I discovered Blurfoto after walking up to a perfect stranger at the framing shop to ask who took their beautiful group photo. The rest, as they say, is history. Working with Mike was awesome.
First, he took our engagement photos in downtown Chicago, and was super flexible about where. When my first choice ended up being taken up by student filmmakers, we just popped across the street and BOOM awesomeness. It was also a great way to get to know Mike's style.
For the wedding, we gave him a really tight window, but he was able to accommodate our scheduling (I had a brunch wedding, and did first look and wedding party pics before the wedding. Making for a really early start!). While I had some of the areas picked out already, Mike found other hidden spots that turned out beautifully.
i wish I could give 10 stars for responsiveness. The time to email me back was incredibly fast; but also the final pictures were uploaded in the blink of an eye. No waiting around for months and months for this impatient bride.
My only piece of advice to any bride is to do what I didn't do...make a list of people with whom you absolutely must have a picture. In fairness, Mike asked me for a list, but I never got it to him. (Shame on me!)
