Christopher photographed my wedding at the end of July. From our initial consult, to our…read morecommunication leading up to the event, to our experience on the day and the price we paid, I couldn't be happier with our choice of photographer. Chris did a great job of getting to know my wife and I before our ceremony date. He met with us to discuss what we wanted and to get a feel for our personality as a couple. We were a bit apprehensive before meeting him because neither my wife or I are very comfortable in front of a camera, but he really put us at ease, making us feel confident that we wouldn't feel overly pressured or "directed" working with him. Chris was very accommodating to work with, agreeing to a few different last-minute schedule changes when we decided we needed more time for pre-ceremony pictures. With only 90 minutes before our ceremony, he worked very fast to take a bunch of creative photos in different locations we'd chosen around town, getting us to the "church" with plenty of time to spare. He was also great at finding unique angles from which to photograph the ceremony (stealthily creeping around so we never even noticed him), dealing with our disorganized families to get group shots of everyone before the reception started, and capturing all the guests and big moments during the reception itself. The biggest thing I can say is that Chris listened to what my wife and I wanted and delivered! This is a strong contrast to our engagement session with a different (more expensive) photographer, which was overly staged and harried and resulted in "nice" pictures that nevertheless don't feel like "us." We are a laid back couple and had a very low-key wedding (no wedding party, few traditional elements), and Chris did an excellent job adapting to our personalities. In reference to the very negative review posted earlier, I can only say that we experienced no communication issues with Chris or his wife. Our photos were delivered to us more or less in the timeframe promised, and I appreciate that he gives you an entire disc of pictures rather than just a selected few.

I bought a living social deal last December thinking it would be awesome to have shots done with my…read morechildren and I in the Chicago winter and then life got in the way. My kids were sick most of the winter, it did not snow until it was February and WAY to cold to be outside for pictures so I did not even try to make an appointment until spring. When I did I had to work around my kids' sports schedules, their time with their dad and of course the photographer's schedule as well. We settled on a date that was outside the window but he graciously extended it. Fast forward 4 weeks, it was raining and has been raining for several days. We had to reschedule, again given our busy schedules we finally set a date about 5 weeks out. The morning of the photo shoot, it was overcast and looked like it was going to rain even though the forecast said nothing about rain but I waited and waited and just as it was time for the shoot the skies cleared up and the sun came out. Our photo shoot was at 6, so I was tired from a long day of work and the kids school but Christopher was great. He was able to get a ton of amazing shots. The photos took a little longer than expected to be received but after reviewing them they were well worth the wait. THEY ARE FANTASTIC!!

The 5 stars are well deserved for our photographer that we chose from Modern Image: John Strauss…read more He was so pleasant to have around ! John made the best of his time with us. From the minute he arrived, his great energy was appreciated - since we were running around like mad people. He was thorough the days leading up to the wedding and attempted greatly to keep us on track, with what we had previously discussed. He made great suggestions and really was efficient with decision making, pulling us out for alone time pics, respected our wishes and captured the greatest moments!! John Strauss was an amazing asset to our wedding. No one else would have done the perfect job as he did. Pay the extra fee to be able to choose your photographer from this place and pick John!! Dealing with the company itself was overall not so bad.

I did a ton of research on wedding photographers and really regret going with Modern Image Studios…read more While not everything goes according to plan during wedding planning, this is the only thing that my husband and I are still upset about. My cousin took BETTER and way more shots than he did. We met with the owner of the company who showed us pictures and asked about what we were looking for in a wedding photographer. We were also told we would have 2 photographers numerous times over email and phone. WELL, WE NEVER GOT THE 2 PHOTOGRAPHERS IN WRITING ON OUR CONTRACT SO WE COULDN'T USE THAT AS A REASON FOR A REFUND. BIZARRE THAT THEIR EMPLOYEES EMAILS DON'T MEAN ANYTHING. Our photographer was awful. While he did get a few good shots, we thought we would get a professional that would handle the photography for the day. We had 10 hours of him asking us what pictures we wanted. Um, isn't that what we are paying you for? And if someone looks out of place, aren't you supposed to make the picture look better? I was more than thorough telling our photographer what we wanted in writing and that day. He missed so many shots and we also have 1 picture of important things, such as my husband and his parents. Really?! How hard would it have been to take 2 shots of that?! And although we took staged shots with our families, I assumed he would have taken some candids later. Funny that there are hardly any pictures once we got to the reception! I have a few friends that used Modern Image and their pictures were great! And they had thousands of images compared to our less than 800! I guess I figured Modern Image Studios admitted they should have put us with a different photographer and had another photographer there to assist. Yet, with it being our wedding day, they couldn't do much I have to say that they did try to make up for the awful wedding pictures by giving us discounts on pictures, etc. We said no because we didn't need more pictures--we wanted pictures of our wedding day! After months of tears and back and forth fighting with Modern Image Studios, they finally gave us a small refund. Overall, I wish I would have spent three times as much money to deal with a reputatble photographer. I should not have had to spend my wedding day instructing an amateur on what to take and then being upset getting back less than stellar photos. I love getting a good deal but this was not worth it. *One thing that really annoyed me about this company was that they put out sign-in sheets on the tables for people to sign-up for our pictures when they were available. This is pretty trashy to me and I did not want my pictures shared with everyone. **I used a videographer from this company and that turned out fantastic. The videographer captured so much of our wedding day so it even made it more obvious that the photographer was out of it. This is the only reason they get 2 stars in my book!

I would highly recommend All About Amore to anyone. My husband & I got married in November, and…read moreinitially, we had a hard time finding a photographer who understood what we wanted and whom we felt would take quality photos without being cheesy. After researching several photographers, we met with Steve Garrett after a friend recommended him. Immediately I could tell that Steve would be a perfect fit for us. He's a really nice guy, and he just put us at ease when we met him. I reviewed some of his portfolio, and I really liked what I saw. We decided to hire him. Our wedding was beautiful, and Steve shot us throughout the day, along with an assistant. Both photographers were polite, kind, enthusiastic, and outgoing. In the morning, they shot the bridal party before the ceremony, as we got ready. It's hard to put into words...they were fun to be around, but much of the time, we felt that they did a great job of letting the day unfold without us feeling like there was a camera right there. They got some great shots of everyone together, posed pictures, but a lot of candid shots that truly make me relive the day in my memory. Since it was November, he got great shots using the color of the fall leaves. I loved those photos most, because they are beautifully shot, and allow me to remember the feelings I had, on the morning of my wedding day. Then were the ceremony and reception shots, which were all pretty fantastic. One thing I really liked about having two photographers was that sometimes, they would each do their own thing, taking shots of the different guests there, the food, etc. But then, sometimes they would take shots together, each from a different angle. I thought that was really cool, because sometimes, the subjects would not be looking directly at the camera. All in all, I would (and have) recommend Steve and his team at All About Amore if you're looking for a wedding photographer. If you want quality photos, and a photographer(s) who will take the kind of photos that YOU envision, then give Steve a call. You won't be disappointed.

They offer a very professional but relaxed and flexible experience. Christian Yah and Ali were our photographers, both were phenomenal and really added to our special day.

When looking for a wedding photographer, we relied on the recommendations of a few friends who…read morespoke very highly of Michael Litchfield and we were not disappointed! Our pictures turned out really great and I can't stop looking at them. Beyond being a great photographer, which anyone will claim, Michael is a pleasure to work with. He is very laid back, while still being extremely professional and reliable. He answered every email promptly and went above and beyond, meaning he helped us with generally wedding planning that he really didn't have to do. He puts you at ease and makes taking a million pictures enjoyable. I'm not kidding when I say my friends continue to ask about him because he was so fun to be around. We went with his Level 3 package, which involves 2 photographers, and both Michael and the 2nd photographer (we had Jon) were great. And I think he offers a very fair price point for the quality of work that he does. I highly recommend Michael Litchfield. Book him now before he moves onto bigger and better things!
