We hired Andrew to photograph our wedding and are incredibly pleased with his services and grateful…read morefor his professionalism and flexibility. First the basics - we looked at a few other photographers and we did not find anyone that compares on cost. It wasn't even close. So it was affordable to work with Andrew, but also very smooth. He met with us in person three times and I am sure would have more had we asked. He was very responsive to emails and never set a limit of the number of contacts, which is something we have heard other vendors do. Andrew is personable, intelligent and very easy to work with. My wife and I also relied heavily on our vendors for advice on how to structure the wedding evening - they are the pros after all - and Andrew was always game for giving us advice on what works best. When we returned from our honeymoon Andrew had setup a Flickr account for us to see all of our photos. The quality is outstanding. The quantity is huge. And he gave us full rights to the photos. We could not have asked for a better experience with Andrew.

We used Andrew for our June 2010 wedding in Chicago. I cannot recommend him enough - he is…read moreextremely professional and reliable, takes gorgeous pictures and is a fantastic alternative to all the "Big Box" wedding photography options out there, and all at an incredibly price. We received all our photos within four weeks of our wedding, had full digital rights, and were able to share them with our family and friends while the memories were still fresh. The photos were so great that we opted not to use any of the retouching he had included in our package. Andrew is also extremely pleasant to work with because he has a friendly, low-key personality. We felt like he really understood what we wanted and did not try to "sell" us on anything.

Bride's Thoughts: Our experience with Eric O'Connor was more than we could have hoped for. From the…read morefirst moment that I actually met Eric (when my fiancé proposed) I knew I was in good hands. He exudes compassion, understanding and knowledge. This is important to a bride! He took our proposal, engagement and wedding pictures...and we've been so happy with them all. Eric is dependable, organized and SO personable. Our wedding party, particularly the girls, raved about how Eric handled things. I must have thought that Eric's ways were the norm, but I was informed from my closest and most trusted friends that Eric was extraordinary and even was told "I wish I had a photographer like him." As a bride, you want to be sure you are in trusted hands. He carried the train of my dress many times, gave my girls tips on how to stand to look their best, joked with us and made us all at ease. Not to mention he cleans up nice, and cares about his appearance on the day that you REALLY care about yours! Luckily, my husband and I live near Eric because he came over to our home to go through our pictures and put together our wedding album. However, I'd have to assume he'd have done this even if we lived far away, that is just the kind of guy he is. We settled on our pictures, just received our album and we are smitten with it! As are our parents, who got miniature albums, too. :) Groom's Thoughts: My personal experience with Eric was a little different. I knew Eric prior to hiring him as our photographer. But I knew from the start of working with him on the proposal pictures he was a good match for my fiancé (now wife). Organized, professional, and very perceptive of his client's needs. He takes the time to explain how best to take shots in a professional way, but always truly listens to what you want. Watching how calm my wife was during all of the photography was amazing and I owe much of that to Eric's demeanor with her. He put her at ease by helping and directing her at the right times. Additionally, he was extremely helpful with anything we needed outside of just photography - helping my wife bustle her dress, giving bridesmaids pointers on how to help, keeping us on time, etc. Additionally, for me it means a lot when you team up with the right people to create an amazing experience. While Eric was focused on my extremely beautiful wife (aka hottest girl in the world), he teamed up with another photographer who was perfect for working with me and the rest of the groomsmen. Funny, relaxed yet still organized and on-point, Robb was more than I would have expected. He made our day easy, and more importantly got the right/best pictures. With that said, Eric deserves the utmost compliments. I would definitely recommend him for your wedding, or any event! Bride and Groom's Thoughts: We love Eric and if you are lucky enough to have him photograph your special day, you won't be sorry!

I actually used two shots (one of my bouquet with all its vibrant colors and another of my husband and I dancing our first dance as a married couple) as wall art in our home.

Its been three years since our wedding over Thanksgiving week 2008 and my brother is now wanting to get him scheduled for a wedding in 2013! He and his fiance are STILL talking about how great our album and photos turned out. Allori Photography is the ONLY way to go.

If you're reading this review then you've already discovered Robert's website and will know that…read morehis style of wedding photography and the quality of his work is great! Our daughter got married in Chicago and we live in Florida so it was very complicated to find somebody that we would like. We couldn't really rely on recommendations because we didn't know anybody there. Also to be perfectly honest we didn't want to spend more than $3000 on the photography. Being that the wedding was in downtown Chicago, everybody that I talk to before finding Robert was very stuck up and very very pricey. When I looked at Roberts work on his website I was absolutely amazed by the pictures that he would take. They were not traditional wedding pictures where you have everybody just lined up, they were pictures of the moments, pictures of the things that were actually happening. Just by looking at those pictures you could imagine what was going on at those weddings. His photographs tell a story and capture the most natural shots possible. For us, this was very important. Robert was very courteous and was able to cover the day without being obtrusive while at the same time being in the right place at the right time. We had many compliments about him from our guests. When I was hiring Robert I wanted to hire two photographers for my daughter's wedding every single moment would be captured. He tried to assured me that I would not need two photographers because of the size of her wedding. We had 80 people. I was still skeptical but he did say that he would have his assistant with him so I decide to go I and just hire him. Well, he was right! He was able to cover everything! Bride's preparations, groom's preparation, me being stressed out :), maid of honor helping, bride drinking a glass of champagne.... Everything that you want to remember from your wedding. All the candid shots, people dancing, drinking, eating... Everything! Most importantly my daughter is little shy and does not like taking pictures, so the way that Robert did this was just amazing. She felt so comfortable with him that I now am such a happy mom looking at her beautiful pictures. Thank you Robert for making my daughter's day so special.

We couldn't be happier with our experience with H Photography and Doru! From our very first…read moremeeting, Doru impressed us with his professionalism, warmth, and genuine interest in getting to know us as a couple. He took the time to understand our wedding photography vision--what moments mattered most to us, what style we loved, and how we wanted the day to feel in photos. That level of personal attention meant so much and made the entire process--from our engagement session to the big day--feel seamless and enjoyable. Doru's expertise in journalistic photography perfectly aligned with our desire for photos that felt real, emotional, and timeless. He has a rare gift for capturing the in-between moments--the laughter, the quiet glances, the joy on our guests' faces. Every image feels alive, and our photos tell the full story of the day in such an authentic and beautiful way. Our engagement session was a great preview of what was to come. Doru helped us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, which really shows in the natural, relaxed photos we received. On our wedding day, he was everywhere without ever being intrusive--present, perceptive, and always ready to capture a meaningful moment. The final product was beyond anything we imagined. The photos themselves are stunning, and the leather-bound photo album he created is a true work of art. Flipping through its pages brings back every emotion from our wedding day--it's something we'll treasure forever. If you're looking for a photographer who listens, understands your vision, and brings it to life with artistry and heart, we wholeheartedly recommend H Photography and Doru. His experience, creativity, and genuine care shine through in every single photo, and we're so grateful for the memories he preserved for us.

As you can…read moreimagine, I was extremely nervous not only to propose but also to make sure the pictures captured the moment. The day of the session, Claudia made sure to discretely take photos of us prior to, during, and after the proposal. I was so happy with how everything turned out.

He helped immensely with my timeline as well. James was our engagement shoot photographer and immediately we felt at ease and connected with him. He did a good job having us pose in ways that didn't make us feel awkward, and scoped out scenery and led us through our shoot. During our final planning session, they helped me find an alternate photo location as the one I booked needed a permit and I couldn't get it in time. They took the stress off me and for that I'm so grateful! On our day, we had James and David. Both were amazing and we got along so well. David helped wrangle our groomsmen and James worked with the bridesmaids and it was perfect! We are so happy. You won't regret booking with them! So so happy with our decision!

I wanted warm, bright, candid, photos with an edgy urban feel all at the same time. Alain and his partner Sonce delivered beyond our expectations, and to say I'm obsessed with our pictures is an understatement! We decided to have Alain shoot our engagement pics first, which was the perfect warm up for my camera-shy husband. He got comfortable in front of the camera and more importantly familiar with Alain, which I now know translates into how natural you look in pictures. On wedding day, we had so much fun with Alain and Sonce...it didn't feel like we had "photographers following us around all day", but more like friends capturing all the special moments and making us laugh the whole way through. Alain is an expert with natural lighting, and our pictures with the sun setting over our venue, family, and friends are some of my favorites. I was extra thankful to receive a healthy dose of previews shortly after the wedding, which were beautifully edited. The full package was delivered professionally and very well organized for sharing, downloading, and printing. I highly recommend Found Light Studios and the talented Alain for your special day!

Probably the most amazing and kind photographers you'll ever meet. I can honestly say that…read morephotography was one of my highest priorities and am thrilled that I was able to book Gina + Tony. Over the wedding planning process you may hear that the vendors you chose are so important. This is spot on... and I know you are juggling budget/style/etc., but the connection you have to your photographer is hugely important. Not only were they an absolute breeze to work with, but professional, cool and kind. Gina even made sure I looked my very best with her dress skills and expertise on attire - bustling the train, etc. Tony had a great attitude the whole time and gives the best directions for the legit shot. Both are totally calm and helpful in every way. G+T have uncanny talent and constantly make you look great. Whether it's finding the best light for you and your partner, or standing in the rain for the perfect shot (Thanks Tony). And, on top of it all -- they are just a really cool couple of cats to boot. Genuine and talented - this duo is THE photographer to book. 100% heartfelt recommendation for G+T.

There were so many beautiful photos! He gave us a batch of 10 photos the same night so that we could share the news with our loved ones! Love the quick turnaround. The full set of photos came within a week! This was one of the most important moments of my life and I'm glad Kenny was there to document it. I also really enjoyed the blog post that he made documenting the photoshoot. I also appreciated that he made an Instagram post which made it easy for us to share the news on Instagram too. Take a look at his photos and you can see for yourself! I highly recommend him for any proposals, engagements, and weddings in the Chicago area!
