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!

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 is truly amazing. She is sweet, professional, personable, and a wonderful photographer. She has a way of making awkwardness disappear and has an incredible eye for photography. We had such an absolute blast with her and the photos are incredible so far!!

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!!

Hi, I'm Jeremy: Creative Director & Lead Photographer. I have over 200 weddings and countless corporate gigs under my lens. Enter The Photo Collective: I've assembled a team of skilled associates who share my passion. We're not just photographers. We’ve been in the trenches and we know this business. We will be there to shepard you through the day. FYI, I don't list availability on our calendar here as we have 10 photographers and typically have talent available. Send us a message to inquire, thanks! :)

We worked with Jeremy and could not have been happier. He is so easy to work with, and he truly listens. He brings experience and a creative eye to the planning process. We hadn't worked with a professional photographer before, so we leaned on him to share many ideas to ensure we'd like the photos that are now on our wall :) Jeremy recommended poses, places, and who should be in what shot. We have big families, so it was wonderful to have a guide and confidence we'd get all the photos we needed and some fun ones we never would have thought to ask for. He's very easygoing and funny. We'll definitely be working with Jeremy again.

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.

I can't even begin to say how spectacular Megan's work is. She puts so much love into her craft and creates stunning photo stories for a variety of occasions. She is a great location scout and goes above and beyond to get unique and beautiful shots. My husband and I got married at the Salish Lodge at Snoqualmie Falls in Washington. We are huge Twin Peaks fans and live nearby. Megan came out to photograph our wedding and was an absolute dream to work with. We get so many compliments on how epic our photos are! If you want top quality and thoughtful work, go to Megan! She truly loves her craft and it shows.

Hi! My name is Brittany and I LOVE my job. I focus on emotionally driven images and I have the prompts/poses to pull out the magic. Getting a balance of free/wild and structured is my specialty, ensuring you receive the posed pictures that are important but also the images that give you all the feels of the moment. Not sure about what kind of pictures you want? Talk to me! We can incorporate creativity into the shoot that'll show off who you are! Give me a call, I can't wait to meet you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Brittany from Rock 1 Photography was a professional class act from start to finish. My husband is NOT easy to photograph as he gets a bit grumpy in front of the camera. She was able to pull out and capture genuine emotion from him and his REAL smile. He even admitted that he had FUN taking photos. I'm telling you, I didn't think it was possible and yet she did it! Brittany is funny, light-hearted and our images are dreamy, y'all. DREAMY. I have blown up a few to 20x30 sizes and they are stunning. I get compliments on them all of the time. Also, I am not a naturally thin woman. I have curves. Brittany was able to capture all of my best angles and made me feel GORGEOUS. I am telling you this was one of the best investments we've made in the last decade. Time is a thief, but with these images, I feel like we were able to retain a special moment in our lives forever. My experience with Brittany with Rock 1 Photography was incredible. I already look forward to hiring her again!

We just had our wedding this past Friday, 8/21/20. Covid-19 created a lot of uncertainty on how things would turn out. But, there were 2 things that were certain. We were getting married and Justin was going to be there to capture it. Whether it was at the original venue, a boat, or in a tiny backyard. Justin's enthusiasm is so genuine and infectious. I had a ball with him around just waiting to take photos. Then when we started the joy never stopped. It never felt like we were completing a task, just enjoying life. We cannot wait to see the finished product, because Justin is so meticulous in his work and a professional of the highest order.

Wadsworth, IL

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, 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.

The sneaks they released to us have been phenomenal! The whole bridal party & our family are blown away by everything we have seen! One our friends wants their contact number as he was so impressed!

    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.

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.

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.

In the days of Pinterest, every bride to be, or just girl hopping to get engaged, scours the internet, Pinterest, Instagram, etc. looking for the perfect engagement and wedding photos. Egidijus allows you to flood his inbox with all of the inspiration photos. When the time came for my engagement and wedding photos, they delivered! The pictures were better than my inspiration pictures! Egidijus took into consideration the photos and my own personal taste to deliver the most gorgeous photos. I cannot wait to see these printed on my photobook! The video shows each moment: getting ready, first look, ceremony, reception....we got 3 hours of video, highlight and teaser, which I share with my friends on Instagram - it is so incredible. I had hundreds of comments. Even before the weddings, I had a lot of questions, and Ivan from sales helped me a lot with the timeline and planing. Ladies, I cannot recommend IGphotovideo enough. The time you spend with them is so comfortable the pictures and video are a dream.

    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.

    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!

She even was happy to make the trip out to Starved Rock State Park to photograph us in one of our favorite spots for our engagement photo session. Moreover, Michelle is incredibly organized and detail oriented, making her a true joy to work with.

    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 hopped on board to shoot our elopement just a couple days before the event. In the short time leading up we had a quick intro call to say hello, chat expectations, and plan for the shoot. During the ceremony he managed to get shots of our rings and other key moments without distraction - was genuinely surprised looking at the gallery to see what he'd been able to capture without us even realizing on the day! Throughout the shoot he worked with us to capture he sweet moments and the silly ones -- the most fun I've had getting my picture taken. Friends and family who have seen the photos since have nothing but rave reviews, and so do we. An appreciated bonus - print ordering and gallery are well organized and easy to navigate. 12/10 would absolutely work with Anders again.

    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!!

    Heather is amazing!! She was so warm and friendly from our very first call and made us feel so comfortable. Her professionalism shone through in every interaction, but her passion made sure it never felt like she was just doing her job. The day we did our engagement shoot, it was absolutely freezing and we were right on the water. Heather never complained once about the weather, and she made the situation work to our advantage! I hate having my photo taken, and while I was uncomfortable at first, Heather was very patient and soon I felt completely normal. She was able to capture our personalities so well and get amazing shots while never making us feel like she intruded. We loved working with her so much, we wanted to book her for our wedding before we even saw the final shots from the engagement shoot! After seeing the final edits, we knew we had made the right choice. Heather sat with us on a zoom call to go through her top choices from the engagement shoot to get our reactions and feedback, so she can tailor her work for the wedding day to make sure she captures what we want and how we want it. We cannot wait to have her capture our special day!

    We had a very small wedding ceremony due to COVID and we hired Andrew to capture the entire day for us. This included shots of us getting ready, a photo shoot of both of us before the ceremony, the ceremony itself and a small dinner afterwards. We could not have been happier with Andrew's professionalism and his ability to put us at ease. He let us make suggestions and offered his own ideas of shots to take and was able to take charge and slip into the background easily. During the dinner afterwards, we asked him to sit down and join us and he fit right in with our party! We were very happy with the quality and variety of the photos and would absolutely recommend him to all of our friends!

He gave us time to think things through, and we never felt pressured or rushed. On the day of the wedding, he was so easy and fun to work with. He sent us a small film trailer of the wedding the day after, which was so awesome to have right away!

    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.
