  Simply amazing - 100/100 recommended

  My wife handled the booking process but on the wedding day Layla could not have been more helpful, kind, patient, and honest. It was a windy day and she felt our original location wasn’t producing the high quality photos she wanted, so we went to another location. We really appreciated the honesty. She perfectly captured the day for us, and was extremely personable and kind. Would totally recommend!!!!!

  The best wedding photographer you could find!

  Layla was personable, friendly, professional and the sweetest person you will ever meet! She is simply amazing and very talented! My husband and I hired her for our wedding and we were so pleased with her professionalism and great communication throughout the whole process. The photos turned out amazing! And omg! our wedding photo album was breathtaking, and it was also delivered so quickly. Huge shout out to her assistant as well... we cannot thank you enough for the extra hand with both children crying for their mom while we were taking pictures the morning of the wedding. We could not be more pleased and grateful for going above and beyond and making our day so special by capturing our special day so beautifully. We highly recommend Layla Eloa Photography and cannot wait to work with her in the future.

  Layla is a rockstar

  Layla is a dream to work with! Not only is she personable, professional, and prompt, but her photos are breathtaking.
  
  She was incredibly flexible and shifted course when we had to move our wedding date from 2020 to 2021. On the day of our wedding, she showed up early and was incredible at ensuring we got all of the photos we wanted with friends and family. She's fantastic at capturing candid, unposed moments. We're so happy with our wedding photos and our family won't stop raving about how beautiful they are!
  
  Layla went above and beyond in so many ways and I would recommend her to anyone.

  Layla is incredibly professional, friendly and a pleasure to work with.

  Layla was incredible! My husband and I are so happy with the beautiful photos we recieved. Especially happy with Layla's patience with us on the day of (MOH/sister going into labor). Cannot describe what she does with the light but every photo looks magical. I can confidently say she is the best photographer in Chicago. We will cherish these photos forever.

  Layla is Amazing!

She did such a quick turnaround with all of our photos and they are gorgeous! My husband and I are not used to getting our pictures taken and she made us feel so comfortable and gave us cues/suggestions the entire time. HIGHLY RECOMMEND her for your future wedding!

  Layla was absolutely amazing and the sweetest person I have ever met. From the moment we met to go over our vision, I knew that we were in good hands. She was always on time, kept communication high, even followed up with me months later to remind me to select photos for our photo album! :) We used Layla for both the Wedding and our Engagement pictures and I am so glad we did. Layla really knows her craft and always made sure the lighting was perfect. She even went to scope out an area that I wanted to use just to make sure it would photograph well. That is true passion and commitment to your customers. Layla, I can't thank you enough for all you did to make our day perfect. Thank you so much!

  Layla was amazing to work with! She is super sweet and very flexible with all of our requests. She put us at ease during our e-session and did an amazing job with all our guests the day of the wedding. We were shocked by how quickly she was able to prepare/edit our photos for both the e-session and the wedding day!! From what other photographers we interviewed had told us, it usually takes at least a few weeks to get the photos edited and ready, but Layla did it in under a week even though there were almost 1000 photos for our wedding day. Her work is so beautiful and we are so happy to have gone with her for our wedding.

  Layla was so amazing to work with from start to finish. She took the time to sit down with me to explain all the package options and the pricing. She was super flexible with scheduling our engagement shoots in Chicago and then flew out to PA to shoot our wedding. She was so patient and professional and indulged in all my family's photo requests. The photos turned out absolutely gorgeous and we could not be happier!! All my friends family have been raving about the photos and asking who my photographer was - Layla! I highly recommend Layla and would not hesitate to use her in the future. Thank you again!!

  Layla was exceptional to work with! I have a huge family and majority speaks different languages, Layla made it a seamless process during our wedding photograph session.
  
  She has an impressive mastery of lighting. We had indoor and outdoor photographs and we were sooo moved by her work! She captured emotions and the over all experience of our wedding.
  
  The presentation of her work was also another must mention. The usb and the encasement of everything was an adorable presentation that essentially is a keepsake :) Our album is beyond words. The quality of the pages and the photographs, not to mention, the patience Layla had with me to design the photograph layout for the album, it was over all WONDERFUL!
  
  She is truly a gem!!! She worked so well with our videographer too, you would have that they had worked together in the past but they had met the DAY OF THE WEDDING!
  
  We have now worked with her for our engagement, wedding, and now maternity pics and for our upcoming baby shower too :)

  My now-husband and I assembled an absolute dream team of vendors for our September 17, 2016 wedding and Layla was the best of the best.
  
  Layla responded to emails and questions from me and my planner promptly. She helped us plan the shot list and schedule in the weeks before the wedding and helped me through some concerns I had about my family. Layla works FAST. We received our engagement photos back within two weeks and our wedding photos within a month (we were still on our honeymoon!).
  
  The quality of the photos is incredible. Layla captures light and plays with focus to create really beautiful, unique images. She has a distinct style, which is well represented in the sample images on her website, so you can know what to expect. She has a lot of impressive camera equipment and clearly knows how to use it.
  
  Layla is easy to approach with your preferences and ideas, and when I told her I didn’t want some of the more cliched images (no standing-in-a-field engagement photos, no shoulder-tap for the first look), she helped us pose in a way that felt natural to me. She's a hard worker, fun to get along with and she has a great attitude - our wedding took place on her birthday but she seemed like she wouldn’t have wanted to be anywhere else.
  
  Finally, the price is great for the responsiveness, quality, professionalism and personality you get with Layla. The package we bought, which included our engagement and wedding shoots, online albums, USB drives with high-quality images, and a wedding album, was completely worth it. We have no reservations about recommending Layla wholeheartedly. She is the best.

  Layla photographed us for both our engagement and wedding. She was the perfect photographer for these occasions.
  
  She was prompt, kind, and her work is so high quality. Our guests commented that they didn't even notice she was there, which is nice. She was able to seamlessly blend into the event and still capture all of the important moments. She also takes wonderful reception photos, which I really like.
  
  She's very easy to work with, has a wonderful personality, and really has an eye for this job. Your photos will turn out so wonderful and you will be glad you chose her.

  Layla took photos for our wedding in April 2016 and we were delighted with the pictures. When we initially met Layla we were very impressed with the photos from previous weddings, in particular the lighting in her photos in a variety of conditions from rainy to sunny days and evening shots; her excellent eye for lighting and framing photos is evident in the photos of our wedding as well. Layla was always very accommodating during booking, in particular customizing what services (number of hours, album, photo printing rights etc) we wanted included, and on the day with locations and timing. She was very popular with our guests for her friendly attitude. She was efficient at getting through a lot of formal family shots and always made us feel relaxed and comfortable. She took delightful candid photos throughout the speeches, dinner, and dancing which perfectly capture our wedding day. Layla used an assistant on the day which made a big difference in helping with the set up for shots and lighting for evening photos. The photos look very natural, are well framed and the lighting and color is perfect. Our guests have all been very complimentary about the photos and we would not hesitate to book Layla again.

  We had an amazing experience with Layla, from the moment I picked up the phone and had our first conversation. She was very kind, down to earth and very spontaneous!!! We felt so comfortable with her in our wedding that we wouldn't notice when she was around! Our photos look absolutely gorgeous and it was by far the best investment we have made!!! Layla is magnificent and I would reccomend her to anyone with absolutely no warnings!
