Sarah Oberheim Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,350
  • Serves Beckemeyer, IL

I’m so glad you’re here! I have 14 years of experience capturing special memories. Being part of such important moments in people’s lives is an honor I never take for granted. Most couples aren’t totally comfortable being photographed. And that’s okay! I use interactive posing and natural prompts to help you laugh, relax, and feel like yourselves. I’ll guide you every step of the way with cues that encourage real smiles and authentic connection. I’m here to make the entire process as stress-free as possible. From helping you plan your timeline to offering vendor recommendations, I’ll be with you every step of the way!

We cannot recommend Sarah enough! From start to finish, she was absolutely incredible. First of all, she made us feel like models throughout the entire day. We were blown away by how she captured our most candid, romantic moments with such artistry. Even though we were both a little nervous in front of the camera, she had an amazing ability to make us feel comfortable and confident. But here's the real magic: the weather wasn’t exactly on our side. The day was hot, humid, and rainy—but Sarah was a true trooper. Not only did she continue working in the rain without skipping a beat, but she turned what could’ve been a disaster into an unforgettable moment. She even caught the most stunning rainbow right after the storm passed, and the portrait she took of us under it was absolutely breathtaking. It’s the kind of shot you’ll cherish forever! We are so grateful for Sarah's patience, positivity, and talent. Every time we look at our photos, we're reminded of how lucky we were to have them as part of our special day. If you're looking for a photographer who can go above and beyond while making you look like you just stepped out of a magazine, look no further than Sarah Oberheim! Truly a photographer who knows how to capture both the big moments and the little, magical details. Thank you for making our wedding day so unforgettable!

  • Serves Beckemeyer, IL

I know it is the most incredible experience having everyone you love together in one place to celebrate you. Aside from the births of my babies, my wedding was the best day ever. But being a mom has made me appreciate photography the most — I know how fleeting time is and how important it is to have printed memories of those you love dearly. Tomorrow isn’t promised and I want to document you with your favorite people as they are today.

As a wedding planner, I have the opportunity to work with some exceptional vendors and Cassidy is on this list! She is professional, kind and easy to work with on behalf of the clients and through the details and changes that come with wedding planning. On the day she is prompt, classy, discrete and confident in directing wedding party members to get the best shots. I look forward to working with Cassidy again and will continue to recommend her to my clients.

For over 10 years, I’ve had the absolute honor of capturing love stories through wedding videography. What started as a passion for editing videos in my bedroom (on an ancient computer!) has grown into a full-fledged creative business grounded in storytelling, heart, and authenticity. Dates book up quickly, but I always make time to connect with new couples. Whether it's a quick text chat or a phone call, I'm happy to walk you through my process and see if we're the right fit.

From the moment we met with Holly at Silver Autumn Media, we knew we were in amazing, informed and kind hands. Their communication throughout the planning process was fantastic, and they provided helpful guidance to keep us calm and focused on enjoying our wedding day. The final video they delivered was an incredible dream come true - they captured every special detail and moment, from the big events to the small, intimate exchanges. Holly was simply perfect and exceeded our expectations in every way. I truly cannot imagine going to anyone else to capture the magic of our wedding day. It's been a year now, and every time my husband and I watch our video, we are reminded of the raw emotions and feelings of that special day. Holly and her team at Silver Autumn Media did an incredible job of keeping those memories alive for us. We cannot thank them enough!

Whether you're having an informal outdoor gathering, an extravagant formal affair, or anything in between, Callier's Catering has just the right package for you!

Callier's is outstanding! Due to Covid, my daughters wedding was changed 3 times -and we ended up having 50 guests for the reception in our backyard. Catherine and Abby were so kind and patient, helping us navigate through the details for each wedding change. When we decided to have the reception in our backyard, Catherine and Abby came to our house to look at our house setup to determine what they needed and talked me through all of the details. The reception dinner and backyard setup was beyond perfect! The food was absolutely delicious, and the table setup was beautiful. Catherine and Abby figured out all that we needed, ordered it for us, and set up the most beautiful dinner tables. They also setup a gorgeous champagne arrangement that awed the guests as they arrived. Everyone received appetizers, drink refills, salad and meals in a timely manner and the plating was gorgeous!! The staff was very attentive to our guests. Some of our guests told us they felt they were in a Hallmark movie! We cannot thank the Callier's staff, Catherine and Abby enough for everything they did to make our daughter's outdoor wedding a dream! Callier's provided outstanding personalized service, a friendly and attentive staff, truly delicious food and the dream team of Catherine and Abby to work with. I highly recommend Callier's and we cannot wait for them to cater our full out wedding reception that was postponed until next year!

The possibilities are endless! Start planning your wedding, your way at Cedar Creek!

  • Has onsite accommodations
  • Wheelchair accessible
  • Bridal suite on site

Venue considerations

  • Does not allow pets
  • Not for you if you prefer a more modern aesthetic
  • Venue feels large for events with small guest lists
Cedar Creek was above and beyond what we could have asked for in a venue. Our biggest priority when looking at venues was that all of our guests could stay on site, and that it was a beautiful venue with indoor/outdoor options for ceremony and reception. When we found Cedar Creek, we were instantly in love, and knew it was our venue. We could not have anticipated how hospitable they would be before and especially on our wedding weekend. Mark is an incredibly kind and generous property manager. He made quite a few accommodations for my husband's grandparents, drove them pretty much everywhere on the golf cart, and went above and beyond for all of our other guests. Sky is the best day of coordinator we could have asked for. She was calm, present, and very organized. She was able to keep me (an event manager myself) calm and unaware of any issues that were occurring. Our timeline ended up being off for the reception, and she came in with a plan for us, instead of asking what we wanted to do. I could not have gotten through the day without her! There are countless other moments where she was incredibly helpful, but that one stuck out the most to us. Chef Todd is an incredible chef. We cannot praise him enough, and got lots of compliments from our guests! He was accommodating for all of our dietary restrictions, makes incredible breakfasts as well, and overall did a fantastic job. All of the other staff that we encountered was also so hospitable and kind. If you are looking at getting married, we cannot recommend Cedar Creek enough. Your guests will love it, and so will you!

Here’s a small confession: I’m not very comfortable in front of a camera. Oh I can take a decent self-portrait, but once someone else is taking my photo, everything falls apart: where do my arms go? Does my stance look normal? And oh no, was that smile natural? So if that happens to you when the camera comes out, no worries! I know how you feel.

Dave was fun to work with. My husband is usually very uncomfortable with getting his picture taken but Dave kept him at ease during our engagement shoot and on the wedding day. He was up for any suggestions but also had a lot of great unique ideas. I live in NY and Dave was flexible in scheduling the engagement shoots around mine and my husband’s travel plans. On the day of the wedding he instantly blended in with our family and friends which lead to amazing photos. I love my photos and highly recommend Dave Moore.

I'm Alyssa, and I'm so glad you found your way here. My love for the wedding industry began in 2021 when I had the privilege of planning my own wedding. From that experience, I discovered my passion for all the details—big and small—that make a wedding day truly special. Whether it's helping you choose the perfect venue, picking the best caterer, or working with a florist to bring your vision to life, I’m here for it all.

When I first started to plan our wedding I was not sure I needed a wedding coordinator but boy was I wrong! Having Lyss for our big day was a game changer. She handled so much- from helping keeping every timeline on track, to setting up decor, to steaming dresses and providing Bobby pins to bridesmaids, my niece ripped her dress and she pulls out a sewing kit and helps fix it, she even saved me with deodorant at one point throughout the day. Another thing I loved is that she took pictures behind the scenes so the next morning when I woke up I had pictures to look back on instead of waiting weeks for my photographers photos. She helped my family with clean up at the end of the night too. She never missed a beat and made it where myself and my family members weren’t running around completing tasks and could actually enjoy the day. She is professional, communicative, kind, and someone you can trust on one of the biggest days of your life. Would recommend her a million times!

Bryson has a knack for putting people at ease while bringing out their best smiles. He called my family and friends by their nicknames, making it feel lighthearted. The photos captured the emotion and special moments without feeling overly posed or cookie-cutter. Bryson went above and beyond to scout locations ahead of time and was open to suggestions that highlighted what made our wedding unique to us as a couple.

Hey there! I'm Nikki. I have over nine years of event planning experience, including my own wedding in 2022. I am a coordinator with Trinity Griffin Events! My love languages are spreadsheets and fresh flowers. I've been known to cry at the first bite of really good food. The thing that excites me the most about this process is doing the heavy lifting so that you can be truly present for your once-in-a-lifetime moments.

Nikki was extremely professional, kind, thoughtful, smart, creative, helpful, and downright indispensable in the 2 months leading up to our wedding day. On the day itself, she handled so many details both big and small, ran unexpected errands, shared her water with me before I walked down the aisle, bustled me, kept another vendor in line, and just generally RULED. Thanks to her, I was able to stay grounded and focused during the planning phase, which significantly reduced my stress. Nikki has a natural talent for project management and is incredibly organized and caring. She was a critical member of our team and became a trusted friend. My husband and I told everyone that hiring her was the best investment we made for our wedding, and it’s true! We can’t recommend Nikki enough for your special day!

Congratulations on your engagement! Planning a wedding can be very stressful but we strive to make this the easy part. We like to call ourselves "licensed wedding morning coordinators". We travel to your location and can handle weddings of any size. Sit back, relax and let us take care of all the details. Our style can be described as timeless and classic. We feel the way you look on your wedding day should be just as important as saying "yes to the dress".

I don’t think I could say enough wonderful things about Kelly and Hannah. From the start, Kelly was very quick to communicate back with any questions I had about her services. I used Kelly and Hannah for o site hair and makeup for myself, 2 mothers, and 3 bridesmaids. They were on time, kept account of their schedule, and made changes/additions as requested. The bridesmaids LOVED their looks, and they’re a picky crew :) as did the moms! I love that Kelly’s style enhances your natural beauty while also making you look fabulous. I wanted to look like myself, but the best version of myself. She came through! Also she does spray tans and it gives THE best glow. 11/10 would recommended Kamco to anyone.
