George Street Photo & Video

ing in, and being able to view/download them that the process of picking out my favorite pictures from our special day has been a painful process. I’d highly recommend the company but they need to invest in a better portal.

details of our wedding. And we ended up with even more photos than we were told we would have! Our lead photographer, Marta Garcia, was very patient with our wedding party and family, and she got all the photos done in a timely manner and with a great attitude, which really helped the day go by smoothly. And she was really fun to work with! Plus, we had help planning and great communication every step of the way, which was a huge stress reliever. We would definitely recommend George Street!

From start to finish we never thought twice about our decision with choosing George Street to do our photos for our wedding. The photographer Adrian was very experienced and did an amazing job capturing the beauty that our special night held. Thank you George Street!

to work with. They listen to all your needs and wants. HIGHLY recommend if you are looking for an unforgettable wedding experience (who isn’t though?) (:

e absolute best! We are so in love with the pictures and video we received and could not recommend George Street enough!!

and a videographer that day of and we felt like royalty ! We received roughly 7,000 pictures they did not miss one beat of the night ! Absolutely loved all their work !

o our lead Kachi, who offered words of kindness throughout the day, assuring us that the crazy was to be expected, and helping us to focus in on each other as we enjoyed the day. You guys went above and beyond the call to make the day special, and the images we've received reflect that. They are so perfect! Would 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a less staged, more genuine photographic experience!

nd timeline is covered. Our photographer John and our associate photographer not only took great photos but were also a pleasure to have around on such a busy day!

d worked quickly to get the "standard" photos taken care of so you can enjoy the day! Photos came back to us quickly after the event and were well edited, too!

and made everything very convenient.

usiasm and I can't stop staring at our framed pictures.

ies quickly to us. I highly recommend using them!!!

nted to remember our day. The videographer, Gigi was so enthusiastic that her positivity was contagious. She wanted to make sure that she got as much footage as she could to ensure we had plenty to use for a highlight reel AND a full length, 2+ hour video of the entire day. It was reassuring that Marta and Gigi had previously worked together and had also shot at our church and reception hall (The Seville). The coordinator was extremely helpful from start to finish and answered our questions thoroughly and in a timely matter. My husband and I felt truly taken care of and were confident the entire day that we would get all the shots we had asked for. Even after the wedding, Nick helped us get our photo album and 2 miniature replica albums (a surprise present for both of our parents) completed. THE ALBUMS ARE GORGEOUS! George Street completely exceeded our expectations and was the most affordable option as well! Thank you Marta, Thais, Gigi and Nick!

ns we could find after researching several other company’s.

capturing special moments throughout the day with our friends and family. And our photos were made available so timely. Definitely recommend George Street!

en suggested going at a later time to get better lighting. I am so relieved with the process so far, I can't wait to see what they are able to do for our special day!

came unavailable due to personal reasons 2 weeks before our wedding, but they were quick to provide us with alternate options so we weren't alarmed. Day-of service was very professional.

Tobias was by far a gem! He got some super amazing shots of us, the wedding party, and of our guests! Then our coordinator Chelsea was very receptive and easy to speak with. She would answer emails in a super timely fashion and if there was something that I just did not understand or need help with she would schedule a time for us to speak on the phone and made sure I understood everything before the conversation was over. All in all I could not be happier with the entire group!

ny questions we had! Many options for photographers and packages available too!

ckages for our wedding. From there, they made planning everything out so easy with their online planning site! It really helped me put together a timeline of my day which was great for the photographer but also helpful for me! We loved our photographer, John Kalad. We are not naturals in front of the camera at all, but he was able to guide us through the photos and help us not look and feel awkward. When it came down to the week of our wedding, I got nervous about the original spot I picked to take photos because there happened to be a parade nearby at the same time we would be out there - John was quick to suggest some great alternatives and we ended up at Olive Park with STUNNING night shots. The turnaround of our photos was insanely quick. We got proof within a couple of weeks and the final photos in a month. I having nothing but wonderful things to say about this company and our photographer. If you want affordable and quality, you can't beat them!

a month before the big day, I emailed the coordinator to request the contact information for our photographer because I wanted to get her opinion on some locations to do pre-ceremony photos. They refused to give us any contact info for the photographer until a week before the wedding. I was sent a list of popular locations in the area that had come from Google, which I had easily found myself. I wanted a professional opinion, but by the time I could get this it would be too late. We do not like most of our photos and our photographers did not listen to us. I had specifically told them how I wanted our first look to go (the traditional way - the groom stands with his back to the bride and then turns around and the photographers capture his reaction), and they told me they would not do it that way, we could only do it their way. This resulted in not having any photos of my husband's face during the first look. They made us turn and look at each other, so the photos only show the sides of our faces. This is NOT what I wanted and this will never happen again so we are extremely unhappy about this. I had also provided the photographers with a list of family members for formal portraits and requested that they announce the names of who they needed for each photo. All of the family was gathered nearby and could hear if they would have announced names. The photographers did not do this. It was such a mess and we wasted so much time. After formal portraits were done, the associate photographer walked up to me, the bride, and handed me the sheet with the list and asked "did we get all of them?". THAT IS YOUR JOB. I should not have to pay attention to each shot you take, you are the professionals. This was ridiculous. After the ceremony we were taken to other locations to do shots with just the groom and myself. These photographers had me going in to wooded areas in my wedding dress, which ended up getting caught in all kinds of foliage. We returned to cocktail hour and my bridesmaids were picking sticks, leaves, and thorns out of the skirt of my dress. The pictures that we got back are all edited horribly. I have no idea what they did, but pictures of the same spot and same people look completely different. There are also pictures of our photographer that the associate took and included in our final group. I do not want to see those. It is so unprofessional that they were taking pictures of each other when we were paying them specifically to be taking pictures of our event. I will always regret hiring George Street for this once in a lifetime event. Please pay the extra money to hire a photographer that will take the time and effort to get you the photos you deserve.

ted, and used their own creativity on the day to capture some magical shots. The only constructive feedback I would give is the responsiveness of the admin team you work with throughout the process (as the photographers are freelance and hired through the George Street group). They would go a week+ to answer emails, and often I’d have to send follow ups before hearing anything back. Also, their online portal needs to be massively upgraded as all the data we submitted was ‘lost’ twice and we basically had to walk the photographer through the entire thing when we mere matched with her. Overall, the photographers were great and we were happy with our choice on the final day, but the admin side could use a bit of polishing.

using their online system to provide our photographer the details of the day. Our photographer was absolutely amazing, and so much fun! We have recommended George Street so many of our friends and family!

wanted, almost all of which were not taken. The few “good” photos we have are very amateur looking and there are very few that we both have our eyes open or are edited in the least bit. It seems like there were so many missed opportunities, shots that seemed very basic were not taken. My grandparents are very old and had a difficult time making it to our wedding and although I asked for photos with them, they were not taken. I have one family photo that is usable and none that are halfway decent of my husband and his family. All in all, I’m not sure why I had two photographers, not sure what was edited, and I am sad at the lack of usable photos I have with my husband and family.

modate our needs. George Street had GREAT customer service and even got our pictures back to us within a month of our wedding! Wow! We were impressed with how much they worked with our budget and how fantastic each picture was! I looked for months and months for a great photographer, and after talking with George Street, we instantly knew they were the right choice! We have received nothing but great compliments on our pictures! Thank you George Street!

I had a lot). The pictures came out lovely! They captured the love and fun of our wedding day! Can’t thank you all enough!

nd packages which detailed exactly what services you would receive. What we did not know at the time of choosing George Street for the photo and video services, was how wonderful our wedding consultant, HJ, would be and how much of a positive impact he would have throughout the entire wedding planning process. He was with us from the time we chose our package and photographer, and is still on top of it all after our big day. When we were planning a wedding, especially out of town, contacting vendors and asking questions can be a daunting process as the questions start to pile up. This was never once an issue working with HJ. We repeatedly emailed questions about the services, timelines, and online planning portal and always had an answer back within a day. He went above and beyond to make sure we had the information we requested to be able to plan our wedding day perfectly. The photographer and videographer we chose (Catalina and Derek, respectively) were extremely professional and prompt. They both set up calls with us in the weeks leading up to the wedding to ensure we all understood the location, timeline, shot list, and any specific requests. When the wedding day came, both were prompt and professional and were able to work fluidly through our schedule (including many formal pictures with 3 sets of families and the wedding party) which helped the whole day go without a problem. Catalina and Derek are so easygoing and were very patient with us. My husband and I did some photos and video at the edge of a wobbly dock on the lake, just to get the sunset and water behind us, and Catalina and Derek patiently waited for me to get situated with trying to walk without falling into the water with heels, layers of dress and the train to the edge of the dock! We cannot say enough about the talented and professional people that George Street paired us up with. We are extremely excited to see the final photographs and video from our big day. If they are anything close to the sneak peak that HJ was able to provide us (we were sent sneak peek photos only a week and half after the wedding!), we are sure to be blown away!

nctual and extremely friendly. It was the best day ever.

ns in order to better understand our vision. And it was so easy to contact them, either via phone call or email with any questions or concerns we had before the big day. Our photographer and Videographer personally reached out to us a few days before the wedding to discuss the final details which really gave us piece of mind! Our pictures turned out amazing! And our wedding video really captured every important detail from our wedding day. They did an outstanding job at a reasonable price. Would HIGHLY recommend George Street.

ing my wedding day plan, wants for my photos and video. I picked Stephanie as my lead photographer and she was WONDERFUL! I seriously loved her, she was so personable and easy to work with. She took amazing pictures. We did engagement and wedding day pictures with Stephanie. Eddie did my video. I didn't get to know him as well since we did have the one on one time during the engagement shoot with him like we did with Stephanie. However, I love our highlight reel and I love our actual wedding video. I know this is something that I will cherish for years. Holly the wedding coordination was so easy to work with, she is responsive when I called or emailed with a question or a need. George Street really is the biggest bang for your buck in my opinion.

he most amazing photos that we will absolutely cherish forever! We are just as pleased with our video as well. The quality and ability to capture our whole day is above and beyond! This will be a video we will watch many times, already have a few times and it brings us right back in that moment. Highly recommend this company!!!

.

and if you get the choice CHOOSE HER! She is kind, patient, efficient and captures beautiful photos. She knows Chicago so well and she captured our special day so perfectly! We couldn't have made a better decision. Thank you to Stephanie and George Street Photo and Video for completing our special day!

last minute the photographer we picked was unresponsive and never replied to our call to discuss the day of. She legit just never answered a text or voicemail which was very unprofessional. However, the good news is George Street had a back up plan! It took a few days due to holiday timing but George Street came through with another photographer who was BEYOND AMAZING. Her name is Tahany and I HIGHLY reco her. Due to the mishap they even credited me for some additional prints!

they turned out! I would highly recommend! Also any question that I had were answered right way. They were very helpful!

positions, grabbed people she needed, told us to go inside if she didn't need us. It was wonderful. She was so quick and efficient about everything. We also got ready in a hotel room which wasn't the biggest, but she worked around the space and took amazing photos! We just got our editor's choice and I cannot wait to see the rest of the photos!!! Highly recommend this company because they take care of everything, are super nice, and do everything you ask of them.

and on the day of the cameraman was fantastic and helpful. We hardly noticed he was there, he did a great job staying out of the photos, and he was more than helpful when I was getting ready (my groomsmen left me alone to change and I needed some help with my cuffs.) I couldn't recommend these guys more!

n. Our photographer was pleasant to deal with and took absolutely spectacular photos more than we hoped for! GREAT JOB GEORGE STREET! 5 STARS from me and my wife!

rfect match. We also have the perfect opportunity to meet out photographer for engagment photos which will allow our photographer to get to know us and our styles. They did all the planning, even gave us suggestions for engagment photo locations. I am so excited and cant wait.

ome pressure off of us on our big day. But overall, wonderful company to work with!

t set on the first photographer, but Carlo sure did not disappoint. The photos he took of us came out absolutely stunning, at times even surreal. Communication was also excellent and the poses he had us do were fun and unique. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend George Street to anyone in need of a wedding photographer.

grapher, he was able to capture so many angles and moments. It was seriously amazing. I would highly recommend George Street- and in fact I already have to other brides! We were so happy with the end result of our video too, we had no edits. Overall, we had such a good experience!

We reviewed our day of plan about a month out with the planning team and told them where we planned to take our photos (local park). It wasn't until we had the final call with our photographer the week of our wedding that she mentioned we'd need a permit. It was too late to apply for one so we had to change around our plans for the day, causing issues for transportation, timing, and the look of our photos. The planning team needs to be more informed about permit requirements and tell couples early on.

wanted planned out before the event (and of course, had lots of suggestions!). During the wedding, the photographer captured all of the moments that we wanted and more. Everything turned out really well, and we couldn't have worked with a better vendor!

photographers and videographer even though George Street is nation wide! Highly recommend!

our wedding pictures to have a perfectly captured day. Working with Sergi was wonderful! HIGHLY recommend.

ocess and made the experience fun, so we were able to relax and really be ourselves. On our wedding day, Sarah fit right in and made everyone feel so comfortable. The photos she took were absolutely gorgeous and we will cherish them forever. Thank you, Sarah!

otos by them!

ately captivated by David's photojournalistic style. I felt extremely comfortable on our wedding day, and Iam typically pretty camera shy. David is a true professional. Would highly recommend.

ming. She would just appear at the right times. Thank you!

questions and help me with everything! She made me feel so comfortable, like a friend was doing my pictures !! Overall a great company! Would definitely recommend 11 out of 10!!!

houghts became negative towards George Street. I stressed for almost a year on my choice. The week of my wedding, I spoke with Shannon the Photographer. She is seriously the sweetest lady. She calmed down my nerves and negative thoughts toward GSP. The day before the wedding rain was in the forecast. I kept in touch with Shannon on a plan B to have photos at the Hotel instead of the actual Venue since it was outside. The day of the wedding we decided to do the photos at the hotel. She came up with a new timeline and sent it to me. She met every single expectation, I had. She was kind, generous and made sure I was comfortable and everyone else was! I got a sneak peak of the photos and I am so happy I went with Shannon and George Street!

edding. She took so many beautiful candid photographs and gave direction to make our pictures look both beautiful and natural. She was wonderful to work with and I would highly recommend her.

n with Jessica, who was an absolute delight to work with. She also did photos for our wedding, along with Sergio. They were both amazing, and the photos came out great. We loved them. With video, due to religious/cultural preferences, we asked for a female videographer. However, we were first assigned a male (I found out by accident actually). At first they didn't budge about changing the videographer, and when they did find a female, they wanted to charge me a travel fee for her. At this point, it wasn't about the money - it was about the principle. As your customer, you should have figured things out on your end without getting me involved. Eventually, they gave in and took care of the travel fee. The day of the wedding - all goes well with video. Kendra was so sweet and managed to catch all the important footage of the evening. However, before the videos went for editing, I made some requests from the editors for things not to include in the highlight video. They've sent it to me twice, not taking into account those requests both times. It's now been 7 months since our wedding, and I still have not gotten that video. I'm pretty tired of waiting at this point, and just hope that someday they'll remember to send the corrected video to me.

edding. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to any bride!

ve, energetic, and funny. We made an album of our favorite moments.

rouble at all being in Florida and setting everything up from here. My photographer was Carlo and he was AMAZING!!! I honestly cannot say enough good things about him. He was professional, courteous, on time, but most importantly he was so accommodating! Every idea that popped into my head for a picture, he ran with. Everyone loved him. He took the most beautiful pictures and never said no to any of my wacky ideas. I am so grateful to them and so happy that I chose them for my big day!!

as Joseph and our photos came out beautiful!! From posed shots to candids, he truly captured the day! George street was quick to get us photos sending us a sneak peek within days and all of our photos within two weeks! Our videographer was also great, and was there for every shot. We can’t wait to see how it turns out!

Once you make your barely educated guess on a photographer you are locked in. A videographer will be given to you at random about a month before the wedding. They'll jokingly ask your opinion on specific shots you would like during the wedding. I say jokingly because they may or may not get the shots you asked for. I wanted a shot of my husband's face when he saw me coming down the aisle. We had TWO photographers and neither of them got that shot. This is only one of the few requests I made that was disregarded. I'm not even sure why we had a second photographer other than to have her photo bomb what would have been decent pictures. I gave specifics on family dynamics that should be avoided, this too was disregarded leading to awkward, avoidable situations. The pictures you do receive will be unedited and untouched up, basic things like cropping out the 2nd photographer. When we raised our concerns we were only given 50 free edits and an album of random pics that they deemed too dark/overexposed, and honestly you can never get the moments back to capture them at that point. We were told that we would be able to review the footage and make edits to the music in the video before it would be finalized. NOPE! One day we received an email saying our package was on the way and a video was shipped to us. The music skips in the video, transitions are awkward, etc. I cant wait to see how the album turns out... AVOID GEORGE STREET AT ALL COSTS!

ding day too. We highly recommend.

cult. I found George Street looking through The Knot and saw that not only were the pictures great quality but also for an affordable price! Most communication was with the wedding coordinator but she was very helpful in answering questions and it was great that they have you fill in all the info for the day of so that a timeline was made up for the photographer. My photographer Konrad knew exactly what he was doing. It was pretty hot out that day but he was so patient in taking our pictures and he captured so many great candids which is what I wanted! Definitely recommended going with George Street!

or the rest of night, I didn't even know he was there. The photos turned out fantastic!

downloading the wonderful wedding pictures.

n had the associate photographer, Arthur, and they had so many good words about him. He was like another groomsmen, from what the groom told me. He got along great with every, took funny pictures. The videographer, was was great too! The best part about him was that he blended in with everyone at the wedding. It wasn't like the typical videographer that has a huge set up all in everyone's business. He was subtle. I can't wait to see the video. They were all amazing!

ky to review the entire process. To be clear, our photographers got a number of memorable photos. However, the process with George Street (the entity) was clumsy, confusing and filled with mistakes. Our coordinator changed on emails (George Street blamed that on an email-merge error on their end), and we were never able to get our coordinator on the phone. It's simply a call bank of random GS employees who type your info into their database. George Street makes you fill out an extensive form to ensure they meet your needs, yet much of that form info was not relayed to the photographer. So we missed out on things like table photos from people who traveled long distances for the wedding. Again, we enjoyed the photographers. I simply wish we could have worked with them independently instead of the awkward, mistake-prone bureaucracy of George Street. The photographers were good but GS was bad, so I'm doing 3 stars to average it out.

has a great eye for creating beautiful photos. For the wedding itself, working with her continued to be a breeze. Honestly, she knew when to insert herself such that we would know to capture key moments but then also knew when to fade back and let us take everything in (without us even noticing that she was continuing to capture everything). As for George Street itself, they were easy to work with and their web portal was professional and easy to use.
