 years later, we look at it almost monthly. The only regret is that I wish we booked them for video too!! Your wedding photos and video are forever, to make sure they are perfect, make sure you have the Nicodem Team for both!

Featured on Today show and Wedding Day Magazine. I believe everyone deserves to have life's biggest moments captured on camera. But photos turn into heirlooms when the moments are documented in a way that feels absolutely authentically you. No forced emotions, no fake smiles, and certainly no awkward prom-pic poses. Whether you’re dressed to the nines on the day of your wedding or, the dirty white dress that spent more time on the dance floor than the altar let’s capture the authentic you and have a damn good time doing it.

Mary was absolutely marvelous, start to finish. After I reached out she got back to me in less than 24 hours, and was so easy to communicate with in the months leading up to our wedding. We had a mixed wedding with traditional elements and a modern day twist. Mary went out of her way to learn about our culture so that she'd be able to capture all of the special moments. The day of the wedding she was our biggest cheerleader, made us feel so comfortable, and herded people in the right direction. Mary is so passionate about what she does, and her love for story telling bleeds over into everything she does. We're looking forward to receiving our pictures back soon, but from the sneak peak we got, her work is just magical. Highly recommend reaching out to Mary for your special day!

Katie and Dejan are incredible - do yourself a favor, and book them ASAP! From our very first phone call, I instantly felt comfortable with both of them, and could tell that working together would be relaxed and fun, which was exactly what we were looking for. I could tell as soon as we met them for our engagement shoot that we made the right choice. My husband and I are both deeply awkward in front of the camera, which usually makes us very unphotogenic. Katie and Dejan helped us feel comfortable, gave us all the cues we needed to get cute poses, and we had such a great session! It was so nice being able to meet them both and work with them prior to wedding day. On the wedding day, Katie and Dejan were INCREDIBLE. They kept us on schedule, and (when we inevitably got behind because the bridal party was running late in hair and makeup), they stayed calm and collected, got us back on schedule, and never once made me feel rushed or stressed. They even got us some absolutely breathtaking preview photos literally the next day!

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.

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.

Hi I'm Kyle, a Chicago based wedding photographer. I am a romantic at heart and a sucker for a love stories. I strive to get to understand my couples and create images that represent them as authentically as possible.

Awarded Best of Zola
1. Kyle is a true professional - A lot of photographers are great at taking photos but bad a business (Project management, sending you reminders, dealing with difficult family members, coordinating with other vendors, etc.). Kyle has a background in business and I can tell. Feels like I would have him on a consulting project. He works on timelines with you. He gives you firm deadlines, good client management skills. 2. Kyle is good at taking photos - Yup, simple but he takes great photos. I won't get into the weeds but he definitely has some dark and moody ones but some with lighter tones. He does your traditional family portraits, fun photos on the dance floor, but he'll mix in some photojournalistic ones and ones you would expect in a magazine. He was quick to edit and send us photos after the wedding. We didn't have to wait too long. 3. Kyle is fun to work with, he's reliable. He made my wife feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the process. That's huge. It's your wedding day and you want to trust someone. Someone like Kyle. 4. He serves as more than a partner throughout the day and months leading up to the wedding than just a photographer. There is a reason he charges a bit more than some other photographers 5. Personality-wise he was a great medium and I liked it. He's not too bold that he takes over the wedding and distracts from your big day, but he's bold enough to tell people what to do and get the right shots he needs. 6. I would recommend him!

Joanna gives direction well and again, is hilarious. Both communicate SO well and their passion for photography is inspiring. We felt more than comfortable with them along our entire journey!! Our photos are GORGEOUS and they truly captured the memories that we will remember forever. I must include a prime example of how in-tune these two are: I have a scar on my right arm that I am self conscious about and truthfully, it would have been a challenge for anyone to get around. However, our photos limited the number of times my scar was visible, if even at all. A truly unique touch that means so much. We will 100% be booking them to photograph all future events in our lives. I can't say enough about how incredible these two are. Worth every penny and then some!!!

Amanda was amazing. From the beginning she was incredibly communicative and easy to work with. She had lots of great ideas that produced shots my wife and I cherish. To add to that, on our wedding day we dealt with high winds and torrential freezing rain on the Washington coast. Through all of it, Amanda focused on getting the best shots of my wife and I, the ceremony, and our families in the most adverse conditions. She did great!

I would hire her again in a heartbeat. Allie is also very kind&sweet, since the photographer spends the whole day with you it was great to have someone who was just a great human there.

Hi! I'm Kayla - a traveling Milwaukee wedding photographer - and I'm going to make you cry. Wait, what? Don't worry, not in a bad way. Most of my couples say they cry when receiving their wedding photos from me for the first time. Five, ten, fifty years down the road when you open your wedding album, bet I'll get you again. You'll still be surrounded by your loved ones - remembering the happy tears and laughing until your belly hurts - just as you did on your wedding day.

If I could rate Kayla a million stars, I would. She is INCREDIBLE and if you're even thinking about booking her, you should! My wife and I have had the privilege of knowing Kayla since she made the transition to making photography her full-time business. So, once we got engaged and started wedding planning, we knew that we wanted to work with Kayla and man—we were not disappointed. Kayla is so good at her job in the sense that she really takes the time to understand the vibe of each couple, tailoring each session (be it the engagement shoot or the actual wedding) to make sure the pictures are reflective of the couple's style. She also was amazing in terms of helping plan out our day-of schedule. She was so efficient the day-of and she and her team were the best hype-people. When we got our preview back (she's also SO fast), I started bawling again because they are just so beautiful. She captured the emotions, the moments, and the details so perfectly and her editing styling is so dreamy and perfect. I cannot recommend Kayla enough. Not only do we know that we will have beautiful photographs for the rest of our life, but we have a great friend in Kayla now.

We're a husband and wife wedding photography duo! We love meeting new couples and providing a service that will have you looking back at your images years from now and still have you feeling those emotions you felt on your wedding day.

I had my session done by Debra and I felt so comfortable around her! At first, I was super nervous about how to pose and she told me what to do and I felt comfortable after that. I enjoyed every bit of the session and she gave me the edited photos within 3 days max which is awesome! I love the photos and the way she makes you feel beautiful on your special day! :) I highly recommend her for any kind of shoot that you have!

Shawnee was an unbelievable photographer and such a special part of our wedding weekend. From the moment we reached out to her to getting our pictures, she has been incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and deeply kind. She made us feel so at ease and taken care of at our Rehearsal Dinner and on our wedding day. She not only allowed us to be our fullest selves but also encouraged capturing us in ways that felt authentic and not stuck in expected wedding photos or gender roles. She captured our guests so beautifully too, particularly the kids who were in our wedding. Everyone's personalities shone through so wonderfully and the picture are absolutely stunning. We cannot believe how many and how incredible each and every photo is. We cannot recommend Shawnee enough!

  • Serves Big Rock, IL

I'm Savanna, a wedding photographer who specializes in non-traditional and laid-back days. My work is documentary style, and it is my intention that your photos allow you to feel exactly how you did when they were taken, years later.

Working with Savanna and having her with us on our wedding day felt like having a supportive friend and hype woman by our sides all day. :) We are absolutely over the moon with our photos, and cannot stop raving about Savanna to everyone! She captured the most intimate and meaningful details of our wedding day, and we have hardly been able to stop pouring over the photos since we got them. On a gray flood-filled weekend, the colors and joy of everything popped so well in her film and digital shots. Savanna has created memories that are so beautiful that we can turn them into actual art pieces to hang on our walls! She is a true artist and a rare talent, and working with Savanna was the best decision we made for our wedding. We are so thankful for her!

Bob & Dawn Davis Photography & Design

5.0

Chicago, IL
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $11,500
  • Serves Big Rock, IL

We are blessed to photography many weddings & events around the world. We've had the honor to photograph many celebs as well. All our clients are a blessing & we know it’s an honor to be chosen to photograph their memorable event. We are grateful to all who has given us the privilege to work with them. We strive to tell our couple’s story & reflect their energy in each photograph. Like Elton John & Bernie Taupin, we work in two rooms: Bob is the principal photographer & handles all the logistics of our shoots. Dawn completes our vision by editing photos & making each image sing, then designs a fine art book to encapsulate the each story.

Bob & Dawn were nothing short of amazing to work with. My husband and I changed our wedding plans quite a bit, but decided to move forward with a small and intimate wedding on our original date. Bob & Dawn were so accommodating and easy to work with, they took a ton of stress off my plate. Every single picture from our day is perfect. Bob captured every moment that I was hoping for....AND MORE. I feel as if I have an intimate relationship with the two of them now, they were involved in some pretty important and special moments of my life, and I am so grateful to have met them and gotten to work with them during a stressful time. Although I had a COVID wedding, you would truly never tell from our photos and everything I was hoping for was delivered by this dynamic duo. I know I will stay in touch with them over the years, and am grateful to have worked with them when I did!

The easiest and most special part of my wedding!! I got married last August 2022 and planned it all by myself while being a medical student. Gubert Photos made the photography aspect of our wedding so easy and incredible - not to mention the actual photos, which were everything we wanted and more! Having this day captured was one of my biggest priorities and Gubert Photos did not fail me once. I was able to fill a whole scrapbook with all of our favorite moments from our wedding and thanks to the quality of the photos, we look at it all the time. I would recommend this company to anyone looking to capture any special party or event and I anticipate working with them again in the future!! Thanks again for being great!!

I have been shooting professionally for nearly ten years throughout Indiana--though I am very eager to travel with my camera! I bring a creative, moody vibe to my photographs that aim to tell your story in it's own unique beauty. I love helping tell & creating stories, and have held various day jobs from newspaper reporter to behavioral therapist. I know that my job touches almost as heavily in service as it does in the arts, and utilize all of my qualities to work with all of your vendors so that YOU have the best day possible!

From initial email, to engagement shoot, wedding day, and final album wrap up, working with Kelly was a dream! She's professional, organized, and so incredibly talented. My visions for our wedding album were not only achieved by far surpass by Kelly's skill. I recommend her to everyone who needs a talented photographer for any life event. She's simply the best!

Angelina Carrasquillo Captured

Channahon, IL
  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Big Rock, IL

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

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