Eivan's Photo & Video

Eivan’s was a dream to work with. Everyone was so nice and helpful. We were looking for a photographer last minute as we had some other things fall through. We were able to get them booked 7 days before our wedding date. Our photographer Kurt was amazing to work with, so fun and down to earth. I cannot wait to see the final images from our special day!

We hired Eivans for photo and video they were very professional and had great communication took all the pictures we wanted and video all are best moments we loved the service we got

Eivan's did a great job on my wedding day! My trailer video and pictures were great. I would recommand for any of your events!

Abe and Jeff did an absolutely amazing job capturing our day! They helped us capture each moment of our day so we can remember forever! Both were so nice and professional and they provided extra advice when I was looking for the most stunning photos to take. Thanks to Abe and Jeff we will always remember the most beautiful day of our lives!

Eivan’s Photographer was absolutely amazing! They were very helpful though the whole process up to our wedding and match is with a great photographer. Our photographer was very experienced, professional, and knew exactly what to do and was very nice with everyone involved. We have a large family and the photographer was very helpful with getting though all the photos we wanted. If you are having an event I would highly recommend going with Eivan’s!

They did an absolutely amazing job in my photos and video of my wedding. Highly recommend them.

The photographers did amazing, they both were super friendly and very laid back, willing to do any photo we wanted. The pictures were amazing! It does take quite a while to receive your pictures, but the wait is well worth it. They did an outstanding job. I was very pleased with this company.

Our wedding was in the middle of the covid pandemic and caused so much stress for my husband and me. After rescheduling the date and the location multiple times we were finally able to get married in April 2021. Rescheduling with Eivan’s was as simple as a form. We had a couple of hiccups with the date change but Sam was able to assist (more than once) and meet our expectations. The wedding went on without a hitch and the photographers and videographers were amazing. I needed guidance on how to pose and what pictures to take and they knew exactly what to do. We even had a drone to get an aerial view of the church and the golf course, which came out amazing in the video. After the big day we were able to get our photos very fast and had them within months, it was amazing. We did however have some bumps in the road when it came to our video and trailer. As one can expect there were delays due to covid and staffing. Our video edits took longer than expected and it did get frustrating when trying to reach out for assistance. However, we spoke with Sam, one of the managers, who was able to resolve our issues and ease our frustrations in the end. Overall the experience may have had some hiccups but Eivan’s was definitely the best choice for our big day.

I had a great experience with the photographer and videographer at my wedding. They were professional and had great mannerisms around my guests. They were able to capture a lot of fun moments and they were very instructive in what kind of … More

I booked a package for a wedding in 2020. Due to the pandemic I changed my wedding plans and now have a credit with Eivans. I attempting to give that to my nephew and they won't even answer my inquiries!

I hired Eivan's on 9/16/2020 for wedding and engagement session. We were allowed to pick our photographer. When I spoke with the sales consultant before I signed the contract. I was asked how soon I could schedule the engagement session, they stated immediately. I went back and forth through email with them for weeks cause the photographer that I wanted was not available for the engagement session (Abby). I specifically wanted a female since some of the photos would be from the bridal party getting ready. Abby was not able due to a "medical emergency" for the engagement session. I was under the impression the wedding would not be an issue for her. We were then assigned Abe for an engagement session. Abe posed us in sexual positions and took photos. This was the most uncomfortable thing I ever went through. After getting the photos back from Eivan’s they included one of the sexual posed imaged. I attached for viewing. I instantly complained to Eivan’s who said they would investigate the situation. Fast forward to 30 days prior to my wedding. I had to call to find out the contact information for my selected photographer. We selected Abby back in September 2020 when we hired Eivan’s. They reassigned me to a male. I spent over 5 hours total on wait lines trying to get ahold of Eivan’s. I left multiple voicemails and emails to reach out to me. Sam, the GM finally called me back and said he would investigate it. I waited 4 days and then tried calling back multiple times to get a hold of Sam. Sam finally called me back and said he had no one else to do the photos other than a male. He told me that I needed to find a friend to do those photos of the bridal party getting ready. I stated that I paid for a photographer to do those for me, not a friend. I reiterated my fear of a male photographer as the last one I was assigned by Eivan’s was sexually harassing. He then told me he was going to come after me if I hired a lawyer. He also stated that if I fight the charges on the credit card, they will charge me a $500 fee for each attempt. After all this on the phone he hung up on me. I am unable to get a live person on the phone at Eivan’s. Be aware you do not want this company! Complaints filed with the BBB already. I am now less than 3 weeks from my wedding and have no photographer and am out thousands for dollars.

Some of the pictures we did get turned out good but most of them were just copies of other pictures we got from them. Our photographer sat down in a chair and did nothing for a majority of the reception. It was raining before the wedding which would have been a great time to take pictures of my family members holding down the tent, cleaning up after the rain and our reactions but instead he sat in the garage and did nothing. I took more pictures than he did and I hardly had my phone. At the end of the night he just left without letting me know that he was leaving, he didn’t tell anyone that he was leaving. There are so many things I could go on about but I’m just going to leave it at this last complaint, when I informed Eivans about my experience they told me “I’ll let my higher ups know”. I didn’t receive any feedback about what was done about it and overall I would not use them again. They are to overpriced to have photographers who sit in a chair most of the night taking the same pictures over and over again while smoking a cigar.

Thank you Eivan’s for providing my fiancé and I with such a professional, affordable, and personal experience! We loved our photographer, George, and videographer videographer, Joshua. George made our engagement and wedding day photos so fun, and he captured our day very well. We just received our photos back and cannot wait to see the video! We didn’t think we could afford both a photographer and videographer, but eivans made it possible to hire both for what we expected just a photographer to cost.

The photographer and videographer did absolutely amazing! We loved how they interacted with us and everyone else throughout the day. They made everything easy and fun. HIGHLY recommended for the Bride and Groom that just want to relax and enjoy their day without the stress or worries of getting their beautiful memories captured. Eivan's has got you covered.

I inquired with Eivan's after getting an email from the knot about a deal they were having. 1. They emailed me 13 times in 2 days! 2. The call I did set up with them was the perfect sales pitch but it was only that. The girl I was talking to asked me to hold for a couple minutes and when she came back she said the exact same sentence she had said before placing me on hold. She was very clearly reading from a script. 3. The prices that are listed on their website are bogus. They say they have packages starting at $999 and packages starting at $1299 when in fact the real price you will pay for even their basic packages is several hundred dollars above this cost. There is nowhere in their emails or on their website that informs their customers that there is "added taxes and fees" so they don't actually offer any packages that are their stated prices. 4. The lady also couldnt give me portfolios to look at for the photographers avalible in our area. She said I would be informed who my photographer would be a month or so before the wedding! Why would anyone book a photographer that they hadn't seen their work?! 5. I emailed the girl back after she followed up to see if I had any questions and let her know my concerns with the process she was requiring we follow. She never responded to that email but I continues to get all of their "personalized" emails from "her". Moral of the story, dishonest company as far as advertising goes. Annoying as far as their sales tactics and impersonal to the extreme. They need a business consultant. I am sure they lose a lot of sales for this experience they provide.

I sent an inquiry to Eivan's after getting an email from the knot regarding a special they were running. We set up a phone call and that went off fine. However, I felt like the consultant was REALLY trying to sell me on their services she kept pitching add-ons that weren't really add-ons (like an engagement session) and then saying this will expire if you don't decide in 72 hours. Which rubbed me the wrong way. Also, they have the number one thing I hate attached to their photography packages which is you pay a seemingly low rate for the photography services but then have to pay astronomically high fees to actually get copies of the photos you take. At the end of the call she said she would send me a summary of the information we discussed and the list of photographers available in the Twin Cities. Instead I got an email stating I had missed my appointment and a link to reschedule. Granted I did tell her the price she quoted me to actually get a package where I got the rights to all of my photos was someone out of our budget so maybe she just crossed me off her list. But that's not very good customer service and ff they can't even keep their consults straight I am definitely not going to pay them $2500 to photograph one of the most important days of my life.

I cannot express enough what a great job that eivans did. We had the photographer (dorin) go through mud to get the best shot. Seriously I cannot express how wonderful they were and how much they worked for us and we're flexible with changes. Best company ever. Also very affordable.

Eivans was the least expensive photo/video package we came across on the knot

For going into my wedding day blind, by not previously meeting either my photographer or videographer I was very impressed by the services we received. Our photographer William was so great! He walked right into the salon in the morning and started to get to work without any hesitation what so ever. I got so many compliments from guests about his professionalism, and could not have asked for a better person to take ideas from just about everyone in the bridal party as calmly as he did. Overall I am very pleased with the service we were provided with!

Mitchell and Galen were our videographer/photography team. I was pretty nervous because they did not know each other and it was our videographers first event with the company. However, I immediately became relaxed after the first time I spoke with our photographer, Galen. We instantly connected while discussing the tone/setting of my wedding. He spent a lot of time truly getting to know our story. The next day, I talked to our videographer, Mitchell. He blew me away when explaining the process (videography was new to me) and going over what the most important moments/aspects were to my us and our families. Our wedding ceremony was very intimate and Galen and Mitchell did everything they could do to make sure they captured those moments. Almost 3 months later and our wedding guests are still talking about how great they were. While taking pictures, we noticed our photographer was wearing an ice pack on his back while he was laying on the floor to get the shot I wanted. After a lot of prodding from a group of women, he finally told us he had hurt his back just days before. Not once did he grimace, complain or hold back on the shots he was getting - for 10 hours. We are so thankful we got this team and for their friendship that day. Our videographer actually handed me a kleenex because he thought I was crying. Couldn't have asked for a better day!

Eivan's made my husband's and I wedding day unbelievably special. The photographer and videographer we're amazing! They were definitely fun to work with! Our pictures and video turned out amazing, and I would choose them again in a heartbeat. I felt comfortable with what they were doing, and trusted them fully. They made my pictures look beautiful. I am speechless with the way they did everything. Also, reaching them is never a problem and if you leave a message they do return your call their customer service is excellent. I will never forget my wedding day and thanks to Eivan's for giving us a wonderful experience. They are fun to work with!!! Whichever photographer you get and videographer you sure won't be disappointed you will be satisfied!!! Thank You Eivan's for everything!!! They gave my husband and I exceptional service!! :)

We booked Eivans last year for our July 9th wedding and couldn't be more pleased with the services that we received. From the initial phone call to finally getting our pictures, they were always professional with our interactions and answering the multiple questions that I had. After we booked with them, they sent us a timeline of when we should be expecting certain things, and I was so excited when we finally got connected with our photographer and videographer a few weeks before the wedding day. I would certainly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality photographer/videographer!

My husband and I were fortunate enough to work with Eivan's Photo & Video Inc. for our special day last month. It was really easy to communicate with Sam and he made sure he was always there if we had any questions or concern. Our wedding package included 10 hours of photography, but we realize a week before the wedding that we needed an additional 2.5 hours. Eivan's made it super easy for us to add the additional hours, hassle-free. Our photographer Marina was a sweetheart! She communicated with us through email a month prior to our wedding day. I loved the fact that she asked us to send any wedding photo ideas that we liked so she can incorporate it into our photoshoot during our wedding day. She was very prompt and easy to work with, which made it easier to get through our hectic 12 hour wedding day. I would recommend Eivan's to anyone out there who's looking for great service along with value and professionalism! Thank you Eivan's for capturing our special day, all 1k of them!

I was hesitant at first since Eivans provided such a good deal. I sent emails, triple checked the contract to make sure there were no strings attached. Again, I was super skeptical. Overall the customer service was phenomenal, the photographer and videographer were excellent. Not only were the photographer and videographer great but they were cool as all get out. I liked their personality and quality of the images. It really did exceed our expectations.

Sam was fantastic!!! He captured all the moments we wanted without being intrusive!!! Eivan's was such as easy company to work with too. Highly recommend!

I did not end up booking with Eivan's, but I had poor customer service which stopped me before I could even reach my consultation in person. I opted for a phone consultation before making the drive to their nearest location and the representative was poor, to say the least. He rushed me off of the phone and with every question I asked he simply told me to look on the website, which for the record I had many times and was where I got my questions from. Again, I cannot speak for their work as I did not book, but their customer service poor.

I did not think this quality of photography / videography existed for this price. Eivan’s blew us away with how professional they were to work with, and the quality of their work is unmatchable. We used Eivans to coordinate a photographer / videographer for our wedding in Austin in June. We got matched with Sandor G and John A. They were fantastic! They were so polite to all of our guests, and got amazing shots. We really feel very blessed that we were able to get these guys at such an AMAZING price! All of my friends could not believe that there was a service out there like this, and when I tell my friends that are getting married they are so thankful. They are so easy to work with too. They always emailed back right away, or were able to answer the phone. They made photography stress free and easy, and even thought of things that I had not. If you are looking for a photographer or videographer for any service you hit the jack pot! I look forward to using them again! Thank you for everything Eivans. ☺

The team at Eivan's was very helpful when we were choosing the photo package we wanted. Never did we feel pressured to add on anything we didn't want. On our wedding day, our photographer, Jeff was a pleasure to work with. He was on time, flexible, and friendly. We have already recommended Eivan's to other friends who are starting to plan their big days!

I called to schedule an over the phone consultation to my surprise when the day came for my consultation I did not receive no phone call at my scheduled time. I waited an hour more with my daughter and her fiancé for the call and still no call. I sent them an email informing them how upset and unprofessional it was and that I was disappointed. I thought that they would read my email and maybe I would get a response back but wasn't expecting it. Monday morning came and I received a phone call from the district manager apologizing and informing me that there was a glitch in the system and if I would allow him to go fix it for me and my daughter. I thought what do I have to lose I can always say no and not sign a contract with them. We went onsite this time for the consultation because I was not taking any chances for another glitch. So we get there and we were greeted very nicely then we were taken to a room for the consultation and to our surprise it was the manager he was going to conduct the consultation. I was happily surprised he again apologize and showed us the packages and because of the glitch we had happen he made sure he took care of it and made the package really sweet. He did not have to add all the extra stuff he did but because he was sorry and wanted to make sure we knew that he valued our business he made sure my daughters wedding package had everything she wanted. He was awesome I would highly recommend them because even if they mess up the accept it and fix it. Love them and will use them again.

I was beyond excited to find this company!! So many services were outside our budget and I was nervous that I would have to sacrifice quality and professionalism but with Eivan's, NOT AT ALL! There multiple package options really allowed for us to customize everything we wanted/needed for our big day! Eivan's was able to match my husband's and I's styles and photo needs to a PERFECT photographer that worked extremely well with my family and bridal party. The quality of our pictures are beyond words and are just simply amazing. I am so happy to have found/used Eivan's services for my wedding and can't wait to have these memories for a lifetime!!

From beginning to end, our experience with Eivan's was first rate. We were looking for wedding photography over the course of our big day and Eivan's delivered. Our sales representative, Dughan, was highly responsive to every question we had, took us through our entire contract in great detail and was attentive to our needs at every step. Our photographers, Artur and Nick and videographer, Max were tremendous. They were professional, yet relaxed and very pleasant, and fit in with our guests extremely well. They took well over 2,000 photos and hours and hours of video! We could not have asked for any better than this team. I highly recommend Eivan's.

All I can say is wow! We hired Eivan's for our wedding day and I have to say it was the absolute best decision and right choice! The price was very fair and the employee who booked us was very flexible and willing to help us out in any way possible. Our photographer, Tom Widmar, was absolutely AMAZING! He was very prompt in responding to emails, he communicated well with me, he was on time and ready, he stayed busy the entire time taking thousands of pictures, he was patient with me when I was overwhelmed, he was kind, and most of all he shot BEAUTIFUL work. I would do business with both Eivan's and Tom as well. Thanks for having such an important part in my special day!

Our Wedding was June 12th 2016 at the Abbey Resort in Fontana, WI. The venue was beautiful, and our photographer, Mike, knew exactly how to capture our perfect day. He had structure, which I appreciated. It was very clear that he knew exactly what to do to get great photos. I felt he, and Brandon (our videographer), were very flexible and professional. Not to mention, they were extremely kind and outgoing. When we received our photo gallery, we were over-the-top excited and happy. Mike truly caught the essense of our big day. My suggestion to you brides and grooms- do not get the lowest package. It was impossible for us to choose only 30 photos- we called for an upgrade right away. Definitely get the package with the rights to all the photos because they do such a wonderful job capturing all the special moments :) When doing my upgade, Sam was also extremely helpful in making sure I could get exactly what I needed. We highly suggest Eivan's!

Eivans did such a wonderful job the day of our wedding on May 28, 2016. The entire staff was polite and respectful and they showed up on time to each location the day of our wedding. I would recommend Eivans to all of my family and friends looking to hire a a photography company.

My husband and I were married on 12/12/15 and we were very grateful to have Eivan's photography and videography capture our special day. We worked with Mike and Shannon and they were a pleasure to work with. They captured moments that I wouldn't have otherwise seen which made me very happy. They were very professional and prompt and worked well with my large bridal party. The price for what you get is amazing and Eivan's was always quick to answer questions throughout the planning process.

So professional and creative! Started a head of schedule and continued throughout the day! Flexible with some new ideas we had. Took tons of pictures and kept things fresh and fun!

The value and the professionalism of the photographers and videographers is incredible. Highly recommend!

Both the photographer and videographer did a great job! The package deal offered was an amazing value!!

I got married September 28, 2013! Not sure why it took me this long to write a review. But here it goes: I love pictures, I think they are one of the most important aspects of any celebration. A picture can take you back in time and allow you to remember that day like it was yesterday. For that reason I was looking for a company that took their job seriously and was affordable. I came across Eivans while searching on this website www.theknot.com and gave it a shot. I saw the price and thought it was too good to be true. We scheduled a consultation and got lucky to have Steve as the consultant and as our photographer. He was awesome, so easy to work with and went along with anything I asked of him. He was so helpful and friendly. He was yes to make sure the day went smoothly. They prices were reasonable, compared to other companies. I felt that we got a lot for our money. The one thing I wish I would had done however was buy the copy rights to the pictures before the wedding. As they become extremely expensive after the wedding. After almost three years I called Evian's to see if the price for the pictures' copy rights had gone down, unfortunately it was the same price. I asked my husband if the pictures were worth it, which to be honest they are, but the price was out of our budget. I called again and asked if something could be done, they were able to bring the price down to something more comfortable. Though ideally it's not what I wanted to pay, I'm thankful they worked with me and lowered the price. I went ahead and bought the copyrights to my pictures and I don't regret it one bit! I do love the pictures and the work that Steve did! I know I will have these memories to cherish for years to come! I recommend Evian's Photography in a heartbeat.

Our photographer and videographer were amazing! very artistic and had great ideas. The customer service is great too, they always emailed back or returned my calls in a timely manner! Cant wait to see my photos and video.

Our photos are beautiful. Will C. & John were great. Thank you guys so much

I've had 2 of my friends use eivans and the photographer Will. We were excited when we found out he was doing our wedding as well

We had a wonderful experience with Will as our photographer and Nancy as our videographer! The day was handled with efficiency and professionalism and Will was wonderful at directing the flow of the pictures and arranging us for pictures. We received the picture proofs this week and we are so pleased with the photos and the fact that we received 2300 pictures! Eivans lets you see the proofs on their website with a watermark and then you can purchase the download rights immediately at an additional cost or wait a couple of months to receive the CD of all the photos (if purchased with your package). We will be waiting, but we are very happy with how they turned out and looking forward to sharing the photos!

We had Will as our photographer... Amazing! He was very thoughtful and was always making sure that we were getting the pictures we would like without overwhelming us. We made sure everything went smoothly. Highly recommend using Eivan's and Will

Loved their work! It was very affordable and I couldn't have asked for a better company to capture the best day of ever ! I would definitely recommend them to anyone getting married !

Read the contract! We were going to go with Eivan's for our photos and video until we read the contract. The experience from the beginning was a bit off. In the initial phone consultation, the girl spoke so fast and it seemed like she just wanted me off the phone to sign the contract. Then they want a $250 deposit before ever seeing the contract, which turned us off. It was refundable, but still, we don't get to read the contract before putting money down? And then when you get the contract, it's only good for 24 hours, so you can't shop around. Then in the contract, it states several times that they are not responsible for lost pictures, or pictures not taken. I'm sorry, but if the photographer erases all of the pictures, then he/she IS responsible. It also states that photographer has priority over the guests for pictures and will do whatever is needed, i.e. push guests out of the way or just not take the picture at all, which of course they are not responsible for. They are also not responsible for taking any pictures which you want them to take. If you need to cancel the event, then you have to pay the full amount of the contract PLUS 50%. Seriously? They claim it's not a penalty, it's for damages. Finally according to the contract, you are not allowed to write any negative reviews. If you do, they will charge you for every day the negative review is posted. It is not enforceable, but you would still have to fight it and this is why you can't find many, if any, negative reviews about their service. What are they hiding if you can't leave a negative review? Buyer beware!

We are throughly disappointed with the Eivan's Nationwide Photo vendor. Composition was not done well with legs cut off or too much foreground. Editing was incorrect with subjects so far away. The photographers were inconsiderate to wedding guest and wedding party alike. when we share our concerns before we had received our pictures, Eivan's held our photos "hostage" until we remove our poor review. BEWARE BRIDES, you will spend $1,200. or more, and the memories of your special day will be sub standard. (they get one star ONLY because a rating is required) Kelly from Colorado Springs, CO

Although we loved our personal photographer and videographer, working with this company was a nightmare. We were going back and forth with them for about 6 months after our wedding because there were missing pictures from our wedding. Some were still never located (some of the most important photos to us) and the few we did receive came back poor quality. When we asked the status of where our photos were, we were told they were "too busy" to find them. We were able to get enough to make our album something we are proud of, but I would not recommend this company to anybody.

Our photographer, Sandor was fantastic! He was energetic yet thoughtful about the poses we shot. My husband is not the best at taking picture, Sandor made him feel comfortable and the pictures turned out beautiful! Thank you so much!

Went through an online registration process to schedule a consultation. Consults were two weeks out, and they no-showed. Literally I'm writing this after waiting 15 mins past my scheduled time that I booked two weeks ago. In the meantime they've also sent me about 20 emails... I'll be spending my money on someone who will show up.

Eivan's Photo & Video provided me and my wife exceptional service. They were very kind and professional and they helped me with accomplishing our desires. The photographers have great knowledge because they took superb engagement photos and our photographer chose our beautiful location. So no worries if you can't think of a place to do your photos! They were also very helpful in what I wanted to do in the reception because I wanted to sing for my wife and they provided me a mic to clip on my jacket and it was heard directly to the video so there was no echo. Overall, the service was stellar and you get a lot for your money so if you want QUALITY, go with Eivan's Photo & Video.

Eivan's was a great company for photo and video. The package that I received was a fantastic price! I was a little upset that my photographer was 3o minutes late to the hotel. The videographer was on time and didn't stop rolling for the majority of the time. I had to remind my wedding coordinator to tell the photographer to take photos during certain times, but it still went well. The photographer was very funny and easy to work with. I would recommend them again!

Every moment I wanted captured was done, even the ones I didn't expect. Both photographer and videographer were wonderful. Publications department are very professional and cooperative.

I couldn't have asked for a better team for my wedding. Will and John were both amazing and had no problem creating any visions I had for pictures. They did all I asked plus more and were so great in carrying out requests made by me or guests. I had several guests rave about how wonderful will was in taking photos from table to table. I was skeptical in pricing from the beginning but after I have no doubt I received the best for my money.

I would recommend Eivans to everyone. They did such a phenomenal job with our video and photos, that I cannot thank them enough. I know, after having our wedding, that one of the most important things that a bride and groom need to look into is their photographer and videographer. That is the only thing, besides your memory, that lasts from that day, until forever. They were able to capture such amazing footage that I did not know was possible. I've never really done any photo shoots or anything, and the way they made us look in these photos were incredible! Some of the shots they took were so amazing, we had about another 5 couples book with them, just based on the two or three photos they saw of us on our wedding day. Not to mention, the prices and their customer service is great. Someone always gets back to me immediately if I call with any questions, and we were shocked that the pricing for photos and videos were not outrageous compared to several other companies. We are so happy we chose them for one of the most important days of our lives. This is truly a great company that I would recommend to anyone!

Last year, my husband, (then fiancé at the time), and I were on the search to find a wedding photographer and videographer. Since we were on a tight budget, we sought out a company that can offer quality photo and video within an affordable price point. After several months of research, we came across Eivan's. We found them through a magazine advertisement on The Knot Chicago for a 10 hour Photo and Video package starting at $1299.00. Knowing this info, we were intrigued and decided to do more research on their work and what they can offer us. At first, we were skeptical with the low cost of the package. Many photographers charge thousands of dollars (I've seen photography pricing range from ($3,000 to 5,000) for photography only! And that's just separate from your additional video expenses!!! So obviously when we learned that they would provide both photo and video for a fraction of their cost, we then decided to check out their portfolio on their website to view their work. On their website, they had sample video highlights from prior weddings (which were shot on location) off their blog page and I'll have to say after viewing a few, they were excellent. It's no wonder they claim to hold the title of being professional storytellers of weddings! Their video reel highlights had professional grade cinematic quality to them. It was almost like watching a Hollywood movie except the stars are you and your husband!!! You even get the chance to add in your own special music to your wedding video so that was an added bonus. Using their downloadable link, you transfer your MP4 music and download it to their web page. Having the ability to add your favorite song to your wedding video really offers that personal touch to signify your special day. We loved their work so much that after looking at a few portfolios, my husband and I immediately booked an appointment with Elaine over in sales to make sure our date was available (which it was ). YaaY!!! Flash forward to 6 months post wedding... As I look back at our wedding album and DVD, I never regret choosing Eivan's. Once you've booked with Eivan's, there are forms they will periodically send you up until your big day. These forms are for you and your spouse to fill out detailing exactly what moments you want documented in order of priority. From there, they build a timeline for you so that every shot from beginning to end gets covered and nothing gets missed. On the week of your wedding, your photographer and videographer contact you over the phone to go over logistics and final details. They go over your ceremony and reception time line one last time to make sure your day runs smoothly and you get the pictures you want. I love that they have all this organized down to a science which tells me that they A.) Know what they're doing, B.) they've done it for a long time, and C.) they make sure that no detail goes missed as long as you specify what you want documented. Customer service was awesome and their customer relations handled any questions I had as quickly and prompt as possible. Sam was a pleasure to work with and the staff were kind and attentive to what my husband and I were looking for when it comes to professional wedding video and photography. Thank you Eivans for helping us create and document wonderful memories we will cherish for years to come.

I was very impressed with their website and the prices are the best around so I tried to hire Eivans for my wedding and found it was too good to be true. The sales tactics are high pressure: they would only send a contract after making a $250 deposit and the contract must be signed within 24hrs. I asked for contract amendments since the contract listed the videography service for $1299 instead of the $999 deal listed on the website. I was told there is a $300 fee that is added to every package. So I asked for the contract to clearly show this fee was added to the $999 package, not a problem. I asked for basic consumer protections added to the contract: a statement of guarantee of turnaround time and the company cancellation and refund polices added to the contract. They were very polite about it, but it is clear that they are looking for people that just sign a contract without looking at the terms. They immediately refunded my deposit and wished me a great day.

The planning for a wedding is so stressful especially as we got closer to our wedding date. The one thing that I was confident and secure in was our photographer and videographer Evians. Everything went so smoothly from beginning to the end. They are very professional and offer competitive prices. We were able to schedule all of are pictures when we were ready we did not have to worry about dates unavailable and all of are pictures turned out great. I was also glad that I decided to get the wedding video because there were so many things I did not see or forgot about because the day goes so fast. Thanks to Evians I have beautiful pictures and a video that will last a lifetime. I have no regrets and refer them to all my friends.

Eivan's photography and video did an amazing job at our wedding! The staff was all very kind and professional. They kept us on track during the day and made sure all of the important moments of our day were captured! I would highly recommend Eivan's.

Our wedding was december 19. We had Will as our photographer and John as our videographer and we could not be more happy! Both of them were the best we could have asked for! They both arrived at the house to take pictures/video of the girls getting ready. They were very respectful of our house and even put up with the craziness of getting ready. At the ceremony they made us feel very comfortable. They were not in our face the whole time, but the pictures came out wonderful! We actually just received the link to view today and we could not have asked for better pictures/video! The reception they made sure to get the dancing as well as everyone who attended. They went table to table to take pictures of everyone. there had to have been 10 different people there taking pictures because they seemed to catch every single shot! They were great! They didn't make us awkwardly re-do any moments or anything like that. They kept our family group pictures moving smoothly, and made sure to catch some great action shots. If you go with Eivans you are definitely getting your money's worth! And be sure to ask for Will and John because they will undoubtedly do an amazing job!! We cannot thank them enough! Thank you guys!!

The package is a great deal and the company is easy to work with at first, but pay attention to your contract. It takes forever to get your pictures and your video. The photographer we had was nice and professional but did not take very creative photos and we were left with a limited selection. Did not get as many photos as I thought we would (very few of the ceremony, no first kiss, and missed key moments I specifically requested). Overall somewhat disappointed in our photos and Eivans did not respond when I questioned the quality. The videographer was great. We have not received our video yet and it has been over 2 months so hopefully worth the wait. I don't think I would use this company again. dissatisfied with our photos.

My photographer was rather green and inexperienced. Despite this she did a good job of working with us and she took some great shots! She was also very friendly and flexible and worked hard to make sure we were taken care of throughout our special day. I was grateful to find a photography company for such a great price!

Eivans was absolutely wonderful. We had a few issues but the Owner Sam promptly took care of our every need. He never let days or even hours pass after I called or emailed with a question or concern he was on top of it. They are truly like family before, during and after the big day. If you are lucky enough to have Bill for photos and John as your videographer you have received a top notch duo, their work is phenomenal. They both made my event less stressful. Overall Eivans is a great conpany to work with and I would recommend them to anyone looking for quality photo and video services not just for a wedding but any special occasion.

I havent received my pictures or video yet because my wedding just past. However, we had our engagement session with them and the pictures turned out amazing. We worked with Steve and he is amazing. I definitely recommend requesting him. He has a good sense of humor and he does an amazing job. The price was great!

When it comes to capturing the most important day of your life...you have to pick a company that YOU can trust and that shows experience and talent. You get that with Eivans. I was truly ecstatic with how great our pictures turned out! not to mention how quickly we got them back from the photographers! The photographers made sure that even with our crazy busy and hectic families that things ran on time and took every suggestion for picture ideas that we wanted! I sincerely thank Eivans for giving us such a great experience from booking to service to picture results! i will definitely be using for other occasion and recommend them to EVERYONE!

I wasn't sure what to expect when I first began hunting for a wedding photographer, but I knew I wanted someone who was professional and an expert in their field. I came across Eivan's on The Knot. I visited the website, did online searches for feedback, and even got lucky with a co-worker's niece using them and highly recommending them. We booked out of the Schaumburg location since it was closest to our venue. Will C. was AMAZING!!! All of guests kept commenting about how fantastic he was. I haven't seen my images yet as it's only been a couple of weeks, but in the few images he shared directly on his camera, I'm confident the best is yet to come. Note: We booked a promo package so the $1,800 was for videography and photography services.

The photographer was very good and he caught every great moment including so many things I didn't catch until looking at the pictures which is so cool. He took 1800 photos! Make sure you buy your pictures on the disk! It sucks its like $600 extra but otherwise you will never actually get your pictures unless your a millionaire, and you don't get your disk for 3 months,again sucky but overall I'm very happy. I've looked at them online 1000 times and I can't wait to get my disk!!

Best bang for your buck! We had 10 hours of photography AND videography (with full rights to raw images + 3 dvd's) all for about $2000. Our photographer, Bill, did an outstanding job and understood my vision to a tee! And our videographer, John, did an excellent job as well. They both captured every moment and every emotion - which is always something you look for in your pictures when remembering your most special day.

I worked with Nancy Stahnke from Eivan's as our wedding videographer. She arrived early, she did great work, and kept great communication before and through the wedding. She asked me if I or my husband had any special requests and also came up with great ideas that we did not think of prior.

I did the $1499 package for all the RAW photos and videography, but after taxes and purchasing the digital edited photos, I probably was closer to $2200 total. I would have liked a more creative photographer, but I knew that I was getting a lot (10 hours of a photographer and videographer) for my money after doing price comparisons. Eivans has some negative reviews out there and it made me skeptical so I did what I thought was best which was to prepare for the best photos possible. I communicated look, feel, and the exact timeline of the day. My photographer was kind but professional. I wish sometimes he would have had me adjust my stance, but we were left with 2400 photos and love so many of them! I recommend them for any couple on a budget who is willing to put in the little effort to communicate well and often. Ensure you track when they are supposed to contact you and know that you may have to travel to their offices to pick up your pictures. It's a hike, but you're not spending $4000 on the photographic artist that would do it all for you.

Very professional patient and on time. Fun to work with also.
