Shannon VanDyke Photography was a dream to work with for our wedding photos. Shannon's communication throughout the planning process was amazing - she was very responsive over email and phone, and took the time to understand exactly what we envisioned for our big day. On the wedding day itself, Shannon was a total pro - she made sure to capture all the special moments, and her attention to detail was incredible. The photos turned out beautifully - Shannon perfectly captured the emotion and joy of the day. She went above and beyond to make sure we got photos with all of our guests during the photo bomb game, which was a fun way to include everyone. Overall, we were thrilled with Shannon's services and the gorgeous photos to remember our wedding day. Her professionalism and artistic eye resulted in timeless images we will cherish.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Annie from Annie Occasion for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. From the very beginning, Annie was just as excited for our special day as we were, and her enthusiasm and support for our DIY work meant so much to us. She really took the time to understand our vision and helped us make it a reality. Annie delivered the most stunning bouquets and personal flowers that perfectly matched the vibe we wanted. The attention to detail was amazing, and the flowers brought so much beauty and life to our day. In addition to the florals, she set up gorgeous floating candle cylinders that added an elegant, romantic touch to the ambiance. We were able to rent them directly from her, which made the process so easy and stress-free. Annie’s warmth, creativity, and dedication truly made our experience wonderful.

I am Marissa, a photographer, mom, and wife. When I am not behind the camera you can find me venturing around Chicago or the country with my family. We love adventures and I love a delicious plate of nachos… snickers and a fizzy water I AM SURE YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY I DO WHAT I DO AND HOW I DO IT… I have always had a camera in my hand for as long as I can remember… I mean even one of my daughter is named after a camera and the other is named after light.. I bet you can’t guess what their names are. I absolutely love being there to capture all moments in life… especially weddings.

Awarded Best of Zola
I hired Marissa as our photographer this past June for our Long Beach, California Wedding knowing she was going to capture every moment beautifully. Let me tell you, she delivered so much more. She helped keep forward momentum through the whole night when everything was just a joyful blur I was lost in. When an issue arose with the second photographer, she found a solution before we even knew of the problem. She was such an incredible asset throughout the entire experience. On top of that, our photos came out incredible. She captured the feeling of the wedding. So many touching moments, celebrations, and Justin and I have never looked better. I’m obsessed. I can’t rave enough about how incredible Marissa is. I could not imagine our wedding without her, you shouldn’t either. 100000/100 highly recommend

Hi, I'm Louie, Chicago-based wedding photographer with a love for working with fun, creative couples who want their special day captured in an artistic, personal way! I focus on intimate and mid-size celebrations, offering a uniquely personal touch that sets us apart from larger studios. Every couple has a unique story, and my goal is to capture yours in a style that's fun, creative, and tailored just for you. Let's make your wedding photography as unforgettable as your love story!

I have nothing but great things to say about Two-2-Tango! Our wedding was in the city in January and I had booked Louie the June prior. From the first time reaching out until we received all of our pictures from the wedding day, Louie was extremely helpful, communicative, and friendly. He was there at our venue promptly and he got so many amazing shots throughout the day and night. He also was just really fun to work with - he put my husband and I at ease, and our guests thought he was a close friend of ours given how friendly and intuitive he was! Thank you so much, Louie!

Emma was incredibly helpful on and before our wedding day. I was deep into wedding planning and handled most of it myself when I realized I was simply going to need help with set ups during ceremony/cocktail hour/reception (A time where none of us could be in two places at once!) Emma created a custom package that fit our specific needs and it was perfect! Aside from that she was so kind, professional, and attentive even in a few meetings we had with the venue before the day. If I could do wedding planning over knowing what I know now, I would've found her sooner to include her expertise even more in our planning / day! Thank you Emma!

Shooting weddings is what brings me the most fulfillment and joy. It is pretty amazing when your passion can become your career. I understand the importance of capturing the authenticity and uniqueness of your love. The most rewarding aspect of my work is seeing the joy, sacrifice, beauty and love in marriage. I will help you every step of the way to feel comfortable and confident, but I want to get all of the unplanned moments as well! If you think we're a fit, say hey!

Rachel was referred to us by our married friends who also shot with her. We're more than thrilled we went with her! I'm not exaggerating when I say that I think her work is the best I've seen. I saw some of previous work in her portfolio and thought to myself, "wow, that's incredible, but I don't think we have the means to so something that spectacular around here." I was totally wrong. Rachel is able to transform nearby locations into magical and breathtaking backdrops. She was able to make these special memories appear like they were taken out of a movie. We will look back on these beautiful pictures for the rest of out live. They turned out even better than what we imagined, and we couldn't be happier. Thank you Rachel!

I absolutely love celebrating with my couples on one of the best days of their lives! I’m always up for an adventure! I’ve never met a mountain that I didn’t like. I love my dogs (all dogs TBH), Leslie Knope, and the Great British Bake Off. I would love to hear about your story and your vision for your wedding day!

Devin Hayman Photography was incredible to work with for our wedding! From the very beginning, Devin took the time to get to know us as a couple and understand what was most important to us on our big day. Her communication style was warm and personable, which immediately put us at ease. On the wedding day, Devin and her assistant captured every moment beautifully - from our posed family photos to the spontaneous moments like my brother dancing with his 6-year-old. Her work is simply a 12/10 on all levels. As a same-sex couple, we were a bit anxious about finding the right vendors, but Devin proved to be the perfect choice. We adore our engagement photos and are over the moon with how our wedding photos turned out. Devin is not only a supremely talented photographer, but an even better human being. We couldn't recommend her more highly!

The professionalism was like non other! They made sure my wedding was absolutely perfect! I got married on the hottest day of the year with a heat index of 119 F and the tent kept all of my guests cool! Emma did an outstanding job and her communication was stellar! Pete offered rides for guests on his golf cart throughout the wedding to make sure people did not have to walk far! I knew from the moment I took a tour here that I just had to have my wedding here! They offer many decorations that you can add to with your own hint of color to make your night beautiful! I needed to change my date unexpectedly and they were able to accommodate without any issues! I heard they were planning on making more improvements on years to come with an addition of a new barn and that is just so exciting for all the future brides! How can you make improvements on something that was already so perfect! All brides should save their time and visit this venue first because I know you will just fall in love with it! I think I am one of the very few brides that can say nothing went wrong on my special day and it was all due to the help of Emma, Pete, and the Northfork staff! P.s. I was looking over from previous reviews and brides have full capability of choosing their own DJ and food vendor, but Northfork offers a nice list of PREFERRED vendors that work well to help with the search! I chose all my vendors (Uncle Bubs and DJUj) from their list and my night could not have been more perfect!

Fishermen's Inn was the perfect venue for our wedding. Their communication style was effective, fast, and thorough from the moment we first inquired about booking. The quality of their work and the overall value was exceptional - everything was clean, elegant, and beautifully orchestrated. They went above and beyond to ensure our special day was perfect. For example, I had a large cross that didn't fit the altar in the ceremony space, but instead of not allowing me to have anything at all, they provided their own ceremony cross for us to use free of charge. We loved this venue and felt it was worth every penny. They have so many included perks which allows you way less stress on wedding planning.

Love and storytelling have been the anchors of my life. What began with theatre and paint evolved into my photography career, and I learned love from the very best. This art form allows me to celebrate beauty and hold a mirror to what I believe is the best part of our existence - joy. For this, my heart overflows with gratitude.

Awarded Best of Zola
I don't even know where to begin with Zachera. She is a truly special human being, and it was an absolute honor to have her documenting our most intimate and special moments during our wedding day (and engagement shoot). If you go to her website, it'll tell you what you need to know about her and her work, but what it doesn't do is detail exactly how amazing she is and how amazing she'll make you feel. Before we officially booked Zachera, she set up a FaceTime meeting with us (we're in different states) and wanted to know our story so that she could ensure that we were the right fit for each other - an important step to making sure your day is going to be smooth and capture what you're envisioning! After we booked her she was nothing but exceedingly kind, helpful, and accommodating. I can't say enough how wonderful it was having her there on our wedding day. She really enhanced our entire experience, and I can't imagine our day without her help and guidance and kindness. I am a self-conscious person who worries often what I'm going to look like in pictures, and that's not something you want to think about on your wedding day. Zachera helped make me feel like the most beautiful bride, with genuine sincerity. Outside of Zachera being a great human, her work is absolutely stunning. It speaks for itself- you just need to look at her samples and you'll know. It makes you feel things. I don't know anything about photography but I do know that looking at her work conveys actual thoughts and feelings and not just images. Please consider sharing your day with someone like Zachera, and rest easy knowing that your memories will be lovingly preserved.

I’m a high school English teacher, so all of that time I spend wrangling teenagers and getting them to do work helps me out when I’m directing your wedding party for photos. I love being a teacher, and I love the flexibility it gives me to pursue another passion of mine: photography.

Jason made us feel so comfortable during both our engagement photos, and on our wedding day. His personality allowed us to feel calm all day. He's second shooter, Jeremy, was just as outstanding. Jason's work is full of emotion, love, and talent. Choosing a photographer is very personal, and looking for the style you like can be challenging. Jason listened to what my dream was and was able to deliver just that. Jason's client portal is so easy to use, and allowed us to organize timeline, shot lists, etc. Jason sent us a substantial amount of "sneek peek" pictures the next day!!! Jason was able to customize a package that matched our exact needs & budget. If you are looking for a photographer to capture the quiet moments, Jason is 100% for you. I WILL be recommending Jason & his crew to all of my friends and family. Jason also does mini-photo shoots, family photos, etc.

My husband and I had our wedding at Country Coach House last month and couldn't have been happier with our choice. Karen and Bruce were wonderful to work with from start to finish. Communication was quick and reliable, and they were always friendly and attentive to our needs. The venue itself is big, beautiful, and spacious - perfect for hosting our guest list. Karen and Bruce were there on the big day handling all the logistics and helping everything run smoothly. They were extremely helpful making sure my husband and I could just focus on enjoying ourselves. I would definitely recommend Country Coach House to any couple looking for a rustic, charming venue with great staff for their wedding. We couldn't have asked for a better space or people to host our special day.

I cannot recommend Lytle more! They were so patient, organized and communicative during our entire year leading up to our wedding day. If you're looking for a small to medium sized wedding space that's intimate and beautiful this is the place! It's decorated enough to stand on it's own, but open and spacious enough to add your own decor elements to it.

Graceful Weddings And Events Llc. was an absolute pleasure to work with. Their communication style was super responsive, and the quality of their work was truly professional, valuable, honest, and transparent. Traci and her team were amazing - they put everything together seamlessly and saved our wedding day. When my wife's maid of honor accidentally left the wedding veil at the hotel, Traci's assistant sprang into action, getting an Uber and rushing the veil to the church, delaying the ceremony by only 11 minutes. Traci knew my wife couldn't walk down the aisle without it, and she went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. She's not just a wedding planner, she's a true professional who gets things done. I can't recommend Graceful Weddings And Events highly enough. I cannot tell you enough how amazing Traci was throughout the entire process. She was there every time we needed her. Absolutely no restrictions on phone calls, meetings messages, whether in person or not. She actually truly cares about her clients and does not make commission off of any venues or vendors in fact, quite the opposite, she is a master at negotiation and that’s how you can tell that she’s in this Because it’s her passion. She goes way above and beyond for all of her clients and I could tell by working with her throughout the process for the entire year along that we worked with Traci. To be honest we actually miss her because she was solving not only wedding problems, but other issues as well Put it this way Traci will make sure that you have exactly what you want but she will go and take it 10 steps further! I would recommend her to anyone I know having any type of event!

Cotten Designs was an incredible wedding planning partner from start to finish. Marissa and her team were incredibly flexible, highly responsive, and approachable communicators throughout the entire planning process. They were always quick to respond to our questions and adaptive to any changes we needed to make. The quality of their work was outstanding - they were creative, dedicated, proactive, collaborative, and incredibly organized. For example, Marissa helped us come up with the perfect wedding favors by sourcing custom Coca-Cola bottles with our names on them, which saved us a ton of time and effort. She also knew exactly how to get all our guests using the POV app on the day-of with a simple QR code sign. She also helped me source other decor I needed for the wedding, semi last minute. On the wedding day itself, Marissa ran everything flawlessly - no one came to me with questions and I didn't have to lift a finger, even for clean-up. Marissa's design skills are amazing too, as she helped us create custom signage throuhgout and at the last minute. I can't recommend Cotten Designs enough - they truly made my wedding stress-free and perfect.
