We booked Well Told Weddings for our photographer and I would book them again! Sal was our photographer, he did a wonderful job, was so much fun and the photos turned out fantastic. He was on time and made sure to check if we had any other photos we wanted to capture before the end of the night. We booked with Steve, who was great to work with and the communication was spot on. I’ll let the photos speak for themselves!

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.

The touch-ups were especially impressive—very natural, polished, and flattering without looking over-edited.

DeAnda Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,585
  • Serves Vernon Hills, 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.

My name is Elliot Stokes and I am a photographer located in the Madison, WI area, but I work all across Wisconsin and Illinois. I have been drawn to the camera since I was young, but becoming a father has really shown me the magic behind capturing the most candid and beautiful moments of our lives. I started my journey into professional photography officially in the summer of 2019 and received my Bachelors of Fine Arts degree with honors in Digital Photography in the spring of 2022. I absolutely love what I do and look forward to every new experience and opportunity this journey takes me on!

Awarded Best of Zola
Elliot was amazing to work with for our engagement photos and wedding photos. He showed up on time and was ready to go. He was very easy to work with and came prepared with everything. He gave us a 30 minute warning before his time was up and asked if we wanted any other specific photos. He gave direction and guided us through our wedding photos. He was flexible when our wedding timeline needed to be adjusted. He did a great job with delivering our sneak peak photos within 2 days of our engagement photos and wedding photos. I am so in love with our wedding sneak peaks. I can't wait to see the rest of them. I cannot recommend him enough. I will definitely work with him again in the future!

Oh my gosh, where do I even start with Eternal Vistas? Bhanu captured our wedding with such effortless brilliance, it’s like he was everywhere at once, soaking up every moment without ever intruding. From the mariachi band hyping up the crowd to our families tearing it up during the tarantella dance, he got it all—and made it look like a movie! The candid shots are our absolute obsession: there’s one of my abuelita throwing her head back laughing, and another of my husband sneaking a kiss during the chaos of the reception. Those photos burst with so much love and energy, we can’t stop staring. Bhanu made us feel like we were the only couple in the universe, and that kind of care is rare. Eternal Vistas is pure magic, y’all.

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.

On the day of the wedding, they made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and managed to capture every special moment so beautifully—both the big highlights and the candid little in-between shots that mean so much. The photos are absolutely stunning !!! timeless, romantic, and filled with emotion. Every time we look at them, we’re transported right back to that day. Our friends and family can’t stop raving about how gorgeous the pictures turned out! Beyond their talent, what really stood out was how seamlessly they blended in with our guests while still capturing every angle. It honestly felt like they were everywhere at once without ever being intrusive.

Dani (Elle & Co Photography) has an art of being professional while also being laid back and understanding. We had a lot of things pop up on our wedding day and Dani knew how to take charge and keep things going but she has a safe energy and made everyone in our group feel super comfortable. She was a great addition to our day! Not to mentioned was very accommodating to what we’ve wanted and our photos are actually pieces of ART. I cannot believe how amazing our photos turned out. I had a dream of having head turning wedding photos but I wasn’t confident I was capable of having them because I don’t know to pose or act in front of the camera and Dani made it happen for us. We are so happy with our photos and will be bugging Dani for years to come to continue to capture us.

I cannot put into words just how instrumental Lauren and her team were to our wedding day. I truly do not think it would have been possible without her. In case you need convincing, here are the top 10 reasons why you should have hired LAR Photography for your wedding yesterday: 1) (the most obvious reason) She is a genius behind the camera. She has a true talent for finding the beauty in every moment and capturing it. 2) She has a knack for making getting your picture taken not feel awkward, something we were very afraid about as people who don't often find themselves in front of a camera. 3) She has a wonderful team of people behind her. Shout out to Jared and Ashley as our second shooter and day-of coordinator respectively! 4) She goes above and beyond to make sure the final product is perfect (ie: color correcting every picture for my beautiful, wonderful maid of honor who unfortunately ordered the wrong color dress). 5) She is an expert on all things weddings. Lauren was the one who answered most of our wedding questions throughout the year-long process. This was not limited to photography questions. She knows how weddings work and gave us invaluable information about our timeline, our rehearsal, coordinating with other vendors, and the logistics of set up and tear down. 6) With Lauren, we felt like we were her only clients. Whenever we had a question, Lauren answered. She truly spent hours with us on the phone during the planning process. 7) On the wedding day, she is not just a photographer. Her and her team took care of literally everything that went wrong. They handled decor that broke. They made sure everyone in the wedding party was taken care of. Lauren even bustled my dress on when my mom and I couldn't figure it out. 8) Lauren is dedicated to her craft and her client's vision. We tasked her with taking a group picture that included every guest at our wedding. Was she too short to do this? Yes. Did she stand on a chair to get the shot anyway? Also yes. 9) The sheer volume of pictures that we got back from our wedding is outstanding. We have hundreds. During our first look through, we saved pictures that really stood out as favorites. We ended up adding 121 pictures to that favorites album. 10) Lauren is just an amazing person. She is dependable, professional, dedicated, compassionate, flexible, and a powerhouse behind the camera. We are so glad we found her.
