I would recommend JZ Studio Photography to anyone getting married! Phillip was very professional and communicative and was able to get through posed pictures very quickly and efficiently, and he was incredible at blending into the crowd for the rest of the day so we could feel present at our wedding, and not feel like we were at a photoshoot. We are very happy with our experience with JZ Photography.

Nichole Babiez Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Mundelein, IL

I am a midwesterner, born and raised in the burbs north of Chicago who strives to capture moments that are gone in a second, impossible to reproduce, but with the help of an artist touch, can last a lifetime. I'm here to connect with you, listen to you, create with you, and provide a stress-free, comfortable atmosphere from start to finish. 3 things about myself, I have 3 dogs (yes, its crazy LOL), I am in loveee with Target, and coffee and mango froyo are my love languages.

From the moment I came across Nichole’s work, I knew she was the one I wanted to capture our engagement & wedding photos and she exceeded every expectation. Even though she was already booked for our wedding date, I was lucky enough to book through her associate package, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Nichole brought our vision to life during our engagement shoot, perfectly capturing both the moody vibes at the bar where we met and the classic Chicago lakefront shots. She made the entire process feel so personal and fun, despite us typically being horrendously awkward in front of a camera. On the big day, we had Kyle and Alexi as our photographers, and it truly felt like we had two extra friends with us. They were relaxed, kind, incredibly professional, and knew how to roll with whatever came their way. Our photos are stunning and truly reflect the joy, emotion, and beauty of our day. And as if all that wasn’t enough, Nichole surprised us by showing up toward the end of our reception! She is the ultimate hype woman and such a genuinely thoughtful person. If you're looking for a photographer who not only delivers incredible photos but also genuinely cares about you, your story, and your vision —Nichole is your gal. Cannot recommend her and her team enough!

  • Starts at $55

Dreaming of the perfect Wedding First Dance? We take pride in helping our couples make that dream true. Your wedding day and first dance are the most wonderful moments in life that you will remember forever. Whether you are looking for a sophisticated, fun, or mash up dance, we will make sure to customize it both to your needs and desires and to the song and dance style of your choice. We also specialize in Father-Daughter, Mother-Son, & Bridal Party dances, and general dancing for the reception. Send us a note today with additional questions or to book your First Introductory lesson with one of our fantastic professional dance instructors!

We found Lake Shore Dance Academy about 2 years ago in a total panic. With only six weeks until our wedding and zero dance experience between us, the thought of performing in front of a crowd was terrifying. In just a few short weeks, Anna managed to take us from absolute beginners to confidently nailing a fun Rumba that completely shocked our friends and family! Apparently, the chaos of our wedding dance wasn't enough to deter us, because 2 years later, we are still at it with Anna. Since that first dance, she has continued to push us out of our comfort zones in the best ways possible. We’ve progressed from wedding prep, to performing a fully-costumed Viennese Waltz showcase, to recently completing our third official dance competition! Dance has added so much to our lives. For me as someone who works from home as a software developer, it’s the perfect physical outlet to disconnect from stress. For my wife, it has been an incredible boost to confidence and self-expression. Most importantly, it’s given us a shared goal and a fun way to connect and problem-solve as a couple. Anna has a fun and light hearted personality yet manages to strike an effective balance of making lessons challenging, yet effective and rewarding. Whether you just want to survive your wedding dance or you want to eventually hit the competition floor, we can't recommend Lake Shore Dance Academy enough. We look forward to continuing our dance journey for years to come!

Ken transformed our wedding into an unforgettable celebration. His ability to keep the energy high for every guest was truly impressive. The dance floor stayed packed even after the wedding had ended and the venue was wrapping up. He handled all the music and microphones from the pre-ceremony through the reception, which was awesome. We didn’t have to worry about renting any equipment because he came fully prepared with everything we needed for the entire day. From the moment the dance floor opened, Ken had the dance floor packed. He played a fantastic set of songs that everyone knew and loved, ensuring that no one was left sitting out, but also had no lulls in the energy of the night. His knack for reading the crowd and playing the right songs at the right time kept people dancing all night long. One standout feature was the music videos he played on the screen of his dj booth. This was a nice touch, especially for those who might have felt a bit shy about hitting the dance floor. It allowed everyone to enjoy the ambiance, whether they were dancing or simply watching and singing along. Ken also excelled as an emcee. He smoothly directed the flow of activities, ensuring that transitions between different parts of the evening were seamless. One of the highlights of the night was the group photo he organized. Ken took the initiative to gather everyone for a memorable photo op, which turned out to be a fantastic keepsake for everyone at the wedding. The moving photo booth was another hit. Ken's assistant, Chris, walked around with a camera attached to a ring light in order to capture both candid and posed shots. Guests who were dancing or lounging at their dinner tables could easily join in the fun of a photo booth, as it came right to them. Ken allowed my sister (the maid of honor) to use his dj booth for a slideshow during her speech, which was an exciting surprise for me (the bride) and all our guests. He was overall very patient with all our requests and even shared edits of the songs for the first dances, making sure everything was just right before the big day. Ken did a fantastic job making our wedding a night to remember. His skills as a DJ and his flexible approach really made a difference in making our day perfect. If you want someone who will help your entire event go smoothly and keep the party going, Ken is definitely a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!

Awarded Best of Zola
Reverend Dave did an incredible job officiating our wedding! He felt more like a friend of the family rather than an officiant we found online. From the beginning he met with me and my now husband to get to know us, learn our love story, and our overall style as a couple. This led to him helping us develop an amazing ceremony that centered around and highlighted our love story and what matters most to us including our love for each other, our family, and our friends. His sense of humor and banter with our bridal party was an added bonus that broke the ice with everyone and made for funny stories to tell! We got married on May 23rd, 2026. Dave coordinated so well with our DJ and our venue to put the ceremony on and make it run so smoothly. After our ceremony, we got SO many compliments about how beautiful the ceremony was and how they loved hearing our story and Reverend Dave’s style and delivery. We also got complimented on how smoothly it went with the schedule for the night and that was also thanks to Dave! He also made sure to take a selfie with us after the ceremony (pictured below) which is just another example of how fun he is to work with! We are so happy we went with Dave for our wedding ceremony and we are so grateful for all of the work he put in. We would absolutely recommend working with him to any couples getting married in the future!

We had our wedding at Bluestem Farm in Illinois, and it was absolutely amazing from start to finish. We received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful the venue was — it truly speaks for itself. The entire setup made the day feel fun, relaxed, and incredibly special. One of our favorite parts was the flexibility to choose all of our own vendors, which allowed us to really personalize our day. At the same time, Bluestem provided a list of fantastic recommended vendors, which made planning so much easier. Choosing Kelly, the owner, as our day-of coordinator was hands down one of the best decisions we made. She ensured everything ran smoothly and handled anything that came up behind the scenes so we could be fully present and enjoy every moment. We never had to worry about a thing. We genuinely wish we could go back and do it all over again. We couldn’t recommend Bluestem Farm more highly!

A decade in professional theater. Nine years as a fine art street photographer. Now I shoot weddings. The theater taught me comfort—how to help nervous couples relax and forget the camera. The street work trained my eye—finding extraordinary frames in ordinary moments, chasing light like it owes me money. The result: signature portraits that feel like paintings and a shoot that feels like hanging out with a friend. 300+ weddings. 151+ five-star reviews. A 10-photographer team. Zero cookie-cutter work. Camera-shy? Creative? Both? Let's talk.

We used Jaide and Co. Bridal Artistry for my August 2025 wedding, and I couldn’t have been happier with the results! Emily was our makeup artist for the big day, and she did an incredible job. She took her time with each person, making sure everyone felt beautiful and confident in their makeup. Not only was the quality amazing, but their services were also very affordable, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Jaide and her team were also so communicative and flexible throughout the whole process of booking to the wedding date. I absolutely loved my bridal look! When I had my makeup trial with Emily back in March, I wasn’t entirely sure what style I wanted. The trial look was beautiful, but I realized it didn’t quite feel like “me.” On my wedding day, I showed Emily a new inspiration photo, and I completely trusted her to bring it to life, even though we hadn’t tried it before. She absolutely nailed it and I can truly say that I have never felt more beautiful!

I have short curly hair and wasn't sure if I could find a hairstylist who could really work with my hair length. Thankfully, "I want to accentuate my natural curls" is a phrase Melissa loves hearing from brides. After the trial, I immediately fell in love with her idea of how to style my hair for my wedding. The process felt very collaborative, right down to her asking which hair pins I wanted and where we should set up the station for styling my hair on the day of. On the day of my wedding, I felt stunning and had curls that lasted all day.

Wild Onion Brewery and Banquets is a rustic wedding venue located in Lake Barrington, Illinois. It is truly a unique one-of-a-kind destination. The Great Hall was built in 2006 with a clear vision of unparalleled beauty that would invoke a sense of architectural awe and serenity. It is anchored by a large timber frame cathedral ceiling that overlooks a beautiful 11-acre lake. Our private lake is surrounded by wildflowers and a cascading waterfall, which flows outside the room and past a cantilevered patio. Your guests can enjoy a champagne toast under a canopy of bistro string lights with the sweet sound of flowing water. We believe a wedding venue should be as unique as your special occasion. Thanks to their on-site brewery, guests can enjoy their highly-acclaimed craft beer. Additionally, whether outdoor or indoor, this venue provides food and catering services, including the most delicious cakes and desserts.

Jerry and his crew made out wedding day incredible! They helped run the whole day, they got the guests seated, kept everything on schedule, and ensured that Ben and I didn't have to worry about anything. When our flowergirl got stage-fright right before walking down the aisle, Jerry swooped in to save the day and helped her find her mom. We initially didn't plan to do a grand entrance into the reception, but Jerry and the DJ (Megan from Music that Moves) made one happen last-minute so our flower girl could have a second shot ar throwing her petals. You're not just getting a venue at Parkway, you're getting a whole team who will make your event run smoothly. If we ever do a vow renewal or anniversary party, we will be back!

Hey there! Kataryna here. Thanks for checking out my work. I never thought that I would have the opportunity to meet you and everyone else that I have throughout my photography journey. I started photography in high school and fell in love with all that my camera and I could do. In my college years at the University of Iowa, I was able to strengthen my photography skills by taking an internship with a wedding company. Shortly after graduation, I moved back to the Chicago suburbs and began growing my business. A few years later, and I am extremely grateful for everything I have been able to accomplish. ​

Meraki Salon made my wedding day above and beyond! To be able to recreate a picture of someone else’s work and add your own touch at the end of all of it and have your hair and makeup last through tears, smiling, dancing and sweating all night is outstanding! To look like you did hours before saying I do to your soulmate as you are starting to get ready for bed is something not many salons can say they have perfected but this salon gave me everything I ever dreamed of! This salon is worth it all!! This salon will not let you down!!
