There are no words to describe the beauty of Delack's work. We ran across them about a year ago…read morethrough a friend's facebook post of their wedding trailer by Delack. Since that moment, after we watched every single one of their trailers on their website while drowning in tears, we KNEW without a doubt who we wanted to document our wedding! This was before we were even engaged! Once my husband did propose, our first call was to Nathan to check their availability. We based our date on their openings! Somehow, our favorite venue was available on the same day. We immediately booked and planned the wedding in 6 months. We were anxious to start working with Nathan, so we decided to do a "save the date" trailer to send out to our guests. WIthin a week or 2, we were shooting all around the city and having an amazing time with Nathan and his crew. The video was done in just a few days and it turned out better than our already high expectations! We put it on our website and sent it out via email. Our friends and family were sending it to others and everyone was talking about how amazing it was! It certainly gave our guests the feeling of something to look forward to! Our wedding day quickly arrived, and the anticipation for our "same day edit" was intensifying! Our guests did not know that a same day edit was taking place. After the first dance and speeches, my husband and I introduced the video. It was absolutely incredible. The entire room was in tears, and it was so amazing to see the day that had so quickly passed us by, captured in such a beautiful way. The crew was working diligently the entire day and even though it was done so quickly, it looked like something that took weeks to create! From the music, to the hollywood angles, flawless execution, and emotion in every scene, we couldn't have been more pleased with the results. We cannot wait to see the full video that Nathan and his crew at Delack have created for us. He has kept us updated and we hear it is just about finished. They work so hard and quickly...very professional as well!! Video of your wedding is the most incredible way to remember your day. But the way Delack captures every special moment and puts it together will without a doubt leave you speechless.

We used Delack Media Group to document our 9/28 wedding and had a wonderful experience! We just…read morereceived our video trailer (only 11 days after our wedding!) and it is absolutely beautiful. I came across one of his trailers on Facebook before my now-husband and I even got engaged! His work was so beautiful that it reduced me to tears (and I didn't even personally know the bride and groom!); I knew right away that Nathan (the owner and lead videographer) was a special talent and that I wanted to work with him. From our first contact, Nathan was extremely pleasant, professional, and responsive! I'm a little on the OCD side, so I loved how thorough he was and his amazing attention to detail. What's even better? On our wedding day, he and his team were so unobtrusive that we didn't even notice they were there! His rates are fairly expensive, but it's definitely some of the best money we spent. We cant wait to see our full film!

AHOJ Productions is a media production company specializing in high-definition commercial and…read moreindustrial video and narrative and documentary filmmaking. However, they also convert "ancient" home movies to DVD and more "modern" VHS home movies to DVD. This company was recommended to me by an instructor at Oakton College after I had contacted the college to see if there were any classes that would be interested in converting my 50+ year old 8 mm films into DVD. She told me about this company and gave me their email address. I contacted them and received a prompt reply. I had stated that I didn't drive and lived in Des Plaines, and Steve (one of the owners) told me it was no problem - he could come to me as he's in the area once in awhile. Okay - let's cut to the chase. We set up a date and time a week hence. When he got to my house, we immediately hit it off. He's very personable and easy to talk to. We talked about the films I had, he looked them over, and quoted a price which I thought was extremely reasonable. So, I turned over the nine films, he refused a down payment and said he'd collect when he returned the films and, 10 days later, I had my DVD. He stayed to watch it with me to make sure I was happy with it - and I absolutely was. He had even attempted to put the films in some sort of chronological order (my mother hadn't dated them, just noted who was on each roll of film) and did a pretty good job. I had asked for three extra copies of the DVD for my kids, which he had done. I wrote him a check and assured him I would absolutely recommend AHOJ Productions. So here I am on Yelp doing just that.

Kroto's photographs are beautiful. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this photographer…read more I'd been a fan of her work for a decade before hiring her to be my wedding photographer. Planning for the wedding, her communication was excellent (quick to respond, available when she said she would be, helpful). The day of the wedding, she did a great job- exactly as contracted. Unfortunately, post wedding, her professionalism was nonexistent. We received one email three months after the wedding and had every email and phone call ignored. Two weeks after the wedding, I wrote her an email inquiring on the possibility of a few early-release photos for thank you cards, but also told her I didn't expect them and just wanted to know if it was a possibility. No reply. Four weeks after the wedding I followed up with my inquiry just to see if we should wait or order our thank yous instead of wait for photos. No response. Two months after the wedding, with still no communication, I called and left her a voicemail asking her to get in touch with us. No response. Almost 3 months after the wedding, early October- still no word and we were actively checking obituaries in case something had happened to her and we weren't aware. At this point, I posted a FB post stating how upsetting it was to be worried - would we even get our photos? Should we be looking into legal back up? We were just at a complete loss. Within a few hours of the post, she sent us an email that apologized for the lack of communication, said she had been sick, and would have the rest of our photos within a week (there were about 120 photos uploaded to our gallery at that time). I thanked her right away via email. We checked our gallery every few days and had no new photos. Around two weeks later, I sent her an email requesting an updated timeline. No response. Finally, almost four months after the wedding, I sent her email asking her why she refused to meet the bare minimum professionalism of at least responding to us. No response, although not a surprise at this point. We finally noticed our photos were available in late November. Most of the photos are gorgeous. A few of them have poor editing (for example, the veil was being held up by someone, so she removed the person but the veil still looked like it was obviously being held up just by an invisible ghost). Still, most of the photos are phenomenal. According to our contract, we were supposed to receive a flash drive with the photos on them. I sent her an email inquiring about how we would receive the flash drive (will she mail it, should I pick it up, etc). Unsurprisingly, she never responded and we still do not have our flash drive. I wish I could say I am still a fan. I wish I could say that the quality of her work was worth the frustration and upset we felt post wedding. Unfortunately, professionalism is just as important as quality of work.

We hired Korto Photography for my rehearsal dinner and wedding March 2022. The photos are…read moreabsolutely beautiful and amazing quality! I wanted a lot of specific "city" shots that included the background and they were amazing! It rained on the day of the wedding and her team did an incredible job with efficiency in the rain, keeping me dry, staying positive (and keeping me positive), and being down to continue to take the shots I cared about the most outside - and still making them absolutely beautiful! I have a huge family and 24 groomsman/bridesmaids and they managed to capture great moments with all of them in a quick enough way we could still enjoy our day. We also took really fun night photos in the city that are amazing. Our details photos are AMAZING and they were so creative and incorporating different pieces and arranging them beautifully. Also did a great job capturing the setting so that we can look back on our venue and have those memories forever. Renata was with the groomsman in the morning and the boys LOVED her and had so much fun taking photos, which I think says a lot! I am not super comfortable in front of the camera but Alison did a great job making it fun for me and calming my nerves down, and cuing me to get some great moments. You spend ALOT of time with your photographer your wedding day, and having her by my side made the day better, calmer, and more fun.
