Zach Caddy Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Dolton, IL

A cinematic eye. --- A bleeding heart. --- An inclusive spirit. --- 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 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. 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!

Zach 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!

I 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.

We first booked Clayton for our engagement photos in January 2022. It was cold but Clayton kept the mood light and fun, giving us prompts and conversation starters that really helped put us at ease in front of the camera. It was such a fun day and after seeing the photos, we knew we needed him for our wedding as well! Clayton and his husband were absolutely amazing on the wedding day, our bridal party had such a great time laughing and joking with them during our getting ready and first look pics! We even had guests coming up and telling us how much fun the photographers were! And the reception shots...I will never be able to narrow them down, they managed to capture just about every guest showing off their best dance floor moves! Truly so grateful for the amazing work, our photos are absolutely stunning. We definitely hope to use Lux Everlasting for all of our future portrait needs :)

Hello, my name is Nikki, and I am a wedding and family photographer for the sentimental and nostalgic. I have been lucky enough to call this my career for over 12 years. I am driven by a passion for storytelling and documenting your life for you to keep forever. Rooted in the heart of Chicago, IL, I am always ready to pack my bags and travel wherever your story unfolds (frequently travel to CO and WI). Whether it's the heartfelt promises exchanged on your wedding day or the joyful pitter-patter of little feet during an intimate family session at home, I treasure the opportunity to document every chapter of your life.

Awarded Best of Zola
Nikki was the best decision we ever could have made while wedding planning. She was enthusiastic, passionate, kind, genuine, and warm from the second we hopped on our first phone call to the very end of our wedding reception as she hugged us goodbye. She made not only us as a couple feel comfortable (which we expressed to her was one of our fears of just feeling awkward on camera) but our families and friends too, as she documented our church ceremony and our downtown-Chicago wedding reception. By the end of our time together, she felt like a friend we had known for years instead of a photographer that we found. She is so insanely talented - each time we got a sneak peek of the photos from our engagement shoot and wedding day, I was moved to tears. Nikki captured our wedding perfectly and we will continue to have her be a part of all of our life moments. WE LOVE YOU NIKKI!!!

*****The best way to reach me is to fill out the inquiry form on my website!***** As a documentary-style photographer, I love to emphasize connection, texture, and authentic emotion. Being a former actor who found a deep love and passion for wedding photography, I'm most drawn to the art of storytelling while creating honest and original work. I strive to make my images fully represent my couples in every way possible. I'm goofy, fun, and always create a deep connection with my couples to ensure their big day is captured with passion + care.

We are so happy we chose to work with Madi for our wedding photos and was one of best decisions we made. We immediately liked her on the first call as she was just easy to talk to and really took an interest in learning about our story. We could tell she had amazing organization skills, and her photography was exactly what we were looking for when it came to our wedding. She was friendly and personable and provided easy communication. She was very flexible, tolerated our need to bring our dogs into both the wedding and the engagement photos, and made us comfortable during the photography process. At our wedding, she was on time, and SO on top of things that I really didn't need to worry about anything getting done. She was on it and coordinated everything so seamlessly. She not only is excellent in her photography skills, but helped so much in establishing our timeline and sorting out what was actually feasible for the day. We really appreciated her expertise. I fully trusted her in the process and knowing that definitely took stress off of us. The best part, is she is just an awesome human!! I highly recommend Madi for your wedding!!

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.

Megan is amazing. She is a true artist. I have worked with her in various spaces, one in particular that a lot of photographers struggle with because of the lighting, and Megan came back with some of the best, most beautiful, moodiest (chef's kiss) photos I have seen.

It was really important to us as a queer couple to have a photographer who understood this and could make everyone feel comfortable. Kate went above and beyond to ensure she could best support us. From the very first phone call I was excited to work with Kate and didn't even talk to any other photographers! I loved Kate's work online and knew she would be great to work with!

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do I begin?... Ed & Aileen are freaking INCREDIBLE! To start, they are both amazing humans -- so sweet, fun and easy to work with. My husband and I never had a professional shoot taken before, so we were a little nervous before taking our engagement photos. Aileen made it so fun, by the end we forgot there were tons of people staring at us! My favorite thing about Ed & Aileen Photography is their knack for candid shots. They are all about the fun and just being yourself. This is what sold us on them, the second we saw their photos we knew we HAD to work with them. Planning anything with them was super simple and easy. No waiting around for days or weeks at a time to get a response. They were by far our favorite vendors. So much so that 2 of my friends are using them for their weddings next year! USE ED & AILEEN PHOTOGRAPHY, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! They are modern day photography super heroes! We love you guys!! Thank you so much for capturing our big day. We are so incredibly grateful to have these amazing photos and videos to look back on for the rest of our lives <3

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ashley is so perceptive and talented! I told her a little bit about us and our style and she created the right balance between moodiness and fun that we wanted. She always got back to us just under 24 hours and answered every question that we had. She is dedicated to her clients and their needs. I enjoyed being in her company because she made us feel comfortable. She understood our needs and never pressured us to do anything out of our comfort zone. We are a more laid back, care-free couple, so we gave Ashley lots of space to experiment and it definitely paid off. If nothing else has convinced you, we have already booked our 1 year anniversary photos with her and I will continue to go back to her for any event that should be photographed.

Melissa was such a joy to work with. She made what can be a stressful time completely stress free. Choosing a photographer for our wedding was top of our list and we are so glad to have had the chance to work with her. She’s so easy to trust and quick to respond to any question or comment. She listened to everything we asked for and wanted and as a result our wedding photos turned out amazing - they are something that we’ll cherish forever.

Widlet Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $895
  • Serves Dolton, IL

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.

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.

City Savvy Imaging

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Dolton, IL

I am Renae, the creator and photographer of City Savvy Imaging. Based in Chicago, I started Weddings in 2009. I have an undergraduate degree in photography and fine art from Illinois State University. I also have a Masters in Elementary Education. Photography has always been my passion. I took my first photography class in high school when dark rooms were still utilized. I continued my education in photography through college where I began photographing in digital as well as film. Fine art was a large part of my studies which plays a major roll in my photography as it enhances my use of color, light, composition and space.

Renae is a true pro!! We’d worked together in Chicago on a few things and then she travelled to our New Orleans wedding this year!! We will treasure these photos forever and can’t thank City Savvy Imaging enough for the best photos and easy process!

Peter Wynn Thompson Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves Dolton, IL

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!

We could not have been happier with the services and product we received! We picked Nora as our photographer as it seemed like she was great at using natural lighting and did a good job with capturing photos that weren’t posed. We were not disappointed! Nora made the process as easy as humanly possible and very comfortable. She was able to read us easily and could tell when the group was getting restless and even could tell if I wanted certain photos without me saying. Nora was the only photographer but managed to capture all the photos we could have hoped for. The ceremony photos were beautiful but the reception photos perfectly captured the night. The quality of the photos when we got them was spectacular. Additionally, the entirety of the photos were sent to us within just over 4 weeks despite the fact that they had 8 weeks. Lastly, we booked the DJ through essence as well (spinning’ discs) and Nora and the dj worked together great which made it that much easier. If you’re considering essence, do it - you will not regret!

Bob & Dawn Davis Photography & Design

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Dolton, IL

We are blessed to photography many weddings & events around the world. We've had the honor to photograph many celebs as well. All our clients are a blessing & we know it’s an honor to be chosen to photograph their memorable event. We are grateful to all who has given us the privilege to work with them. We strive to tell our couple’s story & reflect their energy in each photograph. Like Elton John & Bernie Taupin, we work in two rooms: Bob is the principal photographer & handles all the logistics of our shoots. Dawn completes our vision by editing photos & making each image sing, then designs a fine art book to encapsulate the each story.

Bob & Dawn were nothing short of amazing to work with. My husband and I changed our wedding plans quite a bit, but decided to move forward with a small and intimate wedding on our original date. Bob & Dawn were so accommodating and easy to work with, they took a ton of stress off my plate. Every single picture from our day is perfect. Bob captured every moment that I was hoping for....AND MORE. I feel as if I have an intimate relationship with the two of them now, they were involved in some pretty important and special moments of my life, and I am so grateful to have met them and gotten to work with them during a stressful time. Although I had a COVID wedding, you would truly never tell from our photos and everything I was hoping for was delivered by this dynamic duo. I know I will stay in touch with them over the years, and am grateful to have worked with them when I did!

The easiest and most special part of my wedding!! I got married last August 2022 and planned it all by myself while being a medical student. Gubert Photos made the photography aspect of our wedding so easy and incredible - not to mention the actual photos, which were everything we wanted and more! Having this day captured was one of my biggest priorities and Gubert Photos did not fail me once. I was able to fill a whole scrapbook with all of our favorite moments from our wedding and thanks to the quality of the photos, we look at it all the time. I would recommend this company to anyone looking to capture any special party or event and I anticipate working with them again in the future!! Thanks again for being great!!

I love this job of mine. When you book me, you can be assured that I will operate before, during & after the wedding with your best interests at heart. My #1 goal is always to create a space that allows you (and your loved ones) to be your best, most comfortable selves & to depict your wedding day through your final photo gallery in the most authentic way as you remember it unfolding. My motto is "the friend who takes photos." You deserve a photographer who shows up for you on your wedding day who is not only a professional, but also feels like a trusted friend to support, celebrate and create a safe (& fun) space for you on your wedding day.

We are so lucky to have had Gretchen as our wedding photographer!! She is so so talented and beyond a joy to work with. I cannot recommend Gretchen enough. She is incredibly organized and captured our day so beautifully. Her warmth and creativity are unparalleled. My husband and I had our engagement and wedding photos done by Gretchen and we adore them. Her style and energy is so fun. She was thoughtful in our ceremony and reception moments, bridal party and family shots, and captured so many intimate moments we will cherish forever. There are so many "in-the-moment"/documentary style photos Gretchen took that we adore. Not only did my husband and I love Gretchen, but our family and friends were blown away by her talent and attention to detail. She made our loved ones feel like VIPs and captured their love and energy so perfectly. She gave us such peace through the wedding journey with her confidence and vision. She helped map out our general timeline of the day, shots, etc. Gretchen did an amazing job capturing all of our guests. I cannot wait to work with Gretchen again in the future for more life event fun!!!
