  • Serves Union, 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.

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,950
  • Serves Union, IL

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Highly recommended! I am a Chicago videographer who had the privilege of working alongside Jeremy. Whether it's a corporate shoot, headshots or wedding photography Jeremy and his team have you covered! He and his team are 100% committed to making you feel comfortable and at ease. Jeremy delivers top notch quality in his photography and his work speaks for itself. Creative surprise is apparent in his work. He is so professional but also so down to earth. He is kind, honest, creative and his work is superb. I would highly recommend hiring Jeremy and his team for your photography needs.

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!

DJ Fidel exceeded any expectations we had for our wedding. Every interaction and meeting with him before our wedding through the very end of our day was professional, fun, and done with excellence. DJ Fidel made sure what we wanted out of the day was achieved. Guests have had nothing but great things to say about our DJ. Even the people DJ Fidel interacted with at dinner and throughout the day have let us know what an "awesome guy" he is and how much they enjoyed getting to talk with him.

  • Serves Union, IL

My photography style is timeless, natural, light, and effortlessly real. My goal has always been to capture moments as they genuinely unfold — not forced or overly posed, but full of emotion and authenticity. From the very beginning of my wedding photography journey, I set out to tell honest love stories — the quiet glances, the joyful tears, the belly laughs, and all the in-between magic. The more experience I gain, the deeper my passion grows. Every wedding reminds me why I love what I do.

Lavita Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very first interaction, their communication was efficient, kind, and dependable. They have a truly unique style that captured all the special moments of our big day. The quality of their work was amazing - they were so appreciative and passionate about getting the perfect shots. Lavita Photography was worth every penny, and I'm so glad we chose them. Lavita ensured I got all the shots I needed, and was very detailed, even arriving early to prepare. As someone who worries a lot about trust for such an important occasion, I knew Lavita would be the best choice after they shot us in their studio for our wedding invitations. They work with all body types and made me feel and look beautiful. I even got some of the photos framed, they turned out so well!

I was always kept in the loop on the status of my order and when to expect the next step. Bupp Woodworks & Designs truly went above and beyond to make sure a piece of our special day will be preserved. I highly recommend them to any couple looking for a great flower preservation vendor.

Your wedding story, captured through real, effortless connection. The most beautiful images happen when you feel comfortable enough to be yourself. From booking to your last dance, I make sure you feel at ease, supported, and excited. My style is soft, emotive, and rooted in candid magic—the quiet glances and unprompted laughter. I let genuine emotion lead the way rather than stiff, rehearsed poses. Weddings can be a whirlwind, but sessions with me feel relaxed and fun, like spending time with an old friend. Come as you are, bring your love, and I will preserve the big milestones and everyday magic you’ll want to remember forever.

I found Enerel Photography through a Facebook group and was immediately drawn to her portfolio. She was newer to wedding photography, but her rates were so reasonable that I decided to take a chance on her—and I'm so glad I did. From our first conversation, she was responsive and thoughtful about every detail of our day. On our wedding day, she showed up prepared and on time, and it was clear how much care she put into capturing our moments. Her photos turned out beautiful and elegant, with a soft, creative style that perfectly matched what we envisioned. She absolutely exceeded my expectations and delivered exactly what we hoped for.

I believe your ceremony should reflect who you are — culturally, spiritually, and personally. As a trilingual officiant, I offer ceremonies in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, whether in one language or a meaningful blend of all three. Whether you envision something romantic, spiritual, or secular, I’ll help craft a celebration that feels authentically yours. I’m happy to discuss your preferences — whether we connect in person or virtually via FaceTime, WhatsApp, or Google Meet.

Mylene is fantastic to work with! She officiated my husband and I’s small bilingual ceremony in October, and it was wonderful. She was very professional and responsive throughout our wedding planning process and allowed us to customize our ceremony to our own preferences. I highly recommend Mylene to anyone looking for a wedding officiant!

I cannot recommend Mel enough! She did an incredible job with our wedding hair. She was able to create so many different styles for my bridal party. From intricate updos to hollywood waves, every single one of them looked stunning and stayed completely intact all day and night. She is talented, professional, and a joy to work with on your big day! Photo Credit to Madison Kristine Photography
