β€œWe can not recommend IG PHOTO VIDEO INC enough. We had Tetyana and Egidijus as our photographers and Irad as our videographer. We also were in contact with Ivan. He was extremely communicative throughout the entire process. From introducing us to Tetyana, Egidijus and Irad, How the process would happen from start to finish to getting our photos and videos back. The photos and video blew us out of the water. We are so in awe of the work and quality they put into our day. They were truly the best to work with from start to finish. The only thing is we have so many pictures I can not choose a favorite. (But that's a great problem to have) They truly captured my husband and I in our photos and videos and we are so blessed we came across their page. This company is 100 percent worth the money and we wouldn't have changed a single thing. You guys were amazing in person and in your work! You can definitely tell they love what they do by the work they produce. A huge thank you to Tetyana, Egidijus, Irad, and Ivan for helping make our day extra special and a day we can look back on in 50 plus years!”

They offer three different editing styles plus black and white, which I loved!

I’ll add a few photos in the three different styles so you can see the differences! They were easy to work with, professional, and made us feel comfortable the whole time.

A decade in professional theater. Nine years as a fine art street photographer. Now I shoot weddings. The theater taught me comfortβ€”how to help nervous couples relax and forget the camera. The street work trained my eyeβ€”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.

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.Β 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.

β€œFrom 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 β€”Nichole is your gal. Cannot recommend her and her team enough!”

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 magicβ€”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.

Hey! Aaron and Becka here! We are wedding photographers based in the North Suburbs of Chicago. We have three kids; Judah (4), Jane (2), and Dan (6 months). Being parents is one of the sweetest gifts we have ever been given! When we aren't doing photography or ministry, we are either going for hikes as a family, playing music together, working on updating our 200 year old house, or hanging out with friends! We both love the shooting side of photography, but when it comes to the admin and post-creative, that's where Becka takes over! So, if you reach out, she will be the one chatting with ya!

Awarded Best of Zola
β€œBecka and her team deserve 5/5 stars and all the love for how hard they worked with my husband and I throughout the pandemic.. Let’s go back all the way to the beginning of March 2020.. That’s where I met Becka for the first time.. (She met me in person, which I truly appreciated) right before well, COVID-19.. We were both a little hesitant of what was to come of this virus but it was SO early that neither one of us thought it would effect my wedding that was supposed to take place in the fall of that year.. Boy, were we in for a surprise.. Realizing in the summer that COVID-19 wasn’t going to go anywhere, we rescheduled our wedding for the following year. Unfortunately, Becka was already booked for the only day we could manage to reschedule our venue/church.. However, she saved the day by allowing her assistant photographers, Lauren & Michaela to take over… At first I was a bit nervous knowing Becka wasn’t going to be the one taking the wedding pictures (we loved our engagement photography session) but I trusted her, and I knew her standards were high so she wouldn’t just allow anyone to take the pictures under her name... And let’s just say, my husband and I were not disappointed! The assistant photographers did amazing, it even rained during the most crucial time of the wedding (in terms of photos) …The time after the ceremony! But despite this, the pictures came out absolutely stunning and our family/friends loved them.. All the details, all the unexpected β€œI didn’t know they captured that!” moments were there… Another thing I want to mention is the way Becka was able to help me schedule parts of the wedding and assist in the planning of when certain things are supposed to happen… As you can imagine, planning a wedding is stressful... Sometimes you don’t even know where to start! Becka helped me tackle this issue and streamline the day so it wouldn’t be as intimidating… With her schedule, I could now put together the pieces of the day and take a breath. Photos & logistics aside, everyone was also so sweet, patient and accommodating… So a big thank you to Becka, Lauren & Michaela for capturing our big day wonderfully. We will cherish these photos for a lifetime!”

We still act like lovestruck teenagers with each other, that same feeling we get from every newly engaged couple that we meet.

For weddings, I instinctively capture the event through the couple’s eyes. I shoot their story in a natural way.

β€œWorking with Esme Photography as a vendor partner has been consistently excellentβ€”they exceed expectations on every level. Their communication is prompt and stress-free, making collaboration seamless whether we're coordinating timelines or discussing event details. During portrait sessions, Esme's team gently guides couples and wedding parties with such calm professionalism that everyone stays relaxed and present, which genuinely makes a difference in the final images. What truly sets them apart is their eye for detail; they capture both the sweeping atmosphere and the subtle moments that make a day meaningful, showcasing every element in its best light. Esme and her team are always punctual and organized, reducing stress for everyone involved. I'd recommend them without hesitation to any couple looking for photographers who care as much about the experience as they do the final product.”

Warm, and emotive portraits showcasing authenticity is my first priority. I'm here not only to capture your precious moments but to be right by your side through such large life events. I'm based in Lake County, Illinois, and yes I love to travel! If you want me to photograph your story, it will require a travel fee, depending on where it takes place. But no worries, I always try to find the cheapest way to come.

β€œKailee Rei Photography was an exceptional choice for our wedding photographer. Kailee was prompt, kind, and calm in all of our communications leading up to the big day, putting us at ease through the planning process. On the wedding day itself, she impressed even my husband, who doesn't normally like having his photo taken. Kailee gave clear direction for portraits and efficiently wrangled our large groups for family photos, helping keep the day running smoothly. The quality of Kailee's work is simply amazing - we've received so many compliments on our wedding photos, which perfectly captured the joy and special moments of our celebration. We felt the exceptional images we received were well worth the value. I would highly recommend Kailee Rei Photography to any couple looking for a talented, professional wedding photographer.”

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.

β€œCarol 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.”

What started as a passion project turned into a full-blown mission to help people celebrate every moment like it matters- because it does! As a breast cancer survivor, I've learned how precious life and laughter really are. I assist in making magic with Valen Studios. I also run Sip & Snap Photo Booth so weddings are my specialty! It's not about the photos- it's about freezing the moments that matter. Thank you for letting me be a part of your celebration. I promise to bring the good vibes and amazing documentation of your day!

β€œDee’s photobooth is def a crowd pleaser! Everyone loves the party favor of a memory of the night! Dee is so engaging, asking so many questions beforehand so she shows up, sets up, and just goes! You don’t need to check in on her or anything. She brings props to match your event. Some of her stuff is so funny, it brings out the best in people. Her prices are fantastic, just let her know what your budget is.”
