Andrew and his team (Kristen, Katy, and Matt) were amazing to work with and are wonderful people. Choosing a photographer and videographer for your wedding day is daunting. There can be a lot of options and price points that are grabbing for your attention. We are so glad we picked Xcite Photos and Films. Their work is the highest quality and their prices are very reasonable, I don't think they can be beat in that department. We were very happy with the photos and videos that they captured for us on our wedding day. We had our engagement photos at Cantigny Park with Kristen, our getting ready photos at Hotel Arista, and our ceremony and reception at Meson Sabika with Andrew, Katy, and Matt. Andrew and his team all had prior experience taking photos at all of these places. That experience was so valuable as it made the process so easy on our end. They knew where to go and coached us in the poses we would take for the photos. The process was efficient and fun! My wife and I are so awkward in front of a camera and do not consider ourselves photogenic yet Andrew and his team made us feel comfortable and did their magic in making the photos turn out so well. They are very relaxed, calm, patient, and accommodating in the midst of what is a very chaotic wedding day and meeting our expectations and staying on time. They even captured our Tea Ceremony during our wedding day and have done a lot of weddings with different customs and traditions. Their photobooth and props were also a huge hit at our wedding. They are great professionals.
The turn around time for our photos was extremely fast, within two weeks of our wedding. And our video came out in three weeks. That was greatly appreciated!
When you hire Andrew, you know you are hiring someone who genuinely cares about you and your wedding day and capturing the best moments for you. For our wedding day specifically, it was raining/drizzling on and off all day. We planned to have our ceremony outdoors and it was not projected to rain come our ceremony time. But with the uncertain weather, our venue wanted to respect our request to have it outdoors but was hinting it would be best for it to be indoors for their staff which was understandable. Andrew nudged us to have it outdoors and wanted to honor our original vision for our wedding. We ended up having our ceremony outdoors and it turned out so beautiful and the pictures also turned out fantastic. A lifetime of thank you's from us to them. We highly recommend Xcite Photos and Films!

Incredible vendor for an incredible wedding experience!
I must say that Andrew and his team were simply fantastic! Their professionalism and expertise in their field were outstanding right from the beginning. Our wedding day was on July 23rd, and we were overjoyed when we received our breathtaking wedding photos just 18 days later! Despite having a 300-guest wedding, Andrew and his team were able to capture every detail and every individual present. We are absolutely thrilled with the results and highly recommend Xcite photography without a doubt!

Best Wedding Photography Around!
Xcite Photo (Kristen DiMonda especially) was the most incredible choice for photography. Their staff is professional, very aware of where to be and how to capture the best pictures, and was remarkably timely with sending the final products. My husband and I couldn't be happier, and wouldn't have worked with anyone else for our wedding day photos!

We used Xcite Photography for our engagement photoshoot and wedding and we couldn’t be happier with the service. Andrew, Kristen, Mike and Chris were so easy to work with and they made us feel so comfortable when taking photos. The final photos and videos were better than we could imagine and they had a quick turnaround time. I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. Using Xcite Photography was one of the best decisions we made when wedding planning!

Selecting a photographer is an investment. Andrew at Xcite Photo will not disappoint. They have of package options to customize your needs and their pricing is completely reasonable.

Excellent wedding day experience
Xcite Photo was wonderful to work with for our wedding. Andrew and Kristen were incredibly helpful in the upfront planning and constantly communicated with us when we had questions. Our day-of team of Joe, Diana and Matt did an awesome job throughout the day in capturing all of the important moments, from getting ready through the end of the night. The team put a lot of thought into the pictures taken and came up with some unique and fun ideas to capture. The photobooth at our reception was a hit and was easy to use. Xcite Photo delivers a ton of value regardless of your wedding day needs and we will be recommending them to anyone we know getting married.

Kristen and Chris were great with everything from the suggestions and tips from the pre-event call through the conclusion of the event.
They were a pleasure to work with, they effortlessly blended in with the guests, making everyone feel comfortable and at ease and capturing genuine smiles, tears of happiness, and heartfelt interactions without interrupting the flow of the evening of our reception.

From the start, Andrew and his team were amazing! Between planning the engagement photo shoot and the wedding day he was spot on! He had awesome ideas for a couple who doesn’t think they are photogenic. Our pictures came out beautiful and had such a quick turnaround time, we recommend Xcitephoto to the moon and back!

Very accommodating and professional in every aspect from the initial consultation through our wedding night.
I've worked with Andrew and Xcite Photo over many years and asked him to do my own wedding. He is not only a great friend but truly a master at his craft. He was very professional throughout the planning process. Andrew explained everything to us and answered all of our questions. His photography and videography services are top notch. We are so happy we chose him and he was definitely our best vendor by far. Xcitephoto is worth every penny and we will always recommend Xcitephoto to anyone.

Breathtaking Photos!
Wow! Andrew and his team did an amazing job at capturing my wedding day! Our pictures came out beautiful. They made sure that we got every picture and pose we wanted without hesitation. I was thoroughly impressed with the amount of photos taken as well. There were so many to choose from that it was hard for us to pick our favorites because they were all so good! The photobooth that was included in our package was a huge hit with our guests! I highly recommend considering Xcite Photo to capture the most important day of your life. I promise, you will not be disappointed!

Andrew and his team were amazing to work with! Very professional and knowledgeable in their line of work. My husband and I got married October 8th and received our wedding photos 3 weeks later! Our photos are breathtaking, they did an amazing job in making sure every little detail was captured and everyone there was captured! When we received our video back, it had me crying throughout the whole thing! I can tell so much time and effort was put into making our video so special. We also did engagement session with Andrew and again, blew us away with his work! I highly highly recommend Xcite photography!!

A great choice for wedding photography!
The pricing for the photo options was so reasonable compared to other pricing that my now husband and I were seeing when trying to find a photographer. For both my engagement session and wedding photos, we got our galleries back so much quicker than I thought we would (within 3 weeks!)
Kristen and Tyler were amazing with our photography at our wedding. They made us feel so comfortable taking pictures and made it so much fun. All of the pictures turned out so great that it's hard to choose which ones we want for our wedding album!

We are so happy with Andrew's work and would like to sincerely thank the entire team at Xcitephoto! Andrew and his team were with us all day and the photos turned out AMAZING! We also opted to have a videographer and are soooo glad we did! Our video montage is PERFECT! I am normally not an emotional person, but every time I watch our video, I need to have the Kleenex close by! Thank you again Andrew and team for so perfectly capturing our special day! Your work is amazing and I highly recommend you and your team to all!

Best photography company
I literally cannot say enough about Xcite. They were so understanding and flexible when we had to move our date because of Covid concerns and even photographed our elopement that we had on our original wedding date. They just photographed our bigger wedding this past weekend, and although we obviously haven't got the photos back yet, I'm so confident they'll be amazing based on the photos we received last year. We clicked with our lead photographer Phil immediately at our engagement shoot and have had him working with us since. He's professional, organized, and takes great photos but is also calm, kind, and funny. This year we also had Ben as a videographer and Chris as a second photog, and they were both great too. The photo booth was a great addition and we loved looking through the book. You will not find a better photography company and they're also so much more affordable and flexible than most other photographers we researched. Love love love xcite ❤️

The best of the best, no question about that
Andrew and team were phenomenal. My daughter got married July 24, 2020. They arrived early and captured so many beautiful moments. His photography style is very creative with brilliant colors like you’ve never seen. I have two more daughters to marry off and I told him he absolutely must be the one to do the whole package. The videography was outstanding. We are so pleased with the quality and we never felt hurried and he definitely worked around us without ever being in the way. Any questions that we had, he answered immediately. He is great about answering his phone. There were so many moments that were captured that other people would have missed. We are so glad that we did our research and found Andrew at Xcite. He has a very relaxed calm manner and is always personable and patient at a time when most people would be under stress. He just seem to float about and capture just about everything just the way we would want it. No one should hesitate on choosing Andrew and his team for the whole package including photography, videography, and even the photo booth. One stop shop, that’s the best way to go.

Professional, Friendly Team and Great Pictures!
My husband and I got married on 5/27/22 and had the pleasure of working with Xcite Photo. Our main photographer Kristen, second photographer Taylor, and videographer Dan were AMAZING! All three of them were so nice and kind. They captured amazing pictures of our day and were patient with us as we were pulled in different directions throughout the day/night. We also worked with Andrew from Xcite for our engagement shoot, another exceptional experience with him as he captured such beautiful pictures for our engagement around downtown Naperville. The team was so kind and easy to work with from the moment we signed with them up until the wedding and even now as we email back and forth getting the final pictures and video. We can't wait to see the video montage they put together for us. I am so happy we chose Xcite for our special day and would recommend them to any couple that is searching for top-notch and well-priced photography/videography. In our package, we also had a photobooth which was a big hit with our guests! They are extremely professional, talented, and exceeded our expectations. Thank you to the Xcite team for making our day easy and capturing our special day for us!!

I chose XcitePhoto because their portfolio looked good and their pricing was so reasonable and boy am I glad I did!!! Andrew and Dianna were so fun and easy to work with! My husband and I are both camera shy and hate most pictures of ourselves but they made the process so comfortable and effortless by giving us direction and suggestions while also staying out of the way and capturing some truly beautiful candid moments. We're currently in the process of choosing pictures for our wedding album that came with the package we purchased and we're having the hardest time! Waaaay too many good options, which is a great problem to have! Highly recommend!!!

Amazing experience!
My wedding was three weeks ago in the suburbs of Chicago. Andrew and his team were absolutely incredible. Throughout the whole process, he was very responsive and we even had a few zoom calls/phone calls to discuss details prior to the big day. He worked well with all of the other vendors and also was very enjoyable to work with as a bride. The videos/pictures he sent were amazing and allowed us to relive the wedding day. I was impressed that he was able to complete them within less than a month of the wedding. I chose Andrew because he did some of my friends weddings, and I am so happy that I took their recommendation. I would also highly recommend Xcite Photo To any of my family or friends for their wedding or other event where photo/videography is needed.

I can’t say enough great things about Xcite Photo! Andrew and his team did an AMAZING job with photography/videography for my wedding this past March 2022. We scored a beautiful day weather wise and the pictures turned out better than I had ever imagined! We would definitely recommend Xcite Photo to anyone who is looking for upcoming wedding photography/videography :) great quality for an even better price!
