I loveee…LOVE ! I have been a big fan off sappy romance/rom-com movies ever since I was a little girl. I grew up watching all of the wedding TLC shows! And now I get to live that dream every weekend by helping you behind the scenes on your special day. It doesn’t even feel like a job to me, it just feels natural.

Alexis styled hair for my large wedding party, and she did an amazing job! Everyone’s hair looked beautiful, and Alexis took the time to make sure all of the girls were happy with their styles. She was responsive to any questions I had leading up to the wedding, and helped to make a plan that worked best for the day. Alexis was always friendly, personable, and communicative throughout the planning process and on the wedding day. I’m so happy I booked with her and would highly recommend her services!!

Rebecca y Las Otras 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Batavia, IL for additional fees

I am a documentary wedding photographer -- I'm all about capturing real moments. In my photographs, I’m always shooting with an eye for color, light, and dynamic shadows. I integrate these technical aspects with my background in film, literature and storytelling so with every wedding, I create a series of documentary photos that recreates the authentic narrative of a day. I’m always chasing the candid, the emotional, even the un-noticed everyday details; things that make you do a double take, little moments that make your heart swell.

Awarded Best of Zola
Rebecca was awesome beyond words and we highly recommend her. Our wedding was non-traditional and posed some unique challenges. We threw a backyard Halloween party and surprised our guests by exchanging vows at midnight. To go along with the surprise and remain incognito, Rebecca showed up in costume as an old-timey reporter with a "PRESS" marker tucked in her hatband. She pulled the ruse off flawlessly, blending in and chatting effortlessly with our friends so that she could capture those perfectly candid and special moments throughout the night. No one appeared camera shy, no one looked awkward or directed, every last portrait was of a cherished friend at their joyous best. We had been initially concerned about our lighting conditions since the event was outdoors and at night. We couldn't go too overboard with party lights, nor did we want our photographer to be milling through the crowd with a bright flash. Rebecca laid our concerns to rest well before the event, and her expertise with low-light shooting is on display in our gallery. The photos were absolutely stunning. Some of our favorites were the amazingly touching and genuine reactions of surprise when we revealed we were getting married. We could not be happier or have asked for a better photographer experience. We'll cherish these beautiful mementos for the rest of our lives and we cannot recommend Rebecca y las otras enough.

There’s something to be said about understanding another person. Sometimes you experience it in conversation. You know the feeling: interactions that leave you and that other person thinking, wow; we just said the Exact. Same. Thing. But if you’re lucky it’ll go deeper; understanding that person so much that you begin to anticipate what they may say or do. It's what makes our partnership so strong. As brothers, we understand each other, and we feel it shows in our work. But our greatest joy comes from sharing our work with you. To have all the memories of your day come flooding back to you in waves is magical, and it never gets old.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our entire experience from start to finish was amazing. We received exactly what we wanted in out wedding photos as well as quite a few unique ideas that they came up with based on our personalities. Brighton and Basette were professional and fun! Their presence felt more like family than it did a vendor. In addition to our experience, the quality of our photos was beyond exceptional! They have unique style that made our photos stand out against the traditional style. They have a way of capturing natural emotions and not making things look posed or unnatural.

Hi friend! Grace here. I’m from a small town in south-central PA, where I was raised on the great outdoors, drive-in movies, & board games.

A Charleston Wedding Photographer with a fierce love for storytelling, fostering memories and capturing those moments that you will want to treasure forever. I get to tell your story.

Hey Friend! Photography is my absolute passion and it shines through my images!!! I live for the RAW moments... the true emotion of the day. Tears that fall during a first look, the last hug with your loved ones before you walk down the aisle, and the ear to ear smiles once you've said "I Do!" I blend candid and guided shots, giving you the freedom to move about the day to enjoy it, while never having the thought of “what should I be doing” running through your mind! You'll be able to look back on your wedding photos 40 years from now and FEEL the emotions you felt that day. That's my promise to you!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Lauren for our wedding, and I truly can’t recommend her enough! From the moment we first met her, it was clear that she wasn’t just passionate about photography—she genuinely cared about capturing the essence of our day in the most beautiful, authentic way possible. Lauren has an extraordinary eye for detail. She doesn’t just take pictures; she captures moments—the spontaneous smiles, the glances exchanged, the raw emotions. From the very beginning, she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera—something neither of us was used to. She took the time to understand our style and personalities, and tailored her approach to fit that perfectly. On the day of the wedding, her calm and positive energy was a grounding presence amid all the excitement. Lauren made the entire process feel seamless and enjoyable, from our engagement shoot to the wedding day and beyond. She’s a true artist, and her work will be cherished by us for years to come. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who is not only professional but will go above and beyond to capture your most important moments, look no further than Lauren. She exceeded every expectation we had, and we are forever grateful! Thank you, Lauren, for giving us memories that will last a lifetime!

At the end of the day, all we have are the stories told about us and the ones we write about ourselves. I love writing about the musings of life and sharing my thoughts with others in conversation and social media posts. I constantly document my own life so I don't forget the big or little moments. Every time I travel to somewhere new I love connecting with those who cross my path, and yet I equally love coming home to my dog. TLDR: sentimental soul, avid movie goer, mental health advocate, and decent chocolate chip cookie maker.

where do i even begin? we were so blessed to have Rachael with us on our special day. we hired Carissa for our wedding photography & chose to have her bring an extra shooter with & BOOM! we somehow got blessed with Rachael as our bonus. i could go on about everything from her amazing personality, the positivity & happiness absolutely exuding from her at all times, her killer taste in music, the sheer talent that is her photography skills (both behind the camera & assisting in posing with such ease), to the way she somehow makes it feel like an old friend is with you every step of your wedding day (even if it’s the first day you met her), wrapping you in her beautiful scarf to keep you warm between photos & the ceremony because you were shivering, & is even willing to join your friends and family on the dance floor amidst capturing the most amazing memories for you. never did i feel rushed, if anything she helped me keep my cool about my timeline & helped ease so much of my anxiety about it. okay, i know what you’re thinking, “amy this seems like an excessive rant for a wedding photographer.” BUT YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND!! our photography was one part of our wedding we were willing to splurge on, & if i hadn’t decided we absolutely needed a second photographer for the day then i would have never been absolutely blessed with Rachael. not only did she capture so many of our posed moments, but more importantly the candid moments that i was too busy spinning around like a maniac to notice & are now some of my favorite pictures. our photographers are one part of our day that i will FOREVER absolutely rave about to everyone & always recommend to future brides because i want them to be able to experience the same beautiful souls & genuinely perfect encounter i got that day. Rachael is the kind of person you want to reach out to when you’re thinking about future photoshoots, & who makes you want to do photoshoots just for an excuse to get to experience both her presence & her absolute talent again. if you were debating hiring Rachael, PLEASE don’t second guess it. you will NOT be disappointed. (did i mention the photos she delivered are simply out of this freakin’ world?! because OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS!)

We are still chasing that dream and capturing so many amazing moments along the way. We have 3 wonderful children who are the fuel of our lives' drive. I (Rachel) am a lover of detail and David lives life on the edge. Together, we are a complementary couple and you'll definitely sense it when you work with us! Let's connect!

I love telling wedding stories, first and foremost, through capturing moments. Your wedding is a one of a kind event from the location to your style and personalities, but it also includes a unique group of people that have come together to celebrate your union. On your wedding day I focus on capturing the love and laughter, the tears and joy, but also the energy of the party! When it's over I give you a gallery of images that will bring all those emotions back every time you pull them up on your computer, share them online, crack open your album, or walk past them on your wall.

If you are looking for a photographer that is a true master of his craft as well as an all-around great person, look no further. Matt Wilson is in my opinion, one of the best wedding photographers out there! From the very first time we talked to Matt, we could tell how easy it was going to be working with him throughout our wedding weekend. Taking one look at his past work also made us feel confident in his approach - a wonderfully raw, moody and emotive narrative of our wedding day (unlike a bunch of posed pictures, although he did those too thanks to our parents ;)) His calm, attentive and composed demeanor, practical advice on what can/cannot be accomplished, ability to deal with last minute changes, and overall artistic vision resulted in the end product (our final pictures) being better than we could have ever imagined! Throughout the weekend, he was ever present but never obtrusive, and somehow managed to capture the most candid as well as the most important moments effortlessly. Even after the wedding, he made sure to devote time helping us pick the best pictures (an impossible task considering each one was worthy of its own frame) and patiently complied them into a beautiful album. Looking back, hiring Matt was the best decision we made. Thanks to his skill and dedication to his craft, we now have memories that we will cherish for a lifetime! Highly recommend you trusting him and his term with your big celebrations!!

Hi, I'm Danielle, I have been doing makeup for over 20 years! We are traveling, licensed and insured, professional makeup artists servicing Illinois and Indiana with prices starting at $80! Traveling Makeup Artists Specializing in Regular/Airbrushing, Bridal, and FX/Tattoo Coverage Makeup.

I loved how my girls and I looked on the day! Stunning work! However, I would just feel bad for future brides if I didn’t share that you need to be 100% on your timeline and # of people before you book. It is not an advantage to book early with them. Ended up paying about 6 services more than I used because of changes. I added a 4th artist and was totally fine with that fee her making a min of 5 services while keeping pay for all other artists as is, just bit the cost because that makes sense. However, my original contract with the owner had herself doing 5 people. When we added a second artist she was doing 4 but being paid for 5 to honor original contract. When going back to 5 she wanted me to pay again for that person, even though technically she was already being paid for 5 services and she was going to do 5 services…

I cannot say enough good things about Local Sounds Entertainment. They were so easy to work with and catered to everything we wanted. We had the photo booth which was so much fun to have at my wedding and I love that I get to keep all of the pictures. From my ceremony, to the uplighting, to the music, I received compliments all night from my wedding guests. I highly recommend them for ANY event!

I grew up in a small town on the west coast of Sweden and while my heart will always long for the ocean breeze, I have made Indiana my home together with my husband, Ryan, and our three children, Felix, Axel and Elinora. I specialize in wedding films that capture all those fleeting moments; the nerves, the excitement, the happy tears, the joy, and the pure love unfolding on one of the most special days of your life.

My husband and I had the pleasure of having Emelie shoot the video for our wedding in April 2020. When we chose Emelie we had planned a large extravagant wedding at our venue with 250+ people. With the pandemic hitting our country just the month before our big day we were stuck with a ton of options and not really knowing what to do. We decided to go through with our wedding plans on our original day but we were only allowed to have 10 people there- including ourselves. There was absolutely no doubt in my mind that Emelie would be one of those 10 people no matter what, and I have never regretted that decision. Emelie captured our day and our love perfectly. I think my favorite thing about her is that she is so quiet that you barely realize she is there but the creative juices are flowing through her and that really shows in all of her videos. My favorite thing to do (probably once a week) is watch our video and cry many happy tears. I love the way she tells all of her couples love stories, but especially ours. My best advice is if you’re thinking about video but don’t know how to fit it in your budget- FIND A WAY! Save all the pennies and throw them toward Emelie. You will never regret it.

We're a boutique wedding production company who prides ourselves on providing beautiful, memorable films for all of our clients that reflect who they are and what their wedding day truly was. We believe that a true wedding film should be more than just slow motion footage set to music. We want to capture the action, the sound, the entire feeling of the day. Your wedding film should let you see, hear, and re-live things as they happened in a unique, artistic way. We're not about artificially staging moments; we want to bring out the beauty in how you enjoyed and celebrated on the wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we inquired with Shannon he put us at ease and really connected with our personalities. We knew immediately that we wanted to hire him to film our wedding. We are so grateful that we did! I know that everyone enjoys their own wedding films, but he was able to personalize ours in a way that is hard to describe. His team just captured the mood perfectly. It feels totally us when we watch it back. Cannot recommend him highly enough!

We’re Kristyn and Jon! We’ve been together since 2014 and got married in 2019 with an epic disaster of a wedding! We planned it so carefully and thought of every detail so we could give our guests the ultimate experience (being wedding pros and all) and ended up with a monsoon that caused our tent to start collapsing! In the end, nothing went as planned except that we did what we set out to do- marry each other! While we can’t control the weather on your day, we can make it an amazing, fun-filled experience and be able to tell your story in the most authentic way possible, creating a work of art with your memories at the center of it.

We've worked with Blush a few times and they are amazing! They get proofs back on time, and their final results are stunning. They are on time, professional, and easy to work with. I would highly recommend them for all of your photography and videography needs!

I began my filmmaking journey twenty years ago in middle school, making silly videos with my friends in the backyards of Indiana. Somewhere along the way I got a chance to film a wedding and I haven't looked back since.

As a wedding venue owners of The Wilds Wedding Venue in Bloomington, Indiana (www.thewildsvenue.com), we have had the unique opportunity to work alongside several amazing wedding industry vendors. In doing so, we’ve grown to greatly appreciate Mitchell Gaston Films. Their team is not only incredibly talented, but are also experienced, true professionals. If you're looking for an amazing videography experience and film, look no further!
