We are so thankful that we found the right photographer to work with us and capture our day. Plus he got our photos back to us quickly (~10 days!!!!) so that we had them available when we returned from our honeymoon. Plus the price was great - at no time did I think we were being overcharged or questioning what we would/wouldn't receive. The photos speak for themselves and I'm so proud of the photos that we will be able to display and share with others.

My sister was married in October and chose Fotoenvy to be her photographer. As of the end of…read moreJanuary, we had not seen any pictures despite numerous requests. My sister, my mother, and I all tried in vain to get the pictures and we were all met with varying stall tactics, excuses, and unreturned phone calls. To top it off, Chris W. had my first review removed and sent me this threat: "Take down your fake comment or we will send lawyers notes. You've never been a client of ours so our lies can stop." So no, I wouldn't recommend this guy to take a picture of cold cow dung for you; much less tell you to trust him with your special memories.

I contracted with Foto Envy in April of 2015 for my June 2016 wedding. 8 months later I received an…read moreemail (not a phone call) informing me that my photographer, Yunkin, was transferring my contract to North x North. I was told all single photographer weddings under a certain $$$ amount would be transferred to North x North. I immediately called both parties for further explanation. I don't believe I ever really got an accurate story. I couldn't tell if there was a parting of ways or not? The explanation was rather vague, but it seemed North x North was still an affiliate of Foto Envy? However, I had to sign a completely new contract with North x North. I was apprehensive, but I was able to keep my original photographer, and my wedding was 6 months away. I didn't want to start over looking for a new photographer. I signed and my deposit was transferred to North x North. I paid the balance of my contract in March 2016. End of April rolled around and I decided to reach out to my photographer to start discussing specific details for the wedding. On 4/30/16 (wedding date was to be 6/11/2016) I received an email from Yunkin, explaining that he was moving his photography buisness to Seattle, but had found 4 photographers who would be happy to take over my contract for my wedding day. No phone call, just an email. I was stunned. None of the suggested photographers were even local. I had no idea who any of them were. Basically, I had 6 weeks before my wedding to meet and select a new photographer. After several phone calls to both Yunkin himself and Foto Envy, I did receive a full refund. Foto Envy apologized, and made it seem they had nothing to do with Yunkin any longer. Yunkin apologized as well, but it was really too late for apologies. I was lucky enough to secure a new local photographer for my date. I have no idea whether Foto Envy is affiliated with North x North anymore or not? Maybe it's just buisness, but I feel both parties acted poorly. The lack of communication and way this situation was handled, was in my opinion, very unprofessional.

They are very creative and took so many unique shots all throughout the day. They were very easy to work with.

Honestly have never had such a bad taste in my mouth so quickly from a business.. event coordinator…read moreKenna was anything but helpful. Called her in the morning to inquire about dj services and it seemed like she couldn't get me off the phone quick enough. Instead of making a new connection with a potential client she made it clear that "it's easier for me if I just email you a brochure"... not a great start for a new bride looking for services. After emailing back and forth we made an appointment to speak over the phone and low and behold.. was still given the same bad attitude. Very short and vague answers, no attempt to share excitement or make me feel comfortable/that she wanted to be speaking with me. If you're the front line of a business I highly recommend making an effort to get to know your clients or just don't act like the people who want to spend thousands of dollars on your services are a bother. Will be going somewhere else.

Beth is hands down the BEST photographer in Rockford. No contest. She is highly professional, timely, a complete joy to work with and so much more. When you're planning your wedding it's not just "one day" this is the day you have thought about your whole life. Her photography is the BEST INVESTMENT you will make for your wedding. She captures every moment. So when you look at the pictures she sends you, you get the feelings all over again. The tears, the goosebumps, the stomach turning excitement all over again. The best choice we made by far was hiring and trusting our special day to Beth.

My husband and I live in Chicago, but found the perfect wedding venue in Rockford. As professional…read moredesigners and a relatively organized couple, we intended to take on the planning and coordinating ourselves, but came to realize how difficult that is to do remotely. A wedding coordinator is not an expense we initially accounted for, but once we met Erica, we knew we had to hire her. As a person, Erica is very sweet, clever, patient and grounded. As a professional wedding coordinator, she is very professional, experienced, accessible, communicative, helpful and reasonable. Even though we hired Erica as a day-of coordinator, she was responsive and helpful throughout the entire 10-month planning process. Any time I had a question, concern or was in need of a suggestion, Erica was there to respond to my late-night emails and last-minute phone calls. Because she has worked in the wedding industry for as long as she has, she knows so many talented and reasonably-priced vendors, which made her exceptionally resourceful to us. Erica was very flexible when it came to payments. We were able to schedule payment installations at our convenience, as well as pay with a credit card over the phone. Erica was especially devoted to us the week of our wedding, which we really appreciated. She willingly drove to our apartment in the city to pick up all of our decorations, which was incredibly helpful, considering we do not own a vehicle. And as for the day of our wedding: we couldn't have been more thrilled with what she did with everything we put so much love into making. Erica completely understood our vision from the start, and executed beautifully. She coordinated our large wedding parties seamlessly, and paced the entire day with little to no problem. We couldn't be more thankful for her help in making our wedding day the most memorable day of our lives. If you're in need of a day-of coordinator or wedding planner, Erica's your girl.
