I cannot recommend Emily enough! I was looking for a photographer that was willing to work with me…read morefor a surprise proposal that I had planned. I researched other photographers and spoke to a handful, but from the start Emily was professional but also fun and extremely easy to work with. I shared my ideas with her and as the day drew closer she realized that due to the season or time of the day, some of the shots would probably not work out. She had a ton of great suggestions that were even better than what I had planned. Emily got some great candid shots of me proposing to my girlfriend, and then we went on a photo shoot around Chicago. After the proposal Emily was great at making sure that we stuck to our schedule, checking and giving us suggestions to make sure the photos looked well, and capturing great light and backgrounds across the city. Emily got us our photos really quickly, and we were blown away by how great they ALL were. We've been very happy and proud to show off our proposal photos, and everyone has loved them. I can honestly say that my proposal would not have turned out as great as it did without Emily! Thanks Emily!!

I'm fairly disappointed with my experience here. It has also made me decide I probably will take my…read moreown photos of my kid, rather than continuing to pay anyone. What's included in the package is made unclear, so I never got what I expected. In addition, during the shoot he said that he could take my arm out if I had it on my kiddo and when I reminded him of this later, he said that was considered a complex edit and would cost money but they'd do it complmenetary that time. Had he told me this at the time of the shoot, we would have done something differently to get photos without me there in the background. Not cool.

Miguel came to my parents' house and took photos in their backyard. He got pictures of my parents together, with each of us kids, with our own families, and with all the grandkids too. Miguel was super professional, friendly, and easy to work with. He made everyone feel comfortable and was really flexible with what we wanted. We just got the photos back and my whole family was really happy with how they turned out. Highly recommend him!

Turns out, it was an absolute gift to ME (also blew his mind). I left feeling more beautiful & empowered than ever, & that was BEFORE I saw the pictures. Cara is not only an exceptionally talented artist, but an exceptional person & brought out a side of self love in me I didn't know existed. Then, I got the pictures. Shy me turned into a supermodel (minimal retouching needed) Seriously, I could not believe it was me. I cherish the photos, & I went back two more times for pregnancy shoots which were just as amazing as the boudoir. Book this experience, whether introvert/extrovert, single, dating, engaged, pregnant, no matter your age, it is worth every single penny & more.

Her rave about creating her own book with Cara and how beautiful it made her feel inspired me to inquire myself. Cara carried me gently through the process of choosing the right concept and look for my book as a gift for my husband. But it was also a gift for myself. She assisted me with choosing the lingerie that suited me best and provided hair/make-up professionals. I felt so beautiful during our shoot, which was conducted so professionally. I always felt comfortable and in control of how I wanted to be presented. My husband was completely thrilled with the results and treasures the photos along with the idea that I stepped out of my comfort zone to produce something we will have forever. I can't recommend Cara and her skills and talents highly enough!

Mark Trela and his wife Magda photographed our wedding August 2019 at Garfield Park Conservatory…read more When I say they exceeded every expectation of ours, I mean it. To be honest, the photographer was the only vendor I was picky about and as soon as I saw their wedding photography, I knew immediately that they had to be ours. I love the lighting and style of their work. They are incredibly talented and have an eye for what makes a good photo. I loved how their documentary style gave us a full story of that day. If that wasn't enough, Mark and Magda are incredibly kind and will put their whole heart into your day. They were present and attentive the whole time. When the events of the day were underway I didn't even notice them buzzing around snapping photos. They were also responsive before and after the wedding and worked well with our wedding planner when it came to scheduling, etc. We received the photos within a couple weeks of the wedding. They also helped us select photos for a leather-bound book (honestly, they did most of the selecting/formatting themselves which was wonderful - I'm a hands-off kind of bride). I've told Mark and Magda I want them to be our family photographer forever! I'm just so in love with their work and I don't want our wedding to be the last time we work with them. I can't recommend them enough and they'll be worth every single dollar you spend on them (something pretty uncommon in the wedding industry!!)

Mark & Magda photographed our June 2017 wedding and I could not have been happier with the entire…read moreexperience. From the very beginning, Mark was super easy to communicate with and he always responded promptly to the plethora of questions that I threw at him. At our initial meeting, he really took the time to understand what I was looking for in a photographer and what was important to me when photographing our wedding day. From looking through his blog, I knew immediately that his style of photography was exactly what we were looking for; candid, artsy, and a unique way of capturing light (this was huge for me). After we signed the contract with him, Mark was great about keeping in touch over the months leading up to the wedding to get all the specifics of the day and to check in to see if I had any questions. He always made himself available via email or phone if I needed advice for how to best set up our schedule for the day or even if I had silly freak out questions about worst-case weather scenarios (which he always put me at ease about). I really appreciated that Mark & Madga took a day ahead of time to scope out our church and reception venue. I told him it was very important that we incorporate the outdoors as much as we could, and he made sure to find some great potential locations for photos. On the day of, Mark and Magda were able to coordinate perfectly to ensure that both my husband and I would have pictures of us getting ready with our bridal parties. They are both so personable and fun that they quickly put me at ease and really blended into the background to get all of these amazing candid shots throughout the morning. The ceremony went flawlessly and they coordinated group family shots with ease. I think that my favorite thing about working with Mark and Magda was how enthusiastic they were about taking amazing photographs. They went out of their way to convince an owner of a private barn to let us take pictures on his property and I couldn't help but really get into the photo session as Mark was so excited about the location and the light filtering into the barn. The photos from our cocktail hour were such a pleasant surprise to look at after the wedding as I barely even noticed them mingling in the groups to snag some amazing candid photos of all our friends and family. Mark was able to coordinate the timing perfectly at our reception to sneak us outside right after dinner to get these amazing golden hour pictures on the beach. I highly highly recommend Mark Trela as a Wedding Photographer. He is a true professional, a super great guy to have around on your big day, and he creates absolutely stunning photographs.
