We had an appointment at 9:00 am and it's currently 2:22 pm. Now mind you, we had chores and things to do around the house, so the fact that they were here at 9 wasn't a problem but show up at some point!! And by no means yell at me when I question your scheduling capabilities not to mention you lied and said you were the owner when the other day you said you were just the scheduler. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY JUST FOR THE SHEER FACT OF THE SNOWFLAKE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PHONE!! DO BUSINESS BETTER!!

Wonderful photography, great people…read more We met Joe at Indie Wed a few years ago and immediately knew Couple of Dudes were the photographers for us. He and Lawrence have fun, easygoing personalities - which makes taking photos so much easier. They're calming, awesome to hang out with. Joe and Lawrence had an incredible ability to capture our personalities perfectly. My wife and I aren't great at relaxing or being the centers of attention. But with COD everything seems natural. They were able to make us feel loose, feel natural - which is so important in wedding photography. As businessmen, they're very easy to work with. They were responsive to our concerns. They had wonderful suggestions to fit our personalities, easy to get a hold of, easy to talk to. We also recommend signing up for the grin shack! My wife and I weren't sure if we wanted it/how many people would participate. The Grin Shack was one of the highlights from the night. We can't imagine having the wedding without it.

Marius and Raluca are patient and creative, and easily come up with ideas on how to work with our sometimes non-cooperative kids! And he always manages to get the really great shots. As much as we think we can capture life through our mobile phone cameras, it's these kind of professional photos that we print up and frame to see every day. It really is worth it.

He does movie stills, catalog work, studio and documentary. To be able to get talent like his for a wedding is rare. Some friends (Dante & Lisa) had him as a photographer and the photos they were presented with were astounding. RANT: (((I have some other friends who hired a "bargain" photographer who must have had ultra sharpening turned up to 11 -- everyone looked wrinkled -- plus that guy just dumped 5000 unedited and unretouched photos online for everyone to sift through.))) END RANT Matt edits and retouches the final shots. He puts real work into his photography and he has a REAL EYE and 25 years of experience (he did my sister's wedding 16 years ago-- but that was back in the days of TriX & Proof Sheets)

But years later, we have no wedding album and not a single professional wedding photo in a frame to show for it. He is impossible to motivate, and he would often drop off the radar for months at a time as we tried to reach him. He always had plenty of excuses when he finally resurfaced. DO NOT hire him if you actually want to end up with pictures of your special event.

Not only was he a pleasure to work with, he has an artistic eye that can spot a great photo opportunity where you wouldn't expect it. He has extremely reasonable prices when compared with others in the industry, he takes great photos, he even brought a backdrop for formal photos at our reception, he worked his ass off from 9:00AM - 11:00PM, and best of all, he gives you the digital copies for no extra charges! If you are in the market for a wedding photographer in the Chicago land area, look no further!

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.

Finding a Chicago wedding photographer is a difficult task with so many options in this city!…read moreLuckily, I stumbled upon Christopher's photos on the JuneBug Wedding Blog while researching Chicago photographers. We love his style - bold and bright colors with our beautiful city as the background. He captures candid photos as well as comfortable posed shots. His prices are affordable compared to many photographers in the city. I believe the investment is worth it. The turnaround with the wedding photos was quick. He replied to our questions right away and was extremely professional and authentic. Wedding photographers are definitely a difficult task to find in the city of Chicago...I'm so grateful we were able to have Christopher photograph our engagement and wedding!

I cannot say enough positive things about Wedding Creativo! For those of you who prefer bullet…read morepoints, here you go: - Beautiful photography. Not only will you get "traditional" wedding shots, but Giorgio and Sarah have a unique aesthetic, and you will also receive creative, arty shots that are edgy and cool and quite stunning. - Amazing customer service. Sarah was such a valuable resource while we were planning the wedding; she went out of her way to provide tons of information about various vendors and was great at answering my questions, providing useful advice, and just generally being very supportive. Sarah seriously provided SO much more than I expected from a photographer. - Outstanding value. The best thing about Wedding Creativo's pricing is you are not forced to purchase a package with a bunch of extras you don't need or want - you can get the bare minimum and then add on as you please. Here is our story: We just had our wedding, so we haven't received our full set of pictures back (I'll make sure to update this review when we do), but you only need to look online to know that they do a terrific job. Giorgio's photos are literally award-winning, and Wedding Creativo's work is unique, funky, and beautiful. Giorgio is a true artist, and is clearly passionate about what he does. He has a wonderful eye, and his pictures are gorgeous. Sarah is FANTASTIC - I cannot say enough about her. She went WAY above and beyond the call of duty - whenever I emailed her with a question, she would reply promptly, with thoughtful and well-researched responses. Because she was so knowledgeable and helpful, we ended up corresponding fairly regularly, and she really provided some excellent advice and insight. I am so grateful to her for all of her help - she was really amazing! Even though we haven't seen our pictures yet, I am beyond thrilled with all of the work and effort that she put into our big day!! We took our portraits hours before our ceremony so we got to hang out with Sarah and Giorgio for a bit before our wedding, and it was so much fun. They really put us at ease, and I was so much more comfortable and relaxed before the ceremony. We also added on a Polaroid package to our reception, and this retro touch was a big hit. We considered lots of different options (i.e. photo booths, flip books) for the reception, and not only was the Polaroid station the most affordable, but we also got to keep one of the cameras! If you are looking for a unique reception activity Polaroids are a great option, and if you want beautiful photos and amazing service, Giorgio and Sarah are the absolute best!!!

He was…read morethere when we got engaged and took fantastic engagement pictures and we knew we wanted to use him for our wedding. Will was great at communicating with us throughout the wedding process. He had a few meetings with us to figure out what style of pictures we were most interested in and to come up with a timeline/ locations for bridal party pictures around the city. On our wedding day, he was extremely organized and had a team of photographers organized to capture every shot we wanted. He had great ideas for pictures downtown and in Lincoln Park. The day after the wedding, he gave us about 15 amazing shots to give us a taste of what was yet to come! Will is a really great guy and was so easy to get along with. Being the bride, I figured I wanted my photographer to have a great personality since I knew I would be hanging out with him all day! Overall, we had an absolutely incredible experience and I know we will use Will in the future!

While shooting my pictures he had so many awesome ideas that I wouldn't have ever came up with. And not to mention that he is also an awesome guy in general!
