I have a special place in my heart for weddings. Special because it’s one of lifes few moments that can be shared yet called our own at the same time. When I shoot a wedding, I can’t help but be moved by the genuine happiness I see in the eyes of everyone involved. Happiness is contagious, which is probably why I like weddings and have been documenting them since 1986.

Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. He was amazing from start to finish, and the photos turned out so beautiful. His attention to detail really shows in every picture, and he somehow captured all the little moments we didn’t even realize were happening. He also delivered the photos way faster than expected, which was such a nice surprise. On top of all that, his pricing was super fair for the quality of work he delivers. If you’re thinking about hiring him, do it, you won’t regret it

Being a bridesmaid 7 times and maid of honor 3, I’ve had a lot of experience with helping plan weddings in addition to my own. In all of my experiences, I have never witnessed a more talented and professional photographer than Ruben. As you may have already observed, any photographer can show you a “good portfolio.” They choose their best photos to show you and not necessarily their everyday work. Recommendations from people are the best way to go and that is how I found Ruben. Another bride told me about the awesome experience she had with him so I decided to meet with him myself. During our meeting he was informative, not pushy and very easy to talk to. So, of course we hired him! On my wedding day, Ruben helped me relax and have fun! He honored all of my requests from the detailed conversations we had and added in his own spice of creativity along the way. When I looked at my pictures for first time I cried and laughed over and over. He made me look and feel like a queen! Ruben also created my wedding album and it is absolutely gorgeous! I couldn’t believe how fast he was able to put it together. (after I finally decided what photos I wanted to use) You should definitely consider making an appointment to meet with Ruben and see for yourself the artist that he is. This is definitely one area you don’t want to skimp out on. You’ll have your pictures FOREVER and you won’t be disappointed!! :) Good Luck!

Ruben from G&R Photography was fantastic. He has amazing talent and we loved his taking our photos at our wedding. Such a busy, hectic day and it was nice to have a professional, easy going, photographer who listened to us...plus take amazing pictures! We got married in Chicago and we went around the city taking pictures at the Art Museum, Kinzie Bridge, and Water Tower. A lot of creative work, great posing pictures, and many candids that we enjoy.
Beautiful artistic abilities....

Had a wonderful experience with Ruben at G&R Photography. He's smart, creative, easy to work with, and turns out beautiful photos. You won't even know he's there but he captures the day! He even did a slide show of selected photos which makes a nice presentation. If you're looking for an affordable photographer who can give you a little more individualized attention than a larger outfit, Ruben is your guy!
