My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of being able to work with Mina and Victor for our wedding. They are a wonderful, easy going and very creative couple! They are both very professional and do an amazing job with both photography and videography. I am already in love with the pictures and all I have so far is just a sneak peak! I can't wait to see the rest of our wedding photos and the finished video.

Thank you Mina and Victor for all your hard work on everything. You both are truely special.

We booked S7MP for our 9/6/2020 wedding. Unfortunately, like so many other couples, we were forced to postpone our big celebration to a later date. I was nervous as I started reaching out to vendors to find a new date but Mina was so understanding and made the process so easy!

Fast forward to about a month before our new date - Mina reached out to confirm details and worked seamlessly with our wedding coordinator to ensure she and Victor knew our day of schedule and would capture every detail.

Once the day FINALLY arrived, Mina and Victor met us at the venue to get started filming our day. They captured the big moments perfectly and SO many small details without being intrusive. Being in front of cameras all day can be intimidating but they were able to get so much footage without us even realizing they were there which made the final video feel very natural.

Right after the wedding, we received an email with an update and requesting songs that we wanted in our video along with suggestions of type of song (slow, happy, upbeat, etc.). Our highlight video was incredible so we knew we were in good hands for the final video. Once we received the final video, my husband and I sat down to watch it (snacks and all - it's over an hour long!) and loved every single second of it. Wedding days go by in the blink of an eye and I'm so grateful we chose S7MP to help us relive or day over and over again!

Where to begin with this team? If you don't read any further, know that my wife and I give the S7MP team the highest recommendation possible.

My now-wife, Zakira Duff and I got engaged in September 2019 and started planning our wedding soon after.

We eventually settled on June 13, 2020 and one of Zakira's friends, Ryan, recommended S7MP as a great photography/videography team, and we contracted with them in early January 2020.

We were very impressed with the quality of their work, how they seemed to shoot more diverse couples than other studios we looked at, and offered more competitive pricing compared to other studios of equivalent quality.

The complimentary engagement photo shoot that was included in the wedding package was also attractive.

Both Zakira's and I's grandmothers passed away before our wedding and we wanted to include a special tribute to them by blowing up pictures of each of us with our grandmother, with them in a faded 'ghost' form. We asked the S7MP team if this would be a feasible project for them, and anticipated having to pay extra, but Victor readily agreed to take the project on, free of charge, and we would just have to pay for the blow-ups later on. This gesture was extremely appreciated, and his work was excellent, and inclusive of touch-ups.

However, COVID occurred, and we tried re-scheduling our wedding to late August 2020 at first, for which S7MP flexed with us at no charge, and then we pushed to July 17, 2021, and luckily that date worked for the S7MP team too.

In the lead-up to the wedding, Mina, was on point with getting us prepared, and figuring out a date for our engagement shoot.

My wife and I live in TX, and travel to Chicago was not the easiest to fit in our schedules, so we were able to get our engagement shoot in 2 days before our wedding.

Everything was so hectic in that week, and my wife was close to cancelling the engagement shoot, but we are both very glad we did not do that.

It was great to meet Victor, Mina, and Joseph and develop rapport before the wedding, and the quality of their work stood out immediately at our shoot in Lincoln Park.

Joe and Victor got super creative and artistic shots of us, and the lighting was perfect. They were amongst the best photos Zakira and I have taken in the 5.5 years we've been together.
Besides their work, they were pleasant and punctual to work with, good people all around, and we felt super comfortable during our shoot, in the hands of true professionals.

Their team also worked fast to get us our pictures delivered within 24 hours, in time before our wedding, and Victor also put together a 60 second video teaser of us within a day, absolutely beautiful work that we were able to share with our guests in a final pre-wedding email.

The day of our wedding their team was prompt, arriving even 15 minutes ahead of an 8 hour schedule (thankfully, since we were rushing around the whole day), and took great shots of me in the groom suite, and then moved up to the bridal suite.

We then rushed over to take wedding party shoots at a nearby park none of us had been to, and the S7MP team quickly adapted to the environment and arranged a first look with Zakira and I, and then a bunch of excellent wedding party and bride/groom shots.

The ceremony start time was approaching, and Ubers/Lyfts were unreliable in the city, and Mina was super helpful in ordering an Uber for the bridal party so we would make it on time.

During the wedding, their team was super engaged and worked efficiently throughout the ceremony and reception, with Joe making sure to get pictures of each table, and positioning the bride/groom with as many family members as was reasonable.

The blown-up grandmother portraits were prominently displayed on easels during the wedding and many of our guests appreciated them, with tears in eyes.

Our guests remarked that the S7MP team were nice people and fit in well with our group, and had interesting conversations.

Zakira and I couldn't have asked for anything more. We felt our event was captured from every angle, and we went home smiling, a truly beautiful day!

We booked S7MP for our wedding photography and videography. I honestly could not be happier with the team throughout the entire process. We first met in person with Mina and Victor for our engagement photo shoot, and they were unbelievable friendly and immediately put us at ease, despite us being so awkward being photographed. When COVID hit right in the middle of our planning process, they were so comforting and accommodating as we figured out how to adjust given the pandemic. On our wedding day, Mina, Victor and Joseph were there to capture every amazing moment. They handled our small but rowdy group so well, being both patient and directive. I basically sent them a brain dump of all my ideas and thoughts of what I would like captured, and trusted that they knew where to take it from there, and they checked every box. The edited pictures are GORGEOUS. Seriously, we are so grateful to have found Studio Seven Media Productions. They exceeded every expectations, and we can't wait to have them join us again next year for our delayed reception.

We loved the work they did including the special drone footage! Amazing work! Thank you so much Victor and team!

My husband and I had the privilege of working with Victor and Mina! They went above and beyond my expectations! They were there to capture all the moments we desired and I know they caught even more than we know. Yes it takes some time to our video, but I am willing to wait for a masterpiece. They were both very open with Peter and I, caring, and look at the little details. I wore long sleeves and a string was showing through. Mina did not hesitate to point it out and come help me! They are about the little details and great at directing you and your hubby to capture the perfect moments! 10 out of 10 recommend!! Thank you both for your hard work and can't wait to see the video!

It’s hard for me to put in words how overwhelmingly happy I am with the engagement photos S7MP provided us with. Victor made us feel so comfortable and we had a blast shooting with him, it’s truly been one of my favorite parts of our engagement and wedding planning process. He was kind, patient and open to incorporating the props we brought to the shoot. Victor’s wife, Mina also accompanied him to the shoot and she had a wonderful eye for detail and came up with very creative photo ideas. The edited photos they provided us with are absolutely beautiful and his rates are very reasonable and affordable. We are so happy to have booked them as our wedding videographer and can’t wait to work with them again in a year!

We cannot begin to express how thankful we are that we hired S7MP as our videographer! Watching the coverage that they captured of our wedding brings us right back to all the butterflies and excitement of that day. They were extremely professional and made us feel so comfortable that we almost forgot that they were even filming. Choosing them to capture our wedding was one of the best decisions we could have made during the planning process. Our wedding video is something that we will look back on for many years to come and what Victor and his team created is beyond anything we could have dreamed of! We highly recommend them!

The team here is great. Victor and Diego were both great. It took me a while of researching photographers and videographers for our wedding to decide if we could even afford to get a videographer on our tight military budget. Victor was always accommodating and quick at responding. Victor did our engagement pictures in our choice of location which we chose Milton Lee Olive park and they turned out phenomenal, I'm in love with our pictures. The few wedding pictures we've got so far are equally beautiful. Victor and Diego are personable, kind, funny, and great to work with. I'm 100% happy with our choice and look forward to seeing the rest of our wedding photos

Working with S7MP was a great experience. Overall super professional. The best part was their drone at my outdoor ceremony. I loved it and all my guest are still talking about it.
