Annie is the best! I was unsure what I wanted for my wedding and Annie talked me through it and created the most beautiful flowers for my wedding party. She called me the week-of to tell me she got the flowers in and she sent me sneak peek pictures the night before which helped put my mind at ease. Great customer service and the best prices!

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

They arrived early at the venue to perform sound quality checks and ensured a perfect outdoor ceremony . They delivered an amazing performance for us. Many guests at the wedding complemented how well things flowed between events. Sound quality was exceptional. Literally the entire night once the dance floor opened, people were out there dancing and enjoying the night away. He was superb and we are lost for words.

Hey there, I'm Taber! A passionate wedding photographer with a heart full of love and a spirit that embraces the joy in every moment. Through my lens, I strive to weave stories that are not just timeless, but also uniquely romantic, creative, and filled with genuine fun. My fun-loving spirit ensures that not only do I take stunning photos, but I also create an atmosphere where laughter and joy naturally unfold. I specialize in creating images that not only stand the test of time but also tell a story that is exclusively yours. From intimate glances to exuberant celebrations, I aim to freeze every moment in a frame of everlasting beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
I could not have dreamt up a better photographer for our wedding than Taber Lacie... I don't even know where to begin. Booking her was easily the best decision we made of all our vendor choices. Her talent is just through the roof. There are certainly plenty of photographers out there who are talented and it can be tough to narrow down, but what I think separates Taber from the pack is how, in addition to being uniquely talented and passionate about her work, she is also affordable, incredibly fun to be around, and will stick around for the ENTIRE day and night. The importance of having a photographer who is laid-back, directive (in an enjoyable and super helpful way!), hilarious, and overall a joy to have with you is so underrated; it can really make or break your mood for the day since they're there, ideally, throughout every part of your day. In terms of her rates, I truly believe she could charge double what she does and still be worth every penny. The fact that she included a free engagement photo session (in part to help you ensure it's a good fit) and stayed through the reception was such a gift. That said, if I had to pinpoint one aspect of what makes Taber so special and why I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer is that she tailors her photographs to your preferences and taste. We are a huge fan of dancing photos, for example, and holy cow did she come through. She sends out a questionnaire before the big day and its purposefully lengthy so that she can be thorough and give you all exactly what you're looking for. Even if our photos aren't your taste, I highly recommend browsing her site, as her range is as remarkable as is the quality of her photographs. In short, if you book Taber, I am confident she will exceed your expectations just as she exceeded ours.

My name is Kate Scott Daly, and I can't wait to meet you! I'm a Chicago native and have been a professional photographer for nearly a decade. I am obsessed with capturing the perfect moment that will make you gasp and say "Oh my god, this is amazing!" Being a queer woman, it is so important to me that you feel safe, loved, and beautiful every step of the way. If you're looking for someone you can relax with and just be yourself, you've found me! Let's face it: it can be awkward being in front of a camera. Even I feel nervous sometimes! I understand that anxiety and will do everything I can to make you feel fabulous!

We cannot recommend Kate enough! From the moment we met her, she made us feel completely comfortable and celebrated our love with so much enthusiasm. As a queer couple, it was important for us to work with someone who not only respected but truly celebrated queer weddings, and Kate went above and beyond. She took the time to help us clarify our vision for our wedding photos, which was especially helpful since we only had 6 weeks to plan our wedding and felt a little overwhelmed by the process. She was a great guide and we immediately knew we were in good hands! Kate’s associate Ryan shot the photos on our wedding day and they captured every special moment—from the big emotional vows to the smallest, most intimate glances—with such artistry and care. The photos are breathtaking, full of life, and truly reflect the joy of our day. Right when Ryan arrived, they jumped in with capturing photos of small details and worked to capture everything we wanted for our special day. Kate and Ryan were both an absolute delight to work with—professional, fun, and incredibly talented. If you're looking for a photographer who will make you feel seen, respected, and celebrated while delivering stunning photos, look no further. We are beyond grateful for Kate and Ryan and will cherish these photos forever! Thank you for making our wedding memories so magical!

“ Billy Bricks catered our wedding on Saturday May 18, 2024 and we could not have had a better experience! From the moment I contacted them Craig & his team answered every and all questions quickly and put me at ease every step of the way. The day of the wedding they were nothing short of professional! All the food was made on time and it was DELICIOUS! All 160ish of our guests had nothing but great things to say about the food. In fact, it was talked about for the rest of the night! They all kept saying it was the best food they've had at a wedding ever. If you're looking for something fun and unique for any of your events I could not recommend Billy Bricks on Wheels enough! I look forward to working with them for ANY event I plan moving forward. Thank you again Billy Bricks for everything!!”

Hello! I'm Amanda, born and raised in Grand Rapids, MI. I am a self-taught baker who started baking 10 years ago by starting with cakes and advanced my way up to other baked goods including but not limited to macarons, beautifully decorated sugar cookies and many more. I enjoy every step of the baking process and decorating. It warms my heart to feed others my delicious creations and to hear how much they've enjoyed them.

We were thrilled with Little Whisk Bakes and would highly recommend Amanda for any special occasion. Throughout the planning process, Amanda was communicative, responsive to questions, and always punctual. When it came to bringing our wedding cake vision to life, she absolutely nailed it. The final product was a true work of art - three beautifully decorated tiers with an amazing flavor profile. Our guests raved about how delicious the cake was - the chocolate and raspberry filling paired perfectly with the vanilla cake. Amanda's attention to detail and creative talent resulted in the tastiest cake I've personally ever enjoyed. Her customer service matches the quality of her baking. We felt she really cared about making our wedding cake special and memorable. Any couple would be lucky to have Amanda and Little Whisk Bakes be a part of their big day!
