Finding the *perfect* photographer was one of our first and most important wedding planning tasks. As my (now) husband is an avid photographer with high standards, we thought it would take a while. At a wedding we went to the year before ours, ...he & I both commented on how professional the photographers were, and that they went relatively unnoticed throughout the entire event despite there being at least four of them. Then, when we eventually saw the proofs from the wedding, they stood well above what we'd been finding in our searches. Those photographers were Gilbert & Nessli Reyes, the incredibly talented and lovely duo behind GReyes Photography. Thankfully, we were able to book them for our own wedding and couldn't possibly have been happier with that decision!
Shortly before our meeting with Gilbert about a week before the wedding, we had just found out that our plan for video had fallen through. In a pinch, we asked Gilbert if they would be able to shoot some occasional video from their cameras just to get something. Knowing how short of notice this was, we assumed he'd have to deny our request, but instead he assured us, without hesitation, that he could do even better - he had the perfect person for the job. And he truly did - our video came out exactly as we had described to him, and we feel so fortunate to have it.
And the photos! Our photos turned out beautifully; they're both classic and artistic, and they perfectly capture the intimacy and overall feel of our wedding. Gilbert & Nessli listened to our likes, dislikes, fears, and desires, and ultimately produced the most incredible set of memories of our special day. I strongly recommend GReyes Photography to absolutely anyone in or around the Chicago area (they'll even travel, I believe!). They were completely amazing in every possible way.
