From start to finish, he was professional, communicative, and incredibly attentive. He kept us updated the entire way which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. During the shoot, Sergei helped guide us through poses, made us laugh, and captured the romantic, emotional feel of our proposal perfectly. His vision genuinely brought the scenery to life in ways we never expected. And the final photos? Absolutely phenomenal. The editing, the clarity, the composition all exceeded our expectations, especially at this price point. Friends and family haven't stopped complimenting the pictures. He truly went above and beyond, and it shows in every image. We would strongly recommend Sergei to anyone looking for a photographer who is not only talented but genuinely invested in delivering beautiful results. We would book with him again without hesitation.

What's included in the package is made unclear, so I never got what I expected. In addition, during the shoot he said that he could take my arm out if I had it on my kiddo and when I reminded him of this later, he said that was considered a complex edit and would cost money but they'd do it complmenetary that time. Had he told me this at the time of the shoot, we would have done something differently to get photos without me there in the background. Not cool.

Duron is incredibly talented and is an artist in his photographs. I am grateful and feel so lucky…read moreto have had him take pictures for my wedding. I first met Duron 8 years ago for pictures with my dog and I decided that one day when I got married, I'd love for him to take my wedding photos. That day came recently and he delivered. He arrived early to scope out the location (outdoors) and brought not one but two cameras for the day. He took hundreds of pictures and knew exactly where to place our guests in the pictures. They turned out really well and he had them ready really quickly. His prices are actually very very reasonable after comparing several photographers in the area. He is also very easy to work with. His turn-around-time is quick and he's very easy to communicate with. My guests even had beautiful pictures of themselves as well. My favorite part is that Duron knows what details look good. He's creative. He asked to borrow my ring during the day and next thing I know there's a gorgeous photo of my ring displayed in my bouquet! I highly recommend Duron as a photographer because he's a professional who not only has incredible equipment but more importantly- a great eye for detail and symmetry. He captures brilliant memories which we can now treasure forever of our special moment.

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!

Alyssa, owner of Candid Clicker, is a fantastic photographer who captured the essence of our…read morewedding with her lens. She has a great eye and documents all the details that the bride and groom might not register through the hustle and bustle of the big day. A quick scroll through her Instagram quickly proves her talent to capture the emotion in each shot. She is very knowledgeable about spots around Chicago, NW Indiana, and SW Michigan so she has great suggestions for where to take photos. During the shoot, she put everyone at ease with her easy going yet professional demeanor, and her friendly personality. I first met Alyssa when I was a bridesmaid for one of my close friend's wedding and she was the photographer. We had such a wonderful experience with her, and even though it was thunderstorming off and on during pictures the photos turned out outstanding. I wasn't even dating anyone but I knew that I would want her as my photographer when the time came for me to get married. Flash forward a few years later and she was the first vendor I booked. Alyssa offers both packaged and a la carte pricing, both of which are very reasonable. We opted for one of her standard options, which includes a free engagement photo session. As a side note, I really recommend taking advantage of this offer because not only do you have photos of this special time in your life, you also get comfortable taking staged photos with your SO and it helps a lot to have practice on wedding day. Alyssa is quick to respond and easy to work with. Whether you have the whole day planned or you need more than a little guidance, she goes with your flow. The day of the wedding, Alyssa and her second shooter were on time and ready to go. She came to the room just as we were finishing getting ready to get the shots right before I put on my dress. Then it was a well-controlled whirlwind of photos, from the first look through the portraits. We talked about everything ahead of time, including a portrait list, so we were able to get through these without any lag or confusion. Through the ceremony and reception, I hardly noticed the cameras while they were discretely shooting away. At the end of the night, Alyssa gave me the heads up that they were finishing and we got a couple of final portraits before they headed out. A couple of days post-wedding, Alyssa posts a sneak peek on her Facebook page so we immediately had some beautiful images to share with family and friends. Then, she retouches every photo before sending out links to the finished product. She sent us nearly a thousand photos from our wedding and we relived the spectacular day frame by frame.

We got 100+ beautiful photos (plus black and white versions) over a 30 minute session, edited and sent to us within a week. Highly highly recommend!!
