We had Andy and his team do our wedding day photography, and have only positive things to say about…read morethem! Photography was a priority for us, but not something we wanted to spend over the top for, and Andrew's package options fit the bill for us. For a reasonable cost, we got a team of four that came to our hotel, spend two hours riding around downtown with us for wedding party shots, and then did a great job of capturing the venue, ceremony moments, and key parts of the reception. Having four people working our event really made a difference because we came away with lots of shots of the two of us without sacrificing getting all the other stuff - cocktail hour, people arriving, people at dinner, couples dancing, etc. Andy and the guys also did a great job of getting ceremonial moments from lots of different angles so we have a ton of shots to choose from. During the wedding party shots in the afternoon, Andy and the guys dealt well with little hiccups that come along when you try to get around downtown Chicago with a limo and make pictures work. They were creative, fun, and good at getting candids even while we were walking to and from the limo. Basically, I would recommend Andrew Collings Photography for a wedding for sure. They were fun to work with, professional, and the end product was amazing. I know my mother is biased, but she is spot on when she says lots of our photos look like they belong in a magazine!

It is easy to schedule online or the phone, the process utilizes technology well for communication, review and downloads, combined with prompt personal service. So much preparation goes into high quality pictures, including types of cameras, level of lighting, composition and helping make the people feel comfortable.

We highly recommend Andrew Collings Photography for high quality images that capture the spirit of the individual and team.

HIGHLY recommended! I had an absolutely amazing experience with Emily…read more As a photographer myself, I am INCREDIBLY picky when it comes to photographers and photography, and Emily's work definitely stood out to me. There were countless other photographers I had looked at in the area, that all had subpar quality, forced poses, and all-out disappointing portfolios (and the vast majority were much more expensive). Even before the shoot, Emily was a dream to work with. She was great at providing reminders, suggestions, and recommendations for preparation, that really helped everything come together on the day of the session. As far as the session itself, Emily went out of her way to make everything completely seamless - from the hair and makeup to the actual shoot, it was a fun, laidback environment. She was flexible with me on some of the outfits I had trouble deciding between, and ended up allowing me to sneak a few looks in. At no point did I feel uncomfortable or awkward, which was unexpected given I am usually on the other end of the camera when it comes to photography. Historically, posing and serious facial expressions were something I had always struggled with while being photographed, but Emily does an amazing job at guiding you to capture the perfect shot. I was in awe of her passion, and that passion truly translated to the shoot and the end product. All-around it was an amazing, worthwhile experience, and I am beyond happy with the outcome. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a well-priced, high-quality photographer that is fun and motivating to work with!

It felt out of my comfort zone, something I had never done before. But after hearing from friends that I might regret not capturing this moment, I decided to start searching for a photographer. I came across many different artists online, but Sri's portfolio immediately stood out. His photography style is artistic, natural, and unique--nothing felt overly posed or awkward. I was already approaching my third trimester, so time was limited. Thankfully, Sri responded quickly and guided me through the entire process. He explained what to bring, what to expect, and assured me that most of the wardrobe and accessories would be available at the studio. We scheduled the shoot two weeks later with Sri and his talented makeup artist, Laura. When I arrived, I was nervous and unsure, but those feelings quickly disappeared. Both Sri and Laura made me feel completely at ease. Laura styled my hair into soft waves and gave my skin a beautiful, radiant glow, while Sri patiently walked me through the session step-by-step. Sri has an incredible eye for detail and a clear passion for his craft. He was attentive, energetic, and never rushed the process. Even when I needed time to find the right pose, he remained patient and encouraging, always focused on capturing the perfect shot. The final photos exceeded all my expectations--they are stunning and filled with emotion. I'm so grateful I stepped out of my comfort zone and trusted Sri with this experience. He even made sure I had a beautifully edited photo ready in time for my baby shower just one week later. This photoshoot has become one of the most meaningful memories of my pregnancy, and I wholeheartedly recommend Sri to anyone looking for a photographer. He not only incredibly talented but also kind, professional, and deeply passionate about what he does.

She hadn't planned on doing a shoot for herself and I wanted to make sure she had something beautiful to look back on to remember the moment. It was important to find someone who would make her feel comfortable while also delivering truly stunning maternity pictures-- and Sri exceeded all expectations. From my first call with him, Sri was warm, professional, and incredibly straightforward about pricing, deliverables, and the entire process. He made everything seamless, even arranging hair and makeup. When I introduced Sri to my sister, he was just as kind and reassuring, which instantly put her at ease. The maternity photo shoot itself was an amazing experience. Sri's studio is in a great location and offers the privacy that was important for my sister to feel relaxed. Throughout the session, Sri brought great energy and took the time to understand how my sister wanted to see herself in the photos. His expertise in artistic photography really came through-- his use of light is masterful, creating simple yet powerful images that perfectly capture this special moment. I found Sri by searching online for photographers in Chicago, and I'm so grateful I did. If you're looking for a talented, professional, and thoughtful Chicago maternity photographer, Sri is the one to book!

We are so happy we found Christopher F. Photography. He is a brilliant Chicago wedding photographer…read morewho captured our day beautifully. We didn't hire a wedding planner, so we researched photographer by checking out notable wedding blogs and Yelp. His previous reviews are spot on. Christopher is extremely talented and really listens to his clients. He is passionate about what he does and is able to tell a story through his photographs. It was overwhelming trying to find a wedding photographer with his talent at and affordable price range; however he was just what we were looking for! Not many photographers can capture the city as well as Christopher. Just take a look at his portfolio and you will see gorgeous scenes from this beautiful city.

We wanted a photographer there to capture pictures of us and our children. As a result, we only needed a photographer for about an hour on a Saturday afternoon. I contacted Christopher via email on September 20 and explained our situation, and he said he was available for our October 20 date. Christopher sent us his contract via email. After that, I tried to contact him several times to follow up both via email and phone. I left several voicemail messages in the ensuing weeks, but he never returned any of the phone calls. Plus, time was running out to find someone new. Our wedding is in less than a week and Christopher is MIA. We can't find a replacement. Horrible! Thanks a lot Christopher! Maybe some day you will get around to reading these reviews and realize how badly you dropped the ball and let us down. If you couldn't do the job you set out to do, then you should have notified us ASAP so that we could make alternative arrangements.

Wedding Event Review…read more I found Mio Forte on Yelp, and was very thankful that we did! We are very happy with our experience with Jorge (owner of Mio Forte). He was very responsive, punctual, professional, and captured some amazing moments from our wedding. Package: We picked the "Il Tipico (The Typical)" package and added the cinematography ad-on (3-4 minute video summary of the wedding). The package covered 6 hours of continuous photography throughout the wedding. Photos: We had a few typical wedding "poses" prior and after the ceremony. However, my favorite photos are the photojournalistic ones that captured real moments. Video summary: The video summary was so amazing! Jorge took some wonderful video clips throughout the wedding day, and put it together into a cool video for us. We preferred this to hiring a full videography since we did not want to watch 5 hours of footage LOL. Thank you, Jorge, for capturing our special day!

If I had a nickel for every compliment I have received on our engagement photos or our wedding sneak peek photos (which she got to us in just a few days!), I feel like I'd come close to covering the cost of our wedding. In addition to complimenting our photos, our friends and family also complimented the photography/videography team for their respectful approach in capturing the day without barking out orders and directions as I'm sure everyone has witnessed at one wedding or another. Throughout the planning process, Alysia was always available via text, phone call, or email answering questions and offering expert recommendations, providing me reassurance that we were in good hands for the big day. We loved Alysia's guidance throughout the process, her respectful command of our group day-of, and her comfortable direction of us during our (free) engagement shoot and wedding day, not to mention the beautifully edited photos! Alysia met all of our expectations and more and we would recommend her to all of our family and friends. We might have to throw another wedding just to have her capture it again!
