I would recommend JZ Studio Photography to anyone getting married!

I am an Intimate Chicago & Milwaukee based Wedding photographer, I’m here to help you feel comfortable & confident to be your truest self in front of the camera while encouraging body positivity. I encourage couples to do what makes them happiest rather than following trends or expectations. I’m here to document your story and show you how beautiful you truly are! Your job is to enjoy the day while I capture the moments!

From the moment we booked Nina Marqui Photography for our engagement, their communication was prompt, quick, and great. The quality of their work was absolutely beautiful, amazing, and perfect. Nina was so unobtrusive during the moment - she said she was going to hide and I didn't even see her when she started taking pictures! We were thrilled to receive sneak peeks just days after the engagement, and the final photos captured every special moment exactly as we had hoped. Nina Marqui Photography went above and beyond to make our engagement day perfect.

Megan Saul Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Harvard, IL

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.

There 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. Check her out!

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!

  • Serves Harvard, 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Deb and her team did an absolutely amazing job with our wedding pictures in April 2021. The pictures are so beautiful and did a great job of capturing our day. She got the pictures back to us so quick too! Our friends and family have not stopped texting us raving about how nice the pictures came out! Would recommend Parker Photography to anyone.

Warm, and emotive portraits showcasing authenticity is my first priority. I'm here not only to capture your precious moments but to be right by your side through such large life events. I'm based in Lake County, Illinois, and yes I love to travel! If you want me to photograph your story, it will require a travel fee, depending on where it takes place. But no worries, I always try to find the cheapest way to come.

Kailee Rei Photography was an exceptional choice for our wedding photographer. Kailee was prompt, kind, and calm in all of our communications leading up to the big day, putting us at ease through the planning process. On the wedding day itself, she impressed even my husband, who doesn't normally like having his photo taken. Kailee gave clear direction for portraits and efficiently wrangled our large groups for family photos, helping keep the day running smoothly. The quality of Kailee's work is simply amazing - we've received so many compliments on our wedding photos, which perfectly captured the joy and special moments of our celebration. We felt the exceptional images we received were well worth the value. I would highly recommend Kailee Rei Photography to any couple looking for a talented, professional wedding photographer.

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.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.
