I cannot say enough positive things about Wedding Creativo! For those of you who prefer bullet…read morepoints, here you go: - Beautiful photography. Not only will you get "traditional" wedding shots, but Giorgio and Sarah have a unique aesthetic, and you will also receive creative, arty shots that are edgy and cool and quite stunning. - Amazing customer service. Sarah was such a valuable resource while we were planning the wedding; she went out of her way to provide tons of information about various vendors and was great at answering my questions, providing useful advice, and just generally being very supportive. Sarah seriously provided SO much more than I expected from a photographer. - Outstanding value. The best thing about Wedding Creativo's pricing is you are not forced to purchase a package with a bunch of extras you don't need or want - you can get the bare minimum and then add on as you please. Here is our story: We just had our wedding, so we haven't received our full set of pictures back (I'll make sure to update this review when we do), but you only need to look online to know that they do a terrific job. Giorgio's photos are literally award-winning, and Wedding Creativo's work is unique, funky, and beautiful. Giorgio is a true artist, and is clearly passionate about what he does. He has a wonderful eye, and his pictures are gorgeous. Sarah is FANTASTIC - I cannot say enough about her. She went WAY above and beyond the call of duty - whenever I emailed her with a question, she would reply promptly, with thoughtful and well-researched responses. Because she was so knowledgeable and helpful, we ended up corresponding fairly regularly, and she really provided some excellent advice and insight. I am so grateful to her for all of her help - she was really amazing! Even though we haven't seen our pictures yet, I am beyond thrilled with all of the work and effort that she put into our big day!! We took our portraits hours before our ceremony so we got to hang out with Sarah and Giorgio for a bit before our wedding, and it was so much fun. They really put us at ease, and I was so much more comfortable and relaxed before the ceremony. We also added on a Polaroid package to our reception, and this retro touch was a big hit. We considered lots of different options (i.e. photo booths, flip books) for the reception, and not only was the Polaroid station the most affordable, but we also got to keep one of the cameras! If you are looking for a unique reception activity Polaroids are a great option, and if you want beautiful photos and amazing service, Giorgio and Sarah are the absolute best!!!

Amanda did our engagement shoot shortly after we booked for our wedding, allowing us to get a sense of what working with her on our wedding day would be like. We felt so comfortable with her from the start and loved our engagement shots. On our wedding day, Amanda was sooo incredibly efficient and on task, that everything felt that it went so smoothly to us--Im sure there were hiccups in getting all the shots needed, but I wouldn't have known. Amanda also has stuck to her contract throughout the process, sending us sneak peeks for us to have the day after our wedding and delivering our whole wedding album to us weeks prior to when the contract stated. She is incredibly reliable, which can't be said of all photographers. Trusting her to capture our biggest day yet was the best decision, and I look forward to booking Amanda for any future photography needs we have.

She will go hard for you and your day. She has an amazing sense of style and can provide advice well beyond photography. She meant so much to us throughout our wedding journey. In the midst of COVID, she bought into our dream of going to Paris for engagement photos. I never wanted engagement photos, but my planner highly recommended them, so I figured, if I was going to do them, I wanted them to be epic. Amanda DELIVERED. And my planner was right. It allowed us to get to know Amanda, and for her to know our awkward non-PDA selves. When the wedding rolled around, one thing I was not worried about was our photos. As soon as Amanda walked in the room, I was immediately put at ease. She is so on top of things that I knew she wouldn't let anything go wrong. I loved every minute of our day, and I'm so glad we got to share those times with Amanda. And that her incredible skill was able to capture them for us to relive forever through her photos. She is unparalleled in capturing those special, heartfelt moments. Our whole wedding party loved her. Friends that have never liked a wedding photographer, couldn't stop gushing about her. I cannot recommend using Amanda enough for your wedding. We are honored to have had our day captured by her.

Monica is an amazing photographer. Our wedding photos were not at all cookie cutter and she made…read morethe best of some crazy weather on our wedding day (rain, sun, hail, wind). She and Chris did a great job capturing our day. We had SO MANY photos to choose from - it was a bit overwhelming at first, but so great to have a ton of options. There are a few shots I wish I had, but I don't feel like anything is missing from my wedding day. Be sure to mention anything you want specifically so Monica can make it happen. Definitely pay for 2 shooters on your wedding day - it's so worth it. We made sure we had 10 hours of coverage (getting ready to midway through the reception) and that was a good amount of time. It was great that our guest book, engagement shoot, and wedding album (plus a print credit) were included. I can't recommend Monica enough!

I had been following Monica Z. for almost two years on popular wedding websites such as The Knot &…read moreWedding Wire. Each blogpost or wedding updates made me want to book them more and more. When the time was right, we booked with them and looking back couldn't be any happier that we did. Monica & her husband, Chris, are a powerful photography team that captured all the little and big moments for our wedding. There were sweet moments they captured, like one of our friend's little girl's tossing up flowers in the air after the ceremony, or my little cousin waiving at me as I walked down the aisle - things I may have missed. Their attention to detail is extraordinary and they capture emotion with each shot. What I love most about their photography style, is they let you be you and their editing style is flawless. When I was looking for the right photographer for our wedding, I was comparing them to others in the area. I didn't want pictures to have too many filters or we look so photoshopped we don't look like ourselves. Many photographers tend to do this, but not Monica and Chris. They will fix what they need to, make art as you wish, but I love that I look at our pictures and we look like we are having fun and are totally natural. They're a joy to work with, funny, and worth every penny. They also recently opened up a studio for sessions in Michigan City. I plan to use them for future maternity and family sessions as we live life.

He sent links to potential venues, gave me tips/tricks for the actual proposal, and gave me valuable feedback regarding the actual proposal. He was also very responsive to phone calls and emails. He spent a couple hours with me on the phone in total, to help me plan for the perfect proposal! In terms of the day itself, Jason did an incredible job. The pictures came out great. What really stood out for me was the effort, attention to detail, and professionalism he displayed. He had Bronchitis, and still arrived at the lakefront an hour early to prep for my and my Fiance's arrival. After the outdoor proposal, we went to an indoor venue for additional pictures. He brought in additional lighting equipment, and had everything prepared for our arrival. The pictures taken here turned out amazing as well. Overall, I highly recommend Jason. He showed great professionalism, attention to detail, effort, and most of all, you can tell he really enjoys what he does! I didn't have anything to worry about on the big day, which is priceless. Thanks Jason!

Not only was he a pleasure to work with, he has an artistic eye that can spot a great photo opportunity where you wouldn't expect it. He has extremely reasonable prices when compared with others in the industry, he takes great photos, he even brought a backdrop for formal photos at our reception, he worked his ass off from 9:00AM - 11:00PM, and best of all, he gives you the digital copies for no extra charges!

Truly, I do. We looked at so many people/companies and nothing moved me. I liken your work to romance meets Vanity Fair. Also, you ROCK! We love you. You are so sweet. I felt so comfortable with you the instant we met; you are very approachable and friendly as well as professional all at the same time. I have to say, and anyone I know will agree, I HATE pictures of myself. HATE THEM. You helped me pose while making me feel confident and sexy.

I was looking for someone to take family pictures and I didn't want the standard posed studio photos. I've always gone for the more artistic, photojournalistic style, and Melissa was able to capture those moments beautifully. I have a 2 year old and a 10 month old and she was great with both of them. Usually it takes my son a while to warm up to new people but he was following Melissa around within minutes. Babies grow up so fast and thanks to Melissa, I'll always have beautiful memories of them at this age. She is now our official family photographer!

She understood my vision, aesthetic, and most importantly, my budget, and worked magic on the day-of. Anni released sneak peek photos quickly after the wedding weekend and they were stunning! My anticipation for the final photos were heightened from the glimpse of what I saw, and they were just as (if not more) beautiful. My friends and fam who saw the photos said that Anni captured the essence of my wedding day perfectly- what more could you ask for as a bride? Thanks for all your hard work and loveliness, Anni! I'm so happy that I stumbled across your page and nabbed you as my photographer. I can't wait to see the future weddings you document! Also- the personalized card and USB are a perfect final touch to such a wonderful experience.
