John Foley Photographer | About

I grew up in Chicago and picked up my first camera around 13.  I also used to make short films, using my two younger brothers as actors - what I would give to find those VCR tapes!  I went to the University of Illinois, not for photography, but for Actuarial Science and Mathematics (nerd alert!).  After working in corporate America for a few years, I decided I wanted to turn my passion into my career.  And I haven’t looked back!  I’m married to my beautiful wife, Jenny, and we have two amazing daughters, Olivia & Gianna!  We currently live in Naperville, IL but before kids, we lived in Wicker Park, Chicago.  (near Big Star!!!) I truly love photographing weddings.  Capturing big life moments within a photograph and telling the story of a wedding is what drives me.  It’s my passion.  It’s my obsession.  Seriously, I may or may not have a problem.
