I LUV I Luv Photo, (THAT'S NOT A TYPO) and Ill give you three reasons why. In today's America, anyone can hold a camera (or cell phone), hit the shutter button, add a cool filter from a trending app then share their 'awesomeness' in seconds, and term that photography (some may even try to sell this). But although tech savvy we are in this 21st century, there still remains no invention to replace art, not just art, but the aesthetics of art. The story telling perception of this husband and wife team (which I bet u, were HS sweethearts, they so act like it) was way beyond our expectation. Like most of you reading this review, my wife and I spent months (3 months in fact), maximizing the benefits of search engines; reading magazines, newspapers, any wedding photography literature my wife came across; calling photographers just to get a vibe; attending annual wedding conventions; asking friends/family for suggestions etc., so when we finally decided to meet with I Luv Photo to discuss our expectations, we still weren't 100% confident we'd chose Chicago's/Chicagoland's top choice for our needs.
This all changed the moment we met Luis and Clarissa. These two photographers were so approachable, my wife and I felt as if we'd met them before (which never happened), and this is the "THING 1" we believe was super important. If your wedding photographer(s) has communication issues, drop them immediately. Your wedding MOMENT will never happen again, NEVER. So if your uncomfortable with or having any difficulty communicating effectively to someone whose capturing YOUR MOMENT through THEIR eyes, then find some other eyes to capture your moment immediately.
Next is "THING 2 (which leads to thing 3)", 'would I buy stock from this photographer's business?' Weird question uh, but seriously, think about it. My wife and I noticed with other photographers we 'liked', that there always seemed to be an imbalance between true professionalism and simplicity. In short, some photographers had decent work, but their, website, communication and general company presentation was quite unpretentious, not something you'd want to invest a dollar in. On the flip side, we found decent talent that gave so much detail on what they do, how they do it, why they do it, cost for doing it Way A, Way B or Way C, and additional options within Way A, B or C. Along with that, communication with them was unnecessarily complicated. You call one number to get another number or email, to then call that number to be transferred to another number or office, to finally reach an automated response that gives you multiple ways to leave a message, finally, when human interaction is reached, you end up communicating with a tech-lingo savvy money hungry pseudo-professional business person that's 'simply' not understanding one concept, "this is your big day, and things need to be professional but simple, cause you only have a million other things to stress about." ILuvPhoto's blend of simplicity, a refined perspective, communication, professionalism, customer service and guaranteed joy when you unpack their finished product likens to that of a company I'm sure most of us would invest in a share or two of their stock, Apple®.
Finally THING 3, $$$ MONEY MONEY MONEY. Let's face it, in comparing prices for family, graduation, newborn, business, wedding photography etc. Wedding pictures generally have higher price points (for obvious reasons) but a bit more options. For your wedding day, your going to want the best 'BANG for your BUCK,' without sacrificing any BANG (:-)) . We've compared prices, reviews, quality and styles from so many wedding photographers in Chicago/Chicagoland, Illinois and out of state, and simply put, I Luv Photo's pricing options for their Hollywood Celebrity-like quality and service is ridiculously-down-right the best price points you'd find anywhere.
My wife and I are pretty average people (I think so, idk lol), which after much research, made a choice for I Luv Photo. AND (never start a sentence with and, ok) if we were a slight bit disappointed in our wedding pictures, I would've given a heads up to other potential customers and made it known to the World Wide Web using every possible social outlet available to us, BUT, we were beyond pleased, and suggest you contact I Luv Photo immediately and stop thinking about it, they're seriously awesome (if I haven't said that already). And tell them rohan and jennifer said HELLO!
