Chicago Wedding Photographer

Great value! Make sure that you get a package deal...photographer with dj...it is much less expensive than going with separate vendors. If you are in the DC/MD/VA area, I HIGHLY recommend Michael as your photographer. He was absolutely amazing. We will be using his for any future needs or recommendations!

Michael photography was amazing! It was such a great deal - can't beat it. He was awesome. He took great, beautiful shots! Michael even posted a preview of pictures within 24 hours and then had all 1250 pictures up within a week! What a wonderful treat to see all the pictures so promplty! I would highly recommend Michael.

Michael is the best photographer. Our guests are still talking about how fantastic he was! We are beyond pleased with our photographs. Michael was very professional, flexible and provided fantastic service. It's hard to believe he captured every minute of our wedding and reception. We shopped around for photographers for almost 6 months. We couldn't believe the exception value we got on our package and how fantastic the photographer and the photos were. Just awesome!

I highly recommend Taras. He was wonderful! He took 1200 pictures. Most of them were excellent. You hope for one money shot of the couple. We have 50 or more fabulous shots. He has the artist "eye". The composition of the photos were spot on! He also was professional and personable. Have no reservations about choosing him as your photographer.

Michael, despite late contact, handled everything thoroughly and professionally. Our specific videographer Michael took beautiful footage of our wedding day and captured everything perfectly from the details of the site, to the reception details, to the ceremony and reception highlights. Everything was done perfectly and professionally. Every special moment was caught and everything truly looked great. I'm grateful to Michael for recording our wedding day to last a lifetime.

Awesome company! Great price! My advisor was extremely helpful, the photographer was fantastic, professional, and had great photo ideas! I just got our pictures back, and I couldnt be more pleased! I researched a lot of photographers before deciding Michael, none of him came close. I definitely recommend this company!

Our photographer was Michael and he did a fantastic job. The pictures turned out extremely well and he took over a thousand photographs so nothing was missed! He was well organized and worked efficiently to get all the shots in without taking up too much time. He is a perfectionist and works hard to take high quality photos.

My assigned planner was amazing, very responsive and quick to make the additions I asked for. The day of the photographers were very personable and discussed with me exactly what I wanted. They made sure to get the photos I specically requested, artistic photos, and fun candid shots. After the wedding they were very quick to post the pictures online (http://www.facebook.com/WeddingPhotographerinChicag o) and send them to me.

Taras was an amazing photographer! He took some truly beautiful shots during the ceremony, reception and our family photos. The images were quickly set up on line and the disc sent out to me VERY quickly! Everyone that worked with Taras during my wedding made a comment about how great He was at placing everyone quickly, getting the shots and letting them go back to the party!

We found out about Michael and his team through our venue. They have a package where you can get photographer, videographer for a flat rate and then any other upgrades would be extra. Our photographer was phenomenal. He exceeded our expectations and delivered on all of our photos. There was not one photo that we did not like. Thank you Michael.

Taras was our photographer on our wedding day. He was a consistent professional and very personable making him very easy to work with. We could tell from the moment that we met him (weeks before our wedding) that he is very passionate about what he does. His work is artist, memorable and beautiful. His attention to detail is amazing and his knowledge of how to create special effects using lighting, camera angles, and varying lenses is inspiring. He is very laid back but was able to keep the fun-loving energetic bridal party focused on taking pictures. We found ourselves in a tight time crunch and Taras kept us moving and got the best pictures in a short time. I would recommend him to any bride and groom.

I’ve seen many wedding pictures done by photographers Michael and Taras and they have always looked great so choosing this company was easy. They was amazing!! They was so professional but fun at the same time. Our pictures turned out better than I could have imagined. My photos were posted on Michael`s website (https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/104383227756362015161 /104383227756362015161/posts) 4 days after the wedding and I received my CDs of pictures within 2 weeks! For my photo album I can pick 350 photos to go in it and there all so amazing we're having a hard time narrowing it done to 350!

Michael is wonderful. From the moment I met him at the showcase, he made me feel relaxed and that I would be in good hands. The phone meeting I had the week of the wedding only confirmed that. He likes things streamlined and efficient, which I appreciated, because that meant we could get the pictures out of the way and get to the party faster! He took so many wonderful shots and I can't wait to see them! Thanks again for everything!

I'm a professional NYC photo producer; and I give my 100% recommendation to The Pros -my consultant. and my photographers: Michael and Taras. I wanted that popular Californian (available/sunlight) photojournalistic look to my garden/day wedding. With great weather and The Pros team -my wedding and ceremony is eternally saved forever in beautiful, elegant and classic portraiture, casual captures, still lives (shoes, gown, rings, flowers) and landscapes. Besides being one of the best priced event packages -they enlist talented, really professional photographers who are nice people who listen and care.

Michael was absolutely amazing. He kept the party going and was amazing on the fly for things like the flower girl and ring bearer walking in with the best man/MOH. He made it look like it was supposed to be that way w/o missing a beat. Also when the kids asked to talk into the mic, he was super patient and easy going. Honestly I was a little worried about them touching his equipment but he was super laid back. I am so glad that he is apart of the pros team and I hope he is still around when it comes to my daughters sweet 16 in a little over 2 years! Thanks so much! Michael was super accomodating and very professional.

Fantastic service from the Michael and his team! When our original photographer became ill on the morning of the wedding (panic time!) they arranged for a substitute who arrived at the bridal prep suite right on-time and stayed with the bridal party throughout the prep, ceremony, formal pictures and reception. Michael was absolutely fantastic! His photos are very creative and artistic - we couldn't have asked for more! Taras - the second photographer who began the day with the groom and groomsmen was also terrific. Thank you Michael!

Michael captured the day that I was joined with my life partner with out blemish. Michael made sure that as a bride I knew exactly what to expect. Our wedding was a surprise to our guest, therefore it was important that the photographer captured every moment. As I looked at my wedding gallery I was in awe of recapturing my day. From the first meeting I told him I wanted pictures in the snow, the night after the ceremony we were taking pictures at North Hills in the snow.

Taras is both an amazing photographer and person! Our wedding was held at our place of worship, World Overcomers Christian Church, and he was very knowledgeable about the dynamics particular to our church. Our raw pictures in our gallery are very nice in quality. Taras had an engagement after our wedding, but did not leave until he felt completely comfortable about capturing images he anticipated we would like. We received our images MUCH quicker than we projected! We spoke with various photographers during the planning phase; Taras had the best customer service -- by far! He made us feel like he actually cared about making our union memorable; rather than us being another client that he would simply profit from, this was key for us! I (bride) spoke with various photographers via telephone, but at after the consultation my husband was ‘sold’! During the ceremony and reception, Taras was very friendly, pleasant and patient with our family and guest. We would highly recommend Taras for y... Read more

Planning an out of town wedding can be stressful, but after one phone call with Michael, I knew there was nothing to worry about. He is personable, professional, and his experience shined through. Not only does he have a great eye for capturing images, he captures memories. Your amazing work will be there for our children, their children and so on. Thank you so much Michael.

Taras did an amazing job capturing our wedding day!! From our first consultation to the delivery of the final product....His professionalism and his patience in making sure that he captured every shot were beyond anything that we could have ever hoped for. He will forever be a major part of our lives because he has given us memories that will last a lifetime. The name speaks for itself...IN HIS IMAGE....!

Taras did a phenomenal job capturing my wedding day from beginning to end. Taras's professionalism, timeliness, friendliness, flexibility, attention to detail, and the list goes on is second to none. Each image captures the love and commitment between my husband and I as well as my family and friends. As a bride I was be caught up in the hustle and bustle of the day and it is was difficult to take it all in but it was so refreshing and quite entertaining for my husband and I to see our wedding day captured from beginning to end. Taras captured every detail and when I look at my wedding pictures I relive the emotions felt at that time. God has blessed Taras with a wonderful gift and I am grateful that he shared his gift with us. Thank you Taras for providing us with memories for a lifetime.

There really aren't any words that explains Michael...however if I had to, I would have to say..."AMAZING".."DRIVEN"..& ; "PASSIONATE" About what he does....Michael was with me thru out my whole Journey leading to our big day...He shot our engagement session...my Bridal Shoot & Our Entire Wedding Day!..Michael is very focused on delivering the BEST...he simply will not stop until he feels that he's shot the right shot....he is very patient..professional & welcoming. He's flexible & will work around the customers schedule...Michael was prompt for each photo session that we had...his studio is very clean & professional as well..Michael captured some of the most detailed shots on our wedding day...not one person that looks at our photo's do so without immediately interupting & saying something very favorable about the quality of the photo's..everyone says it looks as if we're going to walk out of the pics....I could not say enough about Michael....but I can say that if your really looking...

Taras is awesome!!!!! He is extremely professional and passionate about what he does and it shows in his every image. My husband and I were married on 09/01/2012 and could not be more pleased with the outcome of our wedding photos. He captured every special moment for us including that of family and friends as well as all the details of the day. When we reviewed our photos, my husband referred to him as "Batman" because he captured everything and you never even knew he was there. We cannot say enough positive things about Taras and choosing him as our wedding photographer was one of our best decisions in wedding planning. We would recommend Taras to everyone.

I have only great things to say about Michael. From our engagement session, to my bridal session to our wedding session, he was great! The images are flawless! I love everything about him. I would strongly recommend Michael to any bride. He is the best!!!

We used Michael to do our wedding. I told Michael, that he had his work cut out for him. I am a person that does not like taking pictures because I believe that I am not photogenic. So as a bride to be I was very nervous. I was so relaxed and comfortable during the whole experience from the first consultation to selecting our images. I still don't know what he did but my pictures came out beautiful. He was able to capture our wedding story with moments we will cherish forever. I highly recommend him for any photography needs.

When I first met Taras, I knew he would be my wedding photographer. His professionalism and creativity drew me in immediately. He explained every detail of wedding photography to me and ensured that I knew exactly what I was paying for. Planning a wedding can be a stressful and overwhelming endeavor. However, working with Taras was one of the most enjoyable experiences of the whole process. Taras is a true example of what it means to truly care about your clients and appreciate his sincerity. Now the photos….WOW!!! His direction as far as poses, lighting and finding those perfect candid moments are incredible. I honestly cannot stop looking at my wedding pictures. My wedding day seemed to go by so quickly, there were so many small details that as a bride you never get to see. But thanks to Taras, I will forever be able to relive all aspects of our special day. Taras definitely went above and beyond to ensure my complete satisfaction (including surprising me by coming to my hotel before... Read more

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!!!! WE used Michael photographer for our engagement and wedding photos and we could not have wished for a more amazing and professional photographer. We live in DC but would still make the drive to continue to use their services. My husband said the only words he could find is AWESOME!

My now husband and I could not have been more pleased with Michael's services. His attention to detail and professionalism are outstanding. I am so happy we chose him as our photographer to capture those special moments on our special day. We don't live in NYC but, I highly recommend Michael with In His Image Photographer for anyone looking for an outstanding photographer.

Michael shot my Bridal portraits and our wedding day. I could NOT be more pleased!! Not only is his work unbelievably stunning, he is so creative, professional, and helpful. He had tons of great ideas for different shots and got every aspect of our big day that I wanted, plus more. It poured rain on both my Bridal shoot day and our wedding day, but that didn't stop Michael from getting the most amazing photos!! He and his assistant did a fabulous job getting different shots. And his assistant, Taras, is so helpful and quick to respond to any questions I had. They make a great team! It's been almost 3 months since our wedding, and I can honestly say that I look at our beautiful photos every day!!

Both Michael and Taras were amazing and very professional. They both made us feel so comfortable and we throughly were able to enjoy ourselves and the experience. The photos were beyond what we expected and were provided to us in a very timely manner. Communication was very easy with Michael and was mostly done through email as we were planning our wedding from overseas. We would highly recommend Michael as a photographer for a wedding.

Michael’s wedding photographs are modern and divine…! Your work is fascinating. You have caught such a wonderful moments and we are very glad that our family portrait begins with fantastic photos made by you. Wish you have lots of shoots else here, in Chicago city.

Michael is very friendly, personable, and professional. He had wonderful suggestions for shoot locations, but also asked for our input. Our wedding had a Chicago theme as the majority of our guests were from out-of-town, and I liked how Michael picked locations unique to Chicago to take pictures (rather than the usual touristy landmarks). Both of us can be camera shy, but Michael put us at ease and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. It helped working with him on the engagement photos so we were relaxed and accustomed to him by the wedding. I liked how he gave us directions, but also let us be ourselves throughout the shoots.

Your slideshow amazed us! I saw several photos on site . I was interested with the Indian Wedding photography, but our bridal photos were even better. Sincere gratitude to the author.

Michael 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, Victoria, 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!

Michael and Victoria! You’re a wonderful team which performs what you do the best way! Everything is so considered, efficient, professionally. From the checklist on your website till last shoot of wedding couple. You are the best wedding photographers. Great work! Thank you.

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.

For Victoria Queen, nothing was too much trouble! She was there in order to reach us at the Church and, from then with in, was just like one of the guests. Her professionalism and capacity make everybody feel at ease was amazing. From set out to finish he captured every special moment. Victoria did not let the rain spoil our day or our photos. In fact he improvised with props and the venues to produce all very reputable wedding pictures the best photography we've ever seen. We couldn't recommend Victoria highly enough and we now have had many people comment already on what fabulous his work is actually - and at such a reasonable price too. We couldn't bide time until the discs to end up delivered (it only took only three days) plus they certainly didn't disappoint! Victoria - thank you for for giving us such wonderful memories trend back on for a long time. We would love to work with you again in one's destiny!

Of all the experiences that my wife and I had during our wedding, Michael might have been the most pleasant and memorable of them all. He has a spectacular combination of professionalism and talent. He truly understood what we were looking for. Michael is a terrific listener and he is tremendously thoughtful. We allowed him some artistic freedom and he created something delightfully unique. The photos were absolutely stunning.

We also had the pleasure of working with his assistant Renny on our wedding day. Both Colin and Renny were on time (if not early), excited, and worked well not only with the bridal party, but with the wedding guests. They were also patient with our many family members who also wanted to take similar group photos during the reception! The weather did not hold up after the ceremony and we ended up having to change shoot locations, but still got beautiful photos. Also, both of them had a lot of experience shooting at the reception venue.

Michel is true wedding photographer! Visited his website. Wonderful, creative wedding photography, so I immediately decided that the only appropriate photographer we may find is him. I had some doubts about his rates, but as it has turned out his services are quiet affordable and even cheap. Especially in comparison with his professionalism! Thank You very much!
