Lexi and Tim are hands down one of the sweetest couples I have been lucky enough to work with. They’re not only sweet to each other, but they’re kind to me, their family, their friends… and even strangers (as Tim was sure not to disrupt Chicago pedestrian traffic during the Engagement Session). Their wedding was […]

A lot of my clients ask for suggestions on where to shoot Engagement Photos, so I figured I’d put a little post together with my suggestions for you! These locations can also be applied for Wedding Day Portraits as well! I always like to encourage couples to think of a place that has some sentimental value […]

Chicago Wedding Portraits Location Suggestions | Chicago Engagement Photos Location Ideas | Outdoor Engagement Sessions

I’m backpacking through Europe in less than a month (whoa!)… and of course I’m super excited about the incredible, once in a lifetime photos I’m going to be taking every step of the way. But, I was a little concerned about carrying my Canon 5D Mark iii everywhere with me since we’re going to be walking […]

Testing Out a New Camera & Exploring Chinatown Chicago

Chinatown Chicago | Jill Tiongco Photography

This year, I’ve chosen to focus my business on weddings, engagements, and events. But, when it comes to my future niece, Adrianna… I just had to make an exception and photograph my brother and sister-in-law’s maternity photos. I’ll admit, I was a little out of my comfort zone stepping away from engagement and wedding portrait photography… but […]

A Personal Post for my future baby niece!

Jake + Toni's Maternity Session

I’m not really sure where to start on this one. Liza, you’re literally stunning. You’re beautiful both inside and out… you were such a pleasure to work with… so laid back… so trusting of what I do… just amazing. And Mike, to get a girl as incredible as Liza… you better believe you’re every bit […]

Liza + Mike’s Elmhurst Wedding | Pinstripes Wedding Reception in Oakbrook

Pinstripes Wedding Reception | Chicago Wedding Photographer | Jill Tiongco Photography

Today I booked my fifth wedding for 2015. While that may not seem like a lot to some, and I’m sure other photographers have many more booked than me at this point… it’s a big deal to me. I look back at my records from last year, and at this point in 2013… I had […]

Moment of the Month | Realizing My Dream is Coming True.

Johanna + Jeff… ohhhhh, how I adored these two on their wedding day. They were goofy in love, killer in front of the camera, and good sports about the cold (which I’m sure they booked their wedding in May being pretty sure it was going to be warm by now… what’s going on, Chicago?!?!). But, […]

Last week I stepped away from the wedding photography bubble that I love so much and did a few mouth-watering shoots for The Tasting Panel Magazine. While I specialize in Wedding Photography, photographing gourmet food, craft cocktails, and pretty-pretty details are a close second… and even overlap a bit into my wedding world. So when […]

Jackie + Mark have been part of the JTPhoto family since their beautiful fall Engagement Session back in October of 2012.  Their May 2013 Wedding was every bit of gorgeous and one of the biggest parties of the year! So it only made sense that we follow up one year later to celebrate their 1-year anniversary. […]
