Audrey is incredible! I don’t know much about makeup- so I just told her what I was aiming for and put my trust in her. Needless to say, she surpassed my expectations. I’ve never felt more beautiful than I did after she did my hair and makeup. She’s not only a talented stylist, but also a great person to work with. She brought a fun and kind-hearted energy, which is much needed when getting ready on a busy wedding day.

She brought so much excitement to our engagement and wedding that made the time leading up to and the big day so much more special. We loved her photography style so much that we adapted our initial vision to match her style and it was the best decision we made. Our photos are timeless, warm, so reflective of the overwhelming love we experienced that day, and already so very cherished. She captured every moment, every emotion, and every person exactly right. Her apprentices also did a fantastic job. Every single person who has seen the photos has specifically pointed out how good our photographer was. Aside from her incredible work as a photographer, she is all around a delightful person, easy to work with, kind, and fun!

My name is Alaura, and I am a Chicago-based photographer with a love of great art, true stories, and old-school glamour. I believe in romanticizing everyday life for the joy of it. For me, that means fine teacups on a Wednesday, bouquets for no reason, and a home full of antiques. This also translates to my photography style!

We loved Alaura’s work so so so much. First She was super punctual and professional. She made sure to capture every detail and never stopped taking pictures which to me was awesome. She also had the greatest ideas of photos for us. I consider myself a very shy person and I usually don’t enjoy when the spotlight is on me. But with Alaura it felt super easy and natural and I got to enjoy every part of this process. She just encourage us to be ourselves and the result of that was amazing. Thank you so so so much Alaura for all your beautiful and amazing work !!

She guided us through poses and brought out the best of us resulting in photos that are nothing short of amazing and captured “us”! Her keen eye for beauty and detail is remarkable, especially during such significant moments like engagement or wedding day. We are obsessed with our photos and feel so grateful to have these special moments captured so beautifully.

  • Serves Chicago Heights, IL

I've been documenting weddings for 15 years! Your wedding will have so man quick and candid moments, and that's what I'm there for. The spontaneity. The honesty. The "beautiful" vs the "pretty". Hearing things like "Wow, we didn't even know that happened!" or "This is the best picture of my Grandpa I've ever seen," is what keeps me fired up year after year! I believe everyone deserves to feel welcomed, honored, and free to express their love for each other. I proudly support and celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community along with all cultural backgrounds and traditions!

As a same-sex couple, we weren't sure how different vendors would feel about working on our wedding. From the first interaction, Ryan was welcoming and inclusive - how amazing! We had an intricate wedding day with high church, a theater performance, and the traditional dinner/dancing/toasts. Ryan rolled with all the details, capturing each one. Even better? He and his assistant faded into the background ... our guests commented that they never even noticed a photographer being there, never felt blocked or intruded upon. When we got the results, our hundreds-of-photos were chock full of "how did they get THAT shot?" kinds of reactions. Amazing. Ryan's pictures are so fantastic, we would consider getting married a second time, just so we could hire him again.

Since our founding in 2015, we’ve been providing expert planning advice and helping clients curate the wedding of their dreams. We are proud to be a woman-owned and operated business! To have the opportunity to play a role in our clients’ wedding day is truly a special gift. We respect our clients’ visions and values, planning each wedding with the utmost care.

We cannot say enough great things about Michelle and her team at Bustle and Lace! Our wedding at The Fairlie in Chicago was an absolute dream—and it all ran flawlessly, thanks to her incredible work. From the very beginning, Michelle was a true professional and a calming presence. She maintained consistent and clear communication throughout the planning process and scheduled regular meetings to keep us on track with important milestones. She took charge of organizing with our many vendors—often without needing our involvement, which was a huge relief as the day approached. Michelle is incredibly well-established in the Chicagoland wedding scene and has clearly built strong relationships with many of the most popular local vendors—photographers, bands, DJs, caterers, florists, venues—you name it. That familiarity made coordination seamless and stress-free, and it was clear she had worked with many of our vendors before, which gave us even more peace of mind. She created a detailed, thoughtful timeline that covered everything from the bridal party’s hair and makeup arrival to the band’s final song and the venue teardown. Thanks to her preparation and the hard work of her team, everything went according to schedule without a single hiccup. On the wedding day itself, we were able to be fully present, knowing we were in the best hands. We didn’t have to worry about a thing and could simply enjoy every moment with our family and friends. We’re so grateful to Michelle and Bustle and Lace for making our wedding day stress-free and unforgettable. If you're considering a wedding coordinator, look no further—you’ll be so glad you booked her!

I recently had the pleasure of working with an incredibly talented MONROphotography who are exceeded all my expectations. From start to finish, the entire experience was nothing short of exceptional. First and foremost, their professionalism and passion for their craft were evident from our initial contact. They took the time to understand my vision, preferences, and the purpose behind the photo shoot. Their attention to detail and commitment to ensuring a personalized experience made me feel at ease and confident in their abilities. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of capturing special moments. Their talent, dedication, and exceptional customer service set them apart from the rest. I am grateful for the incredible memories they have created for me and will undoubtedly seek their services for any future photography needs.

Angela from Angilily floral studio is the most talented florist I’ve ever met. Her attention to detail and her ability to capture a brides vision and bring it to life is incredible. Her creativity and expertise takes all of the stress away from planning a wedding and you can take a step back and show up to your wedding being blown away by her work. I have hired her for other events since our wedding and we will continue to use her whenever we need flowers in our future. I highly recommend:)

Ok, so we weren’t actual clients, but hear me out! My niece was getting married in the same venue as her wedding. Unfortunately, my niece’s wedding coordinator didn’t show up. Candice had a few quick moments while waiting for her wedding party to go inside and noticed a couple details that were off. She took a brief second to make a suggestion and fix my niece’s dress before she walked down the aisle. You can tell craft is her passion! She didn’t take any attention from her bride, in fact, I’m sure without this review the bride would have never known. However, when something is your passion you enjoy what you do and share your heart when you need to. I just wanted to say a quick THANK YOU for those few fleeting moments of assistance.
