I had some changes from my trial with them both and they listened and delivered on the big day.

Bonnie Drake Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,100
  • Serves Union, IL

I've been passionate about documenting and creating since I was a little girl running wild in the suburbs of St. Paul. I would steal my parent's film camera and take dozens (okay maybe hundreds) of blurry photos of our dog. In high school, I spent babysitting money on a polaroid and then finally my beloved point and shoot, which was my favorite accessory for a night out! I was gifted my first DSLR in my early twenties, and that changed the way I looked at the role photography played in my life. What was always a beloved hobby became my passion, and I've never been happier.

Awarded Best of Zola
Bonne was our photographer for our wedding in April 2022, and we are SO HAPPY we found her. We considered photographers that had a second shooter, but honestly didn’t feel like we missed out at all as Bonnie did such a great job. Bonnie is so nice and has a way to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. We did an engagement shoot which was a great way to know Bonnie and get some beautiful pictures for our invitations. We lived out of state at the time and Bonnie was super flexible to accommodate our schedule when we were visiting and recommended a great location. On our wedding day, Bonnie was very professional and organized which kept us on schedule while also making sure we weren’t worried about timing or about missing out on photos. We really wanted to be at our cocktail hour and she made it happen! But what really stands out is Bonnie’s eye for picking out great locations and capturing photos in the moment. The portrait shots were well framed and the candid photos really captured the emotions of the day. We snuck away with Bonnie to take some golden hour photos and they turned out so well! Bonnie had scoped out locations around our venue the day before which allowed for us to quickly sneak away to an awesome local. She is so talented! We love our photos and would recommend her to anyone!

Bisoux Event Co.

  • Planner
  • Offers 3 services
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Union, IL

We were born from lessons learned by tackling the most important wedding to date; my own. A planner to my core, I never considered the need for assistance when planning and executing my wedding. And while I threw a truly great party, it came at the expense of me enjoying my own wedding. I took away from the experience the hard truth that just because I could, didn’t mean I should, and have turned that into something that I truly love; watching other couples bask in their moment, stress-free. We offer a variety of wedding and honeymoon services with the simple mission of creating beautiful, unique events that feel as good as they look.

Awarded Best of Zola
Lisa was a godsend for my wedding. A lot of planners I had consulted with were a little antiquated and wanted to force their vision upon me. I had already secured a handful of major items for my wedding: venue, food, music, photographer. Lisa was so helpful as she provides a new fresh prospective to planning and executing - conscious of both style and budget. She's highly adept at being both extremely down to earth and approachable yet highly professional when dealing with difficult vendors. In the end, Lisa helped me finalize all of the nitty gritty details for the wedding weekend and executed everything flawlessly. I'd highly recommend her services and support for your planning needs!

  • Serves Union, IL

I've always been a creative at heart, my own mother is an artist so maybe it's genetic? However, photography was never on my radar. One fateful day, a friend reached out to me requesting engagement photos for her and her love. My iPhone and I were absolutely honored at the opportunity! After the debut of those beautiful, phone quality captures, the inquiries came rolling in! I was pleasantly surprised and within months decided it was only right to invest in proper gear. Officially established in 2021, I've been beyond blessed with the chance to meet so many wonderful people and capture their once in a lifetime moments! Anya Grace 🖤

Anya is a highly talented photographer. I struggle with following simple directions, which may be due to the language barrier as English is not my native language. However, Anya was extremely patient with me. I hired her twice for my wedding and graduation pictures, but I actually worked with her three times, including engagement photos, the wedding, and the graduation shoot. She made me feel like a celebrity in all the pictures. I highly recommend her to everyone.

As a small boy, I would sit for hours watching my mother hand-color portraits for a local photographer, during the cold winter months, by a fire in our family room. From there I began taking my own pictures with my first box camera. Fast forward to a restless twenty-something working as a microbiologist, taking weddings and portraits on weekends. Eventually I graduated college with an M.A. in Photography and started out in Chicago, assisting numerous photographers, shooting everything from oranges to weddings. I have been fortunate to have worked all over the world. Photography is more than a job, it’s an avocation, a passion, it's what I do.

My name is Kate Scott Daly, and I can't wait to meet you! I'm a Chicago native and have been a professional photographer for nearly a decade. I am obsessed with capturing the perfect moment that will make you gasp and say "Oh my god, this is amazing!" Being a queer woman, it is so important to me that you feel safe, loved, and beautiful every step of the way. If you're looking for someone you can relax with and just be yourself, you've found me! Let's face it: it can be awkward being in front of a camera. Even I feel nervous sometimes! I understand that anxiety and will do everything I can to make you feel fabulous!

I contacted Kate sometime in November to take photos of my proposal to my then-girlfriend, Morgan. Kate was super easy to work with from the start. She listened to my ideas and gave great input to help me nail down my plan. When the day came, she got the candid photos seamlessly and they turned out great. She was so enthusiastic and happy and it made the shoot a fun time. All of our friends and family love how the final album turned out. I would definitely keep Kate at the top of my list for any future photography needs.

They were able to work with me on creating a lavender gin cocktail. This was extremely important as lavender is my mother’s favorite. Not only were the drinks delicious, but inspired by the bride and groom which made it even more special!! I was also able to rent their bags game for our guests, it was nice to have everything all in one. The bartenders/owners, Robyn and Fatima, were attentive, creative, and so helpful.

Okyne Medialab is a contemporary wedding DJ business based in Austin, Texas and Chicago, Illinois. This entertainment company strives to bring a fresh perspective to the DJ industry. While still taking the lead on the night, these DJs will remain true to your vision and expectations.

A few days before our wedding, I got a message from Al saying our DJ had COVID and that they were going to send someone else. I was super bummed because I had loved our original pick (DJ Marcus) who did a fantastic job DJing our friends wedding in 2021. The replacement DJ (DJ Jose) called us right away to review all the details of the night with us. I was still hesitant, but was beginning to feel more comfortable during the conversation. On wedding day, DJ Jose was kind, professional, punctual, and ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT on the dance floor!! No one sat down for the entire night and guests are STILL raving about DJ Jose! Many guests have even requested Jose's song selections for the entire day (ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception) because they loved it so much! Props to Okyne for having such talented DJs that can pick up events for each other and still do a fantastic job. Al was very responsive and easy to work with, as well! Smart choice for any couple that is looking for a party on the dance floor

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!

Hello! I’m Amy Lynn, owner and lead videographer at Forever Hello Films. I've been a fashion photographer and music video director for 13 years, and storytelling has always been at the heart of my work. When my closest friends started getting engaged and approached me wanting me to be involved in documenting their days I knew creating films was what I wanted to do for them. The truth is, I love love. I wanted to capture their day in a way that would truly allow them to relive those moments again and again. Re-experiencing the love they shared on that day and what it felt like in a way that feels like them.

Amy Lynn's attention to detail, beautiful storytelling, and utmost professionalism is unmatched! She captured our day flawlessly and I have had so many people tell me how they love our wedding photos and day-of video. She is such an easy-going and friendly person that it feels like your best friend is photographing you the entire day. I felt so comfortable with her around us, especially during those intimate "getting ready" moments and the "first look" with my dad. Her time, professionalism, and high-quality photos and videos are definitely worth the investment. Since our wedding, we have asked Amy Lynn to photograph milestone moments in our lives. This just is a testament that not only will she become one of your favorite vendors, but become a life-long friend. Do yourself a favor and just book her!

Carrie and her floral team were nothing short of incredible! They truly brought my vision to life and made my wedding day more beautiful than I could have imagined. From the initial consultation, they were so easy to work with—extremely communicative, always listening to what I wanted, and offering expert advice. Their prices were incredibly reasonable for the level of detail and artistry they delivered. Not only did they provide stunning florals, but they also hand-crafted unique decor items that added such a personal and custom touch to the entire day. Everything was carefully thought out and perfectly executed. They made the day so easy for us by taking care of all the setup and teardown, which was such a relief. My guests were in awe of how breathtaking both the ceremony and reception spaces were, and I’ve had countless compliments on the florals. The champagne wall they created was a huge hit and became a highlight of the reception! I can’t thank Carrie and her team enough for making our day as magical as it was. Additionally, our coordinator, Elizabeth was an absolute lifesaver on our wedding day! She was so organized, and everything went off without a hitch thanks to her. She kept the groomsmen in check and made sure everything was running smoothly according to the in-depth timeline she created for us and our vendors. One thing I truly appreciated was how she made sure my husband and I were taken care of, ensuring we had food and drinks amidst all the craziness. Any last-minute issues that popped up, she was there to handle them, making sure I could focus on enjoying the day. Elizabeth truly relieved so much stress and anxiety, and I am forever grateful for her support! Do not think, just inquire and book this incredible team! I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day!

Tia was the bow that tied everything together to create our perfect day. From the very beginning she took the time to get to know who we were and what our vision was. She always answered our questions quickly and did not hesitate to offer suggestions when decisions became tough. When it came to the day of the wedding, I was able to sit back and enjoy my day because I knew Tia was going to take care of everything else. If I recommended anything to a future bride, it would be to have a Tia!
