Saint Rose Florist did an incredible job bringing our wedding floral vision to life. Jennifer was so great to work with - quick to respond, thorough in her questions, and extremely helpful in translating my inspiration pictures into arrangements that perfectly suited our venue and style. The end result was absolutely stunning! Jennifer took our ideas and elevated them beyond what we could have imagined. From the bouquets to the centerpieces every little floral detail was gorgeous and made such an impact in the overall look of our wedding day. We could not recommend Jennifer and Saint Rose Florist more highly for all your floral needs. Jennifer brought immense talent and care that resulted in florals that made our dream wedding a reality.

Our wedding day was absolutely magical and we owe it all to Katie from Willow and Waylon Events. From the moment we met Katie, her commitment to perfection and attention to detail shone through every step of the way which spoke to my very type A personality. She truly made the whole experience stress-free by keeping us on a timeline, keeping track of all of our vendors and given that we both have very hectic work schedules on top of moving out of state prior to the wedding, she dealt with all of the vendors for us. Not to mention when one coordinator from one of our vendors was not meeting her standards, she took to initiative to rectify the situation by contacting the company and changing coordinators for us to ensure we had the best possible experience. She was with us every step of the way with multiple regular check-ins over the year of planning and was by my side through the wedding day as a calming presence to keep everyone on track. She was always available via zoom, phone or text. She thought of things we didn't know we needed to think about and helped to suggest vendors when we didn't know who to choose in our price point. Above all, she is such a kind and thoughtful human being and in general, lovely to work with. I can't give Katie and her company higher praise, I would not have been able to get through planning our wedding and wedding day without her.

When we found Brit, we knew we were gonna get good photos. But what we didn’t expect was to have those moments and feelings captured so beautifully that we can relive them over and over each time we look at them. We didn’t expect to find a photographer that would quickly become a great friend. Brit has been there for engagement shoots, portraits, family shoots, and she just photographed our wedding day. And she will continue to be there to capture every important moment of our life in the future. This is her passion, and there is no doubting that when you see her work.

Christopher Ginn Photography

  • Photographer
  • Starts at $3,200
  • Serves Buffalo Grove, IL for additional fees

I bought my first DSLR camera in 2004 when my now wife, Tracey, and I were taking a cruise to Alaska. For a monumental trip like this, I HAD to get an amazing camera. Those 8.2 megapixels with nine four points had me in LOVE. Ever since then, the ability of a photograph to be able to freeze time; freeze an emotion; freeze a memory has kept me addicted. Whether it’s getting a great angle, finding light that tells the story, or capturing the true personality of someone; it all brings a smile to my face and hopefully yours!

Awarded Best of Zola
Chris photographed our wedding in October of 2021 and did an INCREDIBLE job. We started with an engagement shoot that was a great way to practice for our wedding day. We learned all of the popular poses so that on our actual wedding day we didn’t feel awkward posing. He was incredibly organized and thorough throughout the entire process and the results were perfect. The entire day was planned out and he photographed every shot we wanted. We also had a beautiful wedding video and I had special requests for the video that he easily accommodated! The entire day ran smoothly thanks to his organization. He was extremely professional but we also had SO much fun. I felt like I was with a friend throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Chris for any event.

My name is Abby, a Midwest based wedding + boudoir photographer who's really obsessed with her job. I've gotten to see how directly photos can impact people. As we grow up, we realize how priceless photos are and how quality pictures become prized possessions. It's a moment in time you can forever look back on. It's easy to take pictures, but it's hard to capture moments. I'll love making magic with you, because everyone has some magic in them that deserves to be celebrated.

Abby is simply incredible. She works hard to make all parties comfortable, heard and loved. She makes all special moments a little more special. The ability to capture any and all little moments of intimacy is a rare find and you will not be disappointed.

We take absolute pride of all our shoots and edits. With us, you see consistency and amazing storytelling/compositions We do not outsource my work to anybody. Videography by : Martin Shin Photography by :Kero & Itten

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Martin from start to finish was an absolute dream. He was very professional, communication was excellent, and he always found time to chat with us if we had any questions we wanted to talk through. We had big dreams of doing our first looks at Grand Central, and considering our wedding/prep was in Brooklyn, this was definitely not going to be an easy feat to squeeze in with the travel time. But Martin helped us make the timeline, and although we ended up falling behind schedule, still managed to get us there with the most amazing photos and videos. He and Kero are literally the coolest people we've ever met, and they made a full day of posing and smiling so much more fun and lighthearted. And everything we did was all part of such a smart plan - there were some poses/shots that in the moment we thought felt odd, but looking back at the final edits it all came together. Their team works on other projects outside of weddings, and you can really see their artistry come through in the finished products. Our wedding photos are beautifully edited, and really captured all the most important aspects of the day. And the candid shots we got from our reception truly convey the energy and excitement of the night. The videos are exceptional. From each new snippet that got released on social media, to the final products of our 10 minute highlight reel and full documentary, we can look back on our wedding and feel like we're watching a movie trailer or a music video. The way the clips were synced with the music was so magical, and it all just flowed in a way that makes so much sense. I would 1000% recommend Making Lab to anyone who is looking for both photography & videography for any event.

We loved working with Chelsea and Jack. The style of their photos was what we wanted—classic, timeless, natural and true to color. They were a joy to be around and while present, seemed to fade into the background, allowing us to be together and in the moment. However, we both felt like they became friends throughout the day. She sent us a sneak peak while we were on our honeymoon and we can’t wait to see more!

From the initial consult, to the delivery of our Gallery, Sam was the superhero needed to keep things going smoothly. If you’re looking for a photographer who has skills in getting to know who you really are, making sure your personality is as much in the photos as you are, going above and beyond to help things go smoothly, take care of things you didn’t even know needed to be done, and show up in whatever way helps you while getting the job done: you’ve found her. I could not possibly say enough that would capture how great of an experience it was to work with Sam; the professionalism, care, and attention to details are as equally prevalent in her practice as her positive attitude, genuine helpfulness, and kind spirit. That is to say, Sam is everything you could want in a photographer, and everything you need to make sure it’s done with the utmost precision and skill.

Planning a small destination wedding in Key West from Tennessee felt overwhelming, especially with a short timeline and tight budget. But from the moment I found Lynn, everything changed. Within two days, she had secured all our vendors and stayed in constant communication to keep things running smoothly. Then, just when things got stressful—a hurricane hit Florida the day before we were supposed to fly out! Our flight was canceled, and I was panicked. Lynn called me and remained so optimistic! She helped me stay calm and reassured me we'd make it, and thankfully we were able to fly out the day before the ceremony. On our wedding day, Lynn communicated mostly with family members who were there to minimize any stress on me, which I greatly appreciated. The setup and decor were better than I could have ever imagined and everything flowed perfectly. Lynn took my vision and brought it to life, completely exceeding my expectations. If you need a wedding planner, Lynn is it. She’s professional, caring, and works magic to make your day unforgettable. You can tell she loves what she does, and it truly shows in every detail!

I am a caffeine addict who never sleeps. I love a good thunderstorm and playing Candy Crush for the brain breaks. I adore all kinds of dogs, but I have a special love for German Shepherds. My all-time favorite thing is to sit by the fire with a glass of good cabernet or watch the ocean waves hit the beach. I love to garden and to build things (but I let my husband to finish all my projects LOL). I enjoy good food and will likely refer to a stand up comedy routine at least once in a conversation. I am also a football mom, lacrosse mom and basketball mom. Wife to a very understanding husband and emotional support person for my big puppies.

Our wedding day was nothing short of magical, and much of that was thanks to our incredible photographer, Silvia. From our first meeting, her calm demeanor and positive outlook put us at ease. Silvia has a unique ability to blend into the background, capturing candid moments that truly reflect the joy and love of the day. Her calm presence was a soothing force during the hustle and bustle, making us feel relaxed and natural in front of the camera. Every photo she took is a testament to her talent and passion for her work. Silvia didn’t just take pictures; she told our love story through her lens, and for that, we are forever grateful.

We are not joking when we say that we hired Saja from Mawaddah productions at 8:30 am on our wedding day after realizing that we almost made one of the biggest mistakes by not having a videographer. And this was definitely the BEST decision we made. We were amazed that Saja not only managed to travel two hours from Boston to Alstead New Hampshire with a last minute notice for the job, but also exceeded our expectations by capturing all these priceless and unforgettable moments with little to no preparation other than a timeline flyer a few hours beforehand. The cinematography is insane: she films so beautifully and candidly, and her attention to details is unparalleled. Through her art and vision, she was able to translate this day which needless to say, went by overwhelmingly fast, into such a beautiful beautiful endless everlasting memory that we can now forever replay. We ABSOLUTELY ADOREDDDD the teaser, the short wedding film and the feature film. We shared it with our entire families and friends and they are completely in love.

We are Aleksei and Victoria, a team of professional videographers. We are based in New York but shoot videos all over the world. Our experience in videography began in 2007, during this time we have done more than 1000 shoots. We mostly shoot weddings because we really enjoy it. We love it as much as other events, engagement videos, content shooting - this is only a small part of what we do.

From the start, they were incredibly attentive to our vision and offered creative ideas that perfectly captured our day. On the wedding day, they worked with such professionalism and subtlety, documenting every key moment and emotion without being intrusive. The final video is magical — emotional, beautifully shot, and perfectly edited. We can relive our day again and again, savoring each moment. Aleksei and Victoria are true masters of their craft, and we highly recommend them!

Hey I'm Liz! I've been in business as a wedding and portrait photographer since 2015, and have had a camera in my hand since the days before digital. After nine years in the industry my brain is absolutely full of specific knowledge I can only use for weddings, so please please use me as a resource. I live outside Portland with my Husband, kids, dog and cat. In my free time you can find me at a Mexican restaurant, a Movie Theater, or in any body of water. As an aging Millennial I've also recently gotten into retirement hobbies like birding and gardening.

Liz was so easy to work with. She took our engagement photos and wedding photos. During our wedding planning session as a bride I was all over the place but she was able to help figure out photos that were needed and set a timeline with me. On the day of our wedding, it seemed that time sped up and there was a million things to do. As our timeline didn’t go as planned, most weddings don’t, Liz was able to think on her feet and get a new timeline so we were able to get all of our shots in that we wanted and still be able to enjoy our wedding, dancing, guest and each other. After getting our photos back many of our family and friends mentioned how wonderful Liz was, her attention to detail and how they would love to use her in the future. Whenever we talk about future photo shoots that we want, Liz is always brought up and will be the first to call when we need new photos!

Hi there, I'm Alyssa! I am so glad you are here! I am an old soul that yearns to travel the world. I thrive off of human connections, prefer to live life to the fullest, laugh as often as I can, and am all about providing the best experience to my new friends. I am a hopeless romantic, name any romantic movie and I have definitely seen it. I just LOVE love... which is why I am your girl to capture your authentic, unique love story!

Working with Alyssa was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From the engagement pictures (that she got back to us in less than 24 hrs) to planning out every detail in the timeline to capturing the most beautiful photos on the big day, Alyssa was absolutely amazing! And everyone who interacted with her at our wedding agreed! She captured all the photos I was hoping for and then found time to grab more that I didn’t think we’d be able to get. She was game to take a trolley ride with us and just let us soak in the whole day while capturing every beautiful moment! I can’t recommend her enough!

SO Rhythm & lights was founded in 1989. And the premise is really simple, simple pricing that includes everything we got. We only have two add ons. If you need the ceremony, and if you want a photobooth. Our teams going to setup all the lighting, and give you their all every single time, because the price doesnt dictate if they do that. We got you covered from every aspect. We do not do hourly rates, so no need to worry about the smallest details. BEcause we worry about the smallest details. You can just have FUN at your wedding.

Rhythm and lights exceeded our expectations. They were easy to work with every step of the planning process and very helpful. As a nervous bride this was very important, their attention to detail throughout was a huge weight off my chest, knowing I didn’t have to worry about anything. Mitch was our dj and he was absolutely amazing. The reception flowed flawlessly and the dance floor was full all night. (Ask for Mitch) I can’t imagine how different my wedding would have been if I hadn’t booked Rhythm and lights! Literally the best ️. Thank you!!!

Salt & Ivy was an absolute dream to work with. Highly communicative, professional, punctual, and absolute artists. From booking to receiving the photos, they were so amazing to work with. I (the bride) am typically very uncomfortable taking photographs. This was the first time in my life that I was actually at ease and having fun. 10/10 would and will book them again in the future for family/maternity photographs.

I love mexican food, cats (and dogs!), and iced coffee. Books are my best friends, and I also double as a yoga teacher when I'm not doing photography related things. I have a weird obsession with fuzzy socks and I prefer movies over TV shows. Now on to the typical things you want to know about my journey in photography...I got my first camera in 2009 and basically haven't put it down since! I studied photography at Savannah College of Art and Design and started my freelance photography career when I graduated in 2016!

Awarded Best of Zola
If I had to describe Cayleigh in one word, it would be fantastic! When I was look for a photographer I really wanted someone who would mesh well with my husband as he is not very photogenic, or should I say camera shy. Cayleigh worked very well with him and got him to come out of his shell! We did and Engagement shoot, 10 hours for our wedding, and will be doing some maternity photos here in a couple months as well! If you are looking for someone who is friendly, and gets creative with any type of person she is your girl!
