Springfield, IL
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Harvey, IL

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. My life’s work is photographing people’s most joyous moments—preserving feelings and details that may otherwise be lost. I am obsessed with creating playful compositions, capturing fleeting moments that make the most treasured memories come alive again. The couples I work with place immense trust in me and it is my honor to create art for them.

Teri was amazing, she got amazing posed and candid photos of our day and the turn around time for our pictures was very quick! She was as even able to work with the poor weather we had to get beautiful fog filled pictures and take advantage of the blue cast at sunset! Would highly recommend her to any and everyone!

Jana Blue Photography (Photo + Film)

5.0

Wheaton, IL
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves Harvey, 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!!

Kate Scott 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!

I contacted Kate sometime in November to take photos of my proposal to my then-girlfriend, Morgan. Kate was super easy to work with from the start. She listened to my ideas and gave great input to help me nail down my plan. When the day came, she got the candid photos seamlessly and they turned out great. She was so enthusiastic and happy and it made the shoot a fun time. All of our friends and family love how the final album turned out. I would definitely keep Kate at the top of my list for any future photography needs.

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

The team of IG PHOTO VIDEO was so easy to work with in the planning stages and was very responsive while we were getting all the preparations in place for the wedding. On the wedding day, they were extremely flexible as we had some of our scheduled events get a little behind schedule! When we received the video, we were completely floored at how amazing it was! It exceeded our high expectations and was absolutely breathtaking. The little moments they shot without us even knowing really made the video stand out. All videos were phenomenal, and the choice of music matched perfectly. We love our Full video it is more than 2 hours and shows the whole wedding day.

Hi! I'm Emma, owner and lead photographer of Emma Mullins Photography. Our goal is simple: to capture your vibe, your people, and your love in a way that looks and feels true to life. We just wrapped our 9th Chicago wedding season, and it's been a whirlwind of all things real and fabulous!

We loved working with Emma and her team of associates and videographers! From the very first conversation, we were confident that Emma would capture our day, and with every meeting, our faith in her grew. She listened to what we wanted and added her (much needed) finesse and expertise to perfectly capture our big day. Emma added so much joy to the "photo shoot" component of our day, and fit right in with our family and friends, as evidenced by how authentic the candid shots she captured were. We're so thrilled that we went with Emma Mullins Photography - choosing a photographer can be an overwhelming decision, but again, after that first meeting, we never looked back, and you won't either!

My husband and I worked with Mariah for our micro-wedding in October 2022. It was a lovely experience from start to finish! It’s clear that Mariah cares about her clients as people and is a true-born artist. We had a fairly extensive shot list and even an unforeseen mishap on the big day, but Mariah didn’t miss a beat. We would highly recommend scheduling plenty of time for couple’s portraits—Mariah does them SO well, and these ended up being some of our favorite photos from the wedding. Also, she’s a natural at suggesting poses and shot locations, so come with an open mind and be ready to have a great time! We’re so pleased that we chose to work with Mariah. She not only captured our aesthetic and vision perfectly, but also contributed to our happy memories of the wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
There are not enough kind words to say about Noelle, she was truly incredible to work with. I knew my husband and I wouldn’t be the most natural in front of a camera and she made our sessions SO FUN. You would never know from our photos it was our first time. She did a great job of giving instructions on how to make us look effortless. Our first call (which was over an hour!) I knew we would get along great, we worked together for almost 14 months and I know if I ever need photography sessions in the future she will be the first one I call. She was so quick to turn around photos, we got our sneak peeks before we even got on the plane for our honeymoon! You need to make sure you choose someone special to follow you around all day at your wedding, and we made the right choice. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Noelle!

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

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

My name is Alaura, and I am a Chicago-based photographer with a love of great art, true stories, and old-school glamour. I believe in romanticizing everyday life for the joy of it. For me, that means fine teacups on a Wednesday, bouquets for no reason, and a home full of antiques. This also translates to my photography style!

We loved Alaura’s work so so so much. First She was super punctual and professional. She made sure to capture every detail and never stopped taking pictures which to me was awesome. She also had the greatest ideas of photos for us. I consider myself a very shy person and I usually don’t enjoy when the spotlight is on me. But with Alaura it felt super easy and natural and I got to enjoy every part of this process. She just encourage us to be ourselves and the result of that was amazing. Thank you so so so much Alaura for all your beautiful and amazing work !!

Hi! I'm so glad you're here. I'm a Chicago-based wedding photographer here to help you tell your love story. Through humor, support and documentary storytelling I'm there to capture your day in an authentic way that reflects who you both are, how you love, and how your community shows up for you.

But not only did she make us feel comfortable, she made it feel fun, warm, and most importantly enjoyable. She understood my vision for the photos, but she also used her understanding of light, scenery, and chemistry to create the most beautiful photos that I’ll cherish forever.

Hello! It is awesome to meet you! I am Wendy, an award winning Chicago wedding photographer. My photo journey started 11 years ago shooting concerts! I fell in love with the art of photography and decided to make a career of photographing weddings. As a photographer who is sensitive to my surroundings, I create images that are intuitive to who you are and the story you tell. I love catching the details you so lovingly design into your wedding day and capturing the big picture of how awesome you, your wedding and guests are.

Awarded Best of Zola
As soon as I came across Wendy’s portfolio, I knew she was the photographer for us. When I looked at the photos of couples she had previously photographed, they all had their own unique style. When we sat down with Wendy for our first meeting, it felt like less of a “meeting”, and more like a conversation with an old friend. Yes, she focused on the details of our big day and what that would look like… but even more she focused on getting to know us as a couple. Our engagement photos turned out so beautiful and true to us, I knew we made the right decision. Throughout our wedding day she was a huge source of comfort and calmness. The time we spent with her that day was fun, relaxing, and memorable. The photos we received were absolutely stunning and we couldn’t be happier. Since we’re not planning on getting married again any time soon (haha!) we’ve found other ways to continue to work with Wendy. I’ve been a bridesmaid in multiple “Wendy weddings” and have also hired her to do maternity and family photos for us. Each of those experiences have been just as wonderful. She’s top notch!

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 took the time to sit down with us beforehand to discuss the vibe we were going for and any special details for our event. That extra time for us to get to know him was so huge in helping us feel comfortable and relaxed when the time came to get in front of the camera. On the day of our wedding, Sam was awesome with our friends and family—he got every shot that we hoped for and so many more. No joke, TONS of our guests commented to us how fun and friendly he is and we were like, WE KNOW, he's the best! Our photos turned out so, so well. Sam nailed the portraits, he nailed the candids, he nailed the night-time dance floor shots (and it was DARK). He can do it all and he's just a pleasure to work with. I've recommended him to several friends for engagement and wedding photos because I know he'll kill it and give every client 100%. What a guy!

Spoiler alert: I didn't grow up daydreaming about weddings. Instead, I grew up on shaky home videos and weathered family albums—so I know how important it is to keep memories alive. The problem? The internet is overflowing with photos that focus on trends over authenticity. That's why, in a world filled with filters + fads, I'm here to capture every real moment of your wedding day.

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 and I connected over Instagram shortly after Nick and I got engaged. Over the course of a year, I fell more in love with her shot style, her colors, and just about everything she posted. She and I messaged, liked, and commented so it was nice having as much of a connection as people can have through Instagram before booking. When we decided to book she helped so much with ideas for outfits, time of day, and locations to shoot as well!! When we scheduled our engagement shoot, it worked perfectly to where she could come to our location while she was in Cinci. Day of the shoot, anything that could have gone wrong, went wrong BUT Alana handled everything with such flexibility and ease. We were able to get shots before and after the torrential downpour that forced us to change locations and WE ARE IN LOVE with the photos. I seriously can’t say enough amazing things about her. She makes us even more excited for our wedding just through looking at our engagement photos and the photos she shares on her blog/website/Instagram. Long story short: book her. She’s your girl for all things wedding ❤️❤️

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!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
John was an amazing photographer! He was always communicating with us before and during the wedding. He was always available to talk which for a nervous bride helped a lot. During the wedding, he was very professional. He made sure we got the shots we wanted but respected our parents when they asked for extra shots. He came up with shots we never thought of that turned out to be our favorites! Hire John for all your special functions! I know we will be reaching out again to him.

Daniela Cardili tells the story of your wedding day with heartfelt images that artfully portray this very personal event. She combines her unique sense of style and her passion for photography to create a photographic document that captures special moments, relationships, and love. Her style reflects a mix of a photojournalist’s reflexes, a portraitist’s eye, and the strong influence of the worlds of beauty and fashion. She continues to build on her abundant natural talent by attending workshops and seminars to keep up with the latest trends in wedding photography.

We live in New York but are planning our Chicago wedding which makes vendor selection tied to phone calls and e-mails. In a process that can feel so impersonal, Daniela made it immediately feel like she had known us forever! During our first call, she was down right excited about our wedding which made me even more excited! Since we were in New York, we originally decided to hire Daniela for our wedding and do engagement photos local to NY. Once the pandemic hit and we had to move our wedding, my fiance and I wanted to do something romantic together. We called Daniela and asked if she would do an engagement shoot for us in Chicago. I cannot tell you how happy I am that we decided to do that. It was the BEST day. We got to spend the evening laughing together, exploring our hometown, and enjoying each moment - that is exactly what Daniela captured. Scrolling through the photographs, I didn't know someone could capture love like that. I am so grateful to have these pictures forever and ever. If I could describe her final product it would be the perfect balance of high end, romantic, chic, natural. It is instantly clear looking at her photographs that she is an incredible professional who takes her craft very seriously all with a big smile and heart to make you comfortable to look and feel your best. We booked a vendor and ended up with a friend for life! Can't wait for the wedding!

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 don’t know where to even begin to tell everyone how much I love Jayde! We had both our engagement and wedding photos done by Jayde. From the first moment my husband and I talked to her on the phone, we both knew she was the right fit for us. Jayde is warm, kind, fun, funny, and so good at her job. You can tell how passionate she is about her work, and she is someone who will take your special day as seriously as you do! As one of her couples I have always felt cared for and listened to, and I truly feel that she supports us and our marriage. At both the engagement session and on our wedding day, Jayde made us feel so comfortable. Her prompts lead to natural and in the moment photos that you will treasure forever. I can't tell you the number of people that have not only commented on how much they loved our photos, but also how much they loved meeting and talking to Jayde. Jayde helped built us a custom wedding photo timeline, provided outfit guidance for our engagement sesh, scouted out picture locations for both the engagement session and wedding, and was there for us every step of the way. We received so many photos from both our wedding and engagement session that even 6 months past our wedding I am still finding new photos I love. From the photos you can tell how talented Jayde is, but I'm here to tell you the Jayde is the real deal beyond the photos as well. Hiring Jayde as our photographer was the easiest wedding decision we made, and we feel lucky to call our friend and favorite photographer!

We can’t rave enough about working with Ed & Aileen for our wedding photos! When we were hiring photographers, we wanted someone who could capture our day in a way that felt authentic. What was astounding (and frankly magical) about Ed and Aileen’s work is that their photos captured the events of the day AND the emotions of the day all in one. Ed and the team have a spidey sense for when something is organically working, and they find a way to prompt that further and capture it at just the right moment. The result is jaw-dropping photos that gave us the opportunity to relive all the best moments of our wedding. Ed and the team made the whole process—from planning to engagement shoot to the big day to edits afterwards—feel the perfect balance of organized, fun, and supported. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough!

We knew that they would be the perfect fit. Our engagement photos were so fun with them and they turned out incredible.

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!

My passion for photography begin way back in high school and my life has been built around my passions.

It hasn't steered me wrong yet, infact it has brought me here. To you.

I am a wedding planner with Storybook Weddings and Events, and I am a huge fan of Jennifer not just as a photographer but as someone I love to work with and refer to my couples. She is professional and easy to work with when planning a wedding day, and her pictures are STUNNING! She makes my brides feel comfortable and confident in themselves on wedding day and spends time to get to know their personalities to make sure the day is stress free. One of the things I always tell couples when looking at a photographer is that they should request to look at full galleries vs just looking at website photos or instagram. It is important to see consistency in a whole gallery that retells your wedding day and not just have a couple pictures that are great. I cannot recommend Jennifer enough, and I am looking forward to working with her again during wedding season this year :)

Cristina is too wonderful for words! She is an absolute joy to work with and her photos are beyond stunning. Neither my husband nor I have any idea what we’re doing in front of a camera, and Cristina could not have been kinder or more patient with us during both our engagement photos and wedding day. We brought along our dog for our engagement photos, and Cristina never batted an eye during his less-than-cooperative moments. She made the engagement photo session a complete breeze and so much fun from start to finish. Her partner, Constantin, joined for the wedding day, and they made the most incredible photography duo. They captured all the important moments and ensured that we got every last photo we wanted. They also handled corralling everyone for large family photos in an extremely timely and orderly fashion. They’re both so lovely, fun to work with, and take the most incredibly beautiful photos! I could not recommend Cristina (and Constantin!) more highly.

Being a Photographer myself, "who is your wedding photographer?" was the biggest question of my wedding planning. Covid-19 had rerouted our wedding, so we ended up doing a small wedding in Elmhurst, IL. She was so professional, sent out a questionnaire prior to make sure she got all the shots we wanted, and did a video consultation to make sure she had all the details. She arrived early to get her bearings and I made a detail box all together to help her with everything to start while I got ready. She got the details perfectly, captured all the perfect moments, and dealt with our craziness of family photos. I trusted her fully and she did amazing. She had preview photos up within the next day, and the blog up by the Monday following the wedding. She was super flexible and amazing to work with! Thanks Winterlyn! Monica & Drew

Allie is absolutely amazing. From our very first zoom call, we knew we had to book Allie. Allie was extremely helpful the whole time. She was our very first vendor to book. We booked our wedding day, ensuring she was available because we didn’t want another photographer. During the planning process she made sure my vision was accomplished from location to specific pictures. She made sure we were capturing what my husband and I had envisioned and not just what was convenient to a wedding day timeline. Allie’s photography is all about joy and peace. 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.

From day one, Peter made us feel relaxed and it was so easy working with him. The engagement photos session was so much fun, he had great ideas for photos, and we laughed a lot. Besides getting great photos from this session, it allowed us to get to know Peter more (and vice versa) and feel more comfortable together before the wedding. We couldn't wait for the wedding day to hang out more! Peter and his team took amazing photos on our wedding day and are a joy to be around. They truly added so much to our entire wedding day team. We miss working with Peter on a daily basis - it was such a pleasure! I highly recommend Peter for your wedding!

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.

Without a doubt, Christine was our very favorite vendor to work with for our wedding day! We are so happy to have had her as our wedding photographer, and will absolutely be recommending her to all of our newly engaged friends and family members! From the very beginning of our wedding planning process, Christine was SO kind, responsive, flexible, and patient. She spent time getting to know us as a couple, the vision for our wedding day, and what our schedule for the day would look like. She played a huge role in making sure the day ran smoothly and that we had time for all of the photos we wanted. I'm confident in saying that we (myself, my husband, our families, and wedding party) felt calm and comfortable all day because of Christine! Her experience in this industry truly speaks for itself. Most importantly, Christine effortlessly and perfectly captured so many special moments throughout our day - we could not be more grateful! She is an incredibly talented photographer and so much fun to work with. We are completely blown away by the photos that we've received - we cannot stop looking through them, and so many people have been wanting to know who our photographer was. Obviously, we are recommending her to everyone without hesitation. Thank you, Christine, for providing us with the most beautiful wedding photos that we will always cherish!

Our engagement shoot was so fun - even my now husband enjoyed it! And now, all our friends and family and my new husband keep raving about how amazing Lauryn is!! She knows what she's doing from beginning to end and ensured everyone on wedding day was comfortable and having fun!! No one felt overwhelmed with "posing" or photos, because it doesn't feel like you're just standing there taking a bunch. Her delivery of our photos was also the fastest in the biz that I have seen and we are OBSESSED with our wedding and engagement photos! I couldn't trust anyone else but her for this huge, special moment in our life. BOOK HER NOW!!

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!

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.

Abel did our wedding last year (3 weeks before the pandemic hit) and the whole process could not have been more professional, easy, or smooth. He walked us through his processes each step of the way, he was flexible with any hiccups along the way (we accidentally tried to set up engagement photos in the middle of the Chicago marathon route and had to find a new venue on the fly). We had phone call meetings to make sure every step was covered. On the day of our wedding he was attentive, professional, and was able to motivate everyone while photographing. During dinner, everyone knows that taking pictures at all of the tables can take forever. Able was able to keep things moving while also keeping all of the guests happy at the same time. He also has a great eye for shot set up and is quick to find the perfect shots. We had photoshoots by a train station when we were lucky enough to have a train arrive. He was able to get us in a great spot and get the photo op in an instant. Afterwards, he kept us informed on where he was in the process on getting everything processed and even during the pandemic lockdowns and he made sure to find a way to keep us in the loop and get our pictures to us in a timely manner. Again, we can not recommend Tequila Weddings or Abel any higher!!!

He effortlessly blended into the background, allowing us to be ourselves while he worked his magic behind the lens. I cannot recommend Rahul Rana Photography highly enough. If you're looking for a photographer who not only captures moments but also creates lasting memories, look no further. Thank you, Rahul, for preserving the most precious moments of our special day in such a beautiful and heartfelt way.

Hello, I’m Melissa! I’m a wedding & lifestyle photographer with a heart and eye for the genuine, real, and joyful moments! Based in Chicago but let’s be real, I love to travel - so take me with you! :) My heart as a photographer is to document your moments genuinely & always true to color. So that one day you will look back & remember not just what it looked like - but what it FELT like!

Hire Melissa for all of your photography needs, especially if you are particularly camera shy or think you feel awkward in front of the camera. She is simply the BEST and makes you feel super comfortable, makes you laugh, and most importantly, captures the perfect moments. We hired her for our fall engagement session and our winter wedding in January and are in LOVE with every single photo. I find every excuse to post the photos she took. In fact, my entire family loved her so much that my little sister is using her for her wedding in June 2024. Thank you so much for everything, Melissa!

If sarcasm and gifs are your languages of choice you know where to find me. I believe the less we take ourselves too seriously the more bearable life will be. I'm always down for anything in the dessert category and if you ever need a challenger in board games or someone to talk about tv or movies, say no more. It's this light-heartedness that I try to bring into each session with our couples. My promise as a photographer is to capture every couple with intention and care.

Peacemade shot our engagement shoot and our wedding in 2023. We could not have had a better experience with Gail and her team! Looking at their work piqued our interest and our first meeting with Gail locked in our decision. She answered all of our questions, was super responsive with our emails, and made sure we were all on the same page for the actual day of. Her and her team made taking photos and video feel organic and not staged. They were a blast to work with and we’ve recommended them to all of our friends and family. Would definitely book them again for any future shoots or events!

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.

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!!!!!

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.

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

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.
