Grace in Chaos Photography

  • Photographer

  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Gilberts, IL

I've always been a creative at heart, my own mother is an artist so maybe it's genetic? However, photography was never on my radar. One fateful day, a friend reached out to me requesting engagement photos for her and her love. My iPhone and I were absolutely honored at the opportunity! After the debut of those beautiful, phone quality captures, the inquiries came rolling in! I was pleasantly surprised and within months decided it was only right to invest in proper gear. Officially established in 2021, I've been beyond blessed with the chance to meet so many wonderful people and capture their once in a lifetime moments! Anya Grace 🖤

Anya is a highly talented photographer. I struggle with following simple directions, which may be due to the language barrier as English is not my native language. However, Anya was extremely patient with me. I hired her twice for my wedding and graduation pictures, but I actually worked with her three times, including engagement photos, the wedding, and the graduation shoot. She made me feel like a celebrity in all the pictures. I highly recommend her to everyone.

Steve was absolutely amazing. He went above and beyond to help out on my wedding day. From digging dirt for our unity tree, to holding back branches while our photographer took pictures, Steve does it all. Besides that, I absolutely love his video style. He captured every detail beautifully and I’m so thrilled I’ll have these moments to watch forever. Also, his turnaround time with the highlight video was unbelievable. I think we got to relive our wedding day like 4 days after it happened. Steve was such a pleasure to work with, and I highly, highly recommend him.

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 😎

Warm Advice was one of the only stress-free parts of our wedding day. Their communication style was clear, thoughtful, and creative - they asked all the right questions to make sure we had the exact vibes we wanted (and not the ones we didn't). Despite a lot of last-minute chaos, they were incredibly adaptable and helped keep the party filled with love and good energy all night long. As a queer couple, it was a godsend to work with DJs who "got it" without needing a full cultural immersion lesson. The quality of their work was truly exceptional - they were worth every penny and more. If you want a wedding DJ who know how to bring a party to life, Warm Advice is your pick.

Roman Lorek Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, they were great communicators - open, honest, and responsive to all of our questions and requests. Their work is truly high quality, with an artistic and beautiful style that captured all the special moments of our day. They went above and beyond, making thoughtful suggestions and recommendations that helped make our wedding day even more perfect.

We recently had the absolute pleasure of working with John at Chicago Top DJ for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the beginning, John was professional, personable, and really took into account our vision for the day. He was so easy to work with and made our reception unforgettable. The planning process was seamless. John took the time to meet with us beforehand to understand our preferences and what vibe we were going for. He helped us curate the perfect playlist, blending our favorite songs with crowd-pleasers that got everyone on the dance floor. He even took note what songs we wanted to avoid and he made sure not to play them. On the big day, John was amazing. His charisma and energy were infectious. He read the room and played exactly what the crowd needed over the course of the night. From the cocktail hour to the last song, the music was spot-on. He perfectly balanced the mood, starting with more relaxed tunes and gradually building to a high-energy party that had everyone, young and old, dancing until the very end. John interacted with the crowd, hyped people up, and created an amazing atmosphere. He had great transitions and timing for announcements. We didn’t worry about a thing during the reception, he took care of keeping track of the timeline and made everything stress-free so we really could just enjoy. We and our guests had an incredible time dancing the night away. It was exactly what we wanted. John went above and beyond to make our wedding day special, and we’ll be forever grateful for the memories he helped us create. We could not recommend him enough, he knows how to throw an unforgettable party.

I contacted Fierce to help me plan a happily ever after party to celebrate with friends and family after we eloped during COVID. Many of the the party planning companies I'd talked to seemed confused or uncomfortable with this slightly unconventional request - but not Fierce! They had great ideas, great advice and went out of their way to find vendors, decor and ideas that exactly matched our vision. Olivia and Laura were on top of all the timing and details throughout the process and always available and helpful. The party went off without a flaw or worry. What a great experience!

I was that person that did not think I needed a wedding planner! I decided last minute I needed one and I had interviewed 4 people and Christena was the only one that made me feel comfortable! Christena helped keep me organized, in control, and confident that I would be able to get through this! She brought things to my attention that I had no clue I needed to do. During the rehearsal dinner she got everyone in line and made sure everyone knew exactly what they were doing. The day of the wedding Christena and her assistant Jill knew literally handled everything from making sure my vision was brought to life, to making sure everything ran accordingly to plan, and making sure all items that were mine were organized and set aside for my family to gather at the end of the night. I cannot sing Christena’s praises enough! You are getting more than a wedding planner with her! If you are on the fence about this do not be, it is the best money well spent!!!

He was punctual to the wedding, and his professionalism and laid back style, was perfect for us and our wedding. By the time we got home from our wedding reception, he had already sent us some edited photos. Caleb’s editing style also matches the look we were after. He always had pose suggestions for us, constant ideas for how to take group shots large or small. He made us, our family and our wedding guests VERY comfortable.

She always got back to us just under 24 hours and answered every question that we had. She is dedicated to her clients and their needs. I enjoyed being in her company because she made us feel comfortable. She understood our needs and never pressured us to do anything out of our comfort zone. We are a more laid back, care-free couple, so we gave Ashley lots of space to experiment and it definitely paid off.

Our Services include: Glam Your Space- Event Design and Event Decor that compliments the event experience Wow Your Guests- Event Planning and Management that covers you from A to Z.

As an Entertainment Director/Event Manager myself, I’m blown away by Franklin. It was important for me to hire someone I could trust to handle the organization for my wedding day. After our first meeting with Franklin, I knew he understood what we wanted. I was thrilled to know he was available for our wedding, and I feel like we couldn’t have made a better choice. Before the wedding day, I was so relieved when Franklin came over to pick up all the decor. He even stopped by on the morning of the wedding to check on us and pick up any last-minute items. This alone really touched me because many people don’t go that extra mile, but Franklin does! I was seriously stressing about how to get those items delivered, and Franklin came right along and eased all that stress! He took our ideas and exceeded our expectations. We are Funko Pop collectors, so we wanted a fun way to incorporate them into our wedding decor, and he did it with ease. He surprised us several times throughout the event, and those memories are some of my favorite moments. When he revealed the reception dining room, which he had decorated for us, I was filled with chills. I couldn’t believe he took my simple idea and made it look so GRAND; it was next level. Then we walked over to the cookie and cake table, where I was seriously at a loss for words. I was blown away by the details he displayed in his decorating. It seemed like a scene from a movie. Before walking down the aisle, we learned that one of our food caterers was extremely late delivering the food and potentially wasn’t going to deliver it at all. Franklin was calm but still urgent in his demeanor, and I totally appreciated his proactive professionalism. Moments like these can really test any event coordinator's patience and could cause a domino effect. I don’t know exactly what happened or what he did, but all the food was there and ready to be served when it was time to eat. Our guests LOVED our wedding. They all mentioned how different and elevated our wedding was, and I’m 100% sure that had a lot to do with Franklin’s hard work. We wanted something unique, and he delivered. Overall, I’m truly grateful to have met Franklin and want to also shine some light on his assistant, Will. Both of their A, fun, efficacious attitudes just make everything better. I was able to kick back and watch my wedding day unfold beautifully. For those who work in events/entertainment, you know how hard it is to go to any event and not feel like you’re working, especially your own event (lol). Franklin is a star, and I’m sure he’s going to go far in the event business. He understands the importance of an event and how each event is personally unique. Most importantly, he takes the time to know and understand his clients.

I had no idea what I wanted when I first met with Nicole. She was so patient and professional with all of my needs for my special day (wedding)! We discussed colors, ideas and what my vision was for the and she blew me away with the flower designs she came up with. I think I had as many compliments on my flowers as I did on my dress that day!
