Responsive, an expert at his craft, his wife Agnes was awesome as well. Cannot recommend Emil and his team enough. The best price point we had and the best vendor we had! We are still loving our engagement and wedding photos from last year. He met us downtown for engagement photos and was incredibly flexible. The photos from the wedding were insanely beautiful. And he capped it off last night with our reception a year later. So grateful for Agnes and him. The photo booth he ran was such a hit as well! My friends already have selected him as their photographer/videographer when they eventually get married too. Video was insanely nice and something we will cherish forever. And the photo book was beyond anything we could've expected. Our best vendor by far!! He also was incredibly accommodating with covid splitting our wedding into two years without any issues or hassle.

My now fiancé hired Emil to photograph the proposal and booked him for an hour afterward so we could do an engagement shoot around my favorite city. He shared Emil was fairly priced in comparison to other quotes he'd received and was extremely communicative leading up to and after the surprise. It was executed flawlessly and I had absolutely no idea Emil was there for us!! Emil got our photos back to us within a day and they. Are. Gorgeous. I cannot thank and recommend Emil enough for capturing our special moment for us so beautifully.

Steve's name and website was included on the list I received back from our agent. Steve and I communicated via email to discuss the look I wanted for the pictures.

He does movie stills, catalog work, studio and documentary. To be able to get talent like his for a wedding is rare. Some friends (Dante & Lisa) had him as a photographer and the photos they were presented with were astounding. RANT: (((I have some other friends who hired a "bargain" photographer who must have had ultra sharpening turned up to 11 -- everyone looked wrinkled -- plus that guy just dumped 5000 unedited and unretouched photos online for everyone to sift through.))) END RANT Matt edits and retouches the final shots. He puts real work into his photography and he has a REAL EYE and 25 years of experience (he did my sister's wedding 16 years ago-- but that was back in the days of TriX & Proof Sheets)

But years later, we have no wedding album and not a single professional wedding photo in a frame to show for it. He is impossible to motivate, and he would often drop off the radar for months at a time as we tried to reach him. He always had plenty of excuses when he finally resurfaced. DO NOT hire him if you actually want to end up with pictures of your special event.

While shooting my pictures he had so many awesome ideas that I wouldn't have ever came up with. And not to mention that he is also an awesome guy in general! So funny and laid back but he takes his work very seriously. Id reccomend him to anyone!!!!

From the moment we met him, he put my daughter at ease with his friendly demeanor and clear direction. Doru has an incredible eye for capturing both the iconic Loyola campus spots and finding unique, unexpected settings that made my daughter's photos truly stand out. He knew exactly how to work with the natural light and architecture to create stunning compositions that perfectly captured this milestone in her life. What impressed me most was how he balanced professionalism with making the session fun and relaxed. My daughter isn't usually comfortable in front of the camera, but Doru's encouragement and gentle guidance brought out her authentic smile and personality in every shot. The turnaround time was impressive, and when we received the final gallery, we were absolutely blown away. The quality, variety, and emotional impact of these photos exceeded all our expectations. We've received countless compliments on them from family and friends. If you're looking for a senior photographer who goes above and beyond to create beautiful, meaningful images that you'll treasure forever, Doru is absolutely the person to call. We're already planning to book him for our younger child's senior photos!

They offer a very professional but relaxed and flexible experience. Christian Yah and Ali were our photographers, both were phenomenal and really added to our special day.

There was a great back and forth of our ideas and how they can be shot. Day of he was super efficient, we were ahead of schedule most of the time without feeling rushed.
