Ayla knew exactly when to step-in, how and handled so much for us. We knew we’d both get pretty drunk so we counted on her to handle pretty much everything day-of. When I tell you she knew when to feed us, who to talk to, how to set things up….our day was absolutely perfect! We also had no idea where our vow books ended up (that was before we started drinking) and she mailed them to us, which was such a sweet surprise. Ayla and her team were great!

  • Ceremony only
  • Serves Hettick, IL for additional fees

By the time she was three years old, Olivia Claggett was asking for a harp teacher. At six years old, she began taking piano lessons with Jean Wonders, and at eight she began Suzuki harp lessons with professional harpist, instructor, and adjudicator Candyce Dunham. She never looked back after her first lesson in October 2007. During her many years as a student, Olivia continued to push herself musically by competing in numerous competitions winning the annual Buckeye Christian School Organization’s spring competition for five consecutive years.

Awarded Best of Zola
Olivia played the harp at our wedding 9/1/2024 and did a wonderful job. It was the perfect added piece to our ceremony. She played before (while our guests and bridal party were getting seated/lining up), during (when my dad and I walked down), and after (when our guests exited) the ceremony and the music was just beautiful and peaceful. I met with her a few weeks prior to pick out the music we wanted and she had a lot of different songs/varieties to choose from. She was very responsive and showed up on time (which meant a lot being a bride). We couldn’t have asked for better music to be played for our wedding and our guests loved it/her too. We highly recommend her as a harpist for your wedding.

If you're the kind of couple that would prefer their photographer feel like one of the guests as opposed to a paparazzi, and if when the neighbors complain about the noise, you just invite them to the party, keep reading. I take a documentary-style approach to my weddings. Roaming with a camera, I capture the candid moments and small details that make your wedding unique to you, while making sure to set aside time for a few special portraits.

Steph is a wizard, ninja, and a unicorn all rolled into one. From the minute we reached out to her she immediately made us know we were in good hands. She was clear, communicative, and professional, but every time we talked it still felt like talking to an old friend. (Several of our guests assumed that she WAS an old friend of ours who happened to be a photographer — that’s how warm and chill she is.) Ahead of time she was great about getting details of exactly what we wanted, so that on the big day she just slipped in and out seamlessly without pulling us away from the fun. She was also careful to figure out exactly what we wanted the vibes of the final product to be (candid, colorful, joyful) and she delivered in spades. The finished products are beautiful and were delivered quickly (both the digital copies and the physical prints we ordered). We cannot recommend her highly enough!

Hello, future clients! I am honored that you are viewing my passion and interested in who I am! I always aim to photograph people in the most beautiful spots around NWA! I have loved all forms of art and had a passion for it, since I was a child! I bought my first camera (small red Kodak) when I was 11, and I have been photographing anything and everything ever since! I have since upgraded my camera equipment, if you can't tell, and I would love the chance to photograph you and everyone you know and love! I can't wait to be a part of and capture your most special moments!

Ohmygoodness! I loved the pictures from our engagement photo shoot! Literally obsessed with the pictures of my fiancé and I. Danielle has been great to work with! Very flexible! We were running late to the photo shoot by a bit, we weren’t familiar with the area. Danielle gave us the whole time and I’m pretty sure more time till we were satisfied. It was a cold day, so we didn’t want to be out there for much longer. While she took our pictures she gave some prompts for posing and things to say to each other to help us look more natural. The direction helped us. Also, we were able to negotiate with her about what we were wanting for our wedding package. I’m so happy that we found her and decided to book with her. Thank you so much Danielle! I feel like we can really trust you with our special day to bring your positive and calming presence to make the photography go smoothly the day of our wedding! We are looking forward to our wedding and your amazing pictures!

When I was a kid all I wanted to be was a photographer (or a vet) and in 2019 o my husband gave me that opportunity. I left my corporate job to pursue my passion. I started a pet sitting business AND a photography business at the same time and I think it's safe to say that right now I am living the dream. I have three beautiful cats and a wonderful husband who supports me in whatever I do.

Living my best life in suburban Maryland. I love art and being creative, so photography just seemed like the next step after being an actor for 15 years. Storytelling is a HUGE part of my life- whether it’s sitting around the dinner table recounting funny memories or looking at old photographs of my own family. Some of the best stories in the world were told without words. I am a D&D, gaming, and SQL nerd, I have a newfound love of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and I am a proud plant mom. Never been married before? I'm here to hold your hand.

LMM Photography is incredible. She's down-to-earth and proactive. She's affordable and creative. She's perfect. Hire her, you will be amazed! She made planning easy and fun. She was always available when I had questions or ideas. When it came to the big event I almost forgot she was there to take photos. She was so diligent and helped me avoid the major bridal stress. She even saved our wedding photos! A bridesmaid had a major issue with bridesmaid dress and waited until the day of the wedding to let me know. So on the big day I was doing alterations, which pushed me back by hours. I tried really hard not to let it upset me (because things happen) and I thought I had missed doing the getting ready photos--little did I know that LMM was doing her thing while I was trying not to panic because I was surprised when I received my wedding photos to see that she also took some of THE BEST getting ready photos. Not to mention, because she took initiative, she put me back on track and I literally got to the ceremony on time! I was so grateful, I cried when I finally got to see the photos knowing that someone had actually captured those memories. I have now hired her for SEVERAL photography sessions, and I will continue to do so! Thank you, Laura!!

With international experience, I believe every couple deserves a personalized approach. I’ll take the time to understand your vision, plan every detail, and ensure your wedding memories are beautifully preserved for you to relive forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
As someone who has a tendency to over think everything, I was initially very overwhelmed with finding a photographer. Linda was amazing. I reached out for information and within a few hours (honestly I think it was within the hour) I had a full break down of pricing, expectations, availability, and a follow up of making sure I had access to see some work before booking. Within a day, we had our contract worked out and a meeting scheduled to go over any missing details. Day of the wedding, she was prompt, full of ideas, and worked with the flow of the day seamlessly. Even when I received photos (faster than expected!) I could tell she left the wedding and was already working on photos based on a few time stamps I caught in files. I was sent a link to a beautiful gallery and got to cry all over again reliving the day. She even made to follow up that there were no issues with the link and if everything was to my liking. 10/10 would ABSOLUTELY recommend!! I cannot wait to have these photos on display in my home and loved for years to come!

She understood how important these photos were to me, especially since I was wearing my late grandmother’s ring, which holds immense sentimental value. Emma managed to capture not only the beauty of the dress and the setting but also the emotions and memories tied to this moment. She has an incredible eye for detail and lighting, and the photos are a perfect blend of candid and posed shots that reflect our personalities and relationship beautifully. The final images are more than just pictures; they are timeless keepsakes that we will cherish forever.

MA & CA Your wedding isn’t just a sequence of events—it’s a mix of energy, quiet pauses, and the moments in between that hold the most meaning. You want a photographer who sees the unscripted, the unfiltered, and the unexpected—the things that make your day yours. I work with couples who value nostalgia, emotion, and a little edge in their wedding story. The ones who want their photos to feel like them—unposed, unforced, and unrepeatable. Whether it’s the weight of a glance, the rush of the dance floor, or the way your hands find each other in the middle of it all, every image is a keepsake of your story—without trends, AI edits, or formulas

When an unexpected situation required a substitute photographer, Justina quickly found a great alternate photographer, shared every details for a smooth transition, and still completed all processing and editing. This led to us receiving a stunning gallery of photos. We couldn't have asked for a more communicative and valuable photography team to be a support our special day!

Al hosted multiple calls us, was a phone call away with any questions, and then even attended our final walk through to determine speaker locations and overall plan. Leading up to our wedding at the Chicago History Museum, we felt confident that Okyne would execute our vision and they most certainly did.

I’m not gonna lie I’m a strong believer in truly connecting with my client. Yes I send ‘<3’ in my emails. Yes I’d love to fan girl over your wedding deets with you! Mimosas? Coffee? I’m down

I found Alexa on the Knot and booked her for Monarch’s full wedding planning package as my husband & I were planning a wedding outside of Chicago in an unconventional venue, 9 months away, and lived in another state. It was a big challenge but from the initial consultation, we loved Alexa’s energy, organization, commitment and just knew we could trust her with our once in a lifetime event. The planning process was extremely organized, thorough and well-paced. She matched my attention to detail, tackled unplanned challenges with ferocity (which included a limited selection of vendors given the location of our venue) and was as dedicated to bringing my very specific vision to life as I was. She brought great vendor recommendations and connections and did countless hours of research on new vendors. Details were well-documented and thoroughly discussed to ensure all parties were aligned. Even though our venue was farther outside Chicago (Indiana), she ran several venue walkthroughs in-person, attended vendor visits with me, and always accommodated my husband and I’s busy schedule. As Alexa started to step away for her maternity leave (which started right before our wedding date), she did an amazing job ensuring her team was fully prepared to handle last minute preparations and day-of responsibilities. The day-of team of 3 were awesome with completely handling all details A-Z so I didn’t have to worry about anything, even despite some last minute changes due to weather! Due to the complexity of our venue, its location, short timeline, and being from out-of-state, we are SO GLAD we booked Monarch for their full planning package and had the privilege of working with Alexa! It was sincerely our pleasure to have her bring our special day to life, she was a joy to work with and get to know. If I were getting married again, I’d book her services again no question! Thank you Alexa!!

My wife and I chose Yae's Eats & Catering LLC to cater our reception, and we could not have been happier with the results. From the moment we reached out to Anyae and her wonderful staff, they were responsive and accommodating throughout our entire journey. We had the opportunity to taste their product before our special day, and from there we knew we made the right choice. The food served at the reception came in great portions, and it had people coming back for seconds. Our guests were so satisfied with the food, they took to-go plates! The Herb Roasted Chicken was delightful. The Mac & Cheese was incredible. The Herb Roasted Salmon was excellent. The food had its way of making you feel like you were eating at home, with the top-tier quality that you would want at any major event. Working with Yae's Eats & Catering LLC was worth every penny, and more. It was a pleasure to have their product at our event, and I highly recommend future newlyweds to do the same.

Photography truly has a full grip on my soul– I love EVERYTHING about capturing special moments to be forever held in time! I consider my style to be way more candid, as I truly adore capturing an authentic experience that is almost tangible to the person viewing the photo. I want the viewer to feel the emotion and as if they were there with us right back in that moment. I love realness of a perfect candid shot…my goal—especially with couples—is to get to the heart of their connection and connect with my couples, as well, to truly make them feel comfortable in front of the lens so that we can get to those authentic magic shots!

We had the best experience with Shannon on our wedding day! She was very communicative before hand and the day of was ran very smoothly. She made us all feel very comfortable and stress free. She provided us an awesome sneak peek shortly after our wedding and the online gallery within the promised time frame. Her work is beautiful and exactly what we could have hoped for! Her services are also very affordable and customizable to what you desire or can afford. I would highly recommend!!
