When looking for a photographer for our wedding, my criteria were that the photographer takes…read morebeautiful shots and that they are reliable. After looking through Brian's impressive portfolio and sitting down with him to talk, we decided to hire him for our wedding and engagement shoot. Brian completely exceeded my expectations in every way possible. Brian is not only very reliable, but he is also extremely dedicated to his work. Brian drove over 90 miles to get to our engagement photo shoot and on the way he stopped at a gas station on the south side of Chicago where he stepped on two nails, which punctured his foot. Although we insisted that we reschedule so he could take care of himself, he still arrived (early, as his style) ready to shoot our session. He carried his equipment on his back on his injured foot for miles around Chicago, and took some of the most breathtaking photos I have ever seen. Brian helped us to feel completely comfortable the entire time. I remember being impressed with how he can walk backwards, get to know us better by carrying on a conversation, assess the lighting of the area around him, all while shooting pictures that made our families cry and that we will treasure forever. We are happier than ever that we chose Brian and his assistant Greg to shoot our wedding on July 13, 2013. On the day of my wedding, I didn't have time to notice all of the details that I previously spent so much time planning. Brian perfectly captured all of these details in his photographs. There were many shots that I would have never thought to ask him to take, but because of his professionalism and experience he provided these pictures for us. Most importantly, Brian captured the moments that happen so quickly.. but that I will remember forever. Because of his talent, I have photos of my mom trying not to cry as I step into my dress, my grandmother giggling with the woman who was doing her make up, my groom's first teary look at me, and so much more. You are a lucky couple if you get to book Brian for your wedding!

Ryan photographed my band (tenmonthsummer) at our first show ever and to this day one of those photos is my computer background. Their pricing is extremely reasonable given how good the photos are. We didn't make any special requests for coloring or B&W because we trust Ryan's vision, but I'm sure they would be able to accommodate anything reasonable. With how good Ryan's photos turn out, we HAD to use them again for one of our biggest shows ever opening for national touring act from Australia, Trophy Eyes. In this review you can see some of their photos from that show. They speak for themselves. Mind you, Ryan is also a student and is balancing that life with their photography career, so for this show Ryan gave us a heads up that the full shot list would be a little longer, but still gave us a handful of amazing selects THE NEXT DAY so we had something for socials. Once again, I cannot speak higher of how professional and excellent Ryan's work and partnership are. We WILL be using Ryan again and I strongly recommend you take the leap if you haven't!

My brother used Mindy Joy Photography for his engagement and wedding photography. Mindy was very…read morenice and professional. She had a list of photographs that the bride and groom wanted to take and she was very efficient and got through them all very quickly. She went with the bridal party to a local park to take pictures before the wedding. Mindy and the other photographer were very nice and easy to get along with. The most amazing part was that she was done processing the photos and were available on her website within a week!!! The pictures turned out great and everyone was very happy with them. I highly recommend Mindy Joy Photography!

Aaron and Philan of White Shutter Photography exceeded all of the expectations we could have had…read morefor our wedding day! When we first interviewed Aaron he told us that he wouldn't just be our photographer, he would help the entire night run smoothly- he did. Aaron and Philan came the hotel prior to our ceremony. Philan took precious photos of me, my mom, and my girls while helping me into my dress! Aaron hung out with my husband beforehand, taking photos, helping him into his tux, and making everything seem easy. Aaron helped us execute a strategic plan for more pictures to be taken prior the ceremony, without us seeing each other:) It was brilliant! Five minutes before I was ready to walk down the aisle I was standing in the bridal room at my church, doing my best to stay calm, when Philan came in and just started snapping pictures- I was immediately at ease. As the night went on, Aaron and Philan were everywhere. Aaron's creative eye never stopped! He would have shot photos all night if we didn't have a reception to get to. Our pictures are amazing. Some people will tell you that photography isn't that big of a deal because you only really get a couple of pictures you want to save and showcase for the rest of your life. We got hundreds, seriously. We have no regrets recommending White Shutter Photography to all brides- they are truly fantastic.

Aaron and Philan did an amazing job on our wedding day! When we first met with Aaron (Philan was…read moreout of town), we got a great vibe from him. He told us all about Philan and how they were married and worked events together. We felt very at ease during our first meeting and we decided right then and there that we wanted them to be our photographers. Aaron and Philan were able to capture who we really are as a couple in their photos. We love the candid shots that we got of the two of us. Some of our favorite pictures are of my husband and his brother, who has Down Syndrome. The way they captured the special relationship between my husband and his brother is truly amazing and I am so glad that my husband has those photos. I know it means a lot to him. We would highly recommend Aaron and Philan for any event. They are truly an amazing couple and we feel very lucky to have shared our special day with them.

We felt at ease the entire time, mainly because of how personable both Kelsey and Kody are. Photo sessions can sometimes feel a little awkward and this one did not at all!

I was also very impressed with how quickly we were able to see our pictures, since I know it is a lot of hard work to go through and edit so many shots. Overall we were very happy with everything!

She is so sweet and never makes you feel uncomfortable. She is so knowledgeable about what looks good and improvises if things don't quite work out how they were planned. We had planned to get sunset pictures during our reception, but it down poured and was storming the entire night. Instead of just not getting any pictures outside, Chrissy had the great idea to get pics outside with an umbrella (after the storms were gone) and these turned out to be some of our favorites!! She also has an eye for capturing the most meaningful candid pictures. I could go on and on! She's the best!!
