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.

    Spectacular Addition to an Amazing Day

    Jason and Alex were amazing to work with. They worked discretely with my now fiancé to go over and plan what was needed. Jason also helped in suggestions when plans had to be altered. I also had no idea that there was a photographer around me let alone two! They made the rest of the engagement pictures fun and easy as they gave us suggestions on how to pose and how to place our hands. The pictures came out looking beautiful and they really captured the essence of joy that we had in those moments. We will treasure these pictures for years to come as we are able to look back to this special and intimate moment. Thank you guys so much for your amazing work. It was so fun to shoot with you!

    The BEST Chicago Engagement Photographer!

    Jason was phenomenal. We had a rainy day in Chicago when we visited. I was told he worked with my fiancé all day figuring out the best location for us that wouldn't be too rainy but still would have beautiful views of the city. A last minute decision on location was made and apparently Jason showed up within 30 minutes and waited for us in the rain. Fortunately, the rain stopped just in time. I was taken by complete surprise. Jason was there to make our special moment something we'll be able to remember forever. If you're looking for a surprise engagement session for you significant other I HIGHLY recommend contacting Jason to get the priceless photos you want. He captured every moment and was so kind and great to work with. We love you Jason! Great quality photos, amazing person, quick turn around, and overall an amazing experience. Thank you Jason!

    Engagement photographer

    Jason and his team were amazing! I had never been to Chicago and my now fiancé has always wanted to ice skate in Chicago. Given that i had never been there i had no idea of any special locations, time of day or even time of year for my engagement proposal. Once i had set off early December, Jason lead me down the right path and everything was flawless. Not only did he give me suggestions but he spent valuable one-on-one time with me over the phone, made detailed suggestions, sent photos of previous engagements, kept up with weather reporting, created a backup plan and even suggested the perfect restaurant and photo location. My fiancé and I could not be happier with Jason and his team!

    I highly recommend jason

    I met Jason 30 mins before I proposed to my girlfriend. We got to chatting and without me even asking, he volunteered his time to snap a few high quality pictures of us to capture the moment. Jason is such a great guy and his work speaks for itself. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone looking for a personable and professional photographer.

    Jason and Sami were great!`

    I reached out to Jason about setting up photography for a surprise proposal, and from our first call, Jason was very responsive and helpful in every step of the process from choosing the best location to figuring out a date and time. On the day of, our photographer, Sami, was extremely responsive, keeping me updated on her location and even ensuring the spot we chose was ready to go when we got there. The photos were so fantastic that we used them to surprise our families with the news. Absolutely would recommend to anyone looking for proposal/engagement/wedding photography!

    Smooth Communication & Talented Photographers

    My fiancé hired jason & team to help capture our surprise proposal and I couldn’t be happier with how the photos came out. They made sure to capture every second of the proposal (including the beautiful skyline) and the candid shots came out better than I could imagine. We were eager to get the photos the same day and they were super responsive and got us the entire album to us that same evening. I highly recommend!

    exceptional service

    Jason and his colleague Alex do an amazing job at capturing the most important moments of your life. Alex and Jason to just finished photographing my proposal and every step of the way they were incredibly helpful, supportive, and professional. Jason helped with everything from planning the proposal approach (i went with the "coached" approach and would definitely recommend it), to calling and leaving messages at other venues when it looked like the weather might not be in my favor. The session itself was fun and natural, and most importantly, the final photos were incredible! I would gladly work with Jason and Alex again and would recommend them to anyone!

    Vacation surprise proposal

    Jason and Sami were very professional and extremely helpful in assisting an out-of-towner trying to plan a surprise proposal. I was blown away by Jason's portfolio and the professional look of his website, and after speaking with Jason on the phone, I knew I had to book him. Extremely happy with our pictures and experience!

    Overall Amazing Experience

    Everything I could have asked for and more! Jason and his team helped me plan the perfect proposal for my girlfriend. As someone from Atlanta, I had no idea where it should happen in Chicago. Jason's team helped find the perfect location and even sent the best stick figure drawing blue print so I knew exactly where to stand. On top of that, the photos are amazing. My now fiancée and I couldn't be happier!

    Great Experience with Jason!

    I contacted Jason to shoot my proposal and it was 100% a fantastic decision. He's very communicative and worked incredibly hard during the planning phase to make sure the vision I had for the proposal would be met and captured. Jason has extensive knowledge on all of the best locations for engagement/proposal shoots in Chicago and always offered his advice in a respectful and professional way.

    The proposal shoot itself was great and we have amazing photos as a result all thanks to Jason's hard work and dedication to capturing a moment in the best way possible. He also provided the photos, fully edited, back to us that same night - it was amazing!

    Jason's work and professionalism is unmatched and I'm very grateful to have worked with him! You cannot go wrong with Jason, I highly recommend him!

    Great Experience and Photos!

    Jason and Alex did an absolutely fantastic job of photographing my proposal. They were both great with their communication and tailoring the experience to exactly what I was looking for. I am from outside the Chicago area so I was going in completely blind as far as good locations, times, etc. They were able to work with me and give me some good recommendations to make the experience perfect and overall the photos turned out fantastic! I would highly recommend for whatever event you're looking to have photographed.

    Best Photographer I have worked with!! 10/10 Would Recommend

    I worked with Jason to photograph my Proposal and I honestly cannot recommend them enough. They worked with me on every aspect of the proposal and even offered some great options for how to do it and to keep it a surprise for my Fiancée. During the proposal itself, they even took a video on my phone and were able to capture the moment itself amazingly well. The photos turned out great and for anyone looking for a photographer for any special moments in their life, I would go with Jason 1000%!

Jason Kaczorowski
Principal Photographer

I am a memory purveyor. I’m an experience creator. I am a beacon of good vibes. I believe that “one day” is today. I am the air-conditioning in August. I believe laughter is worth searching for. I love surprises but can’t keep them a secret. I believe that quality is more important than quantity. I believe memories are our most treasured possessions. I believe that sunrise and sunset are worth planning around. My needle never moves from “this is going to be the best day ever!”

My photography is focused on moments within relationships. When friendships and families come together, there’s nothing more powerful I could ever show you than photos of those you love and those who love you the most.

Alex
Alex
Associate Photographer

Alex celebrates his 8th year photographing for Jason Kaczorowski Photography in 2023. He began photographing as an Assistant Second Photographer and earned his place on the team as a full-time Associate Photographer in 2017. Alex has captured over 140 weddings with Jason during the past 8 years in addition to dozens of proposals, engagement sessions, weddings and events as an Associate Photographer for Jason Kaczorowski Photography.

Alex is half ninja and half cat. He possesses the reflexes of a cat and the mental focus of a ninja. Though it’s true that Alex can be seen most of the time dressed in all black, much like a ninja, fortunately he does not randomly push things off of counters and he won’t chew your charging cables like my cat.

Alex has the ability to document an entire event without ever seeming intrusive yet is always personable and hands-on throughout the day.

Alex’s portraits are better than many photographs you might find in your favorite magazines. He is a master of capturing candid, natural light moments and using off-camera lighting to create our signature style of dynamic portraiture.

When Alex is not photographing weddings as an Associate Photographer he is making our couples laugh while assisting with lighting during their engagement session. In addition, Alex is trusted to capture proposals, portrait sessions, weddings and events for Jason Kaczorowski Photography when Jason is photographing another client.
