Watching our wedding video brings back so many great memories! Franks attention to detail, patience, promptness & professionalism all played a huge role on our positive experience. In fact we admired his work so much that we also hired him as our videographer for our children's baptisms! Being Greek we had many "big fat" Greek occasions and Frank captured all the details on hand! His pricing was fair and the turnaround time for production was great as well. Everything was communicated from the initial contact. Whether it was an email (which I prefer) or a call, Frank always responded in a timely manner. I cannot say enough great things about Frank. We will continue using Franks services in the upcoming years ahead! Thank you, Frank.

They've had photos published in National Geographic for goodness sakes! Thank you Nels and Anna! We love you guys! Michael & Rebecca

As someone who watches the local news before bed, I've…read moreseen probably 500 different segments of "Problem Solvers" (or some variation) about a couple who paid a photographer thousands of dollars only to have them bail last minute, take crappy photos, or disappear forever after taking said photos. So naturally, since wedding photos were my #1 priority, I was basically a lunatic when it came to finding our photographer. A friend of ours is a former wedding planner and she recommend us to Christopher as someone who had helped her out in a pinch. We loved his website, but it all seemed to good to be true. It wasn't! After talking with him I couldn't have felt more at ease. I can't say we didn't put him through the ringer while "interviewing" with him, but I can say how absolutely THRILLED we are with our wedding photos. I jokingly tell everyone that I love my wedding photos more than I could ever love my husband (so far its not true, but only time will tell how that pans out..;) KIDDING). Christopher was awesome to work with. We are inherently awkward and unruly people, but Christoper did a great job of coaching us and capturing "real" photos. There isn't a photo in our collection that looks overly posed or unnatural (we worked out those kinks during our engagement shoot). In the end we received about 1400 edited, digital photos (I can't imagine how many he actually took!), and the count does not even include our engagement session. We had him all day from 9am to 10pm, and our package included a 2nd photographer. I also can't emphasis enough how easy it was to have Christopher around us all day, even in the limo as we cruised before the reception. Our friends were probably even too comfortable around him which explains some unusual groomsmen photos.. My best advice (obviously stolen from Christopher): 1. DO the engagement session. We wanted to bail on it, but I can't stress enough how much it helped to practice being in front of camera. I think it made our wedding photos a million times less awkward having been used to the camera being on us. 2. Hold your bouquet low as you walk down the aisle. I see so many photos (not done by Chris) where the bride is holding her bouquet by her chest and covering up that dress you just paid hundreds of dollars for. Also smile!! Maybe you are crying, or about to barf, but just smile.. that goofy look is what people call 'true love'. 3. Try to think about the photos that you actually WANT. I've been in so many weddings where I have to sit through 4 hours of photos while EVERYONE gets portraits done. Why do you want a picture of just you and your great aunt? Do you need a solo portrait of each bridesmaid? Who frames a solitary photo of themselves? Christopher was more than willing to take whatever photos we asked, but our family photos took 20 minutes tops. The group photos are the ones you are going to frame anyway. Cut the excess and get to your reception.. you should be partying right now! (Also make sure to sneak away for 15 minutes towards the end of your reception.. I mean have you SEEN his website? The man knows his way around a flash at night).

I will tell you a little story. 17 years ago I was looking for a photographer to take my senior…read moreportriats, but I only wanted black and white. I spent an entire summer calling around to photographers, and going to check out their work. After 3 months and dozens of photographers, most who would only do a portion in black and white, I found Kane Photography. Marie Kane had no problem with my request and the quality of her work was superior to any other photographer I had previously gone to. Since that time I have used Kane Photography for any of my photography needs. They did my senior pictures, my wedding, baby pictures for my oldest, and countless family portraits. In the last 17 years I have lived all over the world, and currently reside in Phoenix, Arizona. However, when it's time for pictures my family and I travel to Rockford, Illinois and go to Kane Photography. Matt, Marie, and Doreen have become like family to us, and no other photographer captures the beauty of life quite like they do. If your looking for a photographer who will truly capture your precious life moments, look no further than Kane. I promise you will not be disappointed.

Ryan photographed my band (tenmonthsummer) at our first show ever and to this day one of those photos is my computer background. Their pricing is extremely reasonable given how good the photos are. We didn't make any special requests for coloring or B&W because we trust Ryan's vision, but I'm sure they would be able to accommodate anything reasonable. With how good Ryan's photos turn out, we HAD to use them again for one of our biggest shows ever opening for national touring act from Australia, Trophy Eyes. In this review you can see some of their photos from that show. They speak for themselves. Mind you, Ryan is also a student and is balancing that life with their photography career, so for this show Ryan gave us a heads up that the full shot list would be a little longer, but still gave us a handful of amazing selects THE NEXT DAY so we had something for socials. Once again, I cannot speak higher of how professional and excellent Ryan's work and partnership are. We WILL be using Ryan again and I strongly recommend you take the leap if you haven't!
