Julie was incredibly fun and easy to work with - and we can't get over how beautiful the photos are.

The turnaround time for the photos was very quick, the price was great, and Julie was a pleasure to work with (for us and the kids). We are so grateful to now have amazing photos that we will treasure forever. Thanks Julie!

Choosing our wedding photographer was one of the most important decisions we made for our big day,…read moreand we could not be happier with our choice! From the very beginning, Michelle was incredibly responsive and a joy to work with. She made the entire process so easy, always answering our questions quickly and following up with us to make sure we were on the same page. On the wedding day, Michelle was a true professional. She arrived early and was able to effortlessly handle the chaos of a large wedding party. Her ability to quickly and efficiently organize our family and friends for group photos was truly impressive, saving us so much time and stress. The final images are absolutely outstanding. The quality is breathtaking, and Michelle captured every single moment we could have wanted, and then some. We were amazed at how many beautiful photos we received; there were more than enough to perfectly tell the story of our day. Additionally, she captured unexpected (but flattering) moments of people in their natural states without anyone knowing it was being done! We are so grateful to have such incredible photos to remember our wedding by. Thank you for everything!

When my now husband and I began looking for a wedding photographer, we weren't sure where to start…read more Luckily, we discovered Michelle Lytle Photography because Michelle is a co-owner of the wedding venue we chose. We loved Michelle's photography style as we explored her website as she offers a mix of traditional posed photographs as well as unique perspectives. She described her approach as photo-journalistic. Michelle was able to work with us to find a package that fit our budget and captured the images we would cherish. On the day of the wedding, we met Michelle at the Lytle House (where we were dropping some items off) and she traveled with us by train to Loyola University Chicago to capture some photos of the two of us before heading back to the venue for family photos before the ceremony. At Loyola, we ran into an issue with one of our boutonnieres and -after catching the moment for posterity- Michelle helped us get it properly situated. We only spent about 20 minutes at Loyola, but Michelle was able to capture us in various poses, with a variety of backdrops as well as candid moments walking to and riding the train. We had about 30 minutes set aside for family photos and Michelle moved everyone around with a gentle command to capture all of the posed photos we listed in advance and some we hadn't thought of. Although our ceremony and reception were all in one location, Michelle expertly captured us from different angles and with different backgrounds to differentiate each moment. After family photos, Michelle took the two of us to a unique location under the 'L' tracks nearby to capture a few more couples shots. This served the dual purpose of getting us out of the venue as more guests arrived. During the ceremony, Michelle moved quickly and stealthy about capturing so many beautiful photos from various perspectives that when we received the photos later, it seemed like there must have been multiple photographers. After the ceremony, we had requested a photo of us with all of our friends and family, again Michelle was able to gently usher everyone together to capture a big group shot. After that, Michelle captured candid shots of our guests mingling, the table settings, and food truck set-up. Since we had only booked Michelle through cocktail hour, she found a moment as she wrapped up to congratulate us before ducking out. Michelle captured all of the key moments of the ceremony and cocktail hour but also had a deft eye for subtle details. For example, she snapped a close-up photo of the anklet my mother was wearing, which happened to be a gift my grandfather had given to my grandmother. It was small moments like these that brought a flood of emotions as we reviewed the photos online about 2.5 weeks after the ceremony. Michelle also sent a preview of her favorite shot the morning after the wedding, which was a great surprise on the way to our honeymoon. All of the photographs Michelle captured were processed beautifully in black and white and color and provided to us in an online gallery that is available to us forever. Michelle offers options to purchase photo books or prints, but also allows a limited number of downloads so you can do what you wish with the photos. Michelle was wonderful to work with and the images she captured will be treasured forever. The only "regret" we have is that we decided to save some money in our budget by not booking her through our entire reception, which is the only thing we would do differently. We highly recommend Michelle for all of your photographic needs.

It was so refreshing to work with someone who was able to get so many great images without making us do cheesy poses all day long.

He spoke to…read moreHeather twice on the phone and traded several emails - she was always professional but on top of that gave great advice on how to make sure we were in the correct positions and other small things that I might not have thought of otherwise. Most importantly, the shots she took came out looking just like the samples you can see on her website. We hired her to capture the proposal, which means that the most important photos aren't posed and have to be taken quickly - and she nailed the key shot perfectly. We particularly loved that she was able to get us a few of the photos within a couple of hours to show to our friends and family while we were still celebrating. Would definitely recommend Heather.

We had been to a lot of weddings. We'd seen photographers stand in the aisle, make family members…read morewait for hours to take one or two group shots, and interrupt the party. We'd seen photos come out grainy, low-contrast and with hideous logos and watermarks stamped over top. So when we started looking for our wedding photographer, we knew what we didn't want. It seemed like an impossible task to find the right person... but, as it turns out, Justine was the first vendor we booked. While we were impressed with her portfolio, it was Justine's desire to actually get to know us as a couple (beyond wedding details) that sealed the deal. We talked about her process and pricing, but also our shared love of food and exploring. It made the entire process so much more personal and enjoyable, and I honestly believe the photos were better because of it. Justine worked with us to get everything we wanted (including engagement photos and a second shooter) within a reasonable budget. I was nervous about "posing" for our engagement photo session at the Bronx Zoo, but she made sure the day was comfortable, low key and laid-back. She gave us enough direction to not feel awkward, but not so much that we looked posed. Justine was organized and responsive throughout the planning process and made sure we were on the same page with our shot list and timeline. She was also sensitive to our family dynamics and religious rituals, which was greatly appreciated. By our wedding day, Justine felt like an old friend. She was a calming, unobtrusive presence on an otherwise overwhelming and emotional day. She had the patience of a saint during group photos with our extremely large, loud, distracted families. She managed to get so many great candid shots during the ceremony and dinner without our guests even noticing! During the party, Justine was on the edge of the dance floor with her camera, getting great shots but also genuinely enjoying and capturing the vibe of the party -- which we (and our friends) loved. Justine had photographed several weddings at our outdoor farm venue before (which was actually how we found her!), but she managed to infuse our photos with a unique flavor that really reflected the feeling of our day. We are over the moon with how they turned out!! On Justine's next trip to NYC a few months after our wedding, we grabbed dinner together. She clearly cares deeply about her clients and her work, and we are so glad we chose her.

Seriously INCREDIBLE. My fiance and I met with Justine for engagement photos this weekend. We…read moreimmediately felt at ease as she was warm and kind. Most importantly, she knew exactly what she was doing - she found the best spots for photos and guided us through poses. This was so helpful because we didn't have time to think or feel awkward about what we were doing - something I was nervous about before we met with Justine. Her turn around time was quicker than I expected and the outcome was just beautiful. I can't recommend Justine enough.
