Mark Campbell deserves to be sainted, and his second in command, Julie Valkanet, is an excellent photography artist as well. Mark took on MULTIPLE MEETINGS with me (a very nervous bride) in the course of his super busy schedule. He and Julie took time to teach my bridal party and I (as well as my husband and his groomsmen) about poses, the best places to shoot interesting photos in Chicago (if Mark recommends the Kinzie Bridge, DO IT - you won't regret it!) Mark and Julie sent me emails throughout the week before the wedding to help us finalize our shot list, plan our timeline, and organize our family portraits at our church ceremony. The day of the wedding, they both showed up on time and instantly put us all at ease. They made sure the day flowed perfectly and we got all the photographs we wanted - they both captured our day beautifully.

Even better, the day AFTER our wedding, we had an email from Mark and Julie with a "sneak peek" of some of the best photos, and on our one-week anniversary, they suprised us with a beautiful slideshow of photos, set to music and wishing us well in our married life.

There's no better wedding photography team in Chicago. Trust me.

Mark Campbell photographed our wedding on August 3rd. From start to finish, Mark did an outstanding job. We interviewed many photographers / companies before choosing Mark. My wife and I are so happy that we went with Mark. We knew after our engagement shoot with him that he is the best photographer you are going to find. We had never worked with a photographer before, so Mark helped us set up shots and suggested poses. The pictures from the engagement shoot turned out fantastic, and we received many compliments on how nice they were (we used some of the photos for our save the date). Mark's turn around time on getting you copies of the photos is unmatched: we had the engagement photos within two weeks. Our wedding pictures arrived within 3 weeks. Other photographers stated it would take months of waiting, so this was an excellent advantage of using Mark Campbell.

Leading up to the wedding, Mark was in constant contact with us to determine a shot list. Every photo combination we wanted was taken. The photos were amazing. We hired a second photographer through Mark (her name was Julie and she was awesome too!). The two of them worked hard all night taking photos at every opportunity. The pictures turned out amazing! So many good shots that really capture the night.

I can't recommend Mark Campbell enough. If you are unsure of who to hire for a photographer, HIRE MARK! He is awesome and your pictures will turn out amazing! I would also highly suggest having two photographers because after looking through our photos, it is very neat to have the same shots from multiple angles. This was especially important during our ceremony (which was very short, only 10 minutes). Yet because we had two photographers, there are pictures from every angle. It is totally worth the extra money. Mark and Julia work so well together and were able to capture every moment of our wedding day.

Mark provided the photography for me and my wife's recent wedding. He was incredibly friendly and was very concerned about what we wanted in our pictures. He photographed both our wedding and rehearsal dinner. One thing that was really great was that we had our wedding at an art gallery where my painting were hung. In addition to the standard wedding pictures he also provided with very professional shots of my work which are now featured on my website. The delivery of the almost 1,000 pictures he took via DVD was very quick. He was incredibly friendly the work with and was fantastic and making people feel at ease in staged shots. We can't say enough good things about Mark's word.
