From the moment we first contacted Forest City Photographs, we were impressed by their attentive, warm, and professional communication. Joel and his team have an incredible eye for capturing precious, genuine, and timeless moments. On our wedding day, Joel (and Tyler!) managed to beautifully document the most vulnerable and special moments, transporting us back to the best day of our lives every time we look at the photos. The value they provided is truly priceless, and we couldn't be happier with the incredible work they delivered. We are absolutely blown away. You can clearly tell from their work as well as a single conversation with them, that they LOVE what they do and they pour their passion into these photographs. The amount of gratitude we have for Forest City Photographs is immeasurable!! ️ We would choose them a million times over and over again!

As a small boy, I would sit for hours watching my mother hand-color portraits for a local photographer, during the cold winter months, by a fire in our family room. From there I began taking my own pictures with my first box camera. Fast forward to a restless twenty-something working as a microbiologist, taking weddings and portraits on weekends. Eventually I graduated college with an M.A. in Photography and started out in Chicago, assisting numerous photographers, shooting everything from oranges to weddings. I have been fortunate to have worked all over the world. Photography is more than a job, it’s an avocation, a passion, it's what I do.

From the first time we met Thom, we knew he was the right fit for us and our wedding. He made planning for our wedding in the middle of a pandemic stress FREE! Thom is organized, creative, and makes photography fun. His experience in the industry is evident through not only his work, but the way he is able to command a room. Thom had one of his assistants live stream our wedding for our guests that could not travel during the pandemic, which I am so grateful for. Now we will be able to watch our wedding mass for years to come. Thom also captured many couples, family, and friends photos throughout the day. Our family and friends continue to rave about Thom's work and his wonderful personality. We cannot thank Thom enough for capturing memories that will last us a lifetime! Look no further Thom is your guy to make your wedding photography dreams come true!!

Ivan was always available to me with fast response time. I'm a very big planner so I plan things ahead of time and he never seem to get annoyed with me when asking 1 million questions. The day of my wedding, Egidijus, Irad and Jem, we're my photographers/videographer the professionalism was so comforting they knew exactly what they were doing and how to queue everyone. everything went so smoothly and right on schedule. My photos and videos were delivered to me right on the four week mark faster than promised and oh my God are they incredible!! my highlight and teaser video is seriously so magical that I can't stop watching it. it's like a fairy tale movie. what a fabulous job. I highly recommend them. You won't be disappointed. Thank you so much Ivan and your team!! You guys killed it!

I'm a 34-year-old husband to Samantha, our son Silas, our soon-to-be daughter Fiona, and our wiggler companion Moxie. I've been a wedding photographer for 11 years, having photographed over 300 weddings and countless other sessions! My hobby is also my job, and you bet my wife loves that, haha. I am also a stay-at-home dad, a philatelist, a Lego freak, and a craft beer nerd, and we have an orange fridge, haha.

Awarded Best of Zola
The quality of Erik's work as a photographer is unparalleled. He truly captured the "light, bright, airy" aesthetic that I loved when I first started researching different styles. He is highly detailed oriented which is a must for somebody like me who really notices all the little details. He went above and beyond by traveling to our engagement shooting location all the way in Madison, WI! When it came to shooting the big day, Erik orchestrated everything perfectly including calming me down during a stressful moment, making us all laugh, and capturing all the "good angles". From the first few photos I received, his work made me feel absolutely beautiful. When I shared with others, the first thing they commented was: "Wow, Your photographer KILLED it with the wedding photos!" Extremely high quality editing....Erik is worth every penny and I would highly recommend him to anyone!

This is the second time we booked Erin Henze Media to take family photos. Impressed that I received a pre-shoot survey so I could share the specific type and style of photos we were looking for.

  • Serves Dixon, IL

Timeless | Romantic | Classic Wedding photographer - I believe in the idea that "great photos are created from personal connection." I put my heart and soul into making sure the couples I work with have the best possible experience and end up with images that we can both be proud of. My favorite part of taking photos is being able to find the special moments within your big milestones. It's those candid times, along with the significance of the occasion, that come together to create your favorite memories and it's my job to capture those through my visual storytelling.

From start to finish, Meg exceeded every expectation. The weather took an unexpected turn during our engagement shoot as it does in Chicago in March- Meg didn’t bat an eye she stayed positive, improvised effortlessly, and made the day stress free. Despite the winds and cold the photos were stunning I actually couldn’t believe it she is truly so talented. The turnaround for photos is quick and she communicates every step of the way. We already got our full gallery of wedding photos and I am just blown away by the moments she was able to capture, I’ve looked at them so many times and I feel like I’m still seeing them for the first time. Her editing style is stunning, it’s clear that she puts so much intention into every photo. I cannot recommend Meg enough!

Greetings! I’m Phil, a passionate and creative photographer based in the vibrant city of Chicago. With a lens as my canvas, I specialize in capturing the essence of moments that tell unique stories. From the picturesque lakeside to the heart of the city, I specialize in crafting timeless engagement and wedding photos that reflect the love and joy of couples saying, "will you marry me?" and "I do" in Chicago. Chicago’s skyline is a masterpiece, and I take pride in capturing its grandeur. My architectural photography brings out the unique character of each building, from historic landmarks to modern skyscrapers.

Phil did an AMAZING job photographing our wedding. He strategized with us in the weeks before to plan which shots would be the most meaningful. And the day of the wedding he was the most patient accommodating and kindhearted photographer you could wish for. We are SO happy with how the photos turned out and would hire him again in a heartbeat. Thank you Phil!

My love for photography began in Rockford, IL, where I discovered storytelling through a lens. Over the years, I’ve captured Midwest landscapes, national parks, and life’s meaningful moments. What started with local events and concerts grew into a passion for weddings and portraiture. I believe the best photos come from genuine connections, so I prioritize building relationships to understand your story and vision. Whether celebrating love, connection, or a fleeting moment, I’m here to calm nerves, share laughter, and capture memories you’ll cherish forever. Let’s create something timeless and yours.

Working with Tyler Yomantas Photography was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. His communication style was easy, efficient, and comfortable, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of his work was truly exceptional - creative, informed, and worth every penny. Tyler is our go-to for everything photography related, as his portfolio speaks for itself. He has an eye for the smallest detail and made every step of the way a comfortable one. With his extensive background and experience, Tyler truly captured all the special moments of our wedding day with care and expertise.

I'm Courtney! I care not only about providing you with sharp, authentic and colorful images on your wedding day, but helping you to be fully present on your wedding day so you remember all the big and little moments.

Courtney is everything you could want in a photographer. Photography was a top priority for my wedding and I'm so thankful I went with Expedition Joy. My photos are the exact "timeless, bright and airy (without being washed out)" that I dreamed of. She made us feel super comfortable, took feedback and let us request shots, quickly turned around our engagement session & wedding sneak peaks, and even let us sneak a shot back within 24 hours (insane!!!!). Photos are so important and you should book someone you can trust to give you the gift of those memories in the way you you want and envision them. Courtney did just that for us!! 10/10.

I'm Chrissy and I'm a documentary wedding photographer with 10+ years of experience who fully believes that your life deserves to be documented truthfully. My focus at your wedding isn't to steal you away from your family and friends for hours to make "art," but to empathically capture the moments and relationships present at your wedding. Your wedding photos are the single most important wedding investment you'll make. After the day is done and over, they will be what tethers you to your memories of your day. They will be the heirlooms you'll pass down to your grandchildren to hang on walls and sit on bedsides for generations to come.

We loved Chrissy! She was fun and easy to work with, and I loved that she provided color and black/white photos. She did everything on our list, and listened to our ideas as well. Nothing felt forced or over-posed, but she was great at guiding next moves when needed. Will definitely use again for future photos.

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.

OLAS were the easiest vendor I worked with throughout the wedding process. Their quick and efficient communication gave me the peace of mind I needed when it came to wedding photos. I had a very specific vision for our imagery, and OLAS and our photographer were more than accommodating as I neurotically guided some photos. Our photographer came equipped with a great attitude and even better skills in capturing our day, and I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photography experience.

Pedro was awesome! We were looking for a local (in Chicago) photographer, and found the perfect one. He was super easy to work with, and took amazing pictures. Our initial meeting was via Zoom, which made working it around our schedule super easy. He was extremely responsive to all of my emails, and even was workable with our budget and what we wanted to accomplish with photography. I love his ability to take un-staged, in the moment photos as well as great family photos. He went above and beyond for us, and we are grateful for so many amazing photos to choose from. I would definitely hire him again in a heartbeat.

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!

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 started my journey into professional photography officially in the summer of 2019 and received my Bachelors of Fine Arts degree with honors in Digital Photography in the spring of 2022. I absolutely love what I do and look forward to every new experience and opportunity this journey takes me on!

Awarded Best of Zola
Absolutely incredible. He scouted out our shoot spot after a storm hit, incredible response time and turn around time but above all, just absolutely kind and you really felt like you got to know him in the time span of taking your photos. As people who have never had professional photos done and don’t like getting our photos taken at all, it was an incredible choice and we are SO glad we went with Developing Diamonds. Our family and friends loved them and couldn’t believe how well he was able to capture the moments where we were posed but it didn’t look like it. We recommend to everyone.
