Nico and Chris got married at the Mill Creek Golf Club in Geneva this year. If you are a bride or groom looking to get an idea of how the photographs will turn out at the Mill Creek Golf Club then you came to the right place. The below photo gallery is an assortment of photos that were taken at the Mill Creek Golf Club. The Golf Course that they have there makes for beautiful outdoor photos and fun golf cart shots. We are familiar with this location and recommend it for brides in the Chicagoland area or Western Suburbs looking for an elegant reception hall, wonderful service and a beautiful location to take outdoor wedding photographs.

If you are wondering when you should start your search for your wedding photographer, you are not alone. Wedding checklists can be helpful to an extent but they should only be used as a basic guideline. When you should start searching for your wedding vendors is specific to your personal situation and your unique wedding.We at Jolie Images recommend that you begin your search as soon as you set your wedding date. This is for a number of reasons. The most important being that you can lock down your date and be assured the wedding photographer of your choice. Another good reason is that you will get current prices of the services as most wedding vendors increase their prices every year. Lastly, you can check it off your list so you don’t have to rush as your date approaches(and trust me, it will come fast . There are many more benefits to choosing your vendors right away as opposed to waiting. At Jolie Images, we only require a small down payment to hold your date, your photographer and of course, your prices.

We must warn you that if you choose an independent photographer, you make sure that he or she has good references and that they can guarantee you a backup in the event that they will not be able to photograph your wedding. We have heard horror stories of brides and grooms giving their money to a photographer only to realize a couple of days before their wedding that their photographer is nowhere to be found- with their money. When choosing a reputable, insured and established photography studio like Jolie Images, you will always be assured that no matter what happens between your wedding planning and your wedding date, you will have a photographer. We have back-up photographers for those unlikely but unfortunate case when a photographer cannot shoot due to injuries or (we hate to say it) death.

So in summary, shop ahead, don’t procrastinate, book early and do your research before you hand over any money. It is well worth the price and the peace of mind that you will get from doing so.

If you are interested in our services, please contact us and let us know how we can help make your wedding planning early.

We recently photographed a beautiful wedding at a beautiful location. White Deer Run is a reception hall and country club that is on one of Greg Norman’s golf courses. We love photographing weddings at White Deer Run because of the beautiful outdoor scenery. They make for great shots! The indoor rooms are also very beautiful with lots of windows overlooking the beautiful golf course. It makes for a perfect spot to say your vows in front of.

Here are some pictures of Diane & Walter’s wedding so you can check it out if you are considering having your wedding at this particular hall. The wedding took place on June 6th 2009,

Wow we just did an amazing Halloween wedding this past Halloween. It is the most unique wedding we have seen this year. Even our photographers arrived in costume as the paparazzi. It is amazing that Anna and Jeff were able to pull it off. It is both haunting and in it’s own way…romantic. They had a fun wedding and stayed true to themselves. This was definitely not a cookie-cutter wedding. Everything from the guest wedding favors to the table settings to their bridal outfits came together in an awesome way. Way to go Anna and Jeff.

The reception was held at Chateau Ritz in Niles, IL. We have seen many weddings at Chateau Ritz and we have never seen the room decked out like this! We are posting these photographs so you other Chicago area brides and grooms can see how clever these two were!
