I can't stop watching it over and over again bc it makes me relive my wedding day. I wasn't going to consider a videographer for my wedding but I am sooooo HAPPY that I decided to get one. Frank knows how to capture the moments and edit it into one beautiful piece. I am excited to see the other films he has in store for us. Frank was so easy to work with and made it comfortable for all of us to be in front of the camera. If you need a videographer for your big day, Frank is the best person to go to. He will not disappoint :)

Mother and daughter. WHAT? The photos they took are so average in scope and quality. SO disappointed. We had "the wife" as our photographer and she was all about the groom's family - taking many pictures of that family. When it came to MY family - and I was paying for the service she was stingy and did not take the "money shots". There was very little creativity in the pictures, either. Very stagnant posing.... It's a moment that has come and gone and can never be replicated. Thank GOD I had friends and family that took very artistic photos of the day. Surprised this company is still in business...and the photography on their website is deceiving.

I will tell you a little story. 17 years ago I was looking for a photographer to take my senior…read moreportriats, but I only wanted black and white. I spent an entire summer calling around to photographers, and going to check out their work. After 3 months and dozens of photographers, most who would only do a portion in black and white, I found Kane Photography. Marie Kane had no problem with my request and the quality of her work was superior to any other photographer I had previously gone to. Since that time I have used Kane Photography for any of my photography needs. They did my senior pictures, my wedding, baby pictures for my oldest, and countless family portraits. In the last 17 years I have lived all over the world, and currently reside in Phoenix, Arizona. However, when it's time for pictures my family and I travel to Rockford, Illinois and go to Kane Photography. Matt, Marie, and Doreen have become like family to us, and no other photographer captures the beauty of life quite like they do. If your looking for a photographer who will truly capture your precious life moments, look no further than Kane. I promise you will not be disappointed.

My wife and I did our wedding with Brent from Luxe and he made our special day and planning process amazing. I couldn't ask for any more. From the very first discovery call Brent worked extremely hard in making us feel heard to fine tune exactly what we wanted out of our wedding. From there it was a stress free planning process. Luxe had tools to help us pick songs and Brent gave us plenty of time (essentially until the day of) to input "must, maybe, and don't plays". He also took into account other playlists we had. Seamless, easy process. On the day of, Brent's set up was flawless. Even with a little rain during our outside ceremony, we had a beautiful seamless event. Moving into the wedding reception - dinner was also flawless. We did not have to worry about a thing or lift a finger. Brent MC'ed a wonderful party from there on out. The fence floor was full until the very end. Thank you Brent!!! Jack/Nicole

When looking for a photographer for our wedding, my criteria were that the photographer takes…read morebeautiful shots and that they are reliable. After looking through Brian's impressive portfolio and sitting down with him to talk, we decided to hire him for our wedding and engagement shoot. Brian completely exceeded my expectations in every way possible. Brian is not only very reliable, but he is also extremely dedicated to his work. Brian drove over 90 miles to get to our engagement photo shoot and on the way he stopped at a gas station on the south side of Chicago where he stepped on two nails, which punctured his foot. Although we insisted that we reschedule so he could take care of himself, he still arrived (early, as his style) ready to shoot our session. He carried his equipment on his back on his injured foot for miles around Chicago, and took some of the most breathtaking photos I have ever seen. Brian helped us to feel completely comfortable the entire time. I remember being impressed with how he can walk backwards, get to know us better by carrying on a conversation, assess the lighting of the area around him, all while shooting pictures that made our families cry and that we will treasure forever. We are happier than ever that we chose Brian and his assistant Greg to shoot our wedding on July 13, 2013. On the day of my wedding, I didn't have time to notice all of the details that I previously spent so much time planning. Brian perfectly captured all of these details in his photographs. There were many shots that I would have never thought to ask him to take, but because of his professionalism and experience he provided these pictures for us. Most importantly, Brian captured the moments that happen so quickly.. but that I will remember forever. Because of his talent, I have photos of my mom trying not to cry as I step into my dress, my grandmother giggling with the woman who was doing her make up, my groom's first teary look at me, and so much more. You are a lucky couple if you get to book Brian for your wedding!

My sister, my mother, and I all tried in vain to get the pictures and we were all met with varying stall tactics, excuses, and unreturned phone calls. To top it off, Chris W. had my first review removed and sent me this threat: "Take down your fake comment or we will send lawyers notes. You've never been a client of ours so our lies can stop." So no, I wouldn't recommend this guy to take a picture of cold cow dung for you; much less tell you to trust him with your special memories.

Our pictures were beautiful and the guys were fun to work with on the day of our wedding, but that…read moreis where the positive review stops. There was an extreme lack of communication after our wedding in regards to when the pictures would be ready. We were married the first week of October and I was told there would a turnaround of about 6-8 weeks. Fine, no problem, we'll have them before Christmas so we can use them in presents. As Christmas drew near, I began emailing Chris to make sure that we would have them. He said, yes, of course, they were almost done. Still didn't have them a week before Christmas so I made plans with Chris to meet up him a couple days before Christmas and pick them up. He stood me up not once, but twice. No phone call, no email, nothing both times and when my husband and I tried to contact him there was no response. I received an email the next day with some excuse about being "kidnapped" by his family for the holiday and unable to answer phone calls or send emails. Right, that's plausible. Wouldn't your family understand that you run a business and customer service is a huge part of that business? He promised to deliver them to our door on Christmas Eve, but unsurprisingly never showed up or answered his phone. Again, the "family kidnapping" excuse was used. On December 26th, we began calling and emailing again. Nothing. Finally, on the 27th or 28th, my husband and I drove down to their studio to speak to Chris in person. My husband went in and caught him completely off guard full of excuses like "We just got back in the office an hour ago, you were calling the work phone and no one was checking the messages during Christmas, blah blah blah", even though we had been communicating through email during the previous week around the holiday. My husband stood there while Chris copied the photos on to a flash drive and promptly left. So clearly our pictures had been ready the entire time, but Chris for some reason could not get them to us even after setting up two appointments to do so. They obviously need an office manager or something to keep them on track. The pictures turned out wonderful, but their customer service and follow-up is some of the worse I've ever experienced. I would never use them again or recommend them to anyone else.

So naturally, since wedding photos were my #1 priority, I was basically a lunatic when it came to finding our photographer. A friend of ours is a former wedding planner and she recommend us to Christopher as someone who had helped her out in a pinch. We loved his website, but it all seemed to good to be true. It wasn't! After talking with him I couldn't have felt more at ease. I can't say we didn't put him through the ringer while "interviewing" with him, but I can say how absolutely THRILLED we are with our wedding photos. I jokingly tell everyone that I love my wedding photos more than I could ever love my husband (so far its not true, but only time will tell how that pans out..;) KIDDING). Christopher was awesome to work with. We are inherently awkward and unruly people, but Christoper did a great job of coaching us and capturing "real" photos. There isn't a photo in our collection that looks overly posed or unnatural (we worked out those kinks during our engagement shoot). In the end we received about 1400 edited, digital photos (I can't imagine how many he actually took!), and the count does not even include our engagement session. We had him all day from 9am to 10pm, and our package included a 2nd photographer. I also can't emphasis enough how easy it was to have Christopher around us all day, even in the limo as we cruised before the reception. Our friends were probably even too comfortable around him which explains some unusual groomsmen photos.. My best advice (obviously stolen from Christopher): 1. DO the engagement session. We wanted to bail on it, but I can't stress enough how much it helped to practice being in front of camera. I think it made our wedding photos a million times less awkward having been used to the camera being on us. 2. Hold your bouquet low as you walk down the aisle. I see so many photos (not done by Chris) where the bride is holding her bouquet by her chest and covering up that dress you just paid hundreds of dollars for. Also smile!! Maybe you are crying, or about to barf, but just smile.. that goofy look is what people call 'true love'. 3. Try to think about the photos that you actually WANT. I've been in so many weddings where I have to sit through 4 hours of photos while EVERYONE gets portraits done. Why do you want a picture of just you and your great aunt? Do you need a solo portrait of each bridesmaid? Who frames a solitary photo of themselves? Christopher was more than willing to take whatever photos we asked, but our family photos took 20 minutes tops. The group photos are the ones you are going to frame anyway. Cut the excess and get to your reception.. you should be partying right now! (Also make sure to sneak away for 15 minutes towards the end of your reception.. I mean have you SEEN his website? The man knows his way around a flash at night).
