Peter at Grovefilm was amazing! We had a really difficult time finding videographers that we enjoyed speaking with and felt confident in until we spoke with Peter! From the start Peter made it his goal to deliver on our vision. From initial consultation, to pre-wedding planning, to day of experience, and post-wedding communication, Peter was on top of everything. Day of the wedding, we had the best time working with him and his collaboration with our photographer was seamless. Our wedding video turned out beautiful and we are so thankful to Peter. We recommend Peter to any other couples looking for a kind, fun, accommodating, talented videographer! Thank you, Peter!!

  • Serves North Riverside, IL

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.

Jason Verdin Photography

  • Photographer

  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves North Riverside, IL

I’m a high school English teacher, so all of that time I spend wrangling teenagers and getting them to do work helps me out when I’m directing your wedding party for photos. I love being a teacher, and I love the flexibility it gives me to pursue another passion of mine: photography.

Jason made us feel so comfortable during both our engagement photos, and on our wedding day. His personality allowed us to feel calm all day. He's second shooter, Jeremy, was just as outstanding. Jason's work is full of emotion, love, and talent. Choosing a photographer is very personal, and looking for the style you like can be challenging. Jason listened to what my dream was and was able to deliver just that. Jason's client portal is so easy to use, and allowed us to organize timeline, shot lists, etc. Jason sent us a substantial amount of "sneek peek" pictures the next day!!! Jason was able to customize a package that matched our exact needs & budget. If you are looking for a photographer to capture the quiet moments, Jason is 100% for you. I WILL be recommending Jason & his crew to all of my friends and family. Jason also does mini-photo shoots, family photos, etc.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you’re reading this review, you’re likely considering Steven and Wild Light Films as part of your big day. DO IT!! We were originally drawn to his unique style of work, music-video like approach, and storytelling ability in capturing the essence of people’s wedding days. Working with Steven was incredible and we can’t say enough about how much we loved his work. We booked him back in 2019 for our 2020 wedding, but of course with COVID we had to push it back a year. He was super flexible and accommodating, and we still figured out a plan to have video footage of an intimate ceremony in 2020, as well as the original plan for 2021. He did such an amazing job incorporating the two ceremonies together into one seamless video, which he turned around even quicker than we expected! Steven is a delight to work with—truly a genuinely kind person. His video editing craftsmanship and storytelling are compelling—rewatching our video + highlights felt like taking us right back to the memories and joy of our day. Do yourself and your future self a favor and get Steven to make your wedding video that you’ll cherish for years to come.

This art form allows me to celebrate beauty and hold a mirror to what I believe is the best part of our existence - joy. For this, my heart overflows with gratitude.

Choosing Zachera to photograph our wedding was the best decision we made. From start to finish, Zachera was there for us – going above and beyond, helping us warm up to the camera (thank goodness for the engagement shoots!), to staying on calls longer with me to ask how I was doing during the insurmountable wedding planning process, all the while keeping an open and transparent line of communication – Zachera simply ‘gets it’. She is one of the best humans to ever exist that is following her passion, and the expertise that comes with it can be seen in her work. The proof is in the puddin'! My husband and I can’t wait to work with Zachera again during other life milestones!

I'm Hannah - Your Day-Of Wedding Chaos Coordinator! I love helping couples actually enjoy their wedding day instead of stressing about it! Allow me to handle all of those small details on your wedding day and the weeks leading up to it- so you don't have to! I act as the main point of contact on your day fielding questions, handling issues, and ensuring the day is running smoothly and on-time! Allow your bridal party and family to enjoy the day like you envisioned! I am a planner and list maker by nature - I couldn't live without my To-Do lists. I cannot wait to help you make your big day the most magical day that you deserve!

Hannah was amazing! She hit the ground running as soon as we hired her for our wedding and was always available for a call, email, or even text. She was great in making sure we had everything we needed wrapped up and being the communication hub for our vendors the closer we got to the date. My fiance and I wanted to pick our vendors and plan the majority of our wedding ourselves but having some help near the end when all the details need to come together was instrumental in making sure we enjoyed our planning process without feeling overwhelmed. Hannah handled all of our vendor load in and all our decor set up. Your wedding day is a roller coaster of emotions but I never once had to worry about what was happening at our venue because Hannah had it under control. I didn't need to field one question!

Any talented wedding videographer can create a romantic cinematic wedding film of your wedding but there's so much more to a wedding day than that. While we craft our videos around the love you share, the fun you have when it's just the two of you as well as the celebration with your family and guests is what really makes each story so unique. So, as you'll notice in the examples above, no two wedding highlight videos are the same. We do our best to customize each wedding video we create to fit the couple we're working with as well as the flow of the wedding day, which will allow you to relive your day the way that it actually happened!

Gordon is a talented videographer and editor! He filmed our wedding day and really captured our relationship, our personalities, and the emotions we had on our big day. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve cried happy tears watching our teaser video and our full highlight video. Gordon provides so many options for your video package too, which was a big win for us. He was so great to work with on our wedding day and even encouraged us to embrace the rain for our sparkler exit. I would highly recommend Gordon to film your wedding day. His talent shines in all of his videos! - Rachel and Adam, June 8, 2024 Waldenwoods

The day of our wedding he was very well prepared and created a very calm environment that helped bring out the best in us. When we received our pictures back it was everything we wanted plus more. He did an excellent job and captured what we envisioned perfectly. There were many candid pictures of not only us but our family and friends that we’ll cherish forever.

They were quick to reply to our inquiries and easy to get in touch with, which made the planning process much smoother. On the day of, the quality of their work was great and the looks lasted beautifully throughout the entire event. They were also flexible in meeting us at our hotel to provide the services, which was incredibly convenient. We were able to treat our mothers to a hair and makeup moment and our bridal party loved the results and not having to worry about their looks for the day. Everyone felt beautiful and confident. While the final looks were still stunning, we felt they didn't fully understand our vision - the bridal hair trial didn't fully translate, and the bridal makeup ended up more neutral than the requested pinky/peach tones with less dramatic eye makeup than planned. Overall though, it was a great value and we were happy with how everything turned out.

I love photographing weddings. Between my second photographer and myself, we have photographed over 2,000 weddings. You can rest assured that your wedding images will be amazing and you will treasure them for a lifetime.

I've known Ian for over 16 years in the wedding photography industry. Not only is he an exceptional, skilled, and seasoned photographer, but he's also been a great mentor and friend. As a fellow professional photographer, I've worked side by side with Ian, shooting several weddings over the past several years. If I have a question about a new camera gadget, lens, or lighting equipment or need advice with my own wedding photography business, Ian is on speed dial. I chose Ian to photograph my wedding in Southern California. Right from our initial consultation, Ian impressed me with his professionalism and passion for his craft. He took the time to listen to my vision for the day and offered valuable insights and suggestions to ensure that every moment would be captured beautifully. Ian and his team were super easy to work with on my wedding day. They were punctual and organized, making everyone feel at ease in front of the camera. Their friendly demeanor and calming presence helped alleviate pre-wedding jitters, allowing Julie and I to relax and enjoy every moment. His incredible talent and experience behind the lens sets Ian's Photography apart. He has a unique ability to capture the emotion and essence of each moment, resulting in stunning photographs that we will treasure for a lifetime. Whether the tender moments shared during the ceremony or the spontaneous laughter on the dance floor, Ian and his team captured it all with artistry and precision. In addition to his exceptional skill as a photographer, Ian also went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was perfect. They were proactive in scouting out the best locations for photos, and their attention to detail in composing each shot was truly remarkable. Let's face it, unless you're a professional model, posing in front of the camera could seem daunting. Ian gave us perfect directions before each shot was taken. We didn't have to think about looking awkward in front of the camera. Ian was there to guide us every step of the way. When we received our wedding photos, we were blown away (as expected) Each image was a work of art, telling the story of our special day in the most beautiful way possible. Our friends and family have been raving about the photos ever since, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Overall, I cannot recommend Ian Borgerhoff Photography highly enough. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who is not only talented but also passionate, professional, and genuinely invested in making your day unforgettable, look no further than Ian and his team. You won't be disappointed.

Her ability to make the travel aspect of a wedding feel effortless is truly remarkable. Our friends couldn’t have been more grateful, and I was so impressed by her professionalism and warmth throughout the entire process. There are always challenges around weddings I know, but Sophie handled all of ours like an absolute professional.

This past year marked 10 years since I shot my first wedding. I’ve met so many wonderful couples which grew into lasting friendship, and photographed some amazing events. Capturing candid moments, posing beautiful portraits, bringing out personalities and making weddings fun and relaxed are hugely important to me! Beyond just capturing the day, I help every client with their timeline from the day we first chat, to pre-planning meetings, and the wedding day itself. My favorite clients are the ones that are down to earth and want to enjoy the organic moments of their wedding day.

I have always been a fan of Rebecca's photography work, but having her shoot my own wedding truly made me realize how talented she was at her craft. When you look at her portfolio of work you can tell that she is an amazing photographer. The way she captures natural light is probably what sticks out to everyone, myself included. What really surprised me about Rebecca was how she was able to make everyone feel comfortable, most people hate to have their picture taken because they immediately think about their flaws and imperfections, but Rebecca has both a calming and commanding presence behind the lens of her camera. She makes you feel comfortable with who you are and brings out the beauty in everyone (while at the same time calmly instructing you to put your hands in your pocket or not make your elbow look so weird). Another thing that blew me away was that she seemed to find time to capture small intimate unseen moments in the chaos that is a wedding. This was especially important in present COVID times. Most of our friends and families couldn't attend our ceremony, which only increased the importance of having Rebecca there to capture our day. Rebecca was able to capture all of the details of our wedding, big and small, and that made everyone who couldn't be there with us feel as if they truly got to experience the day with us. I really cant thank Rebecca enough for the everlasting memories of the happiest day of my life. I wouldn't recommend anyone else!

Featured on Today show and Wedding Day Magazine. I believe everyone deserves to have life's biggest moments captured on camera. But photos turn into heirlooms when the moments are documented in a way that feels absolutely authentically you. No forced emotions, no fake smiles, and certainly no awkward prom-pic poses. Whether you’re dressed to the nines on the day of your wedding or, the dirty white dress that spent more time on the dance floor than the altar let’s capture the authentic you and have a damn good time doing it.

Mary was such an incredible photographer and person to work with for our wedding!! We are not too comfortable in front of the camera and she did such a fantastic job helping us and coaching us so our pictures were the best they could be. The day of the wedding she went above and beyond to make sure it was special and memorable and I cannot rave about her enough. We love Mary!!!

Let's just say that Kara is exactly the type of person you want by your side on wedding day (and throughout the wedding planning process)! My new husband and I got to know Kara & Daniel very well, as we were a Covid couple and had to postpone our wedding for a year. From the moment I met with Kara through our wedding album, I can say with confidence: she is extremely organized, superb with communication, an incredibly talented photographer & goes above and beyond as your right-hand-woman on wedding day. Definitely do your engagement session with Kara & Daniel - our engagement photos were stunning and perfect to use for save the dates, invites, & wedding day decor. When Covid hit, Kara was super supportive and empathetic. She allowed me to lean on her to talk through the rescheduling process. When we picked back up a year later, it was like we hadn't missed a beat. She is SO helpful in creating a day-of timeline and communicating with vendors. She also diligently kept an eye on the weather & covid protocols and developed plans B, C, D, etc. for anything that popped up. Kara was always there to reassure us that everything would be amazing! And, it most certainly was. On the wedding day, everything was flawless. My new husband and I literally floated through the day. We sat back and watched the events unfold knowing that Kara was there to capture all the special moments. The bulk of photos we took before the wedding/reception and we finished earlier than expected because Kara & Daniel had everything ready to go (as well as umbrellas & several weather apps to be sure we wouldn't get stuck in a summer storm). During the wedding is where Kara really exceeded any expectation I had for a photographer - she just stepped in and helped me in every way. She held my train, changed my shoes, worked with our planner & DJ, played interference when I was swarmed by guests, and calmed my nerves when I got anxious. She is so enthusiastic and kind, but on wedding day she got down to business! That's exactly what you want when you're corralling family & rowdy guests. Oh, and the photos? They are jaw-droppingly gorgeous! We look like celebrities and the quality of her photographs are extraordinary. Thank you Kara & Daniel for everything over these past two years - we'll be forever grateful we had you by our side through the whole process & there to ensure we had (& will remember!) our best day ever!

Timeless | Romantic | Classic Wedding photographer - I believe in the idea that "great photos are created from personal connection." I put my heart and soul into making sure the couples I work with have the best possible experience and end up with images that we can both be proud of. My favorite part of taking photos is being able to find the special moments within your big milestones. It's those candid times, along with the significance of the occasion, that come together to create your favorite memories and it's my job to capture those through my visual storytelling.

Meg is a dream and truly one of the best around. She was recommended to me by a friend and I have zero regrets. She is funny, understanding, and a total professional. Our engagement photos and wedding photos turned out incredible. Can't recommend her enough!

Hi, I’m Kirsten, the creative heart behind Kirsten Wray Photography! Since 2008, KWP has been capturing life’s most amazing moments, right here in Indianapolis and beyond. After earning my Bachelor of Fine Arts from Ball State University, I followed my passion for photography to the vibrant city of Indy, where I’ve been telling stories through my lens ever since. Whether it's local events or adventures across the globe, I’m all about creating stunning, authentic images for my incredible clients. Let’s make magic together!

Kirsten Wray Photography was absolutely fantastic to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Kirsten's communication style was direct, effective, and genuinely sweet - she immediately put us at ease as a couple who doesn't usually love being in front of the camera. Despite having a huge family that was challenging to wrangle, Kirsten was professional, prompt, and thorough in getting all the group shots we wanted. The finished photos are of excellent quality and editing, capturing all the special moments of our day in a way that exceeds our expectations. Kirsten went above and beyond to deliver amazing photos, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We highly recommend Kirsten Wray Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

Jason "Snorlax" Cun is an all around photographer that currently resides in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in the heart of Los Angeles, where he found his calling in photography. He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.

Nancy was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. She provided a schedule/itinerary for myself and my large wedding party which made the day run smoothly and on time. We had a trial prior to the wedding and she was so attentive to my very specific requests. Our venue was outside on a hot humid day however my makeup did not melt or budge since 10am that morning and I looked flawless until I had to remove it that night after the party. Definitely will be booking Nancy for any future events that I may attend.

Hi there! I’m the Jill in JTP. I started this company back in 2010 and have since expanded the team to include other amazing creatives. Working with people, telling stories, and documenting moments are the things I'm most passionate about in my work. Outside of photography – I love to travel and try anything new. I'm at peace in the mountains, or anywhere with a breeze on my face. But I also love sitting on the couch sandwiched between my husband, dog, and two cats.

I HIGHLY recommend partnering with Jill to capture your engagement photos and wedding day. Jill and her team know how to authentically capture the joy and magic of these major life events with artistic, sentimental flare. She is a true professional, who made us feel heard and prioritized when working together. On our wedding day, she and Kyle effortlessly led our family and wedding parties through the formal portraits, while maintaining a warm, calm demeanor. And the photos speak for themselves. These shots will be cherished and loved in our family for decades to come, and we cannot thank Jill enough for beautifully capturing these special, magical moments in our relationship.

Tress N Glow was a great service provider for my wedding! They matched me with a makeup artist, Sumayyah, that was able to give me exactly the look I wanted (Indian bridal meets Sabrina Carpenter). I’ve never felt more beautiful! I did an in-home trial so we could fine tune the look as I don’t know much about makeup. I strongly recommend the trail because it made the day-of run so much more smoothly! Sumayyah came to our venue and knew exactly what I wanted, and even helped my mom, sister, and I get into our elaborate dresses. I loved working with her!
