  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Galena, IL

I am a Professional Photographer with over 6 years of experience. I coach soccer in my spare time and I do volunteer work with the Lay Me Down to Sleep Organization assisting families who have suffered a loss. I provide UNIQUE-TO-YOU professional, personal, private, fun, friendly and family oriented photography services to capture all of your families special moments.

Unique Visions Photography by Laura was an absolute pleasure to work with for our Family of 5 . Laura's communication style was punctual, creative, and provided helpful feedback throughout the process. The quality of their work and value was outstanding - the pictures turned out lovely, they had great ideas for unique shots, and were very patient in working with our young kids and newborn baby. Laura was able to get our newborn into really cute poses and he stayed quiet and content the entire time. She also expertly handled juggling our two young kids along with the newborn for some adorable sibling and family photos. We couldn't be happier with the beautiful memories Unique Visions Photography captured of our special day.

  • Serves Galena, IL

Rev. Phil is a full-time wedding officiant. He is real minister (with a Master of Divinity degree). He has been married to Pam for 41 years. He enjoys watching movies (tries to see all the Oscar nominees), reading newspapers on his iPad, the Bears, summer concerts at the Chicago Botanic Garden and wine. He and his wife love to chat, listen to music and drink wine in front of their fireplace or in the backyard, depending on the season.

The entire process of working with him was seamless and enjoyable. He guided us through every step, offering suggestions while also ensuring that our wishes were always honored. His patience and kindness put us at ease, especially during moments when we were feeling nervous or unsure. When it came time for the ceremony, we were in awe of how beautifully it all came together. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how heartfelt and personalized the ceremony was. It was unlike any other wedding ceremony they had attended, and it made our day feel even more meaningful.

I had my wedding in November 2023, and working with 505 was like a DREAM. I got a package that allowed me to work with a video and photo team, and I also had a day-of coordinator. Krystal was my coordinator, and she was incredible!! She was super friendly and bubbly, but also extremely professional. Working with her and her team was such a smooth process; they were quick communicators, I always got a response back quickly, and I never felt uncertain or worried with them. From the engagement session to the wedding itself to the delivery of the final product, I was extremely happy. The photographers and videographers were so much fun to work with, and I honestly can't speak highly enough about how happy my new husband and I are.

I have put together a Cinema Camera Package that gives you a wedding video that is really timeless and full of nostalgia.

If you are looking for all-day coverage or a quick, personal edit, I have custom packages that perfectly fit your vision. Hey, let’s get together and make something amazing! Hey there! 🎥✨

Awarded Best of Zola
Anthony was easy to work with at the wedding. I was a DJ at the wedding I worked with him and from an artistic standpoint, what I saw of his work so far was great. Just like the rest of the vendors at this wedding, he went with the flow and went above and beyond to give the couple the best experience they could get especially under the crazy weather circumstances we had! Rain almost all day, thunderstorms, a tornado warning (it was an outdoor tent wedding) and some high winds that almost took out the tent! Despite that, he remained positive and fun. His needs from me were minimal (tapping into my sound system) and he made sure I wasn't busy when he asked me about it. If the rest of his work is as good as the little I've seen so far, you can't go wrong with his video service!

I am a Chicago-based wedding + elopement photographer. I am available worldwide and love to travel! I document genuine moments for couples, no matter who they love. My images are the perfect mix of posed and photojournalistic, giving you gorgeous portraits without missing the important, candid moments you will want to remember for years to come. My approach to wedding days is simple: I want to make sure you have images of you two that you love and cherish and tell your wedding day story.

Awarded Best of Zola
I came across Tawny a few years ago when she was tagged on another Instagram page that I followed. I was immediately drawn to her style, and her inclusiveness as a photographer. I knew someday, when the time came for me to get married, that Tawny would be on the short list. After getting engaged and beginning our vendor search, Tawny's attention to detail, and personalization of her services stood out amongst all the other inquiries we sent out. Something as simple as the personalized video she sent us after our initial inquiry, detailing her packages and what she felt would be best based on what we were looking for. When we finally met for our engagement shoot this past February, we had an instant connection! Tawny was so inclusive, and captured our vision so perfectly that we could not wait until wedding day! This past weekend, we had the pleasure of spending the entire day with her, and as a bride, the biggest piece of advice I can give other brides is to choose vendors who you vibe with, and want to spend your whole day with! I would get married a million times over if Tawny was going to be on my team!

I've always been a creative at heart, my own mother is an artist so maybe it's genetic? However, photography was never on my radar. One fateful day, a friend reached out to me requesting engagement photos for her and her love. My iPhone and I were absolutely honored at the opportunity! After the debut of those beautiful, phone quality captures, the inquiries came rolling in! I was pleasantly surprised and within months decided it was only right to invest in proper gear. Officially established in 2021, I've been beyond blessed with the chance to meet so many wonderful people and capture their once in a lifetime moments! Anya Grace 🖤

Anya is a highly talented photographer. I struggle with following simple directions, which may be due to the language barrier as English is not my native language. However, Anya was extremely patient with me. I hired her twice for my wedding and graduation pictures, but I actually worked with her three times, including engagement photos, the wedding, and the graduation shoot. She made me feel like a celebrity in all the pictures. I highly recommend her to everyone.

Steve was the most perfect videographer from day one. Not only is he instrumental in his profession, but excels in prompt communication and compassion. If I had an issue, he had a solution. If I had a request, my demand was met. Due to scheduling conflicts, I had to have my rehearsal two days before my wedding. He drove something like 4 hours round trip to be there!! It was refreshing to see him talking/introducing himself to my family, seeing if they had any questions and just making sure we all felt comfortable and prepared for the big day. Steve was just as excited to be there as we were, and that means a lot. He wasn’t there just to take videos, he always went above and beyond for us in any way possible. He was there offering sage advice, making suggestions to improve flow and ensured he exceeded every expectation I had. Not only was he the perfect videographer up to the wedding and the day of, but he released our highlight 3 days after!! The rest of the videos were shipped to us by the time we were home from our honeymoon. The turnaround was impeccable, and the videos were stunning. His attention to the little things made re-watching the videos that much more exciting. The day goes by quickly, but I’m so thankful we had Steve there to capture every detail of my favorite day EVER. Thank you, Steve.

Awarded Best of Zola
Pluvia Studios was an exceptional choice for our wedding videography. Their communication style was very responsive - they promptly replied to all of our texts and calls, making the planning process seamless. The quality of their work was truly professional. Even with our short notice, their team was able to accommodate our needs and captured our special day beautifully. Jaydee and his crew provided excellent coverage, ensuring they got all the important moments. They were a pleasure to work with, and Jaydee was always just a click away, answering our questions without delay. We are thrilled with the final video, which elevated our simple wedding into something truly extravagant. We are so grateful to Pluvia Studios for making our wedding day extra special.
