Our engagement shoot was an absolute blast, and we ended up with really creative and colorful shots that captured our personalities 100%. Our wedding photos are 1 million times better than I ever could have imagined. I've been in many weddings and the photographers are usually so annoying and cheesy. Tuan was neither of these things. We basically gave him zero direction with what we wanted our photos to look like and left it up to his artistic creativity. Not only did we end up with gorgeous shots that I never would have thought of in a million years, We were able to enjoy our wedding without worrying if we got the millions of suggested photos on every single wedding website. Our photos were beautifully edited, delivered to us in a timely fashion, and well worth the money. Plus Tuan himself is a cool looking dude and everyone at our wedding kept talking about him and smiling whenever he walked around- so our guest shots are awesome too. If you are looking for an amazing photographer and you don't book Tuan- you're missing out.

I received the wrong digital print in my package--it was of some other child, not my daughter. After pointing out the mistake, I was then sent the wrong 5x7 print, which was already ridiculously overpriced. It's a shame to have such a disappointing outcome from what should have been a memorable event. The lack of attention to detail and a complete failure to deliver the correct product I paid for is unacceptable.

We had the honor of having Andrew photograph our wedding weekend in May. He started off with the Chinese rehearsal dinner at Yank Sing and also photographed our Wedding day which comprised of a morning "reveal" shoot, Chinese wedding tea ceremony, Persian Aghd and reception at the Golden Gate Club. Does that sound like a lot of work....YES! Andrew, did it all with a nice demeanor and a smile on his face, we really could not have asked for more. While I was interviewing many photographers, my in-laws and parents were a little concerned that certain moments and shots would not be captured by someone who may not be as familiar with both cultures, but after I met Andrew I didn't think anymore of it. I looked at his portfolio and knew that I could trust his style and eye for capturing the important moments. In fact I was reminded by my family to send him a sheet of must not miss moments, but of course with everything going on I had forgotten, no worries, Andrew got them all and even MORE than we could of thought. He truly captured the essence of our wedding and told a beautiful story of love, joy, laughter, celebration, family and culture all preserved within these photos. I will forever cherish them and am grateful that Andrew was there to capture them. Thank you Andrew! You must must must Hire Andrew! He's a PRO and a blast to work with.

From the very beginning, Colin went above and beyond in every possible way. He wasn't just our photographer--he became a trusted partner throughout the wedding planning process. He took the time to truly get to know us as a couple, starting with our engagement photoshoot a year before the wedding. He learned our personalities, our style, and the overall vibe we wanted for our wedding weekend. Leading up to the big day, he was incredibly responsive, helping us think through everything from rain plans to photo locations and even giving us guidance on poses that would make us look our best. His preparation and attention to detail made us feel completely confident that we were in great hands. Colin also attended our venue walkthrough and was actively involved in planning during the week of the wedding. It was clear that he had done his homework and genuinely cared about making our day special. His creative eye is second to none, and he constantly found unique opportunities for beautiful and memorable photos throughout the day. One of the biggest surprises was the incredible photo booth he generously provided. It was a huge hit with our guests! The setup was professional, the photos were high quality, the backdrop was beautiful, and his team member made the entire experience seamless and fun for everyone. On the wedding day, Colin brought the perfect energy. He was funny, laid-back, and easygoing, which helped reduce so much stress and allowed us to actually relax and have fun. He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and captured natural moments that never felt forced or overly posed. We also included our dog, Bagel, in our wedding photos, and Colin was amazing with him. He knew exactly how to engage him, keep his attention, and capture some of our favorite photos from the entire day. What truly sets Colin apart is how much he cares. Even after a full day of shooting, he stayed extra hours into the evening to capture additional creative photos and candid guest moments. One of our favorite examples of his dedication was when he tracked down pickleball paddles and balls so we could do a themed photoshoot with our pickleball-inspired seating chart and signage. The photos turned out absolutely adorable and became some of the most unique and memorable images from the entire wedding. It was such a thoughtful touch that perfectly reflected us as a couple. The photos themselves are stunning, but what we appreciate most is the experience Colin and his team created. They brought professionalism, creativity, enthusiasm, and genuine care to every interaction. We felt like they were just as invested in making our wedding day incredible as we were. We truly cannot say enough good things about Colin and the entire Love & Lyons Photography team. If you're looking for a photographer who is talented, creative, responsive, fun, and willing to go above and beyond in every way, stop searching and book Colin immediately. He is simply the best.

Hilarious, down-to-earth, professional while still being incredibly personable - what more could you want? We were instantly comfortable and couldn't wait to work with him. Leading up to our wedding, we had multiple conversations to review the shot list, photo locations, and what was most important to us in terms of photography. Colin listened, provided so many helpful ideas and created the perfect schedule for us. Day-of, Colin and Jim were simply the best. They make everyone feel comfortable and at ease, like we're all just hanging out together at the best party ever. They kept the wedding party on schedule, chatted it up with everyone, and caught every single important moment while somehow blending in to the background. Knowing they were there took away all my anxiety about getting the photos I wanted, and Colin served as a much-needed source of comfort and comic relief throughout the day. Finally, receiving our pictures was one of the best parts of the post-wedding months. The photos are STUNNING - exactly what we wanted to make the memories last forever. Every time I scroll through them, I can't help but grin from ear to ear. Thank you Colin, for preserving our wedding in the best way possible!

Cristina and her second-shooter, Konstantin, are beyond amazing…read more When we first started searching for a wedding photographer in Chicago, we were overwhelmed, as there are so many options. However, Cristina's portfolio quickly caught our attention. Specifically, we noticed her nighttime portraits and the excitement and energy that each one captured. I had never seen photos that were so beautiful. After speaking with her and looking over her packages, we knew that she was the one. There are so many wonderful things to say about Cristina, so this post will be a little long. But most importantly (to me), Cristina is incredibly responsive. Before and after the wedding, she responded to each of my emails within 24 hours, no matter how small or silly the question. She was always kind, straight-forward, and patient. A few months before our wedding, I saw in one of her Instagram posts that Cristina offers hybrid (film + digital) packages. Since our venue was very romantic and garden-esque, we knew that we wanted to benefit of both mediums. It was one of the best decisions that we made in the wedding planning process. Obviously, everyone knows that Cristina's digital images look as if they were taken straight out of a high fashion magazine, but to me, her film images are even more beautiful. She was able to capture such vibrant colors and soft images. I honestly can't stop staring them. Also, I can't imagine that our day would have run as smoothly with any other photographer. Cristina kept everyone on schedule. My day-of coordinator actually told us that she was one of the best photographers that she's worked with. After the wedding, we received so many photos, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that I love all of them. We have so many images perfect for printing and hanging, but she also captured our guests and our interactions with them. I think many people underestimate how meaningful those photos end up being. We are able to look back and see our family and friends enjoying themselves on the dance floor, and we weren't able to enjoy all of those moments on our wedding day, as we were so busy mingling. I look back at the photos, and they take me right back to that day. And finally, we ordered our wedding album and parent albums through Cristina. That process was seamless, and we are blown away by the quality of the albums. (I've actually had five people reach out to me to ask where I had them made.) If we had to do it again, we would choose Cristina and her team every time! They are simply the best of the best!

Last year, we did a family session with Mark. My husband was dreading the experience, but when he took our boys (4 and 2) to get pics of just the two of them, my husband was amazed.
