She went above and beyond, driving a long distance to our church without hesitation, and captured the most beautiful shots across multiple locations. Her work is truly stunning!We loved every single photo and are so glad we trusted her with the most important day of our lives. She was incredibly thoughtful and made sure every person who was important to us had special photos with us, which meant so much. Her energy was calm, kind, and effortless, and she truly made the day even better. We can't thank her enough and would love to work with her again in a heartbeat.

Brigette did an absolutely fantastic job photographing my wedding this summer!…read more My husband picked her, and I was slightly skeptical since her prices were a bit higher than others I'd seen. That is until I saw her gallery...at which point I was FLOORED! Each photo is truly a gorgeous work of art. Brigette works hard long after your event to make all the colors and composition perfect. She will make you, all your guests, and your setting look totally amazing. Her specialty is really capturing the spirit of an offbeat wedding, from group shots to small inanimate details. And she's especially good at food porn! I added a couple of my favorite shots she did for us here. (Pics 17, 18) Furthermore, she is an all-around awesome wedding guest herself, and all of our friends loved her. She and my Mom almost adopted each other. Pick Brigette for your wedding too! Outer Focus is worth every penny!

My fiancee and I hired Outer Focus (Brigette Sullivan) to shoot our engagement session in October…read more2010. The session was fun - although I remember thinking at the time that it was I who was coming up with the creative shots (heart-shadow, our dogs in the background/us in the foreground), I mean isn't the photographer the creative one? Anyway... It was an hour later that we realized we were being duped. Let me explain. We completed the session, I handed over my (comparatively speaking) high payment in cash, and as I asked when I could expect a disc with the digital images, Brigette declared that we don't get any photos. We were floored. I'll say it again: We didn't get ANY photos. You would think for the amount we paid, we would get the digital images, but no. What we "got" was an option to BUY prints, complete with the Outer Focus watermark! So for $300, we came away with nothing. No photos, no digital images, nothing. Sure, Brigette's time and equipment has value and it's not a question of paying for it, it's the fact that we received nothing in return. We immediately regretted our experience with Outer Focus. We also immediately thought it was shrewd of Brigette to inform us of her "policy" only AFTER we paid. Had we known that we would not get any digital images we never would have worked with Brigette. To make things worse, attempts to work things out with Brigette and discuss our concerns have been ignored. In the months that followed, we spoke with nearly a dozen professional photographers and not a single one withholds the digital images from their customer. If you are looking for a photographer with sub-par creativity, high rates, inept customer service, and deceptive policies, than Brigette is your girl. I wouldn't recommend Outer Focus and Brigette Sullivan to anyone.

As we were doing our research on who we wanted to document our big day, the wife found I Luv Photo…read moreand fell in love with their style. I admittedly had no strong feelings at first, but after our first in-person meeting with Luis and Clarissa I felt a lot better about bringing them on board. They were very easy going, but definitely paid attention to all of our requests and details we gave them. We first did an engagement shoot on a cold wintery day. We had several locations in the South Loop we wanted to go to, and they drove us around as we shot in front of various murals. Even with the difficult parking and chilly weather they got us to most of our spots, and even the two of them worked well together to make sure we got the shots we wanted, and any improvised shots they saw that looked good. I was very impressed with how Luis handled our group of groomsmen on the day of. I guess it helped that we were a little older but we still goofed around a good amount, but Luis was prepared to still corral us in and get the shots he needed. Luis and Clarissa made sure we kept on schedule, and even though we had to abandon one of the places we wanted to shoot the pictures at our alternate spot still looked great. We got the photos about a month and a half after our wedding, posted on their site for ordering prints and we got a Dropbox link with all the full quality images. Throughout the whole process they were responsive and were easy to work with. They may not be a big studio but definitely worth a look!

Working with i luv photo was truly the best of the best. From the first time we met all the way…read morethrough to receiving our photos Luis and Clarissa were professional, kind, and understanding. As member of the LGBTQ community, it was very important to my wife and I to find photographer(s) who were comfortable working with an out of the "norm" couple. Luis and Clarissa were very understanding of our concerns and made the whole process smooth. They worked well with people of all ages from our grandparents to our nieces/nephews. After receiving our BEAUTIFUL photos we realized that one was missing from the bunch that was important to us - after working with Luis and Clarissa, we were able to resolve the issue together and there was no trouble getting access to photos that weren't necessarily a part of their initial pick. I would highly recommend this duo to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. They managed to capture the authenticity of our day in a way that feels warm and inviting. Their professionalism and eagerness made for some truly stunning photographs that we will cherish for years to come.

I cannot say enough positive things about Wedding Creativo! For those of you who prefer bullet…read morepoints, here you go: - Beautiful photography. Not only will you get "traditional" wedding shots, but Giorgio and Sarah have a unique aesthetic, and you will also receive creative, arty shots that are edgy and cool and quite stunning. - Amazing customer service. Sarah was such a valuable resource while we were planning the wedding; she went out of her way to provide tons of information about various vendors and was great at answering my questions, providing useful advice, and just generally being very supportive. Sarah seriously provided SO much more than I expected from a photographer. - Outstanding value. The best thing about Wedding Creativo's pricing is you are not forced to purchase a package with a bunch of extras you don't need or want - you can get the bare minimum and then add on as you please. Here is our story: We just had our wedding, so we haven't received our full set of pictures back (I'll make sure to update this review when we do), but you only need to look online to know that they do a terrific job. Giorgio's photos are literally award-winning, and Wedding Creativo's work is unique, funky, and beautiful. Giorgio is a true artist, and is clearly passionate about what he does. He has a wonderful eye, and his pictures are gorgeous. Sarah is FANTASTIC - I cannot say enough about her. She went WAY above and beyond the call of duty - whenever I emailed her with a question, she would reply promptly, with thoughtful and well-researched responses. Because she was so knowledgeable and helpful, we ended up corresponding fairly regularly, and she really provided some excellent advice and insight. I am so grateful to her for all of her help - she was really amazing! Even though we haven't seen our pictures yet, I am beyond thrilled with all of the work and effort that she put into our big day!! We took our portraits hours before our ceremony so we got to hang out with Sarah and Giorgio for a bit before our wedding, and it was so much fun. They really put us at ease, and I was so much more comfortable and relaxed before the ceremony. We also added on a Polaroid package to our reception, and this retro touch was a big hit. We considered lots of different options (i.e. photo booths, flip books) for the reception, and not only was the Polaroid station the most affordable, but we also got to keep one of the cameras! If you are looking for a unique reception activity Polaroids are a great option, and if you want beautiful photos and amazing service, Giorgio and Sarah are the absolute best!!!

We hired Gail as our wedding photographer and she did an outstanding job!…read more We met with Gail 6 months prior to the wedding to talk. We had a venue booked, and a date, and that was about it - we didn't really know what else we were doing. When Gail asked what time we needed her to arrive on our wedding day, we had no idea. Of course, Gail is so accustomed to weddings that she ended up planning our day-of schedule for us in order to figure out when she needed to arrive. So, we got some wedding planning help as an added bonus. Gail takes beautiful, non-gimmicky, photojournalistic wedding photos. My sweetheart is not a person who loves a camera, but Gail made him feel at ease, and even got him to smile for a few pictures. Gail is unobtrusive, which was very important because we got married in a small side room at a restaurant which was a tight squeeze already. Gail didn't get in the way at all, she was like a photo-ninja and took outstanding photos without me even noticing that she was taking them. Gail alerted us that she would take a little longer than usual on editing and sending us our photos because of a planned trip. Even though she gave us a heads-up on the timing issue, she still offered us a photo print credit for the delay. Gail delivered our photos in less than two months of the wedding, and all the photos look awesome. Gail has no gimmicks, no goofy suggestions for weird Pinteresty photos (unless you're into that, which is fine, and I'm sure she'd support you 100%). She takes good photos, is wonderfully calm and kind, and is a pleasure to spend time with!

Working with her was great because my wife and I felt comfortable asking Gail different requests on how we wanted our family photos at the wedding to go, and she catered to all of our needs.

Marius and Raluca are patient and creative, and easily come up with ideas on how to work with our sometimes non-cooperative kids! And he always manages to get the really great shots.

I met Sara at her studio for a "quick" interview to go over all the questions I had and to see if she was the right fit for our wedding....2 hours later I left feeling soooo comfortable, as if I just met a friend for coffee. She answered all my questions, and we even talked shop for awhile. She flew out to our island destination wedding and covered our 3 day event. She and her husband (her assistant) quickly immersed themselves, and several people that she was my friend and invited to the wedding. Usually behind the camera, she made me feel very comfortable taking pictures. Needless to say, she took some stunning pictures and captured the moments every bride, groom and family would want. We find ourselves looking at the pictures all the time. We have sooo many amazing pictures, that I seriously don't know which ones to print. Sara, was by far the best investment we had and without her, we wouldn't be able to go back and remember those precious moments of our wedding. Thank you!!! :)

Well she was the first photographer we interviewed and there was no way that I was going to choose anybody else. She really takes care of you.

I can't see very many photographers/companies doing that at all. I like the fact that she worked with us on figuring out our package. I will definitely come back for photos. She made us both feel very comfortable and made us laugh a lot. BOOK HER ASAP!!!!!
