Amanda did our engagement shoot shortly after we booked for our wedding, allowing us to get a sense of what working with her on our wedding day would be like. We felt so comfortable with her from the start and loved our engagement shots. On our wedding day, Amanda was sooo incredibly efficient and on task, that everything felt that it went so smoothly to us--Im sure there were hiccups in getting all the shots needed, but I wouldn't have known. Amanda also has stuck to her contract throughout the process, sending us sneak peeks for us to have the day after our wedding and delivering our whole wedding album to us weeks prior to when the contract stated. She is incredibly reliable, which can't be said of all photographers. Trusting her to capture our biggest day yet was the best decision, and I look forward to booking Amanda for any future photography needs we have.

Amanda is a phenomenal photographer. She is wonderful to work with and delivers beautiful images…read more But her talent goes way beyond that. She is the ultimate hype man. She will go hard for you and your day. She has an amazing sense of style and can provide advice well beyond photography. She meant so much to us throughout our wedding journey. In the midst of COVID, she bought into our dream of going to Paris for engagement photos. I never wanted engagement photos, but my planner highly recommended them, so I figured, if I was going to do them, I wanted them to be epic. Amanda DELIVERED. And my planner was right. It allowed us to get to know Amanda, and for her to know our awkward non-PDA selves. When the wedding rolled around, one thing I was not worried about was our photos. As soon as Amanda walked in the room, I was immediately put at ease. She is so on top of things that I knew she wouldn't let anything go wrong. I loved every minute of our day, and I'm so glad we got to share those times with Amanda. And that her incredible skill was able to capture them for us to relive forever through her photos. She is unparalleled in capturing those special, heartfelt moments. Our whole wedding party loved her. Friends that have never liked a wedding photographer, couldn't stop gushing about her. I cannot recommend using Amanda enough for your wedding. We are honored to have had our day captured by her.

From the moment we met Jake for cocktails in Logan Square, we knew we wanted him to document the most important day of our lives. Jake is extremely professional, beyond friendly, crazy talented, and an all around awesome guy. He made us feel super comfortable throughout the entire process and was always checking in with us the months leading up the wedding to make sure we didn't have any questions, concerns, etc. He even did a wedding week prep call with us to go over all of the logistics for the day! For the wedding day itself, he was the perfect person to capture photos of us! We felt super at ease with him, and loved getting to take photos with just us and him post-ceremony in the neighborhood surrounding our incredible venue - Ovation. We are in love with our photos, and cannot stop looking at them! We would highly recommended working with Jake for your wedding or any occasion where you'd like gorgeous photos taken. He was the absolute best!

Dartise had taken our engagement pictures and we were so excited he was shooting our wedding…read more Dartise and his assistant Chris worked incredibly hard for our wedding. Some couples feel that searching for a wedding photographer is a bit nerve wrecking but knowing Dartise was taking our pictures we didn't worry about anything. Several guests commented on how they were everywhere at once, never missing a moment. When we received our final photos, that certainly proved true! My husband and I couldn't be happier with Dartise's work and most importantly we felt he really cared about our experience and he was able to capture our memories and emotions from that day and he certainly succeeded. "Now show me some sass..."-Dartise

I've heard some horror stories about wedding photographers and I'm here to tell you future brides…read more. working with Dartise Photography is an absolute DREAM! From the fair pricing to the impeccable service to the final product, I couldn't have asked for anything more. Dartise took the time to get to know us as a couple. He found out what our personalities are like apart and together so he knew what to focus on when it came to capturing the TRUE moments during our big day. I felt like this made our photos truly unique... different than other weddings he shot. He definitely is not a run-of-the-mill "pose, tilt your head and smile"-type photographer. He makes taking pictures (gasp!) FUN!! I had a few compliments on my vendors from my wedding, but everyone complimented me on my photographer choice. Dartise knew everyone's name in our bridal party before we left the church!! And we had a BIG bridal party... now that's talent!! My guests were so impressed with him... some were even taking pictures of him taking pictures!! Also, several couples who were at our wedding and were married shortly afterwards hired Dartise to be their photographer, some even from out of state. Trust me brides, it will be the memorable day of your life... but you will NOT remember everything because it passes by like a flash of light. Thankfully, Dartise was there capturing the moments I want to relive every day. And thanks to his amazing pictures, I can! You would be hard-pressed to find a photographer as hard working and as talented as he is. His services and kindness were worth every penny. Book him now before it's too late!! P.S. He also did our engagement photos which were equally incredible!

Hidden on a side street in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood, Xquisx Photography houses the studio of a…read moresuper-talented photographer. Simply put, Eric is a genius behind a camera. With Playboy in his background, Eric is not only a well-trained, consummate professional, he's got an aptitude for erotica and he's not afraid to use it. I wanted professional, sexy photos for my husband, but I don't photograph well. A friend recommended Eric of Xquisx and, after seeing photos he took of her, I saw why. They were amazing! I've known and liked Eric for years, and I knew he was a professional photographer. What I didn't know was that my time with him would dramatically and positively change my opinion of him, myself, erotica and female beauty forever. My visit to Eric's studio started out uneventful. I hit the buzzer, walked up the steps, crossed the porch and knocked on the door of Xquisx carrying a bag of sexy costumes, makeup, jewelry and shoes. Eric's wife greeted me at the door (she's a lovely, talented artist, as well). Eric soon joined his wife in greeting me. He offered me water, which I gratefully accepted. I was nervous. I felt fat. I told Eric I didn't want my rolls/wrinkles/blemishes to show. He laughed, and told me to have a little faith. Then he led me downstairs. The studio is comfortable and well appointed. A separate bathroom nearby provides a private place for changing and preparing for the shoots. Jazzy, bluesy music added a level of comfort and fun. I dressed in my most conservative outfit to start. Eric asked me to pose on his "stage" while he tested the light levels and set up his background. His camera started flashing and, before long, I was playing the part of "model." Many shots, costume changes and poses later, I was flushed, tired and optimistic. Eric showed me some of the shots on his PC display. I couldn't believe it! He captured me in ways I didn't know were possible. Later, when he sent me the final product, I was astonished! Is that me?? Eric didn't try to cover my imperfections; he highlighted and presented them in artistically interesting and beautiful ways. I LOVED my pictures and immediately started loving my "imperfections!" Eric of Xquisx did not try to change me into a movie star or model, nor did he airbrush me into society's opinion of perfection (that's for amateurs). No, what Eric did was show me a different way of seeing my beauty through the eyes of a master lensman who knows erotica, art, photography and the true meaning of female beauty. My husband was thrilled with the results. And I'm thrilled with me. NOTE: Eric also took photos of my husband, and made him seem like a gorgeous male model ... I highly recommend Xquisx, especially if you wish to see yourself through the eyes of a talented, pro-woman, erotic photo artist. This could really change your life.
