  Absolutely Recommend

  We had such an incredibly positive experience with these guys, we couldn't recommend them enough.
  
  We got referred to Jeremy from one of our coworkers who used him for his wedding a few years back. Jeremy got a bit of info from us and then gave us the details of all the different options/pricing and photographers on his team (including some sample shots for each photographer). Ultimately we ended up choosing with Braxton and the whole process was a treat!
  
  Braxton got in touch with us to get an initial idea of what we liked/wanted when we originally booked several months before the day. Two months out, he reached out to set up an in-person meeting to hash out all the details. He really helped us give shape to our day. At that point in the process, that structure helped to coordinate other vendors down the stretch. It was also just nice getting to know him and build a bit of a relationship before the actual day.
  
  After that meeting, he had us fill out a form/survey to help us define the actual shots/locations we wanted. He was great about confirming what he interpreted from our responses and also offered suggestions to help simplify and improve on what we were thinking.
  
  Two weeks out we met up again to finalize shot lists, locations, and timelines. We ended up at this point wanting to add a second shooter, and Braxton was able to coordinate the whole thing with short notice. He also did a good job of just assuring us that everything was going to work out well.
  
  On the day off, we just had a blast with Braxton. We chose to do all the pictures before the ceremony, and so leading up to the ceremony, we basically just hung out with Braxton, Jordan (the second shooter) and our wedding party and everyone had a great time. At the ceremony and throughout the night, Braxton did a fantastic job making sure we got all the group shots we wanted and grabbed us for a few specific shots when the sun went down and the light was, "perfect.". From the previews, he sent a week after, he got a lot of great candids and other shots too.
  
  Really, Braxton was the best. Going into it, I don't think we knew how much the photographer was going to impact the flow of everything. Braxton gave us structure, but in a way that fit our specific tastes and interest. He's a good guy, a great photographer, and absolutely a wonderful choice. I'm sure the same is true of everyone on Jeremy's staff too!

  Beautiful Pictures and Experience!

  Braxton and Alice at Jeremy Lawson Photography could not have made capturing our wedding day any easier. They made being in front of the camera feel natural and fun. The pictures we got back were beautiful and they caught all the small moments in between shots. When you know the photographers will be with you the entire day, you want people who make you feel comfortable and also pump you up when you need it. They kept the energy up in front and behind the camera and we could not have asked for a better experience.

  Attentive and Professional

  Working with Braxton Black was one of the best decisions we made in our entire wedding planning process. Leading up to the wedding, we had several conversations with Braxton about what we wanted from our wedding (not just photography) and it was clear how important it was to him to help us work towards that goal. We were both a little nervous leading into our wedding day, but Braxton's personality, professionalism, and character truly helped us relax and get us started right. The event photography was fantastic -- we really wanted to capture our friends and family in a casual, natural light and he nailed it! Fun, heart-warming, everything we could ask for! Thank you, Braxton!

  Jeremy was a blast to work with for our engagement and wedding photos! He had shot my cousin's wedding so I was able to see him in action before we booked with him. But we knew immediately after meeting him that it was a great match! He is so easy to talk to and be around. His energy is contagious and it makes for lots of fun times. He knows a lot of wonderful locations to take photos. He gets great shots very quickly and always seems to be in the right place at the right time.
  
  We LOVE how our wedding day photos turned out and have received numerous compliments on them as well. There are so many great ones that it is hard to decide which ones to display in our home. We highly recommend Jeremy for your special-day photographer!

  Jeremy Lawson is absolutely the best event photographer in Chicago. He is professional, flexible, and beyond talented. His style is very particular, which I see as a good thing-- your photos will look like art, not just like anyone else's photos. Moreover, his prices are completely in line with those of other photogs in Chicago-- even less than several we interviewed!
  
  Back in September 2013, we needed our engagement photos quickly to produce save-the-dates and Jeremy delivered. We loved every shot he gave us and are constantly finding ways to use the pictures in new ways.
  
  We're waiting now for our shots from our August 31 wedding at the Field Museum, though I have every confidence they will be breathtaking. Jeremy gave me one photo before he left, taken just with his iPhone, and even that shot is spectacular. Plus all the guests at the wedding commented on how clearly capable Jeremy was-- getting right in the middle of the dancing, and being super efficient with all posed shots he took.
  
  Jeremy is a legitimate inspiration to both my fiance and me, who have both worked as event photographers ourselves. COME TO CALIFORNIA JEREMY!!

  We booked Jeremy before we booked anything else. He kept us so well informed and made sure that he had all the information he needed to give us the best possible experience. But he never overwhelmed me. He kept me calm and confident in what was happening around me. And his pictures are amazing. I know every time I want professional pictures done from now on I will book Jeremy. It was an incredible experience.

  Jeremy was a pleasure to work with. I am still waiting on my full website for all of the pictures from my wedding. But have seen a few that he has posted on his blog as well as the quality and style of the Engagement pictures that he did for us. He was very open to suggestions and ideas that we had. All day Jeremy was in the center of the action, making sure not to miss a single thing. I could not of asked for a better experience with a photographer.
  
  Extremely pleased

  BRAXTON BLACK is AMAZING!
  
  We were beyond thrilled with Braxton!! He's incredibly talented, his work is awesome and he's just the most fun, sweet guy to hang out with! Not only did my husband and I love him (and of course his photography), everyone at our wedding was raving about him too!
  
  My husband is an amateur photog and knows a lot of the technicalities. Prior to our wedding he interviewed several photographers, and hands down felt Braxton blew all the others out of the water! Braxton really knows photography and is very artistic, but also very open minded, flexible and receptive to who he's working with. He had plenty of great ideas, but welcomed ours as well.
  
  Braxton's assistant Alice was great also! They made quite a team, capturing us and our wedding so well. They worked hard and always with a smile or a joke. Beyond being true artists, they're just GREAT people!
  
  We feel like we truly lucked out finding Braxton and can't recommend him highly enough!!

  Jeremy is extremely talented and we are honored that we had the opportunity to work with him. He has a unique style but his pictures are classically beautiful at the same time. He is a sweetheart to work with and extremely professional. We had a blast working with him. Book him soon...he gets booked up super early! I highly recommend.
