Awarded Best of Zola
Elegante Cuisine is one of the higher end catering companies in the area, so this was a splurge for us, but one that we do not regret. Good food and good music are two of the biggest factors in the guest experience, so it was worth it to us. Our tasting was awesome; their menu options are extensive but all the dishes seemed to be executed perfectly. They had catered at our venue many times, and seemed highly competent. During and since the wedding, many of our friends and family have raved to us that it was the best food they’ve had at a wedding. Our entrees were the chicken asiago and the stuffed peppers (sooo good!). On the wedding day, Elegante staff took great care of us, even making sure we had hot, full plates and an assortment of our cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres ready when we entered the reception space. We worked with Trisha, who at times did not respond very effectively or efficiently to our questions/concerns/requests, but overall we are very happy with the services we received and us and all the guests were certainly well fed.

AC Beauty Team

  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 10
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Lake Villa, IL

Angelica Chrysler is the owner/operator of AC Beauty Co., a professional destination/traveling licensed & insured beauty expert based out of three major cities, including Chicago, IL, Orlando, FL, and Nashville, TN. Angelica and her team have over 10 years of experience specializing in the wedding industry. They're an experienced, on-time, quick to respond, and always organized on-site bridal hair and makeup team that consists of only seasoned artists who connect with their clients on every level to create exactly what you need, accommodating all skin tones and hair textures.

I cannot recommend Angelica highly enough! She was an absolute dream to work with for my wedding day. From our initial consultation to the big day itself, her professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail were truly unmatched. Finding a great hair and makeup artist was extremely important to me since it can make or break your wedding photos. I don’t wear a lot of makeup in my everyday look so it was important for me to find an artist that would keep my makeup soft and glowy while also photographing well. Angelica took the time to understand my vision, perfectly blending it with her expertise to create a look that made me feel like the best version of myself. Angelica was also extremely flexible and understanding. During my trial, we planned big Hollywood waves and soft glam makeup. On my wedding day, I decided to change it up and go with an updo to better compliment my low back dress. She didn’t even question why I wanted to change it up. She truly made me feel so comfortable and confident. My hair and makeup stayed flawless throughout the day and night, despite it being an outdoor wedding in Florida along with all the dancing and happy tears! What stood out the most was her calming and friendly presence. On such an emotional day, having someone so kind and reassuring made all the difference. She even went above and beyond to make sure my mother, sister and mother in law looked stunning as well. She also brought along a content creator (with my permission) talk about having a full celebrity moment! If you’re looking for someone who will make you feel beautiful, confident, and stress-free on your special day, look no further than Angelica. She truly is exceptional at what she does!

Wild Elegance

Hello hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Awarded Best of Zola
Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

Goodlove Arts was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding florals. From the start, Sherri was a great listener, receptive to my vision, and very detail-oriented. After our first chat about my vision for our wedding florals, she sent me a concept board through her website to show me flowers, colors, and examples to bring the "vibe" I was going for, and to seek my feedback to see if she was on track after our conversation. This helped me feel so at ease - From the start, I knew I was in the hands of a true professional. As we approached our wedding day, Sherri was instrumental in ensuring every detail would be executed perfectly. The beautiful, lush live florals Sherri designed truly brought the entire wedding theme, colors, and reception venue to life. When I share my wedding pictures, the first comment people make is, "THAT BOUQUET!" Goodlove Arts was instrumental in making our special day everything we had dreamed of.

I took my first photography class in high school when dark rooms were still utilized. I continued my education in photography through college where I began photographing in digital as well as film. Fine art was a large part of my studies which plays a major roll in my photography as it enhances my use of color, light, composition and space.

I developed a deep passion for photography when I was just 12 years old. Back then, capturing moments with my friends and family meant using Kodak Film, which was not as effortless as it is today.

From 2006 onwards, I have been professionally capturing the beauty of weddings and portraits. My photography style can best be described as honest, sincere, and intimate. I strive to capture the raw emotions and captivating moments that make each occasion unique.

Heyyy there! I’m Kiersten, the founder and creative force behind the lens. Born and raised in West Virginia, this beautiful state is what I call my home. I’ve developed a love for traveling across the United States, and I’m excited to expand my adventures internationally in December 2024. I’m passionate about capturing that best friend type of love—the real, raw, and candid moments that make your relationship unique. On your wedding day, my focus is on documenting your authentic selves, from those emotional first looks to cozy moments during golden hour. And I’m all about the pops of color!

Kiersten is amazing to work with. She makes her clients feel very comfortable during their session and knows how to capture the candid photos that everyone loves. Her attention to detail is unmatched and the time she takes to carefully edit every photo to make them flawless is appreciated. The memories captured will forever hold a place in the hearts of her clients all thanks to her!
