We can not recommend IG PHOTO VIDEO INC enough. We had Tetyana and Egidijus as our photographers and Irad as our videographer. We also were in contact with Ivan. He was extremely communicative throughout the entire process. From introducing us to Tetyana, Egidijus and Irad, How the process would happen from start to finish to getting our photos and videos back. The photos and video blew us out of the water. We are so in awe of the work and quality they put into our day. They were truly the best to work with from start to finish. The only thing is we have so many pictures I can not choose a favorite. (But that's a great problem to have) They truly captured my husband and I in our photos and videos and we are so blessed we came across their page. This company is 100 percent worth the money and we wouldn't have changed a single thing. You guys were amazing in person and in your work! You can definitely tell they love what they do by the work they produce. A huge thank you to Tetyana, Egidijus, Irad, and Ivan for helping make our day extra special and a day we can look back on in 50 plus years!

Laree Photo & Video specializes in capturing unforgettable moments through stunning wedding photography and videography. Based in the Chicago suburbs, our team is dedicated to creating timeless images and films that reflect the unique love story of each couple. Stephanie Schmidt, the owner and lead photographer, specializes in both artistic and documentary styles. She strives to preserve every detail of your special day in the most beautiful way. You can trust Stephanie and her team to deliver lasting memories you'll cherish forever.

Stephanie is just incredible! We hired her for our big day and had our engagement shoot with her downtown. We had never had photos done before and had no idea what to expect. She took incredible pictures of us but the best part was she made us feel like we were just hanging out with a friend and it made it all worth it because our pictures showed our awkward but fun side because we felt comfortable. Fast forward to our wedding day, we had to reschedule our reception due to Covid so we didn’t have a ceremony but we did have all the time in the world for photos and we made the most of it. It gave us all the extra time to do a first look with the best man in a wedding dress, and more. We didn’t worry about our timeline but we never felt rushed when times were going back to back. She checked in with us multiple times to make sure we had what we needed and took pictures of all the fun details so now when we look back we have all the memories and can enjoy the night like a guest. Fast forward to this year, we loved working with her so much as our family is expanded we reached out to have her do our pregnancy announcement photos AND our newborn photos with our little man. It is so special to find someone you trust and can deliver exactly what you need and more. Cannot recommend Stephanie and her team enough!

From the moment we first spoke with Erik, we knew he was the perfect photographer for our wedding. His friendly and passionate personality immediately put us at ease, and his professionalism shone through every step of the way. Erik's work is truly exceptional - the photos he captured are authentic, beautiful, expressive, emotive, and elegant. He had amazing ideas for poses and shots that resulted in stunning, one-of-a-kind images that we will cherish forever. Erik made our wedding day incredibly fun and joyful, keeping us laughing and smiling the entire time. His efficient and organized approach ensured the photo portion of the day went seamlessly. We are beyond thrilled with the work Erik did and cannot recommend him highly enough for any couple looking for a truly talented and wonderful wedding photographer. Erik was so great to work with right from the start. I could tell right off the bat just through email that he was so passionate about the work that he does. He also showed so much excitement to get the opportunity to capture our special day. He was very professional and thorough when communicating with us. Our engagement photo session was SO fun, and my husband and I both immediately felt comfortable with Erik. He is so friendly and so easy to work with. Getting pictures taken like that with a significant other can feel awkward, but Erik made it anything but that! It felt very natural and enjoyable, and it felt the exact same way on our wedding day. He took the time to get to know us and our vibe, and rolled with that when taking our pictures. All of our pictures capture our relationship and our love so well, and I’m so thankful we chose Erik! If you want beautiful pictures and some super fun photo sessions, book Erik as your photographer!

Meg Dunn Photography

  • Serves Cherry Valley, IL

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 was an absolute pleasure to work with! From engagement pictures to our actual wedding day, Meg felt more like a good friend than just another vendor. She and her assistant, Vic, took the time to understand our priorities and ensure that each and every moment we wanted to capture was covered. In addition to this, they were also insanely creative creating images we didn’t even think about or consider. You’d be silly not to consider her.

I'm Courtney! I care not only about providing you with sharp, authentic and colorful images on your wedding day, but helping you to be fully present on your wedding day so you remember all the big and little moments.

Courtney was AMAZING! I found Expedition Joy on instagram when she was doing a giveaway contest for a free Engagement session. To our suprise and BIGGEST BLESSING— we won! When my husband and I met Courtney, we instantly clicked! She was so easy to talk to and made us feel so comfortable so quickly! She was very intentional about building trust with her and having a friendship as well! We had great conversations during our shoot and got to learn about her aswell! After our session, my husband and I both agreed that we NEEDED Courtney to be a part of our big day. We expressed our excitement with Courtney just as much as she expressed hers with us! During the planning months, she was so easy to reach and made us feel confident that she would go above and beyond for us on our special day and she DID. Courtney showed up camera in hand and started shooting the second she walked in the door! She was ON IT. She continued to encourage the bridal party and family so they felt comfortable as she was taking photos. She was so intentional with everyone! Courtney and her second shooter were the life of the party on the dance floor! They had a blast with us and it was so much fun for all of our guests to cheer them on when they went to bust a move in the center circle! Courtney continued her 5-star reputation throughout the night and even went above and beyond to stay past our contracted time for our grand exit! She took the most memorable photos of our day, we will always remeber her when we reminisce on our beautiful photos! She truly is Expedition Joy

My love for photography began in Rockford, IL, where I discovered storytelling through a lens. Over the years, I’ve captured Midwest landscapes, national parks, and life’s meaningful moments.

Whether celebrating love, connection, or a fleeting moment, I’m here to calm nerves, share laughter, and capture memories you’ll cherish forever. Let’s create something timeless and yours.

Working with Tyler Yomantas Photography was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. His communication style was easy, efficient, and comfortable, putting us at ease throughout the entire process.

I'm Chrissy and I'm a documentary wedding photographer with 10+ years of experience who fully believes that your life deserves to be documented truthfully. My focus at your wedding isn't to steal you away from your family and friends for hours to make "art," but to empathically capture the moments and relationships present at your wedding. Your wedding photos are the single most important wedding investment you'll make. After the day is done and over, they will be what tethers you to your memories of your day. They will be the heirlooms you'll pass down to your grandchildren to hang on walls and sit on bedsides for generations to come.

We loved Chrissy! She was fun and easy to work with, and I loved that she provided color and black/white photos. She did everything on our list, and listened to our ideas as well. Nothing felt forced or over-posed, but she was great at guiding next moves when needed. Will definitely use again for future photos.

My name is Michelle, but my friends call me Meesh, so you can too! Most days you can find me editing pictures at Starbucks, working on home projects with my husband, and probably drinking absurd amounts of sparkling water. I've lived in Wisconsin, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Iowa, and currently live in Northern Illinois so you could basically say my heart belongs to the Midwest. I take weddings and sessions all around the Midwest and really all over the country! I’ve been told I’m the “mom” of the friend group and I LIVE to be over prepared!

With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

Their communication was quick and helpful from the very beginning - they were always available to answer any questions I had. The quality of their work was truly stunning, with gorgeous posed photos as well as amazing candids that captured all the special moments of our day. The whole OLAS team was so supportive and made me feel comfortable in front of the camera. It was also super convenient to bundle the photography, videography, and DJ services through them at an amazing price compared to booking each service separately. I'm thrilled with the beautiful memories they were able to capture of our wedding day.

Pedro was awesome! We were looking for a local (in Chicago) photographer, and found the perfect one. He was super easy to work with, and took amazing pictures. Our initial meeting was via Zoom, which made working it around our schedule super easy. He was extremely responsive to all of my emails, and even was workable with our budget and what we wanted to accomplish with photography.
