The Chicago Marriott Southwest at Burr Ridge was the perfect venue for our wedding reception. From the start, the team led by Lisa and Fabiola was incredibly communicative and responsive, which was especially helpful since we were planning the event from out of state. Once we arrived, they were extremely accommodating to any last-minute requests and made set-up a breeze. The staff was always kind and helpful throughout the entire process. And the presidential suite where we stayed was simply gorgeous - the perfect space for getting ready before and relaxing after our big day.

Justin and his team were so professional and calm under some challenging circumstances. It started raining when we were scheduled to do the shots with me and my bridal party but Justin had enough clear umbrellas for us to use which gave things a pretty classy feel that I can't imagine going any other way. I did catch a glimpse of all of my vendors at some point sitting down or taking a break in between segments of the day but I never saw Justin do that once. I can tell he is very passionate about what he does and he is quite the hype man! I would recommend him to anyone looking for a photography team who is not only down to earth but also so professional and detail oriented!

Widlet Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $895
  • Serves Wilmette, IL

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. Since then, photography has remained my true calling. In 2002, I pursued my love for journalism and photography by studying at the reputable Institute of LAINSPROCOM. 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.

Our experience with Widlet was amazing. He is such a fun photographer to be around. He is very professional and got the eye to catch the perfect shot. In overall we ended with BEAUTIFUL PICTURES. I would recommend him without a doubt.

The bartenders, wait staff, and coordinators provided incredible service, ensuring we didn't have to worry about a single thing on our special day.

For brides with a desire for minimal planning and a tight budget, we highly recommend considering Astoria, especially if booking in the off-season or on a Friday or Sunday. We got married at Astoria on a Sunday in February, and the price per person was a steal, especially since the venue included everything we needed aside from a DJ and photographer. Overall, Astoria Banquets and Events Venue provided us with the most beautiful wedding, all while keeping us well under budget. We are so grateful for their outstanding service and beautiful venue!!

Alyson served as our day-of coordinator in August of 2024, but she got to work well ahead of our big day.

She was on site with us for venue walkthroughs and established communication with our vendors ahead of time. She also checked in with us regularly to make sure we were on track. She was a bona fide problem solver, including helping our DJ sort out access issues with our venue, ensuring our guests didn’t walk through our aisle before the ceremony, and running across the street at the eleventh hour to buy eyelash glue. She even helped us bustle the wedding dress between the ceremony and reception when we couldn’t figure it out. We are really grateful for everything she did and we highly recommend working with her for your special day.

Cristina is too wonderful for words! She is an absolute joy to work with and her photos are beyond stunning. Neither my husband nor I have any idea what we’re doing in front of a camera, and Cristina could not have been kinder or more patient with us during both our engagement photos and wedding day. We brought along our dog for our engagement photos, and Cristina never batted an eye during his less-than-cooperative moments. She made the engagement photo session a complete breeze and so much fun from start to finish. Her partner, Constantin, joined for the wedding day, and they made the most incredible photography duo. They captured all the important moments and ensured that we got every last photo we wanted. They also handled corralling everyone for large family photos in an extremely timely and orderly fashion. They’re both so lovely, fun to work with, and take the most incredibly beautiful photos! I could not recommend Cristina (and Constantin!) more highly.

From the moment we booked Ryan Shephard for our wedding, he was incredibly responsive, quick to answer any questions, and made the entire process easy. On the day of the wedding, Ryan was exactly what we had hoped for - he seamlessly executed our special requests beforehand and took requests from our guests all night long. My husband and I had a very specific vision in mind for the music, and Ryan brought it to life perfectly. My guests raved about him. I cannot recommend Ryan Shephard enough - he was truly amazing and played a big part in making our wedding day so special.

Better 1/2 started in 2011 in the San Francisco Bay Area. In 2019, I relocated to Chicago. I've filmed about 30 weddings for couples with a range of venues and guest counts. What's consistent is my style, which is personal and beautiful. I tell each couple's wedding story in a tailor-cut video, highlighting the big moments and spotlighting the small ones.

I worked with Jenn at a wedding recently and loved everything about it. She’s caring, polite, funny, creative, respectful and joyful. Her final product was SO COOL…. Very original and unlike many of the wedding videos I have seen!!! I cannot wait to work with her again!!!!
