He specializes in candid photos which is exactly why we went with him. Worth every penny, and then some. He can catch really incredible moments without you ever knowing. He doesn't intrude, he stays out of the way, and finds a way to truly showcase the joy of the day. 11/10 would recommend to anyone and everyone!

We’re so grateful to Louie for capturing our wedding so beautifully. We chose Louie as our photographer because we loved his documentary-style approach and classic-meets-modern aesthetic. He was such a calming presence for our wedding day and so helpful for us as people who do not consider ourselves to be at all photogenic or typically comfortable in front of a camera. We love our photos and know we’ll love looking at them for years to come. Thank you, Louie!

We are so glad that Louie photographed our wedding. Going through the photographs from the weekend, we cannot believe how many wonderful and special moments he captured. When we first met him, he told us his goal was to capture the day as we remembered it and he did absolutely that. From the start he was a calming presence and was able to put the the two of us (who are introverts at heart and not use to being the center of attention) at ease. We love his style and think it is really special that he also captures things on film. Like many others have said, we cannot stop looking at the photos. They are truly amazing.

The wedding pictures were the part of the wedding that gave me the most anxiety as I began planning. My husband and I are not huge picture people, but Louie and his team were able to set us completely at ease . I love his documentary style, the way he was able to capture the emotions of the day without making us feel like we posed for hours. It felt so casual and authentic, which was exactly what we wanted.

Louie and his assistant were absolutely incredible on the day of the wedding. If anything, my biggest complaint is that there are too many amazing pictures to choose from and there's no way I can fit all my favorites in one wedding album. His eye for the tiny special moments of the day is incredible (my absolute favorite is the one of us hugging right after the ceremony which I didn’t even notice he captured until we got our pictures back). It was such a treasure to be able to re-experience every little moment of our day once we got our full album. Louie suggested the golden hour pictures - which ended up being some of my favorites.

My husband’s grandma recently passed away and I know all the pictures we have of her will be forever cherished as a memento of one of the last memories we were able to create with her. If you are considering using Louie, don’t hesitate, he’s amazing!

Louie was a dream to work with! We couldn't be happier with our stunning photos. Louie was responsive, easy going, professional, flexible, and made the day so fun. We aren't used to having professional photos done, but Louie made us feel so comfortable. We feel so lucky we got to work with him! Highly recommend!

I've worked with Louie for years now as a vendor, and I have to say his style of photography and calm manner with clients is second to none. I'm always excited when I know he's on the vendor list because there's sure to be something fun to capture! Also really appreciate his mixture of digital and film photography on the day-of. His work tells complete stories, not just captures moments.

Couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding! he was very well organized and took amazing pictures. We got married at the Haight in Elgin and he also did an amazing job dealing with the lower light in the venue and captured our day perfectly. 10/10 would recommend.

We searched for a long time (maybe too long) for our wedding photographer. We wanted someone to capture the big moments, little moments and all those in between. We sought out someone who would capture us as we are naturally, without any fuss or over posing. Louie was all this and more. He made us feel so comfortable whenever we were in front of the camera. His work speaks for itself - elegant, authentic and genuine. Louie captured our wedding day exactly how we remembered it, and he was an asset to the entire experience. Never over-guiding or taking us away from our guests for too long, but always being at the right place at the right time. He found locations for photos that matched our aesthetic and had a perfect backup plan for when it rained. We were thrilled with the finished product and that we gained a friend in the process!

Louie is so extremely talented and easy to work with!

We are so happy we made the decision to have him photograph our wedding. The previews are absolutely stunning and I cannot wait to see all of them!

Thank you, thank you, thank you - we will cherish these forever Louie!

Louie photographed my husband and me and his photos are so special to us. It's been almost two years and his images are still the backgrounds on our phones which is saying something as we're photographers ourselves. Louie is the best!
