I have hired Mouna more than once, for my wedding and for some other occasions I've had. The artistic expression in her photos never seized to amaze me every single time. I found myself obsessed with the photos, going over them endlessly. If you want a photographer who's super talented and who turns the photo session into a pleasant experience, Mouna is the one.

Bonnie Drake Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,100
  • Serves Lake Villa, IL

I've been passionate about documenting and creating since I was a little girl running wild in the suburbs of St. Paul. I would steal my parent's film camera and take dozens (okay maybe hundreds) of blurry photos of our dog. In high school, I spent babysitting money on a polaroid and then finally my beloved point and shoot, which was my favorite accessory for a night out! I was gifted my first DSLR in my early twenties, and that changed the way I looked at the role photography played in my life. What was always a beloved hobby became my passion, and I've never been happier.

Awarded Best of Zola
Bonne was our photographer for our wedding in April 2022, and we are SO HAPPY we found her. We considered photographers that had a second shooter, but honestly didn’t feel like we missed out at all as Bonnie did such a great job. Bonnie is so nice and has a way to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. We did an engagement shoot which was a great way to know Bonnie and get some beautiful pictures for our invitations. We lived out of state at the time and Bonnie was super flexible to accommodate our schedule when we were visiting and recommended a great location. On our wedding day, Bonnie was very professional and organized which kept us on schedule while also making sure we weren’t worried about timing or about missing out on photos. We really wanted to be at our cocktail hour and she made it happen! But what really stands out is Bonnie’s eye for picking out great locations and capturing photos in the moment. The portrait shots were well framed and the candid photos really captured the emotions of the day. We snuck away with Bonnie to take some golden hour photos and they turned out so well! Bonnie had scoped out locations around our venue the day before which allowed for us to quickly sneak away to an awesome local. She is so talented! We love our photos and would recommend her to anyone!

Bisoux Event Co.

  • Planner
  • Offers 3 services
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Lake Villa, IL

We were born from lessons learned by tackling the most important wedding to date; my own. A planner to my core, I never considered the need for assistance when planning and executing my wedding. And while I threw a truly great party, it came at the expense of me enjoying my own wedding. I took away from the experience the hard truth that just because I could, didn’t mean I should, and have turned that into something that I truly love; watching other couples bask in their moment, stress-free. We offer a variety of wedding and honeymoon services with the simple mission of creating beautiful, unique events that feel as good as they look.

Awarded Best of Zola
Planning a wedding is stressful, if you’re looking at this review…chances are you know what I’m talking about! I went with Bisoux Event Co for day of coordinator services. Lisa came to my final walk through - and she was on top of everything in the best way. Asking all the right questions, things I hadn’t even thought of, took notes - she was so organized. I could finally take a breath, my day of coordinator was there to the rescue. Afterwards, we grabbed a beer and talked even more about the wedding plans. She was available to answer questions anytime via text, email and helped me with all the final details and staying organized for the day of the wedding. She came to our hotel the weekend of the wedding for a ceremony run through and we all felt totally prepared afterwards. She was also so sweet with our flower girls/ring bearer, and gave them the encouragement they needed to be part of the ceremony! On the day of my wedding she gave me such a sense of calm during a crazy day. All day long, she worked tirelessly for every detail. Made sure all the vendors were on time/reached out to them if they weren’t, and handled any day of catastrophes (there’s always gonna be something that comes up!) . Everyone had a blast at the wedding and Lisa of Bisoux Event Co was a huge part of that. She made my wedding vision come to life!!! Mine and my husbands family also took notice of her hard work and organization. My only regret is not working with her sooner. I know she would have been a great help earlier in the planning process! Cannot recommend her enough - honestly! She’s also a great person overall so really glad I got the experience to know her and work with her.

Hey guys! I'm Naomi - the one behind the camera. PLEASE CONTACT ME ON MY WEBSITE. I am a mom of 2 - Bentley (3) and Kennedy (3 months). I am also a dog mom to a 98 pound Rhodesian ridgeback. My husband and I have been married since September 2019 and love working and growing our business together. I like to describe my style as timeless and candid...and I looove to capture movement and emotion. I am always focused on getting genuine emotion with my couples. My goal is to become your biggest cheerleader and lifelong friend :D

I was very nervous about hiring a photographer for our wedding, as both of our parents regret their photography decisions for their days. Naomi was recommended to me, and I’m so glad she was! When she did our complimentary engagement session, I found that not only was she professional, but she was also kind and easy to talk to. This made my nervous now-husband feel at ease. And wow—when we got the photos back, we were floored! Seeing her at our wedding was like seeing an old friend—she’s that easy and kind. Naomi did an amazing job with the photos while also helping me emotionally with the day. For example, it started raining 5 minutes before our outdoor wedding, and everything had to be moved to a tent. Naomi came up to me and said, “I want you to know it’s good luck if it rains on your wedding day.” That comment helped me stay in the moment and not feel disappointed with the sudden change. I would recommend Naomi to any family member or friend to photograph your big day. Because I know, unlike our parents, we will never regret our decision.

As a small boy, I would sit for hours watching my mother hand-color portraits for a local photographer, during the cold winter months, by a fire in our family room. From there I began taking my own pictures with my first box camera. Fast forward to a restless twenty-something working as a microbiologist, taking weddings and portraits on weekends. Eventually I graduated college with an M.A. in Photography and started out in Chicago, assisting numerous photographers, shooting everything from oranges to weddings. I have been fortunate to have worked all over the world. Photography is more than a job, it’s an avocation, a passion, it's what I do.

Okyne Medialab, Inc.

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,750
  • Serves Lake Villa, IL

Okyne Medialab is a contemporary wedding DJ business based in Austin, Texas and Chicago, Illinois. This entertainment company strives to bring a fresh perspective to the DJ industry. While still taking the lead on the night, these DJs will remain true to your vision and expectations.

We selected Okyne because they offered an option for both a DJ and live music for our ceremony. We liked the ease of everything being under one company. We had a few issues with communication in our planning. Things were not communicated up front and changes were suggested with less than a week out from our wedding (stressful). But day of was great. Our DJ Brad did an awesome job choosing music that fit our group and we were very happy with him.

I contacted Katie 5 years ago to order a custom bouquet and boutonniere for my literary themed wedding that took place in the KC Public Library. From the first conversation I knew I had made the right choice. Katie was communicative, enthusiastic, and lovely during the entire exchange. I still have my flowers displayed in my home and they’re a beautiful memento of such a special day!

Planning Weddings That Are Perfectly You Traditions are fun and all, but sometimes they can feel suffocating, especially when your family and friends have some ideas that don’t align with your vision for your wedding. But you have your own ideas about what getting married looks like. As your wedding planner, our job is to make your vision a reality. Not your family’s vision, not Instagram's vision, not our vision — your vision. You can confide in us with your ideas and questions, and know that despite guiding you with our expert advice, you’ll always be in control.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!!!

Hello! I’m Amy Lynn, owner and lead videographer at Forever Hello Films. I've been a fashion photographer and music video director for 13 years, and storytelling has always been at the heart of my work. When my closest friends started getting engaged and approached me wanting me to be involved in documenting their days I knew creating films was what I wanted to do for them. The truth is, I love love. I wanted to capture their day in a way that would truly allow them to relive those moments again and again. Re-experiencing the love they shared on that day and what it felt like in a way that feels like them.

Awarded Best of Zola
Amy Lynn's attention to detail, beautiful storytelling, and utmost professionalism is unmatched! She captured our day flawlessly and I have had so many people tell me how they love our wedding photos and day-of video. She is such an easy-going and friendly person that it feels like your best friend is photographing you the entire day. I felt so comfortable with her around us, especially during those intimate "getting ready" moments and the "first look" with my dad. Her time, professionalism, and high-quality photos and videos are definitely worth the investment. Since our wedding, we have asked Amy Lynn to photograph milestone moments in our lives. This just is a testament that not only will she become one of your favorite vendors, but become a life-long friend. Do yourself a favor and just book her!

Tia was the bow that tied everything together to create our perfect day. From the very beginning she took the time to get to know who we were and what our vision was. She always answered our questions quickly and did not hesitate to offer suggestions when decisions became tough. When it came to the day of the wedding, I was able to sit back and enjoy my day because I knew Tia was going to take care of everything else. If I recommended anything to a future bride, it would be to have a Tia!
