About ES photography

ES photography

Timeless Moments, Perfectly Captured

Hi, I’m Kate (Ekaterina), a Chicago-based photographer with a love for storytelling. Years ago, I made the brave move to the USA on my own, sparking my adventurous spirit. I adore traveling, hiking, and find endless inspiration in the peaceful beauty of Washington and Oregon. I’m drawn to simple joys—minimalist design, nature, and heartfelt moments between people. My passion is capturing love stories in a way that feels authentic and timeless. From big laughs to quiet glances, I focus on the connection that makes your story unique. Let’s create beautiful, meaningful photos you’ll cherish forever!

Highlight Video: I create a complimentary 1-minute video to share your special moments beautifully. Quick Turnaround: Get stunning, edited photos in 24 hours. Artistic Vision: Timeless, natural, creative shots.

    From the moment we booked ES Photography for our wedding, we knew we were in good hands. Her communication was consistently professional and responsive, and She was determined to understand our vision and preferences. The quality and creativity of their work exceeded our expectations - She was attentive to every detail and captured beautiful, natural moments that we will cherish forever. Ekaterina made us feel completely relaxed throughout the session and her skilled eye ensured we have stunning photos that perfectly encapsulate the joy and beauty of our special day.

    Ekaterina was a videographer on my wedding and she did a great job with recording the highlights of the ceremony and reception. She was very professional, was on time and delivered videos conveniently on the flash drive after the event, so I don’t need to store / download a large amount of files on my computer. She delivered a mini-movie with small moments to rewatch and remember the special day and videos of the most memorable things like the first dance which we practiced for a long time with my husband, so I was really eager to have this saved to be rewatched many years to come. Ekaterina has a great eye for composition and colors, very friendly and professional. I highly recommend her services!

    Ekaterina exceeded all our expectations as our wedding photographer! From the first consultation to the final gallery, she was professional, kind, and incredibly talented. She has an eye for capturing the most meaningful moments, and her photos are a perfect blend of artistic and timeless. We felt completely at ease with her, and the results were stunning—photos we’ll treasure forever. If you want a photographer who goes above and beyond, we couldn’t recommend Ekaterina more!
