Megan M. Sent on 12/27/2021The Best Chicago Photographers
Words cannot express how highly we recommend The Spragues. Katherine and Daniel are two of the sweetest and coolest people ever and they made us feel immediately comfortable working with them. They took both our engagement wedding photos and we got a TON of amazing images that had been composed and edited with attention to detail and care. Their style is unique, artsy, and modern. They were able to capture the feel of our romantic Chicago wedding with a timeless style that is so characteristically THEM as artists but also US as a couple.
The wedding day goes by so fast that I was worried I would miss out on some of the details, but their photography captured every important moment, detail, and aspect of the day. Not only that, but they also delivered our full wedding album on CHRISTMAS DAY (the best present), which really captured their thoughtfulness and how much they care about the couples they work with.
Cannot recommend working with them enough! My one piece of advice is to put the extra money towards hiring both photographers (Katherine and Daniel) as a team—they were able to shoot in multiple places at the same time and working with both of them was truly special! Best decision we made!

Kate and Dan were amazing! We weren't quite sure what we wanted, but that didn't stop them from delivering photos we will love forever. Not only did they produce beautiful images to remember our special day, but they were able to suggest so many fantastic locations to shoot around Chicago. They are a great team that is easy to work with, extremely creative, and clearly know what they are doing. Highly recommend to anyone needing photographers. -

Choosing the Spragues for our wedding was by far the best decision we made for our wedding.
When we started looking at photographers for our wedding, we were committed to budgeting to whatever photographer was our favorite. After all, a wedding is only one day but the photographs last forever, right? We narrowed our favorites down to 3-5 photographers, and we chose the Spragues to do our engagement shoot. We knew before we got our engagement pictures back that we wanted Dan and Kate to shoot our wedding - they are the type of people that make you think you’ve known each other for years. And then, we got our engagement pictures back; surprise surprise, they were fantastic! We just had our wedding a couple weeks ago and we had the best. day. ever.
Their work speaks for itself, go check out their Instagram! -

My photos are the most unique photos i have ever seen and I love each and every one of them. The way the moment is captured from the ceremony, portraits and just candid ones makes we so happy to look back on this day time and time again. I have never felt so beautiful in photos and would recommend the Spragues over and over again!!!! -

I was given wedding planning advice that the one thing worth spending money on is a photographer because after it's all over it's all you'll have left, memories. I took that advice to heart and my partner and I decided to go with our dream photographers, Dan & Kate Sprague. We saw their work from a friends wedding and were floored by the absolute beauty of their work. Throughout the whole process, Dan & Kate were responsive, patient (we asked for sneak peek photos and they indulged) and personable. On the day of, they were timely and kind. It was like working with the perfect professionals who you wouldn't mind also grabbing a drink with, because they both made you feel comfortable. We received our photos at the beginning of this year and cannot stop looking at them. We've received so many compliments and am so thrilled that these are the photos that will be with us forever. I can't understate how truly wonderful they are. Hire them, you won't regret it! -

The Spragues are amazing!
Daniel and Katherine are the best of the best. They were so friendly and professional from our first meeting to post-wedding. On the wedding day, they were a ton of fun to be around while also somehow always being in the background. Many guests told me they never even saw our photographers. They have an incredible ability to capture every special moment, and there were so many moments that I would have never been able to see if it weren't for them. Their work is beautiful and brought us to tears when we saw the final product. If you want gorgeous, high-quality, photo-journalistic images, you will NOT be disappointed. You will want to frame all of them. I can't thank them enough, they were the best decision we made for our special day! -

Great results, easy to work with!
Daniel was both a great addition to the party and a professional, organized vendor. I was able to communicate with him easily via email + phone beforehand, ensuring we were aligned on the schedule and expectations of the day. As a producer, I felt confident and prepared for the wedding day. As a bride, I was relieved to be working with such a positive, enjoyable photographer.
My husband and I and the wedding guests loved working with Daniel, and everyone felt natural having their photos taken. The photos turned out beautifully, and he captured the energy and mood of the event perfectly. A super strong photographer in his craft.
After the wedding, we received our edits after 3 months. It did feel like a long time, but there were a ton of selects and Daniel kept us informed the entire time we were waiting.
I'd recommend The Spragues to anyone looking for a photographer who will get you out of our shell on your big day, and ensure you're smiling the whole way through. -

Beautiful photos
My husband and I had a great experience with Daniel - I was choosing from SO many different photographers and I just loved that their photos weren't so "cookie cutter" and could tell he really had a great eye. Our photos didn't disappoint! I only wish we had more time to shoot and get even more. The site for downloading photos that he uses is very user friendly as well, both for sharing and downloading. I also choose him as I knew my husband would feel more comfortable with him, as a fellow Star Wars and beer loving guy, rather than some of the more "romantic/mushy/bohemian" photographers I had spoken to. Thanks for the gorgeous pictures and for making us both feel so comfortable on our big day!The Spragues's reply:
I'M NOT CRYING! YOU ARE CRYING! Seriously had such a blast with you guys and we need to hang out again soon and grab a couple beers! Thank you for the kind words! -

The BEST Wedding Photographers!
We highly recommend the Spragues for any event and couldn't be happier! The
Spragues from Day 1 were very responsive, fun, friendly, affordable and
willing to accommodate our crazy schedule for the day. They made us feel so
comfortable and we truly had so much fun with them! Our pictures came back
quickly and they are absolutely beautiful and so much more than we could
ever expect. Truly they are the best! -

Seriously the best!
Daniel and Kate were an absolute pleasure to work with. Not only is their work bad-ass/stunning/wait is that me, omg that's me, I look amazing, Dan and Kate are two of the most organized and hardest working people we had the pleasure of meeting during our wedding planning. From the moment they walked into our venue, they felt like friends. They danced with us, chatted with our families, and even let our sweet two-year-old nephew snap a few photos with their camera. What I really loved about them was how they let moments happen organically, somehow whenever something beautiful or fun (i.e. tequila shots with our friends, a quiet moment together, the small DIY details we stayed up so late to make) was happening I would look up and Dan or Kate would be there to capture it. Our photos not only capture how our wedding looked, but also how it warm and loving it felt. They both have an incredible and purely raw talent for photography and we will cherish our photos always. Nothing but love for Dan and Kate! -
