    So thrilled with our photos!

    I knew I wanted to work with Joe immediately after speaking with him. He has such a calm and relaxed presence and clearly knows his stuff. I was relieved to find someone I trusted immediately and knew would be a good fit. He is a great communicator and made the whole process a breeze. His photos capture the emotion of the day so well and are uniquely composed. I love all of our photos so much - they are unique and authentic and capture the spirit and love of the day so well. We have some amazing candid shots of my family that I'll cherish forever. I can't recommend him enough and am so glad we were able to work together.

    DeepWell Does Very Well!!!

    Joe was totally amazing. He's such an easy person to be around. Throughout the booking process, he had great patience and respect for us, quick responses, and great ideas. We could tell right away that he is a total pro and confident in his skills.

    During our wedding, he was awesome. Very calm and relaxed in a way that helped us feel so at ease and present in our day, knowing we had made the right choice of photographer to document our wedding in a beautiful and authentic way. He kept offering to help us with all the things throughout the day and seemed to know just when to add direction and help us feel our best in front of the camera.

    When it came time to review the images, we were absolutely blown away! They were so beautiful, raw, and full of emotion. I can't believe these are the images he created from our wedding! I was there and it never looked this beautiful. To know that we have such incredible memories to turn back to for the rest of our lives is just so wonderful!

    I can't wait to work with Joe again once we start having kids and growing our family. I just know that his vision of the small moments will be the perfect way to remember those early years!!!

    Thank you so much for pouring your heart into our wedding Joe!!!

    Highly Recommend Couple of Dudes!

    We used Couple of Dudes for our engagement and wedding photos, and both were wonderful! We really enjoyed working with Julian, who's so down to earth and makes you laugh throughout stressful moments. In addition, Kevin was great and made us feel relaxed as well. They understood what vibe we were going for with our photos and help brought that to life. Highly recommend them for all future wedding couples!

    Couple of Awesome Dudes

    When I came across Couple of Dudes Photography, they checked all of my boxes for photography style, positive reviews, photobooth, and personality. Photography was a high priority for me, so I needed to find the best and that's what I received with Couple of Dudes. I look at my pictures every single day, I am so in love with them! Joe was my main photographer and Paul was our second photographer. I explained to Joe to importance of taking pre-wedding photos at my house, since it was also the place my mom took wedding photos. He did an amazing job of capturing my favorite spots in the house and recreating some of my mom's wedding photos. Paul took some great candids of the groom and groomsmen while at the groom's parents' house. We chose our venue because of the beautiful grounds, but when it started raining, I was worried I'd miss out on having pictures outside. That did not stop Joe and Paul from taking gorgeous pictures of us in between the rain. Joe even walked us back to where our ceremony was supposed to be under the arch my husband made and snapped some of my favorite pictures there. During dinner and dancing, they blended in so well, I forgot they were there! Our bridal party loved how comfortable they made even the formal pictures feel.
    The add-ons I chose were the polaroids and the Grin Shack. The polaroids were great because I receieved them at the end of the night! Our guests had a blast with the Grin Shack, too. We provided some props, but Joe also brought a big trunk of things.
    I received the highlight images about a week after the wedding! I was expecting them to take longer. I will be suggesting Couple of Dudes to anyone looking for professional photographers.

    Joe is amazing!!

    I knew when we first started planning our wedding that I wanted to work with Couple of Dudes based on their photography style and a previous wedding that they had shot at Crested Hen Farms. We had initially hired Julian as our photographer, but when he could no longer shoot our wedding due to an accident, Joe stepped right in and saved the day! He was so down to earth and great about making me and my husband feel comfortable in front of the camera. We opted for two photographers and were so happy we did! Both Joe and Kevin captured some beautiful photos, despite the nor'easter that we had! Could not have imagined our day without them. We loved working with Couple of Dudes and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for amazing photographers who are also incredible people!

    Deepwell Photo's reply:

    Thanks so much Sarah! You guys were so adaptable and easy to work with--I'm so glad we made the day feel easy for you! Thanks again for choosing us to be your photographers.

    Amazing Experience & Product !!!

    Emily felt like one of the family on the day of the wedding. She seamlessly integrated herself into the day and took the most amazing shots. We originally went with Couple of Dudes based on a recommendation of their work - and wow we were not disappointed! They worked with our budget and gave us everything we wanted. I am so impressed how many pictures Emily was able to capture by herself the day of the wedding. She covered everything. We are so glad we chose Couple of Dudes for our big day!

    Simply the Best!

    We absolutely loved working with Joe at Couple of Dudes. He immediately made us feel comfortable in our early phone conversations and at our engagement shoot. We felt like we had known him for years--mostly because he cared so much about capturing what was most important to us. On the wedding day, they captured so many beautiful moments. We didn't have a videographer and honestly, with the pictures they took, we didn't need one. They were out on the dance floor with us, at the after party, and really shared in our special day. It truly felt like they were old friends and we're just so happy for us. I cannot recommended them enough--especially if you want your day captured vs. portrait pics...which we did too for the parents :) ABSOLUTELY USE THIS AMAZING COMPANY!

    Deepwell Photo's reply:

    Wow! Thanks so much Ellen--you guys made it easy to be excited, you're both such great people and you had your priorities figured out for your wedding day. Can't wait to see you both again!

    I cannot say enough good things about Couple of Dudes! The amazing thing about them is how flexible they are. Because we had our engagement photos during the busy wedding season (October) the album was going to take a little longer than I anticipated to be edited. When I had the opportunity to get a really great deal on the save the dates I had been eying, I called Emily and she made sure that we got had the 4-5 pictures we needed THAT SAME DAY!! I was able to order my perfect save the dates and save a ton of money with Emily and Joe's help! The finished album was well worth the wait and I am beyond thrilled to have worked with such wonderful people!

    Joe is the best!

    Our wedding photos feel like reliving the day over again. He was so fun to model for, keeps you laughing and comfortable. He is kind and we would hire him again and again. Worth every single penny. We are forever grateful to you for the beautiful photos you created.

    Working with Joe and Sara was such a pleasure -- they were incredibly helpful at every turn, and our wedding party had such a blast with them! Joe and Sara made everyone comfortable, and got the best shots for all. I would 100% recommend Couple of Dudes for your next event -- as we previously had Joe do our engagement shoot as well!

    Incredible!!

    Couple of Dudes was an amazing company to work with for our wedding photography. Not only was it a joy from the start to book them (I had at least a half hour phone conversation with the manager, laughing and joking and having fun the whole time), but the whole process of making an event schedule and getting ready for the wedding was a breeze.

    Julian did an incredible job with our photos. We were able to hire him to come to the rehearsal dinner as well as the wedding, and I'm so happy we have those memories captured to look back.

    Julian was fun and professional to the nth degree; despite a very unexpectedly eventful hotel stay (due to circumstances outside his control) the night before the wedding he still showed up and did a beautiful job. He made sure to stay until the end even though it was past time for him to leave so that he could photograph my Dad playing with the band. He was able to put everyone in a really happy, agreeable mood for portraits, and help us laugh and relax on what can be a stressful day. Our gratefulness shows in the photos. That kind of laid-back, relaxed, yet precise approach to photography is why I chose Couple of Dudes in the beginning, and Julian absolutely delivered on their promise.

    Thank you to everyone with Couple of Dudes for delivering an incredible product and being wonderful to work with!

    I'm not one to write reviews, but Joe Tighe from Couple of Dudes Photography did such an amazing job as our wedding photographer, that I would be so happy if this helps to persuade any bride (or groom!) to hire him.
    I'll start by saying that Joe lives in Chicago. My husband and I live in New York. After one or two phone conversations to get to know each other & discuss the wedding vibe/photography style we were going for, Joe offered to DRIVE the 12 hours to our wedding venue..need I say more? We also wanted a very specific type of photographer...none of that stereotypical cheesiness, hand holding while making heart shapes, etc. We just wanted our personalities and our day to shine through photos in a genuine way. It was also really important to find someone that made us feel super comfortable. Joe has no problem in that department. He's probably one of the nicest guys you'll meet & loves his job, you can tell. He immediately put me, my husband, family and friends at ease in front of the camera. Half of the time we actually forgot that he was even there! In terms of the final product - my husband and I were both at a loss for words when we received our photos. Joe completely captured the essence of our wedding day and totally portrayed who we are as a couple...the photos he took literally brought our wedding day to life again. Also - an amazing surprise that we received from Joe is the audio recording of our vows. We chose to do a first look, and read our vows to each other in private without a videographer to capture the moment. As a spur of the moment idea, Joe had actually put his phone on the ground near our feet and recorded the whole thing! We didn't realize until afterwards, and were so touched that he had thought to do something like that for us.
    If you're reading this Joe, thank you for being the best wedding photographer on the planet. You really exceeded our expectations and whoever you shoot next is great hands! THANK YOU -Rachel & Zack

    We absolutely loved working with Joe for our engagement pictures! He made us feel totally comfortable and the results really show it. The whole experience felt relaxed and collaborative. The pictures are beautiful and we cannot wait to work with him again for our wedding in October. We would highly recommend Couple of Dudes to anyone looking for natural, artistic, beautiful and fun photos!

    We had high expectations for Joe and Couple of Dudes and he did not disappoint! Everything was cool and professional from start to finish. We couldn't be happier with the photos and the experience and would recommend Couple of Dudes in a heartbeat!

    Working with Emily throughout the whole wedding process was great!! We met a few times before the wedding to talk a bit about what location & stuff but mostly we got to know each other! We connected instantly and we 100% trusted her to capture our day!
    The day of the wedding both her and Pavel were amazing! They worked together to get the best pictures and they were on top of everything including the schedule!
    Based on our experience and the quality of our photos, I believe that Couple of Dudes is worth the price! These photos accurately portray our big day & i wish we were relive it again and again!

    Couple of Dudes is simply the best. We had an amazing time working with Joe and Margaret on our wedding day. They were both just so relaxed and confident, which made us relaxed and confident. The whole process was just so natural and effortless - and we received amazing pictures in return. We couldn't recommend anyone more than we'd recommend Couple of Dudes. Joe shot our proposal, engagement, and wedding - we wouldn't have trusted anyone other than Couple of Dudes with the most important moments of our lives.

    You will LOVE Joe. It will be the best wedding decision you make to have Joe be a part of your day. He is friendly, accommodating, flexible, KIND, and anticipates your needs (he brought me wine when I needed a quick break away from the fun, and stole my husband and I away from a talkative guest to get a moment alone together to just enjoy our new marriage!). He managed the timeline, the amount of photos we wanted, and did so with the best personality. He figured us out as a couple quickly (we met him in person the morning of our wedding!) and knew exactly when to direct us and when to slip into the background.
    Honestly, Joe received the highest compliments from our guests. "Your photographer was amazing! Having so much fun!" and "Wow- we can't wait to see the pictures!"
    The photos are beyond beautiful- I didn't even know I could become so obsessed once we received them- but going through them is like watching your wedding day unfold before your eyes. The candid photos are so pure and capture the love that everyone felt that day. Joe works extremely hard, but all you see is him having the best time and celebrating your love alongside your friends and family.

    Couple of Dudes Photography was an excellent photography company to work with. I knew on my first call with Joe Tighe before booking them that they were the photography company I had to work with! My husband and I hate being in front of a camera, but Joe made us feel so relaxed and knew how to make us do the right things to capture a beautiful moment. They also did a phenomenal job capturing so many candid moments at our wedding. Looking through all my photos gave me a flashback of the entire day because everything was captured so well and just like I remembered. Also, Joe is such a great guy! Everyone at the wedding LOVED him and to this day people tell me how he wishes he was part of the family or in our group of friends. And Emily is fantastic to work with! She helped coordinate logistics and was so willing to answer the billion questions I had leading up to our big day and after!

    Julian (an associate Dude) was our photographer and we really couldn't have picked a better one! He was very nice and willing to take whatever shots we wanted. I don't think I could recommend Couple of Dudes (or Julian) enough! More than worth the money!

    Wow! We were so psyched to have been able to work with Couple of Dudes, the Joe Tighe Dude in particular! Joe's style is really inviting and comfortable, and everyone loved him as a guest just as much as they loved getting their photo taken by him. As a somewhat timid lady, I tend to be camera shy - but Joe made my husband and me feel natural and cool in front of the camera. And the outcome was stunning! We received our photos this week and can't stop oohing over them. Bravo Joe! Sending love from CT !

    Joe is amazing. As was Emily, the studio manager.

    I was really trying not to break the bank on my wedding, but knew exactly the style of photography I wanted. Of the 10 or so quotes I received from photographers I liked, Couple of Dudes was one of the most reasonable. They also worked with me to meet my price point. I scheduled Joe over a year before my wedding. Then, literally a month before my wedding, I realized I scheduled the wrong day! We had initially thought about having our wedding on a Saturday, but then moved it to the Sunday, and I hadn't told Couple of Dudes. Emily immediately put me at ease, telling me that they had backup options, but ultimately, Joe was free on the Sunday of my wedding so he was able to do it! They handled this very professionally, which I truly appreciated. Then... the actual event. We drove around Chicago with Joe and took pictures at some of the places we had spent early on in our relationship. He was fun to be around, and very easy going. It was a pleasure to spend the couple hours before the wedding with him. And lastly.. the end results. Our photos are amazing. The little things, like the shots he got of our neighborhood while he was waiting for us, or the dog in a backpack we saw while driving around the city, will be such treasures that we will cherish years to come.

    We cant say enough good stuff about Joe. For me, finding a photographer who matched our style was the most important vendor to research when wedding planning. We were so excited when we found Couple of Dudes work, and even more excited when we met Joe. He took the time to drive out to meet us to get to know us and answer our questions. He was so down-to- earth and seemed genuinely excited about our wedding, which made us even more excited for what we had planned! He hired Pavel as our second shooter, after meeting him and thinking he matched our personalities and the vibe of our wedding (he was totally right!) We really trusted Joe's judgment and advice. For example, he told us to “think about the big picture” (evident in his photos! He pays attention to the details but you don’t get lost in them- the photos are about the people and the emotions of the day). He also told us “make your back up plan something to get excited about” which we really took into account and ended up making me significantly less nervous about if it were to rain!
    Joe really is the type of person you wanna hang out with- while of course we wanted to get to the wedding, we were in no rush to finish pictures because we genuinely enjoyed ourselves. He was great with keeping us on schedule, but more importantly he seemed to really ‘get’ us and pick up on the small things that would make us laugh, which shows in our pictures.
    Honestly Joe really seemed to have fun, which made it so natural to be ourselves around him. Our guests loved him, and we have some great shots because he made it out on the dance floor and danced around with us! Joe even ended up being our driver too! He was ready to go above and beyond and we really appreciated that.
    Also! If you’re thinking about doing engagement pictures, do it! It helped to get to know our photographer and for him to get to know us. And if you're thinking about doing the grin shack, do it! Our grin shack photos were such a hit and hilarious :)

    Joe is the best. Working with him made our wedding planning so fun. Joe puts heart and thoughtfulness into everything. He definitely goes above and beyond. Totally impressed. Can't wait to work with him again. Can't recommend him highly enough. GO JOE + COUPLE OF DUDES!
