I simply love Josh and Melissa and all they represent with Continuum Photography. They did an…read moreabsolutely out-of-this-world job photographing my wedding in Chicago and if there were a wedding A-team assembled, the'yd have been the captains. Here's the thing. I was doing a pretty small wedding (65 people) in a pretty low key format (dinner party at a restaurant, very casual ceremony) and I was trying to keep things pretty mellow. I've been admiring the work of Josh and Melissa for several years (they used to be based in Chicago) -- so when I did a quick check into working with them, it all seemed to align perfectly. They were available my weekend, like to travel back to Chicago (and know great places to take photos after doing many weddings/engagement sessions!) and were so on top of every step of the process. We booked them a room within our room block and some airplane tickets...and we were set to go after filling out a few preliminary forms and schedules. (I told you, VERY on top of things and they forsee any issues before they actually happen, huzzah!) I was worried about one thing though: My anti-photographic soon-to-be husband. He hates smiling for photos. I didn't even get engagement photos because I didn't want to deal with him...so this whole thing made me a bit nervous. To the rescue: The documentary-like style of Continuum (just check their site/blog). Seriously, we barely knew they were even there throughout the day and evening. They caught so many sweet, special, cool, unique moments...not a forced smile in the house! So many guests commented on how wonderful they were. Perhaps because they made everyone look so fabulous and normal? Probably, but mostly I think they are just very easy to be around and very professional and non-intrusive. They were always punctual, on schedule, highly communicative, fun and personable. Even during our ride around town for a photos beforehand, everything was really laid back, and pretty natural (hard to pull off with poses!). The key moment? Nick saying "Oh really, we are done with these? I have so many more places I want to take pictures!" Miraculous, I kid you not. They are very good about getting everyone to just enjoy themselves and behave naturally --- catching them in the best light, normalcy and festive fun. Family photos: I hate these. I didn't even want to do them. Luckily Josh moved through these like a ninja. He even reminded my aunt (several times) not to interfere with her flashing and that we would share all the photos with everyone from his professional lens that they could download for free. (and he did, quickly!). They'll have you make a list of all the shots, Melissa will round people up (and make sure they don't pair anyone uncomfortably --- stepwives, exes, ask for dead grandfathers to join, etc), Josh will snap them and you'll be on your way to the party before you know it! We had the galleries within a few weeks and the discs a week after that. He made galleries for both free downloads (with small watermark, lower quality -- for people to use as profile photos, etc) and then a hi-res gallery to purchase. We ended up liking them so much we ordered tons for our families for Christmas and used one for our Christmas card. We haven't even gotten to our photobook yet (we will) - Melissa is great at putting them together. We will also order more prints for our own use at home...but the reception on the photos has been fantastic. Everyone adores them, including us...and I can be very critical of photos, especially when I am in them! All in all, Continuum was tied with Birchwood Kitchen for my favorite people to work with on this wedding. One provided beautiful evidence and memories and the other sustenance and service, so they both get first place in my book. I cannot recommend them highly enough and they even far surpassed our expectations as to what photographers can add to a wedding. Worth every single penny and more. If you need a photographer, send them an email...and tell them Colleen C sent you!

Sure, you can hire a photographer just because of their price. You could hire them because you like…read morethis one picture they took in the one place that you'll never be at. Why not consider hiring photographers who are incredibly personable, are easy to work with, provide a great deal of care and moderate amounts of wit to what they do? Most importantly, you should really consider hiring Josh and Melissa because the quality of their pictures never wavers from picture 1 to picture 1,001. You may be able to save $1 or 2 somewhere else but don't. They're worth the investment and they're worth getting to know and having them a part of your once-in-a-lifetime event. Plus, it's a lot of fun to gloat about how great your photos turned out and how great the people were who took the pictures after your big day is over! If you only do this once, you might as well do it right the first time. Right? Right. As someone who's more than familiar with photography on his own, it's easy to spot the fakers from those who love what they do, who they meet and the results they're committed to providing. Continuum will leave you wondering why you even considered any other photographers. It's your big day. Don't say photography is "too expensive" because it's better to look back and gleam at how you looked and how well they captured the day than asking yourself if the brownies were good.

Prior to the shoot, they sent a shot list, which gave me their ideas for shots, along with a prop list. Most of them we really liked. For the others that didn't quite capture what we wanted, we let them know, and we collaborated until the shots worked for us. The shots were great, and were what we expected. So creative. The shoot was on time, and the pictures were emailed to us quickly. Excellent communication, excellent follow-up, and excellent product. We had a great experience with them and look forward to working with them as our business expands.

I hired their team to create video content for Chosen Foods (a multi-national health food company) and their work has been nothing short of magic. I literally jumped up and down when I received the first video they produced for us - it was brilliant! The turnaround time was astounding and the final product was perfection. It was then that we decided to work with them (and only them) for all video production moving forward. Kirk is a genius behind the camera, Alexis is a master at styling and photography, and Todd is the ultimate assistant and sound guy. They're truly a gifted team. I have always felt completely comfortable giving them a great deal of creative freedom because the result is always wildly impressive and perfectly on brand. If you need a team to creatively portray your brand in a way that is both professional and visually stunning - hire these guys. They continue to blow us all away and make our brand look so much cooler online.

We were not pleased with the photography company our son's school selected for senior portraits;…read morethe photo quality was disappointing, they did not offer digital photos, nor were they available for retakes before the yearbook deadline. I contacted MG Portraits on a Sunday and they responded as soon as they opened on Monday morning. Carlos was very empathetic and fit us in that same day during what I'm sure is a hectic production week right before the holidays. Carlos was very professional and the quality of the photos was exceptional. The whole process was very efficient; from check-in/ setup to proofing and ordering, we spent about 90 minutes. We received our digital prints on the spot with time to spare before the yearbook deadline. Further, they offer a variety of packages, including digital prints, with competitive, fair pricing. I highly recommend MG Portraits and would use them again; we will be recommending them to our son's high school for future classes.

Myro did a fantastic job getting photos of all our guests during the cocktail hour. We had several guests compliment how friendly he was and how many people he captured. In the background leading up to our wedding day, the True Photography team helped put a photography timeline that aligned with our wedding coordinator's timeline. This helped ensure we got all the photos needed included first looks, couple's portraits, family portraits, etc. No special moment was missed by the team throughout the wedding. From first looks to dancing at the end of the night, we the full story of our wedding day captured!

True team helped us create a thorough timeline while offering suggestions/clarification so we knew what to expect and see the vision! Alex, Sheryl, and Dillan were assigned as our wedding day True team! Alex kept us on track with getting important photos and staying within the timeline. Alex was clear on posing directions and had such a calm demeanor/communication style that helped me feel reassured. Sheryl was our second photographer who captured the best candids and fun moments (e.g. one of the groomsmen had his shirt off and I didn't know until we saw the photos! HAHA). Dillan was here, there, and everywhere to get the best angles for our first dance, games, and guest reactions. Looking at our photos, I'm floored with how beautiful they turned out! The wedding day came and went like a flash, but now we have sooo many photos to remind us of the happy and heartwarming moments from that day. Excited to see how the videos turn out! Highly recommend considering True Photography & Video!

They captured EVERYTHING, and somehow we still cry every single time we watch it. They were so friendly and warm from the beginning and made the whole experience fun. Everything felt really natural, and we never felt awkward in front of the camera. They also sent us little highlight teasers along the way, which I loved! They asked me what my vision was and if I had any ideas, but I honestly trusted them with it. I've watched so many of their videos, and every one feels different and personal to the couple. Ours really feels like us. They captured so many moments from the day, including little things we didn't even get to see ourselves. The final video was exactly what we wanted and even more. I truly cannot recommend them enough. Your wedding day goes by so fast, and having a video that brings you right back to those moments is something so special. We're beyond thankful we chose them to capture our day. They gave us something we'll get to watch, cry over, laugh at, and hold onto for the rest of our lives.
