Her follow-up was impeccable from the very beginning. Now for the big stuff: She's also talented. She shot at our house on a gray, dreary day and seemed to find perfect light in every single room. She captured moments--a few posed shots here and there--but mostly genuine moments between our little family. She even coaxed my grumpy son into having fun and laughing and caught some truly brilliant shots of him. Gorgeous colors. A nice eye for composition. And a genuine joy to work with! I would highly recommend Laura for any family shoot.

Jorge of Immersive Virtual was quick to respond to my filled out questionaire, which I will add was rather last minute. He was so accomodating and communicative with me the entire process!! It made the whole set up feel like i was local and not across the country. There were nearly 100 of us and many youngsters in the group which could have made a photo booth a little chaotic... Jorge was a pro and we have amazing photos to memorialize our wonderful reunion. Family members are still commenting on the great "photo booth guy" and what a great addition it was to the many activities planned. His rates were very reasonable and quality of props top notch! Highly recommend yoyu call them for your next event!

Communication beforehand was very clear and detailed, including all of the available timings and packages. Charissa did such a wonderful job, not just in the technical acumen of photography and editing, but in making us feel comfortable enough to capture our best selves! She made us feel right at home, and we are grateful for it. The photos (and album!) were processed quickly and within the provided timeline, and all came out even more gorgeous than we could have expected. We're excited to book her to take more photos of us in the future!

I would highly recommend Charissa and look forward to working with her in the future!

We wanted a photographer there to capture pictures of us and our children. As a result, we only needed a photographer for about an hour on a Saturday afternoon. I contacted Christopher via email on September 20 and explained our situation, and he said he was available for our October 20 date. Christopher sent us his contract via email. After that, I tried to contact him several times to follow up both via email and phone. I left several voicemail messages in the ensuing weeks, but he never returned any of the phone calls. Plus, time was running out to find someone new. Our wedding is in less than a week and Christopher is MIA. We can't find a replacement. Horrible! Thanks a lot Christopher! Maybe some day you will get around to reading these reviews and realize how badly you dropped the ball and let us down. If you couldn't do the job you set out to do, then you should have notified us ASAP so that we could make alternative arrangements.

Finding a Chicago wedding photographer is a difficult task with so many options in this city!…read moreLuckily, I stumbled upon Christopher's photos on the JuneBug Wedding Blog while researching Chicago photographers. We love his style - bold and bright colors with our beautiful city as the background. He captures candid photos as well as comfortable posed shots. His prices are affordable compared to many photographers in the city. I believe the investment is worth it. The turnaround with the wedding photos was quick. He replied to our questions right away and was extremely professional and authentic. Wedding photographers are definitely a difficult task to find in the city of Chicago...I'm so grateful we were able to have Christopher photograph our engagement and wedding!

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.

Rob is amazing. I found his website randomly one night as I was trying to find photographers who…read morehave taken pictures at the Arboretum. I was very impressed with his website and portfolio, so my fiance and I set up a meeting with him. During that meeting with Rob, we were blown away about how much he knows about photography. You could tell he has a passion for this. My fiance(now husband) wanted to book Rob right away, but I didnt want to put all our eggs in one basket right away. We met with another solo photographer who could not even compare to Rob and we met with a big box company who insulted us and really just tried to sell their "made in italy" custom books, not the photography. Rob was always prompt with getting back to me as I had a lot questions and he explained everything. Our engagement session was a blast and when I saw the proofs, they were just perfect! Before the wedding, Rob was in touch with us and suggested an alternate site for wedding pictures. When we drove by, I fell in love with it! However, due to the heat on our wedding date, we went back to the bar my fiance (husband) met at and Rob was completely on board! The week of the wedding called us and we were able to discuss day of planning and we were all on the same page! For the day of, Rob and his crew were on time and started snapping away! He was professional, but fun to work with! I can't wait to see the pictures!!!! We also used his digital photo booth which was something new as the "strips" are emailed to the parties instead of printed out. Some of the pictures I took with friends turned out okay, but some were really dark which was disappointing. Overall, his price is reasonable for the area and I always believe you get what you pay for with photography. He is passionate and knowledgeable about the industry, is easy to talk to and provides a great product.

This was my third time taking professional photos and it was the best experience of the three. Garret is funny, witty, and friendly and he quickly made me feel at home in his studio. I am not the sort of person who enjoys being the center of attention, nor do I typically like photo shoots, but this was a genuinely fun experience. And, of course, there was the photos themselves (example included). Each time we sat down to look at the most recent batch of photos, I was blown away by their quality. Garret included an array of different photos, from LinkedIn banners to stock headshots to action photos, and I can use them for everything. One is on my LinkedIn profile (plus the banner!), one is on an article I wrote for an industry publication, and three are already framed in my grandma's living room. I will be going back to Garret whenever I have need of more professional photos in the future!

I contacted them through their site and they responded right away. I really liked the way they listened to my ideas and created a mood board incorporating their vision. We scheduled a shoot for later that month. The shoot was very comfortable and an overall fun experience! Being my first photoshoot, I was instructed on how to pose for the pictures that suited my body type and persona. I was able to see a sneak peek of the photos as we were shooting them. I was surprised to receive my photos within two weeks since they had told me 4 weeks. I am in LOVE with my photos! The retouching of the photos was exactly suited to my aesthetic! Flawless but natural...I never write reviews but I am so thrilled with the results that I wanted to share this with everyone.
