The flowers were less expensive than real flowers but looked just as stunning, and they were photographed beautifully. The little care cards and stickers they included for our bridal party were such a thoughtful touch. We couldn't have been happier with the quality and value of For Keeps Floral's work - they truly nailed our theme. We highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding!

Time capsule films for memory collectors. Our ability to capture and preserve some of our most pivotal life moments really is a gift. Every film is intended to act as a time capsule for my couples to re-live in 25 years.

Kyrie was amazing from start to finish! From our introduction call I knew she was such a great fit for us and would match our energy and sass that we thrive on, on our special day. She’s your best hype girl and absolutely will get your partner out of their shell if one of you is camera shy. My husband hates being in front of a camera and Kyrie got some of the BEST shots and scenes we’ve ever had of him, and we’ve been together almost nine years now. I would see Kyrie again in a heartbeat just to hang out if she’s ever in our neck of the woods of Oregon. Our video is so special and including the pre and post ceremony interviews and family interviews was such an amazing treat we’ll cherish forever.

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

Jarrod did an amazing job on our wedding day! We were so very grateful to have him there with us.

We were thrilled with our flowers from Anthology on Main! Katie is a true artist. Her suggestions were excellent and workmanship beyond belief. The entire order was perfect. My beautiful bouquet sits in a vase on my desk and I still enjoy it every day.

Visual Reflection Video

  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Ava, IL

Any talented wedding videographer can create a romantic cinematic wedding film of your wedding but there's so much more to a wedding day than that. While we craft our videos around the love you share, the fun you have when it's just the two of you as well as the celebration with your family and guests is what really makes each story so unique. So, as you'll notice in the examples above, no two wedding highlight videos are the same. We do our best to customize each wedding video we create to fit the couple we're working with as well as the flow of the wedding day, which will allow you to relive your day the way that it actually happened!

Gordon is a talented videographer and editor! He filmed our wedding day and really captured our relationship, our personalities, and the emotions we had on our big day. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve cried happy tears watching our teaser video and our full highlight video. Gordon provides so many options for your video package too, which was a big win for us. He was so great to work with on our wedding day and even encouraged us to embrace the rain for our sparkler exit. I would highly recommend Gordon to film your wedding day. His talent shines in all of his videos! - Rachel and Adam, June 8, 2024 Waldenwoods

As a Media Company, 505 Media Co always tries to capture genuine emotions. When we capture a wedding. We have the unique opportunity to freeze that moment in time. This is a priceless treasure a couple can cherish for the rest of their lives.

I had my wedding in November 2023, and working with 505 was like a DREAM. I got a package that allowed me to work with a video and photo team, and I also had a day-of coordinator. Krystal was my coordinator, and she was incredible!! She was super friendly and bubbly, but also extremely professional. Working with her and her team was such a smooth process; they were quick communicators, I always got a response back quickly, and I never felt uncertain or worried with them. From the engagement session to the wedding itself to the delivery of the final product, I was extremely happy. The photographers and videographers were so much fun to work with, and I honestly can't speak highly enough about how happy my new husband and I are. We also referred 505 to my cousin that just got married. Love this team!!

Ever since I can remember, I've been captivated by the power of a single moment to tell a whole story. As a wedding photographer, I get to capture those fleeting, special moments that make each couple's love story unique. With over 4 + years of experience, I blend artistry with technical skill to create images that are not only beautiful but deeply meaningful.

5 STAR REVIEW! We had such an amazing experience with Prest1ge Photography! It was a toasty, sunny, fast-paced wedding day, and Caleb remembered to do all the shots we had asked for, and many more at a comfortable pace. Time flew and we went longer than expected, but he was gracious, easy to work with, and didn't allow anything to stress him out. Choosing Prest1ge was the best decision we could have made!

Hi, I’m Kirsten, the creative heart behind Kirsten Wray Photography! Since 2008, KWP has been capturing life’s most amazing moments, right here in Indianapolis and beyond. After earning my Bachelor of Fine Arts from Ball State University, I followed my passion for photography to the vibrant city of Indy, where I’ve been telling stories through my lens ever since. Whether it's local events or adventures across the globe, I’m all about creating stunning, authentic images for my incredible clients. Let’s make magic together!

I wish I could give 6 stars! Kirsten was incredible! She did such an amazing job, we couldn’t have been happier. She is so great to work with, and she ensured that we had great photos and lots of them. Our wedding included my toddler nephew and our dog, and she did such a great job getting their attention and giving us wonderful photos. We really got to know her, and she is very friendly, open and honest. She genuinely loves weddings and gets so excited for a great shot. She gave us feedback in the moment, which I really appreciated so that I could make small adjustments if needed. She was also great with working with our fixed set of time after the ceremony to ensure we got our priority photos done. She really knows what she’s doing and her work is great. I would highly recommend her for your wedding!

Jason Snorlax Photography

  • Serves Ava, IL

Jason "Snorlax" Cun is an all around photographer that currently resides in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in the heart of Los Angeles, where he found his calling in photography. He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.

Awarded Best of Zola
I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

We just keep coming back for more photography and we highly recommend Brendan Batchelor Photography.
