If you need the most amazing photographers for your wedding... please, book this duo. Brett & Joanna are an incredible husband wife team. Brett is hilarious and so easy to get along with. Joanna gives direction well and again, is hilarious. Both communicate SO well and their passion for photography is inspiring. We felt more than comfortable with them along our entire journey!! Our photos are GORGEOUS and they truly captured the memories that we will remember forever. I must include a prime example of how in-tune these two are: I have a scar on my right arm that I am self conscious about and truthfully, it would have been a challenge for anyone to get around. However, our photos limited the number of times my scar was visible, if even at all. A truly unique touch that means so much. We will 100% be booking them to photograph all future events in our lives. I can't say enough about how incredible these two are. Worth every penny and then some!!!

AC Beauty Team 

5.0

  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 10
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Winthrop Harbor, IL

Angelica Chrysler is the owner/operator of AC Beauty Co., a professional destination/traveling licensed & insured beauty expert based out of three major cities, including Chicago, IL, Orlando, FL, and Nashville, TN. Angelica and her team have over 10 years of experience specializing in the wedding industry. They're an experienced, on-time, quick to respond, and always organized on-site bridal hair and makeup team that consists of only seasoned artists who connect with their clients on every level to create exactly what you need, accommodating all skin tones and hair textures.

I cannot recommend Angelica highly enough! She was an absolute dream to work with for my wedding day. From our initial consultation to the big day itself, her professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail were truly unmatched. Finding a great hair and makeup artist was extremely important to me since it can make or break your wedding photos. I don’t wear a lot of makeup in my everyday look so it was important for me to find an artist that would keep my makeup soft and glowy while also photographing well. Angelica took the time to understand my vision, perfectly blending it with her expertise to create a look that made me feel like the best version of myself. Angelica was also extremely flexible and understanding. During my trial, we planned big Hollywood waves and soft glam makeup. On my wedding day, I decided to change it up and go with an updo to better compliment my low back dress. She didn’t even question why I wanted to change it up. She truly made me feel so comfortable and confident. My hair and makeup stayed flawless throughout the day and night, despite it being an outdoor wedding in Florida along with all the dancing and happy tears! What stood out the most was her calming and friendly presence. On such an emotional day, having someone so kind and reassuring made all the difference. She even went above and beyond to make sure my mother, sister and mother in law looked stunning as well. She also brought along a content creator (with my permission) talk about having a full celebrity moment! If you’re looking for someone who will make you feel beautiful, confident, and stress-free on your special day, look no further than Angelica. She truly is exceptional at what she does!

I am Renae, the creator and photographer of City Savvy Imaging. Based in Chicago, I started Weddings in 2009. I have an undergraduate degree in photography and fine art from Illinois State University. I also have a Masters in Elementary Education. Photography has always been my passion. I took my first photography class in high school when dark rooms were still utilized. I continued my education in photography through college where I began photographing in digital as well as film. Fine art was a large part of my studies which plays a major roll in my photography as it enhances my use of color, light, composition and space.

Renae is a true pro!! We’d worked together in Chicago on a few things and then she travelled to our New Orleans wedding this year!! We will treasure these photos forever and can’t thank City Savvy Imaging enough for the best photos and easy process!

We came across Monu and the team while attending another wedding this past year, and at that time we knew we had to have them DJ our wedding! From the initial inquiry till the night of our reception, Monu and Maulin did everything they could to make sure the entire process would be as seamless as possible. Our reception was an unforgettable night for us! The dance floor was lit up the entire night and we honestly could have kept going for a few more hours with Monu playing all the right music. From the white vinyl floor, the 3 LED screens, lighting, the fog machine, and of course, the incredible music, CSE was able to provide us with everything we needed to make this night unforgettable for us.

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.

She had her special recipe for chocolate and vanilla cupcakes. In honor of Molly and as a way to help our kids and community, a portion of our profits is donated directly to schools in our community. Every time you eat a cupcake or sip a latte, you help our kids. So eat up!

We worked with Yaritza for arranging our wedding cake details and she was so amazing! The cake was a hit and so were the vegan cupcakes that we had for our vegan friends. Will definitely be thinking about this cake for years to come!!!
