He never made us feel like he was in a hurry and kept suggesting we move to different locations so that he could take shots with different angles and backgrounds. I almost started to feel bad during the shoot - since he was so kind and eager for the perfect shot I almost had to remind him that our time was up! Our pictures are truly works of art and I can't wait to hang them up around the house. What a local gem. Thank you Mark!

We hired This is Feeling for both photography and videography, and they were truly one of the best…read moredecisions we made for our wedding. 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.

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.

I can't believe I'm the first one to give Rolando a Yelp review! (Whoever is reading this shouldn't…read morebe discouraged from the lack of Yelp reviews. As a bride, I know minimum reviews or a small portfolio may keep you from reaching out to a photographer or videographer, but I'm so glad that we found Rolando! I can gush forever about his photography skills which are amazing! I did a lot of research before stumbling upon Rolando's Wedding Wire reviews (http://www.weddingwire.com/biz/andrade-photography-naperville/3db700ec6787445d.html) then I checked out his blog (http://www.photographybyandrade.com/blog) and then my (now) husband and I met Rolando at a Starbucks for an introductory meeting. Spoiler alert: we booked on-the-spot. Rolando offered a great package at a competitive price. We booked about 7 months in advance. Throughout the months leading up to the wedding, Rolando would reach out to us from time-to-time to check in, and asked us about our photo style, asked us to make a list of specific moments we wanted him to capture (we actually never did the list), and yet I can't think of any moments that Rolando may have missed. He was always accessible via email, phone or text. Our package included an engagement session, which was so much fun, despite the freezing weather, and afterwards, we felt even more reassured that we made the right choice in picking Rolando because he was so passionate and creative about his photography, professional, and down-to-earth. The day of the wedding, Rolando arrived at least 30 minutes earlier than he said he would, and his helper, the second photographer, also arrived early at the groom's house. Rolando was so flexible with all the events throughout the day. (He walked with me and my caravan family to church (about a 10-minute walk in a residential area), hauling his equipment in a suitcase and capturing photos along the way --(something our videographer, separate company, wasn't willing to do). He also joined us in the party bus, then photos at the park, and stayed until like 10:30 PM, (or later?) at the hall. (Rolando had agreed to stay until we said it was okay to leave, or at least until all the traditional events had taken place such as the garter toss, bouquet toss, etc.) If you're still looking for a photographer, you should just call Rolando now and pray that he's not booked yet. Good luck!

I've been struggling with the idea of writing this review, but feel compelled to share our…read moreexperience, as I am sure others may find themselves in the same situation. We first met Otto through a Craigslist advertisement, where he was searching for models to help him explore areas around his new neighborhood of Joliet, IL, to give him inspiration for future shoots there. As the newly-engaged fiancee to a photographer myself, I felt compelled to respond to the ad, and within a few days, we had met Otto in downtown Joliet. As far as Otto's technique and professionalism, I know that the dynamic between a couple and their photographer largely depends on the personalities of each person and the intention with which they approach the shoot, but my partner and I were a bit put off by the excess of light boxes and staged posing. Still, for couples who seek photographers with this style, I do think that Otto would be a great match. Otto is a very friendly and funny person, and we felt that he was respectful and supportive of our relationship, which I am sure is hugely important for any couple contracting someone to capture it on their wedding day! When we received the images from the shoot, we were happy with his work and very grateful that he shared these with us. It wasn't until recently that I began to feel a bit uncomfortable about having worked with Otto. I had stumbled across something he had published that hinted at an anti-gay mentality, and was surprised by this finding. I was initially hurt, but my partner pursued it further with him to allow him the opportunity to explain what he meant. We were met with a response that was offhand and flippant regarding our concern, and could not help but feel the sting of hypocrisy at its finest. This review is not meant to attack Otto on his stance on LGBT rights, as everyone is entitled to his opinion, but I think it is disheartening to work with someone who claims he is supportive of gay marriage when he is working with a gay couple (for monetary gain or otherwise), and who then turns his back on the issue when he is no longer under contract. This may not mean much to most people, as questions of their unions never surface, but I would be doing a disservice to myself and the LGBT community at large by not revealing our experience.

This review is LONG overdue as our wedding was May 2010. *gulp*…read more I have known Otto for years. We went to school together. And although we worked together on many projects, photography was always his strongest love and passion. When we worked together, you could appreciate his sense of detail, his eye and ability to bring out the best in people by disarming the situation. It was a no-brainer when the time came to get married that Otto would be the one to do the photos. We didn't want the standard photos you see so often. We'd seen the work he's done for others and in his own home with his family. With only one request (big family photos), we left him alone to do his work: gave him free reign, full access. And with that, his thoughtful, photojournalistic style made our wedding as vivid in stills as it did in real life that day. In terms of logistics, our non-standard wedding (outdoors, in a public park) were no problem for Otto. He quick assessed the situation and delivered stunning photography that has been the rave of everyone who has seen them. He is strongly strongly recommended. And if you have any questions about his work, please feel free to DM me.
