We first hired Joe about 6 years ago for our wedding and engagement pictures. They turned out…read morefantastic, and Joe was great about scouting out locations for our engagement shoot in Chicago. 6 years later, we hired Joe to take our family pictures, with our two boys and the grandparents. It was a great experience, Joe was incredibly flexible to the whims of our 2 yr old and 3 yr old boys. The pictures turned out great. We would definitely recommend Joe to anyone seeking a professional, reliable, high quality photographer.

He never made us feel like he was in a hurry and kept suggesting we move to different locations so that he could take shots with different angles and backgrounds. I almost started to feel bad during the shoot - since he was so kind and eager for the perfect shot I almost had to remind him that our time was up! Our pictures are truly works of art and I can't wait to hang them up around the house. What a local gem. Thank you Mark!

We found Heather through Yelp. Frankly I am shocked that she does not have hundreds of reviews…read morebecause her work is absolutely incredible! From the start, working with her was extremely professional. She was very timely with her email responses and was even able to fit us in on short notice. Her studio is attached to her home, and has a ton of props and outfits for newborns. She was so great with our newborn, she was able to soothe him and keep him calm between the outfit changes. Her patience was unbelievable! She accommodated all our requests for poses and props, with no hesitation. I will recommend H. Lane photography to all my friends and family. I can not wait to come back to get 1 year photos of my baby !

This review is long overdue!…read more Lauryn took both my engagement photos and wedding photos. In addition to creating the most romantic, beautiful, and fun photos that I will cherish for the rest of my life, life, she has an amazing personality, was so incredibly organized from the moment I contacted her, and made me and my husband feel so relaxed and comfortable during shooting. She was so easy to work with and also went above and beyond for us. I normally hate photos of myself, yet I love everything she took of me and my husband. My brother and fiancé also loved our photos and working with her during my wedding, that they are now using her for their wedding as well. All of the other reviews you read praising her are 100% accurate. Cannot recommend her enough both as an amazing photographer and awesome person.

Lauryn was the first vendor we contacted and the best decision we made. I knew photography was one of the most important parts to me, so I was excited to meet with multiple photographers wnr find our best match. We met with her first and then a few others, but we both knew pretty much instantly that Lauryn was the one for us. She makes you feel so comfortable and calm, but at the same time you know she is organized and excels at her work. Not only are her pictures absolutely stunning, she was an asset to our wedding day. She kept everyone organized, brought us Kleenex/water when needed and stayed motivated through the looooong day. We are so happy with our pictures and we can not recommend Lauryn enough!!!

Esenam is legendary! My husband and I both enjoyed working with him during our engagement shoot. He…read morewas pleasant, passionate, friendly, professional and very easy to work with. Jonathan & I were planning our wedding from out of state, and Esenam was very timely and worked with our BUSY schedule (we're both residents). My husband and I met with Esenam and his family for lunch to talk about the wedding/contract. Everyone loved our engagement pictures and we can't wait to see the finished wedding pictures. Esenam has an artistic eye and beautifully captures each moment. Picking Esenam to capture the memories of our wedding day is probably one of the best decisions we made. I would highly recommend Esenam to anyone who wants BEAUTIFUL wedding pictures. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Esenam!

Ese was our photographer for our big day, and he was wonderful! He was very creative, and had…read morenumerous suggestions for where we could take beautiful outdoor shots (we chose the Japanese Gardens in Geneva, IL which were incredibly beautiful). He set up a beautiful and emotional first look for us there as well. I loved that he personalized my package for what I was looking for (I had a breakfast in the morning I was hoping he could photograph- and he said no problem), and that he got all of the big moments in our day- from getting ready until the very end- he literally traveled around with us all day. My favorite part was that we walked from the church to the reception hall and he had someone in my family move his car over so he could walk with us and photograph our private moments together. Ese is friendly and fun, and my bridal party enjoyed him throughout the entire day. He definitely shoots in the photo journalistic style, so there will not be a lot of time spent on "group shots" unless you specifically ask. Ese is a bit pricey, but his price included the day- I never felt like he was going to say, "your eight hours are up, I'm leaving even though there are still big things to happen" which is different than many photographers I've seen at events. Photographer is one of the most important wedding day decisions and I was so pleased with our choice. Definitely check out his site- you will not be disappointed.
