She provided very poor communication. She never reached out to me via phone call even when I repeatedly asked to discuss the date for my photo shoot via email, text, and voicemails. I ended up having to cancel and get a refund the day of my photo shoot due to poor communication. I would not trust her with your valuable family time. read more

Brittany was amazing, capturing incredible photos of my family which included my 5 grandsons ages 6, 4, 3, 1 and 6 months. She cleverly kept them engaged for an hour, creating beautiful memories for us. She captured the joy and connection of each family and all of us together. She was professional, fun and creative. We received our gallery in 3 weeks and all of us were thrilled with the results. Thank you Brittany! read more

Brittany is just the best. My husband and I used her for our wedding 6 years ago and have stayed in touch ever since. We absolutely loved our wedding photos and the album we created with Brittany - so much so that my husband and I make it a tradition every year on our anniversary to look at it! When we found out we were expecting a baby, we knew Brittany had to be the photographer to capture this next milestone in our lives. Brittany is organized, punctual, thoughtful and incredibly talented in her planning and execution. She even went out of her way to gift us something for our baby boy - a testament to the type of person she is. You seriously cannot go wrong by choosing Brittany as your photographer for your next life milestone!! read more

I found Brittany a few years ago through Instagram and knew she would be the perfect beach photographer for our family photos. Her style is light & airy and she captured the beauty of the beach along with the personality of each person! Fast forward to a few years later and we were in town for the holidays and I knew I wanted updated photos with our 16 month old. Brittany was so easy to work with and went above and beyond with communication and back up plans in case the weather was bad... and this was 2 days after Christmas!!! She made us feel so at ease and captured us in our natural habitat just playing with our daughter on the beach. I was sweating and stressed that our daughter wasn't doing what we asked and thought she would have a tough time with good shots of her while she was running around! Boy was I wrong!! She took the most beautiful candid photos of our entire family and saw the details that we love so much -- our daughters curly hair, silly, snuggly personality and some special moments between mama and baby that aren't usually captured. Thank you, Brittany for bottling up this age for us with your beautiful work! read more

Where do I begin with Brittany? She has captured so many memories for us so when it came to family photos for our holiday card, it was a no brainer! I have to admit, I left our session nervous that they wouldn't turn out okay (our 1 year old was teething and cranky). But somehow, Brittany managed to capture the most magical moments that made it difficult to choose just one photo! Brittany is our go-to photographer for everything! Engagement photos to family photos, she does it all with style & grace! We adore her and hope to continue to document momentous occasions with her for years to come! read more

I am back to sing Brittany's praises once again as she just did our family photo session (previously shooting engagement and wedding for us). She is extremely professional and makes everything feel comfortable and natural. Bad weather came our way for our originally scheduled session but she was able to quickly fit us in just a few days later and I'm so glad because I'm in love with the final product. I can't recommend her enough and can't wait to work with her again with our family! *bonus points for lot of baby smiles and dog distractions read more

Brittany is an artist. Truly, the photographs of family she takes are editorIal yet some how still capture all of the authentic moments of your family. She is one of the most professional people I know, yet makes you feel like a genuine friend behind her lens. We have been with her since our engagement photos and truly treasure our time with her and the then the stunning product. We are thinking of going to Florida simply to see her a) because we miss her b) because there is no one we trust more to bring beauty and light into our home. read more

Not only is Brittany Bekas amazingly talented, but she is so accommodating and such a joy to work with!! I initially booked Brittany (after an exhaustive search!) in January 2020 to do a springtime lifestyle session for my family. After booking, I got pregnant and COVID hit. Brittany was so flexible and offered to refund or postpone the shoot until I felt comfortable. I chose to postpone the session until the fall, and I am so glad I did! Brittany came to our house for a newborn session, and the whole experience was great. She is so fun, friendly and professional (and was happy to wear a mask the entire time, due to COVID). She is great with kids and was able to capture the sweetest pics of my very active toddler son and newborn daughter. I will definitely use Brittany for all of our family photos going forward and cannot recommend her enough! read more

Where do I even begin!? We have had Brittany photograph numerous milestones in our lives. From our wedding to our maternity shoot to most recently our first set of family photos. Each and every time we have hired Brittany, she amazes me at how effortlessly she captures each member of our family, including our dog! The day she sends the photos for review feels like Christmas morning- no joke! There are always handfuls upon handfuls of photos that I just LOVE and want to frame. I cannot recommend her more! read more

Brittany Bekas is AMAZING!! She is so talented & photographs the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen. She photographed our wedding last month with her assistant (who was also lovely). She was very responsive & friendly the second we started working together. She was so flexible with us & traveled 2.5 hours for our wedding! She is super informative with details / tips and keeps you organized with her emails and worksheets. The day of the wedding, she was on top of everything! She kept us on schedule & made sure to capture all the pictures we requested. Her bubbly personality made everyone feel super comfortable when being photographed. After the wedding, she was so quick to get us our special pictures back. Everything she does is so detail oriented & creative. I cannot say enough great things about her! We will definitely be hiring her again in the future :) read more

I had the pleasure of meeting Brittany this past summer when she photographed my twin sister's bachelorette party brunch. It was so important to me that my sister be able to take her memories from the day with her and Brittany captured the light, colors, and love at the brunch beautifully.

If you're trying to decide to book Brittany, DO IT! Brittany was the first photographer we met, and we were sold for our 2016 wedding! My husband, who usually lets me do all the talking and sits quietly, was jumping in making comments during our meeting - a surefire way to know he felt comfortable. The ease and enjoyment of working with Brittany continued throughout our engagement session, wedding, getting our photos (very quickly!) and finalizing our album. Brittany did such a wonderful job designing our album. My hubs and I were both pretty uncomfortable going into our engagement session, but Brittany was able to mask that with her direction. We ended up having a fun time, and having the engagement session made us comfortable going into the Big Day. On our wedding day, it was a joy to have Brittany and her assistant Nicole with us. Brittany was very flexible and helpful. It is also great to help support a small, female-owned business, particularly when you like and respect the owner. Brittany's services are worth the cost, and it's fun to think that we may have helped fund one of her amazing trips abroad. Looking forward to doing a mini-session with Brittany in the future with our puppy. We'll be sure to check with Brittany for any photography-related needs in the future. read more

Our experience working with Brittany was fantastic. We knew at our first meeting in her super cute studio that she needed to photograph our engagement photos and wedding. Brittany is incredibly talented...our engagement and wedding photos are STUNNING. Our family and friends are all in awe of the sweet moments she was able to capture. She even puts together a super cute sneak peek slideshow video for both which is just lovely! She got us our entire wedding gallery in less than two weeks (!!!). Her work is gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. Brittany is also incredibly sweet...she absolutely goes above and beyond. She is super detail oriented, a logistics maven, so energetic yet calming and just a great photographer and person overall. Can we also talk about her response time? Oh my goodness, her replies are almost instantaneously and always so thoughtful and helpful. I cannot thank her enough for that - I have trusted her since day one and never had a shadow of doubt in working with her. She honestly makes you feel like you are the only bride in the world. Frankly, I'm a little sad the wedding is over because that also means this chapter of working with Brittany has closed. If you are looking for a wedding photographer - run, don't walk to booking Brittany - you will not regret it! We cannot recommend Brittany and her talents enough. read more

I love Brittany! I'm so glad that she has become apart of our family. If I ever need any photography services, she is my go to girl! Anyone can take a picture, but Brittany has that eye! Every time I look at my pictures, I feel like I am back at the moment. The lighting and the background she gets it exactly right! She has great energy! She loves what she does! I recommend Brittany for all your photography needs! read more

We had a great experience with Brittany! We wanted our first family shoot for our daughter's first birthday and Brittany made us all feel super comfortable and at ease right from the start! She was super flexible and patient with us. Would highly recommend and would certainly work with Brittany again! read more

We have worked with Brittany a couple times for family photos and I couldn't love the pictures any more than I do. We got a sweet sneak peak slideshow days after and I honestly got teary eyed because what she was able to capture was amazing. Our 2 toddlers loved her and felt so at ease- which you can tell by the photos. The entire process working with Brittany was easy..She's quick to respond to any questions or concerns you may have which is so important. She's detailed oriented, professional, creative and just fun to work with. I look forward to working with her in the future and I highly recommend her! read more

Brittany was WONDERFUL to work with, throughout the entire wedding planning process - from engagement photos to getting our full wedding album!

We have hired Brittany for our engagement photos, wedding photos, and now maternity photos, and every time she exceeds our expectations. Brittany strikes the perfect balance of organized professionalism while also being a kind and caring human being to work with. You can tell she is super passionate about her work, and it shows in her gorgeous photography. We even have a 'wall of Brittany' in our home that showcases all our special moments she has photographed! Cannot recommend her enough, she is a joy to work with. read more

Brittany was the first vendor we hired for our wedding because pictures were extremely important to us. She came highly recommended from friends and she did not disappoint. Our engagement photography session was so much fun! It was freezing and windy, but Brittany made it fun and made us feel comfortable the entire time. Our wedding day finally arrived and Brittany was extremely efficient. We had so many pictures to get on a tight schedule, and we got them all thanks to Brittany. She went above and beyond her role as a photographer in so many ways. During our first look, I got a mosquito bite that was making my arm red and swollen. Some groomsmen went to a pharmacy to get Benadryl cream and the second photographer working with Brittany applied the cream to my arm to take down the swelling. Then Brittany edited the bite out of all of our pictures. Brittany was on my side 100% of the time, even when that meant respecting when I needed a moment when the heat/posing for pictures became too much. Lastly, Brittany worked with us to create a beautiful album filled with intimate moments she captured through her camera lens. She is extremely talented and wonderful to work with. I can't wait to recommend Brittany to all of my friends when they are ready. read more

I cannot say enough nice things about Brittany. She was helpful, flexible, professional, and overall just absolutely wonderful to work with. She even finished our album weeks early and all the photos are outstanding! So glad we found her! read more

We can't really put into words how great our experience with Brittany was. From planning our engagement shoot to pictures at the church and our reception she was beyond helpful. Neither of us are very comfortable being the center of attention or in front of the camera, but Brittany made everything so easy and relaxed. We're so happy with how all of our pictures turned out. Brittany also helped every step of the way with suggestions on our reception timeline, order of our pictures, and general wedding planning. She was always responsive with our endless questions (not always picture related) and was easy to work with. ChoosingBrittany as our photographer was the best decision we made for our wedding! read more

Brittany photographed our wedding ceremony in July 2011. Brittany was everywhere she needed to be to get the shot, but without getting in the way or drawing attention. She has a great eye for catching those special candid moments and we look forward to admiring the amazing photos she captured for years to come. I would definitely recommend Brittany Bekas. read more

We had Brittany do my wife's maternity photos. She was great she had plenty of ideas and really took her time. The finished pictures were A+++ quality and she made the entire process fun. Additionally she gives you a zip drive so you can print as many photos as you like unlike many other photographers that charge you by the print. She is a true professional and will ensure you are satisfied with your photos. We liked her so much we had her come back to do our baby announcement photos. Baby's don't always cooperate so Brittany had to come back 3 separate times to get the shots we wanted. She was patient understanding and wonderful to work with. We plan on having her come back to do our baby's 1 year photos. I highly recommend her. C and A read more

Amazing photos and even more amazing person. She made our engagement and wedding photos look easy (when I know they couldn't have been). Brittany and her team were so easy to work with and absolutely knew their stuff. Our family and friends can't believe how beautifully our photos capture our day. read more

We loved having Brittany as our photographer for our wedding this past June. She is professional, talented, and amazing to work with. We instantly felt comfortable in front of the camera thanks to her positive and sweet personality. Our engagement and our wedding photographs turned out absolutely beautifully. We highly recommend Brittany and will definitely be using her again in the future! read more

Brittany was a dream to work with! Not only was she incredibly accommodating and understanding when weather and work trips forced us to reschedule our session (multiple times), she was SO easy to work with and helpful before, during, and after our session was over. The day of our shoot our little one was a bit cranky, and not super smiley, and somehow Brittany was still able to capture our amazing photos! We will not hesitate to use her again and have recommended her to several people. Thanks Brittany! read more

Brittany is hands down one of the best photographers out there! The best part about her is her passion for getting great shots and her personality. She is so creative and captures every moment! Brittany did our wedding this past January in Riveria Maya Mexico and the shots were unbeliavable. My family and friends can not stop talking about her! And talk about a quick return of your photos! I had mine within weeks! I Highly recommend Brittany Bekas Photography! read more

I had initially reached out to Brittany after seeing the positive reviews on Yelp. Unfortunately, my experience wasn't great. She was somewhat unresponsive in scheduling appointments as well as late. I would have ignored the disorganization but then after the pictures of my fiance and I came out, they just didn't capture the moment like we would have liked. We ended up having to hire another photographer and doing the process over. read more

I don't normally write reviews but needed to here. My fiance and I have been fuming since our engagement shoot. Brittany showed up a half hour late to our shoot and accused us of having the wrong time! I don't know if she was out too late the night before but given her being late and how unable she was to pay attention, my fiance and I were convinced she was still drunk from the night before. Whether it was finding the right pose for us, the right shot or the right background, all of the pictures came out horribly. read more

What can I say about Brittany other than we LOVED working with her! She was my sister's photographer for her May 2016 wedding and I knew we needed to book her quickly for our wedding in September 2016. Brittany is extremely professional and very responsive. She provided us with so many useful materials that helped with pulling together everything that we needed to have a smooth wedding day. Her work is incredible and her pricing is competitive compared to other Chicagoland photographers. Not only did she provide incredible engagement and wedding day photos, but she also handled creating our wedding album and it turned out beautiful. My family has loved looking through it over and over again I highly recommend Brittany for your photographer for your wedding! read more

Brittany is wonderful! We have used her services twice now. Once got newborn/family pictures then again for Family Christmas pictures. She was very patient with our new born and the 90 degree plus heat. All our pictures turned out beautiful and will be treasured keepsakes for years. read more

I loved working with Brittany! She was professional, timely and has a great creative eye. It is obvious that she loves what she does both in her energy and her finished work. My fiance and I were very happy with our photos and would certainly recommend Brittany to our friends. We especially appreciated that Brittany went above and beyond to create a timeless slideshow for us that we can share with our friends and family since many live at a distance from us. read more

Brittany was our wedding photographer for our May 2015 wedding. We had so much fun doing engagement pictures with her as well! The weather was horrible on our wedding day and Brittany kept everyone happy and having fun regardless. Our pictures turned out amazing! Our family and friends were blown away! I highly recommend her as a wedding photographer!! read more

My wife and I were referred to Brittany by a friend. Also, after reading some reviews, we felt comfortable with our choice for a wedding photographer. Sadly we were a bit dismayed when she came to the wedding late and seemed to be somewhat disorganized. The pictures came out just ok - some were blurry and others were conventional. Pretty sure there are better photographers out there. read more

We found Brittany through yelp. Not to go through a lot detail, Brittany was disorganized and often rude to my husband and I. We weren't sure if she was just having an off day given all the positive reviews here. We ended up going with a different photographer last minute as we just didnt have a pleasent experience. read more
