What's included in the package is made unclear, so I never got what I expected.

Had he told me this at the time of the shoot, we would have done something differently to get photos without me there in the background. Not cool.

It felt out of my comfort zone, something I had never done before. But after hearing from friends that I might regret not capturing this moment, I decided to start searching for a photographer. I came across many different artists online, but Sri's portfolio immediately stood out. His photography style is artistic, natural, and unique--nothing felt overly posed or awkward. I was already approaching my third trimester, so time was limited. Thankfully, Sri responded quickly and guided me through the entire process. He explained what to bring, what to expect, and assured me that most of the wardrobe and accessories would be available at the studio. We scheduled the shoot two weeks later with Sri and his talented makeup artist, Laura. When I arrived, I was nervous and unsure, but those feelings quickly disappeared. Both Sri and Laura made me feel completely at ease. Laura styled my hair into soft waves and gave my skin a beautiful, radiant glow, while Sri patiently walked me through the session step-by-step. Sri has an incredible eye for detail and a clear passion for his craft. He was attentive, energetic, and never rushed the process. Even when I needed time to find the right pose, he remained patient and encouraging, always focused on capturing the perfect shot. The final photos exceeded all my expectations--they are stunning and filled with emotion. I'm so grateful I stepped out of my comfort zone and trusted Sri with this experience. He even made sure I had a beautifully edited photo ready in time for my baby shower just one week later. This photoshoot has become one of the most meaningful memories of my pregnancy, and I wholeheartedly recommend Sri to anyone looking for a photographer. He not only incredibly talented but also kind, professional, and deeply passionate about what he does.

She hadn't planned on doing a shoot for herself and I wanted to make sure she had something beautiful to look back on to remember the moment. It was important to find someone who would make her feel comfortable while also delivering truly stunning maternity pictures-- and Sri exceeded all expectations. From my first call with him, Sri was warm, professional, and incredibly straightforward about pricing, deliverables, and the entire process. He made everything seamless, even arranging hair and makeup. When I introduced Sri to my sister, he was just as kind and reassuring, which instantly put her at ease. The maternity photo shoot itself was an amazing experience. Sri's studio is in a great location and offers the privacy that was important for my sister to feel relaxed. Throughout the session, Sri brought great energy and took the time to understand how my sister wanted to see herself in the photos. His expertise in artistic photography really came through-- his use of light is masterful, creating simple yet powerful images that perfectly capture this special moment. I found Sri by searching online for photographers in Chicago, and I'm so grateful I did. If you're looking for a talented, professional, and thoughtful Chicago maternity photographer, Sri is the one to book!

After that, I tried to contact him several times to follow up both via email and phone. I left several voicemail messages in the ensuing weeks, but he never returned any of the phone calls. Plus, time was running out to find someone new. Our wedding is in less than a week and Christopher is MIA. We can't find a replacement. Horrible! Thanks a lot Christopher! Maybe some day you will get around to reading these reviews and realize how badly you dropped the ball and let us down.

Wedding Event Review…read more I found Mio Forte on Yelp, and was very thankful that we did! We are very happy with our experience with Jorge (owner of Mio Forte). He was very responsive, punctual, professional, and captured some amazing moments from our wedding. Package: We picked the "Il Tipico (The Typical)" package and added the cinematography ad-on (3-4 minute video summary of the wedding). The package covered 6 hours of continuous photography throughout the wedding. Photos: We had a few typical wedding "poses" prior and after the ceremony. However, my favorite photos are the photojournalistic ones that captured real moments. Video summary: The video summary was so amazing! Jorge took some wonderful video clips throughout the wedding day, and put it together into a cool video for us. We preferred this to hiring a full videography since we did not want to watch 5 hours of footage LOL. Thank you, Jorge, for capturing our special day!

Not only is his work stunning, but he is just such a lovely individual all around and it was natural! We talked as if we knew each other for years. My fiancé and I were so nervous and he guided us with each picture he snapped. We cannot express just how grateful we are to have had him. We cannot wait to do future business with you.

Our first meeting at Soho House Chicago was very relaxed and very nonintimidating. We just looked over Peter's work while sipping on some cocktails. After the meeting was over we felt like we were hanging out with an old friend and decided Peter was who we were going to choose. Our second meeting was for our engagement photos which were taken on the Chicago lakefront and then after a change of outfits we moved onto more photos on the bridges over the river and along the river. The photos came back very quickly and we were extremely happy and now excited for the outcome of our wedding photos. We got married at the London House Chicago on 10/13/18. Peter had a team 3 people with him. We spent about 2 hours walking the locations near the venue and also capturing epic pictures in the cupola overlooking the entire city. When the ceremony started, Peter and his team stayed with us all the way until midnight. It was fun for our guests to have access to all of the photos captured on the GIF booth through a link sent via text message to every guest. Within a few weeks later, we received an entire photo album sent via email. The photos are awesome and it solidified us making the right choice in choosing Peter and his team! Kevin and Mari

I'm not exaggerating when I say I spent over 6 months looking, researching and interviewing photographers until I finally found Studio Finch. From the moment we first met Jason & Ela we loved them. They are just great people and totally down to earth. They answered all of our questions and made us feel at ease. Now, onto the actual photos...I can't tell you how absolutely AMAZING our photos are. We got married 2 years ago and people still comment online about how fantastic our photos are and want to know who our photographers were. I had sent Ela a bunch of shots we wanted to re-create with our wedding party and they did every last shot and they came out exactly like we wanted. They trudged through old barns, cow manure, mud, dirt and grime to get our shots. Not too many photographers would do that!!! Not only did they do it, they suggested most of those shots! Bottom line is, they are just fantastic. You get 2 incredible photographers with 2 different sets of eyes and styles when you book them. They will go above & beyond to capture the magic of your day and smile while doing it. I've since recommend them to multiple people who have used them for their weddings and they just rave about how fantastic they were and how incredibly happy they are with their photos.

When I finally got around to rescheduling, we did a longer session with just the baby. It was an adventure in the park with a grabby baby... I was quite worried that we'd be in another "no good photos" situation. On the contrary, Beth delivered 20+ pictures (with baby food spills edited out) that I just can't get enough of! She was a miracle worker! I will absolutely hire Beth for photo sessions again in the future. She was easy to work with, very relaxed, and great at really capturing "us" in the photos.
