Photosynthesis occurs in the choloroplast, a organelle in the cell.

More specifically:

photosynthesis is divided into several steps. The first step/steps is the light reaction, or light-independent reaction. This happens to absorb the photons, and with it, the energy, from the sun. This part occurs in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast.

The second part is the Calvin cycle, or the dark/ light-dependent reaction. This part takes the results of the first reaction, and change that energy that was captured into glucose. This occurs in the grana of the choloroplast.
