Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I loved working with Sheena since the beginning of our wedding journey! From engagement photos where she made us feel comfortable and supported, to our wedding where everything was crazy and Sheena held it down, she made me as a bride feel beautiful, and overall vibed with our whole wedding party. She is friendly, accommodating, and has a very upbeat and go with the flow attitude. She is also very lenient in her pricing compared to other photographers in the area. Our photos turned out beautiful and we are so grateful for Sheena and her services :) moving forward she will be our family photographer, and she took our maternity photos for our little girl in which I will attach a couple below as well, as they turned out beautiful.

Michelle Zapanta Photography 

5.0

Lockport, IL
  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,800

What started out as a hobby, evolved into a great passion. With a camera on hand for every event, I spent my lunch money as a young kid developing films at the photo store. I became so fond of capturing as many organic moments as I can in photographs and fell in love with the idea of telling people's stories in images rather than words. I started venturing into professional photography right after my own wedding to my high school sweetheart, Erick, which was back in 2014. I LOVE everything wedding-related. My favorite to photographs are the wedding details, the bride and groom portraits and anything that will make me either cry or laugh!

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Michelle was the best choice my wife and I made during our wedding preparations. Her photos are stunning. True professionalism, skill, and a keen eye for capturing those happy moments. But best of all, she has a warm personality which made working with her feel easy. She was able to photograph our Indian wedding with such class, that these memories will remain with us forever.

Offered packages include comprehensive, customizable planning and day-of coordination for all your wedding needs from your bridal shower and bachelor and bachelorette parties to the big day and the day-after brunch. Whether you only recently got engaged and you're not quite sure where to begin, or you have a crystal-clear vision in mind and just need an extra set of eyes and hands to bring it all together, I Do Memorable Occasions has you covered.

I don’t want to imagine how our wedding would have went without Christina & Lauren from I do Memorable Occasions. On a budget and initially hesitant about the need for Planning and Coordination, we chose the Partial Package for 2800, and it was worth every . From the beggining, Lauren and Christina took the reins and kept us moving forward meeting the deadlines we needed to. They helped us find the 5 vendors we selected, vetted them, got us to the prices we needed for each service, and stayed in touch with them along the way. Our wedding day coordinator Christina met with us in person at the venue, and twice over the phone (One of them with our photographer) to nail down the timeline of the day. She listened to our wants but more importantly kept us honest about what was possible and how long things would take. The day of the wedding Christina was simply amazing. She cooly worked under pressure both at the hotel and the church to get everyone ready to go on time. You can’t coordinate at the church without a coordinator or everything going thru Bridge/Groom. Then she went to the venue and worked quickly to get everything we wanted setup in just the right way. One there she kept us on schedule, herded the bridal party and our family, and kept the 2 of us on schedule. She always met us with a smile and 2 drinks when we needed them. The day was magical, our guests had a great time, and we have the memory we want. Worth every .

Two Birds Photography 

5.0

Lockport, IL
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,400

Hi, I’m Jake Moreland—the photographer behind Two Birds Photography. I’m also a proud dad to three awesome boys (who I lovingly refer to as my unpaid interns) and a rescue cat who keeps me company—mostly by getting in the way in the best possible way. When I’m not behind the camera, you can usually find me out hiking, camping, painting, digging through vinyl records, or making something with my hands. I’ve always been drawn to the soulful, timeless feel of black and white photography, and that sense of honesty and simplicity is at the heart of everything I shoot.

Jake is so much more than a wedding photographer—he’s a true visual storyteller. Every photo he took is filled with emotion, intention, and artistry. Looking at our photos now, I’m instantly transported back. He captured not only the big moments but also the quiet ones: stolen glances, joyful guests, the delicate details of our table settings. He saw everything without ever being in the way—so calm, so observant, so low-maintenance that we barely noticed him, yet he gave us the most complete and beautiful memory of our wedding. His attention to detail and his ability to see the full picture and the tiny moments is truly special! Jake made us feel totally comfortable in front of the camera, never forcing poses or interrupting the flow of the day. Instead, he brought our photo ideas to life with his own artistic touch—elevating them beyond what we imagined. If you’re looking for someone who will give you timeless, meaningful, and artful photos while letting you fully experience your wedding day—Jake is the one.

I am a mother, wife, and business owner. I created Liza Loret Events in 2015, when I wanted to make a difference in the Wedding Industry. My first couple of years, I began to get momentum in how I wanted my business to be structured.

From the moment we started planning our wedding, Liza Loret Events was by our side every step of the way. Her monthly check-ins helped keep us on track and her attention to detail ensured our day went off without a hitch. Liz is an absolute professional, keeping the day running smoothly and handling any issues that arose behind the scenes so we could fully enjoy our celebration. My whole family and bridal party felt so taken care of and loved by her as well. Her hard work and expertise was worth every penny - we honestly couldn't have done it without her. Best vendor decision we made for our wedding was booking with Liza Loret Events. Liz is truly the best in the business, and we are so grateful for the incredible wedding she helped us create. If she is available for your wedding date, BOOK HER NOW!

This was the first time we booked a major event with them. We were so impressed with their professionalism and expertise. Dana, the coordinator, assured me to not stress over details because that was her job and she totally delivered on that promise. Dan is the owner and he actually married us in a really beautiful ceremony.

In Lieu of a wedding cake, we did pumpkin pie and apple cider donuts provided by the venue. It was beautiful and means a lot to me that this was a family-owned operation.

I often tell people that when you get to do what you love, you never feel like you're actually working. I started my journey in Makeup Artistry in 2016 and since then I couldn't imagine doing anything else. My brides and other clients mean the world to me. I want to create an experience that is both personal, exciting, and FUN. It is an absolute honor to get to be a part of your wedding day and I look forward to working with you!

Kate K Beauty was an absolute DREAM to work with. Through every step of the process Katlyn was by my side and communicated quickly and efficiently. It was like my best friend was doing my hair and makeup on my special day. I loved doing a trail beforehand so I got to meet Katlyn and Natalie (hair) ahead of time and visualize the look. They were both so helpful on unifying my vision and open to changes too! I wanted a natural look with a lip color change halfway through the day and they nailed it!! They were on time and handled last minute schedule changes with grace. It was the absolute best way to start my magical day. They helped calm my nerves and sang along with my epic 'getting ready' playlist hahah. I've used Katlyn for multiple events now and each time she makes me look and feel beautiful and like my true authentic self. I cant recommend her enough!

My husband and I decided last minute we wanted a winter wedding. We contacted JG and they were SO fast to get us in to talk (we waited weeks and weeks to hear back from other venues..) and Deb and her staff were nothing short of welcoming and amazing. They seriously made our day PERFECT. I can truly say I was only stressed about having nothing to do because this venue truly does it all for you and makes your dream wedding come true. There wasn’t a single thing I thought later that I wish we had done- they truly have everything covered. The amount of compliments we got throughout the night about the food and the staff was also heartwarming. Knowing we were getting taken care of so well but also our guests made the night just that much better. Not only did we have a perfect wedding, but we also gained life long family with Deb because of how sweet and caring she is. We didn’t want the wedding to end because we wouldn’t get to see and talk to Deb all the time! Truly the best venue ever. If you are struggling for a venue- look no further. This is the perfect venue

Hey there! If we’re going to be friends, you should know that I'm goofy, adventurous, a shameless cat mom, and I don’t like chocolate (weird right?!). I graduated from Bradley University in 2018 and launched Moira Nolan Photography, specializing in wedding and engagement photography in 2019. Now here I am, a capturer of laughs, kisses, & all things love and it brings me so much joy! I mainly serve the Chicago and the Chicago Suburbs but I love to travel! Especially since it is a goal of mine to visit all 50 states.

I can't even begin to describe how absolutely amazing and wonderful our experience was with Moira! When we first contacted Moira she called us to go over our questions, and her services, it was so nice to be able to have a conversation about what we wanted and what she would provide! In the time leading up to our engagement shoot, I had changed my mind on location multiple times and Moira was extremely understanding and helped my vision come to life! We took our engagement pictures at the public library where I met my (now) husband and even took some pictures in the rain at our favorite park! Moira worked thru the downpour and got some AMAZING shots! Leading up to our wedding we met with Moira to go over timeline and she helped to make sure we would have enough time allocated for everything we wanted. On our wedding day Moira was punctual and extremely amazing to work with! We had to move some things around timeline wise and it all worked out beautifully. Our pictures are absolutely INCREDIBLE. I'm obsessed with them and she captured our day perfectly. I hope this review helps with your decision to pick your photographer, and I would HIGHLY recommend working with Moira, she is the best of the best!

I’m Kate Timako, a photographer obsessed with capturing people as they truly are—unfiltered, cinematic, and effortlessly beautiful in their own way. My background in media and cinematography taught me to see stories in every glance, every quiet moment, every burst of laughter. Whether it’s an intimate courthouse wedding, a branding session that actually feels like you, or a sun-soaked, nostalgia-drenched portrait, I make sure your photos feel like a memory, not just a pose. I’m driven by a desire to create images that tell stories and evoke a sense of nostalgia, always with an eye for the details that make each moment unique.

I can't recommend Katerina enough! She shot both my engagement and maternity photos, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. She went above and beyond to match my vision, truly taking the time to understand what I wanted. Her preparation for each session was incredible—she even helped me with outfit ideas to ensure everything came together perfectly. What really stands out about Katerina is how much she genuinely cares about her clients and the outcome of each shoot. She made me feel comfortable and at ease, spending quality time with us to capture the best moments. The results were stunning, and I’m so grateful to have such beautiful memories to look back on. If you’re looking for a photographer who is dedicated, creative, and cares deeply about her work, I highly recommend her!
