Shannon's communication throughout the planning process was amazing - she was very responsive over email and phone, and took the time to understand exactly what we envisioned for our big day.

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.

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!

ā€œAngelina 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 didnā€™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!ā€

ā€œI highly recommend this company to take photos at your wedding! We loved our photographer Percy. He was incredible, and so helpful. He came with several cameras and valued all of our ideas, and when we became stumped he offered ideas for us to try as well. He was very professional, kind, caring, and always on top of the game taking photos. Towards the end of our night he started to put the camera away and brought it back out to catch a few final moments. He was on top of responding to all questions before, during, and after. He took photos of me and my husband before the ceremony and got some wonderful shots (it was a 95 outside wedding so this was much appreciated because we all had some sweat on our faces). But before we got Percy and our booking process with eivans it was super simple, and just an overall great experience.ā€

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

ā€œAfter being given a long list of wedding photographer vendors from our venue, Once Like A Spark really stood out to us not only because of their name but also because their portfolio of pictures was exactly the vibe we were looking for in our wedding photos. This company was extremely easy to work with and their communication was awesome! They have different team members designated for each stage of planning so you know youā€™re getting the attention you need during a stressful time. We used OLAS for our September 2023 wedding. We opted for a second photographer after originally booking only one and they made the addition seamless to our contract! You are able to choose your primary photographer and we chose Matt (a former Bruins photographer, which my husband loved :)) and he could not have been more professional and focused the day of the wedding! Our second photographer was wonderful too! Both were detail oriented and made us so excited to see the shots they got! We received our gallery 5 weeks after the wedding, which was earlier than we expected, and were totally blown away! Our photographers nailed it! We cannot recommend OLAS enough! 10 out of 10 experience!ā€

Hej, Iā€™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.

ā€œAnders went above and beyond, every step of the way. We first got to see him in action with our engagement photo shoot - He has an eye for capturing vibrant moments/expressions. His passion for photography was on full display, reframing shots until he found an interesting angle or artistic background. And the wedding day itself could not have been more smooth. He was highly present throughout the day but never intrusive. We have watched the video he compiled dozens of times. After the agreed upon ending time had passed and he was on his way out, he saw us doing karaoke, stopped and unpacked some equipment to capture a few more moments. You will not regret having him part of your wedding, or any other event you want to capture in a meaningful way.ā€

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, Iā€™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.

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 :)

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 Iā€™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
ā€œZach was absolutely amazing to work with! We were quick to book with him after clicking so well at our first meeting. We booked an engagement session separate from the wedding booking and were so glad we did! He provided great direction and conversation, helping two socially awkward folks feel comfortable and look like superstars. He was on time and professional for our wedding day, taking care to make sure we covered our photo list and suggesting a few shots that wound up as some of our favorites. He returned our images exactly on schedule and WOW! We were blown away! The photos exactly capture my memory of the wedding day. We would hire Zach again in a heartbeat!ā€

I've always been a creative at heart, my own mother is an artist so maybe it's genetic? However, photography was never on my radar. One fateful day, a friend reached out to me requesting engagement photos for her and her love. My iPhone and I were absolutely honored at the opportunity! After the debut of those beautiful, phone quality captures, the inquiries came rolling in! I was pleasantly surprised and within months decided it was only right to invest in proper gear. Officially established in 2021, I've been beyond blessed with the chance to meet so many wonderful people and capture their once in a lifetime moments! Anya Grace šŸ–¤

ā€œAnya is a highly talented photographer. I struggle with following simple directions, which may be due to the language barrier as English is not my native language.

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.

ā€œThere is nothing more anxiety-producing than choosing which photographer to document your event and my partner and I couldn't be happier with Megan. She has a great eye for detail and composition resulting in beautiful, professional, flattering(!), and intimate photos. She's highly conscious that she is creating memories and her photographs reflect her thoughtfulness. She captures the smallest details and interactions while still managing to get the "big picture" too. Megan listens to all concerns -however big or small- while making the process smooth, fun, and as low-stress as possible. She is extremely fair when it comes to price and you receive far more than you are paying for! I highly recommend her services. Photographers are like physicians, they need to be able to put you at ease while being both personable and professional and Megan Saul fits the bill. Our happy event was in early January of 2020.

I developed a deep passion for photography when I was just 12 years old. Back then, capturing moments with my friends and family meant using Kodak Film, which was not as effortless as it is today. Since then, photography has remained my true calling. In 2002, I pursued my love for journalism and photography by studying at the reputable Institute of LAINSPROCOM. From 2006 onwards, I have been professionally capturing the beauty of weddings and portraits. My photography style can best be described as honest, sincere, and intimate. I strive to capture the raw emotions and captivating moments that make each occasion unique.

ā€œOur 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.ā€

I've been shooting unique, non-traditional, very-traditional, queer, straight, weird, normal, sexy, just-plain-fun weddings for over a decade now. Don't think your wedding falls into that category? Don't be so sure. Your unique love deserves to be documented whoever that may look. If you want bad-ass photography that stands out, all while having fun doing it, we're what you've been looking for. Let's connect. We'd love to hear your love story.

ā€œI haaaate having my photo taken. I was super anxious about the whole process going into it. It takes a certain amount of trust to let someone photograph you... Jay and his Bellocq team were A from start to finish. We were blown away by A) the sheer amount of photos given back (they don't cap their packages at certain photo counts) and B) how seamlessly the entire collection flowed together from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for more. We will definitely be re-booking them for our family photos (first baby on the way!!!) in the future. Jay is incredibly kind and fun to be around, and just puts you at ease. That is the first thing you'll notice when you meet. Can't recommend Bellocq enough!!!ā€

AwestrucKen Photography focuses on ensuring great moments in time are caught. As much as we are tech/gear heads with regards to equipment, we also know that the greatest piece of equipment any photographer can have is his/her brain. We pride ourselves on using our brains and our gear to not just take pictures, but to tell stories. While pictures, as Dorothea Lange says, ā€œtake an instant out of time; altering life by holding it stillā€, itā€™s also important that each instant of time is part of a person or eventā€™s story.

ā€œKen was great from start to finish and was extremely receptive to what we were looking for in terms of a vendor we can jam with and will also be able to work well with our other vendors - it was very important ALL our vendors were people we could consider people we'd call our friends and Ken is just that!

If that sounds like you, we're already friends. I'm here to tell your love story.

ā€œOur biggest priority for our wedding was keeping it intimate and meaningful. We only had 10 guests, and each person meant a lot to us to be there on the big day. Kelsey was no exception. We both are very camera shy people, and the idea of having photos taken of us had made me nervous for so long. Kelsey made it so effortless and fun. She captured moments rather than staging them. I felt like she was perfectly there and also in the background when so much was going on. She helped me with planning timelines and I had so much that I didnā€™t think about and Kelsey didnā€™t stumble a bit. I totally forgot about bringing stuff for detail shots and those ended up being my favorites! All come up with on the spot while I was getting ready.

I didnā€™t get into the wedding industry because I was the little girl dreaming of my wedding day. I love story-telling, I love love, and I love people who want to laugh and have a great time because they realize that life is short and beautiful. Wedding photography is all of those things at once; every time I go to work itā€™s the best day of someoneā€™s life. How cool is that?

ā€œI stumbled across AJ on TikTok after another creator I followed tagged her in something, and let me tell you, that was the best click Iā€™ve ever made. AJ talks often about her ā€œdaisy chainsā€ (people who book and rebook for progressive life events) and itā€™s so clear why her clients are so loyal. We had her take our engagement pictures and also document our welcome party and wedding. She has such a great eye for the perfect, unique shot, but even the expected photos came out incredible. She was at a little higher price point than some of the photographers I looked at, less expensive than others, but I will tell you she was worth every single penny I paid her. She also is just a wonderful person to work with ā€“ she did a great job putting us at ease in every interaction, facilitating our personalities really coming out in the photos, and was just funny, and personable, and kind. My guests repeatedly (and well after the wedding was over) made a point to tell me how much they liked her and how comfortable she made them. I will also tell you that I am not terribly comfortable with myself and particularly being photographed and she not only made me calm the heck down but she helped me to be comfortable enough that she got absolutely stunning photos. 10/10, definitely hire her, and let this be a lesson in trusting your gut when TikTok leads you down a rabbit hole to the perfect person for the job.ā€
