Carey Primeau Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,250
  • Serves Lake Barrington, IL

Carey Primeau has been documenting weddings for 20 years and provides a supportive roll with honesty and flexibility. With a friendly, creative and artistic perspective, Carey will help bring out the best in you.

Carey was everything we could have hoped for in a wedding photographer and more. He was punctual, professional, and completely on top of the timeline from the moment he arrived, which immediately put us at ease. What really stood out was how comfortable he made us feel throughout the entire day. Neither of us are naturally confident in front of a camera, but Carey gave clear, calm direction without ever making things feel stiff or overly posed. He was warm, easy to be around, and blended in seamlessly- capturing real moments as they happened while still making sure we got all the “must-have” shots. And the photos speak for themselves. The shots are stunning- beautiful lighting, thoughtful angles, and so much emotion captured in a way that feels true to us. He caught candid moments we didn’t even realize were happening, along with gorgeous portraits that look effortless. If you’re looking for a photographer who is reliable, talented, and genuinely makes the experience enjoyable, Carey is it. We would highly recommend him to anyone and would absolutely hire him again. Five stars all the way.

ABOUT BILL McNEELY I have been working in media for 35years. I developed my skills by volunteering in our ministry's media department as a videographer and photographer. I soon developed a love for media and went on to serve for 10 years as our church's network media director. Some of my personal favorite events to cover are weddings, but I love any chance to help create memories. I look forward to the opportunity to serve you!

I had a wonderful experience with Flash Media Groups’ photography services. The entire process was professional, smooth, and handled with great attention to detail. Communication was clear, timelines were honored, and the final product truly reflected quality work. The touch-ups were especially impressive—very natural, polished, and flattering without looking over-edited. It’s clear that care is taken to make sure clients still look like themselves, just enhanced in the best possible way. William McNeely clearly cares about his customers and their satisfaction. That level of customer care shows in how attentive, patient, and accommodating the service feels from start to finish. You can tell there is pride in the work and a genuine desire to make sure clients walk away happy. Overall, I highly recommend Flash Media Groups for anyone looking for professional photography with high-quality editing and excellent customer service.

DeAnda Photography

  • Serves Lake Barrington, IL

Hi, Im Carol DeAnda, born and raised in the southwest suburbs and now living in Lake in the Hills Illinois, with my studio in downtown Algonquin. I have always been the one with the camera since grade school, but it wasn't until high school I realized that this could be my calling. After high school, I attended Harrington College of Design for the Digital photography program and started on my path to becoming a professional photographer. I am a PPA member and CPP (Certified Professional Photographer) and hold the Master Wedding Photographer degree from PPA, as well as a member of The Wedding Equality Alliance.

Carol and her team are ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL when it comes to photography! The work is second-to-none, the professionalism is always consistent, and everyone is always so friendly! :) I have been working alongside Carol at weddings for several years now. As a DJ, it can be tough to communicate with vendors and make sure everyone is always ready to go. This is definitely not the case with Carol. I'm able to find her in a moment's notice and she's ready to capture those precious moments in an instant! Not to mention, her genuine love for her clients. Each and every couple that she works for she gives her all - and that not only shows on the day of an event, but also in her work. Carol and her team edit and produce SOME OF THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHY WORK I HAVE EVER SEEN. Seriously. If you haven't checked out her portfolio, do it now. Carol has an eye for not only capturing your ideas, but also the tiny details that no one else would ever think about. Do yourself a favor a book with Carol and her team.

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Awarded Best of Zola
Abby wasn’t able to travel to my wedding but she sent her assistants and she edited the photos. It went absolutely perfect. The photos were beautiful and I got so many meaningful photos with my family and his family that I wouldn’t have thought to get. I sent her draft of a timeline and the photographers printed it out and had it to make sure the photos I wanted got done. They were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much to Abby and her team.

I don't even know where to begin - Dani is simply amazing and if it were possible to give her a 10 star rating, I would. She not only captured my husband and I's intimate mountain top elopement, but her and Jed also followed us through out the rest of the day and photographed our reception that we held with family and friends. We are usually pretty awkward in front of the camera, but they made us feel so comfortable (even at 5am in the morning lol) and our photos prove it. Dani puts so much work into finding the perfect elopement locations and the most flattering lighting. My husband and I are BEYOND ecstatic with how our photos turned out - she captured who we truly are and how much love we have for each other. I can never thank them enough for how much work they put into our elopement and reception day. We are so happy to have these memories forever.

Jovan made my dreams happen for my wedding. She understood exactly the vibe I wanted for the environment and for the pictures and took pride in curating that. She felt like more than photographer on my wedding day with the great attention to detail and dedication to protecting my peace, She felt like a friend. She picked up very well on social situations that shifted and pivoted when others weren't being as flexible. She was very swift on the turn around for the preview gallery and communicated any hiccups She had along the way until the full gallery was available. I would and will choose her again for any family and life event photos, hope she enjoyed shooting for us because it wont be the last shes seen of me. To say the least she played a massive role in making my wedding day memorable.
