EVOKE Photography & Video

Michael is professional, patient, friendly, positive, and a wonderful photographer to work with! Even though he was a one man team/photographer during our wedding, we felt as if I saw him in every corner as he was able to capture so many significant moments from our big day. He also went above and beyond with little details like checking in on me and my husband, having a kit of essentials just in case this bride needed it, grabbing us boba from our boba bar so we wouldn’t miss out, and much more. His candid shots were our absolute favorites, where he definitely retold our story through his artistry and vision! Michael captured very special memories that we will cherish forever. Thank you, Michael, for all you do!

" Tim was amazing and everything I wanted in a photographer. Thank you for everything. Process was easy and price was comparable. "

Loved Evoke so much, we got a ton of compliments and questions about our photographer (Thomas) and who he worked for. Highly recommend Thomas! Everyone was fantastic.

Michael was above AMAZING! He made me feel so comfortable and he destress me during moments of high anxiety. He was such a gem to work with and I hated that the night was coming to a close, because we had to depart from Michael. I would love to have the greatest opportunity to work with Michael again. I would recommend everyone to him.

Sara did a fantastic job at organizing everyone to get the perfect pictures. Her personality made both of us feel very comfortable. She was also very attentive to our needs.

"Al was very attentive to detail! Thomas was wonderful! Very detail oriented for not only the bride and groom, but also family members and guests. He would make sure everyone was picture perfect! He was very resourceful and creative! We had a fabulous experience working with him and will request him for future photoshoots and projects. Even our family, friends, and guests were impressed by his thoroughness and care to each individual's needs for the pictures. Sue, Al, and Thomas are the ones we have had the delight to work with during our engagement and wedding and it has been a smooth and great journey! They have been super helpful and supportive throughout the journey! We appreciate them and EVOKE!

Both the photographer and videographer did an amazing job the day of the wedding! They were very professional and great working with any changes we had the day of. All of the guests loved how they worked. They did an amazing job the day of the wedding, I would absolutely recommend them again!

Highly recommend Sara she was the best! My wedding pictures are the best , I couldn’t bave asked for a better photographer!

Tim was FANTASTIC! Was the photographer I wanted and so happy we were able to have him for our day. 10/10 will recommend him to future friends getting married. We had Al as our videographer and he was wonderful - great energy, and strived to meet all of the wants on our list. Our video exceeded my expectations. THANK YOU TEAM EVOKE!

& Video Evoke Photography & Video Wedding photographer Hi Everyone. I normally do not post but this time around, I have to share. WEDDING or QUINCEANERA ? I have personal experience with this vendor on both! Evoke Photography is one you really need to take note of. First and foremost, 20 years ago, they were our preferred vendor for our wedding photography! And I must say, they did an amazing job. After our wedding, we unexpectantly needed help with a picture of my brother when he pass- believe me when I say: They were not only accommodating to our needs during a funeral, but at a time when we really were in urgent need for a particular picture they came thru for our family- THANK YOU! You would think after 20 years you would need a photographer again and as we began planning our daughters Quinceañera we happen to stumble on to their booth at the bridal extravaganza! Their prices and services have stayed consistent and let me tell you..... their photographers, are seasoned experienced and very professional- this is from personal experience!!!! Our gathering was this June 2024. Our dress was not ready until 2 weeks before the event- We had the photographer Al, help us with our pre quince pictures and the day of the event, (luck would have it, when I saw him in person; he was the one that took our wedding pictures!) and The photographer; Sarah did great at our Quinceanera - We are really pleased with the album she presented. The parent word would be: Relieved! The teenage slang word would be: ATE. My daughter was so excited as she was going thru the pictures reminiscing and yelling... the new slang teenage language: " Dang, our photographer ATE " - Thank you Evoke Photography! Thank you for not only being committed to recording such momentous family occasions but for being in business for so many years and the best part... your services, professionalism and caliber of product is on point! and YES1 The Knot did help me find this vendor and hire this vendor- 20 YEARS AGO! when I did my research as a bride to be. Thank you!

Al was absolutely a wonderful addition to my wedding day. Al was extremely friendly and helpful throughout the process. Al made everyone feel very comfortable during photos and provided lots of instruction and ideas throughout the portraits at the church. One of the most important things to my husband and I is that our photographer was very respectful and reverent during the Mass as well as to remain "unseen". Al was able to do this for us so that us as well as our guests could participate in the service without feeling like there was paparazzi around. We are extremely happy with the shots that we received and we will recommend Evoke, and Al so highly to all of our family and friends.

" We were extremely happy with EVERYTHING that Al did for us on our wedding day, from the moment that he arrived at the church, to the end of our wedding reception. He brought a wonderfully cheerful attitude and acute professionalism to every photo. Despite working for about 7 consecutive hours, Al always put our wedding guests at ease, and he found a way to get all of the possible shots (and more) that we could have asked for. All of the guests commented on what a joy it was to have Al be our photographer, and his pictures came out beautifully. Not only were we impressed with Al's terrific work, we also felt extremely lucky to have him taking our wedding photographs! We were "Super Happy" with the office staff's conscientious and capable customer service. Sue always replied quickly to my emails, even when she was at the airport on a trip. Sara did a wonderful job on our extended interview on the phone, and we were grateful for her marvelous preparation and care on our behalf. Thank you so much, Sue and Sara!! "

Evoke was amazing!! Thomas was our photographer and he made the day so much fun and stress free. After my wedding all my guest told me how amazing, fun and how much they loved him!! HIGHLY recommend!!

My husband and I want to thank Alex and Sarah for everything, for doing and awesome job and for being on top of things throughout our wedding day. We appreciate it! They were very helpful and so kind to us. We're really happy with our wedding video and photos, and are super excited and looking forward to show our wedding pictures to our friends and family; I'm sure those photos will bring out tears of happiness from this husband and wife in the years to come, and also will be a very sweet and special memory to share at home with our future kids. We are so glad that we selected the Evoke team to be by our side on our big day, they never stressed us out as bride and groom, and were very professional. Thank you so much for your great work!!

Tim made us feel beautiful and handsome. Had the most soft and accepting demeanor and made us feel so comfortable. I, as the bride, was afraid of pictures. But, he made me feel so comfortable and showed moments for us to remember forever. Will have him do all of my photos. Treated us with respect and made us feel so comfortable in front of the Camera. When we asked for certain shots, he made them happen. He blended in with our family so much that we could not tell what was him and what was our family. I’m looking forward to our next adventure so he can take our photos

The photographer’s professionalism was awesome! However, the whole process! From the communication, clear, concise and detailed; was amazing. The payment process was simple! We loved the detail of the process with keeping us informed and open to our wants!

" Michael was fantastic!!! Everyone loved him!!!! "

" Thomas was fantastic! He had so many wonderful suggestions for the day that we did not even think of! His attention to detail was phenomenal before, during and after the event! The EVOKE office staff was very helpful and transparent about services and costs. All of our questions were answered. The preparation work before the event was very thorough so that all the pictures we wanted were anticipated and happened at the wedding. "

WE LOVE TIM AND ALEX!!!! They both did a phenomenal job capturing our love on the very best day of our lives. We cannot wait to see what the pictures look like - given how STUNNING the video was. Y’all are truly amazing! Thank you for everything and all of your hard work! It did NOT go unnoticed!!

Very happy with the service on the day and the product after! Everyone was extremely personable and kept us all calm and happy on what was somewhat of a stressful day. It felt like we already knew everyone even though we had met them for the first time that day!

Alejandro did a great job and was very easy to work with! Everything went smoothly and the staff was great!

Sarah was amazing and I would definitely use evoke again!!!

TIM IS THE BEST!!!! We loved working with him and are so happy with our pictures. Thank you so much!!!!!

Michael is an angel from heaven that descended down to earth. Though I have known Michael for almost 10 years, I have never seen him take my pictures. Michael played the role of an event coordinator, stylist, emotional therapist, and photographer all at once. In fact, my MOH was so impressed she thought Michael was running his own company with the amount of dedication he puts into his work. Michael also worked so well with our 3rd party videographers, he is a rockstar. Will for sure book with Evoke again!

Sara was absolutely amazing! We adore the photos and cannot believe how well this amazing day was captured. Thank you! Sara was so wonderful and professional throughout the whole experience.

Tim was the best! He was super engaging, kind and professional in every sense of the word. We couldn't recommend him enough and are so glad he was our photographer! We had the best night and looking through these photos just brought us back to that day! Thank you so much!

Michael was absolutely perfect. We can’t even imagine not having anyone else to be our photographer. He was so kind and patient and couldn’t have done a better job of making us feel so comfortable. When we talk about the wedding the main thing we bring up is how lucky we were that we got Michael. Communication was great throughout the whole process.

Superb job. 10/10 would recommend Mike to any and all people who are looking for sincere, quality video of their special event. He did a fantastic job, and we enjoyed having it documented. Mike and Sara worked so well together also. It was a breeze doing photo and video simultaneously. Mike is fantastic and worked so well with Sara who also did a phenomenal job. This dynamic duo went above and beyond to create an amazing quality product that my husband and I can enjoy for years to come. Thank you so much, Mike!

Mike (video) and Thomas (photo) were both AMAZING. They created great vibes and made everyone feel super comfortable. Everyone at Evoke was so kind and quick to respond to any questions, ensured there was plenty of planning/communication so I felt good about the day, and working with the crew on our wedding day was so easy and incredible. Our video highlight real was BEAUTIFUL and we have gotten so many compliments on it. Thomas was the BEST photographer and was amazing at guiding us and our guests on how to improve our poses while always making sure things kept moving along. Our guests loved his little tips and he blended perfectly into our party to capture content. Can’t recommend this group enough to capture all your wedding moments!

Thanks Evoke team for capturing our special moment! We love it.

Tim was absolutely amazing!! Super easy to work with and made us feel so comfortable. Our photos turned out amazing!!!

Michael was great! He was there for all the important times and captured the most beautiful photos! Everyone I spoke with was very nice and helpful. Couldn’t be more happy with my wedding day photos!

I loved working with Evoke and with Al and Sara! Evoke has been a dream to work with. Extremely professional and reliable, and the photographer and videographer I worked with on my wedding day were exceptional, and I am so glad I had them with me on that special day. I didn't have to worry about anything because they had it all covered and produced amazing work at the end. I highly recommend Evoke, Al, and Sara.

Sarah was amazing to work on my wedding day! She asked good questions prior to the wedding to ensure all family dynamics ran smoothly. She also was great with directing us all on posing and placements throughout all the photography done. Great energy all around, showed up early to the venue, and was clearly working from start to finish of the wedding. Would definitely recommend!

Michael was an absolute gem! He did such a good job bringing energy and keeping us laughing and excited during all of the photos. Michael was incredibly professional and polite while still being personable and feeling like a friend during the entire time. He was so patient with all of the family and guests at the wedding and was so attentive to all of the pictures we requested. 10/10 would recommend him if you ever book with Evoke!

Alex was a pleasure to work with! He made our big day so memorable. He was very easy to work with and we all appreciated his creative vision for our pictures. Highly recommend him :)

Tim was awesome to work with and was very good with the timeline and all the pictures we wanted to capture.

Timothy was amazing and made us feel so great! He is wonderful to work with.

My wife and I loved working with Sara and Mike!!! They are both extremely nice, very professional and helped ease our nerves. They also brought so much positivity to my wedding. Thank you so much :)

Sara worked so hard all day and I had a huge wedding and knew everyone was going to be all over the place so she really wrangled us all together and made sure everything was on track. I can’t express my gratitude and everyone mentioned how talented and what a hard worker she was. I would recommend her to anyone!

We loved working with Tim. He was more than fantastic!

Thomas was amazing! He went above and beyond to make the day so special and capture wonderful memories! He was truly a delight to work with, and we couldn’t have been happier!

Michael was an absolute delight. His talent and passion for photography shine through in every single shot. From the moment we met, their professionalism and friendly demeanor put us at ease. He carefully listened to our preferences and ideas, infusing their creativity to capture the most breathtaking moments. The final results were beyond our expectations, with each photograph telling a unique and captivating story. His attention to detail, composition, and use of lighting made each image a work of art. We were truly amazed by the way they captured the emotions and essence of the day. The entire experience was seamless. Not only is this photographer exceptionally skilled, but they also have a knack for making everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. They managed to capture the candid moments as well as the posed shots with equal brilliance, leaving us with a diverse collection of memories to cherish for a lifetime. Working with this photographer was an absolute pleasure, and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a true artist to capture their special moments. If you want photographs that speak volumes and reflect the love and joy of the occasion, look no further! Thank you, Michael, for making our memories so beautiful and unforgettable you did it again!!!

We had our engagements done by Al at Evoke and he was so fun and delivered incredible results. It was clear he had a ton of great experience. For our wedding day, we had Sarah. Sarah was incredible! She really went above and beyond and was so fun and helpful all day. She knew our venue well (Shirley Acres) and a couple of times there were some hiccups that she helped deal with even though it was not a photographer's job. She really helped me stay calm and was so delightful. We both loved her and were so happy she was our photographer. The pictures are beautiful and we feel like she captured our day and all of the emotions so well.

Thank you so much Michael for capturing our day!!! We love the photos and can’t thank you enough!

"Thank you so much !! We love them ! Thank you for capturing our day so beautifully. "

Alex was fantastic! Taking wedding photos was easy and fun thanks to his guidance and enthusiasm. Not to mention the pictures came out like a dream.

Sarah did an an amazing job given the hot conditions. "

I’m not exaggerating when I say every person from our wedding we talked to the next day said, “I don’t know who your photographer was, but he was amazing!” Thomas, the photographer, was phenomenal! That is who everyone was talking about. All three of them though, Thomas, Alejandro, and Al did an amazing job! They made it so much fun to work with them and really put everyone at ease to take great pics and videos. Their fun approach to everything was contagious and allowed everyone to just be themselves…and that turned into great pics and videos that look natural, authentic and beautiful at the same time! Well done guys!!

We were assigned Thomas as our photographer, and we wanted to express how absolutely phenomenal he was to work with. We would absolutely love to do more photo shoots with him in the future. He is absolutely outstanding at his job. To start and recap our day, the venue had no power until 6pm. This occurred at Addison Woods Event Venue, and was very chaotic and stressful with communication from the venue lacking until 9am morning of. Then enter Thomas, and he instantly put me at ease. Thomas arrived on site he instantly sat down with me, calmed me down and gave me a pivot plan on how to make all of our beautiful photo dreams come true. He had a plan for how to capture every photo I wanted still, and he did just that. Throughout the day without power Thomas was incredibly calm, supportive, and understanding in a very dynamic and challenging situation yesterday. He captured every moment perfectly (the beautiful, the funny, the sweaty) and I can guarantee with confidence though we haven’t seen our photos yet- I know they will look like the power was on the whole day, and nothing chaotic was even happening. My mom described Thomas as the glue to the bridal and grooms party this morning. We couldn’t agree more. His ability to be calm, give very clear and supportive instruction is something not only Keenan and I will remember, but my family has talked about all day today too. Thomas kept everyone including other vendors on schedule throughout a chaotic day, and gave great direction to everyone involved with the bridal party. We captured every photo we requested yesterday despite the circumstances, and we even got several creative ideas we hadn’t thought of! We are very thrilled to see our photos and Thomas was the brightness in our day yesterday. The day would not have been as wonderful or stress free without him- he went above and beyond his job title. We love EVOKE! 🙂

Thomas with Evoke photographed my wedding, and he also photographed my sister's wedding seven years ago, and HE IS THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER EVER!! He made our day so magical! Jordan and I kept talking about how he made the wedding feel so special and was ALL IN! He is the most well-equipped photographer- from helping Jordan tie his bowtie to helping me when my dress came unbustled. We are grateful!!

Thomas was great!!!! All our guest loved him and our pictures were great!

"Thomas was great and very personable and easy to get along with but also very professional. Was happy to have him as the photographer"
