Hi! I'm so glad that you're here. My name is Laura and I founded Marryment after being a part-time planner for 5 years. In March 2023, I left my corporate job and started Marryment full time - I had seen some ugly truths in wedding planning - so Marryment is on a mission to revolutionize the industry and keep the joy and celebration in wedding planning!

I don't have enough good things to say about Laura, Amethyst, and the team over at Marryment. If you do one thing to help make your wedding day go off without a hitch, hire Marryment. We hired them as our day of/month of coordinator, but their assistance started right from the get-go. Laura provided us with tools to keep track of all of the important to-dos throughout the wedding planning process. We also had meetings where Laura meticulously walked us through each aspect of our day to make sure things were running smoothly and according to plan, as well as regular attendance with our other vendor meetings to make sure everyone was on the same page. Laura and Amethyst were amazing on the big day, coordinating both sides of the wedding party, fielding all questions and requests, and taking a lot of unwanted stress off of our plates. They even helped coordinate our late night food for the hotel afterparty. I can't recommend Marryment enough for all of your wedding planning needs!

Awarded Best of Zola
This is going to be a long BUT WORTHY review because we cannot say enough AMAZING things about Julie - she is the best photographer ever! Working with Julie was a highlight of our wedding day. She has a very calming presence ad knowing she was there taking my photos made me so happy. She took our wedding photos and an engagement photo shoot and is truly one of the kindest people I have ever met! She has excellent communication and responds to calls and texts almost instantly, which was so reassuring because I was running late getting to the venue and she was fine walking around and getting a lay of the land before I got there. From the initial phone call to hear about her services and ask questions, I knew without a doubt she would be our photographer. She explained her wedding packages, her experience with photography and it felt like I was having a conversation with a friend and throughout the wedding process ad the big day, I feel like we have become great friends. She personalized our photo experience to match our style and that is so apparent in all of the photos. She provided the wedding photos within 6 weeks of the wedding day and kept me in the loop on timing and sent amazing preview pictures. She has a very easy to use gallery in which a link is provided, and you can download all of the photos. I got so many compliments from guests that she was so friendly and took so many great photos. For someone who worries about everything, photos was something I did not have to worry about because she knows exactly what photos should be taken and took suggestions for poses we wanted (it was a wedding on a tennis court so we had a few specific poses we wanted). She got so many great photos of guests, family photos, candid photos during our vow exchange and other times and during the ceremony that every emotion we were feeling was captured on film. My husband hates photos, but Julie is such a calming presence that even my husband and some family members who don’t like photos really enjoyed taking photos. She can strike up a conversation with anyone and is a ball of positive energy, which is a must have on a wedding day! Everyone that talked to her was delighted to meet her and said she was the best photographer they have met, and I couldn’t agree more. I am still amazed at the photos we received. She made the colors of the flowers, my hair (redhead) and the colors of the bridal party dresses pop in a way I didn’t even know was possible. She truly captured every emotion of the day. I couldn’t be happier with the photos and cannot wait for Julie to take more photos in the future for our family!

Hi, I'm Samuel! Chicago based wedding and elopement photographer here to give couples a truly relaxed and down to earth experience. Being photographed shouldn't be uncomfortable or boring!  Telling love stories through photos brings me immense joy. 

We were so grateful to Samuel who was able to document our city hall ceremony on a very last minute request during the end of year holidays. (Are you free next weekend?) We were drawn to the documentary style of his work and thought it was a fitting way to remember a special moment in a basement of Chicago's City Hall. Leading up to the day, we texted and chatted about places to do portraits after and Samuel was very patient and helpful in suggesting places that felt right for me and my partner. Not only did he have the inside scoop on what the city hall ceremony was going to be like and what was going to happen, but he was also great to hang out with in line and and get to know better. We both felt very comfortable working with Samuel and the nerves of working with a professional photographer for the first time went out the window. I can only imagine how amazing the experience would be to work with Samuel with more time to prepare or at locations a little less drab than a city hall basement!

Hi, I'm Louie and I am a Chicago-based photographer. I love working with fun, creative couples who desire an fun, artistic capture of their wedding day! I've photographed over 400+ weddings for couples from all over the United States and in doing so I've made some really great friends as well. Having worked with over 400 couples, sharing their unique and special day; I know that no two weddings are alike. The challenge of capturing a couple's personal style and touch is what keeps me so inspired year after year. I don't believe there is such a thing as "just another couple". Each couple is unique and so is their story.

Louie was a great photographer. You will not find a photographer this good in the Chicago area for a similar price. He is great at working with people and makes you laugh. We love the wedding photos and are grateful.

Annette was truly a joy to work with! She made all of my visions come true and was so helpful during the decision process. Annette was extremely kind, accommodating and a great communicator. She was very flexible throughout the entire process and allowed me to make changes and adjustments. One way she went above and beyond was allowing us to drop off hundreds of bud vases at her house a month before the wedding. She then decided what vases to use and how to organize them on each table. That took so much pressure off of us. The flowers ended up turning out so beautifully. I received so many compliments from guests. I absolutely love the way that all of the flowers turned out and how much they make pictures of the day pop!

I love coffee. I never leave home without it. I’m easy going. I love to chill. I’m a huge sports fan and I love watching Skip Bayless and others argue on Fox. Basketball was my first love and even in my thirties I still daydream about playing in the NBA. As a teenager, while most of my peers were listening to 2Pac and Biggie, I preferred Marvin Gaye, Al Green and The Temptations. I’ve been told that I have an old soul.

I became indulged in the story-telling of my wedding couples. Being surrounded by the excitement, sometimes nervous couples, and their loving families and friends made the filming such a rush. Then to have the honor to edit a film where their personalities and love shine through is the greatest privilege. I want to take them on a journey back in time to the most epic day where they laugh and cry with all their family and friends. I make films that last the ages. I love to think about how my couples might show their kids or even grandkids someday.

Trevor was simply amazing! After searching for weeks for the perfect videographer, we finally found Trevor Maloch. We wanted someone that we not only connected with, but also someone who was fun and pleasant to work with and that’s exactly what Trevor was for us. His pricing and packages were within our price range. Maloch Media provided us exactly what we were looking for in our wedding video and that was to make us feel like we were reliving the biggest day of our lives. We highly recommend Maloch Media. We promise you, you will not be disappointed! Thank you Trevor and Amanda for playing a huge part on making our day so perfect! Best, Theresa & Roxana

After beginning in 35mm film and practicing the art of photography on the side all my life, I took a severance package over a change in position when my corporate job was being downsized. That was 2017, and I have only earned my living through a lens since then. Bills, pandemics and doubters - be damned. I am still here, and I am here for you.

Bella Luz Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, their communication was excellent - they were highly professional, skilled, and insightful in understanding our vision. On the day of the wedding, they captured every moment with a fantastic, artistic eye, providing incredible value through their visual storytelling. Kevin, the lead photographer, was wonderful to work with and we highly recommend Bella Luz Photography to any couple looking for exceptional wedding photos that will beautifully preserve the memories of their special day. Kevin is GREAT!!!

Hi, I'm Jess, and I run Jessica Smith Visual Arts, a professional photography business in the Quad-Cities area! I specialize in many forms of photography that is tailored to you and your theme with top notch quality!

When we were looking for a photographer we were struggling so much to find someone that wouldnt break the bank, but wouldn't deliver crappy pictures either. When we found Jessica Boone Visual Arts, we were so excited to get such a reasonable price. I got even more excited when I spoke with her, because I am telling you, it was some of the best customer service I have ever had. Always willing to answer questions or make time for me whenever I needed whether it was a phone call or email. Jessica Boone did our engagement and our wedding photos. I was absolutely blown away with not only how the pictures turned out but also how patient, helpful, and fun she was!! After seeing only a few of our engagement photos, I knew I needed her for our big day. Jessica worked with me and made sure everything was perfect! (She and her assistant even helped with my dress SEVERAL times throughout the day! Oh, and fixing my husbands crooked bowtie.) All of our guests keep commenting on how jaw-droppingly beautiful our winter wedding photos are. I truly believe Jessica Boone is one of the most creative and talented photographers in the area! She will work with you on your dream photos... whether it's location, style, or simply being great in front of the camera. Thank you again Jessica for the most beautiful photos I get to enjoy forever. We would rate you 100 on a scale of 1-5, seriously.

Bob was such an incredible DJ for our wedding! We purchased both the ceremony and reception package. Bob was very familiar with our wedding venue which helped us have a fantastic experience. Because of Bob, our ceremony went seamlessly. From the music, sound quality, transitions, and microphone set up Bob ensured a stress free experience. We got great feedback from our guests that they had no trouble hearing the officiant, reader, or bride and groom during vows. Overall, Bob was very accommodating and attentive to detail for all our needs and made sure to fully understand our unique preferences ahead of time. Bob did a great job introducing the wedding party, making sure to land everyone’s pronunciation as well! Bob also did a great job directing our guests throughout the night ensuring everything ran smoothly. His audio setup for our first dance on the outdoor terrace was incredible and truly created a magical experience. He was able to obtain our requested songs and made sure to prioritize our playlist during the dancing. Everyone had such a great time on the dance floor as we had a full dance floor from start to finish. He truly kept everyone dancing all night and was responsive to guests requests as well. Overall, we had an amazing experience with Bob and we couldn’t have asked for more! If you need a DJ for an event look no further that BB's Best. Bob is so great to work with and he will go above and beyond for you.

We're a husband and wife wedding photography duo! We love meeting new couples and providing a service that will have you looking back at your images years from now and still have you feeling those emotions you felt on your wedding day.

I had my session done by Debra and I felt so comfortable around her! At first, I was super nervous about how to pose and she told me what to do and I felt comfortable after that. I enjoyed every bit of the session and she gave me the edited photos within 3 days max which is awesome! I love the photos and the way she makes you feel beautiful on your special day! :) I highly recommend her for any kind of shoot that you have!
