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!

From the start, Daniel made us feel completely at ease, which was so important to us. We wanted our photos to feel fun and candid, not overly posed, and the team really delivered on that. The photos and videos reflect the day exactly as it felt--dreamy, fun, and natural. We loved the whole crew's calm energy, and they were quick to adapt to whatever came up, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free. The quality of the final photos and video exceeded our expectations, and we felt truly special working with them. I highly recommend the Cling & Peck team for their professionalism, creativity, and ability to make every moment feel natural and memorable.

We wanted a photographer there to capture pictures of us and our children. As a result, we only needed a photographer for about an hour on a Saturday afternoon. I contacted Christopher via email on September 20 and explained our situation, and he said he was available for our October 20 date. Christopher sent us his contract via email. After that, I tried to contact him several times to follow up both via email and phone. I left several voicemail messages in the ensuing weeks, but he never returned any of the phone calls. Plus, time was running out to find someone new. Our wedding is in less than a week and Christopher is MIA. We can't find a replacement. Horrible! Thanks a lot Christopher! Maybe some day you will get around to reading these reviews and realize how badly you dropped the ball and let us down. If you couldn't do the job you set out to do, then you should have notified us ASAP so that we could make alternative arrangements.

Finding a Chicago wedding photographer is a difficult task with so many options in this city!…read moreLuckily, I stumbled upon Christopher's photos on the JuneBug Wedding Blog while researching Chicago photographers. We love his style - bold and bright colors with our beautiful city as the background. He captures candid photos as well as comfortable posed shots. His prices are affordable compared to many photographers in the city. I believe the investment is worth it. The turnaround with the wedding photos was quick. He replied to our questions right away and was extremely professional and authentic. Wedding photographers are definitely a difficult task to find in the city of Chicago...I'm so grateful we were able to have Christopher photograph our engagement and wedding!

On top of that, he is such a pleasure to work with. We literally can't wait until we need a photographer for another event so we can hire him again, and honestly we couldn't recommend him more highly. We originally found Tim and a list of other local photographers in a search for our engagement shoot and eventual wedding. Tim was our first phone call on the list, and after we hung up, we crossed out all other names; we were that impressed. We already loved his portfolio that we had seen online, and after getting to know each other over the phone, we knew he was our guy. Tim is everything you want in a photographer. He is extremely easy to get along with and really knows his art. For our engagement shoots he had great recommendations for locations and types of shots, and we were SO thrilled with the outcome. They were our favorite pictures we've ever had of ourselves, until our wedding day. Tim was our favorite wedding photographer either of us had ever had the pleasure of meeting. Both of us have been to countless weddings over the years (and each stood up in several), and as a result we have met and interacted with many people in this profession. Truly, there's no better than Tim. When we got the photos, it made the day seem even more magical. All the emotions came back (and then some) as he captured beautiful moments and scenes perfectly. A big thank you to his assistant Daniel too! Honestly, we just can't say enough great things about both of them, and they made our day so special. Thank you again!!

Not only did it feel like Daniel had been part of our friend circle for years, you could tell that he was passionate about his work and wanted the very best for us. In the various pre-wedding meetings with Daniel, we shared our vision for the video and examples of the style that we liked. He incorporated all of that and sprinkled in some of his artistic flair as well that really added to the video. On the wedding day, Daniel and the second shooter were great and took some amazing video of our entire day. We couldn't be happier with the end result and knew it was because Daniel busted his tail getting it out in a timely fashion. We've heard nothing but positive things about our trailer and wedding video and we would recommend Daniel D Video to everyone for their wedding day.

Five stars is not nearly enough to rate our experience with Brian Kinyon Photography!!…read more Choosing a photographer for your wedding day can be overwhelming. After researching MANY photographers, we found Brian through a friend who had also used him for her wedding. He came highly recommended, and now, it's easy to see why! Everyone has a different idea of what their wedding day will be like, and one of the things that I loved about working with Brian is that he was eager to uncover how we imagined our big day. When we met for the first time, I was struck by what a great listener Brian was and how good he was at asking questions to clarify his understanding of what we wanted in terms of our wedding photography. As we talked, it was easy to tell that he knew exactly what we wanted - something personal, candid and a little off-beat. As we worked together in the months leading up to our wedding, Brian was so helpful in keeping everything organized! He even put us in touch with a few recommended videographers! Fast forward to the day of our wedding. Brian was an absolute gift! My hair and make-up team was running a little behind schedule, and I was taking my own sweet time. Add to that a long line at Velvet Taco and a limo driver that liked to take the scenic route, and we had the recipe for a potential wedding disaster! : o We had planned to make five different stops prior to heading to the church for pictures, but because of the timing we had to cut it down to three. Brian was as cool as a cucumber the entire time! Knowing that our time would be limited at our last stop, he briefed our wedding party prior to arrival on what he planned to do and how we could help things go smoothly. Brian truly saved the day! He helped get us to the church on time! He did an outstanding job of organizing our families for pictures prior to our ceremony and capturing so many of the small intimate moments that made up our wedding day. From the moment we connected, Brian was flexible, accommodating and just plain easy to be around! We've only seen our sneak peak, but holy cow! I cannot even begin to explain how highly we recommend Brian Kinyon! He is a truly gifted photographer! You should consider yourself lucky if you get the chance to work with him!

He had a lot of great ideas and I trusted him completely on my wedding day to get all of the shots. It was nice to not have to worry about that so I could relax (at least about this one thing!!! :) The only problem was after the wedding when he was going to send me the CD of pictures. He mailed it 2-3 times and I never received it. I am sure it was the mail delivery. But he saved the day and hand delivered it after these failed attempts to mail!! How great is that?! Brian's photography is second to none. Just make sure to book him early!!

If you're reading this review then you've already discovered Robert's website and will know that…read morehis style of wedding photography and the quality of his work is great! Our daughter got married in Chicago and we live in Florida so it was very complicated to find somebody that we would like. We couldn't really rely on recommendations because we didn't know anybody there. Also to be perfectly honest we didn't want to spend more than $3000 on the photography. Being that the wedding was in downtown Chicago, everybody that I talk to before finding Robert was very stuck up and very very pricey. When I looked at Roberts work on his website I was absolutely amazed by the pictures that he would take. They were not traditional wedding pictures where you have everybody just lined up, they were pictures of the moments, pictures of the things that were actually happening. Just by looking at those pictures you could imagine what was going on at those weddings. His photographs tell a story and capture the most natural shots possible. For us, this was very important. Robert was very courteous and was able to cover the day without being obtrusive while at the same time being in the right place at the right time. We had many compliments about him from our guests. When I was hiring Robert I wanted to hire two photographers for my daughter's wedding every single moment would be captured. He tried to assured me that I would not need two photographers because of the size of her wedding. We had 80 people. I was still skeptical but he did say that he would have his assistant with him so I decide to go I and just hire him. Well, he was right! He was able to cover everything! Bride's preparations, groom's preparation, me being stressed out :), maid of honor helping, bride drinking a glass of champagne.... Everything that you want to remember from your wedding. All the candid shots, people dancing, drinking, eating... Everything! Most importantly my daughter is little shy and does not like taking pictures, so the way that Robert did this was just amazing. She felt so comfortable with him that I now am such a happy mom looking at her beautiful pictures. Thank you Robert for making my daughter's day so special.
