I love the whole experience with IG PHOTO VIDEO. The videographers were very professional. We got absolutely stunning videos. They captured funny, romantic, candid moments. The full video shows everything: the full ceremony, full reception, getting ready, first look—the whole wedding day. The highlight, with our wovs and guest interview, is amazing. Also, we picked music for the videos—our best songs. The teaser—we posted it on our social media and all our friends loved it; we got a hundred comments. Perfect! The salesperson was very helpful in planning, very helpful with the timeline, and very quick to respond to our emails and text messages. You only get one chance to capture your day, and IG PHOTO VIDEO did a phenomenal job here! A big bonus was how quickly our videos arrived. It did not take long at all for our USB to arrive, and video files. If you are looking for a cost effective, and high quality company that focuses on their customers, IG PHOTO VIDEO is a great choice.

I was that kid enchanted by Disney Princess movies and the idea of "true love". My true love revealed itself through photography. At 8, I grabbed my dad's camera and was hooked, thrilled to show people my world. I started with zoo animals, friends, and siblings, eager to freeze moments in time. As I grew, I learned from local photographers and knew by 17 that photography was my calling. Since then, I’ve captured love in all its forms: couples, new parents, best friends, and the joy of seeing your favorite band live. The world is full of magical firsts, and I'm honored to capture these moments forever.

First off just like that, the day got a whole lot better now that you are here! But let’s get one thing straight: if you are here, I want you to feel free to be YOU! Being true to who you are makes this process a hell of a lot easier! This is a judgment-free free safe space, and I want you to be as comfortable as humanly possible! Now that’s out the way, I'm Jovan Kiah, specializing in wedding and portrait photography located somewhere in the cornfields of Indiana. But always prepared for a photography adventure, I’m already packed with a suitcase of snacks, my passport, & playlist that spans from Disney musicals to '90s R&B hits.

Jovan was absolutely amazing to work with. On our calls before the big day, she was always so happy and excited and answered all of our questions and it gave us such a sense of ease. I never once had to worry or stress about photos. Day of the wedding she completely killed it. She was still her happy self but was able to organize us and snap some amazing photos. She did a fantastic job of even catching the perfect small moments, some of which I didn’t even know she was capturing. The photos are all so naturally beautiful and I can’t even begin to describe how much we love them. They are clean and bright and show us, our personalities, and our people perfectly. 100% the best decision we made.

Hello! We are a husband and wife company. We have covered over 1000 weddings in less than 5 years all across the USA, Canada, and Mexico. We love to travel so much that we keep our prices affordable- giving us the opportunity to cover all over the USA (no travel fees). Our most popular package is our Red Carpet which gives our clients up to 10 hours of photo and video coverage, 505+ edits, and 2 wedding videos (with the whole ceremony). Check out our FB or Youtube for HUNDREDS of weddings we shot in the past.

We were so impressed by 505 media and their quick responses and quality of photo/video they took! From the initial phases of planning, they were quick to respond and eager to help in the planning process of making sure timelines were manageable. They were able to capture all of the milestones during the day and were even willing to hop on our party bus when we wanted footage of the wedding party driving around! We were so impressed by how quick the photos were delivered! We received a text while on our honeymoon the week after our wedding that our edited photos were done and one week later we received all our pictures! You don’t hear that often from photography companies! We also watched our wedding video trailer today (which was delivered in less than 2 months from our wedding) and can’t stop watching it! I would recommend 505 media to anyone!!

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.

He is down-to-earth and makes you feel like he and his team are just old friends hanging out with you throughout the day. His videography style and music choices drew us to him in the first place, and he did not disappoint. He captured every magical detail, and we're so thankful to have chosen Birchfields.

  • Serves Gardner, IL

I've picked up a camera just about every day since I fell in love with photography in 2013. Though every shoot holds something unique, it takes a lot to catch me off guard after nearly a decade in business. I pride myself on my ability to quickly connect with my clients, making them feel comfortable, cared for, and confident that they look great. Not every event I’m at goes exactly according to plan and I know how to roll with the punches. Being a helpful and calming presence in the midst of your wedding is second nature to me. Basically, I try to treat people how I want to be treated: with fairness and understanding!

Awarded Best of Zola
Zach was absolutely amazing to work with! We were quick to book with him after clicking so well at our first meeting. We booked an engagement session separate from the wedding booking and were so glad we did! He provided great direction and conversation, helping two socially awkward folks feel comfortable and look like superstars. He was on time and professional for our wedding day, taking care to make sure we covered our photo list and suggesting a few shots that wound up as some of our favorites. He returned our images exactly on schedule and WOW! We were blown away! The photos exactly capture my memory of the wedding day. We would hire Zach again in a heartbeat!

Nelena and Dom took photos at my rustic/modern wedding at cider mill in Princeton, Illinois. Once the four of us met, my husband and I loved how easy it was to speak to Nelena and Dom and how they immediately understood where we were coming from. As introverts we wanted a photographer with a larger-than-life personality, someone who would find candid moments on our day and Andreoni Photography really brought the fun. I can’t stress enough how truly wonderful our experience was. The two of them worked so well together. They brought so much excitement and fun when capturing photos of our wedding party. Nelena and Dom were always so responsive to my many questions and concerns I had. I could expect a response from either of them within 24 hours and usually much quicker than that. The first time my now-husband and I saw the photos, we melted! We had a date night and snuggled up on the couch, and loaded the photos onto our big screen. It truly felt like we were back on our special day. We loved the unique poses and fun and intimate moments Andreoni photography captured. I had no idea our small town wedding could look so incredibly beautiful. The finished photos ooze class, sophistication and refinement.

Ok, so we weren’t actual clients, but hear me out! My niece was getting married in the same venue as her wedding. Unfortunately, my niece’s wedding coordinator didn’t show up. Candice had a few quick moments while waiting for her wedding party to go inside and noticed a couple details that were off. She took a brief second to make a suggestion and fix my niece’s dress before she walked down the aisle. You can tell craft is her passion! She didn’t take any attention from her bride, in fact, I’m sure without this review the bride would have never known. However, when something is your passion you enjoy what you do and share your heart when you need to. I just wanted to say a quick THANK YOU for those few fleeting moments of assistance.

I value capturing your moments and memories exactly how they happen, helping you to remember the feelings of intimacy, love, and warmth of marrying your person.

I don't even have the words to tell y'all how amazing Jayde is. We are SO grateful we reached out to Jayde back in 2022 for our engagement shoot and immediately knew we needed to hire her for our April 2024 wedding. From the very beginning, Jayde was super professional, patient, and on top of it, not to mention SO friendly and warm. She made me and my husband feel so special and comfortable in front of her camera, and our entire bridal party loved her too. She created a seamless timeline for the day that worked so well and she made sure we were on time all day. The photos truly speak for themselves. She has an amazing eye and we are obsessed with her editing style. She surprised us with over 100 (!!!) previews the next morning and they were INCREDIBLE - we were blown away and shocked that she could turn them around that quickly. We are so so so excited to see our full gallery soon. Don't hesitate to book Jayde - she's truly a gem in the Chicago wedding industry. We can't wait to find another reason to book her!

The Local Petaler is a wedding and event floral design studio based in St. Charles, IL. The business started as a part-time venture just over 4 years ago in my mom's garage and quickly blossomed (awful pun) into a full-fledged career. With at least 100 weddings produced under The Local Petaler and countless others worked on as a freelance designer for other companies, I've done a little bit of everything at every venue. You're in good hands!

Jen is an amazing and talented florist. And she had the kindest heart! We were to be married on 4/4/2020 (not ideal timing with the COVID-19 pandemic) and Jen was by far our easiest vendor to reschedule. She remained incredibly flexible with new dates and seasonal changes. We held a small backyard wedding in October and she did an amazing job with my bouquet (it was the perfect size!) and made an incredibly beautiful flower arch that was a showstopper in our pictures. I can not recommend Jen enough! You will not be disappointed. We are very excited to use her again for our wedding reception this July.

Hey there! I’m a weddings and couples photographer based in Chicago, IL with my partner Emily and my rescue dog Daxter. I’m here to document joy and celebrate all the meaningful moments with the kickass people that find me.

Sam is wonderful! Sam was the photographer for our rooftop wedding in Chicago. We had an amazing experience, start to finish. Sam took the time to sit down with us beforehand to discuss the vibe we were going for and any special details for our event. That extra time for us to get to know him was so huge in helping us feel comfortable and relaxed when the time came to get in front of the camera. On the day of our wedding, Sam was awesome with our friends and family—he got every shot that we hoped for and so many more. No joke, TONS of our guests commented to us how fun and friendly he is and we were like, WE KNOW, he's the best! Our photos turned out so, so well. Sam nailed the portraits, he nailed the candids, he nailed the night-time dance floor shots (and it was DARK). He can do it all and he's just a pleasure to work with.

We booked Taber for our wedding. She was absolutely incredible. She arrived at the venue early, to capture my daughter's and I getting ready before the rest of my wedding party arrived and that was so special to me. Taber captured moments without us even realizing she was there, and those memories we will cherish forever. Our photos turned out absolutely breathtaking! She was so easy and fun to work with. She's professional, fun, experienced and knowledgeable. You will not be disappointed! We highly recommend Taber!

Hi! I'm John, a wedding photographer based in Chicago, IL. I believe deeply that great wedding photography is about creating imagery that is as visually compelling, as it is emotionally significant. Weaving the images together to tell unforgettable stories. My distinct 'documentary meets fine-art' style is a product of my unrelenting commitment to my craft and the complete trust that my couples place in me. I primarily cover weddings in the Chicagoland area, but I will travel to any destination worldwide for those seeking an adventure.

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot express enough how much I enjoy working with Taylor & Jarod! They are not only very talented, yet very fun to work alongside with. The always produce amazing quality work, and their communication with me as the coordinator is always punctual. I of course have them on my Preffered Vendor List and highly highly recommend them to my couples. You will have such a fun time with these two, and all of your special moments will be captured- garenteed! True professionals.

At Wedding Love Film: BRIDAL STUDIO, wedding videography is my passion. With 18 years of experience, I connect deeply with each couple to capture the authentic emotions and unique moments of their wedding day. My all-inclusive service includes personalized consultations, full-day coverage, and beautifully edited films on a custom USB—no travel fees. Let’s create a wedding film that reflects your love story in a way you’ll cherish forever.

Anthony was easy to work with at the wedding. I was a DJ at the wedding I worked with him and from an artistic standpoint, what I saw of his work so far was great. Just like the rest of the vendors at this wedding, he went with the flow and went above and beyond to give the couple the best experience they could get especially under the crazy weather circumstances we had! Rain almost all day, thunderstorms, a tornado warning (it was an outdoor tent wedding) and some high winds that almost took out the tent! Despite that, he remained positive and fun. His needs from me were minimal (tapping into my sound system) and he made sure I wasn't busy when he asked me about it. If the rest of his work is as good as the little I've seen so far, you can't go wrong with his video service!
