I'm Kate! A Chicago-area wedding photographer who loves getting to know her clients and offering a personalized approach.

Each couple is unique and I love offering an experience that celebrates YOU specifically.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kate was one of our favorite vendors and a pretty important one as our wedding day photographer! We had a great experience with her at both our engagement photo shoot and on our wedding day. I also met with her a few times for consulting/advice on our timeline before the big day, which was SO helpful. Kate makes you feel comfortable and natural while she is behind the camera making the magic happen! She is so kind and has such a calming presence, yet keeps everything moving and on schedule. Kate makes sure to get all of your preferred photos, from detail shots to group shots and the moments in between. We absolutely love our sneak peek shots and are so excited to get our full gallery and physical photos! I highly recommend Kate for your wedding, she gets it done beautifully and you won't be disappointed. Best decision we made :)

Everything was perfect. Justin was the best and I will be referring him to all my friends. He was thoughtful, always checked in on us, made sure we were good on food and drinks, and confirmed the timeline with us. He made sure we liked the music, took good requests from guests, and kept everyone happy and dancing. I could not have asked for a better DJ and production - everyone was telling me how much they enjoyed the DJ. Thank you all again!

Denise and her team were such a pleasure to work with! As a photographer I’m able to almost go on autopilot when working with Marryment because I know they are on top of every small detail! From the flatlay, to the dress, the fine details of the timeline, etc. This might be an overstatement, but it also seems that Marryment has a huge following from word of mouth and not from a bunch of mindless advertising. That tells me one thing that is most important for any planner to have with couples…Trust! Every couple knows undoubtedly that their day is in great hands with Marryment! If I had money on the line I would put my money on them any day of the weekend!

Explore hundreds of engagement ring and wedding band styles, including natural and lab-grown diamonds, or work with our team to create a custom design that's uniquely yours.

When my fiancé decided to propose, K. Hollis Jewelers was the only place we trusted to create my dream ring. From our first conversation with Alesha, she was transparent about timelines and pricing, which gave us peace of mind throughout the entire process. She worked closely with my fiancé to bring our ideas to life and guided him through every step of the buying process with patience and expertise. The attention to detail in the final ring is incredible, and the pricing was incredibly fair for the quality of work we received. Alesha made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and enjoyable. We couldn't be happier with our ring or our experience at K. Hollis Jewelers!

Working out of Lombard, IL, I am a type A planner from the very center of my heart. I love lists, schedules, budgets, and all things organized. Weddings are my passion because they involve so much coordinated detail in every phase of the day from start to finish. I love to see my client's vision for their special day come together with every check off the to do list. I have been coordinating weddings since early 2018, but have been networking in the industry for several years now. I love working with all of the gorgeous venues we have here in the suburbs of Chicago and can't wait to get started planning your dream wedding.

Breann did such a great job helping us plan our wedding! My wife and I weren't sure if we wanted to have a month of coordinator, but we are so glad that we hired Breann. She helped my wife and I plan table placement, decoration set up and tear down, and she was prepared for a lot of the little things that we hadn't even thought of. She even brought us a plate of appetizers during our post ceremony photos so we weren't starving before the reception. All of the organization felt like it came so naturally to her and we never had to worry about communication with our vendors or who stands where and when. We had such a beautiful wedding and it ran smoothly thanks to Breann.

Hi, I’m Joe! I’ve been photographing weddings for over 20 years because I love capturing authentic, heartfelt, and timeless moments while keeping the day fun and stress-free. I gently guide couples and families when needed, making sure the moments that matter most are captured beautifully.

Working with Joe was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding day. From start to finish, he made everything feel effortless. He’s calm, fun, and somehow everywhere and nowhere at the same time, capturing every moment without ever feeling intrusive. He went above and beyond — from stepping into traffic to help us get the perfect shot to catering to every need we had. Our photos at the Peninsula Hotel, North Avenue Beach, Millennium Park, the Rookery, and Board of Trade are absolutely stunning, and we get to relive the day every time we look at them. Joe isn’t just a photographer — he’s like family now, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience or the pictures.

I couldn’t recommend Premier Entertainment enough to anyone looking to host a wedding or an event! Darrin and his wife are incredible and Darrin was so organized and thorough and friendly during the entire planning process! Our guests never left the dance floor from start to finish. He was so collaborative and made great suggestions! The generations dance he came up with was such a creative spin on the typical anniversary dance. It really got the party started! Thanks again for everything!!

Sarah is amazing to work with. We had a large backyard, outdoor wedding .. the day ended up being the rainiest day in June but Sarah executed the day perfectly. From the very beginning, She was so easy to communicate with, very helpful and always thought of things that I would never even thought about. If you are looking for someone to ease your mind, I recommend hiring Sarah for your big day, you won't regret it! Thank You Sarah!!!
