We went to the beach and he was able to find spots without crowds - our photos look like we had the entire beach to ourselves! He welcomed suggestions from us and suggested a variety of nice poses, using everything possible as different backgrounds. He was very easy-going and very helpful for us first-time photography customers. We were able to view a sample of our photos on his website right away and can't wait to frame these for our home. We'll absolutely go to him for any future photography.

I CANNOT say enough good things about John and Lauren! They were the photographers for both our…read moreengagement shoot and our wedding and they literally missed not a single shot! I don't think my husband or I, or any one of our family members for that matter, will consider another set of photographers ever! Their attention to detail and absolute patience in dealing with everyone made our entire day the very best it could be! These two are total class acts and I'm almost afraid to write this, because I'm afraid they will be much harder to book for next time! John and Lauren are WAY underpriced for the quality and professionalism they exemplify and I can say that because we interviewed 15 photographers for the job!

Our wedding was in November 2015 our contract said that we would have our DVD in 4-12 weeks and 32 weeks later we got the DVD with a ton of issues spelling and the video itself. When we asked him about it he said it was because he was trying to get it done and "in a haste" he made mistakes. On top of that when we first approached him to fix the video he told me there were no recuts. Then when it came time to do our album we went from having unlimited pages to 10 with a max of 3 photos per page. We reviewed the contract and non of what he said was in there. For the money there are MUCH better photography companies out there!

We would highly recommend Steve and Crystal Lake Pictures after working with them on our engagement…read morephotos. They were professional but kept it light and made it such an enjoyable day. We didn't know exactly what we wanted to end up with, but they worked with us to come up with a plan to take advantage of the day and make sure we got some sunshine and some night shots, close-ups and candids. With just the right amount of coaching and encouragement, we ended up with a wide variety of shots that beautifully captured our surroundings and how thrilled we are to be engaged! They also did a great job with the package that we ordered, with brilliant custom printing and special touches like the personalized custom wood USB drive and box. All in all we were really happy with the whole experience. Thanks again!

Choosing…read moreher as our wedding photographer was the best and easiest decision we made during this wedding planning process. She is kind, fun, a ray of sunshine & knows all the right poses/angles! We hired Kelly back in October of 2019 and we decided to postpone our May 2021 wedding to June 2022 and Kelly was a huge help in doing that! We actually based our new date on her availability to ensure we wouldn't lose her. We had a mini-ceremony on our May 2021 date and Kelly came to photograph it for us and the photos are truly magical and phenomenal. Over 500 photos just from a 2 hour mini-ceremony and we are having the hardest time deciding on which to frame - we love them ALL! We can not wait for Kelly to be part of our big wedding next year as well! I recommend Kelly to EVERYONE I meet that is looking for a photographer. You will NOT regret having Kelly be part of your special day

Time for a review update!!…read more My husband and I hired Artist European to shoot our wedding. This was one of the best decisions that we've ever made -- Gerda and Barb are absolute rockstars. Not only are they rockstar photographers but they are also super sweet and incredible to work with. I've been in several weddings and have witnessed several wedding photographers do their thing. I think what really sets Gerda apart is her creativity, enthusiasm and passion. During our wedding day there was never a dull moment. She constantly thinks of new and creative shots and had us, our bridal parties and our families laughing and smiling the entire time. On your wedding day the last thing that you want to do is ask for certain shots (it's so hard to think). Luckily, we had Gerda there to help create every perfect shot. Post wedding we had our preview in less than one day and our USB was ready in less than two weeks. We have nearly 4,000 photos to choose from which is amazing. Photos are obviously one of the most important parts of the wedding day and I am so glad that we worked with Gerda and Barb. They book out far in advance and I truly feel lucky that they were able to shoot our wedding!

His ability to work with people creates a comfortable and collaborative atmosphere in which subjects are at ease. I have worked with Russ on many photo shoots and observed how his enjoyment of the work and his subjects comes through in his photographs. His seemingly limitless ability to find new perspectives creates photos that are unique and engaging.

Russ arrived early and started shooting immediately, capturing the arrival of guests and the decorative details of the event before they were disturbed. Without being distracting or demanding, he took beautiful portraits and action shots, endearing himself to our guests, taking special requests graciously, and, most importantly, making sure every aspect of the event - and every guest - was caught on film. As the night wound down, Russ took extra care to make sure there were no additional requests and the subjects - my parents - were completely satisfied. In less than a week, the photos were posted online and the DVDs put in the mail. Over 250 of them! Russ clearly enjoys what he does and his jovial demeanor instantly puts his subjects at ease. His years of experience working as a photojournalist give him the calm confidence that he will get the shots he needs and the skill to do it, even in difficult shooting conditions. We would highly recommend Russ for your next event. By the end of the night, he will feel like family! --The Casianos, Chicago, IL
