This female photographer is Chicago-based and has an eye for capturing the best candid moments at any event. Devron is professional without getting in the way of your event, and delivers photos quickly after your event so you aren’t chasing her down later. I love working with Devron because she gets the vision and runs with it without me having to watch over her the whole night to be sure we get the shots we want. Most importantly, Devron knows how to work with the lighting to be sure your attendees all look great.

Eileen owns and operates a photography and events business in Chicago. As a woman of color, she understands how to light and photograph various skin tones, and that is something we appreciate immensely. Her photography is stellar at our large events - we don’t have to follow her to be sure she’s getting the shots we want and the images we get back are stunning. If you want your special moments captured, bring Eileen to do it!

Darrel is based in Detroit and brings an artistic eye and calming soul to every event. He is great with lighting and guiding people to where they need to be, and he delivers the event photos quickly after your event. When you want someone to capture the essence of your event, whether it’s smiles or tears or a combination of both, we recommend Darrel.

This Chicago-based business specializes in custom items for any event needs. They are featured in our swag section, but they also do printing - signs, and beyond - for your events. Send them your own designs or have them create a design for you - event signs small and large are available quickly and beautifully with ProForm. They work quickly and communicate well, so I highly recommend them!

Not only does this virtual event platform offers seamless registration and engaging event page options, but they also provide in-person support for your hybrid or live events as well! Create a multi-day/session event that starts out online and culminates in person, host a fundraiser with built-in video components, conduct a conference with multiple breakouts and exhibitor booths - you name it and you can do it with Connect Space. Great service, great staff, and a former event planner founded the company, so they really focus on what matters to YOU.
