“Essence was truly phenomenal for our September wedding! Joe was our photographer and Adrien was our videographer, and both did an incredible job. We absolutely love all of our photos and are obsessed with our wedding video. They captured the day so beautifully and gave us moments we’ll cherish forever.

We also used their formalwear company and highly, highly recommend them! I especially cannot say enough great things about Gerry. We had finalized the groomsmen shoes, belts, and tie colors well in advance. When my husband went with his dad and brothers to pick up their tuxes, I was on FaceTime to see everything and I immediately felt overwhelmed because it looked completely different than what we had originally chosen.

Gerry went above and beyond to make it right. He worked so hard to accommodate my wants, switching every pair of shoes from brown to black, changing the tie colors entirely, and even giving us belt options plus suspenders so we could try everything together. He was patient, kind, and genuinely cared about making sure we were happy. After everything he did, I felt 10,000 times better, and the tuxes turned out amazing. I’m so grateful for his dedication and attention to detail!“

“We had the best experience with Mina & Victor for our engagement shoot + wedding day! We did our engagement photos in pouring rain and Mina assured us they’d still turn out beautiful and she did not disappoint! Our wedding photos are to die for! Victor captured so many beautiful moments during our ceremony and reception. We love S7MP!“

“The pictures are amazing.
The attention to details.
Every thing is perfect .
Color or black and white pictures are really really beautiful.“

“Jess did such a beautiful job on our pregnancy announcement/maternity pictures, I’ll cherish them forever! She even got our dog to pose perfectly for the photos. Can’t wait to use her again in the future!“

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience with H Photography and Doru! From our very first meeting, Doru impressed us with his professionalism, warmth, and genuine interest in getting to know us as a couple. He took the time to understand our wedding photography vision—what moments mattered most to us, what style we loved, and how we wanted the day to feel in photos. That level of personal attention meant so much and made the entire process—from our engagement session to the big day—feel seamless and enjoyable.
Doru’s expertise in journalistic photography perfectly aligned with our desire for photos that felt real, emotional, and timeless. He has a rare gift for capturing the in-between moments—the laughter, the quiet glances, the joy on our guests' faces. Every image feels alive, and our photos tell the full story of the day in such an authentic and beautiful way.
Our engagement session was a great preview of what was to come. Doru helped us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, which really shows in the natural, relaxed photos we received. On our wedding day, he was everywhere without ever being intrusive—present, perceptive, and always ready to capture a meaningful moment.
The final product was beyond anything we imagined. The photos themselves are stunning, and the leather-bound photo album he created is a true work of art. Flipping through its pages brings back every emotion from our wedding day—it’s something we’ll treasure forever.
If you’re looking for a photographer who listens, understands your vision, and brings it to life with artistry and heart, we wholeheartedly recommend H Photography and Doru. His experience, creativity, and genuine care shine through in every single photo, and we’re so grateful for the memories he preserved for us.“

“Melissa is great to work with! My daughters love photoshoots with her (ages 7 and 4). They said it’s the best time ever! Their enthusiasm is seen in the pictures. She’s very approachable and great with kids. Highly recommend booking her for your next family photo shoot.“

“Becca is talented, thoughtful and genuinely there to capture beautiful moments for your family to cherish. She has taken our family photos twice. The first time was when I was pregnant unexpectedly with my second, and didn't want to bust out of the outfits we had planned for Fall photos. She fit us in as quickly as possible, and made my vision come to life with great tips on how to style a hat, work with wind, or have a toddler crack a smile. Her aftershoot edits meant that my dog was well behaved and looking at the camera :) Our second shoot was our newborn shoot and I couldn't have been more impressed. She is so patient with the world of small kids and babies. We couldn't even start until 45 minutes past the scheduled time because of feedings. And my toddler didn't want to behave so lots of downtime between shots to get him to cooperate. Moreover, we missed a picture I wanted in a particular outfit. She happily had me come back for a quick session to take that singular photo, which involved recalming the baby with nursing and then she carefully coaxed him into a perfect slumber. I was CONVINCED there would be no nice photos of me or my older son given how poorly he was behaving. I was astounded to see absolutely beautiful photos, joy, and tranquility. She managed to capture fleeting smiles and moments of peace, work the aftershoot edits, and give us family photos better than we imagined and certainly better than what was warranted with my kid's behavior, lol. Becca's shoots have a lot of artistry to them and I'm excited to work with her over the years - her persevering attitude, kindness, and skill make her one of kind for sure!“

“Adam has done an incredible job gathering photo content, developing a recipe video series, and creating an outdoor dining video for us in St. Charles, IL. His creativity, attention to detail, and great communication are just some of the many qualities that make him so wonderful to work with.“

“I needed some professional photos for my website (I’m an art teacher), and Travis did an exceptional job (my friends and family were blown away!). He was fun and creative during the shoot, and got me the final edited versions within days. He’s also photographed my band and other bands in the area, and his skills with a camera absolutely capture the energy, subtlety, and passion of each moment. I absolutely recommend his work for whatever capacity you require beautiful professional photographs!“

“Dave is our "house" photographer for our company profile pictures! He is super easy to work with, and very accommodating. He also helped us modify pictures for our website redesign as well. I'm very happy I found him, it's nice to know that one aspect of my job is covered. (Highly Recommended)“

“We used Fred Fox Studios for a photo booth at our recent event in Schaumburg, Illinois, and it was a huge hit! Rick was our attendant, and he was fantastic--super friendly and made sure everyone had a blast. The booth had tons of fun props, and the photos turned out great. Really made our night special. Highly recommend!“
