We hired Something Blue Photography for our destination wedding October 18. We had a small,…read moreintimate ceremony with our closest family and friends in the Spring Valley Nature Park in Schaumburg, IL. Conrad was our photographer and he knocked it out of the park! For months before the wedding, their whole team was professional and quick with responding to any questions I had. They were transparent and well-organized. We had two phone meetings to meet with Conrad before the big day. Even before the wedding, Conrad was so sweet and eager to shoot our Medieval wedding. His own excitement made me look forward to the wedding even more, since he genuinely wanted to be apart of it. He is so talented! And he went above and beyond on the day of by not only getting photos at the ceremony cabin, but ALSO traveled with us to Medieval Times (even waiting in line with us while we checked-in) so we could get interior photos. He captured the magic of our day! I've only seen a few sneak peeks of images (it's only been 4 days since the wedding!) and they are incredible, right out of a movie. I can't wait to see them all! Conrad made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Bo, my camera shy husband, looks incredible and Conrad was able to bring out the twinkle that I see in his eyes. I can't thank you all enough. These are the people you want to take your wedding photos, trust me!!!

Our experience with Something Blue has been excellent from engagement photos through our wedding…read more They were always communicative and collaborative, and the photos and video we've seen so far are stunning. When an illness came up, they were easily able to shift their coverage to make sure we still had two photographers and a videographer for the full time, which was a huge relief. Conrad, Ashley, and Jackson covered our wedding, while Liz did our engagement photos, and everyone was so lovely to work with. They were all so kind to us and did everything they could to make us feel comfortable throughout the day, which made everyone feel more at ease, even those of our party that were a little camera shy. Their guidance for photos was so helpful, and our family and friends have all been impressed with what they've seen so far. We are so grateful and highly recommend them!

She was super friendly and nice, and I LOVE every shot! I would say after looking at her photos, it made me realize how important it is to hire the right photographer to capture something that'll only happen once.

We got married at the Lily Pools in Chicago and it was everything I could have hoped for.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the results and cannot stress how effortless the entire process was. 11/10, would recommend to everyone for literally any event.

Our pictures did not turn out as we hoped. The pictures were to celebrate my son's first birthday…read more I had one simple request--that she use a white background. I even sent her pictures so she could know what I was looking for my sons special first photo shoot. But instead I got a dark barn wood I told her I did not want. I was surprised to see it when we arrived for the shoot. I hated it but I was afraid to tell her since she was already set up, I only had half an hour, my son was getting impatient and I felt very rushed. The photos turned out as we thought--odd. Our son smiled in all of them so we at least have that, but we were extremely disappointed. I had one simple request--a white background. I don't know why she would not use it if I requested it and she had it. She knew I did not want the dark barn wood. Theres $300 down the drain. But worse, we can't get this memory back.

The weather was not great for the engagement shoot, but the photos Gina took came out amazing. The wedding photos are even better, she had very quick turnaround time.

Her prices are so reasonable and she responds very quickly to all my emails and texts. I highly recommend Gina, she and Liv were fantastic!

My husband and I hired Garbero Photography to photograph our wedding and reception in Portland, OR…read morein October of 2010, so this review is long overdue! What an excellent job-- from our friendly first meeting to the final product, Gina, our photographer, was able to capture the pre-ceremony excitement, the beauty of the wedding itself, and the fun and crazy reception with ultimate professionalism and class. Plus...the photos turned out great! Upon review of the photos, I was amazed at just how many moments were captured with just one photographer that day! Some highlights of my experience with Garbero Photography: 1. Through the entire ceremony I never noticed the photographer, never felt like I had a camera's eye on me and neither did those attending the wedding. She was able to capture all the vital parts of the ceremony from various vantage points without disrupting the flow and feel of the event. 2. My bridesmaids loved her sense of humor and some great photos were the result (think vamping for the camera) 3. The photographer was able to get a portrait of every wedding guest or couple. This was not only appreciated by us, but many of the guests were happy to have a professional portrait of themselves as a keepsake. 4. We were able to get a sneak peak at some of the best shots of the day very soon after the wedding. This was great as I was still reliving the day over and over in my head! 5. Gina had a great eye for capturing special moments, small details, and the energy of the event while still managing to take quality professional photos of all the important parts of the ceremony and reception (ring exchange, first dance, cake, etc) She never missed a moment! I highly recommend Garbero Photography for any event or portrait!

There are two things that you will have forever after your wedding:…read more 1. your spouse 2. your photographs My husband and I are so happy that we hired Anna Guziak as our wedding photographer. First, the planning process with Anna was very easy; she offers a few packages to suit your budget, and she was willing to travel to Chicago to check out our unique first look location prior to the wedding. Upon meeting Anna in person, we knew we hired the right person: she is very warm, kind, and immediately understood what we wanted to capture on our wedding day. The day of the wedding, Anna and her husband Paul very efficiently (it was VERY HOT out) were able to take our first look, bridal party, and family photos. Upon going into the ceremony, both my husband and I completely forgot Anna and Paul were there... they were not in our face, and we got to enjoy our wedding night without feeling like we were always posing for photos. Okay, so here is the kicker... it's not the staged photos that blew our minds (they are perfect and lovely), but the spontaneous and natural photos. Anna captured the moments that no one else saw: the gestures between bride/groom/bridal party, the laughter, the nerves, and most importantly all the joy and love in the room. Every single photo we received was perfect. And we received them within a few weeks from our wedding! I cannot recommend Anna Guziak enough as a wedding photographer. Our photos turned out beautiful, and I am so happy that we will have them forever: we get to relive the best night of our lives for the rest of our lives.

From start to finish Anna is warm, kind, and so extremely talented. Her and her husband were able to capture all the moments and emotions from the day, so we have an amazing collection of photos to remember forever. They were also our FAVORITE vendors to work with. Paul and Anna were with us all day and the day would not have been the same without them. Not to mention the pictures they were able to capture were absolutely stunning, and she had them sent to us within a few weeks of the event! All our friends and family adore the photos and are excited to order from her easy to use online gallery. We are so happy with our photos from the wedding!!! If you are looking for a great photographer to tell your wedding story Anna Guziak Photography is a perfect choice.

Thank you to Emma Mullins Photography for partnering with us to plan and achieve an amazing…read moreelopement ceremony. Emma was an enthusiastic cheerleader and supporter to us along our wedding planning journey. Emma is very responsive, enthusiastic, detailed and creative, and helped us accomplish a fantastic wedding day.  Emma helped us identify creative ways to replan our wedding during COVID19, and was incredibly flexible as our plans changed multiple times. We ultimately were able to get married in a small ceremony at Starved Rock State Park in IL, and Emma went above and beyond and drove out there a few weeks before the wedding to scout out some beautiful spots for photos.  During our wedding day, we had photography services with Emma and videography services with her colleague Carlos. Their team helped us feel excited and confident throughout the whole wedding day. Emma's positivity and energy helped us have SO much fun during our photo sessions. Carlos was able to creatively capture video from the full day and we were so impressed by the sound and visual quality of the videos. Emma captured the colors, joy and essence of the day in her photos. Looking back at the photos and videos brings us and our families so much joy. Emma and Carlos sent us highlight photos and a highlight video in just a couple weeks (we paid extra for expedited delivery) , and then the full set of photos and the full video came to us a couple months later. We LOVED working with Emma and her team, and we definitely recommend her for anyone in the Chicago area. Well worth the money! P.S. Thank you to Emma's husband, Jeremy, who stepped in to be our wedding officiant at the last minute due to our plans changing during COVID19. Working with Emma and her team felt like we were working with family. Thank you!
