About

My name is Jason Kaczorowski and I am a Chicago wedding photographer that specializes in capturing connections and creating indelible experiences as unique as your love.

I believe that memories are our most treasured possessions. My superpower is capturing the most powerful moments of your life and transforming them into works of art. I carve bold, dynamic lighting to shape striking, cinematic images which overflow with emotion and will leave you in awe.

With nearly two decades of experience, I've honed my skills at adapting to any surroundings and tapping into my client's inner personalities which leads me to excel at capturing compelling, modern, soulful photojournalism and creating timeless, elegant, artistic portraiture. I carve bold, dynamic lighting to shape striking, cinematic images that overflow with authenticity, emotion and originality.

I have earned countless accolades including being awarded the honor of being named one of the World's Best Wedding Photographers though my greatest reward is forging meaningful connections with my clients.

My clients don’t rave about average experiences which is what has earned my studio hundreds of all 5/5 star reviews. I invite you to discover the types of commanding photos that I would love to create for you and reach out so we can carve time to connect.

Tell me more about you, your love and your wedding plans and I will show you how my photography will provide the power to transport you back in time and help you experience and relive all the exciting events and emotional moments from the most incredible day of your life!

WOWWWWWWW- Truly A First Class Experience

We were lucky enough to have Jason and Alex capture our engagement (Chicago 2019) and destination wedding (Mexico 2021)! They were dedicated to not only capturing amazing photos, but making sure our wedding weekend in Mexico was perfect. Jason coordinated behind the scenes with our wedding planner and was prompt to respond to communication leading up to the big day. Jason and Alex are extremely creative and work hard (army crawled through the sand!) to capture beautiful shots. We have received so many compliments on how amazing our photographer was and we will cherish these photos forever. We have not only found a lifetime photographer, but also someone we can now call a friend. Thank you, Jason Kaczorowski Photography.

Proposal 4/19

I can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience with Ryan and Jason!
Ryan recently captured one of the most special moments of our lives — our proposal. The photos are absolutely stunning. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to capture life’s special moments! - Jasmine & Sergio

Amazing Experience

From the first phone call with Jason, I knew he was the right guy for the job. I was planning a surprise proposal and he helped talk me through all the possible locations and timelines for how it would go down. He was very genuine when answering questions and helped guide me to the most efficient approach. I decided on a location that required a permit and Jason handled that process for me. After deciding when and where, I was paired with the photographer Sam.
My girlfriend had guessed the proposal was happening that day and was joking the entire ride into the city. Thankfully with the help of Sam, we were able to throw her off right before popping the question.
Sam had great direction and supported us throughout the process making sure we were comfortable the entire time. He was open to ideas as well as having great shots pre-planned out to fill the time we had him booked for.
We did the proposal plus a 60 minute portrait session. With our emotions running high, we had a great time and the 60 minutes flew by. For our location it was the perfect amount of time without feeling rushed or feeling like we didn’t get enough shots.
For anyone on the edge about booking, the quality and professionalism of Jason and Sam was beyond my expectations and I couldn't imagine going any other route.

Chicago Proposal Photography

Jason and his team are top-tier professionals. Beginning with our first call, it became obvious that Jason is passionate about helping couples capture their special moment. Leading up to my proposal, Jason communicated regularly with me with regard to planning and weather alternatives via both email and phone calls. His ideas for how to best plan the proposal (location, approach, preparation, etc.), consideration of all alternatives (locations that may be subject to crowding during peak times of year/day, weather alternatives in the event of rain, etc), professionalism with execution, and quick delivery of completed photography made Jason's team a delight to work with. Jason's website is also full of resources to help plan your event - I found it very useful as a guide to help visualize how things might turn out. Jason's team exceeded all my expectations and I highly recommend his team to everyone!

Best photographer possible for men who have no idea what the heck they're doing

Jason and Sam were so great to work with. Great with planning before hand and recommendations on the best spots. Made sure we had a backup plan in case weather day of was bad, and Jason went ahead and put in approvals ahead of time in case we needed to switch locations.

The pictures were stunning and were delivered that night. Couldn't have asked for a better experience and would recommend Jason and Sam to anyone who has no idea what they're doing in terms of proposal pictures (Your Fiance will thank you for working with Jason and Sam)

Feedback - Thank you for capturing our special day

I want to extend my deepest gratitude for the exceptional photography service provided by Jason's team, especially Ryan [photographer], during our surprise proposal. The captured moments truly reflect the professionalism and dedication of Jason's entire team.

From our first contact, I was impressed by the meticulous attention and care you provided. Jason's thorough instructions and the various proposal execution options reassured me that we were in capable hands. Jason's guidance on Ryan's approach and capturing of the special moment was invaluable and helped us visualize the unfolding of the event. Ryan's exceptional work and unwavering professionalism on the proposal day truly captured the essence of the moment, delivering stunning photos that exceeded our expectations.

Jason's proactive approach in ensuring perfection, including the thoughtful and reassuring updates on the weather forecast, showcased your genuine investment in surpassing our expectations. Jason K's generous offer to retouch all our photos as a complimentary service was also greatly appreciated. The level of care and dedication demonstrated throughout the process truly sets Jason's team apart. We are deeply grateful for the beautiful memories captured and will cherish them for years to come. Thank you, Jason, and your team, for the exceptional service provided.

The Best You Can Possibly Get

I cannot thank Jason and Alex enough for capturing our big day! My wife and I used Jason and Alex’s services for our wedding in Cleveland this weekend and they were incredible! They managed to capture every single moment of the day and discovered some beautiful spots at our photo locations that we didn’t even know existed! We are obsessed with the pics we have received already from the wedding and CANNOT WAIT to see the rest! Not only did they exceed our expectations but they are also wonderful people who we feel honored to have met! Thank you, Jason and Alex! You made our dream wedding a reality.

This is who you want to capture your special day

Jason and his assistant Alex made our wedding day memories extra special, in a way which I did not think was possible. He really captured the vibe of our big day so well, and we’ve only scratched the surface of what he’s shot (we’re really looking forward to the final delivery, but he turned around some incredible shots within hours of our event ending). He really has a great eye and is effecient with his shooting process.

He also scouted out some locations ahead of time for a sunset session with us, and those pictures turned out incredible as well.

Aside from being both easy to work with and extremely professional, Jason gave us great all-around good advice for the wedding day that was invaluable. He put us at ease quickly and that helped make our photos all the more natural—our personalities really shine through.

I even handed Jason my phone at one point to take a few photos after they had put their equipment away, and the photos he took with my phone were stunning! Way better than anything I take with the same device.

Just goes to show you it’s not the tool, it’s the artist!


We can’t recommend Jason enough—and would hire him again in a heartbeat for a future special event, wedding or otherwise. Worth every penny!

The best there is!

Jason and his team were super helpful and very informative for me. He helped me with everything I needed, from place recommendations to timings and how to execute. He honestly did more than I even expected and was very patient with me. He helped me get the perfect proposal, which was better than I expected. Not to mention, his photographer, Alex, was such a great guy and professional! I would definitely, without a doubt, recommend Jason and his team for any proposal or event. I'd say it's worth every penny.
I can't thank the entire team enough for their help and the output they gave me with the pictures. We all worked very well together and gave me step-by-step instructions on how to execute and fulfill my dreams. I'll forever keep them in my mind. If you need any help, ask Jason; he knows what and how to do everything.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
