    We couldn't have picked a better photographer. Michael was phenomenal! He was on time, very professional, super nice and his work was fabulous! It was the best money I spent on the entire wedding and at such a great value. Initially I was going to book a photographer from a different company but they just couldn't get it together to at the last minute I booked Michael and I'm so glad things worked out that way. I saved $500 and had the photographer for up to 8 hours, 4 hours longer than the other one would have been. I highly recommend Michael. Thanks for such awesome pictures!

    Michael photographer was an absolute joy to work with! Not only was he friendly and professional, but he was very accommodating to the requests of the bride and groom. He was also very resourceful, and he posted all of our wedding photographs just four days after the event. To top it off, his creativity was second to none, and his artistic abilities were clearly evident in the photographs. Every single picture was breathtaking, thanks to his acute attention to detail. The photographs he delivered will be cherished for years to come!

    Michael was excellent. He took great pictures and was super friendly and inviting with all the guests. He made sure to tell us anytime we wanted a picture of anything to grab him and he would take the pictures. The photos came out absolutely beautiful and everyone kept saying the same thing. I would definitely recommend him!

    Michael is amazing! Your photos are your own- there is no paying per picture after your big day! Our photographer Michael. was incredible- he had a vision (that we didn't always quite know how it would turn out!) and every picture we received is stunning! The price can't be beat, and the photos are perfect! Thank you Michael!

    Photography- Michael.- Michael was a lot of fun! He was our only professional photographer for the day, but didn't mind the running around. He came by the house where the bridesmaids and I were getting ready and got some really great shots. Michael is super creative and easy to work with. He made me feel like a supermodel with the bridal portraits! He was able to capture every emotional moment of the day and got some really fun reception pictures. He even got shots of the little details so we'll remember them always. I couldn't believe it that a week and a half after the wedding the photos were up online and the discs were in my mailbox! AMAZING!

    We used Michael for our 9/10/11 Cape May wedding. He did our photography and we knew right away we were going to love our pictures. He was very enthusiastic about his work and I could tell just by talking to him on the phone that we would work well together. I just got my CD in the mail and we were so happy! He was so easy to work with and we did photo's right after our beach ceremony (around 1pm) then went back after the reception for more photo's around 6. I keep looking at my pictures over and over. I have always loved pictures so this was one of the most important parts of the entire day for me! Thank you so much Michael for preserving one of the best days of my life!

    I had a fantastic experience working with Michael and Taras. They were a pleasure to get to know during the planning process and were a really positive presence throughout our wedding weekend. We are so happy with all of the final photos - they truly capture every aspect of the wedding day in such an accurate light. Wonderful family portraits, great bridal photos, engagement photo ideas! Michael and Taras exceeded our expectations in terms of responsiveness, organization, and professionalism, and on top of that did incredibly beautiful work! They are top 10 wedding photographers!!!

    I couldn't speak more highly of our experience with Michael and Taras. Although we hadn't met prior to arriving on the hawaii, Michael immediately put us at ease with him demeanor and style. Looking over books of him prior work only made me more excited for our wedding. The day of the wedding Michael and Taras were prompt, courteous, helpful and fun. During the scheduled pictures following the ceremony, Michael most impressed me with him ability to coordinate all of our guests and his familiarity with the sun's movement and lighting in moving from location to location. The rest of the day we wouldn't even have known Michael and Taras were there were it not for the pictures they had taken. When the prints arrived I was more than impressed. Hundreds of beautiful selected prints had been printed. Thousands more pictures were provided. The pictures look every bit as wonderful as my memories of the day and I'll always be thankful to Michael and Taras.

    We seen Victoria slideshow.... We have no words, it is divine...! Your work is fascinating, looking already the fifth time together and we can not tear myself out! Our expectation is 3 months worth it, you could easily get us back in built, to revive a distressing feeling that perhaps we were destined to survive merely one day - the day of our wedding! The triumph in our love, waited this moment as much as 5. 5 years, which tried to renew minutes of bliss, and they ran through his fingers like sand with the sea... You managed to give up them forever, although that "stop" is wrong, you might have revived them, all felt, saw and gave... I cry are crying of joy from the point that a piece of my own heart, hearing this everlasting music and seeing your masterpieces, and at the same time it's tears of sadness that each this has already happened within our lives and... Alas, for no reason again... Thank you, Victoria, for the reality that you make our hearts and minds beat stronger, thanks

    Great thanks from all our heart! That was just what we need! Engagement, wedding – these are very bright events of life, they are also very responsible. We planned everything so thoroughly that realized the absence of engagement photographers almost before that very moment… Everything was estimated and we immediately needed some cheap wedding photographer. And I’m so thankful to my friends too. They recommended me Victoria and Michael. These people did their work so professionally, creative and gorgeous! Yes, You are the best Chicago wedding photographers!

    Post-Wedding and my sentiments are still the same. On the day of the wedding he had an assistant and a 3rd photographer who was in training. He was on-time, excited (but relaxed which helped me with my stress), confident, and was great working with our guests. I was left with over 1,000 photographes to pick and choose from. Michael put together a slideshow set to my pic of music as an additional perk and send me my final disk in London (where I now live). I honestly can not think of anything that Michael didn't do well - it was such an easy experience working with him. I would hire him again (maybe I will for some wedding renewal vows in like 20 years!)He's a great value for his level of professionalism, style, and experience. I highly recommend Michael - book him before he becomes too famous and expensive. :)

    Thank you a lot for the wonderful photographs of our engagement. Seeking out bridal photographers I was listing wedding photographer’s prices and had choosed Michael. Now I’m very happy with his artistic and candid work. I may say that he is cheap wedding photographer, but his work is on the highest level. This is the best combination of price and work in Chicago. Wish you further creative success!

    We just had our engagement photo shoot on Sunday and I already got my slideshow on Tuesday morning! I know many of my friends have waited weeks for theirs! We asked for urban/industrail type settings and Colin came up with some great ideas for them (scrap yard, alley, and railroad cars)!

    Colin knows the city so well. His naturally artistic ability allows him to really separate himself from the rest of photographers. Our wedding album is not only a collection of our special day, but a tour of some of Chicago's most eclectic sceneries. His understanding of color, contrast, lighting and architecture is second to none. Most of the venues we visited were outdoors, but Colin even had a rock solid backup if the weather didn't cooperate. He never takes a moment off. He even waited until the evening and then took us on Michigan Avenue to take some unbelievable photos right on the Magnificent Mile!

    Colin is a wonderful photographer, he enjoys Chicago and worked with us to come up with different sites and locales. He is not afraid of the cold! (or the snow) His assistant, Elena, is also very calm and personable. He knows a lot about the inner workings of weddings from his photography experience... as well as the inner workings of the camera. He is always aware of the lighting from the artistic sense, as well as the people. He caught some fantastic expressions on everyone's faces in our wedding slideshow. We were sincerely impressed, as were friends, neighbors, coworkers. Stunning!

    Couldn't have been happier with our choice of photographer for our wedding. From our first meeting with Colin we were impressed, both with him as a person and the work that he showed us. He was thorough in his preparation, and as professional as they come. It was obvious he knew the city well and how to capture it through his lens. On our wedding day, he and his assistants handled our guests well and adapted perfectly to our venue (Oak Brook Marriott Resort). His artistic eye and unique perspective resulted in fun and unique photos that truly captured the energy, emotion and beauty of the day. He and his assistants were always in the right place at the right time, though never intrusive. In particular, the color in our photos just seems to jump off the page. We talked to many photographers, and in the end we're sure we made the right choice. Colin is truly the best, and we look forward to displaying his top-notch work for years to come as we remember our wonderful wedding day... Read more

    You are the best! We thought about different parts of the world for our wedding: on the beach of Miami, under sun of Los Angeles, near the sights of st. Louis, Boston, or somewhere in Kansas City or in exotic Asian country… Then we decided to make this great event in Chicago. With Victoria, local photographer, we understood that this was the best choose we could ever do. Wonderful, lovely photos full of bright colors. These digital wedding photography are like exciting journey through the moments of our joyful great day! Gorgeous work.
