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.

From the very first interaction, the team at Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. was incredibly responsive, patient, and detailed in their communication with us. On our wedding day, their incredible attention to detail was evident in the stunning photos they captured. They were constantly checking in with us throughout the reception to make sure we were getting all the shots we wanted. As a couple who isn't always comfortable in front of the camera, Mario made us feel at ease and was able to create the exact type of photos we had envisioned. Our wedding day was truly unforgettable, and we have Once Like a Spark to thank for preserving those memories so beautifully. We would absolutely recommend them to any couple planning their big day!

His guidance was super helpful and we were able to get all the shots we wanted plus a lot of amazing candid shots! He worked with us every step and made sure we had fun with it. He was also very understanding about our limited budget and worked resourcefully and creatively. We were originally supposed to have an outdoor wedding but it rained so we had to move it indoors. We were disappointed because we loved the outdoor space at the venue, but Pierro found ways to get beautiful shots inside. He also managed to get some incredible shots outside despite the weather! Overall, it was an amazing time and we are so happy that we went with Pierro. Would definitely recommend his services!

  • Serves Peru, IL

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
I will start this review off by simply stating that the choice of the photography “vendor” might have been one of the most important choices to me in our wedding planning process and the one that gave me much anxiety initially. I was looking for someone who could capture the feeling of our day, of course get lovely photographs of our friends and family, and also let shine their artistic talents to create photos that could stand alone without the obvious label of a “wedding shot.” The decision of which photographer to pick with the initial brief above seemed daunting...especially in a sea of what seemed to be very standard wedding photographers all at about the same price point or much more for what didn’t seem like better quality. When I stumbled upon Anders, I immediately felt a connection to his artistic style that felt in a different league to what I had been looking at. We had an initial consult with Anders and all of the feelings of anxiety over the photographer (how the pictures might turn out, whether we were going to regret our choice, etc.) washed away completely. We are living in the PNW and were able to do an engagement shoot while we were in Chicago briefly and Anders was very flexible with our scheduling and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. He spent extra time, took us to such interesting spots, and the results were so beautiful. I mentioned in our initial consultation that what was most important to me was enjoying our wedding day and the special time with friends and family which is exactly what we got. Anders did such a great job in making sure we stayed on track with important shots and was able to create so many other personal shots that I just love looking back on! Not only this, but he also ended up creating a wedding video for us that was so special. Not only is Anders a wonderful photographer, but a wonderful person who is so friendly, kind, and truly passionate about his work. We are not the only ones who noticed; We had multiple guests after the wedding comment on how fun Anders was to interact with. I cannot think of an easier decision that we made for our wedding. I cannot recommend Anders enough!

We had a very small wedding ceremony due to COVID and we hired Andrew to capture the entire day for us. This included shots of us getting ready, a photo shoot of both of us before the ceremony, the ceremony itself and a small dinner afterwards. We could not have been happier with Andrew's professionalism and his ability to put us at ease. He let us make suggestions and offered his own ideas of shots to take and was able to take charge and slip into the background easily. During the dinner afterwards, we asked him to sit down and join us and he fit right in with our party! We were very happy with the quality and variety of the photos and would absolutely recommend him to all of our friends!

I'm an award winning wedding photojournalist from Chicago, Illinois.

When the dogs aren't keeping me busy I love traveling all over the world, cooking amazing meals, jumping on my Peloton and eating Thai food while binging Netflix.

Awarded Best of Zola
I booked Sarah for our intimate wedding in April, and I couldn't be happier with the results. My husband is a photographer, so he was very picky about wanting a photographer who would capture the natural beauty of our unconventional wedding in our favorite restaurant. Looking through Sarah's work, we really loved how her work didn't look staged or overly edited. When we got back our photo proofs, we were even more blown away. During our pre-dinner photoshoot, we have so many stunning photos of us in our favorite Chicago neighborhood, both in places we wanted and in cute little alleys and doorways that she found day-of. And then during dinner, despite pretty cramped quarters, we have photos of all of our 40 guests enjoying the evening. We will treasure Sarah's work for years to come!

On the wedding day, Ozan arrived early and hit the ground running, snapping photos right away and keeping up the energy and pace throughout the entire event. His experience shone through as he was comfortable facilitating numerous group photos and offering great suggestions on positioning. Ozan also scoped out the venue ahead of time and brought us to multiple spots for one-of-a-kind photos we hadn't even thought of taking on our own. The final edited photos were delivered quickly after the wedding, and the quality was truly professional and a cut above the rest.

Hey there, I'm Taber! A passionate wedding photographer with a heart full of love and a spirit that embraces the joy in every moment. Through my lens, I strive to weave stories that are not just timeless, but also uniquely romantic, creative, and filled with genuine fun. My fun-loving spirit ensures that not only do I take stunning photos, but I also create an atmosphere where laughter and joy naturally unfold. I specialize in creating images that not only stand the test of time but also tell a story that is exclusively yours. From intimate glances to exuberant celebrations, I aim to freeze every moment in a frame of everlasting beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
I could not have dreamt up a better photographer for our wedding than Taber Lacie... I don't even know where to begin. Booking her was easily the best decision we made of all our vendor choices. Her talent is just through the roof. There are certainly plenty of photographers out there who are talented and it can be tough to narrow down, but what I think separates Taber from the pack is how, in addition to being uniquely talented and passionate about her work, she is also affordable, incredibly fun to be around, and will stick around for the ENTIRE day and night. The importance of having a photographer who is laid-back, directive (in an enjoyable and super helpful way!), hilarious, and overall a joy to have with you is so underrated; it can really make or break your mood for the day since they're there, ideally, throughout every part of your day. In terms of her rates, I truly believe she could charge double what she does and still be worth every penny. The fact that she included a free engagement photo session (in part to help you ensure it's a good fit) and stayed through the reception was such a gift. That said, if I had to pinpoint one aspect of what makes Taber so special and why I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer is that she tailors her photographs to your preferences and taste. We are a huge fan of dancing photos, for example, and holy cow did she come through. She sends out a questionnaire before the big day and its purposefully lengthy so that she can be thorough and give you all exactly what you're looking for. Even if our photos aren't your taste, I highly recommend browsing her site, as her range is as remarkable as is the quality of her photographs. In short, if you book Taber, I am confident she will exceed your expectations just as she exceeded ours.

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 🖤

I grew my business after a desperate venture as a newspaper photographer over six years living with student loan debt in my father's basement. But, that soon changed... And in 2014 I had the opportunity to work with some of the best wedding photographers in the state line as a second photographer having 20 weddings that first year. It was brand new to me, it stirred a passion, and I realized I wanted to do this for a living. I found my calling, but that first year was rough, until...

Erik Anderson Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with. His communication style was fun, creative, and energetic, making the entire process exciting and effortless. The quality of his work was truly captivating, creative, and authentic. He was easy to work with, a great communicator, and worked seamlessly with us, the couple, and vendors to capture every special moment. I would highly recommend Erik to any couple looking for a talented and personable wedding photographer!

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!

My fiancée and I were photographed for our proposal/engagement by Kate and we loved her work! I found Kate on Zola and loved her portfolio. The diverse clientele and the way Kate was able to capture everyone so beautifully was a huge driver in choosing her to photograph us. When I reached out to Kate to get started with planning, I was blown away by her thoroughness, responsiveness, and clarity. She walked me through her pricing, what to expect, and even offered to help with light planning for the surprise proposal. I was super nervous but Kate was so kind and helped put me completely at ease. The day of the proposal (she said yes btw), Kate stayed in contact with me and gave me updates. Our original spot was busy, then free, then busy again lol. Kate arrived early and was scoping out the location, which helped so much! My fiancée and I don’t take a lot of photos, so I was a little worried about how our session would go. I had nothing to worry about! Kate’s energy was intoxicating in the best way! We felt so comfortable when taking photos. Kate had planned out poses and gave us tips the entire time. 10/10 would recommend her! The photos turned out amazing too! Kate gave us a few preview photos a few days later and we loved them. We still have a few more photos that Kate is finishing editing, but we’re so confident that they’ll be as fantastic as the previews. Overall, we really enjoyed our time with Kate and would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!

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. Erin took AMAZING photos of my family. No easy feat when you are dealing with a 6YO, 4YO, and 2YO. :P The photos she took will be treasured by family and are ones that will be hanging on the wall for a lifetime.

Our wedding included my toddler nephew and our dog, and she did such a great job getting their attention and giving us wonderful photos. We really got to know her, and she is very friendly, open and honest. She genuinely loves weddings and gets so excited for a great shot. She gave us feedback in the moment, which I really appreciated so that I could make small adjustments if needed. She was also great with working with our fixed set of time after the ceremony to ensure we got our priority photos done. She really knows what she’s doing and her work is great. I would highly recommend her for your wedding!

Born and raised in Joliet, IL. but now based in Pontiac, IL my husband and I love to travel all around the state and also out of it. Since I was a kid I've always loved photography and always had a camera I could get my hands on ready. It mostly consisted of my older sister's old cameras but I would make it work. I’ve been photographing weddings professionally since 2017. I like being the friend in the background taking pictures of you while you take it all in. That's the feeling I like to give my clients, posed and candid pictures.

Ailani and her team has done my work photos for my company threw out the years. Even tho she usually just does weddings she has done fantastic work for mt self and other friends weddings. I highly recommend.

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, “take an instant out of time; altering life by holding it still”, it’s also important that each instant of time is part of a person or event’s story.

Ken was the absolute perfect addition to our special day! Obviously you cherish your wedding photos forever and we could not be happier with them! On our big day, he made sure to get the most beautifully stunning yet natural shots that we envisioned while making sure we were comfortable and having the absolute best time.
