The photo album is a beautiful compilation of our sessions and will be treasured forever. Even during covid, she found a way to keep us safe and take the best pictures.

We discovered Tricia's work when we became the winning bidder of a senior portraits package at a…read morecharity event, and when I saw her portfolios online, I was so excited to get my stepson's senior pictures taken there. Tricia captured his smile and personality so well. We were so pleased with not only the outcome, but her customer service and attention to detail too. So, of course, when we decided to get married, I called Tricia again. We had a small wedding in the city, and Tricia traveled with us in the limousine and took amazing photos of the ceremony and from the planetarium with the cityscape in the background, as well as urban shots on the Franklin Street bridge. The pictures from the 95th floor of the Hancock Tower where we had dinner were spectacular. My favorites, however, were the candid shots of our guests having a great time. Tricia has an art of capturing people's emotion through photography. Call her if you have an important life event that you want to have photographed!

You plan…read moreeverything and hope to work with the right people so you can let go and enjoy the day....and enjoy I did! Jenn shot our wedding in December 2012. She was perfect. She was everywhere, all at the same time. She got the shots I wanted and all the shots I should have wanted. I never had to worry about getting a group arranged or making sure she caught "that" moment, she made them all happen. She was kind, efficient and put us all at ease (and I think that came through in final results). Photos are all you really tangibly carry away from your wedding day and I have beautiful posed, candid and artistic moments to hold onto.

We weren't able to get newborn photography at the hospital when our son was born, so we looked into…read morea photographer coming to our home. We found Maddie on Instagram and her photos matched the vibe we were going for. She was the best, everything she did was so professional. She took all the necessary precautions, making sure we were comfortable with her touching items in our home and she wore a mask the entire time. She was great with handling our son, and she even taught us a few tricks to soothe him! She made the entire experience fun for our whole family. I appreciated that she took the time to walk around and ask about our story in order to capture our family the best way possible. The entire shoot took maybe 3 hours. She never rushed us and even gave us time to feed him. I was a little nervous before with timing and fussiness, but Maddie knew exactly how to space it out and be accommodating to his schedule. Most importantly, the photos turned out amazing. All the shots were beautifully edited. And she captured a wide range of photos: of our boy, us as a family, and great detailed shots (hands, feet, sentimental props). I would recommend Maddie to anyone for newborn photography needs!!!

Stop looking and book Maddie…read more I've searched high and low, went through spurts of stress/anxiety to breakouts on my face, all thanks to wedding planning. And finding the perfect photographer (within budget) was a definite stressor! We've met with several photographers and at the end of the day, we felt most comfortable with Maddie. And not to mention, all of her photos felt natural and light, NOT full of your typical prom poses of "stand here, put your hand here, look in this direction." She offers a free engagement session which we originally thought we wouldn't do... but we figured it would be a good way to get comfortable with Maddie and also having our pictures taken by a pro. BEST DECISION EVER. We took them all around Wicker Park and not to brag, but we got featured on Buzzfeed Weddings thanks to her pictures! Onto the wedding pictures. We wanted the "essence" of our wedding captured on camera and holy smokes, I'm still blown away. Everyone that has looked through them has commented how they feel as if they are there in that photo and reliving the memory with us. They're THAT incredible. If you want to check out our wedding pictures, just private message me and I'll send you our album. I've even had friends of mine book Maddie because they've seen my photos. I truly cannot say it enough--she was, hands down, the best decision we made for our wedding!

From our first meeting with Erin, she put us at complete ease, which was amazing since we'd be spending 10 hours with her on our wedding day!! We were looking for someone who could capture the natural emotions of the day, including our personalities. Our package included an engagement session, which was SUCH a great experience. Being in front of a camera doesn't always come easy and having this session was perfect to get to know Erin and to loosen up before the big day. Plus we got a little preview of how INCREDIBLE she makes us look :) The day of our wedding, Erin and her assistant arrived and got to work!! It was perfect. She is excellent at directing positioning for the best light. She made sure to get all the photos on our list and she even made sure everyone in our family looked their best in the photos. We've only gotten our sneak peek and they. are. stunning. I cannot WAIT to see all the photos and the album!!

We were very fortunate to have our wedding shot by Erin Hoyt. She's an absolutely fantastic…read morephotographer who is gifted with the camera and with people. Erin knew some off-the-beat places around Chicago so we were able to get the unique and personalized look we wanted. She was also super easy to work with throughout the planning and execution of our day-- especially with the ever-crazy family photos after our ceremony. My wife and I couldn't have been happier with how our photos turned out and we would absolutely use Erin again if we needed a photographer for other special times in our life!

There is so much to say about Dawn, but the best way to really capture the essence of working with…read moreher, is to work with her! Dawn was fantastic. Due to Covid, we had to reschedule our wedding and had to find a new photographer. A friend recommended working with Dawn and the rest was history. Dawn walked us through what the new schedule would look like, what photos we wanted, and understood how we wanted photos to look. We wanted a more natural, "candid" picture. She was able to adapt to our individual needs. Even before the event, she was extremely helpful, welcoming and addressed our questions in a timely fashion. She also asked questions that helped her understand the unique situation she was asked to take photos for (small wedding, personal premise). When it came to the wedding, Dawn was fantastic. She immediately started scouting for an additional photo spots to ensure she would get the best view point. This was no small feat, she walked a good distance to the tree line and into a small forest. She really wanted to maximize her working area. The photos of the prep time, ceremony, dancing and speeches captured the magic of the evening. Her photos really speak for her craft. To close and probably the most important reason why we're giving Dawn a sparkling review (outside of the photos of course) is that she truly was a pleasure to work with before and during the event. The stress of changing and planning a wedding three times in a year was overwhelming. Dawn was able to fix one of our problems and became an asset to the team. Dawn was extremely wonderful to work with leading up to the event. At the event, Dawn fully integrated and felt like she was truly there as a guest of the wedding. Her personality fit in seamlessly with the atmosphere and jovial energy of the evening. This really stood out as the event was so small. She really added onto the day.

First off, five stars to Amanda Z! Without her review, I'd never have known about the amazingly…read moretalented Dawn Roscoe. Dawn was our wedding photographer, and she also did our engagement shoot. We had met with two other photographers, who were great in their own right, but we immediately "clicked" with Dawn. Her personality put us completely at ease, and her photography style was exactly what we had in mind. Initially I didn't even want to do an engagement photo session. I'm not at all photogenic (believe me, that's not false modesty, but a fact) and I'm not very comfortable posing and having my picture taken. My then-fiance convinced me that having an engagement shoot would be good practice for taking the wedding photos, and would give us an opportunity for Dawn to get to know us better and vice versa, thereby resulting in better photos. As usual, he was 100% correct. We wanted our engagement photos to not be too "staged," so we chose to shoot around our neighborhood, where's there's unusual backdrops and lots of natural settings. At best, I was hoping for a few photos that I could "live with," but they all turned out beautiful. I was blown away. Fast forward to our wedding, and again, Dawn nailed it. The pictures captured all the fun and emotion of a most memorable day. We'll cherish these photos for the rest of our lives. If you're looking for a wedding photographer, I can't recommend Dawn highly enough.

From the moment we had our first meeting with Liz on a very cold night in January, we knew that…read morethere was no one else out there we'd rather have photographing our 12-13-14 wedding. In fact, she ended up being the first vendor we booked, even before we had our venue picked. We knew wherever we ended up, we could trust Liz to capture it perfectly. And she did! Liz gave us pictures that took my breath away and everyone who has seen them has remarked on what an amazing job she did. She and her assistant were able to capture every single emotion and moment we went through that day and presented them beautifully. She is also not a photographer who relies on the current photographic fads (you know, the instagram-y looks) to make her work interesting. Instead, her photographs are classically beautiful and have a more editorial, natural feel. Even the posed formal pictures look natural. They are definitely images that will stand the test of time. Not only is her work amazing, Liz is too. She is professional, patient, interesting, funny, and soooo easy to work with. Even my husband, who hates to have his picture taken, enjoyed being around her so much that eventually he was able to relax and have fun. Ok, the bottom line of this ramble-y review is you want Liz Lui as your wedding day photographer. She is someone who is genuinely excited and happy for the couples she works with and will work her butt off making sure you are just as happy with the photographs as she is.

Absolutely fantastic from the very beginning. We found Liz through a Google search for…read morephotographers in Chicago and after seeing her photos online, decided to set up a meeting. We were a little weary of booking a photographer that didn't come from a personal recommendation, but as soon as we met her we knew she'd be perfect. We booked the very next day -- before we had a venue or anything else picked. We had ~400 people at our wedding and Liz did an absolutely phenomenal job capturing every little detail and put as at ease. She had scoped out the hotel and surrounding area in advance so she knew exactly where to capture photos and worked with us on our timeline to make sure we could get everything we wanted. We received all of our photos within a few weeks of our wedding and every. single. one. of them was stunning. We couldn't be any happier. Definitely one of the best wedding decisions we made. If you have the opportunity to work with Liz, TAKE IT.

Bozena took our wedding photos back in 2022, our newborn photos after our son was born and an extended family photo session. What I love most about Bozena is her attention to detail.

Looking forward to our next session with Bozena!

Jennifer is incredible. Why?…read more - She gives you exactly what you want. She does this by having calls with you and doing engagement shoots to understand exactly the kind of photos you're looking for... and then delivers them. - She is the kind of person you want trailing you for one of the highest-stress days of your life. Sure, you may be used to dealing with pressure at work, but wedding nerves are a whole different ball game from what life usually throws at you. - Her price is reasonable (for what I wanted). If you can get her for your day-of, and like her photography style, this choice is a no-brainer.

I was so impressed with Jenn's process: she sent a thorough branding questionnaire, which admittedly helped *me* hone in on my branding; provided direction on what to bring for the shoot; helped me find a location since I don't have a very photogenic home office; and took amazing photos the day of the shoot. I was super comfortable posing for Jenn, and she helped me pose in the most flattering ways. After our session, she asked me if we could take a few more photos to get more content after the first iteration. She has very high standards for her work, and wants the customer to be happy, which I appreciate! The photos turned out so great. One of the things I told Jenn I wanted to portray was 'approachability' and after I uploaded the new photos to my site, I got a call from a potential client telling me she reached out to me because I looked the most approachable. Mission accomplished! I am so thankful that I reached out to Jenn for these photos, and highly recommend her!
