Ivan and his team were great! From start to finish it was a very smooth process to book with IGphoto, we had an engagement shoot with him as well.

Hello, and welcome, I’m a wedding photographer with over 9 years of experience, originally from Moldova. My journey began with a simple but powerful dream- to create something beautiful, something meaningful, something that lasts far beyond a single moment. Now based in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, I’m also available for travel to capture your story wherever it unfolds. Over the years, photography has become more than just a profession for me- it’s an art of connection. I’m drawn to genuine emotions, refined details, and the quiet, in-between moments that often go unnoticed.

If you made it to this page, you can see through my work that I love telling the story of your day by capturing the emotions and moments you can't afford to miss. ​ I come from a large Italian family with many of us extended into the arts or passionate about cooking and singing. I picked up my first camera in high school and immediately I was hooked. Today, I have over a decade in the industry, multiple commendations, and have held the Wedding Wire Couples' Choice Award and The Knot Best of Weddings Award 7 years in a row and counting. ​

Xcitephoto&Films was an excellent choice for our wedding photography and videography. Their communication was clear, precise, and they provided fast answers by phone or email throughout the planning process. The quality of their work was very professional, and the photos and video were beautifully done! They had 3 photographers who each took the time to capture photos with every table of family and friends, ensuring we have wonderful memories from our special day. Andrew and his team were very nice, professional people who listened to our needs, gave us their best work, and fit well within our budget. We highly recommend Xcitephoto&Films to any couple planning their wedding.

Hi, I’m Joe! I’ve been photographing weddings for over 20 years because I love capturing authentic, heartfelt, and timeless moments while keeping the day fun and stress-free. I gently guide couples and families when needed, making sure the moments that matter most are captured beautifully. Featured in Modern Luxury Chicago Bride, and award-winning online and print magazines, I become couples’ go-to person on the day, building trust and creating images they’ll treasure forever. — Joe

Working with Joe was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding day. From start to finish, he made everything feel effortless. He’s calm, fun, and somehow everywhere and nowhere at the same time, capturing every moment without ever feeling intrusive. He went above and beyond — from stepping into traffic to help us get the perfect shot to catering to every need we had. Our photos at the Peninsula Hotel, North Avenue Beach, Millennium Park, the Rookery, and Board of Trade are absolutely stunning, and we get to relive the day every time we look at them. Joe isn’t just a photographer — he’s like family now, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience or the pictures.

Hey! I'm Mackenzie - mom, photographer, wife and book + latte obsessed! Ideal day starts with a latte and a bagel sandwich (because going out for breakfast is the BEST) and ends with a good book. Throw in a photoshoot or wedding in the middle and I'm set!! I have been a professional photographer for 14 years now focusing on couples, families and small businesses. I am not a fan of super stiff posing so I use prompts and play games to capture your personalties and relationships. For weddings, most of your gallery will consist of candid shots of your day helping to tell your story. I'd love to chat with you more!!

I have been a wedding photographer for over 13 years now, but I'm still excited about every wedding I shoot. Every day is different, and I love the excitement and the genuine relationships that I get to capture between the couple, their parents, their siblings, and their best friends. My goal is to help each couple have the best possible day, while capturing their memories in the most flattering and memorable way.

Awarded Best of Zola
Bryson and I had the honor of working with Mary Rose for our wedding and we were so blessed by her partnership and her craft - not only did she get us previews less than 24h after the event itself, we had the full gallery one month later. And the photos were AMAZING. She captured the formal portraits and the unseen moments in the most tender way. Her presence is calming and encouraging; she is an expedient communicator leading up the event, extremely collaborative yet informative. We knew we were in good hands with a pro like Mary Rose. She is the confidant you want by your side no matter what curveballs the wedding day may throw or family dynamics may bring.. We knew we wanted to work with Mary Rose during our first consultation call, when she found a chicken egg in her pocket from her farm, because she is just that cool. And to this day and for years and years to come, we cherish the photos that she was able to capture. It is an honor to work with Mary Rose and I suggest you do the same!

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.

Documentary Wedding Photography for Couples Who Value Real Moments: A wedding isn't a photoshoot. It's a day filled with moments that will never happen again—a nervous smile before the ceremony, your dad's expression as he sees you for the first time, the hug from your grandmother that lasts just a little longer than expected. Those moments can't be staged, repeated, or recreated. That's why I photograph weddings the way I do.

Thomas did an amazing job with the engagement photos and our wedding photos. Choosing your photographer is a big deal and we are so glad we chose Thomas. We love all of our photos and I’m so glad we have them to cherish for the rest of our lives.

My name is Jana Blue and I've been photographing weddings for 12 years. I'm consistent not in a trend of photos or style, but emotions. Each wedding and couples are so unique and my work follows that. In my career I've photographed both big production weddings and also intimate DIY ones. I've photographed informal engagements and elopements/weddings in a desert in Chile, in the mountains of Zion, in a beach in Croatia, in an ancient church in Greece and in forests in Brazil. I work with all different budgets and needs from my brides. I'm a preferred vendor of Chicago First Lady Boat, so I do weddings on the boat during the summer.

Hi, I'm Ashley! I'm a professional wedding photographer based in Northern Illinois! At my core, I’m a giggly, bubbly, empathetic goofball with a welcoming heart. I've had roots in the wedding industry for a while now and have taken on many roles and worn many hats in this profession! In addition to wedding photography, I'm also a wedding coordinator and work for my local florist! I thrive in environments where I can be intentional, present, loving, empathetic, real, raw, and share in this space with others. This is the driving factor behind my “why” and where my passion for photography and the wedding industry takes root.

Where in the world do I start with my girl Ashley?! When planning my wedding in 2024, I knew one of the most important things during the process was to find an amazing wedding photographer, and sure enough we did! My husband and I got SO lucky. From the beginning, Ash made us beyond comfortable at our engagement shoot (it was our first time ever taking professional photos) AND we had a blast even though it was absolutely freezing that day. During one of the most stressful times of my life planning the wedding, she was the most amazing support, giving the best advice and sweetest comfort throughout the wedding process. Ashley helped make our wedding day go by so smoothly, helped calm my nerves with her warm presence and did an AMAZING job with our photos. She helped capture the most beautiful parts of our day and was so determined to get rainbow pics that we were so lucky to have. Ash was not only the best wedding photographer and her work is beyond beautiful, but she's also become a close friend of mine. I truly am so glad we found each other, I will forever be grateful for our girl! Don't think twice, I promise you won't regret booking any shoot with Ashley!

I’m a photographer who genuinely loves people and the art of storytelling. I don’t just show up with a camera—I show up as your biggest fan and your calm in the chaos. On your day, I’m fully in your corner, cheering you on, keeping things light, and making sure you feel comfortable being you. I believe the best photos come from real connection, laughter, and those in-between moments you didn’t even realize were happening. I’m known for being super funny, easygoing, and great at bringing out natural smiles—because if you’re having fun, the photos will feel like you.

5 stars is not enough for Michelle!!! We spent a lot of time searching for a photographer because of how important it is to look back at your photos since the day is such a blur. We are beyond grateful we trusted Michelle with this. She’s not only incredibly fun, but she is extremely professional and knows exactly what she is doing and how to pose us for photos that are unrecognizable. Both my husband and I consider ourselves to be “awkward” and we could not even believe the photos she was capturing for us. Even on our wedding day she was so excited to share some of the photos to my phone that she was taking during the day. It made me so excited and so proud to show our family what she was doing behind the camera and how incredible our photographer was. So many people were so jealous as they did not get the same type of privilege on their wedding day. She is worth EVERY penny we spent and we can’t stop looking at the photos she captured for us as we re-live our day with so much happiness!!! She is the best and we will continue to trust her with all of our photos going forward!

Not only did they deliver breathtaking photos and a beautifully crafted video that have allowed us to relive every magical moment, but they also went above and beyond—personally driving us to our venue on our wedding day. Anders and Kristin were also some of the most fun people we’ve ever worked with. From our initial meeting at our engagement shoot, they had us laughing, feeling totally at ease, and actually enjoying every moment in front of the camera. Their creativity and talent speak for themselves—the photos and video are beyond stunning—but it’s their personalities that made the whole experience unforgettable. They somehow managed to capture every candid, heartfelt, and hilarious moment, while also making sure we had the time of our lives in the process.

Abby was absolutely wonderful every step of the process for our wedding! I loved her energy and excitement for us and the process from just getting to know us over the phone, to working together in person. We weren’t going to do an engagement shoot, but as time went on we started getting FOMO and asked Abby if she could accommodate it last minute. She made it happen and the pictures were amazing!! It got us so so pumped for the wedding day. She posed us when needed but also stepped away at just the right moments to capture sweet candid moments. Her and her team are considerate, polite, and skilled!!!! We are OBSESSED with our album. You cannot go wrong hiring Wren and Rose!

Your photos shouldn't just look good — they should feel like that day. I shoot candid and real, then shape the edit around it: deep contrast, muted distractions, and your story right front and center.

I could not be happier with my experience! Brady has done my engagement photos and my wedding photos and from start to finish, he was professional, friendly, and made the entire experience fun and easy! If you’re using him for your wedding, he takes away all the stress and makes sure to pay attention to every little detail! He captures every special moment and so much more. If you are looking for high quality photos and someone who is spunky and ready to do it all, Brady is your guy! I know I will be booking with him again.

I’m Marissa a photographer, mom, and wife. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me adventuring around Chicago (or across the country) with my family. We love exploring new places, and I’ll never say no to a good plate of nachos, a Snickers, or a fizzy water. Photography has been part of me for as long as I can remember—I’ve always had a camera in hand. Fun fact: my daughters are even named after a camera and after light (can you guess their names?). What I love most is capturing real, meaningful moments, especially weddings. Being able to preserve love stories in an authentic and lasting way is truly the heart of what I do.

I hired Marissa as our photographer this past June for our Long Beach, California Wedding knowing she was going to capture every moment beautifully. Let me tell you, she delivered so much more. She helped keep forward momentum through the whole night when everything was just a joyful blur I was lost in. When an issue arose with the second photographer, she found a solution before we even knew of the problem. She was such an incredible asset throughout the entire experience. On top of that, our photos came out incredible. She captured the feeling of the wedding. So many touching moments, celebrations, and Justin and I have never looked better. I’m obsessed. I can’t rave enough about how incredible Marissa is. I could not imagine our wedding without her, you shouldn’t either. 100000/100 highly recommend
