Warm Advice 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $300
  • Serves Dolton, IL

New Orleans-based queer DJ specializing in LGBTQIA+ weddings. Locally serving New Orleans and Baton Rouge, also available for destination weddings! I'm here to make sure your wedding becomes the most unforgettable dance party your guests have ever been to 😎

I say this with the truest sincerity - our wedding reception would not have been the same without Warm Advice/Kendall. From the initial conversation to me changing up the timeline mid-party, Kendall was an absolute rockstar. It was super important to us to have queer/supportive vendors and we really hit the jackpot finding Warm Advice. I couldn’t imagine having another DJ vibing with us all night long. Ultimately, we had a few “hard nos” but otherwise mostly let Kendall do their thing and they absolutely killed it. The price point is unparalleled for the quality, professionalism, and creativity. I am quite certain this won’t be the last time we work with Kendall.

  • Team of 2
  • Serves Dolton, IL

Oser is a wedding hair styling service based in New York, New York. Owner Shaun has been a stylist for more than 13 years. She is passionate about her work, and she takes the time to understand each client’s needs. Her approach is designed to help you discover your own version of confidence. Your wedding is a day for joy and celebration, and Shaun wants to help you look and feel your best. She can’t wait to create a style you'll love.

Both Shaun and Bianca were incredible to work with. From the moment we met them, they made what could have been a very stressful situation very chill and fun. They were both able to perfectly understand what we wanted at our hair and make-up trials, and we needed almost no tweaking to anything after that. We were two brides with 7 people in our bridal parties needing hair and makeup, and the timing was managed beautifully without starting insanely early, which we were incredibly grateful for! They even brought on a third stylist, Mari, who did both hair and makeup and fit perfectly with our vibe. They kept us right on schedule and were just a pleasure to work with. We both loved our end looks, and our bridal party was super happy with everything they did. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a hair and makeup team for your big day (or any special event)!

Jason Verdin Photography

  • Photographer

  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Dolton, IL

I’m a high school English teacher, so all of that time I spend wrangling teenagers and getting them to do work helps me out when I’m directing your wedding party for photos. I love being a teacher, and I love the flexibility it gives me to pursue another passion of mine: photography.

Jason made us feel so comfortable during both our engagement photos, and on our wedding day. His personality allowed us to feel calm all day. He's second shooter, Jeremy, was just as outstanding. Jason's work is full of emotion, love, and talent. Choosing a photographer is very personal, and looking for the style you like can be challenging. Jason listened to what my dream was and was able to deliver just that. Jason's client portal is so easy to use, and allowed us to organize timeline, shot lists, etc. Jason sent us a substantial amount of "sneek peek" pictures the next day!!! Jason was able to customize a package that matched our exact needs & budget. If you are looking for a photographer to capture the quiet moments, Jason is 100% for you. I WILL be recommending Jason & his crew to all of my friends and family. Jason also does mini-photo shoots, family photos, etc.

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!!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you’re reading this review, you’re likely considering Steven and Wild Light Films as part of your big day. DO IT!! We were originally drawn to his unique style of work, music-video like approach, and storytelling ability in capturing the essence of people’s wedding days. Working with Steven was incredible and we can’t say enough about how much we loved his work. We booked him back in 2019 for our 2020 wedding, but of course with COVID we had to push it back a year. He was super flexible and accommodating, and we still figured out a plan to have video footage of an intimate ceremony in 2020, as well as the original plan for 2021. He did such an amazing job incorporating the two ceremonies together into one seamless video, which he turned around even quicker than we expected! Steven is a delight to work with—truly a genuinely kind person. His video editing craftsmanship and storytelling are compelling—rewatching our video + highlights felt like taking us right back to the memories and joy of our day. Do yourself and your future self a favor and get Steven to make your wedding video that you’ll cherish for years to come.

I'm a gentle guide towards ideal photographs for most folks who find being in front of the camera stressful. I'm always eager to listen carefully to my clients when they share about themselves so I can anticipate their needs.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ez was fantastic to work with for the wedding day. We met with them prior to a few times to discuss what the day itself would be like and what our hopes were. When the day arrived, Ez was there early and ready to go. They blended seamlessly into the guests of our wedding to get candid photos of people as well as beautiful clear shots of my husband and I. There was not a missed moment in all of the photos taken, including a few of my husband with his childhood pup who passed away not long after the event. After the wedding, we received our photos quickly and every single one was perfect. We ordered a bunch of different images to have printed for family and around our home. In all of the photos, the colors pop and everything is so vibrant. I'm beyond happy with Ez as our photographer and continue to recommend them to anyone looking.

Zachera Photo

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $5,600
  • Serves Dolton, IL

Love and storytelling have been the anchors of my life. What began with theatre and paint evolved into my photography career, and I learned love from the very best. This art form allows me to celebrate beauty and hold a mirror to what I believe is the best part of our existence - joy. For this, my heart overflows with gratitude.

Awarded Best of Zola
I don't even know where to begin with Zachera. She is a truly special human being, and it was an absolute honor to have her documenting our most intimate and special moments during our wedding day (and engagement shoot). If you go to her website, it'll tell you what you need to know about her and her work, but what it doesn't do is detail exactly how amazing she is and how amazing she'll make you feel. Before we officially booked Zachera, she set up a FaceTime meeting with us (we're in different states) and wanted to know our story so that she could ensure that we were the right fit for each other - an important step to making sure your day is going to be smooth and capture what you're envisioning! After we booked her she was nothing but exceedingly kind, helpful, and accommodating. I can't say enough how wonderful it was having her there on our wedding day. She really enhanced our entire experience, and I can't imagine our day without her help and guidance and kindness. I am a self-conscious person who worries often what I'm going to look like in pictures, and that's not something you want to think about on your wedding day. Zachera helped make me feel like the most beautiful bride, with genuine sincerity. Outside of Zachera being a great human, her work is absolutely stunning. It speaks for itself- you just need to look at her samples and you'll know. It makes you feel things. I don't know anything about photography but I do know that looking at her work conveys actual thoughts and feelings and not just images. Please consider sharing your day with someone like Zachera, and rest easy knowing that your memories will be lovingly preserved.

Hannah received the vendors, coordinated the setup, and made sure the entire day ran seamlessly. We didn't have to worry about a single thing!

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.

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!

Meraki Salon Services was a pleasure to work with for our wedding day beauty needs. They were quick to reply to our inquiries and easy to get in touch with, which made the planning process much smoother. On the day of, the quality of their work was great and the looks lasted beautifully throughout the entire event. They were also flexible in meeting us at our hotel to provide the services, which was incredibly convenient. We were able to treat our mothers to a hair and makeup moment and our bridal party loved the results and not having to worry about their looks for the day. Everyone felt beautiful and confident. While the final looks were still stunning, we felt they didn't fully understand our vision - the bridal hair trial didn't fully translate, and the bridal makeup ended up more neutral than the requested pinky/peach tones with less dramatic eye makeup than planned. Overall though, it was a great value and we were happy with how everything turned out.

I love photographing weddings. Between my second photographer and myself, we have photographed over 2,000 weddings. You can rest assured that your wedding images will be amazing and you will treasure them for a lifetime.

Ian Borgerhoff will forever be the vendor I recommend most!!! Not only are his photos beautiful, but he has a fun personality to work with as well. One of the many things our bridal parties loved about working with Ian was his educational session on how to best pose and smile for photos in the most flattering ways. This definitely helped our friends that aren’t very comfortable in front of the camera. Another reason I loved having Ian as my wedding photographer is because unlike most photographers, he gives you the option of receiving all Raw and unedited photos taken during your wedding day. This was HUGE to me because the wedding day goes by in a flash so I wanted every image I could get, even those with someone’s eyes closed or looking goofy because each photo was special to me. In fact, the edited photos totaled to nearly 2,000 images and the raw and unedited photos (every single photo taken through the entire day by Ian and his second photographer) was a whopping 15,000 and I could not be happier! It was so fun to relive the wedding day by going through all the images and because Ian is so awesome, he let me send him over a hundred more unedited photos that I loved and he took the time to edit every single one of them in his style. What I love about Ian’s editing style is that his photos don’t look overly edited. I personally am not a fan of when photographers edit photos heavily in order to give them a “moody” or “airy” vibe; I want the photo to feel like a moment captured in time. With Ian’s editing, the colors feel vibrant and beautiful without feeling artificial, forced, or overly trendy. We decided to also purchase our wedding album through Ian and he had been SO helpful with adjusting layouts and being patient as I went through every option for it. He has been so helpful and we absolutely love working with Ian. We even loved working with his second photographer as well. As the bride, I loved that Ian stuck by my side all day and had his second photographer with my groom and his groomsmen to ensure every moment was captured. Hiring Ian was the easiest decision of our wedding planning and we couldn’t be happier with the photos we received. Thank you so much Ian for capturing our perfect day beautifully!

Hi, I’m Sophie! As a Travel Planner specializing in weddings, honeymoons, and all trips tied to your big day, I handle everything from hotel bookings and contract negotiations to transportation and curated experiences. My goal is to take the stress out of planning so you can focus on celebrating. Let’s turn your dream wedding or honeymoon into reality!

I had the pleasure of working with Sophie with my travel arrangements for my wedding in South Florida, and she was nothing short of amazing. From securing luxurious accommodations for ourselves and our guests to coordinating seamless transportation between multiple locations, Sophie took all of the stress off of our shoulders. Her local knowledge of Miami, etc. was invaluable—she recommended a beautiful boutique hotel and many hidden gems for our honeymoon to boot. Even with some last-minute changes, Sophie handled everything calmly and efficiently, ensuring that every detail was taken care of. Her ability to make the travel aspect of a wedding feel effortless is truly remarkable. Our friends couldn’t have been more grateful, and I was so impressed by her professionalism and warmth throughout the entire process. There are always challenges around weddings I know, but Sophie handled all of ours like an absolute professional.

This past year marked 10 years since I shot my first wedding. I’ve met so many wonderful couples which grew into lasting friendship, and photographed some amazing events. Capturing candid moments, posing beautiful portraits, bringing out personalities and making weddings fun and relaxed are hugely important to me! Beyond just capturing the day, I help every client with their timeline from the day we first chat, to pre-planning meetings, and the wedding day itself. My favorite clients are the ones that are down to earth and want to enjoy the organic moments of their wedding day.

I can not wait to have Rebecca capture more of my special family moments. My husband and I eloped on October 23rd and snagging Rebecca to capture our day was the first thing to check off on our list! Rebecca was natural, made us feel comfortable, directed us, got excited with us, and was a seamless addition to our special day! She was also fast with her response and detailed with her information. We knew we wanted to elope at Turkey Run State Park in the afternoon but were also flexible with the exact time because of weather. . . and she was flexible with us! She was more than willing to hike over a mile through the woods with us, gear in tow, up and down rocky and wooden steps – to capture the moment. The day before we eloped, she let us know she was keeping track of weather and proposed we meet earlier to avoid the rain and catch the good sun! It was so wonderful knowing she had our backs and was aligned with our intentions for the day! We surprised our families the evening of our elopement with the wonderful news and Rebecca sent us sneak peeks and a video of our vows to share with them (that very same day). I was blown away and didn’t know we could be so lucky to share photos and a video with loved ones just hours later. Rebecca also curated the loveliest video, paired with a sweet song, that I will forever cherish (she sent it while we were on our honeymoon)! It was completely unexpected and is a testament to her talent and love of capturing families in their most special moments. When we got the photos back, they looked exactly how that day felt to us. Casual, natural, fun, and timeless. The photos were stunning, she captured and our happiness so well. She is so thoughtful and immensely talented! I feel honored to have had her photograph our elopement.

Featured on Today show and Wedding Day Magazine. I believe everyone deserves to have life's biggest moments captured on camera. But photos turn into heirlooms when the moments are documented in a way that feels absolutely authentically you. No forced emotions, no fake smiles, and certainly no awkward prom-pic poses. Whether you’re dressed to the nines on the day of your wedding or, the dirty white dress that spent more time on the dance floor than the altar let’s capture the authentic you and have a damn good time doing it.

It’s hard to put into words how incredible Mary is. From the moment we booked her, we knew we had made the right choice. Mary meticulously crafted mood boards, timelines and provided invaluable advice from the engagement shoot to the wedding. She has a warm and vibrant spirit that makes you feel comfortable and excited. We found many times throughout the wedding day we felt most calm with Mary while taking pictures. You won’t find another photographer like her, willing to go the extra mile to deliver a vision. We cannot thank Mary enough for our beautiful photos. They are mementos of a perfect day we will cherish forever.

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!

Kirsten Wray Photography was absolutely fantastic to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Kirsten's communication style was direct, effective, and genuinely sweet - she immediately put us at ease as a couple who doesn't usually love being in front of the camera. Despite having a huge family that was challenging to wrangle, Kirsten was professional, prompt, and thorough in getting all the group shots we wanted. The finished photos are of excellent quality and editing, capturing all the special moments of our day in a way that exceeds our expectations. Kirsten went above and beyond to deliver amazing photos, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We highly recommend Kirsten Wray Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

Nancy was AMAZING to work with! Nancy was my MUA for my wedding during the hot month of August. I was afraid that due to the hot weather my makeup would melt off, but it did not! Throughout the whole night my makeup stayed intact - despite being done early in the morning. My makeup along with the rest of my bridal party stayed on throughout the whole night - and we all loved it! Nancy is the sweetest person, very professional, and is super attentive to detail. I would definitely recommend her for any events that you may have, because I sure will :)

Hi there! I’m the Jill in JTP. I started this company back in 2010 and have since expanded the team to include other amazing creatives. Working with people, telling stories, and documenting moments are the things I'm most passionate about in my work. Outside of photography – I love to travel and try anything new. I'm at peace in the mountains, or anywhere with a breeze on my face. But I also love sitting on the couch sandwiched between my husband, dog, and two cats.

I HIGHLY recommend partnering with Jill to capture your engagement photos and wedding day. Jill and her team know how to authentically capture the joy and magic of these major life events with artistic, sentimental flare. She is a true professional, who made us feel heard and prioritized when working together. On our wedding day, she and Kyle effortlessly led our family and wedding parties through the formal portraits, while maintaining a warm, calm demeanor. And the photos speak for themselves. These shots will be cherished and loved in our family for decades to come, and we cannot thank Jill enough for beautifully capturing these special, magical moments in our relationship.

Tress N Glow was a great service provider for my wedding! They matched me with a makeup artist, Sumayyah, that was able to give me exactly the look I wanted (Indian bridal meets Sabrina Carpenter). I’ve never felt more beautiful! I did an in-home trial so we could fine tune the look as I don’t know much about makeup. I strongly recommend the trail because it made the day-of run so much more smoothly! Sumayyah came to our venue and knew exactly what I wanted, and even helped my mom, sister, and I get into our elaborate dresses. I loved working with her!
