About

She explained exactly what Life On Prints is about in one sentence. We've been doing this exact thing since 2004.

Tony and Michelle were awesome to work with and we are so thankful they were our wedding photographers. Our pictures came right when promised which was great, especially considering our wedding was in the busy June season. The pictures themselves were of amazing quality and there were so many to go through! Every time some of our guests gathered to take a picture, Tony and Michelle were right there to take some of their own. We had a blast and I love looking back on our pictures.

If you're looking for a great photographer, look no further. We weren't sure who to hire and where to look, and were so lucky to find Tony. He was very helpful listening to our needs, and meeting our budget. At the wedding itself, he felt more like a friend than a stranger, and made the picture taking fun and personal. The end result exceeding my expectations, because the photos are beautiful!

I'm not sure Tony actually needs online reviews - I (and many people I know) discovered him through word of mouth from other happy couples. We found Tony because he took beautiful photos for a friend's wedding. Years ago he did our engagement photos and it was such a fun experience. And now, five years later and even though we now live all the way across the country in California, we waited for a trip to Chicago so we could take family photos of little daughter with Tony. And if a #2 ever comes along, we'll make another trip out to Chicago to see Tony again. I can't say enough good things about Tony. Tony really is "fly across the country with a baby" good.

When I was researching for a photographer for our wedding, I knew I wanted a photographer that could tell a story with his pictures. As soon as I looked at the pictures from Life on Prints, I knew that their style and eye for photography was exactly what I was looking for. After meeting with Tony Cabrera, I knew he was the right photographer to capture our day. We had our engagement photos with him and they turned out fantastic and I knew that the wedding day photos would be great. However, when I received my wedding day photos they far exceeded my expectations. Not only did they capture the beauty and perfection of the day, they captured the emotions and wonderful moments that a special day like this exudes. When planning for our wedding budget, I knew that photography was where I wanted to invest in. They are not just pictures, but they are memories that will last for a lifetime.

To start off, we went into wedding planning knowing 2 things. 1) We wanted fall and 2) We wanted life on prints. I was fully open to changing our date to make sure they were available. Thankfully, we didn't have to do that!

I haven't seen my professional pics yet, but even the sample Tony showed me on his camera the day of the wedding blew me away.

LOP did our engagement pics and they were absolutely gorgeous. I cannot rec Tony and Michelle of Life on Prints enough. They are amazing. Simply put. We love you guys!

Tony and Michelle at Life on Prints are great to work with. They are very professional, but also laid back. Our engagement pictures were absolutely perfect and our wedding photos are even better. All our pictures were ready just a few weeks after the wedding. On the day of the wedding, they know how to be subtle and not completely in your face during sentimental times. We couldn't be happier with Life on Prints.

Artistic, unique, stunning, professional. This almost says it all...but you should also know that Tony Cabrera and his wife Michelle are the nicest people, too. As a team, they capture amazing emotion, fun, and beauty throughout the day and you hardly even notice them. The best Chicago photographers by far. We had them shoot our engagement session and wedding day. I could not be happier. Make sure you book early...they're hot in demand!!! Oh, and you're crazy if you choose another...

Tony is wonderful! From the moment my husband and I met him we knew he was a perfect fit for us. He's fun to be around and keeps everything moving quickly. He blends into the background, but still manages to take gorgeous pictures. We hesitated because we didn't want to spend too much money on pictures, but it was so worth it. Our engagement pictures were amazing! And I cannot wait to see the wedding pictures. I'm sure I'll be blown away! Tony is extremely professional and guides you when you aren't comfortable with taking a million pictures. A great choice for weddings!

Tony with Life On Prints is fantastic. We just took our engagement photos with him and every single one turned out amazing! He gave us back our photos quick and they were edited so nicely. Our friends and family were astounded by our pictures. He also gave us two sets: color/b.w. both were incredible. Tony has a way of seeing art in all places.

I LOVED working with Tony and Life on Prints. They did my sisters's wedding a few years ago (the pics turned out amazing!!), so when I got engaged I knew that I wanted to have them for mine! We had an engagement photo session with Tony last Fall, and everything turned out beautiful. He is so relaxed and fun, it really helped us to feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible. He has fantastic ideas and takes beautiful pictures. He doesn't force anything too corny, which my fiance was worried about. For the wedding, Tony and his assistant showed up that day ready to go from the start! They are always there capturing every shot, yet you never notice them...which is amazing!! I never felt like the camera was in my face or anywhere near us. It never felt forced or awkward, which is so important!! I am anxiously waiting to see my pictures, but I know they will be amazing because Life on Prints is the best! I would highly recommend them to anyone!! I will greatly miss working with them!
