“Hands down best photographer out there!!! Ever since I found Agata on Google for a maternity shoot, I knew I was going to be a returning customer! I came back again a few months later for my newborn’s photoshoot. Once again amazing experience! I know for sure I’m going to be a lifetime customer for Agata for as long as she will be in business! I cannot express how beautiful the photos come out every time we do a photoshoot with her! She is beyond talented, down to earth, and super patient especially with pets and newborns! I would highly recommend Agata to all moms-to-be, families, and newborns to have their photoshoot with her and only her! Super grateful that I found my forever photographer!“

“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!“

“I’ve owned a video production company for 9 years, done a ton of events and worked with many photographers. Ashley and I worked a corporate event together in Chicago and was amazing to work with, extremely professional, and exactly the type of person you want capturing your most important events. Would highly recommend working with her.“

“We had a destination wedding to Schaumburg, IL for our Medieval Ren Fair themed wedding. Our photographer Conrad with Something Blue Photography knocked it out of the park! He made us feel so special and he was so enthusiastic about our themed wedding. The quality of the photos is wonderful. He really captured our personalities and I will cherish these memories forever. Their email communications before the wedding during planning, and after, were so helpful and professional! I would highly recommend picking Something Blue for your wedding photographers!“

“David did an excellent job with my high-end Chicago headshots. As a photographer, it’s stressful being in front of the camera, but he made it easy and comfortable. I got the shots I needed, and his studio is fantastic. Highly recommend.“

“Married on 10/3/25 and our experience was amazing. Truly amazing. From working with the staff prior to our wedding up to our actual wedding day. Of course, Maks, our photographer was honestly the best part of the day. He was INCREDIBLE! The amount of compliments we received from our bridal party, family and friends was like no other. If Maks is available, TRUST ME, request him!!! Although I know many other photographers are exceptional, our experience was top notch and our photos are everything we hoped for.“

“While planning our wedding, one piece of advice we kept hearing from family and friends who were already married was that if they could go back in time, they would invest in a better wedding photographer/videographer. That advice really stayed with us, and we’re so glad we followed it from the beginning because choosing this team was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

From the very start, they were amazing to work with. They were attentive, professional, and listened to all of our requests. On the wedding day, we had several unexpected changes, including street closures and last-minute location adjustments. Despite all of that, they handled everything with such calm and professionalism. They even suggested beautiful alternative locations for our photos and worked seamlessly around our schedule to make sure we still captured everything we wanted.

Their ability to adapt while keeping everything organized and smooth made a huge difference on such a busy day. They captured every important moment and so many meaningful details that we will cherish forever.

When we received our photos and videos, we were beyond happy with the results. Every picture and video brings us right back to that day, and we find ourselves smiling every time we look through them.

We are truly grateful for their incredible work. They are extremely talented, professional, and passionate about what they do. If you are looking for someone to capture your wedding or any important event, I highly recommend them. You will not regret hiring them.“

“Julia is very professional photographer that delivers the best service and skills that you can wish for. Super happy with the results of pregnancy and newborn photos. Highly recommend ?“

“We booked a Fresh 48 session to have pictures of our newborn and family taken at the hospital after delivery. Jake was an absolute pleasure to work with from beginning to end! Booked the date in advance based on my due date but ended up being induced two weeks earlier and he was super accommodating and understanding. During the session, Jake was extremely patient with our rambunctious toddler and captured our family and baby beautifully. He was quick to provide some wonderful sneak peeks and delivered the full gallery a very short time later. Truly cannot say enough good things about him! We look forward to him documenting more family memories and milestones for us in the future!“

“Kenny Kim was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. He is incredibly kind, easy to be around, and genuinely takes the time to get to know every guest. He learned our guests’ names, remembered who was related to who, and made people feel comfortable in front of the camera without ever forcing anything. The photos are beautiful. He captured a perfect mix of clean, timeless portraits and candid moments that actually feel like us. We received hundreds of highlight images within 48 hours, and the full gallery of over 2,000 photos just 12 days later, which was amazing. We’re so grateful for the way Kenny documented our day, and we’ll treasure these photos for a long time. I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer who is talented, professional, and genuinely good to work with. And his prices are extremely reasonable for his experience and caliber/level of skill.“

“I recently did my maternity photoshoot with Alina. Thank you Alina for such a incredible experience!!! I was quite nervous but the comfort and the atmosphere that she gave made me enjoy every captured moment ? I was very much impressed with the final edited pictures, beyond what I had imagined. I strongly recommend Alina to those who want pictures of themselves that really reflect their best side??“

“Randy is simply the best!! He was so easy to work with from beginning to end and gave us great ideas when we weren't quite sure how to pose. On the day of our wedding, I actually got stuck in the elevator with Randy and his team on the way to my first look with my husband! They made sure I didn't freak out (too much) and still made sure we got all of our pictures we wanted. It was even chilly during our photos and Randy let me borrow his jacket between shots so l wouldn't get too cold! We are so happy with how our pictures came out and are happy to have them forever“

“My photoshoot was so much fun! Sue was extremely helpful in making sure I had fun with my poses and the pictures were exactly what I needed for my business!!! 10 out 10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!“

“Peter was exceptional. The photos were taken quickly and he was able to truly capture our amazing wedding in wonderful detail. We also received access to our digital copies within days to relive the moment in bliss (it goes by fast).“

“Dennis’ work is simply amazing! Hands down a great photographer who truly takes pride in his work. I've hired him a couple times a month for the last 2 years to document private healthcare office build-outs and recommend him to any business owner, architect, or builder wanting to their work to stand out. As much as I hesitate to share a good secret, this one is too good to keep to myself. Hire Dennis Jourdan Photo & Video. You'll be so glad you did.“

“Al has been my go-to photographer, since 1997. Everything from my wedding portraits, to cherished photos from my modeling days, as well as my business headshots. He sees his subjects from an artist's point of view, and I trust him implicitly, to capture something special and unique. He's always understood my love of timeless images; photos that seem to fit in any era, with a classic aesthetic.It's the subtle things he notices and brings to the photo, as well as his tendency to think outside the box to improvise, that give his photos their magic.“

“Jan was so fun to work with! She was great at getting smiles out of our young kids, and got some really lovely pictures of our whole family!“

“I can not remember how I found Doru, but so happy we did. From the very beginning I knew we found the perfect photographer for our destination wedding and was thrilled when he agreed to come to Cabo. Doru was great communicating with us the entire time, never missed an email or text from us and would answer back quickly. The day of our wedding, he did a great job getting all the pictures we could possible want. I was worried about pictures with the sun and ocean but Doru's pictures were better then either of us could have imagined. They turned out gorgeous.“

“We’ve had the pleasure of working with Jennifer on several of our film and video productions, and she’s been an absolute rock star every single time. She’s incredibly professional, reliable, and adaptable, even when things get hectic or plans change on the fly — which they always do on set!

One of the things we appreciate most is how great she is at keeping our talent calm, comfortable, and confident, no matter the situation. That positive, reassuring energy makes a huge difference and helps everything run more smoothly. On top of that, her special effects makeup skills are next level — she’s pulled off some seriously impressive transformations for us.

If you’re looking for someone who’s not just talented but also a true team player, Jennifer is the one you want on your crew. Highly recommended!“

“He was excellent. Our videos and photos are amazing. I strongly recommend to work with him for your celebrations“

“We had the pleasure of working with Toplight Photography for our wedding. It was overall truly a great experience. From booking the date to discussing what type of photo style we would like, it was a seamless process! We also received our sneak peek photos quickly after the wedding as well as our entire wedding album. We loved working with Toplight. They made my husband and I feel very comfortable throughout our entire wedding day as well as our engagement session beforehand. Highly recommend and we will definitely be using them in the future!“

“Harry was an awesome photographer to have on our wedding day! He was so sweet to meet us with us a week before the wedding at check out the venue for photo ideas in case the weather was bad. He had so many great ideas for photos! Harry was so considerate he took a couple of pictures on his cell phone and texted them to me after the wedding so I had some right away! Harry was great and I can’t wait to get the rest of my pictures!“
