We can not recommend IG PHOTO VIDEO INC enough. We had Tetyana and Egidijus as our photographers and Irad as our videographer. We also were in contact with Ivan. He was extremely communicative throughout the entire process. From introducing us to Tetyana, Egidijus and Irad, How the process would happen from start to finish to getting our photos and videos back. The photos and video blew us out of the water. We are so in awe of the work and quality they put into our day. They were truly the best to work with from start to finish. The only thing is we have so many pictures I can not choose a favorite. (But that's a great problem to have) They truly captured my husband and I in our photos and videos and we are so blessed we came across their page. This company is 100 percent worth the money and we wouldn't have changed a single thing. You guys were amazing in person and in your work! You can definitely tell they love what they do by the work they produce. A huge thank you to Tetyana, Egidijus, Irad, and Ivan for helping make our day extra special and a day we can look back on in 50 plus years!

Ally was amazing, we talked a couple times before our wedding, and then there she was early and ready to go for our ceremony! She did a great job understanding what we were looking for, which was mostly documentary style photography of the ceremony, and family portraits afterwards. High winds and hot temps and very bright overhead sunlight, and yet our pictures are stunning!! Everyone looks so good, and she captured our happiness perfectly. Thank you Ally for these forever memories, we could not have asked for a better experience.

Jadea Tirado Photography 

5.0

Chicago, IL
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000

I fell in love with photography because I believe the most meaningful moments are often the quietest ones - and the most fun ones, too. Becoming a mom taught me just how fast time flies and how powerful it is to freeze love in a single frame. On your wedding day, I’m there for the happy tears, the belly laughs, the stolen glances, and the dance-floor chaos. With an intuitive eye and a calm, joyful presence, I capture your day as it truly feels - real, romantic, and full of life - so you can relive it long after the cake is gone.

I found my wonderful wedding photographer Jade Tirado on Facebook by posting and asking for referrals. She was recommended by numerous people. Jade took the time to meet with me months before our wedding date to go over every aspect of our day and how she would handle it. She kept in close contact over the months and made sure to make me feel comfortable that our weddings pictures would be beautiful and she was true to her word and then some! Jade handled everything the day of the wedding and I didn’t have to worry about a thing!! She took amazingly beautiful pictures of my wedding and went above and beyond to make sure she got just the right pictures at just the right moments. She even brought her talented daughter with her to help out at no extra charge. Before our ceremony we took pictures outdoors and our ceremony was also held outside. Let me not forget to mention what troopers they both were as June 22nd, 2025 had record breaking temperatures that day!!! I highly recommend Jade Tirado if you’re looking for professionalism, great communication, absolutely beautiful pictures and the pleasure of dealing with a genuinely sweet human being.

Old North has been incredible to work with! Everyone was really warm and they were a great presence at our wedding. We also LOVED the outcome of their work!! The only feedback we had is there was a small amount of unexpected, last-minute changes during the meetings leading up to the wedding, and there was subsequently some lack of preparation that went into those meetings. It was something that caused us slight worry leading up to the wedding, but Old North lived up to our expectations and created an amazing event. We would definitely recommend them in the future!
