I had the absolute pleasure of having Cristal as the hair & makeup artist for my recent wedding, and I cannot express how incredible she was throughout the entire process. From the very beginning, Cristal went above and beyond in her preparation, ensuring that every detail was meticulously planned. She took the time to understand exactly what each of us wanted, listening carefully to our visions and bringing them to life flawlessly. On the day of the wedding, Cristal's dedication truly shone through. She was not only professional and skilled but also incredibly warm and personable, making everyone feel at ease. She even provided thoughtful touch-up kits, which were a lifesaver and kept us looking flawless throughout the event. Cristal quickly became more than just our makeup artist; she became a friend.

I started photography in 2017 and after being a part of many weddings, engagements, and family sessions, I still love what I do and I am deeply dedicated to serving my clients. I consider myself a storyteller and love capturing the little details, the half-smiles, and the simple motions. For me, it is about seeing the real, the lovely, and the messy moments, the everyday magic that tells the stories of our lives. Each wedding and session has its own unique story to tell and I challenge myself to capture those stories through my camera as best as I can and would be honored to capture yours too!

Awarded Best of Zola
We can’t express enough how incredible our experience with Eugene was and how perfectly he captured our wedding day. After Hurricane Helene, we had to change our venue and it was a little farther away from our original venue and Eugene made it happen and didn't want any extra travel fee or anything from us. On the wedding day he made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera and made sure no moment from our wedding went unnoticed. Not only is he an amazing photographer, but he’s also a fantastic person, and we truly hope our paths cross again in the future. We highly recommend planning your special day around when Eugene is available to document it—you won’t regret it!

New Vintage Strings is a distinctive ensemble of classically trained string players and music educators. NVS was officially founded in 2018, but our musicians have been playing together for much longer, as principal players of the Fox Valley Orchestra. All of our musicians are very close friends; and that bond energizes and elevates our performance. Husband & wife team, Jeremy & Emily, have been making music together since meeting at the NIU School of Music in the early 2000s. Their love for their craft continues to grow with every performance opportunity together.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jeremy and the New Vintage Strings quartet were incredible. Jeremy facilitated the communication for the quartet, was prompt, thorough, and extremely helpful from start to finish with all aspects. The New Vintage Strings quartet played the ceremony and cocktail hour for our wedding on Saturday, June 15th, 2024, and were a massive hit for all who attended. Their resources were user-friendly, and their repertoire was expansive. The New Vintage Strings quartet were also willing to find the sheet music for a song that was not on their list of songs. It was an absolute pleasure to work with New Vintage Strings and relatively cost-friendly given how expensive live music can be, particularly for weddings. I highly recommend having New Vintage Strings play your wedding or event where music may be appropriate. A massive thank you to Jeremy and the rest of the New Vintage Strings quartet for their lovely performance and making our wedding even more spectacular!

  • Photographer
  • Classic style

  • Serves Channahon, IL for additional fees

My name's Allison and I am a photographer for the madly in love, imperfect couples that want their joy-filled wedding days to be captured on camera. Working to pursue my degree in my Masters of Occupational Therapy, I spend all my free time behind a camera shooting the love and beauty of those I meet. A lover of Jesus, chocolate freak, and an Enneagram 2, I am SO excited you're here and interested in a photographer!

Allison was a such a pleasure to work with, beginning to end (and beyond!). As a nervous, eloping bride throwing a wedding together very quickly, I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into... I had SO many reservations about the process, especially photography (who doesn't?!). Within minutes of meeting, Allison put my mind at ease, knowing I could put my faith and trust in her to 'capture' our day perfectly (*spoiler alert* - she did JUST that!). As someone who's not particularly fond of pictures, her ability to make you feel comfortable and guide you along the way for a natural look is just what we needed. Her sweet soul is uplifting, reassuring, and relieves the pressure and force of perfection - allowing you to be fully present with your loved one and out of your head. Her prompt sneak peeks were just a small glimpse of the beautiful (and quick) gallery she delivered that brought me to tears! Her editing brings all the 'feel-goods' to your photos for that polished, yet natural look. We can relive these moments time and time again because of her skill, passion, and dedication. Do yourselves a favor and book with Allison!

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Tara Beth for our wedding in December 2022. We started following her instagram years prior and fell in love with how she captured every moment, from the guests to the couple. Not only were her photos amazing, but being a part of the LGBTQ community can feel daunting at times when reaching out to vendors, specifically for same-sex weddings. We had a few tough experiences with other vendors in regards to being a same-sex couple, but Tara Beth, as she is a part of the community, made it easy to feel comfortable and accepting. We contacted her and were met with a quick response. From the start, we knew she was the one. Her vibe and passion for love sold us! My wife and I were very nervous to take photos, but Tara Beth reassured us that she would walk us through everything - and she did just that. She talked us through our first look and it was an amazing experience. She also guided our party and family photos, which was super helpful as we were able to get our photos done ahead of schedule! We appreciate everything Tara Beth did for our special day and would recommend her 100 times over!

She thought of things we never would have and even saved us money multiple times. She kept us grounded, reminding us what was important - us! At one point I remember asking her “Will you call me if this or that goes wrong?” and she replied with “No, I’m not. I am going to figure it out so you can be present with your family and friends.” She did everything perfectly, but this impressed me the most! She even scheduled a few times during our wedding where my husband and I had a few moments alone together. We appreciated this so much because it allowed us to slow down, be present, and catch our breath. My wedding was flawless and I owe it all to her! Thank you so much Katie! Please keep in touch!

Antidote Productions LLC was an incredible wedding planning partner for our special day. Their communication with us was early and often, which helped us feel informed and supported throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work was truly thoughtful, heartfelt, and honest - from the beautiful decor they curated, to the delicious food they sourced, to the incredible live entertainment they secured. I felt that we got our money's worth and more with Antidote Productions, and I would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

Welcome to our creative world! We are David and Katie, a photo and video dynamic duo from the peach state. But, we are more than just visual storytellers. We want to get to know you and build a friendship that extends beyond our lens. Our goal is to capture genuine memories that you'll cherish for years to come.

Working with Hevesi Journal was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Their communication style was reassuring, empathetic, flexible, and understanding throughout the entire process. The quality of Katie's work was truly unique, lovely, and creative - they captured all the important moments and understood the vibe of our wedding day perfectly. Katie even traveled all the way from Georgia to Vermont to join us, which we really appreciated. We are thrilled with how the photos came out. Katie has a unique style that we adored from the start. We aren't people who really love having our pictures taken and Katie was understanding of that, while also making sure we got what we wanted (even though we might not have understood that ourselves.) We highly recommend Katie to any couple seeking a talented, personable photographer for their big day.
