Bart is the best! He photographed our wedding 10 years ago and we couldn’t have been more pleased. Now that we have children he comes regularly and takes their pictures along with one family session per year. You tell him what you want you will get it!! He will exceed your expectations! He also taught me that the best picture isn’t always one with smiles.

Smartest thing we ever did was hire Bart for our daughter's in-town wedding party at the Highland Park Art Center because the pictures turned out great. First, our daughter, who's quite camera shy, seemed to relax with his understated manner, and somehow Bart made her very comfortable. What a coup that in itself was. Plus he was so easy to be with for the entire time.

The pictures turned out gorgeous, and really caught the flavor of our affair. We were so wonderfully surprised with so many candid pictures that we had no idea they were even being taken, and really captured the moment, either fun or sentimental. There were so many to choose from.

The pictures of the Bride and Groom alone together turned out to be show-stoppers. Bart didn't have them just stand together and look at the camera. They were soft, and romantic, so good that they became our collage thank you card.

Recently, my children arranged an entire weekend of dinners and activities for my husband's big birthday celebration, inviting extended family members who would be coming in from out of town for the celebration party. Who knows when we'd all be together again, so we wanted a family portrait taken and of course, called Bart. He coached us on what and what not to wear and advised we do an outdoor picture. And I don't know how he arranged us so well but it's exactly what we wanted it to be. Then he broke us down into individual families and couples and kids. Everyone is so pleased and delighted that we did this. I can't strongly recommend how important it is for us today and for future generations to have these family pictures.

And now that I've had the wonderful news that I'm going to be a first time grandmom, Bart will certainly be called for the preggy-pictures and soon after, the official baby's portrait. He has truly become our family photographer.

Loved working with Bart. He was so calm and collected & produced beautiful photos for my engagement shoot & wedding! We had a large bridal party as well and he really knew how to keep everyone on target and got the shots I had discussed prior to my wedding. I highly recommend him & his services! You won't be disappointed.

We truly loved our experience working with Bart; from the flexibility in scheduling, the flowless delivery of our images before promised date; to his relaxed and professional demeanor at our garden wedding (vows renewal ceremony) this past September . Bart has a knock for capturing those special moments. His balance of talent, creative expression, professionalism and positive attitude make him an absolut delight to work with. We would recommend Bart to anyone we know and we are very confident they will be beyond pleased.

Bart Galbas was my photographer and I loved him! He was punctual, professional, knowledgeable, and gave my pictures to me when he said that he would. I love all of my pictures that he took. He had several great locations to go to which really made it really easy. I would highly recommend him to any family or friends.

If you are looking for a photographer to capture the happiness, love and every emotion in between during your big event, Bart is the one! He goes above and beyond just being a talented and fun photographer, he helps ensure you enjoy your day. He has such an eye for capturing real moments. Very easy to work with, always returns text and phone calls right away. We received our pictures in a timely manner and they were breath-taking. We are so happy that we were able to work with him and will recommend him to our family and friends.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
