I cannot express how grateful I am to have chosen Lauren as our wedding photographer! From the…read moremoment we met, it was clear that she was not just there to take photos but to enhance our entire wedding experience. Lauren was incredibly organized, providing valuable advice on timing, poses, and even handling our timeline to ensure everything went smoothly. On the big day, she seamlessly blended into the background while still capturing every special moment, and we are sure the results will be breathtaking! Yes I am writing this review without even seeing our wedding photos because that is how confident I am!!! Lauren has such a warm and friendly demeanor that made us feel completely at ease. If you're looking for someone who goes above and beyond, Lauren Powe is your person. Highly recommended!

Or maybe you don't even believe in love so you're like "who knows how long this marriage will last so let's just get any photographer that shows up in our google search". Maybe you're just boring people so you don't really care so the same standard boring wedding pics are fine for you. So sad. But if you really want something good, like REALLY good, I'm sayin stand out good, creative but not nebulous/pretentious like some hipster crap, but unique still refined, quality expressive of who YOU are as a couple.... you go with This Is Feeling. No question. Unparalleled. In all seriousness we planned and hired well (as much as is possible for businesses you have to hope that deliver on what they say for a hopefully one time event) and out of the dozen whatever venders, This is Feeling was like one of two that actually cared and got everything right. Most of these vendors are just tryin to make easy money with all this wedding markup market stuff. They don't care about your one wedding of hundreds they do. This is Feeling does care though. They're proud of their work and excellent at it. You can hire them, rest easy, and focus on worrying about the other stuff.

From start to finish, they were organized, professional, and incredibly easy to work with. Communication leading up to the big day was smooth and reassuring -- every question was answered quickly, every detail was thought through, and they made the entire experience feel effortless. On the wedding day, the team showed up ready to go and immediately put us at ease. They were warm, friendly, and knew exactly how to guide us without ever making anything feel posed or forced. They captured everything -- the big emotional moments, the tiny in-between ones, and all the energy in the room -- without ever feeling intrusive. Their balance of directing when needed and letting moments naturally unfold was spot-on. The photos and videos themselves are stunning. They somehow managed to bottle up the joy, energy, and emotion of the day in a way we'll treasure forever. The edits are clean, timeless, and beautifully done, and the video footage feels like a true story rather than a montage. They also provided multiple formats and options, which we really appreciated.  Our families and friends haven't stopped talking about how talented the team was -- and we couldn't agree more. If you're looking for a photographer and videographer who are professional, creative, and genuinely invested in making your wedding memories perfect, we couldn't recommend This is Feeling more highly.

We truly could not have found a better photographer. "Thank you" seems hardly enough to say for ALL Jim did to make our daughter's pre-prom gathering sweet, spectacular and memorable. His flexibility, generosity, kindness, smiles, and support without hesitation were all noticed and appreciated. We can not thank him enough for making the prom couples, family, and friends feel so at ease with taking pictures, everyone was so relaxed. The photos he took were just GORGEOUS!!!! So many wonderful moments and they were ALL captured by Jim's AMAZING photograpy!!!! We would recommend him in a HEARTBEAT!!!!

My husband and I got married two weeks ago and we were so blessed to have Roberto as our…read morephotographer. Roberto showed up early and even stayed late after all the guests had left in order to capture stunning night time shots of my husband and I! I was so relaxed all day (which is rare if you're the bride) and that is because my wedding day started off with the perfect photographer that made me feel so comfortable and at ease because he had everything under control. He never had to be asked to take certain shots because he already took them on his own, and he took them better than I could have imagined! He is honestly the perfect, dream photographer for any bride or groom. His photography style is breathtaking and artistic. I could actually feel all the emotions all over again in the photos he captured. We took photos in our hotel room, in the hotel lobby, outdoors and at the venue...and he was able to make lighting and any setting work. Roberto has an eye for detail and beauty that is usually overlooked and he captures it flawlessly. He was able to capture moments even my husband and I and our families overlooked...and he captured them like an artist. He would do anything to get the perfect shot (sometimes we would find him laying on the ground to get the perfect angle). His vision and ideas were beyond my expectations. Not only is he am extremely talented photographer, but he is also fun to be around. He made our bride and groom photoshoot so fun despite it being a very hot 90 degrees sunny day! We were so thankful for him directing us for the perfect shots because when we saw a glimpse of the photos, I seriously believe they belong in a magazine! My guests still tell me how great my photographer was and how he made everyone feel very comfortable being behind the camera. I cannot wait to use him again for future photoshoots and my family has already told me they want him to capture all the future weddings. I highly recommend him to anyone...trust me, you will not regret it! A photographer with unique vision, timeless and stunning photography, and positive energy that makes everyone else around him feel great was a blessing to have on our wedding day. Having Roberto as our photographer was the best decision my husband and I made for our wedding and we will have stunning, surreal images as the perfect memory of the best days of our lives!

We worked with Leah and Kristyna as photographers, and Lauren as the studio manager, and the few images we've seen are absolutely amazing.

We can't wait to see the final prints.

We were so impressed with his work, I couldn't imagine trusting anyone else with the task of capturing our wedding and we could not have been more pleased with the results. His eye for photos is unmatched, he captured our day, the details, the setting and really all the emotions that went along with it. Brad even drove around our venue (we got married at Eagle Ridge in Galena, IL) and found a waterfall for us to have as a backdrop for our portraits!!!!! He really went above and beyond to capture what was such a wonderful day. He also listened to my husband and I about what we found important to capture and made sure he got all the shots we had on our list. Our photos are absolutely gorgeous and I am so glad I have so many wonderful shots to remember such a fantastic day. Brad is so easy and fun to work with and we had a great time going through this process with him. I would recommend Brad for wedding photography, or really any other type, he is fantastic!

Thomas has turned our holiday cards into the kind we are WARNED months in advance by friends and family they can't wait to receive. They capture the personality of everyone of my kids, as well as my wife and I. They are reasonably priced, and have an amazing studio (as well as offer to complete shoots on location where applicable I believe). Simply put: Anyone in the area (and beyond!) should consider them.
