Photographers near Des Plaines

“Kenny Kim was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. He actually did my sister’s wedding a few years back and I loved him and his work! As soon as I was engaged, he was the first vendor I reached out to.

He is incredibly kind, easy to be around, and genuinely takes the time to get to know everyone. He learned our guests’ names, remembered who was related to who, and made people feel comfortable in front of the camera without ever forcing anything.

The photos are beautiful. He captured a perfect mix of clean, timeless portraits and candid moments that actually feel like us. We received hundreds of highlight images within 48 hours, and the full gallery of over 2,000 photos just 12 days later, which was amazing.

We’re so grateful for the way Kenny documented our day, and we’ll treasure these photos for a long time. I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer who is talented, professional, and genuinely good to work with. And his prices are extremely reasonable for his experience and caliber/level of skill.“

“So fun to take photos in a casual way that looks so nice! Thank you for an amazing experience!“

“I’ve owned a video production company for 9 years, done a ton of events and worked with many photographers. Ashley and I worked a corporate event together in Chicago and was amazing to work with, extremely professional, and exactly the type of person you want capturing your most important events. Would highly recommend working with her.“

“We had a destination wedding to Schaumburg, IL for our Medieval Ren Fair themed wedding. Our photographer Conrad with Something Blue Photography knocked it out of the park! He made us feel so special and he was so enthusiastic about our themed wedding. The quality of the photos is wonderful. He really captured our personalities and I will cherish these memories forever. Their email communications before the wedding during planning, and after, were so helpful and professional! I would highly recommend picking Something Blue for your wedding photographers!“

“Nicole Jones did THE most wonderful job photographing my wedding ceremony and portrait photos. She was so professional, knowledgeable and prepared. She met with me beforehand, scouted the location, checked the lighting, and kept things running smoothly while having to photograph over 20 people day of. She knew how to help with positioning while still making all of the pictures authentic and even candid. My pictures were perfect beyond my wildest dreams and I can’t believe how lucky we are to have someone so talented right here on the North Shore. I can’t wait to have Nicole Jones take all of my future family photos and am so grateful to her everyday I get to look at these beautiful pictures that captured the essence of everyone’s love and happiness. Thank you SO much Nicole we are forever lucky we met you!“

“I worked with Yuriy from
Three Nine Media , and he did an amazing job. The photos were high-quality, well-lit, and captured the property perfectly. Fast delivery, great communication, and overall a smooth experience. Highly recommend!“

“We chose Jolie Images for our Wedding Day and we couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome. Max was our photographer and he absolutely killed it!! He made our day fun and exciting! He helped us out tremendously with getting ready and making sure we had a good time. Such an amazing photographer and experience working with him.“

“IG Photo Video Inc. was absolutely amazing! The entire process was seamless, and their communication was outstanding. Any questions or concerns we had before the wedding were promptly addressed by Ivan, which gave us peace of mind. We had the opportunity to discuss our vision with our videographer, Niko, a few weeks before the big day, and he was phenomenal. While it may have been just another day at the office for them, Niko truly captured the magic and essence of our special day.

I highly recommend IG Photo Video Inc. and honestly regret not hiring them for photography as well. If you’re looking for top-notch video or photo services, look no further—this company is the one to call! We couldn’t be happier with our final videos and will cherish them forever.“

“I recently did my maternity photoshoot with Alina. Thank you Alina for such a incredible experience!!! I was quite nervous but the comfort and the atmosphere that she gave made me enjoy every captured moment ? I was very much impressed with the final edited pictures, beyond what I had imagined. I strongly recommend Alina to those who want pictures of themselves that really reflect their best side??“

“They hit it out of the park again! I will always stick to what works and when I say they work I mean it! Gerardo is amazing at what he does he truly loves what he does and he is amazing at it! Thank you Edward Fox photography for another incredible evening!“

“Randy is simply the best!! He was so easy to work with from beginning to end and gave us great ideas when we weren't quite sure how to pose. On the day of our wedding, I actually got stuck in the elevator with Randy and his team on the way to my first look with my husband! They made sure I didn't freak out (too much) and still made sure we got all of our pictures we wanted. It was even chilly during our photos and Randy let me borrow his jacket between shots so l wouldn't get too cold! We are so happy with how our pictures came out and are happy to have them forever“

“Peter was exceptional. The photos were taken quickly and he was able to truly capture our amazing wedding in wonderful detail. We also received access to our digital copies within days to relive the moment in bliss (it goes by fast).“

“Dennis’ work is simply amazing! Hands down a great photographer who truly takes pride in his work. I've hired him a couple times a month for the last 2 years to document private healthcare office build-outs and recommend him to any business owner, architect, or builder wanting to their work to stand out. As much as I hesitate to share a good secret, this one is too good to keep to myself. Hire Dennis Jourdan Photo & Video. You'll be so glad you did.“

“Jan was so fun to work with! She was great at getting smiles out of our young kids, and got some really lovely pictures of our whole family!“

“I made an appointment with Maggie at MWD Photography because the photo taken by Walgreens for my passport looked like a mugshot. Maggie was amazing! She adjusted my hair as necessary and the photo came out Perfect! I highly recommend MWD photography for any of your photography needs! A++++“

“We hired Saud and his team for our wedding and they are extremely professional. They were punctual and reliable. They knew exactly what shots to take to capture every moment perfectly. I felt comfortable following Saud's direction and am grateful for every picture. The aspect that blows everyone out of the water is how quick of a turnaround we had received the photos, video and highlight video. Within a week, we were able to enjoy all three digitally. I've watched and looked through all of photos and videos multiple times out of pure happiness and satisfaction with the product. You will not regret working with High Dynamics.“

“Big thanks to the photo studio for doing an excellent job with my PASSPORT PHOTOS! I appreciate the attention to detail and the great quality.Highly recommended!By the way, I’d recommend skipping Walgreens for passport photos – had a bad experience there. This studio, on the other hand, did an amazing job. Save yourself the trouble and come here instead!“

“I was in town for a wedding and went to Summer for a refresh on my highlights. She was super sweet, did a great job on blending the blonde with my natural. I love the end result! Got so many compliments too.“

“A family photo shoot for 15 people, ranging in age from 10 weeks to 91, is no mere feat, and yet Nicole took it all in stride. Our family did a shoot in the studio and were very impressed with the quality of the backdrop, lighting, cameras, etc. Expect a highly professional shoot. Nicole made a point to use our names when giving directions and boosted our morale along the way. It was important for us to capture our four generations and I am so grateful we found Nicole Thomas Photography and cannot recommend it enough!“

“He was excellent. Our videos and photos are amazing. I strongly recommend to work with him for your celebrations“

“I had made a table that I was very proud of and wanted to sell. I have a camera, doesn't everyone, but knew I wanted a better picture than I could take. I went to Merkle's Photography and couldn't be happier. The pictures were beyond professional. They were personal. I felt he captured what I was trying to express. I recommend Merkle's Photography to anyone who is looking for the perfect pictures.“

“Jimmy was very patient with me and the kids our engagement photos turned out perfect!!!!“

“Jeff took great care throughout the photo shoot to create a professional and comfortable experience. He was easy to contact throughout the process- from setting up the initial appointment to the delivery of the final product . Wonderful pictures! I highly recommend Jeff Cohen Photography“
