My husband and I couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. Gilbert and his team captured the entire day perfectly, and the photos are to die for. My brother and SIL hired Greyes for their wedding back in 2018, and their photos turned out so beautiful we didn't even look at any other photographers when we got engaged. Our engagement photos were beautiful, and their team was a pleasure to work with. We felt so comfortable behind the camera both then and on our big day; the photos clearly show that. Gilbert is a true professional and artist, and we will cherish these photos forever. Thank you for making our day magical! ABSOLUTELY recommend! read more

Being a wedding photographer myself I knew I wanted amazing photography. I had my eye on Greyes Photography for a few years actually. He was incredibly easy to talk to and made sure everything went smoothly on the wedding day. His attention to detail and art of making the images in a more editorial tone is what drew me to him. He also really knows how to use all kinds of light, natural light, flash, and video lights. He made some amazingly creative images that I will treasure forever. Turn around time was prompt and his communication was always on point! I Am so happy with my choice and can't stop looking at my images . He created images that will adorn the walls of our home for a lifetime! read more

Wow, I gotta say, this was the best money spent for my wedding.  My husband and I were first drawn to Gilbert's amazing photos on his website, and after meeting with multiple photographers, it was clear Gilbert was by far and away the best choice.  His photos are to die for, but what really made our experience was his energy and personality, and his wonderful team.  We worked with Gilbert, Corinna, Grace and Sara, the videographer, and I can't wait for the next event so I can hire them again. We first took engagement photos with Gilbert and Grace, and they made us feel like rockstars-the shoot was comfortable and breezy, and Gilbert has such an eye for beautiful landscapes and elegant, effective moments.  He also made it easy for our natural playfulness to shine, and we felt so comfortable on camera.  And the photos.were.stunning.  We got so many compliments on them.  This was a great experience that led us to be confident that our wedding would also be comfortable and easy.  (and it was!) Gilbert went above and beyond helping us figure out the best wedding timeline, and even researched our family farm (the venue!) so he could come prepared on the wedding day.  He was very knowledgeable about the industry but also was flexible and easily able to help us tailor a wedding that was very uniquely ours.  He was a prompt responder and got answers to our questions thoroughly and quickly.  The whole team was wonderful on the day of.  Capturing special moments while laughing and joking and also keeping us on track.  (We were on time for the entire wedding, wow!)  It was important to me that our photographers felt like part of the wedding instead of just watching from the outside, and I really felt like that was achieved.   All in all, Gilbert and his crew were just plain fun to be around.  They made us feel good and calm during an event that has such high stakes, and because we felt comfortable, my husband and I were able to have authentic, easy, romantic moments together on the best day of our lives.   Please hire him.  You can't go wrong, and you won't regret it. read more

We booked Gilbert in May for our September 2019 wedding. We took our engagement photos with him last month and just got them back, and they are AMAZING! Gilbert has such talent and such a way of making you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I have received so many compliments from friends, family, coworkers, even randos. I am so excited to get to work with him again for my wedding next year, because I know I can expect similar results. Hire this guy now, thank me later. cross posted to various places. read more

Gilbert and his team photographed our wedding at the Gardens of Woodstock on 9/15/23. We were so appreciative of their professionalism throughout the entire day and their patience putting up with our loud, crazy family! The pictures turned out absolutely STUNNING and we were blown away by how creative they were by taking advantage of the landscape around the venue including the trees, plants, reflections in the pond and reflection in mirrors. We will be admiring our pictures for years to come and highly recommend them for anyone wanting truly magical photos of their big day. We can't thank you enough! read more

It's no surprise that Gilbert and his team already have 100% 5-star reviews. They were probably the hardest working vendors we had on our wedding day! I didn't even know I was picky about photography style until I started researching. GReyes Photography's portfolio stood out to us because the pictures are truly stunning. We chose the gold package from Gilbert, which was very reasonably priced for the level of talent and professional that they exhibited. It included a wedding album, engagement photos, and a full day of coverage for the wedding day. He made us feel at ease from the first time we met him (at the very beginning of our engagement photo shoot) and delivered those photos within just a few weeks. They were beautiful! We were excited to work with him again the day of the wedding and his team did not disappoint. It was a long day (almost 12 hours) since we had a ethnic ceremony in the morning as well, but they were terrific throughout. Gilbert helped organize all the major events, helped coordinate all our big crazy family photos and delivered over 1000 photos to us within 3 months. He captured everything from the smallest details, candid laughs, to our couple portraits that made us look like models (trust me, we are the furthest thing from that) Please do yourself a favor and book Gilbert and his team today! read more

Amazing photographers! The photos are everything we could have imagined. We loved the style and artistic aesthetic. We used Greyes for our engagement and wedding photos. They were with us the entire wedding day and captured every special moment. Highly responsive and great communication throughout the whole process. We chose not to hire a videographer and still feel like absolutely every part of the day was captured. Hard to pick our favorite photos for sure. read more

I couldn't be happier with the photos from our wedding!!! We had a very small wedding (30 people, just family) and 2 photographers (Gilbert and his wife Nessli). They were so nice and easygoing and never got in the way. They took really creative, photojournalistic style shots and were extremely easy to work with. We booked them when they were first starting out so we got an amazing deal but even though their prices have increased slightly since we booked, they are still a huge bang for your buck. I used to be a wedding planner so I am very familiar with vendors and pricing and I assure you that you will not be dissappointed with GReyes. Everyone who looks at our wedding photos tells us that our photographer did an amazing job and many say they are the best wedding photos they have ever seen. Again, couldn't be happier! read more

When I first came across their portfolio, I was amazed! I was sure they had to be expensive and way out of my price range. But they're so reasonably priced for the work that you get! They're super professional, but still fun. Great ideas, and have such a keen eye. We met with Gilbert, and knew he was passionate about what he does. He had so many ideas just talking with us, and suggested what we could do in different scenarios (snow, low-lighting, rain, etc.). He laid out the plan for how his usual weddings go, and asked how we would feel about it. We knew we wanted him as our photographer after meeting with him! We met Nessli the day of, and she's so sweet! She and Gilbert work so well together. When they shoot together, they make sure to get all angles. When she's assisting Gilbert, she moves almost like his shadow. If he moves a couple inches, she knows where to move to compliment him. It was amazing watching them work together. They were a blast to work with, and made sure we were comfortable doing whatever. Gilbert was a pro at positioning and working with lighting/reflections. The turn around time for the photos was fantastic! We had our images about five weeks after. We will definitely be using Gilbert and Nessli for whatever photo needs we have!! read more

Lets say this: GLIBERT AND HIS TEAM ROCKS! Gilbert is an amazing Photgrapher. He makes sure to get every inch of detail. He made sure on our wedding day we were on time and everything worked within our schedule. When I say everyone kept asking who our photographer was i mean EVERYONE. They couldn't believe the quality and performance he did for us all night! I truly cant express how lucky we were to have found them! Gilbert is very easy to talk to and comfortable to be around. Both of them were very funny and also made our party bus extremely fun as they were taking photos throughout! The talent our photographers has is like no other! Still to this day I have people talking about how unbelievable they were! Do yourself a favor and PLEASE look no further- Gilbert and his team will work wonders for you I promise! read more

GReyes Photography - Event Photography Near Me - St. Charles, Illinois

Speechless. I haven't even received my pictures yet, but the few that I have seen were beyond incredible. Gilbert is a genius and his TEAM was amazing! I am a tough critic and arguably high maintenance- my wedding exacerbated these characteristics. I could not have been more relaxed and happy with the day and Greyes photography. I would recommend them a million times over! read more

When we found GReyes Photography, we knew they HAD to be our wedding photographer. Early on, we met with some other photographers who had nice portfolios, but did not match our personalities, and were highly overpriced. Then we found GReyes, and couldn't believe their work and affordability! From the moment we met Gilbert at our engagement shoot, we knew we made the right choice! Gilbert is patient, hilarious, and so much fun to work with. We crawled through the grass with him and stood in the middle of Chicago traffic. Our trust in him paid off with spectacular results, and we could not wait to see what he would do at the wedding. Our wedding was a full day cultural fusion with two ceremonies. Gilbert and his team arrived at 6:30am and were with us the entire day until nearly 10:30pm! Others have said this, and it is totally true, that Gilbert will lay down on the ground outside to capture the perfect shot. His work is so beautiful and well-composed! Gilbert is constantly up for a challenge - I don't even know how so many of our photos were captured! In the end, we received nearly 1,700 edited photos documenting our wedding day. Gilbert and his team were the ultimate professionals; well-dressed, polite, and half the time, unseen but very hard at work! You can't go wrong choosing GReyes Photography for your big day! We'd do it again in a heartbeat! read more

I cannot even begin to describe how incredible it was working with Gilbert and Nessli Reyes of GReyes Photography for our wedding! We recently received our wedding album and WOW... it turned out absolutely stunning! They captured all of the quintessential moments of the wedding with such artistic vision that you can almost feel the emotions and excitement of the day! And not only are they simply just awesome at what they do, but they also have the most amazing personalities and presence! It was such a pleasure to work with both Gilbert and Nessli, and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone I know. Actually, one of our bridesmaids recently got engaged and was so impressed with GReyes that they just booked them for their own wedding next October! They are honestly just incredible people and so much fun to work with!   My wife stumbled across their website while browsing Pinterest and we immediately became captivated by their extensive portfolio of gorgeous engagement and wedding photos. The photos were so creative and artistic, yet still unique and intimate. Starting with our engagement photo shoot, Gilbert and his assistant went above and beyond to make sure that we were both looking our best, while still feeling at ease. We hopped around various spots in Chicago and Gilbert was able to compose phenomenal shots while going the extra mile to teach us how to "squinch", pose and overall look our best. I'm not kidding when I say he literally fluffed my wife's dress, fixed our hair, hung off railings and laid down in the middle of tourists on the new river walk trying to get the perfect shot! It's so awesome when your photographer is 10x more committed and invested than even you are when it comes to getting "the shot". That level of commitment transpired throughout the entire day of the wedding. He was enthusiastic, but still calming at the same time. He captured the mood and storyline of the day with ease, while maintaining an almost ninja-like profile so as not to take away from the authenticity of the event. Gilbert is a true artist and we are so lucky that we were able to work with him and his team. Our engagement and wedding photos are truly perfect and we could not be more delighted with how everything turned out! read more

Gilbert Reyes is great to work with! My fiance and I hired him to take our engagement photos in Lincoln Park. He gave explicit directions during the shoot, which was great because I wouldn't have known what to do otherwise. He delivered the photos to us ahead of schedule, and my fiance and I look like models in the photos! We are more than pleased with Gilbert's work and recommend him wholeheartedly. read more

Here's a tip, look them up on facebook, check out their portfolio and hire them! and hurry! they fill up really fast! You won't be sorry and you'll thank Yelp later! They are quite a steal for what you are paying them! Very talented folks and very easy to work with. I wished someone had yelped them while I was doing my research! I had to go through tons of knot forums and finally found them there. I highly recommend them! read more

Gilbert is the most incredible photographer to work with! From the day we met him, we felt very comfortable being ourselves and immediately trusted him. But after we received our engagement photos, we were blown away by how perfect they were. We did our engagement photos on what had to be the windiest day of the year and he managed to stop time to take the most amazing shots. I cannot wait to see our wedding photos and I have no doubt they will be even better! Gilbert has a great eye for lighting and poses. If I were to do this all over again, I would 100% book GReyes Photography. read more

We used GReyes Photography for our wedding just this September. We recently received our photos and they turned out amazing!!! Gilbert and Maui were our two photographers and they were so wonderful to work with. They had us laughing the entire day, literally. They made me and my husband feel so comfortable behind the camera and on the most important day of our lives. The shots they were able to get really captured our day so perfectly. We cannot stop looking at them! My husband and I can't thank you enough Gilbert. Your creativity, talent and professionalism, really is incomparable. We had so much fun we had with you & Maui. You both really made our day one we will never forget. All the photos you took were absolutely incredible. We would highly highly recommend Gilbert and his team. Thank you so much, we'll be forever grateful to you for capturing our wedding day xo read more

Our wedding was about 2 months ago and we just received our pictures! We could not be happier. Gilbert did our engagement and wedding day pictures. They are so easy to work with and really helped us out a lot. We planned our own wedding and unsure on how to plan everything and he was very helpful. We went over things a couple times before the wedding which really made me feel comfortable about the day. I do not even remember seeing him during the ceremony and dancing yet we have a thousand beautiful pictures of it all! He does more then just poses and captures moments of the day which are my absolute favorite. We would 100% recommend Leo (and have already!). Picking anything for your wedding is difficult as there are 1000 options. If you are looking for someone with a great personality who helps you with your day and you ends up with outstanding pictures you will not regret choosing Gilbert and his team. read more
