John Foley Photography 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Riverdale, IL

Hi! I'm John, a wedding photographer based in Chicago, IL. I believe deeply that great wedding photography is about creating imagery that is as visually compelling, as it is emotionally significant. Weaving the images together to tell unforgettable stories. My distinct 'documentary meets fine-art' style is a product of my unrelenting commitment to my craft and the complete trust that my couples place in me. I primarily cover weddings in the Chicagoland area, but I will travel to any destination worldwide for those seeking an adventure.

Awarded Best of Zola
John was absolutely amazing! Throughout the entire process start to finish he delivered well beyond our expectations. These are moments we will treasure forever and now we have them forever in his art. To call him a (or an amazing) photographer is simply not enough he is an artist who truly cares about his passion and clients.

Wendy was the sweetest photographer ever!! She was so kind right from the beginning.

As for the wedding she met all our expectations she made sure we covered all my ideas I sent her. The pictures came out so beautiful and made me cry all over again. I would book her again and again.

Kate Scott Photography

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!

Kate was an absolute dream to work with! She brought the energy and fun we were looking for! 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! Kate was fun, energetic, creative and thoughtful in her work! The pictures turned out wonderful! Kate helped us make memories that I will cherish forever!

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

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.

All I can say is Connie is hands down so much more than a photographer. She was so patient, kind, and positive when we had our elopement. We got down pour rain and she was quick to have plans to take us to get beautiful pictures. She was so thoughtful with doing things she didn’t have to do, like helping hold my wet dress, and so much more. Connie is extremely calming presence in a stressful and hectic day. We absolutely loved our pictures and all the special moments she captured without us realizing and was truly so special working with her!

Hi! I'm Emma, owner and lead photographer of Emma Mullins Photography. Our goal is simple: to capture your vibe, your people, and your love in a way that looks and feels true to life. We're in the middle of our 11th Chicago wedding season, and it's been a whirlwind of all things real and fabulous! We are super excited to offer FILM photography services to our awesome couples this year!!

Emma was ABSOLUTELY spectacular, we can not say enough good things about her. We snatched her up from a friend's wedding because we were so impressed while we watched her work. She's incredibly easy to work with and super punctual and responsive. We were meant to have our wedding in 2020 but had to postpone due to covid, Emma was flexible and we were so happy that she was able to accommodate our new date. Not only is she a great photographer, she is also a genuinely wonderful human. I lost my mom early in 2020 and Emma sent over a lovely care package and note. Totally unexpected and just shows you how she will go the extra mile. My husband and I are a bit camera shy but she did a great job getting us out of our shells. She is incredibly creative and shared great ideas that lead to some of our favorite shots. She is truly an expert in her field and her eye for seeing things in a unique or artistic way is unmatchable. I wish I could hire Emma to photograph every important moment in my life!

Mariah made two people who are EXTREMELY camera shy feel so comfortable, her work is outstanding and captured the love from everyone at our wedding. Beyond her immense talent she is one of the sincere, kind, funny (the list goes one) that we’ve ever met. She blended into our special night, because she became a fast friend. Our guests raved about her presence as well as her work. Kevin also joined in and shot many of my intimate shots. Everything I can say for Mariah goes for Kevin—he is FANTASTIC. I’ve never been more confident to give a 5/5 review. King & Opal will always be a highlight of our wedding weekend.

Jennifer and her team were astonishing! I did a boudoir session as a bridal gift to my husband, it was such a breeze and I felt so comfortable, although I was quite nervous, she made me feel like I was a pro! Our wedding day was behind schedule all day and with a bridal party of 21 it was a chore keeping everyone on point. They not only kept us going but also checked off all the must have shots for us. Everyone was so professional and kind, we had an absolute fantastic time! I would 10/10 recommend! We budgeted for a good photographer and I am so grateful we did they were amazing to work with!

That day, I fell in love with everything about weddings— getting to work with all kinds of people and personalities, capturing every moment and each detail, and even getting to bust a move on the dance floor every now and then.

Awarded Best of Zola
Look no further - you have found your photographers, trust me! Clayton and Jordan have all of the checks, and then some. They photographed my wedding, as well as my sisters wedding, her sister-in-laws wedding, my brothers wedding, and one of my closest friend's wedding and in ALL cases their presence and quality of work was absolutely perfect. They have a way of bringing a sense of comfort and ease while photographing you and your families, balancing professionalism and charisma to make portraits super comfortable - they have kind and genuine personalities and obviously passion for the art they create and for providing their clients with a beautiful and meaningful reflection of important life milestones. Their talents are emphasized in this uncanny ability to create the most enchanting and magical candid photographs! When I looked through our wedding photos for the first time I remember thinking - how did they possibly capture that moment, I didn't even see them near us! Our pictures have this intangible quality where they almost reflect the exact "personality" of our wedding day. They have the experience, artistic eye, and this interpersonal empathy that will leave you with absolutely no regrets. We are forever grateful for Clayton, Jordan, and Lux Everlasting.

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, I’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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kaitlyn truly exceeded all expectations for our wedding photography! We had a dual ceremony followed by a reception, requiring about 14 hours of coverage—a significant task. But from the moment she arrived, Kaitlyn's bright, bubbly personality lit up the room, and she was punctual and prepared. Her attention to detail was impeccable, and she effortlessly guided us through the day, ensuring we stayed on schedule while capturing every special moment. What really stood out was how comfortable she made us feel—despite only communicating via email and phone prior to the wedding, Kaitlyn immediately felt like a longtime friend. Her professionalism, expertise, and passion for photography deserve five stars each! She even shared some raw shots with us throughout the day, and we were blown away by how stunning they already looked. I cannot wait to see the final photos and am confident they’ll be absolutely beautiful. Kaitlyn is an absolute gem, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and personable photographer. We’ll definitely be reaching out for all future photography needs! Thank you so much, Kaitlyn!!

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 I’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!

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!

A Chicago-based wedding and elopement photographer that values genuine connection, authentic emotions, and getting to know my clients on a deep and personal level. I value capturing your moments and memories exactly how they happen, helping you to remember the feelings of intimacy, love, and warmth of marrying your person.

I don't even have the words to tell y'all how amazing Jayde is. We are SO grateful we reached out to Jayde back in 2022 for our engagement shoot and immediately knew we needed to hire her for our April 2024 wedding. From the very beginning, Jayde was super professional, patient, and on top of it, not to mention SO friendly and warm. She made me and my husband feel so special and comfortable in front of her camera, and our entire bridal party loved her too. She created a seamless timeline for the day that worked so well and she made sure we were on time all day. The photos truly speak for themselves. She has an amazing eye and we are obsessed with her editing style. She surprised us with over 100 (!!!) previews the next morning and they were INCREDIBLE - we were blown away and shocked that she could turn them around that quickly. We are so so so excited to see our full gallery soon. Don't hesitate to book Jayde - she's truly a gem in the Chicago wedding industry. We can't wait to find another reason to book her!

Hey there! I’m a weddings and couples photographer based in Chicago, IL with my partner Emily and my rescue dog Daxter. I’m here to document joy and celebrate all the meaningful moments with the kickass people that find me.

I had the pleasure of working along side Sam for a wedding back in March. Being the wedding coordinator, I had the responsibility of confirming everything with each vendor. Sam was awesome and so quick at responding. He confirmed everything with me leading up to the wedding day. Sam is beyond professional and was so fantastic at keeping to the wedding day timeline and getting in every shot the brides requested. His photos speak for themselves. I highly recommend hiring Sam for your special day photography. I hope to get to work with him again and will most definitely be recommending him to my future wedding couples.

Spoiler alert: I didn't grow up daydreaming about weddings. Instead, I grew up on shaky home videos and weathered family albums—so I know how important it is to keep memories alive. The problem? The internet is overflowing with photos that focus on trends over authenticity. That's why, in a world filled with filters + fads, I'm here to capture every real moment of your wedding day.

We have worked with Chelsea for engagement photos, wedding photos, and just because photos. A photographer is the one person you are with the whole wedding day, so picking Chelsea was a no brainer. She gets the job done, but does so with kindness and through friendship. She also does a great job of getting us out of our comfort zone. Our wedding photos are truly stunning and are hung up throughout the house. She will be our go to photographer for all future needs! Thanks again Chelsea!

She combines her unique sense of style and her passion for photography to create a photographic document that captures special moments, relationships, and love.

She continues to build on her abundant natural talent by attending workshops and seminars to keep up with the latest trends in wedding photography.

highly recommend Daniela as a wedding photographer. She has a wonderful personality that makes you feel at ease in front of the camera, even during the hectic rush of a wedding day. Daniela and her team were excellent at keeping everyone on schedule with the photography timeline. They made sure key moments like the processional, ceremony, and family photos stayed on track. This really helped minimize any stress or delays. Throughout the planning process, Daniela was extremely responsive via email. She answered all my questions promptly and provided helpful suggestions. On the wedding day itself, Daniela blended into the background but still managed to get fantastic shots. She captured all those special candid moments without ever interrupting the flow of events. I would highly recommend Daniela to any couple looking for a talented and dedicated wedding photographer. She and her team exceeded all expectations.

Six years of taking bright, colorful, fun wedding photos in the city has taught me how to deliver a complete gallery of your day told in an artistic, meaningful, and unobtrusive way--because I'm here to document your day, not to direct it. As much as I love taking photos (it's truly my favorite thing in the world!), I believe your wedding is about celebrating all your people being in the same place at the same time + kicking back and enjoying while I make sure all those memories are on camera.

Awarded Best of Zola
Alana and I connected over Instagram shortly after Nick and I got engaged. Over the course of a year, I fell more in love with her shot style, her colors, and just about everything she posted. She and I messaged, liked, and commented so it was nice having as much of a connection as people can have through Instagram before booking. When we decided to book she helped so much with ideas for outfits, time of day, and locations to shoot as well!! When we scheduled our engagement shoot, it worked perfectly to where she could come to our location while she was in Cinci. Day of the shoot, anything that could have gone wrong, went wrong BUT Alana handled everything with such flexibility and ease. We were able to get shots before and after the torrential downpour that forced us to change locations and WE ARE IN LOVE with the photos. I seriously can’t say enough amazing things about her. She makes us even more excited for our wedding just through looking at our engagement photos and the photos she shares on her blog/website/Instagram. Long story short: book her. She’s your girl for all things wedding ❤️❤️

I’m a wife and Jesus lover who is dedicated to serving and loving my clients well, by giving them a unique experience. I offer custom wedding packages that are designed with my couple in mind.

Sierra was AMAZING to work with! She stuck with us even after we pushed back our wedding by a year and scaled it down! She made that everything was perfect and even helped us record the ceremony on our phone! We are so glad that Sierra was our photographer and would definitely work with her again!

Chicago-based wedding and elopement photographer. I like to make my clients take off their shoes or at least get bare and honest about their love in front of my camera. I love to explore the urban environment with you and make your wedding portraits feel real and true to your life in the city. But I also take any chance I get to drag you to the woods or the beach for some barefoot wedding portraits. Aren’t we so lucky to have those right here in the city!
