They Make Both Sides Your Best Side

It's not an exaggeration to say that through the 6 months we've known Albert & Liliya, we feel like we've made a new set of wonderful friends who truly know how to capture the love between us. They flew out to Chicago a day early to scout locations for our engagements photos, and even extended our photoshoot an extra day due to weather. We then had them capture a few other events during our wedding celebrations, and they came to know our family and friends. They have an uncanny ability to bring out the best in everyone they shoot. The photos they took of us are the most beautiful that we've ever taken in our lives. On top of all that, they are immensely kind, patient, and passionate. We would not hesitate to have them capture all of our future special moments, in only to get to spend time with them again. There is no one who will do a better job of capturing you and your loved ones in their most beautiful light. We can't recommend Chernogorov Photography more highly!

AMAZING experience!

I HIGHLY recommend booking Albert & Liliya for your wedding. Their talent is magical and the amount of work and effort they put into your wedding is seriously unmatched. I was incredibly appreciative of how they went out of their way to help make my day special, and they were truly a pleasure to work with at every step.

The photographs turned out AMAZING--exactly what I wanted and more. My husband bought me an Aura Frame for Christmas and I have all of the wedding photos uploaded and running all day. I love looking at them--still can't get over them almost a year later!!

Thank you Albert & Liliya!!!

The absolute best

Albert and Liliya are incredible and truly passionate about their art of photography. I’ve always said that they are able to make their subjects look like celebrities. The fact that they only accept a limited number of weddings each year made my bride and me feel like celebrities as well.

Cherished Moments !

I have seen Albert’s work from afar for years and to say he is a good photographer is a compete understatement. He went above and beyond our expectations ! He is truly an expert in his craft , not only did he have great recommendations for the location, he was timely, friendly, & gave excellent direction on how we were to pose for each photo.

We booked Albert for a pre-wedding photoshoot and honestly amidst all of the chaos and confusion that goes with wedding planning he was the one aspect that we did not have to second guess at all. I would highly recommend Chernogorov Photography for Any & All looking for diligence and efficiency !

I have been a professional Wedding Planner for 12 years, have planned weddings all over the country, and Chernogorov Photographer is the best photographer I've ever worked with.

They go beyond just taking photos, they create an atmosphere where genuine emotions unfold naturally, resulting in candid & heartwarming images you will cherish your photos for the rest of your life. WORTH. EVERY. PENNY!!!
