Hey there! Kataryna here. Thanks for checking out my work. I never thought that I would have the opportunity to meet you and everyone else that I have throughout my photography journey. I started photography in high school and fell in love with all that my camera and I could do. In my college years at the University of Iowa, I was able to strengthen my photography skills by taking an internship with a wedding company. Shortly after graduation, I moved back to the Chicago suburbs and began growing my business. A few years later, and I am extremely grateful for everything I have been able to accomplish. ​

Kat Beatty Photos is one of our favorite photographers to work with! She has a beautiful editing style and is a master of the candid photo. She's professional, kind and easy to work with. We're always excited to hear when our couple book with Kat. Book her and you won't regret it!

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Michelle Zapanta Photography

  • Fine art style

  • Serves Lake Bluff, IL

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
Our family has worked with Michelle on multiple occasions, from engagement pictures to weddings. If you’re looking for a photographer for anything, then you are in the right spot. Michelle is naturally one of the most kind, generous, and funny people I have worked with in the wedding industry. Her passion for photography shines in her hard work and dedication to everything she does. One of my biggest fears going into a photoshoot was feeling awkward about how to pose, smile, and where to put my hands. I don’t know what it is about Michelle, but she makes this so fun, easy, and natural. I felt so comfortable the entire time and the pictures we received were above and beyond. I have left every session feeling like Michelle is part of our family and an amazing friend. If you have the opportunity for Michelle to bring her husband along, then you’re really in the right spot for a photographer. Michelle and her husband are an amazing team and do everything to get the perfect shot. Lastly, Michelle puts her heart into every session she does. She gets to know the space, and focal points and lighting of where she will be shooting. She shows up to the event with a plan and a vision on how she’s going to capture the day. All I can say is, you will not be disappointed when that email comes through with your completed album. 10/10 would recommend.

I'm just a suburban girl who decided to turn her dreams into a reality. I'm all about building relationships and connections. After all, that's what wedding photography is all about. I do this job every weekend because I'm one of those people that is obsessed with pictures. Not just for a living, but for myself. I understand the value in photography. I do this for people who are just like me. For the ones who cherish those photos hanging on the walls. The photos still in that purple glitter album from 2002 of you and your friends in Limited Too. Those memories are all we have from the anchors that built us. Photos are proof that we have lived

Awarded Best of Zola
Lauryn is not only a spectacular photographer, but her organization and lively personality make working with her for your wedding such a great experience. We were nervous about engagement photos as neither of us are super comfortable in front of a camera, but she made us feel at ease, knowing exactly how to guide us and make us feel natural. We are a type-A couple, so Lauryn's professional platform was another huge benefit to working with her. Lauryn's portal houses all your information, she sends regular check lists and questionnaires to ensure she has everything she needs and is extremely communicative. This made us feel so supported throughout the planning process. Lastly, on our wedding day she was such a pleasure have with us. She corralled our friends and family to get things done efficiently without sacrificing quality--allowing us to enjoy our big day to the fullest. We received a sneak peek within a few days, and the full 1,000 images in less than 2 weeks. And they were STUNNING. We couldn't stop reliving our wedding day through her photography, and we'll forever be grateful for Lauryn's talent.

With photography being my full time job, I get to put every single ounce of my being into creating magical images for you to look back on for years to come. That’s really what I’m here for. So, let’s get coffee or a drink so I can get to know you and your partner, and create magic with you both.

I have had Alena as our photographer since 2018! I had been recommended by a friend and had her for our engagement photos, wedding, the birth of our first born, his first birthday, and our second born! If that doesn’t speak for itself. Alena is incredibly talented, knowledgeable, and overall a great person, and friend. Her photos aren’t just any photos that you see. She puts time, and hardwork into her editing and it pays off. They’re moody, flirty, fun, intimate. She can do quite literally anything you ask for. No need to worry about being nervous about being in front of her camera, she knows how to pose you and talks to you the entire time. It feels like you’re hanging out with friends and it’s so so enjoyable!

Hi, I’m Teri! I’m a Chicago based Wedding Photographer. I approach my photography as an artistic craft. I strive to create images that are emotional and striking. My life’s work is photographing people’s most joyous moments—preserving feelings and details that may otherwise be lost. I am obsessed with creating playful compositions, capturing fleeting moments that make the most treasured memories come alive again. The couples I work with place immense trust in me and it is my honor to create art for them.

Teri B was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding day. Teri's communication style throughout the planning process was professional, knowledgeable and made us feel at ease every step of the way. She is the sweetest person, and her experience really shines through in your conversations with her because she knows which shots to recommend and fight for. On the big day, Teri helped guide us to capture all the right moments while making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She helped us narrow down our shot list to strike the right balance so we captured everything we wanted to, but also not make the day feel overly posed and over manufactured. The end result is nothing short of jaw-dropping. Teri managed to encapsulate all the nostalgic, heartwarming and stunning details of our wedding in a way that only she could do. The photos tell our story beautifully. We are completely in love with our photos so far and can't wait to relive our special day through Teri's artistic eye. We are still waiting on the full set, but our sneak peeks are already so amazing. It brings a tear to my eye when I look at them not only because I think fondly of my wedding day, but also because her level of artistry evokes in me a profound sense of wonder and respect for her work. If you're looking for a photographer who can capture the essence of your wedding through stunning, emotional images, I highly recommend connecting with Teri B.

Homeschoolin, Home birthin, and Holistic mama that loves to capture Life and Love in it's truest moments and forms. My business has been a decade in the making from falling in love with photography in high school, to now... My love for Milkweed and my time spent living in Iowa has inspired my business name. I used to live near a conservation center with fields of milkweed. My children and I spent many days enjoying this haven of beauty and were blessed to see thousands of Monarch butterflies migrate to the Milkweed. I realize how fleeting these moments are and would love to capture your story!

So easy to work with and professional! My labor went very quickly so photos were in the immediate postpartum. I love how each detail was captured so intimately to tell the story, so I can look back on those moments. She respected the environment and helped in any way to make sure I felt cared for-above and beyond being a photographer. We also did some newborn/family photos a few days later and she was very patient with my full of energy toddler, all while capturing the sweet details of our newborn. All of the photos are beautiful!! When I asked for a few edits to the gallery it was done and updated for me quickly.

Hi there! I’m Emma CotéEwers, your East Coast & Destination Wedding and Lifestyle Photographer! My work is a seamless blend of traditional heirloom portraiture, lively artistic shots, and a little ​photojournalism if the day calls for it. With a true-to-color, film-inspired approach, I strive to craft visuals that capture love, ​laughter, and those beautifully authentic moments that weave together the story of your ​wedding! I feel like these should include fun ​facts? Patsy Cline’s Walkin’ After Midnight is my favorite song and I am currently on my 8th ​nostalgic binge of Gilmore Girls (which might just be fueling my banter lately).

Emma is literally the kindest soul you’ll ever meet and my pictures came out so well! I’m plus size girls, so I felt very nervous about getting my pictures taken. She made me feel so confident and so loved in such a small amount of time. The photos are breathtaking and she is willing to do anything to get the perfect shot! You need her if you want the best photos!!

Hi! I'm Taylor a Georgia based Wedding photographer, mommy, and cheesecake lover. Obsessed with: Family, Naps, and good books. I’ve been keeping it real since 1997. I started my business when I was just 17 years old. Since then I have turned that small hobby into a full time career photographing beautiful couples love stories. Throughout my 8 years in business, I have been lucky enough to photograph over 200 weddings throughout Georgia and the other southern states.

As a wedding officiant, I have the pleasure of working with so many different vendors, photographers in particular, and I can honestly say that Taylor is one of the best! Working with her is always fabulous! Her professionalism, creativity, and dedication to capturing perfect moments and special details are second to none. She puts couples at ease with her easy going nature which helps them to relax around her and act naturally, in turn allowing her to capture a variety of gorgeous shots. During the ceremony itself, she blends seamlessly into the background while effortlessly capturing the essence of the heart of the ceremony. So much so that, as the officiant, I am unaware that she is even there which I think is a perfect approach for that particular part of the wedding day! Taylors work is truly beautiful and her commitment to ensuring her couples have the best possible photography experience attention to detail and commitment to excellence makes her a standout choice for any wedding or special event. I highly recommend Taylor to couples seeking not only beautiful photographs that will serve as lasting memories, but also a stress-free, authentic, personable experience on their big day.

We feel so lucky to have found Andrew as our wedding photographer. He has an incredible eye for the editorial style and makes his photos into works of art with golden light and chiaroscuro. So many photographers just rely on their high-res equipment but don't offer anything more--I don't want a macro shot of every pore or line on my face like an owl in a tree at 100 yards, I want to have a sense of magic and beauty in every photo. Andrew actually does that. I almost cried when I saw our first look photos because I don't feel very confident being photographed and I finally had dozens of photos of myself and my husband that I want to share with friends immediately and cherish forever. He delivered the first look so fast, even though I know he was busy working another wedding; I thought for sure we would have to wait longer. The wedding package we chose included very nice touches like polaroids so we had something in hand at the end of the wedding day itself, too. It was very thoughtful and left us feeling good about the whole experience right away. He was very personal and nice to work with, but not intrusive, and went with the little schedule changes we had, and was open to suggestions while we took post-ceremony photos around the city. I couldn't be happier with our experience with him and would recommend him highly to anyone looking for a real artist for their wedding photography.
