Hi I'm Patty, your wedding photographer. I am based in West Michigan and spend over 50% of my season servicing Detroit & Chicago couples. Along with servicing the Michigan and Chicago market, I have slowly begun to expand my territory to include destination work with places like Texas, Virginia, Florida and Spain. I serve couples who understand that this season is one worth being celebrated and remembered. The couples who embrace their family and their people however that looks. Most importantly I serve those who see these photographs as an investment into their legacy.

Patty was absolutely amazing to work with! She made the day feel so easy and smooth! She not only caught all the big moments of the day but also caught all the little, tiny moments that I don't see a lot of photos of on wedding days. We love the photos and will cherish them forever!

From the beginning they were easy to communicate with and when things were changing closer to the date, they quickly responded and made sure we were all set. On the day of the wedding, they were right on time, and I am so thrilled and happy we went with them because the flowers and decor were more beautiful than I could have ever imagined! Stephanie & her team delivered exactly what they promised and more! We received so many compliments about the bouquets, flowers & decor on the day-of and for days after!

I’ve been in business for over 13 years and am based out of Geneva, but willing to travel. Some of my favorite things are: McDonald’s Cokes, Anthropologie, Kate Spade anything, a good Reisling, a great sense of humor, finding a great bargain, shopping, big hugs.

From the moment we first spoke with Missy, we knew we were in good hands - her communication style is personable, fun, professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. Missy's attention to detail and ability to keep us on schedule was invaluable, especially when we fell behind due to makeup. She handled our large family photo shot list with such ease, and always seemed to know the perfect moments to capture candid, stunning photos of us and our guests. The quality of Missy's work is simply outstanding - we were blown away by the incredible photos she delivered, which perfectly encapsulate all the joy and love of our special day.

Elyse Bullard Photography

  • Photographer
  • Classic style

  • Serves Union, IL

Why do I take photos? Well I’m glad you asked! When I was a teenager I was thrown from one of my horses and lost my long term memory. Thankfully my father was into photography and I notice that looking back at family photos helped to trigger my memory! With the fear of hitting my head and potentially loosing my memory again, I started taking photography classes and was obsessive about taking photos. Whenever I take photos for a client I remember how important it was to my recovery to have images of my life.

Elyse is the best. She is great with directing you into the perfect pose, always making sure you are show your best self. Her photography is natural and bright. I chose her for all our family photos and business photos because her editing and photography is timeless. She is great at getting everyone's attention and keeps things moving. Friendly, personable, reliable, basically every positive word describes Elyse and her photography! It's always hard to pick favorites when we get our galleries!

Shannon O'Brien 

5.0

  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 4
  • Starts at $1,000 per person
  • Serves Union, IL

Shannon and her team explore the captivating world of shape and color from a place of openness and expertise, with the conviction that beauty isn’t meant to be covered up, it’s meant to be celebrated. Creating looks for you to transcend without transforming who you are on your big day.

Shannon O’Brien is a Godsend. I say this literally and figuratively. I was never a bride’s “Bride,” in that I didn’t have any thoughts about my wedding before I became engaged. Once the process started, my biggest concern was makeup. After having many bad experiences as a bridesmaid (all 200 times), I was very nervous about my "bridal look." Who doesn’t want to feel comfortable on their wedding day? I stumbled across Shannon’s Instagram page (shoutout to @Shannicat), and aside from her being the most fashionable and upbeat person, her brides all looked fantastic and most importantly, NATURAL. I knew I had to reach out. Sadly, I received the email that every bride dreads-- she was booked. Of course she was. Her talent is a known fact in the Chicago area. I was crushed, but I started the process of make-up trials with other makeup artists. While they were all very nice, I left each time feeling like a typical bride. No one was able to capture who I was without changing my features. I didn’t feel “special” or beautiful and something just didn’t sit right. Months passed, panic ensued, and the heavens opened: Shannon O’Brien was now available for my wedding. Instantly, I went to contract—no trial runs, no questions asked. I was so confident in this decision that I didn’t even schedule my first trial until 2 months before my wedding—me, the most type A individual, went on blind faith up until the finish line. Once I met Shannon, I knew I made the right decision. She opened the door with a huge smile on her face, assuring me that I would look exactly how I had envisioned. I showed her 3 photos, at most, and left the rest up to her. By time she had finished, I felt amazing. She enhanced my features, made me feel beautiful, and most importantly, I still looked like me! On the morning of the wedding, there was a common theme in the room: Everyone loved Shannon O’Brien. Bridesmaids were raving about her. No one asked for changes (how unheard of is that with 12 bridesmaids and two mothers?) Everyone gravitated to her station to watch her work, myself included. She made the entire group feel at ease between her relaxed demeanor and her uncanny ability to listen and capture everyone’s beauty. For the girls who wanted a natural look, she achieved it. For those that wanted a more done up look, she made it happen while still making them look classic and elegant. She was and IS an absolute dream come true. To give more weight to my confidence in Shannon, I ended up paying extra so that she would stick around for almost the entire evening. I knew there would be a lot of happy tears shed and touch ups would be a must, and I was right. Every time I went back to the room for Shannon to re-glamorize me, she celebrated with me, told me to take in the evening, and sent me back out reminding me of just how perfect this evening was. And she was right. Hiring Shannon was easily the best decision that I made throughout this wedding planning process. Although I didn’t know it then, she was truly the glue that helped keep it all together. She allowed me to look and feel my best self, and because of this, I was able to not let anything else get in the way of what was certainly the start to a lifetime of memories. I cannot recommend Shannon enough. She is one of the most talented and delightful individuals, and I look forward to hiring her for every big life event I, hopefully, have coming my way. Thank you, Shannon!

I love color and a well-curated day trip. I have a total obsession with plants and finding the best Spotify playlists. When I’m not flowering, you’ll probably find me thrifting for bespoke home finds, dominating 1500-piece puzzles, and scouring the internet for the next best concert in Chicago.

We used Project 1952 for our engagement party. We were so thrilled with the outcome. Naimah was so engaged and attentive to our vision for the day. She took our vision and made it come to life while using her own creativity. She arrived well ahead of time to get the room set up and the arrangements in place. She thought about every detail down to edible flowers and glitter in the ice cubes that had our guests raving. She was so easy to work with and went above and beyond what we had asked of her. We could not recommend her work enough! We will definitely be using her again!

Hi! We are Mark and Ligia Chiu- a Chicago based photography/videography husband/wife team. I started Ligia Chiu Photography about 10 years ago when I was searching for a creative outlet during my very science courses of pharmacy school. What started as a simple hobby capturing moments for my close friends, soon blossomed into something more profound and my passion for photography has grown steadily over the years.

We knew the moment we got engaged that we wanted Ligia Chiu to be our wedding photographer! She took the time to understand our vision for the wedding, scouted out potential locations beforehand, and guided us every step of the way. Right away, Ligia surprised us by asking for a list of "must-have" photos. She was all about capturing our moments. On the day itself, she had this incredible ability to make everyone feel comfortable and relaxed. When we received the photos, it was like reliving the entire day, but with the added bonus of Ligia's artistic eye. She has a true talent for capturing the essence of the day and the personalities of everyone involved. We HIGHLY recommend Ligia Chiu to anyone looking for an exceptional wedding photographer!

Using organic florals for their romantic, garden-inspired designs, couples can look forward to the effortless elegance their flowers will bring.

Miriam and her team at Esther's Private Garden were wonderful from start to finish. Her authenticity and just realness and transparency is what sets her apart and something I great appreciated as an over analyzer. For example, I quoted and interviewed 7 different Chicago florists before choosing Ester's Private Garden and I would 100% book her again! From the first beautiful proposal to our continuing conversations, Miriam was able to take my color vision to life. Coming up with a colorful palette that blended summer and fall colors (a September wedding) was no easy feat but Miriam was able to execute so full! I was in awe of my flowers from my bridal bouquet to ceremony stands, and our grand staircase. Out tables were event a gradient of colors and a last add-on of incorporating fruit, she did it and did it perfectly. We got numerous compliments from our florals and many guests begged to take center pieces home. Aside from the quality of her work, she is overall a good person. So friendly, sympathized with the stress of wedding planning, and really just felt like a friend and someone on my team. I am so appreciative of her and can not recommend her enough!

We always approach each film with a detail-oriented eye, considering you, the film, the composition, the audio, the lighting, and everything in between, to ensure we achieve a comprehensive film with an emotional impact. It is also a priority of ours that your film resonates with your spirit. That it represents you, your story, your love, and your style authentically. That's why we get to know you and your partner well and cater to your preferred look.

Justine Bursoni Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Union, IL

Since 2008, I’ve found myself as a professional photographer who strives to capture life, in all of its twists + turns, candidly. In addition to taking pictures, I am: the owner of The Made Fest, a handmade + vintage festival; in love with my husband; a co-founder of Smile Politely, a Champaign-Urbana local culture magazine and The Pygmalion Festival; a master gardener; an epicurean; and a mother. I am a feminist and a LGBTIAQ ally.

Awarded Best of Zola
TLDR: Justine is the best and her photos not only turned out as beautiful pieces of art, but also perfectly captured our personalities and the love and spirit of the day. Full version: Your wedding day really does fly by in a flash, but if you're lucky you have a photographer like Justine to help you remember it. Justine is a supremely talented photographer with an artist's eye and an appreciation for candid moments. Throughout the process, she showed a genuine desire to know who we were as people, and what we wanted from our photos. She is kind and reliable, puts everyone she meets at ease, and is a joy to work with. Our photos turned out ridiculously beautiful, and we'll look back happily at them for years.

Oakhouse Wedding Films

  • Serves Union, IL

Oakhouse is collective of filmmakers and videographers based in Rockford, Illinois, that are obsessed with making and telling great cinematic stories through video. What better way to tell one of the most important stories of your life than a film of your big day!

We had the most amazing experience hiring Oakhouse Wedding Films. We were first introduced to them when I stood up in a friends wedding and we met Taylor. We then attended a wedding and Taylor was at the event. We saw the results of both weddings and knew Oakhouse was the right vendor for us. Everyone at Oakhouse, Nick, Matt and more were so great and communicative throughout the whole process leading up to the wedding day. Our videographer was Taylor and he is absolutely amazing!! We had the best time with him and it was like you didn't even know he was there. My photographer and Taylor worked together like a dream and I feel like they captured all of the important moments for us. Taylor and my husband really hit it off and the groomsmen were raving about how great he was, (yes! the groomsmen were into it!!). We got our video in lightening speed and I couldn't have asked for someone better for our wedding day and would recommend Oakhouse and Taylor any day.

The value we received for the quality of their work was amazing - they demonstrated an incredible attention to detail and amazing skill at running the wedding day smoothly. Concept One's photographers knew exactly how to capture all the special moments, big and small, that made our day so unique and memorable.

Cassaundra Cherney Photography

  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Union, IL

With 10 years of experience, Cassaundra began her photography journey at the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire as a Fine Arts student majoring in Photography. During her time in college, she assisted and second shot for many wedding's and events. In 2014, Cassaundra moved to Arizona on a whim and began her own photography business. The desert and mountains ignited in her a new passion for photography. After a short stint in LA, Cassaundra now lives in Milwaukee with her eight-year-old daughter. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, martial arts, and doing art with her daughter.

My engagement shoot was INCREDIBLE thanks to Cassaundra's vision! We shot at a beautiful Malibu beach during the sunset and she was reassuring, creative, and communicative throughout the process. Our photos were such a hit with my family, that we used her for our wedding and my sister also enlisted her services for her civil ceremony. Cassaundra has become our family photographer!
