Kara Evans Photographer

Kankakee, IL
  • Classic style

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

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

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

Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving and laughing. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I got you!

Lacie made our wedding day the weeks leading up to it so enjoyable and stress free. As I stressed about our timeline for the day, Lacie sat down with me and figured every detail out & made it seem so easy & I was so happy with everything we discussed! On the day of, she arrived early to take pictures of the girls getting ready & had the help of her husband to take pictures of the boys, and they were both so amazing. They were so present and fun to work with at the wedding, all while making sure we stayed on schedule! We even got some sneak peeks back like the next day, which made us so happy. They exceeded our expectations with the high quality of pictures they were able to get. They’re both simply amazing and such kind & fun people, we can’t thank them enough for making our day perfect! They fit in so well with all of our crazy family and friends, it seemed like they were just there to enjoy our day with us! I highly recommend them for ANY picture needs:)

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!

My name is Elliot Stokes and I am a photographer located in the Madison, WI area, but I work all across Wisconsin and Illinois. I have been drawn to the camera since I was young, but becoming a father has really shown me the magic behind capturing the most candid and beautiful moments of our lives.

I absolutely love what I do and look forward to every new experience and opportunity this journey takes me on!

Elliott is amazing to work with. He is friendly and very considerate of your needs. He is also very fun, has a great sense of humor and will make you feel at ease when working with him. As an owner of a wedding services company, it is always a pleasure to work with a photographer who can masterfully do their job without being overbearing or demanding on my DJ/MCs or other service providers.

I have a home in Lansing and Holland and I travel all over Michigan capturing my clients from Lansing to Grand Rapids to the west coast of Lake Michigan to northern Michigan, Mackinac Island and Traverse City to areas of Detroit! I also have condo access in Clearwater, FL and Breckenridge, CO. This allows me to be local to multiple places and states! This career is so much more than just showing up and taking photos. It's emotion, it's detail, it's getting to know my clients and capturing each of them uniquely.

Dani was phenomenal to work with from the very beginning. Her communication and professionalism are top notch yet she made us feel super comfortable like we're old friends. My now husband & I had never had professional pictures done and we were really nervous for how our wedding photos would turn out naturally because of that and being naturally introverted. Dani got us comfortable at our engagement session and all of our photos from our engagement session to our wedding day turned out so amazing!! HIGHLY recommend to hire Dani!!

Capturing wedding days is my bliss. We may start as strangers but after , many "clients" consider me family and I take care of family. Forever Faithful Photos isn't a company full of random photographers learning their skills under a company name. Forever Faithful Photos is my "baby". I photograph your wedding day, I edit the photos and you have my promise that your happiness with your wedding photos is my top priority.

Tiffany was amazing! She came to my house in the morning to take pictures of the girls, then went to where my fiancé was getting ready to take his pictures, and then met us at the venue. She was very punctual and friendly. Tiffany is SUPER easy to work with and her prices are very reasonable. The photos came out amazing! My fear was that the photos would be “over edited” since I have seen that before. However, Tiffany made my photos look very professional and captured my vision 100%! My wedding photos are high quality, natural looking photos which I love! If I could go back, I would not hesitate to use Tiffany again.

Bright and colorful wedding photographer based in Chicago and Seattle but available to capture the nostalgia of your wedding day no matter where you live. I'm passionate about your story, personality, and vision.

Laura did engagement photos for us in the middle of winter in Colorado, which is a challenge to begin with, and she greatly exceeded all our expectations. She suggested several locations for our shoot and was very flexible on the day-of due to weather conditions. We selected a mountain/lake location, and Laura was an expert at taking shots with different lighting and in different scenery around the venue. She made it really easy and comfortable for us to transition for our outfit changes, too. She came prepared to help fix my hair and makeup throughout the day and gave great advice on positioning and stance for different shots. My husband and I LOVE our photos and give all the credit to Laura for making sure they came out so beautifully, even in such extreme conditions! She also did an amazing job at editing our photos and providing finishing touches. Laura was also one of our photographers for our beach-side wedding a few months later. She took our favorite photos of the whole event and captured the most special moments beautifully. Thank you, Laura!

The rest is pretty much history. A few of my favorite things: Darth Vader, the Space Jam soundtrack, traveling, DC comics, Mac & Cheese, chicken marsala, more cheese, serial killer and mythology podcasts, and allll the doggos!

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.

It’s hard to put into words how incredible Mary is. From the moment we booked her, we knew we had made the right choice. Mary meticulously crafted mood boards, timelines and provided invaluable advice from the engagement shoot to the wedding. She has a warm and vibrant spirit that makes you feel comfortable and excited. We found many times throughout the wedding day we felt most calm with Mary while taking pictures. You won’t find another photographer like her, willing to go the extra mile to deliver a vision. We cannot thank Mary enough for our beautiful photos. They are mementos of a perfect day we will cherish forever.

Norwalk, CA

Jason "Snorlax" Cun is an all around photographer that currently resides in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in the heart of Los Angeles, where he found his calling in photography. He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.

We are Katie and Dejan (pronounced Dayin), we met each other in high school and we’ve been together ever since (time flies when you’re having fun!). Photography is something that we both have always had a passion for, and it wasn’t until we started to plan our own wedding that we realized we wanted to turn our passion into a career. Aside from photography, we love to spend time with our two dogs, Stella and Blaire. They are Australian Shepherds with HUGE personalities, and they are a big part of our lives. We are excited to start this journey and we can’t wait to become friends with you during it!

Awarded Best of Zola
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! I could not be happier with choosing Caitlin Davis photography - would highly recommend them for your wedding, engagement, or any special event! They are the absolute best!

Histore and her team did a phenomenal job! Even before my wedding day, Histore made sure to be in constant contact with me and made sure that any questions or concerns I had were addressed before my big day. On the day of the wedding, both Histore and her assistant, Ailani, arrived on time and were ready to go. They captured all the significant moments as well as quite a few intimate moments that you don't even realize are special until you see the pictures. Both were extremely professional, patient, and accommodating of whatever was asked of them. They also went above and beyond just being photographers, helping with everything from holding my dress to fixing my hair to make sure I looked my best in all of the photos. The pictures themselves came out beautifully. Me and my husband absolutely loved them! Would definitely recommend to anyone I know getting married in the Chicago area.

Sarah did an amazing job from the get go. She showed up earlier then she said she would and got some great shots I didn't even know she was taking. She was around for the entire night and captured the essence of our wedding. We are so happy with our pictures and the quality of work provided by Sarah.

I'm going to break this down as simply as possible...... Melissa is a dream come true. She is everything you could ask for in a photographer and SO MUCH MORE. She's professional, kind,an excellent communicator, and has the best creative eye. But that's not all that makes Melissa great; she has the ability to make you feel comfortable. My husband is a shy, introverted kind of dude - the kind who'd rather do household chores than pose in front of a camera and smile - and Melissa has this nature about her that made him feel relaxed and at ease to catch our best moments. All of that is just touching a little bit on the SKILL Melissa has. Besides her exceptional talent, she is a joy to be around, Melissa brightens a room! You can't help but feel like your best self around her... it makes for some really wonderful digital lifetime memories. Can't say enough about what a treasure Melissa is. 10 out of 5 stars, easy.

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.

For as long as I can remember I have always been around a camera. Growing up, my Mom was a big documenter of life freezing childhood moments in prints and recording videos. For my ninth birthday I received my first camera. GAME CHANGER. Boy was it fun to step on the other side of the camera. I was unstoppable, never letting my camera leave my side. From then on I cannot remember I time I hadn't owned a camera... or two... or three! Giving other the gift of memories is what brings me the most joy in life. To know that they will have moments they loved shared and reminisced for generations to come. That is everything.

Joy has been absolutely wonderful to work with in all capacities. She puts a lot of effort into getting to know her clients with personal touches that do not go unnoticed. Most photos taken of me (the bride) in normal life are of the marathon / running photo variety, so I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel with more posed couple photos. Joy made everything feel so natural and easy between both the engagement shoot and the wedding day. Joy is extremely organized and is fantastic with time management - her template for the timeline worked so well for further planning. When the ceremony ran over, she got us back on target and moving out of the church while getting all the photos we had requested. She has such great vision for small details and how things will photograph - I often said “I trust your vision!” and the photos turned out so stunning! I especially wanted to remember the day in color, and Joy absolutely delivered on that (and quickly, too - the sneak peeks came back the next day!). She truly captured the magic of a fairytale day, and I am thankful to her and her team for their hard work. Joy is an invaluable asset to have on your wedding day, and you truly will not regret booking with her.

Things are really loud and your mom asks you when you've eaten last when you walk in the door. If you come from one of these families, you know exactly what I mean. When my son was born I picked up a camera and embarked on a challenge to learn as much as I could about digital photography. I love to be with people and I love to make people feel good about themselves. We should all have a hype girl and I'd love to be yours.

My name is Amanda Montgomery and I am Arrae Photography based out of Grand Rapids, Michigan. The name Arrae (pronounced [uh-rey]) came from my first initial and my middle name, Rae, added an extra r and made a new word. I wanted something unique that was also me, the idea came to mind one day and it just fit. Being a photographer is all I've ever wanted to do with my life. When I was 12 I saved up my babysitting money to buy my first 'big time' camera. I formed Arrae Photography in 2003 as a part-time venture while I worked at local photo labs, went full time in 2008.

Amanda was incredible to work with, she was so detail oriented every step of the way. Our photos are absolutely incredible, we have received SO many compliments on our photos. They did a great job of capturing photos of all my friends too so that they have great photos of themselves from our big day. She promised a 3 week turn around on my photos which I could not believe until I saw it, and sure enough Amanda was finished with all of them a day early even and they look incredible!! Her website is very user friendly for ordering my photos now anytime that I want, and my flash drive of photos arrived with a crystal engraved flash drive—she is just so extra in all the right ways!!! Absolutely I recommend Arrae Photography over and over!!

Hey there! Since you are trusting me to capture these special moments in your life, I figured you should probably know a bit about me, right? I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

Diana is amazing to work with! She is super detail oriented and easy to get along with. Her process really streamlines everything and I felt like I wasn’t doing a lot of unnecessary selections which is amazing as a busy bride! She really makes everything enjoyable and takes her work seriously. Diana truly became such a special person in our lives throughout the wedding planning process and even after. Throughout our wedding weekend she really felt like family. She laughed, cried and celebrated with us. Diana is so talented and passionate about her work and trust me it shows!

Since we are now future besties, here's what you should know about me: My love for portraiture stems from the joy it brings me to make others feel beautiful. Few things make me feel as giddy as photographing weddings, engagements & proposals, and I can't wait to capture the next stage of your love story. My strengths lie in natural lighting, illuminating colors, and catching the candid moments that make you, you.

We hired Aviva Media as both our engagement and wedding photographer and I cannot write enough good things about her!! In the planning process Sarah was consistent and communicative, asking questions I hadn't even thought to consider. We had multiple phone calls where it was clear she wanted to work with me to create the best version of the photos for my now-husband and I. During both the engagement photo shoot and wedding she was an absolute ray of sunshine, making everyone involved feel comfortable, but also ensuring we worked through our planned schedule so we got all of the shots we wanted. Sarah also went above and beyond throughout every part of the process: arriving early to do detail shots, calmly evolving the plan as some timeline hiccups came up during the wedding, and even doing one of my bridesmaid's hair! And, of course, the pictures are GORGEOUS!! I can't imagine ever hiring anyone else - thank you Aviva Media!

Photography was one of the most important things for my wedding as that’s what you have years later so I was VERY picky when it came to selecting a photographer. I wanted someone I could feel comfortable with that I wouldn’t be awkward around and who could help give elegant and timeless photos in a style my husband and I would like. MaddyKate delivered that. She worked with us about everything from privacy, to added shots, to what kind of feel and photos would be important. She even offered to have a second shooter there for us which was a dream come true for certain photos I had wanted. Overall I would highly recommend and would book her again for photos in the future.

My husband and I celebrated our love together with family & friends in mid-October this past 2023 year with the best help we could have asked for. Iris Rose Photography offered a warm and supportive hand while capturing the most important day for us on film. We were truly grateful for her attention to detail when it came to helping iron the wrinkles out of my tula dress, time management, giving out helpful reminders to our loved ones on where they were needed in line up as well as how fast and slow to walk down the aisle. Our special day would not have gone as smoothly without this help. When we received our photos from our wedding day, we were in shock! The moments she captured and the color and clarity of all the photos were stunning! Thank you Iris Rose Photography!

TL;DR: 15/10 -- She simplifies EVERYTHING about wedding planning AND takes the most beautiful photos I have ever seen. She will be taking our pictures for the rest of our lives. They are incredible. Kyra from beginning to end made everything absolute perfection. The pictures, my sanity, basically everything. We brought her to Crozet, VA for our engagement photos and our big day. Pre-Engagement get to know you session: We face-timed for 2.5 hours (not required just happened naturally). She cares about everything and anything you want to share and supports your vision. Engagement Session: She took the time (right after having a baby nonetheless) to come to us and make sure we were happy and comfortable in every way. Kyra got to know Dan (my husband) better and is the only person to this day that can make him smile naturally for pictures. Planning: Kyra provided anything and everything I needed or didn't know I needed. Refined/recommended timelines, pictures, hair styles, dresses, snacks for getting ready, laughter, you name it, she did it. If I had another vendor I needed a second opinion on, she reviewed their work. If I wasn't sure on chicken or crab cakes, she knew what would be a crowd pleaser. Basically she had wisdom and advice well beyond her years to accompany her incredible talent. Weekend of: Kyra and Heather came out early and scoped out the best locations for everything indoors and outside at the exact time the ceremony would be held to make sure the lighting was perfect. Day of: I would have fallen apart without her. Every picture she took was of real, candid, happy moments that my brain was too stressed to miss. When I ripped my dress, she and Heather whipped out sewing scissors to fix the problem. They kept the train moving and captured every moment beautifully. Best to have a photographer dancing with y'all to get the moment just right, and she does that. If I could give more stars I would.

To simply put it, I'm a coffee drinker, taco eater, concert goer, netflix binger, cat & dog mother, and most importantly... a photographer! I've loved taking photos for as long as I can remember. I used to use up all my mom's film on her disposable cameras when I was a kid. Photography was always a hobby for me until 2016 when I started booking weddings, concerts and other special events. After my first wedding, I knew this was what I wanted to do forever.

Jen is amazing. Book her right now, you won’t regret it. Seriously, do it. Both my husband and I were a bit camera shy and nervous about getting our professional photos done but from the moment we met her, Jen put us at ease. Not only did we feel comfortable taking photos with her, but I felt she really captured us, our joy, and our love for each other in all of the photos. After our wedding she sent us hundreds of photos, and every single one is a treasure that I can’t stop looking through. We’ve gotten so many compliments and many have said these are the best wedding photos they’ve ever seen. She’s so committed to you, she even stood in a down pour and slid down a wet hill to get the perfect first look photos. Book her, you will not regret it.
