    One of the best, most professional, and friendliest wedding photographers in Chicago

    We hired second print production to photograph our wedding at promontory point. Albert, took care of us from beginning to end. We had such a positive experience We hired him again to take photos for our arts business and we are planning on hiring them again and again for all our photography needs. I'm not being paid to write this. I'm just super grateful for them.

    Albert and his band of merry men are amazing photographers! Me and my husband were very pleased with his service and would recomend him to anyone. He does excellent photography and really captures the finer moments. He works hard to get all the pictures you need no matter which package you choose and will give you a CD of all the pictures he took which is included in every package. He also has a great website connected to secondprintproductions where you can buy printed pictures at a very affordable price. He's upbeat, he's friendly, and does spectactular work. He is a true artist. Thanks again Albert!

    My husband and I were married in June 2009. We heard about Albert through a friend. Her cousin used Albert's services for her wedding and he came highly recommended. We met with Albert and were impressed with his easygoing nature and we felt comfortable with him right away which I think is very important. As part of our package, Albert did an engagement session with us and we were very pleased with the way those came out. Albert spent a lot of time with us that day and we didn't feel rushed through our session. We used our engagement photos to create a guest book for our wedding and our guests enjoyed signing and viewing the photos. The day of our wedding, l fell a bit behind in getting ready which unfortunately cut short the time we had for pre-ceremony photos. That didn't keep Albert and his second shooter from taking creative photos around my parents' condo and the venue. We were very glad to have Albert's direction, creative eye and ability to adapt to the situation. He also did a really nice job capturing each of our family members during our Chinese tea ceremony. The only regrets I had regarding our photos were not due to Albert but were related to not being more specific about what shots we would like captured. We spent a lot of time putting together our menu but by the time photos were taken of some of the food stations, the guests had already eaten a lot of it. The items were covered though so it would have not been easy to photograph the food without cooperation from the caterers...Albert did however get several great shots of the sushi station which was a highlight for us. Also, it would have been nice to get more photos of the guests during the cocktail reception and dinner as there are some guests that we didn't get photos of. We had opted not to go to each table to take photos, but that may not be such a bad idea. Regardless, I would recommend to future brides and grooms to try to get photos of all the guests at one point or another during the wedding even if you don't go around to each table specifically.

    I also liked that we were able to access our photos from Albert's website and that we received all our photos on disc. I'm glad to have gotten married in the digital era! In all I think Albert did a wonderful job and he provided excellent value for cost. He was always very responsive to every email that I sent him and very prompt to respond. I would have no reservations in highly recommending him.

    Albert was amazing!!! Our photos ended up perfect! We had both our engagement and wedding photos done by him, and it was the best decision we could have made. Albert was so laid back and easy to work with the whole wedding day. He captured every moment, and with so much emotion. We are going to treasure these photos forever. They are more than I could have dreamed!

    We booked Secondprint Productions for our wedding photographs and they turned out wonderful! They captured the moments that we will spend forever looking back upon perfectly. Excited to work with them again in the future for other events.

    We had to have some professional photos done for business and Albert from SecondPrint Productions was our guy. He showed up on time to do the shoot. Told us what we needed ahead of time. The shoot was quick, easy and fun. Taking pictures for us can be a challenge but he made it a synch. I highly recommend him.

    Unmatchable. Albert’s business is ethical (unlike all other photographers I looked into) and his pictures are beautiful! He did our engagement and wedding photos, and they really captured the emotion during those days. My husband and I are usually super awkward in pictures but Albert somehow made us look amazing, and for that I will be forever grateful!

    Second print photographer was recommended to me by my close friend, and I am happy that I chose it for my wedding. From the very first appointment this place seemed to be different, more personal - and I had already met with many other photographers. I had been on 10 different appointments with other companies and usually they start with who they are and their packages, but with Albert our first appointment was about who I was as a bride and who the groom was and who we were as a couple. And with that our wedding pictures are much more than just happy pictures. They captured our personalities as a couple. Our wedding was split in two days for a traditional ceremony and modern reception and Albert was so involved in learning about our families and traditions that after an hour or so they didn't feel like photographers but good friends enjoying this special day together and they were there to capture every moment. The photos were a perfect blend of staged and candid shots and they even stayed late when they saw more guests posing at our flower wall at the end of the night. If you want your photos to feel personal and have fun while taking them, Albert is your guy!
    There isn't really anything negative I can say. He works with your schedule, and the results are spectacular. Thank you for a lifetime of memories!

    After seeing how Albert had worked with friends that had gotten married before us, we were set on having him as our photographer for our own wedding. Remarkable professionalism, creativity, and genuine care for the couple. Thanks for the beautiful memories that you captured.

    You won't mind more capable, accommodating, thoughtful, creative, and professional photographers than the folks at SecondPrint. I've used Albert and his crew for many of our company's events and they have always provided top notch service at great prices. They also go above and beyond to make sure our events are captured beautifully and are very responsive to any special requests. We don't bother going with any one else because we know that we're going to great service from this team! As for weddings, I've also worked with him in several events as coordinator and wedding party member. Same level of professionalism, creativity and thoughtfulness. You just can't go wrong!

    When I first viewed Albert's work, I immediately noticed the superior quality and creativity that shinned through. I knew with his passion and dynamic skills behind the camera, he was going to shoot my bike with inspiration and meaning.

    When I received the photos from my bike shoot, I was thrilled. He captured each angle perfectly. There are so many little details on my bike and Albert did an exceptional job in featuring them.

    Every time someone asks to see photos of my bike, I always show the amazing photos he took.

    I couldn’t recommend Albert highly enough.

    We had our wedding at Chihuly Garden and Glass in Seattle. Albert and Jason did a site visit before the wedding day. They took over thousands of photos and we LOVE every single one! Albert and Jason are very fun and kind and their approach makes you feel very comfortable in front of the camera. They took their time to capture every details throughout the wedding. Looking at the images bring back so much good memories and emotions with our friends and family on our wedding day. We could feel the love from looking at the photos. Our photographers are just professional, personable and perfectionists.

    Secondprint is great! Very professional and executed exactly how we wanted our wedding photos to be like. We were lucky enough to book Albert 6 months before our wedding date. He took the time to sit down with us to discuss how we wanted our photos to turn out and boy are we happy. We love our photos! Thank you again Albert and Jason!

    Albert is so professional, but still knows exactly how to make you feel comfortable. He made our day so much fun and didn't make us feel like all we were doing was taking tons of pictures. The whole experience was great from coming to our houses before and capturing every picture we could ever imagine having to the very end with everyone from the whole wedding in one picture. We couldn't have asked for anything more from Albert and Jason!

    We booked with Secondprint Productions last year (2015) after meeting him while working a friends wedding the year before. We looked at a lot of his work online and were very impressed. Pricing is about the same, if not a little less, than others we've searched. Packages where very straight forward and you can add things to your package if you'd like as well. Throughout the next 17 months, Albert would connect with us see how we were doing and see if we needed anything done special before and the day of the wedding. The day of our wedding, Albert and his assistant Jason showed up promptly. Jason was with me and the groomsmen and Albert was with my wife and the bridesmaids. They told us to relax and have fun with the pictures and we definitely did. They were very professional and fun to be around with. I'm very happy that I went with Secondprint Productions. Money well spent and then some. Highly recommend to anyone looking of a photographer who is professional but yet personal and fun to work with.

    Secondprint Productions did an amazing job with my wedding photos! They know the best location to catch that perfect moment needed for your wedding album! They were so nice, friendly, and easy to work with. All my friends loved my photos so much that they begged me for the reference!

    We had the absolute pleasure to have Second Print Productions capture such an amazing moment in our daughters life. The quality of work, dedication, and professionalism are beyond amazing. Our photo family session to capture our daughters first holy communion was the best, and Second Print Productions made the session run smoothly and the quality of our photos were immaculate. We look forward to Working with Second Print Productions to capture our wedding this coming year! Highly recommended!

    After looking through several bridal magazines of other couples wedding photos I knew I wanted a wedding photog that had an amazing eye for capturing the great moments of our special day. Being a bridesmaid for several weddings prior also helped in my decision to finding a fantastic photographer like Albert Yau as he was the complete opposite of some of the photogs that I had worked w/ in other weddings that only did overly posed shots and some were rude or extremely demanding to the wedding party & families involved.

    Before meeting w/ Albert Yau, I did my homework and met w/ a few other Chicago photogs but Albert really won us over w/ his energetic and genuinely happy persona and of course his incredible portfolio of photography spoke volumes! I was also pleasantly surprised w/ his pricing as he was really affordable and was super flexible w/ us on what we wanted for capturing the best of our day. He did grab some posed shots to make our parents happy and several we used for our wedding album but the best and most amazing shots of our day were all candid which is his specialty in my humble opinion and those are now the large prints we have hanging up in our home to remember our day.

    Albert Yau is fantastic to work with, super flexible on meeting your wants & needs of your event and has a extrodinary eye for capturing unique details and special moments. After our engagement & wedding photos came out a few friends of ours hired Albert on the spot to capture their special days as well. We've also continued to hire Albert over the past 8 years now since we've been so pleased w/ his work at our wedding to capture our expanding family over the years as he does such a great job at grabbing the perfect shots that show truly show the fun personalities of our little ones and we'll continue to hire him & recommend him as his fun-loving & easy going persona and of course his work speaks for itself!

    Albert Yau is an Amazing photographer. Very professional and made us feel welcome from the very beginning. His pictures truly captured my daughter Beauty in every way. I cannot not wait to schedule my son for a photo session next. I give him 5 stars and definitely will be call him again. I highly recommend him for any photography needs.
