Zach Caddy Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Addison, IL

A cinematic eye. --- A bleeding heart. --- An inclusive spirit. --- 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 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. 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!

Zach Caddy Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From our first interaction, Zach and was incredibly timely, thoughtful, and easygoing - they made the whole process feel effortless. Their moody, classic documentary style captured all the special moments of our big day in a beautiful way. With over 300 guests and a 24-person wedding party, Zach and his team navigated the crowd seamlessly, keeping things fun and inclusive throughout. We are thrilled with the final photos and couldn't have asked for a better photography experience. Highly recommend Zach Caddy Photography for your wedding day!

Mackenzie Maeder // Photo + Video

  • Serves Addison, IL

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!!

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Mackenzie to shoot our engagement photos and wedding back in 2019 and it was one of the best decisions we made! Not only is she amazingly talented, but she made my husband and I feel so comfortable. We honestly had so much fun shooting with her. I definitely plan on using Mackenzie again in future for family sessions, etc.

I captured my first wedding in August of 2018, it was the day I fell head over heels in love with wedding photography. It's all about capturing the love story for me..the feels from beginning to end. When you book with AGS, you're signing on for an adventure. Your engagement session is a celebration full of us getting to know one another, lots of laughter, and having fun! As your wedding nears closer AGS will help with your timeline, connect with your vendors ( or introduce you to some of the best) and help plan out the perfect photo locations, along with any other needs to create the perfect day.

Arleigh and her team are beyond amazing! It’s as if your best friend is behind the camera and helping you every moment. Arleigh and Jordan went so far and above what I could have ever imagined. They jumped in with whatever last minute things needed assistance and made my family feel so at ease. Their love for what they do and ease with everyone comes through without a doubt. I didn’t expect to find such an amazing person to capture all the little moments in our lives, but I not only found that, but someone I plan to keep as friend as well!

  • Serves Addison, IL

Hej, I’m Anders, originally from Denmark, I made the move to the United States in 2019 to marry my wonderful wife, Kristin. Photography has always been a passion of mine, and I've coupled that with my love for adventure. Whether it's traveling the world, scuba diving, hiking, or ultra running, I've always found ways to incorporate photography into these experiences. However, everything changed for me when I shot my first wedding. Being part of such a special day, filled with love and magic, made me realize that this is what I truly want to do.

Awarded Best of Zola
When looking for a photographer to shoot my wedding, I was looking for someone who would be creative, edit to bring out natural beauty instead of photo-shopping everything into something unreal, and who would be able to capture raw, in the moment interactions between people. I had some pretty high standards and Anders met every single one of them as well as going above and beyond! He is professional, yet very personable and truly is so genuinely happy to be taking pictures for you! There were many unplanned changes due to the pandemic and Anders was very flexible and gracious with each one! Even the day of, there were unexpected twists and turns with it being an outdoor wedding and he just went with the flow capturing it all - the planned and the unplanned! For me, it was a whirlwind and I already wish I could go back to relive it all in slow motion. I'm SO thankful for and happy with the absolutely beautiful pictures Anders captured of my wedding and the people there. Now I can remember my special day and look back at all the moments that flew by for me, for as long as I want! You simply can't go wrong with Anders as your photographer.

Cling & Peck

We’re Cling & Peck, a trio of humans who are hooked on creating photos and videos that are going to last decades and generations. These photos and videos aren’t for mass consumption; they’re going to be loved by different handfuls of humans for years to to come. We love that.

Awarded Best of Zola
Cling and Peck made our wedding day feel like a beautiful adventure. We got married at a forest preserve in the middle of nowhere and they had scouted out several great spots for photos beforehand so that we didn't have to waste time looking around. They also listened to what we were looking for as far as style, specific photos, etc. and delivered exactly what we wanted, and more! Their artistic eye and perfect setup of shots gave the photos the perfect woodland fairytale wedding vibes. Group shots were well directed and easy to manage, unlike many family photo attempts I had experienced in the past. They also ingratiated themselves easily with the wedding guests so that their photos/videos during the reception were barely noticed. They just seemed like another person having fun on the dance floor capturing the whole thing. Would definitely recommend them for all aspects of their wedding photography.

Shooting weddings is what brings me the most fulfillment and joy. It is pretty amazing when your passion can become your career. I understand the importance of capturing the authenticity and uniqueness of your love. The most rewarding aspect of my work is seeing the joy, sacrifice, beauty and love in marriage. I will help you every step of the way to feel comfortable and confident, but I want to get all of the unplanned moments as well! If you think we're a fit, say hey!

Rachel was referred to us by our married friends who also shot with her. We're more than thrilled we went with her! I'm not exaggerating when I say that I think her work is the best I've seen. I saw some of previous work in her portfolio and thought to myself, "wow, that's incredible, but I don't think we have the means to so something that spectacular around here." I was totally wrong. Rachel is able to transform nearby locations into magical and breathtaking backdrops. She was able to make these special memories appear like they were taken out of a movie. We will look back on these beautiful pictures for the rest of out live. They turned out even better than what we imagined, and we couldn't be happier. Thank you Rachel!

Hi there! I’m the Jill in JTP. I started this company back in 2010 and have since expanded the team to include other amazing creatives. Working with people, telling stories, and documenting moments are the things I'm most passionate about in my work. Outside of photography – I love to travel and try anything new. I'm at peace in the mountains, or anywhere with a breeze on my face. But I also love sitting on the couch sandwiched between my husband, dog, and two cats.

I HIGHLY recommend partnering with Jill to capture your engagement photos and wedding day. Jill and her team know how to authentically capture the joy and magic of these major life events with artistic, sentimental flare. She is a true professional, who made us feel heard and prioritized when working together. On our wedding day, she and Kyle effortlessly led our family and wedding parties through the formal portraits, while maintaining a warm, calm demeanor. And the photos speak for themselves. These shots will be cherished and loved in our family for decades to come, and we cannot thank Jill enough for beautifully capturing these special, magical moments in our relationship.

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.

Hey future brides and grooms! I truly love weddings. I love the insane amount of beautiful in-between moments that inevitably happen and I get to capture in a stealthy way that makes me feel like a spy, but also the moments that I get to help create! Posing in a way that creates movement and memories and doesn't just end up being a part of your to-do list but a favorite part of the day! I adore laughs between kisses, the golden glow at sunset, a bride twirling or frolicking (bonus if there's a forest!) and forehead kisses. I love when you're willing to laugh, have fun, and be completely swept up in what is a beautiful but incredibly fast day!

Working with Kayla Brooke is always an absolute joy! She has an incredible eye for detail and a natural ability to capture the most beautiful, candid moments. From the moment we start working together on a wedding day, Kayla's calm and positive energy creates such a relaxed atmosphere for everyone, which is so important in a fast-paced setting. As a hair and makeup artist, I really appreciate how she works seamlessly with the entire team to ensure everything flows smoothly. The couples always end up with the most gorgeous photos that perfectly reflect their special day. Highly recommend Kayla for anyone looking for not only stunning images but also an amazing experience!

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 name is Becka! I am extremely passionate about photography and I love what I do! I work with my husband, Daniel, who offers videography. We are obsessed with our two cats, Josie and Daphne. We love going to concerts, hiking, and checking out new movies!

Becka was truly awesome as our wedding photographer! Her photos are of amazing quality and perfectly capture both my and my husband’s personalities. She was always open to our ideas, like incorporating a wand fight and a special lift we do in every milestone photo. We absolutely loved our engagement session with her, where we had the chance to meet, discuss our vibe, and take beautiful photos that we proudly shared on social media and used throughout our wedding planning process (like on our wedding website and save the dates). On our wedding day, Becka and her assistant worked seamlessly together. There were moments when I started to feel overwhelmed, but Becka handled everything very professionally, ensuring that I could enjoy the day while still getting all the photos I wanted. We were amazed at how many stunning photos we got in such a short amount of time, and I genuinely love every single one of them. I’m incredibly grateful for her talent and dedication in capturing our wedding day, as these are the memories we’ll cherish forever. I would 100% recommend Becka to other couples and will definitely return to her for all our photography needs!
