John Foley Photography 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Winnetka, 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 Foley is THE photographer you need for your wedding! From the moment my mom, now husband, and I met him & after seeing his work, and the awards his work has received - we knew we wanted him to document our special day. John was kind, professional, and very organized. He worked so well in the space given to him (it was not big while getting ready) & still the pictures came out beautiful. He knew how to direct people and quickly take portraits. But also was very sneaky and I didnt notice him unless he was directly asking to take a picture. Most importantly - he goes out of his way to make the picture happen. I lost my father 4 months before my wedding & forgot to take a picture I had in mind between the hustle & bustle - he was able to photoshop/create an image that truly looks like he took it. John is your man - TRUST ME

Zach Caddy Photography 

5.0

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

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

Shutter & Sound 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Winnetka, IL

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

I recently used Shutter & Sound for my wedding and they were fantastic! The team was super friendly and really skilled at capturing all the important moments without being intrusive. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors which made everything go smoothly. When we got our photos and videos back, we were blown away by the quality and how they managed to capture the feel of our special day perfectly. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch wedding photography and videography!

I am a fan of Pinterest vision boards, sending each other tons of messages and be open about EVERYTHING! This is your day! Let’s make it all about YOU!

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!!

We are so glad we hired Emma for our wedding! All the photos, both staged and candid, and it's hard for us to pick favorites - Emma was understanding of the staged photos we knew we wanted (which turned out exactly as we had hoped!) and had great, unique ideas for other staged photos that we didn't know we wanted! She and Jeremy also caught so many great candid moments throughout the day and we ended up with fun and funny photos of all our guests. Beyond the excellent photos, Emma is a true professional. Her organizational skills are top notch as she was great at communicating with us and our other vendors throughout our planning process as well as she keeping us on track and on time for pre-ceremony photos on the day of our wedding. She dealt with all our spur of the moment photo requests with grace and was very patient and helpful in wrangling some of our more distractable family members during the staged photos. Thank you so much Emma & Jeremy!

So there’s no “I” in team right?! While Captured Couture is the product of years of hard work that I built from the ground up. I have an amazing team because sometimes takes more than just me. For larger events or on occasions when I am already booked one of my team members will gladly assist with your event. We’ve covered hundreds of weddings together, and have refined our editing style and way of shooting to be completely consistent. You won’t be able to tell the difference. Pinky promise! No matter where you’re planning from when it clicks, it clicks.

My (now) husband and I chose to hire Jennifer from Captured Couture as our photographer for our wedding. We were both blown away by her images posted on her website and Instagram page and after having a phone interview we were convinced she was the one for us. Jennifer was communicative and so easy to work with. We were able to get a free engagement session with the purchase of our package which was awesome because we were able to meet her in person before our actual wedding. The day of the wedding there were a few minor hiccups as our wedding was the same day as the Detroit Pride fest, and we weren’t sure some of our desired locations would be accessible. Without a moment of hesitation Jennifer, who knows the city of Detroit incredibly well, was able to secure a location for our first look and our wedding party photos which turned out to be perfect. Jennifer and her assistant LeAnn captured every part of our wedding with some much care and attention to detail. Our photos are spectacular and we are so thankful for our photography team. Both my husband and I would definitely recommend Captured Couture to anyone looking for wedding photography.

Trust is the most important thing that I wanted to have in my wedding photographer, trust that they would capture every moment, trust that they would put my requests at the forefront, and trust that would deliver what we wanted. I put my trust in Mariah and she went above and beyond. She constantly checked in with me and put my concerns first. The pictures she delivered were beautiful, personal, and high quality. As every bride may mention there is always something they wish they could change about their wedding day because no day is perfect. But I wouldn't change my wedding photographer, that's non-negotiable. Stop looking and book her, she's worth it.

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.

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.

Our wedding photos are nothing short of breathtaking. Alana managed to capture every precious moment with such beauty and clarity, from the quiet, intimate exchanges to the grand, joyful celebrations. Her ability to find and frame the perfect shot is simply remarkable. Beyond her technical skills, Alana was a joy to work with. She was unobtrusive yet always present, ensuring she didn't miss a single important moment. Her warm personality made the entire experience enjoyable, and her dedication to her craft is evident in every photo she took. We are endlessly grateful to Alana for giving us these priceless memories that we will cherish forever.

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!

My name is Alaura, and I am a Chicago-based photographer with a love of great art, true stories, and old-school glamour. I believe in romanticizing everyday life for the joy of it. For me, that means fine teacups on a Wednesday, bouquets for no reason, and a home full of antiques. This also translates to my photography style!

Alaura was so easy to work with from day one. She is extremely responsive and understood our vision. When we got the final photos back we were so excited because they captured everything we wanted and more. She was also very organized and ready to go on the day of the wedding! Highly recommend Alaura and we hope to use her in the future for more of our milestones in life.

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!

Essi Photography was an absolute joy to work with on our wedding day. From our first interaction, her communication was intimate, responsive, and understanding of our vision. The quality of her work was creative in the way she could capture small moments throughout the day. Our photos are everything we wanted them to be, documenting all the special moments and candid photos of our loved ones that we will cherish forever. Essi played a huge role in making our wedding day so special, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.

We feel so lucky to have found MONRO photography to capture all the special moments of our New York wedding. They were professional, easy to work with, and ensured everything went smoothly on such a hectic and busy day. I loved that they met us the evening before to take some test photos. They even took the extra time out to look around the area, ensuring we took the best shots on our wedding day. We've already recommended them to other friends that have recently got engaged; we cannot recommend them enough and would work with them again in a heartbeat! Thank you Mike, Vitaliy, and Mykola for creating such beautiful memories for us! One last thing: the photos are AMAZING

I’m Maura – Chicago based wedding photographer to the stars (that’s you!) and I am so pumped you’ve found my little corner of the interweb. Your wedding day is going to be beyond-your-wildest-dreams amazing and beyond that, totally unique. Sure, you’ll put on “The Dress”, exchange your “I do’s” and probably cry at some point (or at all points!) but your wedding day is 100% completely and utterly yours. I am here to help make this the best day of your life while creating heirloom art that tells your personal love story. I offer planning support and insider advice at every step of the journey to ensure nothin'-but-net on your Big Day.

Maura is truly an artist and we were so lucky to have had her capture our wedding day in September, 2024 at Firehouse Chicago!!!! Our pictures are so special and she captured some really beautiful moments on our wedding day that we know we'll treasure forever. Maura was recommended to us by a friend of a friend, who said "Maura was the single best decision she made for her wedding," and now we couldn't agree more! Maura was amazing and easy to work with from start to finish- she was easy to communicate with leading up to our engagement shoot and our wedding, she provided a super helpful guide after booking, she has the best personality to keep you cool/calm/collected and looking your very best in photos, provided great direction for posing that didn't make us feel to awkward or uncomfortable, she helped us develop a perfect wedding day timeline and kept us on track day-of, and she more than anything rolled with the punches as our day went on! Maura was willing to step in anywhere for anything to ensure we were stress-free and enjoying our day, and that all the little moments were captured. One of the great things about booking Maura is that you don't need to wait months and months for your pictures - she sends a sneak peak the day after engagement shoots and weddings so you've got something to look at and enjoy while you await the rest a few weeks later. The pictures that we got the day after our wedding had us in tears. Not only were they beautiful, she somehow was everywhere all at once, and captured our special moments from every angle. I can't wait to see the rest of our gallery, and I know that we'll treasure these photos forever. I wouldn't hesitate to book Maura again, and I would recommend her to anyone in search of a photographer. She is the best!

Hi guys! My name is Allie!!! I am a traveling wedding photographer based out of chicago & texas. My heart literally beats for wedding days and redemptive stories. I love celebration + commitment + dance parties + traveling!!! It is my honor to capture the sweetest stories. My couples become verrrry dear to my heart, and it gives me the deepest joy to be part of engagement season + wedding days.

Allie's documentary style immediately spoke to me (and of course, her film work.) She has SUCH an eye for detail and capturing the most intimate photos, no matter what kind of wedding you're having. She beautifully captured all the special moments of our day, from the more traditional portraits and pretty details to the most meaningful documentary-style shots with our family and guests. And like other reviewers have said, shooting with her feels like hanging out with a friend. From the moment we first spoke with Allie, her warm, friendly, and approachable demeanor put us at ease. My husband and I's favorite moments from the big day were sneaking off to shoot some cool photos with Allie. And she had So Many Amazing in-the-moment ideas for shots. All of them ended up being our favorites. Whenever we had a hick up in the day or something didn't go entirely as planned, Allie completely went with the flow and adjusted on the fly to get the most fun and genuine photos. We're thrilled with our both our wedding and engagement pictures and are so grateful to have these memories captured so perfectly! If you're considering Allie for your photographer, do it! You won't regret it.

5 stars are not enough for this DYNAMIC DUO. We began our adventure in the lovely island of Bermuda on a very hot morning at the beach. Sylk Marti was there to capture every single moment of that wonderful day and took the most scenic and captivating photos I have ever seen. They displayed relentless energy even through the un-bearable heat and produced the most amazing photos of our wonderfully exotic fairy tale wedding. We continued our adventure 3 weeks later where we gathered with 130 of our family and closest friends to celebrate. Prior to the reception we encountered a few mishaps and just when I thought my day was ruined, the super heroes of Sylk Marti Studios swooped in and saved the day. I, in my crazy state, accidentally forgot to pick up my bouquet and boutonnière from the florist. Sylk quickly ran out and returned with a bouquet and boutonnière. I, then realized that our cake had not been delivered and learned there had been a mix up on the date with the baker. What was I gonna do without a cake on my wedding day??? Well, let me tell you what my super hero photographer, Sylk did. She quickly and magically arranged the delivery of a cake that was ready and on display just in time for the cake cutting. So, not only are they Chicago's most talented photographers, they are miracle workers. They kept the night moving smoothly as they wowed our guests with their amazing chemistry and charm. Danny's humorous and charismatic personality had all our guest willing and ready to take wonderful photos for a lifetime of memories and Sylk made sure that all the photos we requested were taken and all of our guests were included. Sylk Marti was ready at every step to capture every single fun filled moment of the night. My husband and I are thrilled that we chose Sylk Marti Studios to be part of our special day. Thank you guys!! YOU ROCK! Much love and success to you both! Lissy and Steve Rivero

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.

We booked Sam for our elopement at City Hall in October and cannot say enough wonderful things about working with him! From the very beginning, he was organized and communicative and put us totally at ease. The day of our marriage ceremony, he was the absolute best third wheel, making the day feel special by hyping us up and also disappearing into the background so that we could have some special moments that felt more private. Neither my husband or I had ever done a formal photoshoot before but we both felt so comfortable with Sam that it wasn't awkward. And most importantly, the end product was phenomenal. Sam had edited (and shared with us!) more than half the gallery by the end of the day. The photos are gorgeous (the colors, the lighting, the framing of the shots) and perfectly capture our special day. We feel so seen. 10/10 would book again!

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.

Chelsea went above and beyond her duties as a photographer! The morning of our wedding was incredibly chaotic and she really did her best to keep us all in line. We ended up running so late that we only had 15 minutes for photos after our ceremony. Chelsea took charge and made sure we got took advantage of that time. Absolutely cannot recommend her enough, you definitely won’t regret booking her!

Daniela Cardili tells the story of your wedding day with heartfelt images that artfully portray this very personal event. She combines her unique sense of style and her passion for photography to create a photographic document that captures special moments, relationships, and love. Her style reflects a mix of a photojournalist’s reflexes, a portraitist’s eye, and the strong influence of the worlds of beauty and fashion. She continues to build on her abundant natural talent by attending workshops and seminars to keep up with the latest trends in wedding photography.

We live in New York but are planning our Chicago wedding which makes vendor selection tied to phone calls and e-mails. In a process that can feel so impersonal, Daniela made it immediately feel like she had known us forever! During our first call, she was down right excited about our wedding which made me even more excited! Since we were in New York, we originally decided to hire Daniela for our wedding and do engagement photos local to NY. Once the pandemic hit and we had to move our wedding, my fiance and I wanted to do something romantic together. We called Daniela and asked if she would do an engagement shoot for us in Chicago. I cannot tell you how happy I am that we decided to do that. It was the BEST day. We got to spend the evening laughing together, exploring our hometown, and enjoying each moment - that is exactly what Daniela captured. Scrolling through the photographs, I didn't know someone could capture love like that. I am so grateful to have these pictures forever and ever. If I could describe her final product it would be the perfect balance of high end, romantic, chic, natural. It is instantly clear looking at her photographs that she is an incredible professional who takes her craft very seriously all with a big smile and heart to make you comfortable to look and feel your best. We booked a vendor and ended up with a friend for life! Can't wait for the wedding!
