From the…read moremoment we met, it was clear that she was not just there to take photos but to enhance our entire wedding experience.

Nicole is FABULOUS!!!!…read more A friend of a friend recommended her to me after I lamented about how poorly my newborn pictures had turned out (done by a different photographer.) I immediately contacted Nicole to schedule a 6 month photo shoot at her in-home studio. First - she's AMAZING working with the babies and was really able to capture my son's personality. Second - her in-home studio is beautiful and packed with props, costumes, etc. You literally just need to show up with your child - she will provide all the rest! Third - Nicole is super friendly and easy to work with. We loved her so much that we booked our family session (outside, in the fall) with her and she captured some amazing shots of the fall colors. And, we'll be using her for all of our future photography needs. LOVE Nicole!!

I did receive Ashleigh's response a few days later. I changed the rating back to five because I…read moredon't want to tarnish all the other fives she received. Based on other reviews, they do a great job, but I have not verified that. While I was waiting response back from LBS, I have hired another photographer already. Ashleigh, I understand that you can't make yourself available all the time, but when you go on vacation, I suggest you to change your voice mail to let your current and potential customers know. I call your phone and the voice mail didn't have any indication you might be in delay to get back, so I can only assume you are busy and don't have the capacity for the job. However, I still hope we can use your service in the future.

Michelle is PHENOMENAL!!!! I've been following her work and obsessing over it for years. Once I got…read moreengaged, I knew there was no other option. I HAD to have Michelle shoot my wedding!!! We did our engagement photos a few months ago and she killed it (Duh)! Her eye for a good shot is unreal. We stood in front of an overgrown bush and at first I thought, "what is she doing? this is going to look weird"... NOPE. The shots in front of this bush are AMAZING and turned out to be my favorite shots of our entire shoot. She can make an ordinary background look amazing in the pictures. My fiancé hates pictures and really wasn't looking forward to our shoot and to be honest, I was so nervous all of our pics would look like he was forcing a fake smile. But no way, not with Michelle! She had him cracking up and was able to get the most genuine smiles out of him. Her work genuinely doesn't even need any editing. All of her originals are stunning but the edits...oh my god. I cried when I got my pictures back. They were everything I wanted. I cannot wait for her to shoot my wedding! Being that photos are such an important part of our wedding, I know I'm in great hands with Michelle. She's seriously like a magician. Her eye for photography is something I fell inlove with years ago. There was no other option in my mind. Michelle is the only way to go if you want the most beautiful photos!!! I feel so lucky to have locked her in for my wedding.

Jake and Jennifer are amazing photographers! Professional, down to earth and accommodating. Funny…read moretoo! :) The minute we met with Jake, we knew we wanted him to do our wedding. My husband and I are a bit uncomfortable when posing for pictures but Jake made us feel very comfortable. They captured great candid moments from our ceremony and reception, as well as posed ones. We wanted our first look at 2 locations and they did an amazing job. Even though they hadn't been to that 2nd location before, Jake took one look and knew just the right spots to shoot. Jennifer captured some great moments of me getting ready in the hotel room, as well as other amazing candid shots while we were all too focused on posing for Jake. Also, we contacted them 3 months after our wedding because we needed another copy of the paperwork and Jake got back to us in 2 minutes with everything we needed. We couldn't have hired a better pair for our wedding photos. Highly recommended!

Strongly recommend!

I've been struggling with the idea of writing this review, but feel compelled to share our…read moreexperience, as I am sure others may find themselves in the same situation. We first met Otto through a Craigslist advertisement, where he was searching for models to help him explore areas around his new neighborhood of Joliet, IL, to give him inspiration for future shoots there. As the newly-engaged fiancee to a photographer myself, I felt compelled to respond to the ad, and within a few days, we had met Otto in downtown Joliet. As far as Otto's technique and professionalism, I know that the dynamic between a couple and their photographer largely depends on the personalities of each person and the intention with which they approach the shoot, but my partner and I were a bit put off by the excess of light boxes and staged posing. Still, for couples who seek photographers with this style, I do think that Otto would be a great match. Otto is a very friendly and funny person, and we felt that he was respectful and supportive of our relationship, which I am sure is hugely important for any couple contracting someone to capture it on their wedding day! When we received the images from the shoot, we were happy with his work and very grateful that he shared these with us. It wasn't until recently that I began to feel a bit uncomfortable about having worked with Otto. I had stumbled across something he had published that hinted at an anti-gay mentality, and was surprised by this finding. I was initially hurt, but my partner pursued it further with him to allow him the opportunity to explain what he meant. We were met with a response that was offhand and flippant regarding our concern, and could not help but feel the sting of hypocrisy at its finest. This review is not meant to attack Otto on his stance on LGBT rights, as everyone is entitled to his opinion, but I think it is disheartening to work with someone who claims he is supportive of gay marriage when he is working with a gay couple (for monetary gain or otherwise), and who then turns his back on the issue when he is no longer under contract. This may not mean much to most people, as questions of their unions never surface, but I would be doing a disservice to myself and the LGBT community at large by not revealing our experience.

This review is LONG overdue as our wedding was May 2010. *gulp*…read more I have known Otto for years. We went to school together. And although we worked together on many projects, photography was always his strongest love and passion. When we worked together, you could appreciate his sense of detail, his eye and ability to bring out the best in people by disarming the situation. It was a no-brainer when the time came to get married that Otto would be the one to do the photos. We didn't want the standard photos you see so often. We'd seen the work he's done for others and in his own home with his family. With only one request (big family photos), we left him alone to do his work: gave him free reign, full access. And with that, his thoughtful, photojournalistic style made our wedding as vivid in stills as it did in real life that day. In terms of logistics, our non-standard wedding (outdoors, in a public park) were no problem for Otto. He quick assessed the situation and delivered stunning photography that has been the rave of everyone who has seen them. He is strongly strongly recommended. And if you have any questions about his work, please feel free to DM me.
