Emily Z. Photography for all your photography needs.

With cellphone cameras and Instagram filters, it seems like everyone’s a photographer these days. But it’s important to hire a pro for your big day. For any you’re considering, go through their website, get feedback given by past clients and make sure they are comfortable photographing same-sex weddings. (See our directory for trusted options in the NYC area.)
Here are some things to consider when planning for the big day:
- Go down the Pinterest rabbit hole. Find wedding pics you love and see if the artist behind your favorite images is available. Save faves to show your photographer.
- Pick a style: Do you want primarily black-and-white? High glamour? Documentary-style ? Traditional? Work with your partner to identify your expectations.
- Reach out to friends and family for recommendations on social media. A call for recommendations in your feed could get you options in a matter of minutes.
- Meet the candidates and see how you connect. Ask about portfolios and see what kind of storytellers they are. Don’t hesitate to ask for references.

- Consider booking your top choice for engagement photos, to really get a feel for their personality, philosophy and work ethic.
- Once you’ve settled on a photographer, make sure to get your agreement in writing via contract. Also: see if there’s liability insurance and read the fine print on cancellations.

Critically and audience acclaimed The Chi on Showtime is now streaming its fourth season. The show takes place on Chicago’s south side and in this tough neighborhood, real dangers threaten daily to squelch dreams, and the simplest decisions can have life or death consequences. The Chi is a timely coming-of-age drama series centered on a group of residents who become linked by coincidence but bonded by the need for connection and redemption. One of the standout stars is Jasmine Davis.
Not only an actor, but Jasmine is also a musician, model, and CEO of Saint J’s clothing and lifestyle brand. Jasmine’s private life was put in the spotlight after she came out, during COVID, as trans as her character, Imani, was also revealed to be a trans woman. Coming out during the isolation of COVID and dealing with social media hate, Jasmine slipped into a mental breakdown from which she reemerged stronger than ever.
We sat down with Jasmine for a VERY candid chat about her coming out, growing up in the streets of Chicago, the reality of mental health, the bigotry that remains in minority groups, the reality of inclusivity in the LGBTQ community, the pressures of being a spokesperson for the black and LGBTQ communities, the roles being offered to trans actors, body positivity, her battle with dyslexia, her new music – offering a very real opinion on life, and loving yourself first…hosted by Alexander Rodriguez.
