Awarded Best of Zola
I was matched with Arie through what was called Tolman Media at the time. I had huge fears and reservations just having a photographer chosen for one of the biggest days of your life but Arie was spectacular. She helped me from the very beginning setting up a phone meet and great to discuss what was important to my husband and I. She then lit up the room with her personality and professionalism on our big day. She met everyone exactly where they were and made sure everyone felt comfortable. Our wedding pictures are absolutely perfect and I couldn’t have picked a better photographer myself! Thanks Arie!

Awarded Best of Zola
One of the most important decisions you’ll make during the wedding planning process is choosing the right planner and hiring Bell Bridal Co. was, hands down, the best choice I made! From the very beginning, she guided me through every step with expertise, care, and a clear vision. She turned what could have been an overwhelming experience into something enjoyable, seamless, and unforgettable. She brought my vision to life with such grace, professionalism, and attention to detail. I trusted her completely, and she exceeded every expectation. She was always two steps ahead, handling every little thing behind the scenes so I didn’t have to worry at all on my wedding day. When issues came up (because they always do), she handled them with such calm confidence, truly turning lemons into lemonade! What really stood out was how fiercely she advocated for me and my husband whenever vendors gave us a hard time. She always had our backs and made sure our voices were heard. She genuinely cares about her couples, and it shows in everything she does. I was also amazed by how seamlessly she directed over 100 of my family members for photos! So many guests came up to me to say how incredible she was. Bell Bridal Co. was more than a planner, she was my biggest support system, my problem-solver, and my calm in the chaos. I truly don’t know what I would’ve done without her, and I feel beyond lucky to have had her by my side throughout this journey!

I am a photographer and artist from the Pacific Northwest with Costa Rican and Scottish roots.

I have been fortunate to photograph 200+ weddings in my PNW home, to ruins in Scotland, cityscapes in Vietnam, to the beaches of Maui, and beyond! I live in Portland, Oregon with my two dogs and three cats | 🏳️‍🌈🦖⛰️✈️📸⚽🫶🏼🌈🌲🦕🏝 Fun Fact: I was born on Leap Year Day so I'm 9 years old 🥳!

Awarded Best of Zola
Leah photographed our wedding at my family's property in Napa Valley, June 2024. Leah took lots of time to scope out the location and seemed to be absolutely *everywhere* during the wedding, at all the right moments. I didn't have to call her over once, because she was already there. She captured the emotions of the day, the little moments, the big moments, and made our day look like the fairytale wedding that it felt like. Once we got the photo gallery back (so quickly!) we relived the day all over again. We were tearing up and laughing at all the photos. I felt like I was looking at photos from a Brides magazine, but it was me! Another thing I'll mention is that Leah gives direction in a kind, calm and encouraging way. My husband is not too confident in photos and he felt SO comfortable posing with her there, and loves his photos too! I felt like she could guide me into more flattering poses when I felt uncertain about my angles. I love Leah and her work and would recommend her to anyone!

  • Ceremony only
  • Serves Lovejoy, 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

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?

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.

Okyne Medialab is a contemporary wedding DJ business based in Austin, Texas and Chicago, Illinois. This entertainment company strives to bring a fresh perspective to the DJ industry. While still taking the lead on the night, these DJs will remain true to your vision and expectations.

Our guests still to this day rave about our music and DJ! We were extremely happy with Okyne Medialab, which was a referral from our wedding planner. (I always knew that I wanted a DJ compared to a band just because of personal preference of the type of music we like.) 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. DJ Alan came dressed to impressed to our black tie wedding and was professional, yet such a fun DJ! All of our must haves were played ( any songs from our do not play list were not played haha) and played right on time. (Timing is everything!!) I highly recommend Okyne Media Lab!!

Local to Colorado & native to Indiana I'm a photographer dedicated to helping couples bring their wedding vision to life. I believe that your love story is anything but boring, and your photos should reflect that. With 8 years of experience, I’ve captured clients through fun prompts and welcoming energy. 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

My fiancé and I had been doing all this research to find a photographer and our wedding was fast approaching. It was March and our wedding is in July. We came across Sara, found out that she would be moving to Colorado and was actually in Colorado until Friday morning (it was Wednesday night). We have a wonderful phone call just getting to know her and her business and decided to book her the next day. She worked promptly to make time to shoot our engagement photos even though it was her boyfriend’s mom’s birthday. We just got the photos the other day and they are stunning. They capture our hearts, emotion, and beauty! So glad that we booked Sara for our wedding day! We know her photography will be amazing!! She is fun and easy to work with, obviously experienced, and just personable and makes the whole experience more enjoyable!

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!!
