We hired Andrew to photograph our wedding and are incredibly pleased with his services and grateful…read morefor his professionalism and flexibility. First the basics - we looked at a few other photographers and we did not find anyone that compares on cost. It wasn't even close. So it was affordable to work with Andrew, but also very smooth. He met with us in person three times and I am sure would have more had we asked. He was very responsive to emails and never set a limit of the number of contacts, which is something we have heard other vendors do. Andrew is personable, intelligent and very easy to work with. My wife and I also relied heavily on our vendors for advice on how to structure the wedding evening - they are the pros after all - and Andrew was always game for giving us advice on what works best. When we returned from our honeymoon Andrew had setup a Flickr account for us to see all of our photos. The quality is outstanding. The quantity is huge. And he gave us full rights to the photos. We could not have asked for a better experience with Andrew.

We used Andrew for our June 2010 wedding in Chicago. I cannot recommend him enough - he is…read moreextremely professional and reliable, takes gorgeous pictures and is a fantastic alternative to all the "Big Box" wedding photography options out there, and all at an incredibly price. We received all our photos within four weeks of our wedding, had full digital rights, and were able to share them with our family and friends while the memories were still fresh. The photos were so great that we opted not to use any of the retouching he had included in our package. Andrew is also extremely pleasant to work with because he has a friendly, low-key personality. We felt like he really understood what we wanted and did not try to "sell" us on anything.

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!!

We love Rob's documentary-style approach to capturing all the big and little moments. The photos from both days are so lively and dynamic and candid, with the low-light dance floor photos easily being some of our favorite. He is also easy to work with -- easygoing but super responsive, has a plan but also great on-the-fly. Putting together beautiful custom albums using the private gallery he creates for you on his website is also very user friendly and straightforward. I can't recommend Rob highly enough!

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.

Her existing photos were not ... ideal, but neither was my location. I was helping a Chicago-based company from the San Francisco Bay Area. Gaby responded to a Facebook post asking for help for a small business that didn't have much budget (which excluded any kind of food stylist). He came up with great ideas of how to style, and did the styling based on past food experience (and even brought some of his own props). Not only were his ideas creative, but the photos ... holy cow.

We couldn't be happier with our experience with H Photography and Doru! From our very first…read moremeeting, Doru impressed us with his professionalism, warmth, and genuine interest in getting to know us as a couple. He took the time to understand our wedding photography vision--what moments mattered most to us, what style we loved, and how we wanted the day to feel in photos. That level of personal attention meant so much and made the entire process--from our engagement session to the big day--feel seamless and enjoyable. Doru's expertise in journalistic photography perfectly aligned with our desire for photos that felt real, emotional, and timeless. He has a rare gift for capturing the in-between moments--the laughter, the quiet glances, the joy on our guests' faces. Every image feels alive, and our photos tell the full story of the day in such an authentic and beautiful way. Our engagement session was a great preview of what was to come. Doru helped us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, which really shows in the natural, relaxed photos we received. On our wedding day, he was everywhere without ever being intrusive--present, perceptive, and always ready to capture a meaningful moment. The final product was beyond anything we imagined. The photos themselves are stunning, and the leather-bound photo album he created is a true work of art. Flipping through its pages brings back every emotion from our wedding day--it's something we'll treasure forever. If you're looking for a photographer who listens, understands your vision, and brings it to life with artistry and heart, we wholeheartedly recommend H Photography and Doru. His experience, creativity, and genuine care shine through in every single photo, and we're so grateful for the memories he preserved for us.
