Where to begin with this team? If you don't read any further, know that my wife and I give the S7MP…read moreteam the highest recommendation possible. My now-wife, Zakira Duff and I got engaged in September 2019 and started planning our wedding soon after. We eventually settled on June 13, 2020 and one of Zakira's friends, Ryan, recommended S7MP as a great photography/videography team, and we contracted with them in early January 2020. We were very impressed with the quality of their work, how they seemed to shoot more diverse couples than other studios we looked at, and offered more competitive pricing compared to other studios of equivalent quality. The complimentary engagement photo shoot that was included in the wedding package was also attractive. Both Zakira's and I's grandmothers passed away before our wedding and we wanted to include a special tribute to them by blowing up pictures of each of us with our grandmother, with them in a faded 'ghost' form. We asked the S7MP team if this would be a feasible project for them, and anticipated having to pay extra, but Victor readily agreed to take the project on, free of charge, and we would just have to pay for the blow-ups later on. This gesture was extremely appreciated, and his work was excellent, and inclusive of touch-ups. However, COVID occurred, and we tried re-scheduling our wedding to late August 2020 at first, for which S7MP flexed with us at no charge, and then we pushed to July 17, 2021, and luckily that date worked for the S7MP team too. In the lead-up to the wedding, Mina, was on point with getting us prepared, and figuring out a date for our engagement shoot. My wife and I live in TX, and travel to Chicago was not the easiest to fit in our schedules, so we were able to get our engagement shoot in 2 days before our wedding. Everything was so hectic in that week, and my wife was close to cancelling the engagement shoot, but we are both very glad we did not do that. It was great to meet Victor, Mina, and Joseph and develop rapport before the wedding, and the quality of their work stood out immediately at our shoot in Lincoln Park. Joe and Victor got super creative and artistic shots of us, and the lighting was perfect. They were amongst the best photos Zakira and I have taken in the 5.5 years we've been together. Besides their work, they were pleasant and punctual to work with, good people all around, and we felt super comfortable during our shoot, in the hands of true professionals. Their team also worked fast to get us our pictures delivered within 24 hours, in time before our wedding, and Victor also put together a 60 second video teaser of us within a day, absolutely beautiful work that we were able to share with our guests in a final pre-wedding email. The day of our wedding their team was prompt, arriving even 15 minutes ahead of an 8 hour schedule (thankfully, since we were rushing around the whole day), and took great shots of me in the groom suite, and then moved up to the bridal suite. We then rushed over to take wedding party shoots at a nearby park none of us had been to, and the S7MP team quickly adapted to the environment and arranged a first look with Zakira and I, and then a bunch of excellent wedding party and bride/groom shots. The ceremony start time was approaching, and Ubers/Lyfts were unreliable in the city, and Mina was super helpful in ordering an Uber for the bridal party so we would make it on time. During the wedding, their team was super engaged and worked efficiently throughout the ceremony and reception, with Joe making sure to get pictures of each table, and positioning the bride/groom with as many family members as was reasonable. The blown-up grandmother portraits were prominently displayed on easels during the wedding and many of our guests appreciated them, with tears in eyes. Our guests remarked that the S7MP team were nice people and fit in well with our group, and had interesting conversations. Zakira and I couldn't have asked for anything more. We felt our event was captured from every angle, and we went home smiling, a truly beautiful day!

There are no words to describe the beauty of Delack's work. We ran across them about a year ago…read morethrough a friend's facebook post of their wedding trailer by Delack. Since that moment, after we watched every single one of their trailers on their website while drowning in tears, we KNEW without a doubt who we wanted to document our wedding! This was before we were even engaged! Once my husband did propose, our first call was to Nathan to check their availability. We based our date on their openings! Somehow, our favorite venue was available on the same day. We immediately booked and planned the wedding in 6 months. We were anxious to start working with Nathan, so we decided to do a "save the date" trailer to send out to our guests. WIthin a week or 2, we were shooting all around the city and having an amazing time with Nathan and his crew. The video was done in just a few days and it turned out better than our already high expectations! We put it on our website and sent it out via email. Our friends and family were sending it to others and everyone was talking about how amazing it was! It certainly gave our guests the feeling of something to look forward to! Our wedding day quickly arrived, and the anticipation for our "same day edit" was intensifying! Our guests did not know that a same day edit was taking place. After the first dance and speeches, my husband and I introduced the video. It was absolutely incredible. The entire room was in tears, and it was so amazing to see the day that had so quickly passed us by, captured in such a beautiful way. The crew was working diligently the entire day and even though it was done so quickly, it looked like something that took weeks to create! From the music, to the hollywood angles, flawless execution, and emotion in every scene, we couldn't have been more pleased with the results. We cannot wait to see the full video that Nathan and his crew at Delack have created for us. He has kept us updated and we hear it is just about finished. They work so hard and quickly...very professional as well!! Video of your wedding is the most incredible way to remember your day. But the way Delack captures every special moment and puts it together will without a doubt leave you speechless.

I came across one of his trailers on Facebook before my now-husband and I even got engaged! His work was so beautiful that it reduced me to tears (and I didn't even personally know the bride and groom!); I knew right away that Nathan (the owner and lead videographer) was a special talent and that I wanted to work with him. From our first contact, Nathan was extremely pleasant, professional, and responsive! I'm a little on the OCD side, so I loved how thorough he was and his amazing attention to detail. What's even better? On our wedding day, he and his team were so unobtrusive that we didn't even notice they were there! His rates are fairly expensive, but it's definitely some of the best money we spent. We cant wait to see our full film!

John Johnson of Captured Productions videotaped our daughter's wedding at Chicago's Carnivale in…read moreAugust of 2018. We found him to be professional, personable, prompt, and his services very reasonably priced. Mr. Johnson did an excellent job of communicating with us prior to the wedding to ensure that he met our needs and knew the order of events; communicating with the venue to arrange set-up location and times; and he discussed the ceremony order again prior to the beginning of the wedding in case we made changes (which we did), and he easily adapted to the changes. During the wedding and ceremony, he and his assistant were unobtrusive in getting a record of all the events, and everyone responded happily to him when asked to give advice or feedback on video . We're so glad we had him do the video because there were so many things that we missed seeing while we engaged with guests. We have watched the video numerous times since the wedding and it feels like that day all over again!!! Well done, Mr. Johnson!!!!
