I am a midwesterner, born and raised in the burbs north of Chicago who strives to capture moments that are gone in a second, impossible to reproduce, but with the help of an artist touch, can last a lifetime. I'm here to connect with you, listen to you, create with you, and provide a stress-free, comfortable atmosphere from start to finish. 3 things about myself, I have 3 dogs (yes, its crazy LOL), I am in loveee with Target, and coffee and mango froyo are my love languages.

Nichole is the best choice you can make for photography for your wedding day! She has a special ability to make all of her couples feel amazing. We love how our gallery came out and she did an amazing job getting pictures without them feeling forced or awkward. We had so much fun having her capture our day. Throughout the planning process, she was always available for a phone call and responsive via email to our questions. Thank you Nichole for everything, you are the best!

Dreaming of the perfect Wedding First Dance? We take pride in helping our couples make that dream true. Your wedding day and first dance are the most wonderful moments in life that you will remember forever. Whether you are looking for a sophisticated, fun, or mash up dance, we will make sure to customize it both to your needs and desires and to the song and dance style of your choice. We also specialize in Father-Daughter, Mother-Son, & Bridal Party dances, and general dancing for the reception. Send us a note today with additional questions or to book your First Introductory lesson with one of our fantastic professional dance instructors!

We found Lake Shore Dance Academy about 2 years ago in a total panic. With only six weeks until our wedding and zero dance experience between us, the thought of performing in front of a crowd was terrifying. In just a few short weeks, Anna managed to take us from absolute beginners to confidently nailing a fun Rumba that completely shocked our friends and family! Apparently, the chaos of our wedding dance wasn't enough to deter us, because 2 years later, we are still at it with Anna. Since that first dance, she has continued to push us out of our comfort zones in the best ways possible. We’ve progressed from wedding prep, to performing a fully-costumed Viennese Waltz showcase, to recently completing our third official dance competition! Dance has added so much to our lives. For me as someone who works from home as a software developer, it’s the perfect physical outlet to disconnect from stress. For my wife, it has been an incredible boost to confidence and self-expression. Most importantly, it’s given us a shared goal and a fun way to connect and problem-solve as a couple. Anna has a fun and light hearted personality yet manages to strike an effective balance of making lessons challenging, yet effective and rewarding. Whether you just want to survive your wedding dance or you want to eventually hit the competition floor, we can't recommend Lake Shore Dance Academy enough. We look forward to continuing our dance journey for years to come!

We had Jimmy Tokarski from Amp events as our wedding DJ and he was phenomenal! Not only did he keep the energy up, and engaged all of our guests, but he was so easy to work with. He really cared about our special day just as much as us. He got in an accident the week of, and still showed up for us, bruised face and all. We told him we wanted our guests to be on the dance floor all night and he delivered!! The dance floor was literally full all night. We have gotten so many compliments about him, and I have had multiple friends reach out weeks after our wedding saying that the music at other weddings they’ve attended isn’t the same because of how good ours was. You will not regret going with Amp Events and having Jimmy as your DJ!

Hi, Im Carol DeAnda, born and raised in the southwest suburbs and now living in Lake in the Hills Illinois, with my studio in downtown Algonquin. I have always been the one with the camera since grade school, but it wasn't until high school I realized that this could be my calling. After high school, I attended Harrington College of Design for the Digital photography program and started on my path to becoming a professional photographer. I am a PPA member and CPP (Certified Professional Photographer) and hold the Master Wedding Photographer degree from PPA, as well as a member of The Wedding Equality Alliance.

Carol and her team are ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL when it comes to photography! The work is second-to-none, the professionalism is always consistent, and everyone is always so friendly! :) I have been working alongside Carol at weddings for several years now. As a DJ, it can be tough to communicate with vendors and make sure everyone is always ready to go. This is definitely not the case with Carol. I'm able to find her in a moment's notice and she's ready to capture those precious moments in an instant! Not to mention, her genuine love for her clients. Each and every couple that she works for she gives her all - and that not only shows on the day of an event, but also in her work. Carol and her team edit and produce SOME OF THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHY WORK I HAVE EVER SEEN. Seriously. If you haven't checked out her portfolio, do it now. Carol has an eye for not only capturing your ideas, but also the tiny details that no one else would ever think about. Do yourself a favor a book with Carol and her team.

A decade in professional theater. Nine years as a fine art street photographer. Now I shoot weddings. The theater taught me comfort—how to help nervous couples relax and forget the camera. The street work trained my eye—finding extraordinary frames in ordinary moments, chasing light like it owes me money. The result: signature portraits that feel like paintings and a shoot that feels like hanging out with a friend. 300+ weddings. 151+ five-star reviews. A 10-photographer team. Zero cookie-cutter work. Camera-shy? Creative? Both? Let's talk.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jeremy is absolutely fantastic to work with; he is not only professional but incredibly positive and brings great energy to any event. Our wedding was the greatest day of our lives and we are so thankful Jeremy and his team were there to document it as it really comes across in the photos. His prices were very fair and we hope to work with him and his amazing team again in the future!

We had our wedding at Bluestem Farm in Illinois, and it was absolutely amazing from start to finish. We received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful the venue was — it truly speaks for itself. The entire setup made the day feel fun, relaxed, and incredibly special. One of our favorite parts was the flexibility to choose all of our own vendors, which allowed us to really personalize our day. At the same time, Bluestem provided a list of fantastic recommended vendors, which made planning so much easier. Choosing Kelly, the owner, as our day-of coordinator was hands down one of the best decisions we made. She ensured everything ran smoothly and handled anything that came up behind the scenes so we could be fully present and enjoy every moment. We never had to worry about a thing. We genuinely wish we could go back and do it all over again. We couldn’t recommend Bluestem Farm more highly!

As a premier bilingual Chicago Wedding DJ with 19 years of experience my goal is simple: Make your dream wedding a reality. I am proud to keep the dance floor packed all night long and create an atmosphere that feels 100% like you. My process starts with understanding your style, your story, and exactly how you envision your celebration. By connecting with you early on, I ensure your entire day flows seamlessly according to your specific vision.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you're looking for a wedding DJ, I cannot recommend Fidel enough! From the very beginning, he was organized, professional, and genuinely invested in making our wedding day exactly what we envisioned. Before the wedding, we had three video calls to go over every detail. He also created a shared Google Doc where we could easily organize everything he needed to know, from our ceremony processional songs, cocktail hour and dinner playlists, bridal party entrance songs, must-play songs, and even a list of songs we absolutely did not want played. The entire planning process was seamless and made us feel confident that every detail was covered. Fidel also provided all of the audio equipment for our outdoor ceremony, including speakers and microphones for our officiant and my cousin, who sang during the ceremony. One of the most thoughtful things he did was help with my processional song. I had chosen a song that didn't have an instrumental version anywhere. Instead of telling me it wasn't possible, he created a custom instrumental version so my cousin could practice singing with it before the wedding. That meant so much to me and is something I'll never forget. On the wedding day, Fidel absolutely delivered. He transitioned smoothly through every part of the day and kept the reception flowing effortlessly. He took song requests throughout the night while still staying true to the vibe we wanted, and I especially appreciated that he played clean versions of songs earlier in the reception since we had a lot of younger cousins celebrating with us. The dance floor stayed full, the energy never dropped, and everyone had an amazing time. In fact, the very next day, every person I asked about the wedding immediately commented on how great the music was. That says everything. You can truly tell that Fidel loves what he does, and it shows in every part of his work. He went above and beyond in ways we never expected, and because of him our ceremony and reception were absolutely perfect. If you're considering hiring him, don't hesitate, you won't regret it!

My photography style is timeless, natural, light, and effortlessly real. My goal has always been to capture moments as they genuinely unfold — not forced or overly posed, but full of emotion and authenticity. From the very beginning of my wedding photography journey, I set out to tell honest love stories — the quiet glances, the joyful tears, the belly laughs, and all the in-between magic. The more experience I gain, the deeper my passion grows. Every wedding reminds me why I love what I do.

Lavita Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very first interaction, their communication was efficient, kind, and dependable. They have a truly unique style that captured all the special moments of our big day. The quality of their work was amazing - they were so appreciative and passionate about getting the perfect shots. Lavita Photography was worth every penny, and I'm so glad we chose them. Lavita ensured I got all the shots I needed, and was very detailed, even arriving early to prepare. As someone who worries a lot about trust for such an important occasion, I knew Lavita would be the best choice after they shot us in their studio for our wedding invitations. They work with all body types and made me feel and look beautiful. I even got some of the photos framed, they turned out so well!

Shannon took care of all the small details we often forget about, ensuring our wedding day ran smoothly. We highly recommend Ethereal Confections, especially for weddings of 80-85 guests looking for a cost-effective, high-quality vendor who will make your special day that much more memorable.

From the moment we booked Nina Marqui Photography for our engagement, their communication was prompt, quick, and great. The quality of their work was absolutely beautiful, amazing, and perfect. Nina was so unobtrusive during the moment - she said she was going to hide and I didn't even see her when she started taking pictures! We were thrilled to receive sneak peeks just days after the engagement, and the final photos captured every special moment exactly as we had hoped. Nina Marqui Photography went above and beyond to make our engagement day perfect.

Working with Fox Reverie Media LLC was such a great choice for our wedding day. From the very first conversation, she was quick to respond and crystal clear in all her communication, which made the planning process smooth and stress-free. Even when our venue address changed at the last minute, she rolled with it and still delivered stunning photos and videos that captured every meaningful moment. What really impressed us was how thoughtful they were—she was constantly moving around to find the perfect angles of our sunset, our families, and especially the intimate shots between my husband and I. She also helped us film a secret wedding video with our closest family that we revealed to guests on the big day, and honestly, everyone was blown away.

I am a certified wedding planner with a passion for learning. It all started over 10 years ago when I worked as a birthday party host at a park district, eventually expanding to fundraising events, showers, and weddings. My passion for weddings and events grew, and I began helping friends and family with their weddings. Now, I run my own business! There is nothing I love more than seeing an idea come to life! When I'm not planning weddings, you'll find me cuddling with my baby, enjoying the show Friends under a cozy blanket, or sharing a meal with a glass (or two) of wine with my husband. I'd love to chat and learn more about you!

From the start, the team at Yes to I Do was quick to respond to all of our questions and requests. They were incredibly organized and detail-oriented, ensuring that every aspect of our ceremony and reception was carefully planned out. Rebecca in particular went above and beyond, helping us coordinate with all our vendors months in advance and providing helpful templates and suggestions to keep us organized. On the day of and during the rehearsal, the Yes to I Do team thought of every little detail, directing each person on how the ceremony would flow and regularly checking on my husband and I to make sure we had everything we needed - they even kept our goblets full! We were truly able to relax and enjoy our special day thanks to their attentive and considerate service. We highly recommend Yes to I Do for any couple planning their wedding in the Chicago area.
