Ozan Ulucan Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography. From the moment we first spoke with Ozan, his communication was comprehensive, outgoing and clear. It was evident he has a creative, artistic eye that would capture our day in a unique way. On the wedding day, Ozan arrived early and hit the ground running, snapping photos right away and keeping up the energy and pace throughout the entire event. His experience shone through as he was comfortable facilitating numerous group photos and offering great suggestions on positioning. Ozan also scoped out the venue ahead of time and brought us to multiple spots for one-of-a-kind photos we hadn't even thought of taking on our own. The final edited photos were delivered quickly after the wedding, and the quality was truly professional and a cut above the rest. We received so many photos organized by different times during the wedding including getting ready, ceremony, portraits, family portraits, reception, night, and details including photos of our venue, flowers, and place settings.

Erik made our wedding day incredibly fun and joyful, keeping us laughing and smiling the entire time. His efficient and organized approach ensured the photo portion of the day went seamlessly. We are beyond thrilled with the work Erik did and cannot recommend him highly enough for any couple looking for a truly talented and wonderful wedding photographer. Erik was so great to work with right from the start. I could tell right off the bat just through email that he was so passionate about the work that he does. He also showed so much excitement to get the opportunity to capture our special day. He was very professional and thorough when communicating with us. Our engagement photo session was SO fun, and my husband and I both immediately felt comfortable with Erik. He is so friendly and so easy to work with. Getting pictures taken like that with a significant other can feel awkward, but Erik made it anything but that! It felt very natural and enjoyable, and it felt the exact same way on our wedding day. He took the time to get to know us and our vibe, and rolled with that when taking our pictures. All of our pictures capture our relationship and our love so well, and I’m so thankful we chose Erik! If you want beautiful pictures and some super fun photo sessions, book Erik as your photographer!

I like to take a journalistic approach to my wedding photography, letting the day flow naturally, all while capturing every wonderful moment for the couple as non-obtrusive as possible. My goal is to make your big day as stress free & fun as possible while capturing memories to last a life time!

Awarded Best of Zola
When we were first planning our wedding, my wife and I weren't sure whether or not we were going to have a videographer. We figured photos would capture the moments and event, but about a month beforehand, both of our parents urged us to record the day on video. Andrew was a godsend! He was super responsive and professional, helped us craft our vision for the teaser video as well as the longer feature, and was a notably awesome teammate to our photographer (so cool seeing them work together strategically after just meeting!). Andrew went above and beyond and recorded a lot of candid moments and all of our friends' speeches on the Friday before the wedding, which was really important to us. We can't imagine having NOT had Andrew as our videographer now, and we often smile and cry when we watch our full length video of our big day. If you choose to work with Andrew, you'll be happy you did.

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

Awarded Best of Zola
People often debate what's most important for a wedding: is it the venue, the food, the flowers... ?  It's the memories, and putting them in the hands of artists who can show you the heart and soul and feel of every moment - moments you can't plan for, you can never adequately take in, and many you would simply miss. Jarrod and Taylor are certainly technically gifted photographers and videographers, but more importantly they are artists whose true love is capturing yours.  The name says it all: The Narrative. My bride Ali and I will be forever grateful that we found and convinced them to tell our story.  I could imagine a thousands different weddings, but none without them by our side. Thank you, Jarrod and Taylor, you beautiful humans, for your truly awesome and unbelievable care, vision, and talents.  You've given us more than we could have ever imagined or even hoped for, through your perfect lens. With love and a lifetime of gratitude, Mike & Ali

  • Serves Cherry, IL

I find inspiration in the diverse environments surrounding me. Hailing from the Philippines as an immigrant, I bring a multifaceted perspective to my craft, shaped by my personal journey and cultural heritage. Grounded in a diverse educational background encompassing art, architecture, and interior design, I approach floral design with the mindset of an artist, endeavoring to craft arrangements that transcend mere decoration, transforming spaces into immersive experiences.

J. Francis Florals provided exceptional service for our wedding day. While their communication style was not lengthy, it was extremely effective. The quality of their work and value was extremely high - the beautiful florals and setup happened without me even having to worry whatsoever, and everything was perfectly as described and even better in person. The arch florals were amazingly beautiful and the value was exceptional. Our sweetheart table florals were gorgeously designed. J Francis Florals is definitely worth booking, even though their communication was sometimes unavailable due to their busy schedule with other major events (which is how you know he’s a good florist); but they showed up on time when it mattered most on our wedding day. Overall, we highly recommend them. Amazing service and beautiful florals!

Jovan was absolutely amazing to work with. On our calls before the big day, she was always happy and excited and answered all of our questions and it gave us such a sense of ease. I never once had to worry and stress about photos. Day of the wedding, she completely killed it. She was still her happy self but was able to organize us and snap some amazing photos. She worked with me on some odd family and friend dynamics and eliminated any worries I had. She did a fantastic job of catching the perfect small moments, some of which I didn’t even know she was capturing. The photos are all so naturally beautiful and I can’t even begin to describe how much we love them. They are clean and bright and show us, our personalities, and our people perfectly. 100% the best decision we made.

I was in the wedding party at one of my best friend's wedding a few months back, and they hired Electric Sugar to be their wedding band. I was super impressed. It was clear these are not musicians who just play on the weekends. They are PROS. They played the hits, and brought a great energy that had everyone dancing all night long. The vibe was so great, and they really didn't let up. As a musician myself I really like watching musicians do their thing, and every single member of this band is exceptional. Really can't recommend enough if you want to have basically the funnest wedding reception possible. Electric Sugar is the real deal!

This is the second time we booked Erin Henze Media to take family photos. Impressed that I received a pre-shoot survey so I could share the specific type and style of photos we were looking for. Erin took AMAZING photos of my family. No easy feat when you are dealing with a 6YO, 4YO, and 2YO. :P The photos she took will be treasured by family and are ones that will be hanging on the wall for a lifetime.

We have been telling our couples' stories for over 15 years, and we love this work more now than when we started. Everything is about telling your story and what makes your day unique. Our goal by the end of watching one of our films, than a perfect stranger feels like they know you. Everything from the style in which we edit, the music, to the bits of conversation we capture throughout the day go to tell YOUR story.

Parklife Films was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding video. From our very first interaction, their communication style was positive, comforting and crystal clear - they made the entire process seamless and stress-free. The quality of their work is simply unbelievable, delivering a final product that is pure perfection. The video they created is something my husband and I cherish and watch every year, as it so perfectly captures the joy and intimacy of our special day in a way that is both memorable and deeply personal. The experience and the memories we have thanks to Parklife Films are truly priceless - it was hands down the best money we spent on our wedding.
