Joanna gives direction well and again, is hilarious. Both communicate SO well and their passion for photography is inspiring. We felt more than comfortable with them along our entire journey!! Our photos are GORGEOUS and they truly captured the memories that we will remember forever. I must include a prime example of how in-tune these two are: I have a scar on my right arm that I am self conscious about and truthfully, it would have been a challenge for anyone to get around. However, our photos limited the number of times my scar was visible, if even at all. A truly unique touch that means so much. We will 100% be booking them to photograph all future events in our lives. I can't say enough about how incredible these two are. Worth every penny and then some!!!

Jenelle Kappe Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Wilmette, IL

I believe experiences outweigh possessions. I have a slight obsession with making my dog pose on random objects, just so I can upload the photo to Instagram. I wish to one day make out in a hot summer rainstorm. I collect nearly empty perfume & lotion bottles that I will never finish. Their smells bring back so many good memories. I believe the relationships that inspire you the most should be the ones held closest to your heart.

Jenelle was absolutely amazing as our wedding photographer! From the moment we met her at our engagement shoot to our wedding, she has made the entire experience stress-free and relaxed. Her calm and chill vibe helped keep everything low-pressure, allowing us to truly enjoy each moment of our wedding day. Jenelle is so accommodating and went above and beyond the entire day/night whether it was helping with my gown, the Groom’s boutonniere or capturing photos of us and our family in the rain. Her photography is breathtaking, capturing the emotion and romance of our special day in the most beautiful way. We are so grateful to have worked with Jenelle and cannot recommend her enough!

We are Caitlin and Dejan (pronounced Dayin), we met each other in high school and we’ve been together ever since (time flies when you’re having fun!). Photography is something that we both have always had a passion for, and it wasn’t until we started to plan our own wedding that we realized we wanted to turn our passion into a career. Aside from photography, we love to spend time with our two dogs, Stella and Blaire. They are Australian Shepherds with HUGE personalities, and they are a big part of our lives. We are excited to start this journey and we can’t wait to become friends with you during it!

Awarded Best of Zola
Katie and Dejan are incredible - do yourself a favor, and book them ASAP! From our very first phone call, I instantly felt comfortable with both of them, and could tell that working together would be relaxed and fun, which was exactly what we were looking for. I could tell as soon as we met them for our engagement shoot that we made the right choice. My husband and I are both deeply awkward in front of the camera, which usually makes us very unphotogenic. Katie and Dejan helped us feel comfortable, gave us all the cues we needed to get cute poses, and we had such a great session! It was so nice being able to meet them both and work with them prior to wedding day. On the wedding day, Katie and Dejan were INCREDIBLE. They kept us on schedule, and (when we inevitably got behind because the bridal party was running late in hair and makeup), they stayed calm and collected, got us back on schedule, and never once made me feel rushed or stressed. They even got us some absolutely breathtaking preview photos literally the next day! I could not be happier with choosing Caitlin Davis photography - would highly recommend them for your wedding, engagement, or any special event! They are the absolute best!

We just had our wedding this past Friday, 8/21/20. Covid-19 created a lot of uncertainty on how things would turn out. But, there were 2 things that were certain. We were getting married and Justin was going to be there to capture it. Whether it was at the original venue, a boat, or in a tiny backyard. Justin's enthusiasm is so genuine and infectious.

I've been a photographer for almost 6 years - almost 3 years FULL TIME! As a kid/teen, concerts were (and still are) my home. I was gifted a point and shoot camera for Christmas one year and to remember the moment, I'd bring it to every concert I went to. Eventually, I'd bring it to every sleepover and event. Snapping photos has always been important to me. I'm sure 12 year old me would absolutely LOSE it if she knew this would be the start of something amazing. 6 years in - 75+ weddings of all sizes and hundreds of love stories documented and no signs of stopping anytime soon.

Megan was absolutely amazing to work with. She is super sweet and takes the time to listen to what you really want. She pays attention to tiny details and is always there with more ideas. She really takes the time to make sure she knows exactly what you want and how you want it to look. Then she blows it out of the park! If you are ever looking for a photographer I would say go with her! She is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met and truly loves her job.

I (Karin) remember how I felt planning my wedding. Things I had never thought about before suddenly became the most important things to me. I researched like crazy and made inspiration pages in my wedding binder (before the days of Pinterest) so I had a clear idea of what I wanted. Above all I knew I wanted the most BEAUTIFUL photos that represented us. And even though we did all this work to find a great photographer, we were so disappointed with our photos. Now, I realized what mistakes I made and what I wish somebody would have shared with me when I was choosing a photographer.

We had a wonderful experience working with Jeff from Ev Photography Chicago for our wedding photography. Jeff was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the planning process, answering all of our questions and making helpful suggestions. On the wedding day, Jeff's calm demeanor and ability to adapt on the fly when our trolley broke down really stood out. He helped us manage the situation and made sure we stayed on track to capture all the special moments we envisioned. Jeff has a very personal, elegant, and creative photography style that resulted in gorgeous and meaningful images from our special day. It's clear he cares deeply about capturing the essence of his couples. The photographs Jeff delivered far surpassed our expectations. We're so grateful to have these stunning visual memories of our wedding, and highly recommend Ev Photography Chicago!

Except my husband says I am a horrible listener but I think that's just to him! I love cats, craft beer, burlesque and radical self care!

I met Melissa working in the industry on one of the most difficult shoots I've ever been on. That night she was a total professional and amazing photographer and we quickly bonded. I trust her so much that when it was time for my wedding she was who I asked to capture it. She travelled to France to photograph our wedding and was there like one of our family. She kept us calm and having fun in the stressful moments and her creativity made some of the most incredible wedding photos we could have imagined. Now years later Melissa is the person we call first when it is time to capture our family growing. If her photographs aren't enough to convince you, take it from someone who filmed weddings for 13 years; Melissa is the person you want capturing your day.

Hi, I’m Teri! I’m a Chicago based Wedding Photographer. I approach my photography as an artistic craft. I strive to create images that are emotional and striking. My life’s work is photographing people’s most joyous moments—preserving feelings and details that may otherwise be lost. I am obsessed with creating playful compositions, capturing fleeting moments that make the most treasured memories come alive again. The couples I work with place immense trust in me and it is my honor to create art for them.

Teri B was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding day. Teri's communication style throughout the planning process was professional, knowledgeable and made us feel at ease every step of the way. She is the sweetest person, and her experience really shines through in your conversations with her because she knows which shots to recommend and fight for. On the big day, Teri helped guide us to capture all the right moments while making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She helped us narrow down our shot list to strike the right balance so we captured everything we wanted to, but also not make the day feel overly posed and over manufactured. The end result is nothing short of jaw-dropping. Teri managed to encapsulate all the nostalgic, heartwarming and stunning details of our wedding in a way that only she could do. The photos tell our story beautifully. We are completely in love with our photos so far and can't wait to relive our special day through Teri's artistic eye. We are still waiting on the full set, but our sneak peeks are already so amazing. It brings a tear to my eye when I look at them not only because I think fondly of my wedding day, but also because her level of artistry evokes in me a profound sense of wonder and respect for her work. If you're looking for a photographer who can capture the essence of your wedding through stunning, emotional images, I highly recommend connecting with Teri B.

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.

My business has been a decade in the making from falling in love with photography in high school, to now... My love for Milkweed and my time spent living in Iowa has inspired my business name. I used to live near a conservation center with fields of milkweed. My children and I spent many days enjoying this haven of beauty and were blessed to see thousands of Monarch butterflies migrate to the Milkweed. I realize how fleeting these moments are and would love to capture your story!

Working with milkweed moments is a breeze! I was nervous because I have a 3 and 1 year old, and wasn’t sure how they would cooperate. Aubriana made everything go smoothly. She’s great with kids, great with directives on posing, and really made the day so fun! She got all the shots I dreamed of!”. Will be booking her again in the future!

I'm Savanna, a wedding photographer who specializes in non-traditional and laid-back days. My work is documentary style, and it is my intention that your photos allow you to feel exactly how you did when they were taken, years later.

Working with Savanna and having her with us on our wedding day felt like having a supportive friend and hype woman by our sides all day. :) We are absolutely over the moon with our photos, and cannot stop raving about Savanna to everyone! She captured the most intimate and meaningful details of our wedding day, and we have hardly been able to stop pouring over the photos since we got them. On a gray flood-filled weekend, the colors and joy of everything popped so well in her film and digital shots. Savanna has created memories that are so beautiful that we can turn them into actual art pieces to hang on our walls! She is a true artist and a rare talent, and working with Savanna was the best decision we made for our wedding. We are so thankful for her!

I document love for a living, and what drives me is capturing authenticity in the moments that I am privileged to become a part of with my clients. I've been photographing weddings for over a decade. I know how to make you look good, and how to take away the "overwhelmed" fake vibe most couples feel and replace it with meaningful photos in 1/250 of a second.

With the day just being insane. There were so many times Kay checked in on me which made me to make sure I was okay, really made me take a breath throughout the day and made me feel special. We did our engagement pictures at a brewery and she was super creative with the pictures. For our wedding day I sent her my Pinterest board and she went for all the pictures I wanted. I’m so excited to see what they all look like. Even her second shooter seemed like she was everywhere. Start to finish the whole process was so easy to work with Kay. With so many vendors having one you vibe with is important and it was all there. 10/10 recommend her, & the team she has.

Love! Flowers! Cute couples! Cake! The very reason I love photographing weddings is the beautiful moments between two people committing to each other. All of the other details are just the icing on the cake.

I have had the pleasure of working together with Joy on many occasions. I am a wedding florist and I have to say that she is one of my most favorite photographers to work with! She always has a bright smile on her face and she is so fun to work with. I have witnessed first hand how much her couples and their friends and family enjoy having Joy take their photos! You can see their enjoyment in her photos because Joy captures all of the love and emotion from their big day! I have also been lucky enough to be in front of Joy's camera for a family photo shoot and head shots. Joy made me feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera and I absolutely love those photos and I will always cherish them! I recently had the privilege of working together with Joy to plan and organize a styled photo shoot. She was flexible and open to ideas and she also brought such amazing ideas, along with creative vision and an impeccable sense of style to the table! I recommend Joy to as many of my clients as I can. I get so excited when I learn that we will be working on a wedding together! Not only because I enjoy working with her so much and my clients love working with her too, but also because she is very generous and shares her images of my floral designs with me. It is so important for a florist to have beautiful, professional photos for their portfolio and I know that the photos that receive from Joy will be gorgeous photos that are light filled, romantic and classic! Thank you Joy!

My goal is very simple; document what's happening. All of it. The little smiles, small embraces, big laughs, quiet tears, fingers intertwined, subtle glances, and first steps. None of these things will ever happen the way they happened today. I believe there should be proof that you laughed at that joke, said those vows, kissed that cheek, and cried those tears. And it should be captured in a way that is beautiful and full of feeling.

Please consider Sara as your photographer for your wedding day. Sara is professional but can also make you feel so comfortable and at ease that you forget she's your photographer. This makes those candid shots so perfect. She spent the day with us & made sure nothing was missed in our photos. When I look at them now, I feel like I am reliving the whole day. I so appreciate the tiny little details she manages to get. Thank you so much, Sara!

I believe in marriage. I believe in portraying couples in the beauty that they are, to elevate their love and the aesthetic of the wedding day. I am a fair mix of the candid “in between” moments and refined, posed, timeless poses that will serve to be heirlooms for your children and children’s children.

As wedding venue owners of The Wilds (www.thewildsvenue.com) in Bloomington, Indiana, we have had the opportunity to work alongside several amazing wedding industry vendors. In doing so, we’ve grown to absolutely adore Jordan Leffel Photography. We find ourselves frequently recommending Jordan and her team as they are incredibly talented photographers who are equally as focused on authentic client relationships as they are their final products. If you’re searching for true professionals with hearts of gold, look no further!

We are passionate about photographing kind-hearted people who are unapologetically themselves, and creating a safe and beautiful space in the wedding world for LGBTQ+ folx. Our favorite people to work with believe in giving back to their communities, that black lives always matter, that climate change is you know...real, and choose to embrace their own unique quirks and talents.

Shawnee was an unbelievable photographer and such a special part of our wedding weekend. From the moment we reached out to her to getting our pictures, she has been incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and deeply kind. She made us feel so at ease and taken care of at our Rehearsal Dinner and on our wedding day. She not only allowed us to be our fullest selves but also encouraged capturing us in ways that felt authentic and not stuck in expected wedding photos or gender roles. She captured our guests so beautifully too, particularly the kids who were in our wedding. Everyone's personalities shone through so wonderfully and the picture are absolutely stunning. We cannot believe how many and how incredible each and every photo is. We cannot recommend Shawnee enough!

The Jungle Branch offers an authentic, refreshing approach to wedding photography and is paired best with folks who wish to remain present in the moments throughout one of the most important days in their lives. With an artistically stylized and candid approach, my goal is to not only tell your story in its truest form, but to encourage you to fully live your day, allowing yourself to experience the calamity of joy with your loved ones without photography feeling like a production.

I've worked along side Mike as his second photographer for two years, he is by far the most creative and innovative wedding photographer I know. He has a great attention to detail and he is quick & efficient to capture a very meaningful moment. At times he even goes out of his way to create something unique & filled with emotion. He give great cues that create natural feeling emotions & poses. He is funny, kind, calm & upholds a standard of professionalism. His editing is consistent and thoughtful. I would absolutely without a doubt trust Mike with my own wedding photography.
