Communication was great! They had a great spot picked out that made a great backdrop for our family photos. We were so happy with the photos we got back and can't wait to share them with family and friends. The best part of our experience working with Doug was how fun he made the shoot. My son deeply laughed throughout the shoot and at the end wanted to know when he could play with Doug again! We will definitely be working with them again!

Our family had the pleasure of working with Nick and we highly recommend. From our initial…read moreconversation to the end results, Nick was highly responsive, communicated clearly and did a fantastic job with our family photos. He had a very high-level of energy and enthusiasm during the actual shoot and during all interactions. He explicitly warned us when we wanted a certain shot that some of the variables weren't optimal, such as lighting/shadows. With this warning, some of these shots didn't turn out as we hoped. Understandable and not his fault. So I discount some of the reviews which talk about poor results as I bet this was due to unrealistic requests/expectations. The shots he 'directed' turned out fantastic! He did a phenomenal job with our young child and helping us craft the perfect family photo and memories. Overall we are very happy with our results and will not only ask Nick to help us with future photography, but we'll highly recommend him to others looking for a high quality, friendly and professional photographer.

Nick Wilkes Photography recently photographed our wedding and we couldn't be happier with the…read moreamazing images we've received! Nick's photojournalistic style captured the feeling in every moment, and our pictures vividly show the emotion and excitement of the day. Nick was very easy to work with and kept us relaxed during preparation before the ceremony. For the staged group pictures, he was an effective wrangler of family members and even kept the kids (and difficult adults) engaged throughout. The bride and groom photographs were also fantastic, which is a testament to the great job Nick did helping us look natural and relaxed. Most of the day Nick was capturing interactions and activities seamlessly, and the candid shots embody the day so well that each of the images brings a smile when we look at them now. We highly recommend Nick Wilkes Photography for any wedding or event!

He was very responsive when listening to what we were hoping to achieve and found an option that fit our budget. We had a few travel and medical schedules that caused a reschedule, but he was very considerate and understanding when we spoke a few weeks ahead of time. He wore a mask for our session and appropriately socially distanced (much appreciated during COVID times with family members of all ages). He travels light, which really speaks to his ability and talent to get incredible shots, both formal and candid. Will heartily and happily recommend him to friends and family.

Romulo spent the day with us and did an incredible job capturing not only the memories of the day but also the emotions. He was with us for all of the important moments of the day, yet never in the way; he captured moments we didn't even realize he was there for. We're so thrilled we have his photos to look back at to remember our day by. We were extremely impressed with how our photos turned out, and could not recommend Romulo more!

Maureen is the BOMB!! We chose her to be our wedding photographer after we saw she had a lot of…read moreexperience working with mixed race couples. We could have never anticipated the level of professionalism and kindness that we would receive by working with her. From the engagement shoot to the wedding itself, she made us feel like super models. She was able to help us work with a local library to get some unique photos when we wanted something different, went overtime to catch the sunset for some fantastic silhouette photos, and drove us to our wedding day of when we were in a rush to get to the venue. Our engagement photos were absolutely stunning, and I cannot wait to see the results of the wedding itself. If you're considering working with Maureen, do yourself a favor. Stop thinking and reach out NOW! Thank you for everything Maureen

Maureen understands backgrounds, lights, shadows, good sides, placement, cranky children and (thank God) has an amazing sense of humor.

So we showed up begrudgingly but thanks to Maureen, we had a great time and by the time it was over. None of us wanted it to end and we all felt like professional models.

When I booked a mini session for my son, his girlfriend and her son who is 16 months, and my grandson I knew the pictures would be perfect. She brings out the best in everyone. My son decided to use this session to capture his love and he proposed. He let Kaitlin in on the secret. She captured everything beautifully and never gave a hint as to what was coming up. The surprise reaction was real and its all captured on the pictures she took. The boys had a blast and now I get to add to my "gallery wall". I can't wait for her 2020 calendar to come out because I have 2 and 5 year pictures to schedule!!! Thank you Kaitlin for your amazing talents and wonderful memories captured for our family. Denise

We were overwhelmed by how many amazing photos we got, and friends and family can't stop commenting about how great the photography was. The portraits and detail shots were amazing, but the candid shots were our favorites. I think that's the most important--anyone with some basic skill can get the portraits, but it's really special to have a photographer who was able to get all those special non-posed moments (not just of us, but of our guests). Looking at the photos is really like reliving the day. Katie is also awesome to work with on the day of. She has great vibes and as soon as she arrived she got straight to business taking detail shots. She had the clear attitude that she knew what she was doing, and the photos prove it. She got along with everyone and communicated well before, during, and after. 11/10 would recommend!

My fiance and I booked with Autumn after weeks of searching for a wedding photographer. She was the…read morefirst person we found within our budget who's photography style we loved. Long story short, we did our engagement shoot with her about 5 weeks after initially booking. Leading up to the day she did not respond timely to emails, and only got back to us about the time we were meeting the day of. After the shoot, she told us that we would receive the link to our online gallery within TWO WEEKS. This was also the time frame posted on her website. Three weeks went by without a word from her, so we began emailing. No response. We called her. No response. After nearly 5 weeks we informed her via email that we would be withdrawing our business from her if we didn't receive our photos from her by that Friday. On Friday morning, my finace called the credit card company and disputed the charge that was our payment to her. A few hours later, Autumns husband emailed me with the link to our online gallery and a story about how she hadn't received any emails from us, and that she was up north out of cell phone range. He assured us that she would call sometime that weekend. It has now been another 2 weeks, and we still haven't heard from her. We informed her that we disputed the charge for our initial deposit and that we would not be doing our wedding photography with her. We did manage to download our engagement shoot images, but shortly afterwards the gallery was removed from the internet. Since we did get our photos, I emailed Autumn saying we were willing to work out some small payment. She did not respond. Autumn did capture some beautiful images of my fiance and I, and during the shoot we enjoyed working with her. However, due to the extreme lack of communication and professionalism, we would stronger advise against using her as your photographer. In addition, we now know that she previously had a photography business in Chicago called Autumn Photography. If you visit her yelp page under that name, you will find numerous other stories like ours.
