WEDDINGS
Every bride and groom wants only the best for their wedding day, and Studio 1125 is committed to capturing the moments and details that you will want to remember forever. At Studio 1125 you can trust Sean and Susan, and their team to document your day with an eye for flattering and artistic images that bring out the natural beauty and real emotion of your wedding.

"It's the beginning of your new life together. And you don't want to forget one joyous moment."

At Studio 1125, we understand the importance of not missing a single precious moment of your wedding day, because that was our expectation for our own wedding. We were married on a gorgeous, unexpectedly warm, 60-degree late autumn day in Chicago on 11/25. Like all weddings, our wedding day was a whirlwind because of the family and friends we were greeting and hugging, going from one place to the next, and making sure Susan's wedding dress was perfect. Looking back, without the photographs documenting the special moments, it would have been impossible to remember all the details and emotions that we experienced that day. Our vision for your wedding is to capture those special moments as naturally and creatively as possible. After the whirlwind of your wedding has come to an end, you can remember all the events of your special day captured in an artistic, classic, and detailed style that will bring you back to the joy of that day. Your photographs will tell the story of your entire wedding, including all the emotions, the romance, and the tender moments. At Studio 1125, we use a combination of photojournalistic and traditional styles to ensure that no moment is missed.

OUR TEAM
In addition to Susan's eye for detail and beauty in every shot, and Sean's expertise and passion to capture spontaneous moments in the best light possible, Studio 1125 employs a select team of professional photographers and videographers to assist in documenting your special day.

Sean was very personable from the start, beginning with our introductory meeting when he presented what his services entailed and what price points he charged at for his work. Once we decided to engage his services, he was very responsive and solicited the needed information from us to plan his shoot. He was very reassuring in the lead-up to the event, and kept us informed of his plans and work flow as the date drew near. On the day of the wedding, Sean was punctual, professional, and performed admirably. For the groom's preparation shoot, Sean interacted superbly with the groom's family and friends and got the best formal as well as impromptu shots that day. Same with the bride's side. His friendly, lighthearted personality helped keep the day not stressful, which was both helpful and appreciated. Throughout the lead-up to the wedding, the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, Sean really was a virtual Ninja as he slipped in and out of the crowd getting the best shots - both posed and candid. He was so unobtrusive that we rarely saw him! In the end, we were very happy with his product and would recommend his services to other couples for their big day.

Our decision to book Studio 1125 for our wedding was one of the best, best choices we made. Every meeting with Sean was professional but so so intimate and thorough. He is prepared to answer every question, to allay every fear; he put us at ease and made the planning process so seamless. Despite our budgetary limitations, Sean came up with a wedding package that worked within our parameters, and gave us exactly what we needed and everything we wanted. One of my favorite experiences with Sean came BEFORE the wedding, at our engagement shoot. Let's just say, I've never posted a profile pic that garnered as many "Likes" as ones that I've posted from our engagement session. It was then that we discovered how amazingly easy it was to work with Sean - his eye is outstanding, his direction is impeccable, his collaborating is so so appreciated. Our engagement session was beyond stunning, and left us so excited for what we'd get on our wedding day; it goes without saying that we weren't disappointed. Come June 23, 2013, for all the things I had to think about that day, photography wasn't one of them. Sean - the self-professed "photo ninja" - captured our day thoroughly and beautifully, never in anyone's way, but always in the right place. I know the day was about me and my husband, but I swear that some of my favorite shots are of me and my family - photos that we've never ever had taken, that are just too beautiful for words. I'd venture to guess that amongst the pre-wedding shots, the ceremony pics, and the bridal party formals, we ended up with candids that capture nearly every one of our 100 wedding guests. It was a ridiculous pleasure to work with Sean, both creatively and business-ly (no email or question went unanswered...and goodness knows I asked him every one!). Sean, Studio 1125 - thank you for sharing our wedding day with us, and to anyone looking for an amazing photographic experience, to consider the one, the only, the photo ninja: Sean Yoon and Studio 1125.

Sean, aka the Photo Ninja, was great!! I had heard about him through a friend and had seen his work through his website and was impressed. I only spoke with him on the phone initially, but knew that I wanted to book him as my photographer as soon as possible! He is very professional, easy-going, and friendly and always made me and my husband feel comfortable. He really makes it a point to try and get to know his clients so that he can take the best pictures and make them happy. Everyone who saw our e-session photos and wedding photos thought they were amazing. He was able to capture everything that I wanted (without having to tell him). And I think that comes with him knowing and understanding his clients. He was so helpful throughout the whole wedding planning process and was always willing to offer any sort of help or support. He’s not only good, but very efficient! He knows how to capture the perfect shot quickly but never made anything feel rushed. I would recommend Sean to anyone who is looking for a photographer. He simply is the best!

Sean was so fun and easy to work with. He always responded quickly to any requests we had, and he made sure to get all the important photos during the wedding day. He was professional and also cared by making sure I was having a good time during my engagement session and during the day of my wedding. From the first meeting, during which he sincerely asked about me and my husband, to the wedding night, Sean was professional, and I would gladly recommend him to anybody for their wedding.

Sean was AMAZING!!! I wouldn't have dreamed of another photographer for our wedding day! He was great with our guests, had a ton of energy and was interactive and polite with everyone even our guests! You don't see that often with photographers. Studio 1125 is expensive, but well worth it! I was also nervous and stressed about making sure everything was in place and done, I may have been a little email crazy emailing Sean. But he was so sweet and offered help in any way he could to ease the stress in making the final day flawless! Sean's previous couples always go back to him for family portraits because he has this amazing connection with people. It feels as if he's part of your family, not just your photographer! Not only is Sean himself amazing but so were our wedding pictures. He worked so hard on trying to get all of the pictures we wanted with such a huge family and friends, I was amazed how we got the pictures because I didn't think it would happen since we had so many events going on on our wedding day, 2 ceremonies, photo booth, dj and band and cinematographers. Sean was easy to work with, since he's so laid back and easy going; it definitely helped put my mind at ease that our wedding day would go smoothly. Our pictures turned out amazing! Our friends and family were so impressed with him as a person and as a photographer, they've nicknamed him the "Photo Ninja"!

Our experience with Sean has been amazing. We booked our engagement and wedding photo sessions with Sean in the LA area, and he has been fantastic! His professionalism, skill, and personability resulted in a terrific set of visual memories for us. We especially apreciated his attention to detail and the fact that he takes time to truly listen to his clients' needs. We couldn't be happier with our photos and have received many compliments from guests. We highly recommend Sean and his team from Studio 1125.

I did lots of research regarding wedding photographers, and by far Sean was the best! I am originally from California and my husband is from Chicago so we did engagement pics in LA and our wedding was in Chicago. He knew both areas so well and had so many creative ideas to make our pictures pop! We appreciated his great service and promptness in delivering our photos. We also took advantage of his "Fun Booth" which is a higher tech photobooth with all the props. Our guests LOVED their photos and it was a nice addition to our wedding. It made it easy that I was able to get both services from one vendor. I highly recommend Sean and his crew for all your wedding photography needs! He also does family portraits, babies and parties so I plan on using his services again in the...

Sean was great. Easy to work with, gave us everything we wanted in one package and he clearly enjoyed what he was doing. He was very methodical and helped guide our day-of schedule so that all the pictures that we could possibly want got taken with a smooth flow to the whole day but was still flexible enough to deal with our last minute weather related schedule changed.

Sean at Studio1125 was referred to us by our DJ. He was easy to get a hold off. Right from the first conversation on the phone, my husband and I knew he was special. He was excited to meet with us and worked with our schedule. On our first meeting, he was very friendly and personable. He was interested to know how we met, details of our engagement, etc. He showed us his portfolios and sample of the love story video. We fell in love with his work. My husband and I loves artistic designs and pictures that captures real moments! He knows that we are paying for our wedding on our own and he worked with our budget. We did our engagement session in September at Botanical Garden. Sean made us both feel at ease and comfortable- we had no idea how to pose! He knows all the right angles and good lighting. The pictures all turned out really great and we were able to use them on our wedding site and save the date card. We got married on July 3rd, 2011. Sean was very friendly to all our guests, wedding party and relatives- they all love him! All our wedding pictures were amazing! We got great compliments from our coworkers, relatives and friends - even strangers! The hardest thing for us to do now is picking out the best pictures to go on our wedding album! We highly recommend Studio1125, Sean is amazing to work with!

Studio 1125 captured beautiful and thoughtful engagement and wedding memories for us. We requested to have specific moments and details captured on our wedding day and we were thrilled to know that Sean tended to every detail. After perusing through our pictures we struggled to pick out which photos we liked the best as each image stirred up sentiments and emotions. Studio 1125 makes every effort to make you feel comfortable and cared for. Studio 1125 went above and beyond to ensure that we were 100% happy. Sean even went out in the pouring rain to capture some of our most beautiful shots. The end result absolutely lived up to our expectations. We would highly recommend Studio 1125. You will not be disappointed.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
