I was cooperating with Pati and Tom (The Creators and Owners of GoodTime) on several occasions. First, I have invited them (some time ago) to do a sort of reportage of business luncheon and business workshop I was organizing. They were on time, with all ideas... I was feeling, that I have should give them so called free hand and the outcome was great. A lot of people wanted to know who we hired. It was something edgy, cause we wanted everything in black and white... It was absolutely great. Then I needed the professional photo shoot for my web page and marketing. It came out perfect. Pati is reading me like an open book and our verbal communication is not needed. Pati is intuitive and she knows what is the best at any given moment.. It was not a question when it comes to my Very Important Day AKA Wedding Day. I would recommend GoodTimePhotography, not only because I like Pati and Tom and we have established sort of friendship, but they are professional and they know what they are doing. My wedding day was challenging a little. (We wanted to have a metra ride instead of limo, and Pati with Tom captured every emotion and moment perfectly...even among the strangers such as passengers, tourists and visitors. I cant find the words to describe it. If you need someone who will be a part of a special day, and it doesn't matter if it will be business, casual or special, you should consider GoodTimePhotography, they will surprise you and give you the best....

That was AWESOME!!! Ladies if you need THE PHOTO, Pati and Tom are THE TEAM. They have the greatest ideas and they know HOW TO get the best out of you. Love to work with them.

Wedding Event Review…read more I found Mio Forte on Yelp, and was very thankful that we did! We are very happy with our experience with Jorge (owner of Mio Forte). He was very responsive, punctual, professional, and captured some amazing moments from our wedding. Package: We picked the "Il Tipico (The Typical)" package and added the cinematography ad-on (3-4 minute video summary of the wedding). The package covered 6 hours of continuous photography throughout the wedding. Photos: We had a few typical wedding "poses" prior and after the ceremony. However, my favorite photos are the photojournalistic ones that captured real moments. Video summary: The video summary was so amazing! Jorge took some wonderful video clips throughout the wedding day, and put it together into a cool video for us. We preferred this to hiring a full videography since we did not want to watch 5 hours of footage LOL. Thank you, Jorge, for capturing our special day!

We couldn't be happier with our experience with H Photography and Doru! From our very first…read moremeeting, Doru impressed us with his professionalism, warmth, and genuine interest in getting to know us as a couple. He took the time to understand our wedding photography vision--what moments mattered most to us, what style we loved, and how we wanted the day to feel in photos. That level of personal attention meant so much and made the entire process--from our engagement session to the big day--feel seamless and enjoyable. Doru's expertise in journalistic photography perfectly aligned with our desire for photos that felt real, emotional, and timeless. He has a rare gift for capturing the in-between moments--the laughter, the quiet glances, the joy on our guests' faces. Every image feels alive, and our photos tell the full story of the day in such an authentic and beautiful way. Our engagement session was a great preview of what was to come. Doru helped us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, which really shows in the natural, relaxed photos we received. On our wedding day, he was everywhere without ever being intrusive--present, perceptive, and always ready to capture a meaningful moment. The final product was beyond anything we imagined. The photos themselves are stunning, and the leather-bound photo album he created is a true work of art. Flipping through its pages brings back every emotion from our wedding day--it's something we'll treasure forever. If you're looking for a photographer who listens, understands your vision, and brings it to life with artistry and heart, we wholeheartedly recommend H Photography and Doru. His experience, creativity, and genuine care shine through in every single photo, and we're so grateful for the memories he preserved for us.

Last month I worked with Claudia to capture a surprise engagement for my fiance. As you can…read moreimagine, I was extremely nervous not only to propose but also to make sure the pictures captured the moment. The day of the session, Claudia made sure to discretely take photos of us prior to, during, and after the proposal. I was so happy with how everything turned out.

I'm not exaggerating when I say I spent over 6 months looking, researching and interviewing photographers until I finally found Studio Finch. From the moment we first met Jason & Ela we loved them. They are just great people and totally down to earth. They answered all of our questions and made us feel at ease. Now, onto the actual photos...I can't tell you how absolutely AMAZING our photos are. We got married 2 years ago and people still comment online about how fantastic our photos are and want to know who our photographers were. I had sent Ela a bunch of shots we wanted to re-create with our wedding party and they did every last shot and they came out exactly like we wanted. They trudged through old barns, cow manure, mud, dirt and grime to get our shots. Not too many photographers would do that!!! Not only did they do it, they suggested most of those shots! Bottom line is, they are just fantastic. You get 2 incredible photographers with 2 different sets of eyes and styles when you book them. They will go above & beyond to capture the magic of your day and smile while doing it. I've since recommend them to multiple people who have used them for their weddings and they just rave about how fantastic they were and how incredibly happy they are with their photos.

The photos (and album!) were processed quickly and within the provided timeline, and all came out even more gorgeous than we could have expected.

If you're reading this review then you've already discovered Robert's website and will know that…read morehis style of wedding photography and the quality of his work is great! Our daughter got married in Chicago and we live in Florida so it was very complicated to find somebody that we would like. We couldn't really rely on recommendations because we didn't know anybody there. Also to be perfectly honest we didn't want to spend more than $3000 on the photography. Being that the wedding was in downtown Chicago, everybody that I talk to before finding Robert was very stuck up and very very pricey. When I looked at Roberts work on his website I was absolutely amazed by the pictures that he would take. They were not traditional wedding pictures where you have everybody just lined up, they were pictures of the moments, pictures of the things that were actually happening. Just by looking at those pictures you could imagine what was going on at those weddings. His photographs tell a story and capture the most natural shots possible. For us, this was very important. Robert was very courteous and was able to cover the day without being obtrusive while at the same time being in the right place at the right time. We had many compliments about him from our guests. When I was hiring Robert I wanted to hire two photographers for my daughter's wedding every single moment would be captured. He tried to assured me that I would not need two photographers because of the size of her wedding. We had 80 people. I was still skeptical but he did say that he would have his assistant with him so I decide to go I and just hire him. Well, he was right! He was able to cover everything! Bride's preparations, groom's preparation, me being stressed out :), maid of honor helping, bride drinking a glass of champagne.... Everything that you want to remember from your wedding. All the candid shots, people dancing, drinking, eating... Everything! Most importantly my daughter is little shy and does not like taking pictures, so the way that Robert did this was just amazing. She felt so comfortable with him that I now am such a happy mom looking at her beautiful pictures. Thank you Robert for making my daughter's day so special.

Bride's Thoughts: Our experience with Eric O'Connor was more than we could have hoped for. From the…read morefirst moment that I actually met Eric (when my fiancé proposed) I knew I was in good hands. He exudes compassion, understanding and knowledge. This is important to a bride! He took our proposal, engagement and wedding pictures...and we've been so happy with them all. Eric is dependable, organized and SO personable. Our wedding party, particularly the girls, raved about how Eric handled things. I must have thought that Eric's ways were the norm, but I was informed from my closest and most trusted friends that Eric was extraordinary and even was told "I wish I had a photographer like him." As a bride, you want to be sure you are in trusted hands. He carried the train of my dress many times, gave my girls tips on how to stand to look their best, joked with us and made us all at ease. Not to mention he cleans up nice, and cares about his appearance on the day that you REALLY care about yours! Luckily, my husband and I live near Eric because he came over to our home to go through our pictures and put together our wedding album. However, I'd have to assume he'd have done this even if we lived far away, that is just the kind of guy he is. We settled on our pictures, just received our album and we are smitten with it! As are our parents, who got miniature albums, too. :) Groom's Thoughts: My personal experience with Eric was a little different. I knew Eric prior to hiring him as our photographer. But I knew from the start of working with him on the proposal pictures he was a good match for my fiancé (now wife). Organized, professional, and very perceptive of his client's needs. He takes the time to explain how best to take shots in a professional way, but always truly listens to what you want. Watching how calm my wife was during all of the photography was amazing and I owe much of that to Eric's demeanor with her. He put her at ease by helping and directing her at the right times. Additionally, he was extremely helpful with anything we needed outside of just photography - helping my wife bustle her dress, giving bridesmaids pointers on how to help, keeping us on time, etc. Additionally, for me it means a lot when you team up with the right people to create an amazing experience. While Eric was focused on my extremely beautiful wife (aka hottest girl in the world), he teamed up with another photographer who was perfect for working with me and the rest of the groomsmen. Funny, relaxed yet still organized and on-point, Robb was more than I would have expected. He made our day easy, and more importantly got the right/best pictures. With that said, Eric deserves the utmost compliments. I would definitely recommend him for your wedding, or any event! Bride and Groom's Thoughts: We love Eric and if you are lucky enough to have him photograph your special day, you won't be sorry!

Its been three years since our wedding over Thanksgiving week 2008 and my brother is now wanting to get him scheduled for a wedding in 2013!
