Photographers, Videographers and Beauty Teams

butterfieldeight

I need some advice/ rec's on photographers, videographers and someone to come to our location to get ready for hair and makeup.

My budget is around 5-7k for photography, 3k for video and 2k for hair and makeup. (myself, 6 attendants and 2 moms)

Thank you!

For photography, I would recommend Tasha from redwallphotography.com.  Her package is a lot less than your budget, but her work is beautiful and she's really a fantastic person as well!

I'm using Holly Kasprisin from www.chicagobridalhairandmakeup.com for my hair and makeup. I know she also has a large team that works with her on larger wedding as well.

Hi there,

I am a makeup artist and would love to do your makeup for your wedding.  I can come to your location on your big day.  Please email me at aprettyprincessmakeup@yahoo.com if you would like more information.

Best,

I highly recommend Olivia Leigh Photographie; you can check her out for yourself at www.olivialeighphotographie.com. Make sure to look at her blog.

Ditto for Tasha Schalk @Redwall Photography! I don't have suggestions with hair and make up as I'm using my own stylist @Amato Salon and Spa in Tinley Park.

Check out I Do films for your videographer. They were out of my budget but I LOVE their work. We ended up going with Shoot the Bride films.
For hair and make up, Sonia Roselli is one of the best around. Cynthia Sally is also highly recommended for makeup.

Thank you brides to be!

I love Olivia Leigh and I Do films! Their work is beyond beautiful. I have also stumbled upon Kevin Weinstein whose work I really like as well. They all seem to be true masters of their craft.

And thank you for the makeup artist suggestions. I am now obsessed with Sonia Roselli's website! Her work is by far the most impressive out there! I will check her out when the time comes and if we nail down this venue this week.

Is there any other advice on who else I should be looking into or booking in my first round once we get our venue locked in?  These things are obviously the most important to me and plan to go dress shopping some time after the new year since our day may be a day in November '11. We are trying to book 11-11-11. So far we are finding a lot of things booked already!

Glad you like Olivia...she is by far the best...my favorite vendor booked. I can't wait to see how the weddings pics turn out. We just loved our e-pics.

For video, Blink of a Eye Productions.

Second Life On Prints!! Just got our e-photos back and they are amazing!

We used Aliy at http://allisonmayer.com for our photography.   Your budget can get you a lot from her, and she gives digital negatives.

For Hair I recommend Sharon Daniel Salon, they come to you,and thanks to knottie reviews, I started going to their salon a few months ago, and have been so happy with them, and they do great wedding styles!

For Make-up I recommend Deanna Naura-Ayoub, she is great, very talented, and has alot of experience ( used to work in Vegas, head makeup artist at the Wyn)

For video, look at Treehouse Media. They do really FUN and UNIQUE videos that are actually shot to be viewed AT your reception, as well as being your videographer for the day. My friend used them, and I haven't really seen anything else like them.
