Bristol was a joy to work with. We hired her when we were only 5 months out from our wedding and she jumped into action as our day-of-coordinator. As we started handing things off to her and the date got closer, we realized this was the best investment we made for our wedding day. Bristol was able to reassure us, coordinate with our families, and stay calm when things were hectic. She is very well organized and communicative, the documents she provides will help make your wedding day run smoothly. My husband and I have been in weddings with other coordinators and none of them have compared to how well prepared Bristol was for our wedding. Her and her team ran our almost 200 person wedding smoothly and when we arrived to our venue after the ceremony, we were so pleased at how everything had been handled and set up. Could not recommend her enough!!!

Lucia Giuseppina Photography

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves North Chicago, IL for additional fees

My style is rooted in an editorial approach, allowing me to narrate your unique love story through timeless images that highlight genuine emotions. I prioritize unscripted moments, such as the reaction of your spouse as you walk up the aisle, the inside joke that makes you break out in laughter or the tears as your loved ones share thoughtful memories during toasts. These intimate details hold immense significance to me. As your photographer, I bring a heartfelt and genuine perspective, ensuring that your wedding day is portrayed in a way that truly reflects you and preserves the memories you'll cherish forever.

Lucia is the most genuine and talented photographer - if you have any doubts, let them go! You won’t be disappointed by working with her :) Lucia captured our wedding back in July 2022 and the photo quality, the shots, and entire process was JUST what we wanted. From the initial consultation, I knew working with her would be a great fit because she was professional, passionate about her work, collaborative with ideas and also provided direction when I was unsure. The day of, we didn’t have to worry about anything because she worked with our wedding planner to ensure the shots we wanted got done, and taking the photos with her felt so natural! From giggly and candid to artistic and dramatic couple shots, Lucia captured a wide array of poses of us that are absolutely timeless. While there was a technical issue with some of the photos, Lucia handled the situation with grace and sincere apologies. We were lucky to get a discount and a complimentary session with her to make up for the loss of photos - and honestly it couldn’t have worked out more perfectly… the following year she came out to our town and took our maternity shoot 3 All of the photos she’s taken of us have captured the love my husband and I share, and it’s such a wonderful keepsake to have for the rest of our lives. It’s wild to think that our relationship with Lucia started with just shooting our wedding, to our maternity sessions, and soon-to-be baby session. She’s truly captured our love story and each major milestone, and now we’ve gained a friend in the process :) We can’t thank her enough for everything and the time and effort she puts into producing stunning galleries for her clients is well worth it. We can’t recommend her enough!

Awarded Best of Zola
Laramie is FANTASTIC! Everyone keeps talking about how good the photos are, and my husband agrees and is glad we went with Wandering Creative like I wanted. She was able to cover the entire wedding and get those extra pics of the food and decorations, things that people don't really think about. AND she got the crucial moments. She literally captured his immediate reaction to seeing me coming down the aisle! I looked at so many photographers, but I kept coming back to Wandering Creative because I loved the photos and her vision so much. And she did not disappoint. These are photos that you will look back on for the rest of your life. One of my friends said it best when she said, “she really captured the energy of your wedding”. When I look at these photos, I remember and can feel our happiness and how much fun we had. And thanks to Wandering Creative, I always will.

Since 2013, I’ve been capturing love stories in a way that’s timeless, authentic, and uniquely yours. Whether it’s a quiet elopement or a big celebration, my approach blends classic elegance with photojournalistic storytelling. More than photography, it's about building trust and celebrating love in all its beautiful forms—honoring every culture, story, and connection.

On the day of the wedding and through the prep leading up to the big day, her fun and friendly personality shone through. She was organized, calm, and seamlessly blended into the background while still guiding us through various moments. The quality of her work is truly outstanding; every photo is beautifully composed and tells a story. She has an incredible eye for detail, capturing not just the big moments but also the little, candid interactions that made our day unique. We are absolutely thrilled with the final images and grateful for the memories she helped preserve. If you're looking for a photographer who is not only skilled but genuinely cares about her clients, Sam at Golden Hour Images is the perfect choice.

Hi, I'm Mandy! I'm happiest at home with a cup of coffee (heavy on the cream & sugar), watching some HGTV (Fixer Upper anyone?!) & flipping through Instagram, with my beagle, Jack, snuggled on my feet. I love exploring new places with my sweetheart, Shawn, trying new foods, craft beer, coffee dates, Michigan autumns, and, of course, PHOTOGRAPHY! Thank you so much for stopping by my page. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you all, and I appreciate each and every one of you!

Portraits By Mandy was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Mandy's communication style was proactive, friendly, honest, and easygoing, which put us at ease throughout the entire process. Her experience, proficiency, and creative eye resulted in photos that we will cherish for a lifetime. Mandy was always in the right place at the right time, capturing special moments like my grandpa tenderly telling my husband to take care of me, and my husband reading the heartfelt note cards I had left for him that morning. If you're looking for a photographer who will build a lasting relationship with you as your marriage and family grows, Mandy is the perfect choice.

The word ‘milieu’ defines how we want to capture your wedding: as whole of scenery. Any experience is the result of a series of moments and feeling of our interaction with others. Images can recreate those intangible elements more fully in our mind, allowing us to relive our emotional experience long after the day has ended.

Salvatore was wonderful! He was very kind and professional. Before the wedding, he took the time to speak with us about our vision for the day and the shots we wanted. On the day of the wedding, he spent pretty much the entire day with us, and was even able to split his time between our ceremony and our reception. We got his photos right on time, and they were truly lovely, with a nice mix of posed and candid photographs, and beautiful lighting and focus throughout. Salvatore did everything we could have expected him to and more, and we are very glad that we went with Milieu for our wedding!

She's such a sweetheart and a calming presence on a day that can be so chaotic.

Kelsey also helped create a timeline for our wedding day, helped keep us on time, kept offering help with all the wedding planning process, and she kept the day running so smoothly. Everyone at my wedding absolutely loved her, my bridal party couldn't stop talking about how amazing she was at the wedding and they're still absolutely blown away by the sneak peek pictures!

Georgia is by far one of the sweetest people I have ever met. She has a mind for detail as well as big picture and you can see in every interaction her passion for her job and how much she truly cares about making your wedding journey and day feel like magic. She was quick to respond to any inquiry I had and helped me follow-up on any activities I may have been interested in. She was always there with a confirmation on next steps and a great list of options for any question I had. A lot of wedding planning can feel so overwhelming - with so many different categories to think about, and there being innumerous options to us in today's age - she was an absolute angel and saved me an enormous amount of stress, worry, and anxiety. She is the type of person that treats you like family and ensures that you get your day exactly how you imagined it. Georgia and I became quick friends through our wedding journey and I am so thankful she was there to help us every step of the way! 20/10 recommend her to anyone looking to have a stress-free day and someone to support you in every aspect of the journey.

I cannot say enough great things about working with Jaime! She truly made the stressful experience so easy. From the time I met her at a bridal show, up until even now after wedding day, Jaime has been a pleasure to work with. Communication is amazing, she’s so incredibly supportive, professional, and detail oriented! She took our wild idea of a Tim Burton-esque theme and made it come to life. The day was even more beautiful than I could’ve imagined or hoped for. My husband originally wasn’t sure a wedding planner was even worth the cost, but as the day got closer, he was so thankful we had her part of our team. Jaime went above and beyond what I thought a wedding planner would do, I even had another vendor share with me what a pleasure she was to work with! I cannot say enough nice things about her, I don’t think there’s enough words in the world to describe it! In moments of brief anxiety on wedding day, I just looked around for Jaime and knew it would all turn out alright once I saw her. I’d recommend her to literally everyone I know.

Tara Beth Photography is a place of inclusion, empathy, intimacy, and care. From the first email, I take care with my clients. Considering them all unique, and with that, their stories being unique. We talk about how you want to be captured, how your love should be captured. We go over insecurities, love stories, and anything else that may come up during our Zoom calls. I don't want to be just someone you hire. I want to be considered someone you trust, and enjoy to have around!

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Tara Beth for our wedding in December 2022. We started following her instagram years prior and fell in love with how she captured every moment, from the guests to the couple. Not only were her photos amazing, but being a part of the LGBTQ community can feel daunting at times when reaching out to vendors, specifically for same-sex weddings. We had a few tough experiences with other vendors in regards to being a same-sex couple, but Tara Beth, as she is a part of the community, made it easy to feel comfortable and accepting. We contacted her and were met with a quick response. From the start, we knew she was the one. Her vibe and passion for love sold us! My wife and I were very nervous to take photos, but Tara Beth reassured us that she would walk us through everything - and she did just that. She talked us through our first look and it was an amazing experience. She also guided our party and family photos, which was super helpful as we were able to get our photos done ahead of schedule! We appreciate everything Tara Beth did for our special day and would recommend her 100 times over!

Not only did they make us feel comfortable, but they made our guests feel comfortable in front of the camera as well. We had a long distance wedding, on the other side of Michigan and Dj and Ashley were there for every moment. They listened to us and our visions for the pictures and gave us the wedding pictures of our dreams. We had our edited sneak peaks that same night and the rest of the pictures less than a week later. We are so beyond lucky to have had them photograph our wedding and so would you if you hired them.

We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Dani Marie Photography! From the very beginning, she listened to our vision and truly understood the unique quirks that make our daughter and now son-in-law.

Hi there! I’m Sara, the creative force behind Iris Rose. As a child, I loved to create - it was my favorite thing. Through years of navigating life’s challenges, I drifted away from my creative roots. In 2020, I picked up a camera and photography brought me back to that creative space, allowing me to capture something both beautiful and meaningful and I fell in love. When I’m being creative, I feel like my best self.

Working with Sara has always been an incredible experience. As a videographer, I have found having a positive collaboration between photo and video is a very important key to a wedding day running smoothly – this is always the case when shooting with Sara. She not only has a great creative eye, but she is also a fantastic leader. Outside of shooting together, Sara and I have a continued collaboration and share our work with each other for constructive feedback and this relationship has proved to be invaluable.

I moved around a lot growing up and I can remember not always loving it. But now, truly grateful for how it's shaped me. My husband was the exact opposite. He had a hometown, graduated high school with childhood friends, knowing every street, and watching every change. I think that is part of the reason we were attracted to each other. One yearning for roots, and the other for branches. Finding them within each other. Finding in each other a home and an adventure. It is hard to remember who I was before him, and hard to imagine my life without him. When I think of him... I smile, I cry, I laugh. This is what makes me feel alive.

With Kaity Campbell Events, you will have a truly luxurious customer experience from the moment you sign your contract all the way up to your event day, and even beyond. We believe that every wedding should be a reflection of your unique love story, and we are here to ensure that every detail is perfectly tailored to your desires. Our passion for creating unforgettable experiences, combined with our industry expertise, allows us to curate a seamless and stress-free wedding day that exceeds your expectations. Being able to create an event that is truly yours, and has all the elements you care about, is why I started doing what I do.

Kaity did a great job, especially considering all the uncertainty of bad weather (my ceremony was outdoors) we had to all deal with. She always had an upbeat and positive attitude the whole time, which I know can be very difficult to do around my family. She definitely would just roll with all the punches to keep us on track. I was anxious the entire day, but Kaity reassured me that she had everything under control and I knew I could trust her. She even went out of her way to get me and my husband little care packages on the day of, with inspiring notes. The only hiccups I actually noticed was with announcements and speeches, because the volume and echo was not great, so people didn't know when things were actually happening, so I wish we could've told the DJ sooner to fix the issue. We had also wanted to have our dinners boxed up, because my husband and I were both too anxious and excited to really eat, so our food ended up being thrown away, plus we didn't receive the top tier of our wedding cake to save for the tradition thing (but my guess is because they served it all to the guests). Unfortunately, at the end of the night, we were super rushed to get everything out of the building, because of the time and the pouring rain- I was running around barefoot in my dress while my husband was passed out in the car, and I was one of the few trying to get everything packed and cleaned up. However, Kaity and her husband really helped us out by collecting all the left items and holding onto them for us until the next day. She kept in contact, since at least a month beforehand, to make sure we had everything in order and sent her all the vendor contacts , so she could be included with all the day-of plans. She really did go above and beyond to make sure I had the best day possible, and I really appreciated that from her. I would definitely hire her again.
