We booked Ed as our main photographer, and we could not have been happier with our decision. We wanted a photographer to understand us as a couple, to focus on the classic staged w...
edding photos as well as our personalities. Throughout the process, Ed was responsive to our wants and needs, providing us with great ideas for where to have the photoshoot. The engagement shoot, which we had secretly been dreading, was an absolute blast. Ed made us so comfortable and at ease throughout the photoshoot, and of course, the photos came out beautifully. The day of the wedding was no different, as the potentially painful and long process of wedding photos was done efficiently and enjoyably. The photos we received back truly showcased the love and fun and big emotions we felt on our wedding day. We cannot wait to look at them with the fondest of memories for years to come. Thank you Ed!
Ed & Aileen were wonderful throughout our wedding process! The photos turned out better than we ever could have imagined, both for the engagement session and the wedding itself. We...
worked primarily with Ed and he makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera from the first moment. One of the best wedding decisions we made!!
Working with Ed and Aileen for our wedding was such a dream - we are both uncomfortable and awkward in photos, whether posed or candid, and yet Ed and his second shooter, Maloos, m...
ade us feel so at ease and natural in every setting.
Ed took our engagement photos about 10 months before the wedding and we could not have been happier with them. He was able to capture all sides of us and our relationship, from loving and intimate to goofy and relaxed, and Aileen's editing of the shots elevated them to an even higher degree somehow.
On the wedding day, Ed was so hilarious, responsive, thoughtful, and creative, letting us enjoy our whole day and capturing all facets of the celebration from the posed and poised to the rocking dance floor, and everything in between. We are already itching to see the final wedding photos and we know they'll be STUNNING again. The Ed and Aileen team are all beautifully kind and down-to-earth humans with extra-earthly talent and artistry.
We can’t rave enough about working with Ed & Aileen for our wedding photos! When we were hiring photographers, we wanted someone who could capture our day in a way that felt authen...
tic. What was astounding (and frankly magical) about Ed and Aileen’s work is that their photos captured the events of the day AND the emotions of the day all in one. Ed and the team have a spidey sense for when something is organically working, and they find a way to prompt that further and capture it at just the right moment. The result is jaw-dropping photos that gave us the opportunity to relive all the best moments of our wedding. Ed and the team made the whole process—from planning to engagement shoot to the big day to edits afterwards—feel the perfect balance of organized, fun, and supported. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough!
Working with Ed was absolutely amazing. First off, I loved doing the engagement session with him before the wedding. It made me feel a lot more comfortable in front of the camera a...
nd interacting with my partner in front of the camera before the big day!
The final photos? AMAZING. Ed was somehow able to get the most magical photos while wrangling 15+ wedding party members, getting us where we needed to go on time and still being very chill and fun. The locations he chose for the wedding party photos and portraits were perfection - they were exactly what we were thinking of and more. He just managed to capture the absolute JOY of the day and made everyone look SO good.
We have some really beautiful artistic shots as well as those classic portraits to keep parents happy. We could not imagine having our day captured by anyone else!
Ed & Aileen were an absolute dream. We first started working with them mid-pandemic and a lot of our wedding plans had gone out the window: our date had changed (twice), our venue ...
wasn’t set, our other vendors were uncertain. But Ed & Aileen were so flexible (and helpful!) throughout this super-stressful process. They were super responsive over email, very forthcoming with other vendor recommendations, and just a joy to get to know.
And the pictures! We absolutely loved our engagement photo session (we wanted some major Chicago vibes and boy did they deliver!) and loved getting to know Aileen despite the freezing cold Chicago weather. And our wedding day was nothing short of wonderful with them. Our families and bridal party talked about how cool and fun our photography team was, and we couldn’t agree more. It was truly a blast having Aileen with us all day. We are so pleased with the end result and will absolutely cherish these photos for the rest of our lives.
Ed & Aileen, y’all are rockstars.
Ed and his team were so wonderful to work with for our 11/5 wedding! From our initial conversation to our engagement session to our wedding day, Ed was patient, professional, and f...
un to work with. Our sneak peek photos were exactly what we hoped for with a mix of beautiful portrait photos as well as unique shots to capture the energy of the day. We can't wait to see all of the final results. Will definitely work with Ed & Aileen again for many more milestone celebrations and would highly recommend!
We worked with Ed and Chelsea for our wedding day - I cannot recommend these artists enough! We had originally planned for a 2021 wedding but with COVID we knew we had to postpone ...
if wanted our day to be the epic party we wanted. While they did charge us a fee to reschedule, they were able to compensate us with upgraded services from our original quote and Ed was so wonderful through the whole process. In my mind, for these reasons and more it was absolutely worth every penny to have them for our wedding. They are so professional, kind and downright talented. So glad we hired them - cannot WAIT for our photos !
Ed and Aileen are incredibly organized, kind, professional, friendly, and helpful. I had never been photographed professionally before and Ed made us feel comfortable and at ease. ...
He's hilarious and goofy, but also is great at giving us direction to make sure we looked our best. We had Ed, and one of his associates photograph the wedding, plus a videographer. We are obsessed with our photos and videos (one 12 min highlight, another long one showing the entire ceremony and all the speeches). I can't say enough great things about Ed, Aileen, and their team (also their cute baby!). This was hands down the best investment we made for our wedding. Everything else is just for one day, but the photos last forever. They helped us with scheduling the timeline for the wedding day. They let us choose locations, but helped with suggestions and logistics, etc. Incredibly fun and kind while still maintaining absolute professionalism. I never felt uncomfortable around this team and I usually hate being photographed. I can't recommend them enough. To those reading this: CONGRATS! It will all work out, and it will be a magical day! Cheers!
After meeting with Ed via Zoom, I left with the impression that they truly care about their brand and want their client to be happy with their photos, even if it's not with them. N...
o brainer, I booked with them ASAP. Unfortunately, due to my fiances failing health, we made the hard decision to cancel the wedding. When Ed found out, he went ABOVE and BEYOND to reach out with kind words and support. I cried while reading his email, simply because it showed me there is good in this world. Please book with Ed and Aileen!!!
Ed and Aileen are literally the BEST!!! When we were looking for wedding vendors, photography was on the top of our list, followed by the wedding venue. We hoped to find a photogra...
pher who would capture the moments naturally and who we would feel comfortable and less awkward in front of the camera. Ed exceeded our expectations and was super amazing!!!!! Everyone at our wedding loved his energy and the way he worked; he is not only talented but is very sharp yet flexible.
We had our wedding postponed twice due to Covid and Ed and Aileen were the MOST caring and flexible vendor among all the vendors we hired- including the venue, DJ, event design, etc. As plans changed due to Covid, we decided to have a small church ceremony and then have the wedding event/reception on the postponed date. Ed captured the moments at the church ceremony the most beautiful way, even when there was less than 10 people. And the photos from our wedding event at the hotel venue turned out as if they were from a movie.!! Ed and Aileen's photos are so LIVE and natural, and the photos turned out even more beautiful than how things actually looked in person.
We absolutely loved every single thing about Ed and Aileen and would recommend them to all of our friends. We can't wait to hire them again for our next life event in the future.
Thank you Ed and Aileen!
We had the pleasure of working with both Ed & Aileen on our wedding day and were blown away by their talent. Ed & Aileen do such a great job at capturing authentic, natural and rea...
l moments that you don’t even realize are happening until you see the photos. I was personally worried about looking up-tight and awkward in my wedding photos, but Ed & Aileen made the experience feel effortless & fun! They were so much fun to work with and fit right in with our wedding party. Ed & Aileen truly do have your best interest in mind and will go out of their way to capture epic moments that you didn’t even know were possible.
5 stars is not enough to review how fabulous and talented Ed and Alieen are. We are SO lucky we found them and we’re able to work with them. They are just great people and fantasti...
c photographers. From the initial meeting we knew they were our people, and that was confirmed when they helped us throughout the crazy replanning of our wedding due to covid. They are so professional, fun, and just made the whole day so fun and flow so effortlessly. They captured the love and amazing energy throughout the entire day through photos that will last a life time. We cannot recommend them enough.
Aileen was absolutely fantastic. As someone without a lot of understanding about how to make a great/beautiful picture, Aileen learned about what we wanted then gave us options tha...
t fit our intent. Our shoots were fun, playful and the photos came out beautifully. Thanks Aileen!
We can only ever speak highly of Ed & Aileen Photography and hope anyone who reads this review takes the amazing opportunity to work with them. My husband and I interviewed a coupl...
e photographers for our day which was planned to be a small thing to begin with. With Ed, something just clicked and we loved his energy and professionalism, but above all the friendliness and willingness to get to know us as a couple first. Ed & Aileen will not oversell. Ed worked with us to create a package that worked best for our vision and, on the day of, it was the perfect fit which speaks to his experience. We had our engagement session, wedding day photos & videography done by Ed and Jay. We were worried because we don't take many photos in general together and are very introverted, but we couldn't have asked to work with a better photographer who made us feel at ease as ourselves. All the photos we received were better than we could have imagined and we loved that they captured the stories of the day and our love. We are so happy with our video, especially during COVID times in being able to share our day with our family and friends. It was an item we flip-flopped on may times over, but have 0 regrets now seeing the beautiful production that we can share for years to come. We were cheesin' and crying as we watched our wedding day again. Ed, thank you so much for an unforgettable and positive experience. You have turned one of the happiest days in our life into a work of art.
Ed & Aileen have been amazing since day one! They have been there to support us as we navigated planning a wedding and a small ceremony (thanks COVID!). Their flexibility and under...
standing made having to postpone our larger wedding that much easier. In addition to being amazing humans, the photos are also amazing! Ed shot our engagement session and small ceremony. He captured every moment and small detail perfectly! Not to mention he is great at getting kids to feel comfortable getting their picture taken. We cannot wait for Ed & Aileen to capture our wedding later this year!! We highly recommend working with Ed & Aileen!
Planning a wedding during a pandemic in Chicago can be overwhelming for sure. The biggest challenge we encountered was finding the right photographer for us. We interviewed sever...
al different ones, I was beginning to lose hope, and then we found Ed & Aileen. Thank goodness we found them. Because we were having a very small intimate wedding, we chose to just have 1 photographer in the church with us which was Aileen. She was really easy to work with, she was organized, prompt, and definitely gave the proper attention to the details that were important to us for her to capture on our wedding day, 10/24/20. We cannot thank her enough for the incredibly beautiful photos she took. The candid shots are my absolute favorite because we can see the joy and love in our eyes. I cannot wait to make my wedding album and give photos as gifts to our family and friends.
In Sincerest Thanks and Appreciation!
Melanie & Jim
Don’t think TWICE about hiring Ed & Aileen as your wedding photographers!!! We had both Ed and associate photographer Chelsea photograph our wedding, and the photos turned out so b...
eautiful. You can tell how much thought and effort were put into the edits. So much talent!!!! Outside of their amazing skills, they are so fabulous to work with. One of the most responsive, organized, and accommodating vendors we had. Their work speaks for itself, but partnering with them throughout the wedding process was also such a pleasure. Thank you Ed & Aileen team for the best wedding (& engagement!) photos!!!!!
Working with Ed & Aileen has been a truly wonderful experience, even through a pandemic. Chelsea photographed our engagement session and our wedding, and we are so, so happy with h...
er work! She has a genuine and down to earth personality that really put us at ease. During all of the crazy Covid cancelling and rescheduling, Ed was extremely supportive, professional, and flexible. Aileen even surprised us at our wedding and helped out for a couple of hours. She is amazing. We are thrilled with our wedding photos and can't stop looking at them. They perfectly capture the extra special day we finally got to have. We are so happy we got to work with Ed & Aileen + Chelsea.
SO happy with our engagement photos. Ed made us both feel really comfortable and it was such a fun session. Thank you, Ed! Can't wait for the wedding day.
Ed & Aileen have been absolutely phenomenal since day one. They are both professional and fun! They made both of us (camera-shy introverts) feel at ease right away. We were anxious...
about our first professional photo shoot, but with Ed & Aileen it was a very relaxed and fun experience. The photos look amazing and really capture our excitement and happiness together. Unlike many other vendors, Ed & Aileen were proactive about reaching out to clients to discuss the impact of COVID, and offered flexible solutions that prioritized their already-booked clients. They have been kind and compassionate in a very difficult situation, and we can't thank them enough. We will absolutely be returning to Ed & Aileen for any of our future photography needs!
Ed and Aileen are AMAZING!!!
They both love what they do and their passion is shown in the work they deliver! We had the pleasure of being able to work with both Ed and Aileen. E...
d shot our engagement photos and Aileen shot our wedding. Both of which gave us photos we will cherish for the rest of our lives! Ed met with us prior to our engagement shoot to discuss vision and we instantly felt comfortable and excited to work with him. We had bad luck with weather during our scheduled shoots and he was more than accomodative to reschedule. We met with Aileen prior to the Wedding to discuss our vision and plan for the big day. She was very organized and asked all of the right questions. On the day of the wedding, Aileen and her assistant were on time and ready to go. They worked well with all of the other vendors and helped us stay organized and on time. I don’t know what I would have done without Aileen as she was always thinking three steps ahead :) `They are very talented and know how to get the right candids, poses, angles, and lighting. Ed and Aileen are amazing! We highly recommend them and would use them again if we could to do it all over again!
Ed and Aileen are the best! From day one they are so open and down to earth. We met at a local bar for drinks to go over their details (style, contract, pricing, and just getting t...
o know each other). We knew from that moment, and even before, that they were perfect! My husband and I took our engagement pictures at Montrose Harbor/Beach with Aileen and our mouths nearly hit the floor when we got them back. They were amazing! She made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire time and quickly got us to loosen up and have fun. Our wedding pictures were even more beautiful. Honestly, our only regret was not having them cover the entire day. The pictures captured such raw moments throughout the day and night. Ed and Aileen treat their clients like family and we will be forever grateful to have shared our wedding day with them!
Do yourself a favor and hire Ed & Aileen for EVERYTHING you possibly can. We used them for photography, videography and our photo booth! We were (and still are) completely blown aw...
ay.
Choosing a photographer was one of the most difficult decisions we had throughout the wedding process. As a couple who lives on Instagram, we wanted our pics/video to not only be post-worthy but to capture who we are and allow us to re-live our wedding day forever. And OH MY GOD did they deliver.
Ed, Aileen and their team are beyond talented, professional and fun to work with. They made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, which we thought would be an impossible task. As soon as we got our engagement pics back we knew we made the best decision ever.
We can’t even begin to explain how easy they made our wedding day. They were so organized and made bridal party pics a BLAST. At the end of the night we were so impressed with how much they were on the dance floor with us, yet didn’t feel like they were in the way once.
Our pictures and videos are absolutely DIVINE. We are so obsessed and can’t stop looking at them. We don’t know how they do it but they way they edit pictures makes them stand out from the rest. Every photo in our gallery can be described as epic or dreamy. And we have the best candid shots EVER. We had SO many people reach out to us to say how incredible our pictures turned out. And we could not agree more.
If we have one piece of advice for anyone planning a wedding, it would be INVEST in Ed & Aileen. They are worth every freaking penny!! :)
Where do I begin?... Ed & Aileen are freaking INCREDIBLE!
To start, they are both amazing humans -- so sweet, fun and easy to work with. My husband and I never had a professional ...
shoot taken before, so we were a little nervous before taking our engagement photos. Aileen made it so fun, by the end we forgot there were tons of people staring at us!
My favorite thing about Ed & Aileen Photography is their knack for candid shots. They are all about the fun and just being yourself. This is what sold us on them, the second we saw their photos we knew we HAD to work with them.
Planning anything with them was super simple and easy. No waiting around for days or weeks at a time to get a response. They were by far our favorite vendors. So much so that 2 of my friends are using them for their weddings next year!
USE ED & AILEEN PHOTOGRAPHY, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! They are modern day photography super heros!
We love you guys!! Thank you so much for capturing our big day. We are so incredibly grateful to have these amazing photos and videos to look back on for the rest of our lives <3
Ed and Aileen are PHENOMENAL. We love our wedding pictures so so much and they were so great to work with! They very much put us at ease so that we could feel comfortable with them...
throughout our engagement session and wedding. They have a fantastic eye for the perfect shot, and they were able to capture some incredible candid moments during our ceremony and reception! We highly, highly recommend them!
Aileen shot both our engagement photos and wedding and we couldn't be happier with our decision to hire her. Not only is she easy to work with, but she made us feel perfectly comf...
ortable from the start. The quality of the photos are excellent and perfectly capture our emotions throughout the day (she even caught a teardrop in midair!). Our photos have a very pure, authentic feel to them that you just don't get with every photographer. Aileen was also extremely helpful in forming and managing our wedding timeline as well as providing guidance on photo locations. We couldn't recommend her enough!
Ed and Aileen do an incredible job of creating the moment. They are extremely professional and they showed me that they had a knack for capturing moments that were truly special an...
d unique. For example, they told all my groomsman to do some weird shit to me, and it ended up turning into all of them picking me up and lifting me into the air. The joy they captured in those pics will something I'll never forget, and I'm not sure how they made it happen. They also do a great job of keeping people on task and in line. It's not easy with all the moving pieces, but Aileen was so good at keeping everyone focused so we could . move on and keep the pics flowing. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Your wedding day is a few hours, but your wedding photos are forever. This was our logic when we began the hunt for our wedding photographer, and that’s when we stumbled upon Ed & ...
Aileen. We got lucky that Ed was available to shoot our two day affair, plus Jamie came along for day two. Ed was easy to get along with, but also professional & courteous—even our bridal party noticed how kind and efficient Ed and Jamie were at rallying the party. We had a blast shooting our engagement photos with him. He also made himself available for a call days before our wedding when we needed to come up with a rain plan. Thankfully we did not need it, but it brought us a sense of peace to have a backup. We recently got our sneak peak post wedding and it was a blast reliving the day/emotions in each photo. We LOVE every photos and can’t wait for the rest! 11/10 would highly recommend!
We had Aileen and her associate Liz for our wedding day, and Aileen for our engagement pics. We could not be happier with how they turned out! Aileen has a very relaxed personalit...
y, and still manages to be incredibly detail-oriented and organized which we super appreciated! Especially for my now husband, since taking pictures is not his favorite thing. For our wedding day, it was really important to us to have genuine, candid moments captured and avoid cheesy, posed pictures. THEY HIT THE NAIL ON HEAD!! We were SO pleased to see the emotions they captured and have them edited so BEAUTIFULLY without looking over-edited or vain! Overall, we spent a large chunk of our budget on our photographer and would recommend any couple to do the same. Talented photographers have a way of making the less expensive aspects of the day look luxurious! Ed & Aileen are exceptional, and from our experience we would say their talent overflows onto their associates as well! We cannot say enough about how much it means to have SO MANY amazing photos to remember our wedding from. If you are still deciding between two or three photographers, take this as a sign to go with the E&A team!
Ed and Aileen have been incredible from start to finish. We were looking for vendors who would make our day feel warm and relaxed and they absolutely did, while still managing to k...
eep everyone and everything moving on schedule. I was a total dunce about everything and they kindly answered every one of my questions. I love that they include engagement shoots in their wedding packages because it was a really wonderful way to get to know them and get more comfortable with the camera. And let's talk about the photos. Holy cow. I swipe through all of them several times a day and they make me smile and occasionally cry every time. All of the photos look so natural and I feel like they really captured who we are.They are truly stunning. Photography was one of our highest priorities for our wedding because it's one of the pieces you get to keep forever! I feel so lucky to have worked with them and to have these incredible photos.
You know how most folks say "I want to look like myself, but better" when it comes to their wedding look? Ed & Aileen capture that in photo form. Their team is also a joy to work w...
ith! We primarily worked with Ed throughout our engagement shoot and at our wedding, and he was so professional and really put us at ease so we could relax and be ourselves. He also has a great sense of humor and was a lot of fun to work with!
The day of our wedding, Ed kept everything running smoothly and ahead of schedule. We were able to get some amazing shots on the LaSalle Street bridge right before it started pouring. I don't know which weather app he uses, but we were able to dodge the rain perfectly and still get some amazing pictures. He came up with a Plan B seemingly on the spot! Also, pictures can notoriously take a long time, and he and his team did an incredible job getting ahead of schedule (with rain, too!).
Not only will you end up with beautiful documentary-style photos of your wedding/engagement shoot, but you will also feel like YOURSELF. Some of our favorite pictures were unexpected ones of us just being ourselves.
Ed & Aileen deliver beautiful photos. But they capture the real heart of the event, too, and it takes a real artist to do that. Cannot recommend more highly!
Absolutely Amazing. Ed & Aileen not only take amazing photos that capture true happiness but we’re beyond helpful throughout the entire wedding process. They made the day so easy &...
fun. They are true professionals in their art of photography and incredibly personable individuals that we feel lucky to have met.
Ed and his team were the best hire of our wedding. They were super helpful with putting together our day of timeline and were super quick with group photos on a chilly day. We were...
happy to have them as our photographer!
You will not regret hiring this amazing team!! We used Ed and Aileen for our wedding on 7/23/17 and this review is long overdue. Ed and Aileen- you are the absolute best!! Besides ...
your obviously amazing photos, you are professional, caring, thorough, thoughtful, experienced, nuanced, intuitive, patient, flexible... You know how to anticipate potential issues and organize people to get the very best results. We are SO grateful that you were willing to photograph our wedding last July and will be enjoying your pictures for the rest of our lives together!
Both Ed and Aileen were at our wedding and thank god we hired them. Unfortunately the day of our wedding had poor weather and was raining throughout the day. Ed and Aileen however ...
did not let this stop them and still moved forward with our first look shots. They advised us to purchase clear umbrellas ahead of time which we did and we will were able to have a first look and outdoor ceremony shots. Ed and Aileen do not let any time go to waste and their professionalism is really what saved the day. From helping groomsmen put on their boutineers to taking outdoor shots in the rain they pulled it off without any hesitations. We cant thank them enough and cant wait for the final photos to post them up on this review. Maybe a couple sneak peeks if you could =P
Very professional and ed and aileen do beautiful work. I am very happy that we found this amazing couple to photograph our wedding!
Ed and Aileen are phenomenal, talented people who will document your wedding with professionalism, love and care. My husband and I both feel totally awkward having our photos taken...
. We absolutely hate it. From the moment we first sat down with Ed and Aileen to discuss our wedding plans, we felt so comfortable and at ease with them. They are lovely, personable people who are easy to get along with and pose for. Our first session with them was our engagement shoot, which I was very nervous for. It ended up being a breeze because Ed and Aileen know exactly what to do to make you feel comfortable and to get beautiful shots. On the day of our wedding, Aileen was so sweet with me leading up to the ceremony. They obviously love what they do, and their passion is reflected not only in the amazing photos that they take, but the care that they give their clients. Just stop looking for a photographer and hire Ed and Aileen. It will be the best choice you made regarding your wedding.
I'm still sobbing over how AMAZING all of our photos are. Ed & Aileen are a husband and wife team out of Chicago, who actually found ME on Reddit, and made me an offer I couldn't r...
efuse. I took a chance on them and it was the best decision ever made for our wedding. They took our engagement photos as well when they were out this way for another wedding, so we had got to know them a bit prior to the big day.
I didn't really have any specific shot requests (minus wanting some detail shots of things I made) because I wanted them to just do their thing. They captured every important moment, plus ones I could have never even dreamed of. I found myself wondering how they managed to get certain photos, like many of our guests mid-laugh and having the time of their lives, since I know they couldn't be everywhere at all times. Their talent goes unrivaled and it's clear they have an absolute passion for capturing couples and their guests on one of the best days of their lives.
I will never hire anyone else for photos (maternity, newborn, you name it) but Ed & Aileen again. Incredible, creative work.
Ed and Aileen should be your number 1 choice for photographers. They were absolutely wonderful to work with. They were very professional, but also so down to earth and it just made...
the wedding pictures so much fun. They knew how to improvise and work with different lighting due to the rain, were totally fine getting soaked with us, and honestly the pictures we’ve received are unreal. They were snapping pictures all night, but never felt in the way by any means. Most importantly, they worked with us and communicated to make sure they got all the shots we wanted. They sent the sneak peek less than a week after the wedding and the pictures are phenomenal. We’ll update our review when we receive all the pictures, but could not imagine giving them anything less than 100 stars. Just book them!
What can I say about Ed and Aileen. They were such a dream to work with and a no brainer choice when picking our wedding photographers!!!
The photography was one of the most impor...
tant choices to my husband and myself when it came to wedding planning. We wanted amazing photos to be able to relive our wedding day. Ed and Aileen did just that. Not only are they down to earth, they capture the most authentic moments from throughout the day. Everyone raves about how beautiful our photos are from our wedding day! We cant thank Ed and Aileen enough!!
Ed & Aileen are a power photography couple. My fiancé and I have used their incredible talent for multiple photography shoots. Whether for an engagement session or our annual Chris...
tmas cards, Ed & Aileen make us feel comfortable in front of their cameras, capture some very unique and touching moments, and always deliver beautiful work.
My husband and I used Ed and Aileen Photography for our wedding on August 5th. They have done three of my bridesmaid's weddings so it was a no-brainer to hire them for ours. They...
take absolutely amazing pictures and are the nicest, most down to earth couple. I love that they capture so many candid moments but also take some of the traditional shots as well. I wanted a photographer that was going to show the love between my husband and I but also focus on our guests. Aileen did that and so much more (plus she dealt with my crazy, huge family)! They are truly talented at what they do. I highly recommend Ed and Aileen!
Ed & Aileen we love you!!! We can not be any happier with our choice of having Ed & Aileen as our wedding photographers. From the moment we first contacted them to the moment we re...
ceived our pictures, everything was just easy with them. We felt like we have been friends for years which made us (a camera shy couple) feel so comfortable with them and confident when taking the pictures. People have not stopped raving about our engagement pictures and our wedding pictures still! Their ability to capture the genuine moment in such a talented and artistic way is truly impressive. They really cared about making sure that we got the pictures we wanted and didn't look at our wedding as just "another wedding". They are so knowledgeable with the different areas around the city and suburbs so don't worry if you don't know where you want to take pictures, we put all of our trust in them the day of wedding to take us to locations they thought would be perfect and they nailed it! Book them now, I promise it will be one of the best decisions you make during the wedding planning process!
Our decision to have a destination wedding was quick and easy. We knew we'd return to The Majestic Mirage in Punta Cana and February seemed like the perfect month to escape Chicag...
o's brutal temperatures. I'm embarrassed to say it, but I had the wedding planned in about 10 days with the exception of a few details.
I agonized over our photography options for months. The resort gave us a list of three photographers. All very talented, but not the style I envisioned for our wedding day. With the help of Instagram hashtags I discovered dozens of photographers and sent out even more inquiries of availability, both in Chicago and Punta Cana. When I stumbled upon Ed and Aileen's Instagram feed, I knew I'd found what I wanted.
"Do people even do that?" Luis' response when I told him I wanted to bring our own photographers to our destination wedding. I wasn't sure, but after our first meeting with Ed, Luis was sold and we bought their plane tickets that night.
During the planning process, Ed and Aileen were super quick to respond to all e-mails and questions. We scheduled an engagement session here in Chicago. Ed and Aileen made us laugh instantly and I relaxed immediately. We had a blast walking around, laughing, getting to know one
About a month before the trip we all got together for a beer. Aileen created a detailed itinerary down to the minute to ensure a stress free wedding day and gave us helpful tips for beautiful pictures. They even reached out to our videographers to swap stories and establish a relationship.
It was important to me that Ed and Aileen have
Day of information: Ed and Aileen are a Godsend as they work flawlessly as a team, communicating via walkie talkies to avoid an accidental bride/groom run-in. After putting on my dress, Aileen came up with the brilliant idea to do a first look with my dad. Completely unexpected, but a moment I will never forget.
After the ceremony, they directed family portraits quickly and efficiently. No standing around smiling for hours, we were done in 30 minutes--thank you Aileen! Earlier in the weekend they scouted out the best locations for our newlywed portraits and from the few photos I've seen (attached), no one else would have created such perfect images. I swear their minds see differently. Its amazing. These two are incredible. They partied with us all night long and I'm so glad they did! Ed and Aileen are awesome people to be around, I thoroughly enjoyed their presence over the weekend and I know our guests did too!
Two days later, I put on my wedding dress again and we slipped into the ocean at sunrise for a "trash the dress session." THERE ARE NO WORDS to describe how Ed and Aileen can take 45 minutes and capture the most stunning photos I've ever seen. The way they capture the light, they're bold and daring and I LOVE IT! So blessed to have had them.
Words cannot express how grateful we are to these two for spending their time to capture our day. They were our wedding coordinators, sanity keepers, photographers and the best decision I made for our wedding! I don't know how they could get any better, but they're constantly seeking out mentors and opportunities to grow which says a lot about their character and desire to develop as photographers. I can't wait to see what happens for these two in the future. Glad I got the opportunity to work with them!
We love you Ed and Aileen
Where do I begin to describe the awesome-ness that is Ed & Aileen... If I could give them 6 stars, I would, and most likely then some! They are a fantastic husband & wife duo th...
at honestly (key word) to get to know us multiple times throughout the wedding planning process. From our first meeting over beers to talk about our vision and what we really wanted over the day to our final meeting to discuss locations, they were there throughout the entire process.
On the day of the wedding, they were absolutely fantastic. They helped us navigate the multiple places we wanted photos and made sure we took photos that weren't like everyone elses. Our family and friends are raving about the photos that they've seen thus far and how they not only captured us, but also the beautiful city of Chicago.
They were also incredibly flexible to work with. We weren't keen on the idea of engagement photos, so they were kind enough to exchange it for an extra hour of photography, which was key given that we had wedding festivities going on from 9 a.m. - 12 a.m.!
Seriously, I cannot recommend them enough.
Ed & Aileen were AMAZING. I can't even tell you how much of a great duo of photographers you are getting when you go with them. They truly have that eye for wedding photos and kn...
ow just how to capture your big day. They feel like friends you've known forever and fit right in with your bridal party. And the results from their shooting, is beautiful. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking to capture their big day.
