Jana Blue Photography (Photo + Film) 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,900
  • Serves Riverside, IL

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I first met Jana when she invited me to create florals for a styled shoot she was creating. When the pictures came back, I was absolutely floored. Never have I seen my work captured in such a sensitive, artful way. The attention to lighting, composition, & detail was exquisite. As I floral designer, I don't think ever felt so respected, or had my work so elevated as it was thru Jana's lens. Since that shoot, as I've gotten to know her more, I have also come to know the deep love Jana brings to her work and her clients. She captures the spirit of the moments she photographs, not just the static images. Any couple who has the honor of being photographed by Jana on their special day is blessed indeed.

We had such a great experience working with Erika for our engagement and wedding photos. My husband and I are not comfortable in front of the camera, and she made us feel very as ease. She is great at scouting for the best locations and captures the best candid shots. We highly recommend her and hope to work with her again soon!

Communication was great, photos were easy to access, and we were allowed free download for so many pictures! One family portrait had one person not looking, otherwise people were smiling and looking in everything. Many people commented on their professionalism as well as their kindness at the wedding.

I absolutely loved working with Audrey for our wedding! I had to write her a review. I found her for her beautiful photos but I'm most happy with my choice in her, for all the rest of the little things. We met with her to discuss engagement shoot and wedding photos and she was so thoughtful. She asked questions I hadn't even thought of and it was from those questions that really helped me plan the rest of the wedding day of. She gave me a photo timeline that was absolutely essential. The rest of my vendors were given her timeline and they were so thankful at her level of detail too. I appreciated the thoughtful small touches. The way she asked about any complicated family dynamics, who our chosen family was, who she should highlight etc. I appreciate that she didn't come with assumptions and asked questions, so gently. I've found that's rare in the bridal world. I would 100% recommend Audrey to anyone we know and absolutely loved our experience with her. We went with a second shooter and we loved Olivia too! They both did fantastic work and were so thoughtful and professional. Thank you for all you did for Mike and I, Audrey! We will always remember you as a the one who kept us all together!

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Zach is a talented and creative photographer, with the most calming but also can do attitude. I appreciated that Zach communicated openly about his approach and also took the time to understand our vision. My only regret is not booking him for even more hours! Zach also did our engagement shoot a few weeks before the wedding and kindly turned around our photos in a matter of days so I could post before our big day. (What a doll!) We are still receiving compliments everyday from friends and family and coworkers regarding the wedding photos. We are beyond grateful for this beautiful capture of our memories and we owe it all to Zach.

*****The best way to reach me is to fill out the inquiry form on my website!***** As a documentary-style photographer, I love to emphasize connection, texture, and authentic emotion. Being a former actor who found a deep love and passion for wedding photography, I'm most drawn to the art of storytelling while creating honest and original work. I strive to make my images fully represent my couples in every way possible. I'm goofy, fun, and always create a deep connection with my couples to ensure their big day is captured with passion + care.

We are so happy we chose to work with Madi for our wedding photos and was one of best decisions we made. We immediately liked her on the first call as she was just easy to talk to and really took an interest in learning about our story. We could tell she had amazing organization skills, and her photography was exactly what we were looking for when it came to our wedding. She was friendly and personable and provided easy communication. She was very flexible, tolerated our need to bring our dogs into both the wedding and the engagement photos, and made us comfortable during the photography process. At our wedding, she was on time, and SO on top of things that I really didn't need to worry about anything getting done. She was on it and coordinated everything so seamlessly. She not only is excellent in her photography skills, but helped so much in establishing our timeline and sorting out what was actually feasible for the day. We really appreciated her expertise. I fully trusted her in the process and knowing that definitely took stress off of us. The best part, is she is just an awesome human!! I highly recommend Madi for your wedding!!

I resonate with intimate, honest weddings, ones that present as unique and authentic, ones with tradition but they threw that tradition out the door and made their day an authentic representation of their marriage. As an artist, I am able to document weddings while incorporating my own artistic visions and yours. I love natural light, nature, and intimate moments. It is important to me for you to trust me as photography is a collaboration.

Megan is amazing. She is a true artist. I have worked with her in various spaces, one in particular that a lot of photographers struggle with because of the lighting, and Megan came back with some of the best, most beautiful, moodiest (chef's kiss) photos I have seen.

They also did a "family" engagement shoot ahead of our wedding, which was the most fun I had ever had taking photos. Could not have been a better experience all-around! We would highly recommend Roman Lorek Photography to any couple looking for a talented and dedicated wedding photography team.

I am obsessed with capturing the perfect moment that will make you gasp and say "Oh my god, this is amazing!"

Let's face it: it can be awkward being in front of a camera. Even I feel nervous sometimes! I understand that anxiety and will do everything I can to make you feel fabulous!

Kate was absolutely AMAZING! Her energy was fantastic and I felt so comfortable chatting with her and following her instructions for photos. My now fiancé could not have chosen anyone better to document such an important moment in our lives. Our photos so far are PERFECT! 1000/10 would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!
