Amazing photos for a great price!…read more My wife and I started using Cassidy (actually my wife's sister) as our photographer when we lived in Illinois; were now in CA. We have both have seen Cassidy grow so much with her photography. Not only does she work hard at it but she has also taken classes for photography and photoshop/Lightroom! She comes highly recommended with tons of photos in her portfolio. She has taken pictures of my wife and I and has now started taking pictures of our daughter Addison, who is now 3 months old. She also has great advice on how to pose so you don't look awkward and worked so patiently with our daughter! (Her niece) If you are looking for a great photographer to grow with your family or even to take pictures of family pets - Cassidy is a great choice.

Sam was the photographer for our July 2009 wedding. He was wonderful to work with: professional,…read morecourteous, patient, a good listener and a true creative genius. To say our pictures exceeded our expectations would be a gross understatement. They were amazing - breathtaking and beautiful, classy and inventive. The special effects he did to some of the shots were fantastic and unlike anything I've seen from other wedding photographers. He was so easy to work with from the beginning, planning stages through the delivery of our album and picture cd and everything in between. Countless friends and family have complimented us on his work, many commenting they wish THEY had used him for their wedding. You can tell from his work that he is more than a photographer, he is an artist. We took many fun pictures around the city - the lakefront, el stops, Wrigley, our favorite neighborhood bar, and they all turned out so well. I never felt "posed" and the way he used the landscape and architecture of the locations to frame out the pictures and tell our story was great. We didn't even hire a videographer, because we knew his pictures would tell the story better than any video ever could. Thank you Sam, for giving us something we'll cherish for life!

They also ask for what you want, because it is your day, and let you know what you may want to add. If you are able to use Justine, you should definitely do it. I have looked at my friends' wedding albums, and are constantly comparing them to mine, and find that the photography exceeds all other work.

Nick did a wonderful job photographing our June wedding. He was very accommodating when we had to…read morechange the date of our wedding (we were married on Fathers Day). He worked closely with us to capture all those special moments. His lovely wife, Kate, joined him in taking additional photos for us (at no extra charge), thus capturing moments that may not have otherwise been captured in photos. His pricing was unbelievably reasonable compared to what other photographers quoted us for our special day. Thank you Nick and Kate for all the exceptional photos that we'll cherish for years to come!

I recently had a maternity photoshoot with Kathryn Jean Photography and it was a wonderful…read moreexperience! Katie was so friendly, picked out two gorgeous dresses, and a fabulous location. She made me feel extremely comfortable as she guided me on how to stand, where to look, where to place my hands, etc. All I had to do was show up and smile. She is very prompt in sending back proof photos and final edited images as well. I highly recommend her!

Where to start... When I first met with Cassie I had already pretty much decided on a different…read morephotographer, but I thought why not meet with her just to make sure, and by the end of our meeting I was totally sold. She is so kind, professional, organized and I just immediately felt like we were long time friends. She responds so quickly and made the planning process so seamless and easy. When I shared some of my insecurities (things I didn't want to see in my wedding photos) she gave me advice and instructions on how to minimize them which is exactly what a photographer should do and it was SO appreciated. My husband and I are not exactly models and I wasn't too sure how a shoot would go considering taking photos is not one of his favorite past times... LOL. When I tell you I was shocked at how much fun we had I mean it! We did our engagement shoot at Cantigny and my husband and I had a great time, it went by so fast and the pictures are just *chef's kiss.* She was amazing at commanding large groups of people and handling some tricky family situations during our wedding. I would and will recommend her to everyone for any photos they need, she is also SO fast at getting them sent out to you! I have absolutely nothing less than amazing to say about her and I am so grateful that she was our wedding photographer. Thank you Cassie!!!

We used Fausto Anthony Films to document our wedding day, and we couldn't be happier with the…read moreresults. From the very beginning, Tony impressed us with his professionalism, his patience with our many questions, and most importantly his passion for what he does. In choosing a videographer, we wanted to walk away with something different than the standard recording of the ceremony and reception. Upon a recommendation from a friend, we contacted Tony to set up a consultation, and immediately realized that the service Fausto Anthony Films provides is exactly what we were looking for in a wedding video. Instead of a long bland video, Tony crafted the raw footage to create a compelling and incredibly emotional encapsulation of our wedding day. Tony and his assistant were both very subtle and respectful while they were shooting and did not interfere with or distract from the events of the day at all. During the few posed shots they had us do, they were very professional and patient in their direction of us. During the post-production phase, Tony and his team organized and edited our wedding video in a meaningful and honest way. He is incredibly talented in his work! From the few staged shots and multitude of candid clips, our wedding video is full of beautiful details and raw emotions that capture the essence of our wedding day perfectly. We had our doubts that the spirit and emotion of our special day could be summed up in a relatively short video, but this is exactly what Tony and his team did. We would absolutely work with Fausto Anthony Films again and recommend them to anyone looking for an expressive and original way of capturing their big day.
