The most talented Chicago photographer!

My husband and I could not be more thankful to have had Kent as our engagement and wedding photographer. There may not be enough words to truly express our gratitude. We were referred to Kent through our wedding planner and knew from our first call that he was the right fit for us. Kent's craft is truly exquisite. He perfectly captured the ambiance, joy, enthusiasm, and love throughout our day. Our reception took place in the Field Museum, and he masterfully captured the grandeur and uniqueness of the museum space. Kent so easily puts everyone at ease and makes the process engaging, fun, and effortless. My husband and I had a ball getting to take photographs with Kent on our wedding day, as did all our family and friends. We trusted his vision and eye for design as he photographed moments both big and small. His work will pull you back in time to every special moment and allow you to relive your big day over and over again. From the first phone call through post-wedding album planning, Kent is kind, responsive, professional, and easy to work with. We will treasure our photographs forever and simply cannot recommend Kent Drake enough.

Can’t go wrong with Kent!

We are so happy we hired Kent! We knew our photos would be the memories to look back on and even just a few months after getting married, we’re so happy we have Kent’s beautiful work to reflect back on the day. Kent’s work speaks for itself and is absolutely beautiful but it’s also so important to know how great it is to work with him; there’s SO much going on that day, a lot of people and a lot of personalities and no matter what, Kent will make everyone feel at ease and look their best. He was fluffing my dress and fixing my hair to make sure it was just right in the photos. So many people commented on how great he was and having someone so great to work with throughout the day is so vital to making you feel and look you best. And then just wait until you get your photos! I keep going back and looking and finding additional favorites and moments captured that make me so happy and grateful we had Kent as our photographer, you will be so happy with your choice: professional, fun, friendly, genuine and crazy talented

Kent was fantastic!

Kent was honestly one of the best parts of our wedding. Not only were the photos simply gorgeous, but he was wonderful to work with. He was incredibly attentive to family and the bridal party, becoming a trusted go-to for support in solving problems both photo non-photo related. His experience shows and he creates a completely comfortable atmosphere on a very emotional day. I had guests mentioning Kent for months after the wedding!
