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.

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.

Chelcie and her team were hands down the best vendor we hired for our wedding. Chelcie is a true professional. Her calm demeanor made the day feel effortless for me and that I was in good hands no matter what was going on around me.

Hey there! I'm Kaedi, a master bridal and event stylist and owner of Lash Vandal Chicago. I am so grateful for the opportunity to beautify so many amazing people on their big day, rehearsal, galas, and just for life in general!

Awarded Best of Zola
Initially I was going to do my own hair. A crazy stupid idea I now realize. At the last minute I decided to browse through Zola to find a vendor and Kaedi popped up. She was responsive and uber-easy to work with. My hair trial at her salon was probably the least stressful part of wedding planning. I didn’t have any particular idea in mind but she put me at ease and we tried an all over curl before deciding on a stunning updo. Even with “not-quite” shoulder length hair she pulled it together and it came out STUNNING. It stayed in place all day and I would definitely work with Kaedi again! Also, doing separate vendors for hair and makeup gave me such a custom and unique look and I’m really happy I did it this way.

Dusti, our main point of contact, answered every question we had, no matter how small, and helped us stay focused on what truly mattered. Her coordination of the day, from directing people to organizing every last detail, was flawless. Dusti was overly prepared in the best way, staying on top of any potential issues and providing amazing recommendations for the decor. We are so grateful for the seamless and stress-free experience Indigo Moon Events provided, making our special day truly unforgettable.

Hello! My name is Brook! I am the owner and lead photographer of Forever Frozen Photography. Thank you for checking out my page! Let's jump right in! I have an amazing 4 year old son and my husband and I are newly married as of November 2022! I've been a professional photographer for about 8 years now enjoying every minute of it! My true passion when getting behind the lens is wedding photography. I pride myself in noticing the little details of special moments that happen during your wedding day, things that in maybe 30 years from now you may not remember of the day.

I cannot recommend Brook enough! She was so accommodating to our very small wedding. I didn’t have much of an idea for what I wanted for pictures and she was so patient and helped refine my vision and bring it to life!

We worked with Bloom Culture for our wedding and the process was easy and fun! Alison created beautiful flower recipes that were exactly what I pictured. The tutorial videos make the assembly process easy to follow and it was a lot of fun customizing the bouquets to my liking while using the flower formulas as a guide. The flowers were delivered in great condition and the flower guide helps you organize everything to make assembly easy. All you need are a few helpers and you are able to save a lot of money on flowers! I highly recommend Bloom Culture for DIY floral arrangements.

Hey, Im Grant. I'm a Madison, WI based wedding photographer who specializes in a documentary approach using both film and digital photography. If you want your wedding gallery to be uniquely yours (vs a Pinterest shotlist), then I'm your guy.

Grant is a skilled, creative, and decisive photographer, but what I feel sets him apart is the care and attention he gives each client. From my conversations with him and the work he shares on social media, it is so evident he puts careful thought into providing the best experience possible for each couple he works with. Bringing him on for your big day is definitely one of the best decisions you can make as you plan your wedding.

Laury was incredible to work with! We booked her for day of coordination services and she helped so much. She met with us to understand our vision and to provide direction so that we were realistic in how the day would look. She was extremely responsive in emails, texts, and calls. She communicated with all of our vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page and accommodated for! The day of the wedding, she was running around making sure everything was taken care of, and that we did not have a thing to worry about. She was constantly checking in to make get us anything we needed or to keep the day on track. I did not have a single worry the whole day! We forgot a pizza cutter (which we needed), and she literally went home and brought one for us!! She completely saved the day. I could not have had such a perfect wedding day without her. Highly recommend working with Laury, and I will definitely be recommending her to my friends and family!

Svat is a professional and an artist! We had a few hours set aside for photos before the ceremony and I honestly feel like we could have just taken pictures with Svat all day. He gives enough direction without it feeling like he's just shouting at you; the photos we've received so far are edited SO beautifully; and he worked with us to curate a mix of posed and candid shots to perfectly capture our big day! I feel like we got so lucky booking Svat and would definitely work with him again, given the opportunity!

I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I'm also a musician and I help craft most of the music in the wedding films I create. I love working with couples that have unique personalities and styles. My work resonates the most with who it's made for, and I always keep that audience in mind.

I was referred to Birch Fields by my cousin (who used Birch Fields for her wedding) 2 weeks before my June 2020 Covid wedding. We decided last minute to have the wedding even if it was just going to be immediate family. Because no extended family or friends were allowed at the time we wanted a way to record the day as if they were there. I had posted I was looking for someone to shoot on a VHS camcorder and film the whole wedding start to finish with no breaks just like old family videos we had growing up. Steven not only was up for the challenge, but spent his whole day capturing every detail of our wedding. We got copies of both 4k and VHS which is so special and cool. We were so impressed and absolutely loved Steven that we have since used him for my Sister-In-Laws baby shower and my Father-In-Laws 70s birthday party. Birch Fields is like family now!

Seeing others in their pics was one thing, but him capturing my big day and seeing them, I can’t thank them enough. Once on a lifetime events need to be captured by someone who can bring out the emotions and feelings in that day for years to come and he is the one who can do it. They were always responsive, super friendly and made my day go so much smoother. I don’t consider them just photographers, but also my friends now.
