Jeff and Karin were absolutely stellar! The whole planning process was so much fun; Jeff took so much time getting to know us, helped us daydream about our perfect day, and put a plan in action to make it happen! They helped us stay ON SCHEDULE and were a joy to work with. There are t enough words to sing their praises enough!!
My husband and I met Jeff and Karin and Hailey at the wedding expo in Rosemont. There were so many vendors there all trying to get your attention with their flashy booths and gimmicks trying to pull you in. When we came across EV Photography, we were actually asked what was important to US. What WE wanted out of a photographer and what we DIDN’T want. We had already looked into some of the bigger, popular photography groups that are highly publicized everywhere, but after meeting with a few of those companies, we felt like just “another client”. In that initial conversation, we knew that EV was different. We connected very soon after and met with Jeff to discuss what we wanted. We were blown away by his sincerity, passion, and knowledge. He really saw us as people, individuals; not just “another job”. We met with Jeff a few other times prior to our wedding and we truly feel like he could be our friend. He’s kind, funny, and understanding of each couple and what makes them great as individuals and as a couple. He was amazingly organized and thorough in his approach to our vision and did an AMAZING job. EV Photography puts all of the special touches into their work and kind gestures towards their clients. There is NO OTHER PHOTOGRAPHER LIKE THEM! It was worth every penny that we spent and it truly felt like having a trusted friend shoot our day versus some nameless photographer from a big company that you meet the day of your wedding. We cannot recommend them enough!
Karin did an amazing job. We couldn't be happier with our photos.
We absolutely loved working with EV Photography for our engagement photos and wedding! Jeff is truly a delight to work with and made everything so easy for us along the way. He took our vision for engagement photos to the next level and they could not have turned out better. On our wedding day, it rained during our time window for outdoor photos and there were limited indoor photo spots at our venue. Despite all of this, Jeff and Karin worked their magic and we ended up with the most beautiful photos that we will cherish forever. Our family and friends in our bridal party had nothing but good things to say about how the photos went the day of and they were amazed once they saw how they turned out.
Hire EV Photography, they are the best!!!
Booking EV Photography for our wedding was the best decision we made in the entire planning process for many reasons. Starting with the professionalism of Karin in our booking, she made sure we felt like the priority and that she understood our vision. (So much so that we stopped looking for a photographer after our first conversation with her.) We got partnered with Jeff as our head photographer, and it was the perfect match. Jeff took the most beautiful photos we have ever seen, and every time we see him it's like hanging out with an old friend that we have known for years. Our vision for our engagement photos and our wedding photos just came to life, and the quality can't be beat. The photo booth they provided at our wedding was an absolute hit, and every product we have received from EV Photography has been frame-worthy. If we were to do this process over again, we would choose EV Photography every single time.
Karin and Jeff did such a great job making our big day be well documented and very special. They were easy to work with, professional and very accommodating. They listened to what we said and took the time to understand exactly what we wanted for our pictures. The photobooth was a hit as well. I don’t think there was a single guest that didn’t get their picture taken with it. I would absolutely recommend them for all of your wedding photography needs
I cannot recommend Karin and her team enough. From the very first conversation, everything was so personal. She genuinely wanted to get to know us as a couple and even those who were important in our lives. Day of, because we had built such a strong relationship, my husband and I felt so natural being shot by her and her team. We laughed the whole day and that joy is reflected in every picture we’ve gotten back. I wanted a photographer who was going to capture the energy and the emotion of the day and we got that and then some. Instead of just receiving an album at the end, we had a special photo reveal with Karin and it was so emotional and exciting. That extra touch was worth everything. I would choose EV again and again and have already recommended them to couples we know get married in the future!
We booked EV Photography for our August wedding and we loved our experience. Leading up to the wedding, EV Photography was very responsive and communicative. The engagement photos look wonderful and we can’t wait to see our wedding photos. On the wedding day, Karin kept us on track and on time, going through our shot list. Our bridal party and guests commented on both Karin and Matt’s fantastic personalities so that was awesome too! Thank you so much!
EV Photography provided first class service from start to finish. Karin and her team created a space for us to share our wedding vision and really brought it to life. Jeff was our lead photographer and we really couldn’t have asked for anyone better to capture our entire day. From the start, Jeff was easy going and took to heart our requests. He made our special day extra special by capturing many tender moments with our two flower dogs! The photography and videography EV Photography captured gives us the chance to relive that special day over and over. ❤️
We absolutely loved working with Jeff and Karin throughout the wedding process. Our engagement and wedding photos look amazing and we couldn't ask for anything better. They made us feel so comfortable and really told the story of our wedding day!
To really paint the picture on how extravagant EV Photography is, I planned my entire wedding myself and the only time I really got emotional and teary eyed while envisioning my big day was during my first meeting with Karin. She vividly painted the picture on the special moments she was going to capture and she delivered them! I felt very comfortable with her the entire time and she really did a great job on catching the shots we talked about, as well as, creating some beautiful and artistic shots of her own! On the wedding day she played an even bigger role than my photographer, she kept me moving along during the time crunch, kept me calm when my mom started freaking out, and even helped me get into my dress. Very thankful for Karin and her team, I know have timeless photos to look back on for generations!
EV Photography Chicago was so great to work with. We didn't know what to expect (or ask!) going into the process of photography but any expectation we had was blown away. Karin and her team really get to know you as a couple through several exploratory calls/meetings. I never felt pressured when choosing our package and we had a lot of options to really customize what was important to us. They helped take the lead on coordinating our timeline and day-of details, working closely with our other vendors. Our wedding day was perfect (in a lot of ways) but the photographers were hands down on point and professional. One of our favorite moments was that 2 months later we got to sit down with our photographer for a premier party where we sipped champagne and were shown our photos (several already pre-printed and waiting for us to take home) and make a few more print options. It was a really special moment that we were not expecting. We have a few newly engaged friends that we'll definitely point in their direction, you're in great hands with EV Photography!
PHE.NOM.EN.AL.
Karin and her team blew us away, the amount of care she took to get to know us, and what's important to us, made our big day so easy.
I can't recommend them enough, truly, and the kindness as well as patience they showed just helped set the tone to keep this bride as calm and collected a possible. I honestly couldn't be happier with how our photos turned out, they truly captured the day and us to PERFECTION. 💕
Working with EVPhotography was one of the best vendor choices we made! From the very first meeting, it was clear the entire team understood our vision for our wedding. It was such a joy to work with Karin, Nicole and Jeff. Two days prior to our wedding, our videographer from a different vendor canceled on us. As soon as EVPhotography found out about this, Jeff stepped in to help us find a videographer last minute. Turns out their videographer was available. This company took what was a very stressful moment and solved the problem! We could not be happier with how our photos and video turned out! Through all the planing, their guidance helped to make for a stress free day! THANK YOU EVP TEAM!
We absolutely loved the team at EV! Both of our photographers were so much fun at professional at the same time. We were blown away at the pictures and are so glad we decided to have them capture our day!
We absolutely loved EV photography and they did an amazing job with our wedding! We wanted photos that looked natural, real, and bright and they delivered! We used them for our engagement photos and they were all in on our idea to do a pizza parlor photo shoot, which turned out amazing. Jeff was the perfect photographer for us. We are both golfers and wanted to take some pictures golfing on our wedding day. Jeff is also a golfer and knew exactly what to do and they turned out so perfect. Nichole was also awesome and did well photographing all the groomsmen. Both photographers were organized and kept the day relaxed. We just got our photos back and they are so beautiful! The premier party that Ev Photography does is so nice because you get to see your photos in print when you see them for the first time. Karin and Jeff also walked us through a template for our album that night which was so helpful because we would not have had time to design and plan the album ourselves. We highly recommend EV photography!
We are overjoyed with our wedding photos from EV Photography! They perfectly captured all the emotions throughout the day and were so wonderful to work with. They made us feel so special and our photos are truly beautiful.
Karin and the EV photography team are true professionals at what they do. I loved EV Photography’s portfolio because of the photo journalism style and how their photos really captured the true emotions of the day. Karin takes the time to really get to know you as a couple. After your 1:1 phone consult - Karin had us come to her studio to see examples of printed wedding albums and canvas prints of her work along with an excellent presentation on the various packages she offers. She helped us customize a photo package that fit our budget without us feeling like we were missing out on anything. For our engagement photos Karin created a fantastic story board of ideas of outfits, accessories, poses and locations of where we were going to shoot. Karin and Bridget brought waters and bug spray so we weren’t getting eaten alive by bugs during our engagement session. We had an absolutely blast! Karin then scheduled a call for us to walk through our wedding timeline. I loved having a schedule to stick to that way we didn’t miss any of the important shots we wanted. A week after our wedding we got a preview shot of some of our pictures and I cannot wait to see the rest! Karin was able to help us navigate the rain on our wedding day too! I can’t wait for our premier night in a couple weeks to see our photos! If you want gorgeous photos capturing your real emotions with a true professional — invest in EV photography. I cannot thank Karin, Jeff and Bridget enough for making the wedding photography process fun and professional! Book them now!!
Karin is an absolute dream! From our initial meeting to our album design session, we felt supported and heard by EVP staff and Karin in particular. She made sure to get to know us on a deeper level and put our needs for our wedding before everything else. And when we had to reschedule our big day because of COVID, Karin made the transition seamless and was incredibly understanding. We loved having Karin and Hannah at our big day and can’t thank them enough for all of their incredible hard work! We’ve received nothing but the biggest compliments for our photos and that’s all thanks to Karin and Hannah!
Could not have asked for a better team on our wedding day! They were more than just photographers- they were like our coordinator, support, and now friends!! The whole team at EVP is so thoughtful from day one. We received so many fun treats, amazing advice, and they really care to make your day special! Thanks to Jeff and Nicole- our wedding day photos are breathtaking! We cannot stop looking at them and have received so many compliments! I would truly recommend them to anyone.
Jeff Myers was the lead photographer for both our engagement shoot and our wedding in August. Both my husband and I can be awkward with having photos taken, and Jeff did an amazing job of putting us at ease. Jeff captured the natural beauty of our wedding venue, and the photos he took matched the overall whimsical aesthetic of our day. He also did a phenomenal job of capturing all the emotional moments throughout our day. NONE of our pictures looked staged or fake. Throughout our planning process (we had to postpone due to the pandemic) he continued to stay in touch and worked to ensure he was available to shoot our wedding on the rescheduled date. Everyone that we worked with at EV was friendly, flexible, and quick to respond throughout our entire planning process. After the wedding, Karin worked with us to schedule our reveal date. This was such a special experience for both my husband and I, and we turned it into a date night! She hosted us at her studio and we were able to see our photos for the first time in print. She had champagne for us, and walked us through our wedding album and the entire folio of pictures from our wedding day. Overall, I cannot say enough good things about Jeff and the entire EV team. They took the time to know and understand Bill and I as a couple, and what makes us tick. They were then able to translate that into our photos which not only represented our day, but who we are. Thank you for capturing all our special moments! We will cherish them forever.
We absolutely loved working with Karin and EV photography! They were so helpful in creating our vision and ensured to capture all photos that we wanted. The photos truly display our personalities and included the candid photos that we want. The colors are so crisp and stunning. We absolutely loved our reveal party as well! It made it much more special. Thank you Karin for everything!!
I can’t recommend working with EV Photography highly enough!!! Everyone we worked with were professional, fun, and genuinely excited about our big day! My husband and I appreciated how serious EV Photography was about the booking process and that their focus is on capturing timeless memories.
Danielle was our primary photographer for the day and I honestly just can’t say enough good things about her! My husband and I always enjoyed our conversations with Danielle when we called, and she was so responsive and helpful answering our questions leading up to the day. Honestly, it felt like we were celebrating with her, and the second photographer Nicole, which considering we had a small wedding (25-30 people) was amazing! Nicole was also wonderful and was able to get all the groomsmen moments captured, while keeping them on schedule. My husband and his groomsmen enjoyed working with her.
The images captured are absolutely stunning 😍 and my husband and I can’t wait to be able to share them with family, friends, and colleagues! All of the big memories were photographed and you can actually see all the emotions and moments happening, which was so beautiful to view after about a month or so after the wedding day with Karin! I can’t say enough good things about EV Photography - they’re the best!
We couldn't recommend Karin and her team more! All of the most important moments of our wedding day were captured beautifully and despite the uncharacteristically chilly and rainy weather on that May day, our photos were spectacular! The professionalism and care that Karin and her team put into their work is truly unmatched. We also loved the unique opportunity to have a photo reveal party where we also got to design our wedding album in-person with Karin! Thank you EV Photography!
We would highly recommended EV photography to any couple! Karin and her team are an amazingly talented group of professionals. Not only did they do a flawless job capturing all of our big day's precious moments, but they also made us feel extremely comfortable while doing so. Games were implemented during our bridal portraits to produce candid shots-it was such a unique twist that we were not expecting, and we had so much fun! We could not be happier with our photos and wedding album-every picture was so beautiful and captured the essence of our day perfectly. Thank you so much EV Photography!
We absolutely loved EV photography from start to finish! They always maintained a very professional yet friendly attitude that made every step perfect. They are incredibly organized and prepared to do whatever it takes to make sure that your day goes as you imagined! Ultimately the pictures turned out far better than we ever hoped. They were able to capture every special moment throughout the day.
So incredibly happy with how our photos turned out. They captured the emotion of the day better than I could have imagined and so grateful we have these photos forever. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.
We used EV photography as our wedding photographer. They were easy and fun to work with and offered numerous, creative suggestions for photos. They helped the day flow seamlessly. We are looking forward to viewing our photos and highly recommend them for any event.
From the first time we met with Karin we knew we wanted her to photograph our wedding. And WOW, she did not disappoint! Karin captured the most amazing photos of all of the most important moments of our special day. Throughout the entire planning process the EV team was so wonderful to work with. Karin took the time to get to know us as a couple to make sure our day was perfect. Planning a wedding during COVID brought a lot of changes and uncertainty, but Karin and her team were so flexible and made us feel comfortable and confident about our decision to go through with our wedding; even though it looked much different than originally planned. We absolutely love our photos and will cherish them forever! We would highly recommend EV Photography to anyone looking for STUNNING wedding photos!
We had won a free engagement session with Karin through their Instagram in 2020, and WOW her pictures blew us away!! At the time, we hadn’t decided on our wedding photographer yet. We loved working with her and seeing her work, so we chose to book her/her team for our wedding in 2021!! Great experience so far, and can’t wait to keep it going! :)
EV Photography exceeded all of my expectations for a photographer! Everyone was beyond professional, kind, and involved.
My husband and I loved working with Karin, she got to know both of us and made our photography experience enjoyable, relaxed, and memorable! She captured our wedding so beautifully- every picture hold so much meaning.
I would choose EV Photography again in a heartbeat!
Karin was by far the most amazing professional I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She really takes the time to get to know you as individuals and as a couple, because capturing that essence in a photo is so important to her. Our engagement photoshoot was breathtaking and so much fun. I also did a boudoir photoshoot to give as a gift to my husband (which he loved) and the photos were so classy and gorgeous and she made me so feel so free and comfortable the whole time. We just got our wedding photos back and had a viewing party with champagne toast that Karin hosted for us, which made the whole experience wonderful. Our wedding photos are stunning and we couldn't be more satisfied with the whole experience. Highly recommend!
Wow, where do I even start. From the moment my fiance and I met Karin, we felt a connection with her and so happy she is our photographer! We just finished our engagement photos last month on a perfect fall day in DT Naperville. Karin and the stylist assistant, Kayla worked seamlessly together. My fiance is not a huge fan of taking pictures for more than 5 seconds and he was seriously such a trooper.... all because of Karin and Kayla! They made the process so easy and fun. The pictures also turned out so great! I am having a hard time choosing which one we want to use for our Save the Dates! Finally, Karin is quick to respond with any questions you may have. We are very excited to work with Karin & EV Photography again on our wedding day! Highly recommend!
We had an amazing time during our engagement photo shoot with Karin! Karin is so sweet and made our styled shoot so fun and comfortable for us! Karin also collaborated with Elisabeth & Kayla to create a storyboard based on what we wanted out of our engagement shoot. These three ladies were so helpful with planning the entire shoot leading up to the big day, as well as keeping the exact vibe we were looking for throughout the entire evening! They even played our favorite music to make us feel more comfortable 😄 Thank you Karin - we can't wait to see how our photos turn out!
Karin is so sweet! She has made the process so easy thus far. She is very easy to work with and made us feel comfortable the whole way through. She has outstanding work. Can’t wait for our big day and to see her work!
Karin and Jeff did an amazing job capturing the spirit of our wedding! My husband and I were very choosey about photographers as we are not into the overly dramatic, editorial couple shots like you see on Pinterest and most wedding sites. We're more on the goofy/awkward side, but they made us look so great!!
EV Photography caught all the fun that we, and our guests had! Also, the photobooth was SUCH a hit with the guests! So convenient for guests to be able to text their pics/gifs right to their phones so they can post on social media!
Thank you!!!
It was such an amazing experience working with Karin and Elena from EV Photography Chicago for our special day!! From the start, Karin was super nice and responsive to all of my questions. She worked with our budget, helped me plan out a wedding day schedule, and was so much fun to work with throughout our wedding day! Even though the weather had other plans, Karin still found us other picture spots and kept us on task. She and Elena beautifully captured those raw, genuine moments that truly describe all of the love and fun we had that day!!! She captured my husband crying when he saw me walk down the aisle, my epic father-daughter dance with my dad, candid photos of everyone dancing, pictures of our family and friends, and all of the little details. The photos I received were phenomenal, and every time I look through them I relive that day and all of those incredible feelings. I would definitely recommend EV Photography for your special day/event!
Overall very happy with our experience with EV Photography. We took advantage of a special offer with our engagement photos and loved them so much we hired for our wedding.
The team was super easy to work with and we really didn't have to worry about anything except what to do and where to be. The photos turned out great and would highly recommend.
I can't say enough good things about Karin and her team at EV Photography. Karin did our engagement photos and the biggest reason we went with her for our wedding was because of how perfectly she captures genuine moments in pictures. My husband and I love that we are able to look at our wedding photos and remember the exact conversations, thoughts, or feelings we were having when they were taken. Each wedding is as unique as the couple it is celebrating and Karin and her team make sure that your story is told! We will recommend EV Photography again and again!!
We had a great time on our engagement shoot with Karin! We also opted to do the "styled" engagement shoot so she collaborated with Elisabeth Dari to create an awesome mood board for us! Elisabeth was also there on the day of the shoot to help coordinate where to shoot etc. The whole day was a lot of fun for two people who are not usually crazy about getting their picture taken!
We cannot wait to see how our wedding photos turn out!
We love our wedding photos! The EV photopraphy team really captured my laugh in so many photos and it shows just how happy I was on our special day. I love how romantic our couple photos are and the huge family shots turned out great. They did great capturing our 4 minute run around the room to each table! I love EV photography’s style and the ability to have the rights to our photos makes such a difference!
Karin and EV Photography were wonderful for the whole wedding process. She took our winter engagement photos in the freezing cold & snow, and they turned out absolutely beautiful. Then she was great on the wedding day, and the photos turned out spectacular. I work in weddings, and meet so many photographers on a weekly basis, and we can honestly say this company is the best! You wouldn’t regret booking them for any special photo event, especially weddings.
We have worked with Karin from the very beginning of our wedding planning adventure! She was always quick to respond to any of my questions/concerns, and we ended up with the most beautiful photos. We highly recommend EV Photography!
EV photography was amazing at directing with photos on the day of our vow renewal & reception! Karin absolutely was so easy going while still taking charge of making sure that all our photos we wanted to take were taken and taken beautifully! They turned out phenomenally and we are so lucky we chose EV photography to take our pictures! I have to say one of my favorite parts of the photos is the lighting she did an amazing job and everyone loves these pictures in our family and friends group. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Karin and Stephanie were nothing but fabulous to work with. I got married at Illinois Beach Resort on a day that looked like it might storm. Karin worked so well with us and got some wonderful photos of me, my husband, bridal party, and family. Karin was able to find great places to photograph and Stephanie was able to keep our rowdy groomsmen focused! Karin & Stephanie were patient with us and were a joy to work with. I cannot wait to see the photos they captured!
Karin captured some very beautiful photos during our engagement session. She was easy to work with and was accommodating with rescheduling and allowing our puppy to be a part of the session. She encouraged us to act ourselves and incorporated fun little games to capture some candid moments. Looking forward to working with her again in October!
Karin and Elena were fantastic! We loved having them shoot our wedding! They were both so friendly and creative when it came to taking pictures! Karin was very helpful through the whole process and willing to answer any question I had. On the wedding day, Karin and Elena were so flexible when it came to taking pictures and would take any shot I asked them to. Karin even showed me a few photos on the camera before she left! They were both so quiet and good at what they do that at times we didn't realize they were around taking photos. We have only seen our sneak peek photos but they are amazing and we can't wait to see everything! Thank you Karin and Elena for capturing our wedding day!
EV Photography is remarkable! Karin and Stephanie did an amazing job capturing our special day. Karin was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was focused, professional, and attentive behind the lens! We had so much fun together. Our group shots went very smooth and efficient, as well as our individual shots.
Throughout the course of day Karin continued to bring her enthusiasm in capturing our wedding and what made that day special for us, I know those particular images will be personal and beautiful. We cant wait to see them!!!!
Photography was a big part of the day for us and having the talent and personality of EV Photography entrusted with that responsibility was a dream.
Karin and Marcy were awesome and even though we’ve only gotten a few previews so far, they look amazing!! We are so excited to get the rest!! Karin made things fun but also made sure we stayed on task to get things done on our already tight schedule. When it comes to weddings, EV is the EZ choice!!
Karin and her team did an amazing job on our engagement photos and wedding photos in the city. Karin was so great to work with. She made us feel comfortable even though neither of us are “naturals” when it comes to being photographed. We love how our photos turned out! She captured beautiful lighting and angles! I would definitely recommend EV Photography Chicago!
