Jason Verdin Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Skokie, 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.

As a Media Company, 505 Media Co always tries to capture genuine emotions. When we capture a wedding. We have the unique opportunity to freeze that moment in time. This is a priceless treasure a couple can cherish for the rest of their lives.

I had my wedding in November 2023, and working with 505 was like a DREAM. I got a package that allowed me to work with a video and photo team, and I also had a day-of coordinator. Krystal was my coordinator, and she was incredible!! She was super friendly and bubbly, but also extremely professional. Working with her and her team was such a smooth process; they were quick communicators, I always got a response back quickly, and I never felt uncertain or worried with them. From the engagement session to the wedding itself to the delivery of the final product, I was extremely happy. The photographers and videographers were so much fun to work with, and I honestly can't speak highly enough about how happy my new husband and I are. We also referred 505 to my cousin that just got married. Love this team!!

Zachera Photo 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $5,600
  • Serves Skokie, IL

Love and storytelling have been the anchors of my life. What began with theatre and paint evolved into my photography career, and I learned love from the very best. 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Simply put, Zachera was the best decision when it came to our wedding planning! The attention to detail that she & her team had on our wedding day reflected in every photo taken. Looking back at the photos makes our hearts swell; they are breathtaking. In the photos, there were so many intimate moments, so much genuine laughter & so much serenity captured. Beyond the photos, our wedding would have not gone so perfectly if we didn't have Zachera & her team! Zachera had every detail of our timeline down & did everything in her power to keep us on track. With our bi-cultural wedding having so many moving parts, that was not an easy task but she executed it in the politest/smoothest way possible. She is the most personable yet most professional person to work with, which is so important in a photographer because they are side by side with you throughout the whole day. We believe that couples should have a connection with their photographer; with Zachera, it's like she read our minds & never missed a beat. She made us feel confident throughout the whole day and left no room for us to panic. She really goes above and beyond for her couples- to the point that she even picked us up Gatorade on the wedding day when it was getting too hot out for us. That wasn't a one time thing or out of character for her; she checked in throughout the whole time leading up to the wedding, encouraging and supporting us in every way. Forever grateful for her presence, the passion she has for her art and her kindness.

Katie was a breeze to work with! I am not big on real flowers and wanted something that would represent my husband and I. Her prices are comparable to real flowers and are even more lovely! I love that her flower designs mimic real flowers and that foliage was an option. She took the care to make sure I had what I wanted and sent me multiple pictures during the process and of the finished result before we picked them up for the wedding. She accepted my feedback and made changes to the bouquets to match my vision. I still have my bouquet and my husbands boutonniere as keepsakes that remind me of our special day. I would use her services again and again!

Red Bank Studio was founded in 2017 with one goal. To create unique, elegant and timeless memories for our couples. We look in meeting couples that love to be goofy , laugh and be present on their amazing day that is their Wedding Day. Our style of photography is all about you. We want to make sure we capture all the giggles, all the laughs, all the tears and even those goofy moments on the dancefloor. At the end of the day, we want to make sure you look back at your wedding day pictures and videos and relieve every single moment same like when it happened.

Ten stars! I know I am super late, but better late than never. I just wanted to say thank you for how awesome Michael and the Red Bank Studio team were for our wedding. From their punctuality and professionalism throughout the whole process, to Michael’s contagious smile and good spirit on the wedding day, we must say that we could not have been able to find anyone else better than them to take care of us on our special day. I am not just saying this myself, but in fact many of my guests very impressed with Michael’s work and charisma, and came to me to complement his work and personality. Your energy, your charm, and your ability to make people laugh even when they do not want to, made our wedding day extra special. I must say that I was extremely worried about my husband and his lack of smiling skills, but he gave us the best smile I have ever seen in him. More than taking pictures and recording a video, Michael and the team would make sure that we were comfortable and we never felt overwhelmed with pictures that day. They actually enjoy their work. You can tell is not a job for them! I cannot thank you guys enough, and I will be forever grateful for the stellar work you guys performed at our wedding. I wish you and your team a successful and healthy 2023, and I hope we get to work together soon!

Ever since I can remember, I've been captivated by the power of a single moment to tell a whole story. As a wedding photographer, I get to capture those fleeting, special moments that make each couple's love story unique. With over 4 + years of experience, I blend artistry with technical skill to create images that are not only beautiful but deeply meaningful.

5 STAR REVIEW! We had such an amazing experience with Prest1ge Photography! It was a toasty, sunny, fast-paced wedding day, and Caleb remembered to do all the shots we had asked for, and many more at a comfortable pace. Time flew and we went longer than expected, but he was gracious, easy to work with, and didn't allow anything to stress him out. Choosing Prest1ge was the best decision we could have made!

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

Meraki Salon Services was a pleasure to work with for our wedding day beauty needs. 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.

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 can not wait to have Rebecca capture more of my special family moments. My husband and I eloped on October 23rd and snagging Rebecca to capture our day was the first thing to check off on our list! Rebecca was natural, made us feel comfortable, directed us, got excited with us, and was a seamless addition to our special day! She was also fast with her response and detailed with her information. We knew we wanted to elope at Turkey Run State Park in the afternoon but were also flexible with the exact time because of weather. . . and she was flexible with us! She was more than willing to hike over a mile through the woods with us, gear in tow, up and down rocky and wooden steps – to capture the moment. The day before we eloped, she let us know she was keeping track of weather and proposed we meet earlier to avoid the rain and catch the good sun! It was so wonderful knowing she had our backs and was aligned with our intentions for the day! We surprised our families the evening of our elopement with the wonderful news and Rebecca sent us sneak peeks and a video of our vows to share with them (that very same day). I was blown away and didn’t know we could be so lucky to share photos and a video with loved ones just hours later. Rebecca also curated the loveliest video, paired with a sweet song, that I will forever cherish (she sent it while we were on our honeymoon)! It was completely unexpected and is a testament to her talent and love of capturing families in their most special moments. When we got the photos back, they looked exactly how that day felt to us. Casual, natural, fun, and timeless. The photos were stunning, she captured and our happiness so well. She is so thoughtful and immensely talented! I feel honored to have had her photograph our elopement.

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 absolutely marvelous, start to finish. After I reached out she got back to me in less than 24 hours, and was so easy to communicate with in the months leading up to our wedding. We had a mixed wedding with traditional elements and a modern day twist. Mary went out of her way to learn about our culture so that she'd be able to capture all of the special moments. The day of the wedding she was our biggest cheerleader, made us feel so comfortable, and herded people in the right direction. Mary is so passionate about what she does, and her love for story telling bleeds over into everything she does. We're looking forward to receiving our pictures back soon, but from the sneak peak we got, her work is just magical. Highly recommend reaching out to Mary for your special day!

These guys are incredible. We knew we chose the right photographers when we had our engagement pictures done with them. They have a gift. My husband and I are shy, they were able to get us comfortable in front of the camera. They work so well as a team. Katya was one of the few people to get me to calm down on my wedding day. Their work truly speaks for itself. They are super genuine and easy to work with. You will not find a better duo to capture your day.

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.

My job is to make women feel their best, whether it be a very soft natural look to full-on glam! I travel on location so that my client has one less thing to worry about.

Nancy was AMAZING to work with! Nancy was my MUA for my wedding during the hot month of August. I was afraid that due to the hot weather my makeup would melt off, but it did not! Throughout the whole night my makeup stayed intact - despite being done early in the morning. My makeup along with the rest of my bridal party stayed on throughout the whole night - and we all loved it! Nancy is the sweetest person, very professional, and is super attentive to detail. I would definitely recommend her for any events that you may have, because I sure will :)

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!

Your wedding day is one of the most special moments of your life, and our team is here to ensure every moment is captured beautifully. We are a talented team of two photographers and two videographers who specialize in creating stunning visual stories that you'll cherish forever. With a keen eye for detail, creativity, and a passion for storytelling, we capture the genuine emotions, candid moments, and all the magic of your big day.

What impressed me most was their creative approach to storytelling. The videographers utilized various techniques, such as aerial drone shots and slow-motion captures, which added a cinematic quality to the final product. They paid attention to details, capturing the decor, candid moments among guests, and the overall vibe of the celebration. This artistic vision made the wedding video not just a record of the day but a beautiful narrative that conveyed the couple's love story.
