Roman Lorek Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Wilmington, IL

I am a bilingual (Polish, English) Chicago & NWI based wedding photographer who enjoys traveling and music. I like to take a documentary approach to photography. Keeping posing to a minimum and capturing natural moments of your big day. I am a perfect photographer for a couple that believes the natural moments mean more than posed photographs.

Roman Lorek Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, they were great communicators - open, honest, and responsive to all of our questions and requests. Their work is truly high quality, with an artistic and beautiful style that captured all the special moments of our day. They went above and beyond, making thoughtful suggestions and recommendations that helped make our wedding day even more perfect. Roman and Anastasia were friendly, professional, and made the entire photography experience easy and stress-free. 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.

We could not have been happier with the services and product we received! We picked Nora as our photographer as it seemed like she was great at using natural lighting and did a good job with capturing photos that weren’t posed. We were not disappointed! Nora made the process as easy as humanly possible and very comfortable. She was able to read us easily and could tell when the group was getting restless and even could tell if I wanted certain photos without me saying. Nora was the only photographer but managed to capture all the photos we could have hoped for. The ceremony photos were beautiful but the reception photos perfectly captured the night. The quality of the photos when we got them was spectacular. Additionally, the entirety of the photos were sent to us within just over 4 weeks despite the fact that they had 8 weeks. Lastly, we booked the DJ through essence as well (spinning’ discs) and Nora and the dj worked together great which made it that much easier. If you’re considering essence, do it - you will not regret!

As a young couple getting married, it was scary to trust a company to provide everything we needed, but we felt very confident when we talked with Steve. The communication with Steve was great and smooth! They offered a Photographer, Videographer, DJ, and Photo booth! Ron, Austin, and DeAndre were the dream team.

Hello, Lovelies! Sheena here! I’m a Chicago Wedding & Engagement photographer located in Lockport, IL. I start from your wedding day, and I’m there to help with your timeline, set up our friendship, and so excitedly I have been with families from the wedding to the birth of their children, and one day on to their senior photos. Let’s capture your life as it grows and blossoms! Let’s work together to make some of your most beautiful moments your most precious memories.

Awarded Best of Zola
Sheena This was undoubtedly a match made in heaven. The moment one of the clients at the shop overheard my conversation with another client about how stressed I was about not being able to find a photographer for my upcoming last-minute wedding, I almost lost hope of ever finding a photographer until she suggested I look up Sheena Pinkerman. Before I contacted her, I first and foremost looked up her profile page and checked out her work to see if she would be someone that fits in with my personality and creativity. Well, lo and behold, I fell in love with her work the moment I saw it, and this was before I even spoke to her over the phone. When I finally did talk to her over the phone, she made me feel like I'd known her for years. Sheena was very communicative, informative, and understanding from the start, even when I was still unsure of what I wanted. She was extremely helpful and easily accessible when it came to addressing my numerous questions and concerns. She's essentially an all-in-one package, offering the perfect combination of creativity, skills, and expertise. Furthermore, she works with another photographer, Andrea, providing the added benefit of two photographers for the price of one. If you also book Lawrence for your videography, that's an additional bonus, as these three professionals work together seamlessly. They were so impressive that I'd consider having another wedding just to work with them again. I love Sheena and I know you won’t be disappointed if you book her for your wedding.

Michelle Zapanta Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,800
  • Serves Wilmington, 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
Working with Michelle was the best choice my wife and I made during our wedding preparations. Her photos are stunning. True professionalism, skill, and a keen eye for capturing those happy moments. But best of all, she has a warm personality which made working with her feel easy. She was able to photograph our Indian wedding with such class, that these memories will remain with us forever.

Hello there! My name is Alana. I am a wedding photographer based in the Chicagoland area who ranges from lovely backyard weddings in the suburbs, to swanky celebrations in the city, to flying off to stunning elopements around the world.

Awarded Best of Zola
I can't even begin to describe how absolutely amazing and wonderful our experience was with Moira! When we first contacted Moira she called us to go over our questions, and her services, it was so nice to be able to have a conversation about what we wanted and what she would provide! In the time leading up to our engagement shoot, I had changed my mind on location multiple times and Moira was extremely understanding and helped my vision come to life! We took our engagement pictures at the public library where I met my (now) husband and even took some pictures in the rain at our favorite park! Moira worked thru the downpour and got some AMAZING shots! Leading up to our wedding we met with Moira to go over timeline and she helped to make sure we would have enough time allocated for everything we wanted. On our wedding day Moira was punctual and extremely amazing to work with! We had to move some things around timeline wise and it all worked out beautifully. Our pictures are absolutely INCREDIBLE. I'm obsessed with them and she captured our day perfectly. I hope this review helps with your decision to pick your photographer, and I would HIGHLY recommend working with Moira, she is the best of the best!

​Erica Melissa is a seasoned wedding and destination photographer based in both Miami and Chicago, with over a decade of experience capturing love stories across the U.S. and internationally. Her work is characterized by an artistic, documentary-style approach, focusing on authentic moments and emotional storytelling.​

Absolutely blown away by our experience with Erica as our wedding photographer! From our very first conversation, everything felt so personalized—she really took the time to understand what we wanted and made sure every detail reflected us as a couple. What stood out the most was how incredibly thoughtful and attentive she was. Erica made sure I felt completely comfortable in front of the camera (not an easy task!) and extended that same warmth and ease to every single person in our wedding party. She has a way of making people relax and have fun, which truly shows in the photos. The entire day felt special, not just because it was our wedding, but because Erica helped make it memorable in every way. The moments she captured are more than just beautiful images—they’re full of life, emotion, and joy. If you want someone who truly cares, listens, and brings a calming, positive energy to your big day, Erica is the one. I can’t recommend her enough! Five stars doesn’t feel like quite enough.

From the moment we connected with this amazing duo, we knew it was meant to be. Nicole and Michael showed us the perfect amount of professionalism mixed with the ability to be our friends (even though we did not know each other at all), which made all the difference. We felt extremely comfortable with them during all of the steps leading up to the wedding, which in turn, made our actual wedding day that much more enjoyable. They knew we had a "vision" for our big day that we did not want to compromise, and they lived up to it in ways we could not imagine. It's almost been a year since we said "til death do us part" and we are STILL getting compliments on all of the pictures and the video! I can say that we will be forever grateful to have such an amazing day captured by the best there is.

Hey love, I’m Kara - your Nikon-loving, sunset-obsessed photographer and wedding cheerleader! When my sister got engaged in 2010 and I invested in my first camera, I started to experience the joy of documenting love stories as I photographed her engagement session - my very first session. From there, things grew quickly and now my husband and I photograph 20+ weddings a year together! When I’m not photographing weddings throughout Chicagoland, you can find me snuggling our puppies Georgie + Jett, lovin’ on my family, spoiling the littles in our life as Auntie Kara, gardening in our backyard, and exploring breweries with my husband Kyle.

Kara is one of our favorite photographers to work with, and we have nothing but great things to say about her work!
