Awarded Best of Zola
2020 was a difficult year for many reasons, but weddings were especially tough to make happen in this calendar year. But what made it even more difficult was having to plan 2 different weddings. The first being a 10 month planned wedding in Joshua Tree, California, until we had to cancel it due to COVID in November a month before it was supposed to happen. My now husband and I scrambled to reset for a smaller ceremony in Illinois instead to allow at least his family to attend and have it at his sister's home in Huntley, IL. We only had one month to reset. One of the most important things for us was photography, and although we had spent most of our savings on the cancelled wedding and we had no hope in recovering most of that back or even soon enough to help with the 2nd wedding, we knew we had to put forth the money and make the right choice for a photographer to document our day as best as possible so that our love ones who couldn't make it could experience that day through the right lens. Justin Vaughn of JVaughn Photography LLC was the right lens and so much more! He worked very closely with us via online google meetings, with a minor setback, which was we couldn't have an in person engagement photo session with him (since we were based in Wyoming and wouldn't arrive in Illinois until closer to the ceremony). Justin prefers to complete an engagement photo session, which comes already included in a lot of his packages, before the wedding to get to know us as a couple and make sure we get the shots we prefer. However even without the engagement session, through our online meetings, we were able to discuss who we are and Justin had that personal touch as though we were talking to an old friend. We established the narrative and story telling that we hoped to have for the day. Justin took detailed notes and had a list of shots to take for the day. But his improvisation and artistic eye was also excellent and he captured moments that we had never thought of that were so beautiful and amazing. In addition to the photography he also did minor videography to provide us a highlight reel, which was beyond what we expected! Throughout the day he was also very much a ninja in capturing the right moments beautifully without obstructing the views of guests present. I would recommend him for any photography need, he truly is an artist that captures the moments you wanted and so much more!

At Max 10 Entertainment, our mission is to create immersive events that resonate in the hearts and minds of our clients and their guests.

We had a very positive experience with Max 10 Entertainment and highly recommend them for your wedding DJ!! Marcia is very professional, easy to work with, responsive, and we were very happy not only with the planning, Melvin and Marcia did an excellent job day of!! He played beautiful ceremony music and kept the night flowing perfectly! In planning for our wedding, Marcia has a questionnaire that we reviewed together and he had great suggestions for the schedule, realistic times for things, songs in areas we were stuck, and all of that was very helpful! Throughout the night, they kept the guests informed as needed, but was not an overbearing DJ, which is what we were looking for. We really enjoyed working with Melvin and Marcia and highly recommend Max 10 Entertainment!!

Working with Dawn was such an amazing experience from the very beginning. She designed my bouquets, table centerpiece, boutonnières, and corsages for my wedding. She responded to all of my ramblings about things I wanted and was able to create exactly what I had in mind but had a hard time describing. When she delivered me my bouquet in the morning, I cried! I could tell she put so much blood, sweat, and tears into making my blooms for my wedding perfect which was so appreciated. I plan to always use Dawn & SunCrest Blooms for all of my bloom needs in the future!

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!

My passion is capturing the unique love stories of couples who are wildly in love and unafraid to be themselves.

I aim for the dreamy, romantic, fairytale feeling from start to finish.

There are so many photographer options it gets very confusing quickly. Book an appointment with Brianna and immediately she will understand your vision and put your mind at ease. She loves what she does, and that shines thought in the amazing photos she is able to capture. She gets pictures that I didn't realize I needed! Her entire team is full of great people who are kind, caring, and want you to get the best pictures possible. She responds quickly to requests and always delivers more than she promises.
