Professional freelance makeup artist, airbrush trained, servicing the Chicagoland and Northwest suburbs since 2020. Specializing in bridal, commercial, and special events makeup or for any of your needs.

I highly recommend XV GLAM by anahirealmua for bridal makeup services. Anahi was extremely prompt and thorough in her communication throughout the planning process, which I greatly appreciated during the hectic wedding season. Most importantly, the quality of work by her artists (Pierena-makeup & Lorena-hair) was just beautiful - long lasting yet natural looking, and brought my vision for a soft glam bridal look to life perfectly. The artists were also very flexible and willing to travel to my getting ready location. They helped make me feel calm, confident and truly glamorous on my wedding day. I couldn't have asked for better beauty professionals and would recommend XV Glam to any bride looking for exceptional services and gorgeous, timeless makeup application.

Milkweed Moments

  • Serves Barrington, IL

Homeschoolin, Home birthin, and Holistic mama that loves to capture Life and Love in it's truest moments and forms. My business has been a decade in the making from falling in love with photography in high school, to now... My love for Milkweed and my time spent living in Iowa has inspired my business name. I used to live near a conservation center with fields of milkweed. My children and I spent many days enjoying this haven of beauty and were blessed to see thousands of Monarch butterflies migrate to the Milkweed. I realize how fleeting these moments are and would love to capture your story!

So easy to work with and professional! My labor went very quickly so photos were in the immediate postpartum. I love how each detail was captured so intimately to tell the story, so I can look back on those moments. She respected the environment and helped in any way to make sure I felt cared for-above and beyond being a photographer. We also did some newborn/family photos a few days later and she was very patient with my full of energy toddler, all while capturing the sweet details of our newborn. All of the photos are beautiful!! When I asked for a few edits to the gallery it was done and updated for me quickly.

America is such an amazing person to work with. Wanted to have a wedding of about 150 people in the Chicago Metropolitan area and a budget of 22,000 USD (just wanna say that keeping to the budget was my main goal). This can be typically difficult given the cost of venues and things in the Chicago area. America helped find a glamorous ball-style venue (my preference) that also had an outside lake as a great view for the ceremony. The venue also catered to most of the other needs at a reasonable price. Furthermore, we met regularly with America to go over what our expectations of each vendor would be, and with a great understanding of what we wanted, she was resourceful in getting the appropriate vendors and negotiating a good price with them. She made sure that within the short period of planning (we contacted her about 4 months before the wedding), every step of the plan towards the wedding day was carried out in a timely manner with nothing left unattended to... I mean nothing. On the day of the wedding, she drew up a great timeline and went above and beyond to ensure all went according to plan timely and we were not stressed out. It was such a good and memorable event that we received numerous compliments on it. With her being very affordable for the service she gives and she being intentionally involved in everything, we definitely kept to budget and had better than the wedding we had hoped for. She was on top of her game from start to finish . She isn't only an event planner to us but is also a friend. I thank God for you america and for all you did. These few words cannot fully explain how excellent you are in what you do.

  • Photographer

  • Starts at $11,500
  • Serves Barrington, IL

We are blessed to photography many weddings & events around the world. We've had the honor to photograph many celebs as well. All our clients are a blessing & we know it’s an honor to be chosen to photograph their memorable event. We are grateful to all who has given us the privilege to work with them. We strive to tell our couple’s story & reflect their energy in each photograph. Like Elton John & Bernie Taupin, we work in two rooms: Bob is the principal photographer & handles all the logistics of our shoots. Dawn completes our vision by editing photos & making each image sing, then designs a fine art book to encapsulate the each story.

Bob & Dawn were nothing short of amazing to work with. My husband and I changed our wedding plans quite a bit, but decided to move forward with a small and intimate wedding on our original date. Bob & Dawn were so accommodating and easy to work with, they took a ton of stress off my plate. Every single picture from our day is perfect. Bob captured every moment that I was hoping for....AND MORE. I feel as if I have an intimate relationship with the two of them now, they were involved in some pretty important and special moments of my life, and I am so grateful to have met them and gotten to work with them during a stressful time. Although I had a COVID wedding, you would truly never tell from our photos and everything I was hoping for was delivered by this dynamic duo. I know I will stay in touch with them over the years, and am grateful to have worked with them when I did!

Hadassah was so easy to work with - she was organized, flexible with our schedules, and open to our ideas. We had a non-traditional wedding, but Hadassah was game for anything! Hadassah's warm personality made it easy for us to relax and feel comfortable posing for photos. She listened to things that were important to us and was able to provide suggestions for photo ideas. Hadassah captured the fun and candid moments of all our guests and paid attention to all the details. She was patient and provided a calming presence during the whole event.

The easiest and most special part of my wedding!! I got married last August 2022 and planned it all by myself while being a medical student. Gubert Photos made the photography aspect of our wedding so easy and incredible - not to mention the actual photos, which were everything we wanted and more! Having this day captured was one of my biggest priorities and Gubert Photos did not fail me once. I was able to fill a whole scrapbook with all of our favorite moments from our wedding and thanks to the quality of the photos, we look at it all the time.

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!

Visual Reflection Video was one of the best wedding videographers I've ever worked with! Their communication was consistent, prompt and professional throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and value was truly amazing - they were so knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make our special day perfect. When our photographer no-showed, the videographer took the initiative to use his own camera to capture some getting ready photos of us, even though it wasn't in our contract. He really took control of the situation and made me not worry about a thing. Visual Reflection Video will exceed your expectations and deliver an incredible final product that you'll treasure forever!

Floral Wonders did an amazing job for our wedding! I don’t know anything about flowers but I sent inspo pics of floral pillars and they absolutely nailed it. They were gorgeous and exactly how I had pictured them. They deconstructed the pillars after the ceremony for loose florals on the reception tables, which also turned out exactly as I had imagined. The boutonnières and corsages were perfect and the bridal party bouquets were beautiful. I loved my bridal bouquet - I’m in the process of preserving it into a resin table so I can keep it forever.

I document love for a living, and what drives me is capturing authenticity in the moments that I am privileged to become a part of with my clients. I've been photographing weddings for over a decade. I know how to make you look good, and how to take away the "overwhelmed" fake vibe most couples feel and replace it with meaningful photos in 1/250 of a second.

With the day just being insane. There were so many times Kay checked in on me which made me to make sure I was okay, really made me take a breath throughout the day and made me feel special. We did our engagement pictures at a brewery and she was super creative with the pictures. For our wedding day I sent her my Pinterest board and she went for all the pictures I wanted. I’m so excited to see what they all look like. Even her second shooter seemed like she was everywhere. Start to finish the whole process was so easy to work with Kay. With so many vendors having one you vibe with is important and it was all there. 10/10 recommend her, & the team she has.

She photographed our wedding on October 4th, and I continue to receive the sweetest comments from my bridal party, family members, and wedding guests regarding how accommodating, polite, and sweet Nikki is! Although we have only received a "sneak peak" of our photos thus far, I have received ENDLESS compliments regarding the quality of these photos. Her photos are warm, timeless, intimate, and just full to the brim with love. We had a tight timeline on the day of our wedding leaving limited time for photos, and Nikki was AMAZING at taking charge of the situation and helping to keep everyone on track to ensure we would get the photos we desired. She is organized, timely, and poised and professional in all her interactions with both us and other vendors the day of.

I used CBD for my December 2023 wedding at The Library at 190 S LaSalle. The services were impeccable. I obtained proposals from several caterers from the venue's preferred caterers' list and went for tasting with two caterers. CBD's pricing is competitive compared with larger caterers, and menu options and tasting experience were better than smaller caterers. Lots of great hors d'oeuvres. Erin is very responsive, organized, and flexible. We were able to customize sides for entrees. On the wedding day, the captain (Aukse) was extremely professional, competent and attentive. We fully trust her and went with her recommendations for an on-the-spot change. The set-up was beautiful without any supervision. Flipping from ceremony layout to reception layout was done quickly. I believe they collaborated with the florist very well. They were also nice enough to box leftover cake and entrees for confirmed guests who could not show up. I would definitely recommend CBD.

At Zest in Class, we believe every event deserves a touch of brilliance. Based in the heart of the Midwest, our event staffing company specializes in providing exceptional corporate event staff, event staffing, and convention staffing for sporting events, private functions, concerts, and more. Our mission is simple: to infuse every event with outstanding service and vibrant professionalism.

Setting up and planning everything with the person online was wondering and really gave me high hopes! Everything went super smoothly. They gave me a comprehensive shopping list and helped finesse all the recipes for our mocktail bar. Also checked in a few times prior to the wedding to make sure we were all on the same page. Now the bartender who came was a different story. She forget several of her tools needed including knives for all the garnishes. I had bought quite a bit of oranges, lemons, limes etc. She was also incredibly rude and several people remarked to me about that during the wedding day and after the wedding. She looked miserable and angry the whole time at the wedding. The only time I went to the bar, she wasn’t there and after about 10 minutes of waiting around, she came back and I asked to try all my mocktails and she gave me a judgy look and said that she was already made a drink for the bride earlier. I asked again and finally after my husband asked with me she made them but reluctantly. Mind you, this was a nonalcoholic bar. Overall liked Bucky’s, but the bartender was who worked with them was having an off day.

Paul and Kris met in 1989 while playing in an orchestra in Wheaton, IL. They started the Brass String Chamber Ensemble in 1990 which quickly became very popular throughout Chicago and the suburbs. They have played over 2000 weddings and special events and have thousands of titles in their combined music library. The BSCE enjoys playing for ceremonies but also cocktail hour and during dinner. They are familiar with all traditional church ceremonies and also happy to play in banquet halls, country clubs, hotels, or even at a lovely home celebration. They are based in Naperville but travel throughout Chicago and the suburbs.

Paul and Chris are fantastic. Easy to work with, professional and the music is incredible. The talent and knowledge that they have is insurmountable. They played for both are wedding and cocktail hour. They were one of the highlights of our wedding and the vendors I was most eager to work with

Hi I am a licensed cosmetologist and a certified makeup artist i am also certified in airbrush makeup I have work with several bridal companies but finally want to do something for myself I have also worked with Asian/Indian/Pakistani brides

I had a lovely experience with Beauty Professional for my wedding day hair and makeup. Their communication was easy over text. The quality of work from Beauty Professional was beautiful and seamless. My bridal makeup looked flawless and was exactly the vision I had described to them. My bridesmaids also looked stunning with their hair and makeup done by Beauty Professional. I received so many compliments from guests on how lovely my makeup looked in photos and in person. Overall I would highly recommend Beauty Professional for your wedding hair and makeup needs. Their artists do beautiful work though and contributed very positively to making me feel like a gorgeous bride on my special day.

Such a delight to work with Saumya! We did a fall couple photoshoot. Due to the covid-19 pandemic, other than a quick photoshoot during our wedding, we hadn't done photos as a couple before. My partner is camera-shy and she made sure we both felt comfortable to be ourselves during the shoot. She is very attentive to your vision for the shoot, and creates a warm environment where the shoot feels like fun. Our pictures turned out great!

I am not a visual person and she really made my wedding beautiful. She was super responsive and talked through many ideas with me; she really made my vision come to life. I would recommend her to everyone!

Our approach to wedding filmmaking is simple- deliver the most sincere, organic recollection of the day by acting as unnoticeably as possible. By eliminating the pressures of being filmed, our couples are able to enjoy each moment of their day and be truly present in the experience, providing us with an authentic and emotional collection of frames. Weddings are our passion and we enjoy being able to assist with planning, coordinating and timeline creation throughout the months leading up to your big day. We’re with you every step of the way and are dedicated to creating the best possible version of your love story.

Rhys was great to work with!! He provided so much guidance leading up to the wedding day, going over my timeline and making recommendations based on how long he's seen things take. He also provides a list of suggested do's and dont's that you wouldn't realize have an impact on the video - it was so helpful!! Before the wedding he also has a prep call to go over all the details and any notes/requests we have for the videos (vibe we're looking for, any cinematic requests, song requests, etc.) He was another great presence to have the day of! We haven't gotten the video back yet but right after our wedding we got an email that lists out all the steps they take throughout video production. We've since gotten emails every time our video has moved to the next step. The communication from Rhys since we booked has been so incredible!

We're Jenna & Joey, a Husband and Wife team based in Michigan. We got married in May of 2020 (yes, in the middle of the pandemic). You'll often either find us at a coffee shop, the nearest burger joint or curled up in bed binge-watching New Girl while eating allllll the snacks. Oh, and we can't forget that we're dog parents to our favorite girl, Nala who is always trying to snuggle close.

Jenna was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding. We booked an engagement session and 8hr coverage from her for our wedding day with a second shooter. She ended up being sick the day of the wedding and texted us already with a plan in motion for another shooter to come in her place. When they got there they knew absolutely every single detail I ever spoke about with Jenna. It couldn’t have been more like if Jenna was there herself. She even got us around 25 photos as a sneak peek the very next day! We have talked so much since the wedding that we have absolutely zero bad things to say about the photographers and how easy they made the entire day go. Absolutely loved Jenna and her whole team and have already discussed booking with her for any future photography we might need!!

I’m Colby (he/him), your local neighborhood dog parent/beer lover/former mascot/barbershop singer/wedding and elopement photographer. My love language is shouting compliments at you. I love people and hate crowds. I prefer long hikes in the mountains to ones on the beach, but both are better than sitting at home. I really, really don’t like having my photo taken - and if we have that in common, we might work really well together.

I cannot put into words how perfectly Colby Campbell Photography made our special day. From day one we knew that Colby was going to be amazing to work with and that we had found the photographer to bring our wedding day to life and he did just that! The quality is top-notch and his passion shows through his work. I often go back and look through our photos from our wedding and I am in awe of how every moment was captured so perfectly. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of a photographer for any type of event as they will bring joy, fun, and help you capture memories to look back on for years to come. Thank you Colby Campbell Photography!

We’re Hungry Heart Films, a husband and wife wedding team in Chicago. We believe the best wedding films are unexpected and sincere, the kind of film that can transport you back to the feeling of that awesome day every time you watch it! Your vibe as a couple is unique and your wedding film should be too! We capture your day as it naturally unfolds, whether you're on the quiet side or throwing a rager to remember.

We're so happy we booked Brian and Rebecca of Hungry Heart!! They were both so open, honest, and answered all of questions before we even had a chance to ask them. We both don't love being in front of a camera and were worried about having both a photographer and videographer at the wedding, but Brian and Rebecca were so respectful of our space. They were the perfect combination of warm, approachable, and professional. Our final film is so beautiful, we've already watched it a million times. Thank you both so much!

David Rothstein Music was started in 1999. David believes each couple/client deserves to get exactly what they need for their specific event. DRM has a wide variety of ensembles and song choices to make every event meet and exceed your expectations!

We always ranked the music as the number one priority for our wedding, and we’re so glad we entrusted David Rothstein Band to bring our party to life. Planning a wedding during Covid had many challenges, including not being able to see the band live, but thankfully, David has so many live videos available where we can see the entertainment his band delivers day in and day out. Those videos, along with David’s passion for his work, made us confident to chose his team to make our day special. For our wedding, we had a classical duo during the ceremony, a pianist during cocktail hour, a jazz trio during dinner, and an incomparable 10 piece orchestra to dance the night away. From the first note to the final encore, we were BLOWN AWAY with the talent and energy that the band brought. We had a few special requests for the night - from a unique arrangement for our ceremony processional to a mashup of New York songs during the reception - and David’s team was beyond accommodating. We had dancing for 3 hours straight and not once did anyone leave the floor - the band was able to feel the energy in the room and chose the right song for the moment. I stumbled across the ingoing setlist after the party and was actually surprised to see that the band didn’t even stick to the songs they had picked - a sign that they adjusted based on what the crowd was loving. It’s been nearly a month since the big day and people keep telling us how amazing the music was, and we can’t stop watching the many videos David took from the night, reliving the magic that his band created. If you’re thinking about which band to have for your wedding, look no further than the David Rothstein Band - you won’t be disappointed!!

Shawnee was an unbelievable photographer and such a special part of our wedding weekend. From the moment we reached out to her to getting our pictures, she has been incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and deeply kind. She made us feel so at ease and taken care of at our Rehearsal Dinner and on our wedding day. She not only allowed us to be our fullest selves but also encouraged capturing us in ways that felt authentic and not stuck in expected wedding photos or gender roles. She captured our guests so beautifully too, particularly the kids who were in our wedding. Everyone's personalities shone through so wonderfully and the picture are absolutely stunning. We cannot believe how many and how incredible each and every photo is. We cannot recommend Shawnee enough!

We had Windy City Cookies make these beautiful cookies for a graduation party. They were the perfect graduation theme cookies , and I asked her to individually wrap them with for me. They were beautiful—everyone loved them! I heard from reliable sources that they tasted delicious, too. Sadly, I did not have any of the cookies for myself. Hopefully next time!

Hi loves, I'm Sarah! I'm a destination wedding photographer and mother of two... CATS! I'm a big dreamer, romantic and creator, so you can only imagine how much I love what I do and sharing my passion with the couples I meet. I'm all about documenting authentic moments and getting to learn your love story. Because of how much I travel, I personally only take on a number of weddings per year as I'm very intentional with the work I do! If I'm not personally available, I have a team and they're amazing! So, if you love my style and don't mind working with my team the day of your wedding, the option is always there for you.

Sarah was a such a pleasure to work with! She's easy going and flowed well with our video team on the bride and groom's wedding day. Her photos are full of life and speak in authenticity in documented and candid moments. We would love to work with her again!

I have been shooting professionally for nearly ten years throughout Indiana--though I am very eager to travel with my camera! I bring a creative, moody vibe to my photographs that aim to tell your story in it's own unique beauty. I love helping tell & creating stories, and have held various day jobs from newspaper reporter to behavioral therapist. I know that my job touches almost as heavily in service as it does in the arts, and utilize all of my qualities to work with all of your vendors so that YOU have the best day possible!

Kelly is a dream photographer for a planner like me. After meeting at a bridal show, she approached me to help her get a styled shoot idea she had for years executed and it was such a dream and honor to be asked. Kelly is very easy to communicate with while knowing just when to (kindly and graciously) take charge and run the show to let her work shine through. She presented her ideas clearly with flexibility to let my style and touch shine through. I am positive she would be any couples dream to work with on their big day. Cannot recommend her enough!!
