HEY! I'M ASHLEY! Aka, Your Professional third wheel! I am so happy you dropped by! I am a uber bubbly, warm hearted, person who loves to order 3 drinks at Dutch Bros and say its for other people but really its just for me. When I am not spending my lifes savings at Dutch Bros, I am professionally following peeps in love and photographing their stories. I am a lover of true crime and murder podcasts! (But I mean who isnt! I just cant help it!) FUN FACT: I speak switzerdütsch, aka a German slang. My mom is originally from Switzerland and my dad from Jamaica, so you know I am always hungry for adventures (and new places to binge eat at).

Ashley Cynthia Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding day! From our first meeting, Ashley's positive, professional, and fun communication style put us at ease. On the big day, she and her talented and detail-oriented team worked tirelessly to capture all of those special moments. Ashley kept me smiling even during some family stress. The beautiful photos she delivered showcase her artistry and really capture the love and joy we felt. I was wowed by her determination to get the perfect shot. Ashley and her crew were consummate professionals and we could not be happier with the gorgeous photos to remember our wedding day!

  • Serves Dolton, IL

What started out as a hobby, evolved into a great passion. With a camera on hand for every event, I spent my lunch money as a young kid developing films at the photo store. I became so fond of capturing as many organic moments as I can in photographs and fell in love with the idea of telling people's stories in images rather than words. I started venturing into professional photography right after my own wedding to my high school sweetheart, Erick, which was back in 2014. I LOVE everything wedding-related. My favorite to photographs are the wedding details, the bride and groom portraits and anything that will make me either cry or laugh!

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Michelle was the best choice my wife and I made during our wedding preparations. Her photos are stunning. True professionalism, skill, and a keen eye for capturing those happy moments. But best of all, she has a warm personality which made working with her feel easy. She was able to photograph our Indian wedding with such class, that these memories will remain with us forever.

Hey, I'm Mary! It's nice to meet you. Summing up who I am in an "about me" is always difficult. What you must know: (1) I'm a nerd. If you want to talk video games, LOTR or Doctor Who, we HAVE to sit down for a bourbon or a coffee. (2) Yes, I will be out on that dance floor with you snapping away while joining in on the fun. And (3), while I'm a photographer first, supporting you during the planning process feels crucial to me - from building a timeline to having your back any way I can.

Having Mary as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our first phone call to engagement photos to the day of she was so helpful, warm, and organized; she made getting the photos we wanted and being where we needed to be at the right time feel so easy and fun.

Awarded Best of Zola
Erin and her girls were amazing from the moment I first reached out. Erin was always quick to respond and was super helpful with the entire planning process. Before my trial, Erin had looked up my social media so she already knew my vibe (simple and elegant). I showed her a few pictures and she had great ideas for the hairstyle. She helped me find the perfect hairpiece that made me confident I didn't want a veil. A few weeks before our wedding, we realized we were going to have a time crunch and within a few hours (late on a Monday evening), Erin added two girls to help so we wouldn't be stressed for time. Cassie did all of our hair and my make up. She was fast, efficient and very down to earth. Micaela helped with pre curls and she already seemed like she was a pro. Kylie did makeup for my bridesmaids and they all looked gorgeous. I cannot say enough great things about Erin & her crew. You won't regret booking with them.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

Chelcie and her team were hands down the best vendor we hired for our wedding. Chelcie is a true professional.

In addition to the amazing service we received the day of the wedding, Chelcie’s photography style, editing, and eye for detail make her a really special photographer.

Brent is considered one of the top wedding cinematographers based out of the Northeastern USA. He frequently travels the globe, documenting weddings for couples who deserve the best of the best. After growing up in Central Jersey, Brent chose to move down to Nashville for college and then shortly after graduation, officially founded 550Park out of New York City. He is a passionate tennis player, chef, and world adventurer.

I made the best decision on behalf of my clients by hiring 550Park as their wedding filmmaker. I was planning the wedding for my clients in New York City and Brent of 550Park was extremely very courteous, attentive, and professional towards myself and the bride. As a wedding planner, I have a longer list of videographers I wouldn't recommend than ones I would use again. However, I would and I will book Brent with 550Park again anytime! I always tell my brides that besides their wedding planner and photographer, their videographer will be the one in their face all day long. Hence, it matters how they make you feel and communicate with you. Brent made my clients feel comfortable and happy throughout the day. He was able to capture beautiful moments of my clients who are usually not comfortable in front of the camera, and made them feel so comfortable and 'confident in their skin'. 550Park truly did an amazing job!

Growing up I always had a camera in hand, documenting camping adventures, skateboard videos, and ridiculous skits, I captured everything! I filmed my first wedding in 2005 in Detroit for a family member, it was my first gig and I was excited about it. From then on I started to really put the time in to learn proper composition, lighting, and editing techniques. I started off as a videographer but have come to love photography just as much, because of this I am able to offer both photography and film services to our clients.

I love working with Jason! He is fantastic to work with and so professional! He makes the morning prep go smooth and easy! When I need to get in for bridal makeup, Jason sets up the most beautiful shots. I get to leave with a happy bride and fabulous photos for my portfolio! Highly recommend!!

My husband and I had the absolute best experience working with Trey and team. Trey truly took the time to learn about us as individuals, who we are together, what mattered to us most, and our vision for our wedding day. He is personable and professional and will truly feel like a friend that you are excited to see when the big day comes. Our video turned out better than we could’ve ever imagined and it is such a treasure to have such an elegantly captured representation of our day to look back on. It has also been the perfect way to share our experience with family and friends who weren’t able to make it. Watching the days events unfold through the perspective of a guest is such a cool experience and had us falling in love with the day all over again. Working with Trey was a flawless and stress free experience and took the pressure off us because he really was able to lead our team through the events seamlessly.

Carly from Rhoads to Memories was our videographer for our wedding in June 2023. I met her the previous year when searching for a videographer and we instantly hit it off and felt like friends right away! We spoke regularly and when she found out she was having a baby and her due date was only a few weeks after our wedding I still knew I wanted to stick with her as our videographer. I am so glad it all worked out and she gave birth only 3 days after our wedding. Personally, finding someone who is easy to talk to is one of the most important things when choosing vendors and that is exactly how Carly is! She is real, down to Earth, supportive, and very responsive to messages. Carly even helped sew my husband's suit pants right before our wedding when he had a hole in the seam! Our wedding video turned out amazing and we are so happy to have the memories she captured on film for years to come. Definitely recommend!

Hire Kate as your wedding photographer!! Kate was one of our absolute favorite vendors from our wedding and the day truly wouldn't have been the same or gone they way it did without her. From the initial meeting, to the check-ins, and the day-of, Kate was so kind and so professional. We had Kate photograph our welcome event the day before our wedding and it was a great way to get us and our guests comfortable before our big day. On the day of the wedding, we got so many compliments about Kate from the wedding party and our families. She made sure everyone knew where they needed to be, how to pose, and was so efficient with family photos before our ceremony. After the wedding, we received SO many sneak peeks within a week of the wedding and it was so fun getting to relive the day through her beautiful photography. If you're wondering if Kate is the right choice, just do it, you won't be disappointed! Thank you Kate for capturing our day and making everything so special.

Alexa and her team are incredible! Through the entire process she was incredibly detail orientated, engaging, supportive, and personable! I like to think I was a relatively lowkey bride, but I still don't know what I would've done without her and her team the day of the wedding - having them there just made the day even more easy and seamless. I have a very supportive family where my mom and aunts would've been more than willing to step in and help out, but having Alexa and her team there allowed my family to enjoy the day without the hassle of setting up/keeping everyone organized. Seriously cannot say enough good things! Easily the easiest easiest and best decision to work with them! I would without a doubt recommend Monarch Creative Events to anyone!

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves Dolton, IL

My name is Jana Blue and I've been photographing weddings for 12 years. I'm consistent not in a trend of photos or style, but emotions. Each wedding and couples are so unique and my work follows that. In my career I've photographed both big production weddings and also intimate DIY ones. I've photographed informal engagements and elopements/weddings in a desert in Chile, in the mountains of Zion, in a beach in Croatia, in an ancient church in Greece and in forests in Brazil. I work with all different budgets and needs from my brides. I'm a preferred vendor of Chicago First Lady Boat, so I do weddings on the boat during the summer.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we met Jana, we knew we had found our wedding photographer. Jana immediately made us feel comfortable and confident that she had our most important day well under control. She had us laughing and relaxed in our first meeting as she beamed through the zoom screen, exuding a true interest in our love story; and she was soo attentive to details - she brought up many important specifics that we wouldn't have thought of on our own. Our first opportunity to work with Jana was our engagement photos, that's when we, again, truly knew we made the right choice. Jana is very easy to work with, even though she's really specific in how she wants you to pose -- and the results were fantastic. When we got the engagement photos back, we saw how unique Jana's photography is. We looked great(!), but also...all the colors around us popped, she caught natural light in a really beautiful way, and the "stories" she told through our poses were all so special compared to the other photographers we looked into. Our wedding day threw every challenge possible at Jana... inclement weather, pushy-other-brides-photographers doing their shoots in the same space, and even a traffic-blocking protest when we were traveling to the venue... and Jana remained resilient, calm, and on-task. We booked a 2nd photographer, Gail, through Jana, who was also fantastic, our only regret from our special day was not booking Gail for longer, as both of them were able to capture every special moment of the ceremony/reception/formals. To ensure you get the whole days' events and both get-ready rooms, we highly recommend future couples to book both for the majority of the day. Thank you Jana and Gail, for making our special day memorable, perfect, and genuinely beautiful....and we have the photos to prove it!

Our wedding was in 2016. My husband and I knew we wanted comic book details in different parts of our wedding day; we did not anticipate flowers being an area we would do this. I also had a clear idea of what I didn’t want for floral. Enter Bunny. All I could tell her was: I love pink, roses are stupid, I like carnations, maybe some lilies if those were in season. This was not a lot to work with, and didn’t give her much direction. Y’all - she is so creative and talented!! She did paper flowers out of old comic books, found me a bunch of gorgeous pink flowers, added greenery, and did not include roses. My flower girls had flower wands and they loved them. My bouquet ribbon had The Hulk on it. Bunny thought of things I did not, and it was exactly perfect. You will absolutely not be disappointed if you hire her.

Hej, I’m Anders, originally from Denmark, I made the move to the United States in 2019 to marry my wonderful wife, Kristin. Photography has always been a passion of mine, and I've coupled that with my love for adventure. Whether it's traveling the world, scuba diving, hiking, or ultra running, I've always found ways to incorporate photography into these experiences. However, everything changed for me when I shot my first wedding. Being part of such a special day, filled with love and magic, made me realize that this is what I truly want to do.

Awarded Best of Zola
Anders went above and beyond, every step of the way. We first got to see him in action with our engagement photo shoot - He has an eye for capturing vibrant moments/expressions. His passion for photography was on full display, reframing shots until he found an interesting angle or artistic background. And the wedding day itself could not have been more smooth. He was highly present throughout the day but never intrusive. We have watched the video he compiled dozens of times. After the agreed upon ending time had passed and he was on his way out, he saw us doing karaoke, stopped and unpacked some equipment to capture a few more moments. You will not regret having him part of your wedding, or any other event you want to capture in a meaningful way.
