Working in the wedding industry for over 10 years as a bridal makeup artist I specialize in Natural & Soft Glam wedding makeup thus being preferred by brides looking for classy, timeless and natural looks and being awarded many different certificates and accolades throughout the years.

I had the absolute pleasure of having Cristal as the hair & makeup artist for my recent wedding, and I cannot express how incredible she was throughout the entire process. From the very beginning, Cristal went above and beyond in her preparation, ensuring that every detail was meticulously planned. She took the time to understand exactly what each of us wanted, listening carefully to our visions and bringing them to life flawlessly. On the day of the wedding, Cristal's dedication truly shone through. She was not only professional and skilled but also incredibly warm and personable, making everyone feel at ease. She even provided thoughtful touch-up kits, which were a lifesaver and kept us looking flawless throughout the event. Cristal quickly became more than just our makeup artist; she became a friend. Her passion and talent are evident in every stroke of her brush, and I would highly recommend her to anyone considering a makeup artist for their special day.

Husband & wife team, Jeremy & Emily, have been making music together since meeting at the NIU School of Music in the early 2000s. Their love for their craft continues to grow with every performance opportunity together.

Jeremy and the New Vintage Strings quartet were incredible. Jeremy facilitated the communication for the quartet, was prompt, thorough, and extremely helpful from start to finish with all aspects. The New Vintage Strings quartet played the ceremony and cocktail hour for our wedding on Saturday, June 15th, 2024, and were a massive hit for all who attended. Their resources were user-friendly, and their repertoire was expansive. The New Vintage Strings quartet were also willing to find the sheet music for a song that was not on their list of songs. It was an absolute pleasure to work with New Vintage Strings and relatively cost-friendly given how expensive live music can be, particularly for weddings. I highly recommend having New Vintage Strings play your wedding or event where music may be appropriate. A massive thank you to Jeremy and the rest of the New Vintage Strings quartet for their lovely performance and making our wedding even more spectacular!

What if your photos actually looked and felt like you? Picture yourself 10 years from now on your wedding anniversary looking back at your wedding album with tears welling up in your eyes as you relive your day. Your wedding should not feel like a performance. Let go of boring wedding traditions, think outside of the box and create something unique that has never been done before. Whatever the perfect day looks like for you, why shouldn’t that be your wedding day? I am more than your wedding photographer, I am your guide, biggest fan, and the curator of your love story, I will also be the one tearing up from behind my lens.

She guided us through every step of our day and weathered through unexpected torrential downpours and hurricane winds all while keeping morale up for the whole wedding party!

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!

I was that kid enchanted by Disney Princess movies and the idea of "true love". My true love revealed itself through photography. At 8, I grabbed my dad's camera and was hooked, thrilled to show people my world. I started with zoo animals, friends, and siblings, eager to freeze moments in time. As I grew, I learned from local photographers and knew by 17 that photography was my calling. Since then, I’ve captured love in all its forms: couples, new parents, best friends, and the joy of seeing your favorite band live. The world is full of magical firsts, and I'm honored to capture these moments forever.

Musaab was the most amazing videographer we could have asked for to do our wedding video! From the details, to getting ready, the ceremony, celebration, he captured every important moment and made sure you could feel the raw emotion. (Me and my partner cry happy tears every time we watch it!) My wedding video has been a huge hit with family and friends (and even others online) who continuously compliment how our video looks like it came straight out of the movies! The cinematics are so smooth, there is no shakiness or graininess to the video whatsoever and the timeline flow is so beautiful! Everything about it exceeded my expectations. Also Musaab was great at giving us direction to get the perfect shots. He was very clear and thorough about what he needed us to do, but at the same time was gentle and not pushy or overbearing, which made it a fun experience for all of us! His personality is relaxed and fun, almost immediately after his arrival it was clear not only was he going to be a great fit but it was like he was already one of our friends and not just a vendor. Everyone in my bridal and grooms parties kept complimenting to me about how much they enjoyed Musaab being there. Choosing Unveiled Weddings Media is a choice you can’t go wrong with!

Hey!! Congratulations and I'm so excited you're here! My name's Lissa (pronounced "Lyss-uh") and photographs are my jam! Also my jam? Bright colors, the lamest jokes, floral everything, weird history, and awesome ghost stories. I'm a total mother hen / perpetual big sister and I'm mom to Max, Henry, and Penelope. I love creating. I garden. I sew. I crochet. I design ridiculously cute tee shirts. But most of all? I freaking love creating photographs. A professional photographer since 2011 (eek!), my photographs are bright, happy, and totally meant to hit you in the feels. But most of all? They're a total party!

It was such a pleasure having Lissa as the photographer for our wedding. She has taken several photos for me and my family throughout the years, and each time the photos have always been exactly what we wanted. Her photos are vibrant, full of color, and full of feeling. Lissa was sure to respond quickly to contracts, questions, and provided information in a timely manner. She listened to our desires and concerns, and when needed she provided feedback that helped us feel more comfortable and excited to work with her. She is incredibly easy to work with her. She was flexible with any photo requests that came up in the moment, and she guided and directed us for other shots she felt would turn out well when we weren't sure what to do next. She was professional and courteous to all of our wedding guests and yet always made sure to prioritize our (the bride and groom) desires and time as opposed to the rest of our wedding party. She had a happy, yet focused disposition while working with us. That focus was evident in the BEAUTIFUL pictures she took. She perfectly captured our joy that day. Turnaround time was better than expected, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We have no regrets with our choice of wedding photographer. She's amazing!

Hello, I’m so glad you’re here! My name is Will & capturing the humanity of moments is what fuels me. The hugs you can feel, the soft touches, the tears falling, the never ending smiles, the moments between mom & dad - those are the ones I want to capture! More of what it FEELS like not just what it looks like. Telling stories has always been my favorite, but words tend to get lost or forgotten so I tell them the best way I know how - through photographs!

Where do I began... The Best Wedding Band was Phenomenal. They came highly recommended by a family member and oh my goodness they surpassed our wildest dreams. Our guests still ask us about them, extremely professional people to work with. There is no way we could have predicted how amazing the band would sound and Hamza's voice would be. Guests are encouraged to participate and within a few minutes half the group was on the floor, and half was singing. Also, he played some old 70s songs that people requested. My favorite was "LAG JA GALE" Having Hamza's incredible band on my big day made it even more special.

From the initial consult, to the delivery of our Gallery, Sam was the superhero needed to keep things going smoothly. If you’re looking for a photographer who has skills in getting to know who you really are, making sure your personality is as much in the photos as you are, going above and beyond to help things go smoothly, take care of things you didn’t even know needed to be done, and show up in whatever way helps you while getting the job done: you’ve found her. I could not possibly say enough that would capture how great of an experience it was to work with Sam; the professionalism, care, and attention to details are as equally prevalent in her practice as her positive attitude, genuine helpfulness, and kind spirit. That is to say, Sam is everything you could want in a photographer, and everything you need to make sure it’s done with the utmost precision and skill.
