Neil photographed my recent wedding and I have zero complaints. My now husband and I found Neil through a google search, his website looked okay so we set up an appointment. We meshed well with him instantly, he is very open about you being sure he is the right photographer for you and your event and we knew we wanted to hire him. On the day of he showed up early and even stayed a bit longer than his contract. He helped keep me organized to ensure the wedding photos were seamless, and it helped a ton! He tried out a few ideas I sent him and came up with some great ideas of his own. The best part is, we received our digital files the day after the wedding...who does that? I've heard horror stories with my friends taking months to get their wedding pictures and we got ours within 24 hours, and they look stunning! I was blown away. Neil was incredibly affordable, personable, and his photos really do speak for themselves. We are more than happy with choosing him as our wedding photographer!

We got married on Oct. 22 at the Morton Arboretum. Neil started taking pictures at 3pm for candids and finally some family groups before our 5:30 ceremony. He then stayed to photograph the wedding, reception, friends and more family. His pictures turned out beautifully, both inside and outside....in sunny natural light, dusk and candlelight indoors. Neil is very professional and still charming so he made the process fun and relaxed and still kept us on schedule. He took hundreds of pictures and I know we will have a stunning PhotoBook Press PhotoBook with Neil Gates pictures! Thank you Neil!
