We are so incredibly lucky to have found Laura! If you are getting married, stop your search now!…read moreShe has such an incredible eye, and creates stunning images. She was such a huge help when scheduling out our wedding day timeline, which helped us greatly. Laura, and her assistant Deonna, were so patient and organized even when our transportation to the picture location (carrying more than half the wedding party) arrived almost 45 minutes later than expected. They handled it like pros! She still managed to wrangle everyone throughout the chaos and totally went with the flow. They still got all the images checked off the list. We had constant comments all day long about how professional they were from everyone who came in contact with them. Everyone, including us, is gushing over the sneak peek photos she has posted. We can't wait to see the rest because we are so confident they will be equally amazing!

We hired Jeremy in Chicago, and he is absolutely the best event photographer in Chicago. He is…read moreprofessional, flexible, and beyond talented. His style is very particular, which I see as a good thing-- your photos will look like art, not just like anyone else's photos. Moreover, his prices are completely in line with those of other photogs in Chicago-- even less than several we interviewed! Back in September 2013, we needed our engagement photos quickly to produce save-the-dates and Jeremy delivered. We loved every shot he gave us and are constantly finding ways to use the pictures in new ways. Too, too many of the shots from our August 31 wedding are breathtaking. Jeremy gave me one photo before he left, taken just with his iPhone, and even that shot is spectacular. Plus all the guests at the wedding commented on how clearly capable Jeremy was-- getting right in the middle of the dancing, and being super efficient with all posed shots he took. Jeremy is a legitimate inspiration to both my fiance and me, who have both worked as event photographers ourselves. THANK YOU FOR COMING TO CALIFORNIA JEREMY!!

If you are looking for a photographer, Lauren is THEE ONE!!! One word of advice, BOOK WITH HER NOW! I am back with an update!! We received our photos today and we were speechless!

After stumbling upon Lauren Ashley Studios via social media a few months ago and looking through…read moreLauren's incredible portfolio of work, I knew I wanted to try to book her for my upcoming photo shoot. Lauren is extremely talented. She provided a lot of direction, which I was hoping for, as far as how to pose and where to place my hands, how to walk, where to look, etc! Her vision and creativity is really impressive. She was very professional and made me feel very comfortable and at ease. It's easy to see that Lauren is really passionate about what she does, and it translates into the finished product. One of the biggest things for me was the fact that she does not have any hidden costs. A lot of photographers add things in on the back end for additional fees; Lauren did not do that. She and her team were very clear and straightforward, which makes a world of difference! I was also very impressed with how quickly Lauren responded to my initial inquiry. I have just been continuously dazzled throughout the entire process with Lauren and have already recommended her to friends of mine. VIP service the entire way, and on top of that, Lauren is just such a kind-hearted, patient, lovely individual! She made any stress I had dissolve immediately! Better book Lauren while you still can!

I've been struggling with the idea of writing this review, but feel compelled to share our…read moreexperience, as I am sure others may find themselves in the same situation. We first met Otto through a Craigslist advertisement, where he was searching for models to help him explore areas around his new neighborhood of Joliet, IL, to give him inspiration for future shoots there. As the newly-engaged fiancee to a photographer myself, I felt compelled to respond to the ad, and within a few days, we had met Otto in downtown Joliet. As far as Otto's technique and professionalism, I know that the dynamic between a couple and their photographer largely depends on the personalities of each person and the intention with which they approach the shoot, but my partner and I were a bit put off by the excess of light boxes and staged posing. Still, for couples who seek photographers with this style, I do think that Otto would be a great match. Otto is a very friendly and funny person, and we felt that he was respectful and supportive of our relationship, which I am sure is hugely important for any couple contracting someone to capture it on their wedding day! When we received the images from the shoot, we were happy with his work and very grateful that he shared these with us. It wasn't until recently that I began to feel a bit uncomfortable about having worked with Otto. I had stumbled across something he had published that hinted at an anti-gay mentality, and was surprised by this finding. I was initially hurt, but my partner pursued it further with him to allow him the opportunity to explain what he meant. We were met with a response that was offhand and flippant regarding our concern, and could not help but feel the sting of hypocrisy at its finest. This review is not meant to attack Otto on his stance on LGBT rights, as everyone is entitled to his opinion, but I think it is disheartening to work with someone who claims he is supportive of gay marriage when he is working with a gay couple (for monetary gain or otherwise), and who then turns his back on the issue when he is no longer under contract. This may not mean much to most people, as questions of their unions never surface, but I would be doing a disservice to myself and the LGBT community at large by not revealing our experience.

This review is LONG overdue as our wedding was May 2010. *gulp*…read more I have known Otto for years. We went to school together. And although we worked together on many projects, photography was always his strongest love and passion. When we worked together, you could appreciate his sense of detail, his eye and ability to bring out the best in people by disarming the situation. It was a no-brainer when the time came to get married that Otto would be the one to do the photos. We didn't want the standard photos you see so often. We'd seen the work he's done for others and in his own home with his family. With only one request (big family photos), we left him alone to do his work: gave him free reign, full access. And with that, his thoughtful, photojournalistic style made our wedding as vivid in stills as it did in real life that day. In terms of logistics, our non-standard wedding (outdoors, in a public park) were no problem for Otto. He quick assessed the situation and delivered stunning photography that has been the rave of everyone who has seen them. He is strongly strongly recommended. And if you have any questions about his work, please feel free to DM me.
