Mila Craila Photography

Mila took our engagement pictures and they were amazing!! If you’re looking for a wedding and/or engagement pictures, I highly recommend Mila. You will not regret it!

Mila was such a wonderful photographer. It was freezing outside because we got married in December but you’d never know from our photos. They came out beautifully, the poses were perfect, she was so accommodating and helpful. I’d really recommend her. I actually want to hire her for all my photography needs going forward.

I had an amazing experience with Mila when she took our engagement pictures a few years ago. We had a place in mind for photo shoot but didn’t have many ideas. I was so impressed how professionally she picked spots and poses for us. It was so much fun! She was also a great listener and could focus on little details you would not even think of. We were very happy with out pictures - they came out really great. It was very hard to pick the best ones because we liked all of them! I would definitely recommend Mila to anyone who is looking for professional photo shoots!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mila and her team. As a 2020 bride, I had to make a lot of changes to my wedding plans. I ended up having a small intimate gathering of close family and friends, and the photos produced my Mila and her team are something that I will always cherish. Mila and her team are professional, kind, timely, and extremely talented. I highly recommend working with Mila and her team to capture the special moments of your wedding.

Mila is an exeptionally talented photographer in every extent of the word. My husband and I tied the knot back in October of 2018. When we were planning our wedding, we didn't know where to start from. The only thing that we knew was that one of the most important parts of planning our wedding was to find a great photographer with a unique style that would permanently capture our special day with beautiful pictures. My husband and I both have an artsy side and as soon as we found Mila and saw her work we knew she would be great. From day one Mila was a great listener, she cared about our concerns and ideas. Mila was also helpful by incorporating her ideas and staying in touch with us in every step of the way. At the beginning we were not planning to do a engagement photo shoot, but Mila was so professional and talented that end we ended up deciding on getting engagement package too. Mila is very personal with her clients, she treats you like a friend who deserves to have the best quality of her work and we never felt pressure or rushed into making decisions. Two years later and Mila still cares about us the way she cared from day one. We contacted her because we had accidentally lost some of our pictures and she got in touch with us right away and helped us with getting our pictures back. We are very grateful with Mila, we can not express enough how lucky we feel to have such a talented and professional photographer in our lives.

We loved working with Mila for our engagement shoot. She made us feel comfortable with something we’ve never done, fairly quickly. She met us and we fell into working together nicely & efficiently. We were surprised how much coverage & variety of shots we got in so little time! The beauty of the photos was not sacrificed, nor did we feel rushed by her. She knew how to work amongst a crowd in our location and make shots with only us. She tried her best to include our unruly toddler & we got some with him whereas we didn’t expect to get any usable ones. We couldn’t believe how good we looked and how professional our photos looked! We wanted our shoot to look natural, non-typical posey wedding shots and she delivered. We felt represented- our love and personality came through. She accommodated our limited budget and our privacy condition without making us feel bad. We will recommend her to everyone we know and work with her for our other photo needs in the future.

Mila did an exceptional job with our wedding photos! She was incredibly patient with us and went above and beyond on our special day. Even though it was chilly when taking photos outside, Mila did not rush the photos and took the time to pose us and re-do shots to make sure each photo was perfect. We appreciated her professional input with photo ideas, and she worked with some of the ideas I had presented to her. All of our photos came out beautiful, and we are so excited to print them and put together a photo album; because all the photos came out so well, we're having a hard time narrowing down which ones we want to print! We highly recommend Mila for your special day - she is great!

Mila was very kind and excited! We went for Mila because her pricing was very fair and her pictures are on the artistic side, which we like. If you choose Mila be prepared with a list of people you want to get pictures with and make sure that they are aware you want those pictures. I missed a few photos with friends and family that I wished we got but I was too preoccupied to get everyone prepared. Overall, the quality of her photos are amazing! I would recommend Mila.

I don’t have enough amazinn things to say about Mila! She was absolutely perfect for our wedding. My family is large, loud, and we don’t tend to listen to directions well, but she handled all of us like a champ! She directed us every step of the way, and made sure we stayed focused, which is definitely what we needed in a photographer! We’ve received some preview pics from her and are completely blown away! They are beautiful, and perfect and give all of us so much joy! Would highly recommend Mila for any event, she was so great to work with, and easy to get ahold of!! Thanks again Mila, can’t wait to see the rest of them!!!

We found Mila through a wedding vendor event where we won a free engagement shoot. Mila has great customer service, as she is very responsive and helpful. Seeing as my fiance and I had never done any sort of photo shoot before, we needed hep on how to pose, someone to tell us when our smiles looked tired/fake, etc. Mila was an experienced professional. She captured great shots around Lincoln Park with us. Would recommend!

We had our summer wedding 2019 capture by Mila! It was a pleasure working with her for a second time, we had our engagements taken by her as well. We still have people saying great things about the photos and getting prints. Our wedding photos show the emotion and relieve the day with every image. She takes the time to meet with you and asks all questions. She has passion for her work and that every image is perfect and tells the story of that day. We are glad we had her capture our big day this summer! And super excited to get our prints and display them! Highly recommend for engagement photos and wedding photos!

My husband, Drew, and I are so beyond blessed by the beautiful work that Mila did for our special wedding day! From the very beginning, Mila made sure that Drew and I felt comfortable, prepared, and taken care of. She made sure to meet with us at the very beginning to get to know us personally, hear about the wedding that we wanted, and understand what pictures we dreamed of for our wedding! Throughout the entire planning process she was attentive, responsive, and always excited and willing to be flexible for what we wanted! On our wedding day, I did not once have to worry about missing a picture that I hoped to have because she had it all covered. She is an extremely talented, professional, passionate, and amazing photographer and I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to photograph our wedding. All of the pictures turned out perfectly, and I can’t wait to display them around our home and pass them along to family! Booking Mila for our wedding was 100% worth every single penny and we completely recommend her!

I cannot express how thrilled we are that we hired Mila to capture our wedding day. From our first phone call she was kind and super easy to get along with and very open to our ideas. After working with her on our engagement shoot her true creativity came out and we couldn't wait until the big day! Mila went above and beyond to capture the shots we wanted, and we got them all before it started pouring rain! The turnaround for photos was quick, I was starting to thing a year + was the standard for getting wedding photos back but Mila was very professional with getting our photos to us quickly. My jaw dropped when I saw the final result I could not stop looking at them! We highly recommend Mila for her creativity and professionalism, even on a stressful day she made us feel at ease. Even months after our wedding we cannot be more thankful for capturing the best day of our lives.

We were referred to Mila by another photographer. She did an awesome job and was extremely professional! We even extended our time with her with no problem at all. We'd absolutely recommend Mila for anyone looking for a Chicago suburbs wedding photographer.

I hired Mila for my wedding in October and I can not say one bad thing about her! She exceeded our expectations by far and we were so IN LOVE with the way our photos were captured and how they came out. She edited them beautiful and tastefully and was so sweet and professional to work with! I can’t say enough kind words about this woman and her amazing skills! I hired a second photographer which happened to be her husband and he was equally wonderful! It was great to get different angels! Overall extremely satisfied and would highly recommend hiring Mila for any photography service! ❤️

Mila was professional yet down to earth. I chose her because of her creative pictures and great reviews and she did not disappoint! She listened to our requests and got them all covered as well as a lot of candid shots at the reception of moments we would have otherwise missed. Very happy with our pictures and everything done in a timely manner .

So glad I found Mila for our elopement! We have never used a photographer before but she made everything really smooth and overall had a great experience. She was super sweet and helpful from the beginning even called few days beforehand to discuss location, other details for our pictures, and what to prepare for. When the day came she was very professional and so patient in taking good quality photos for us. She did what she could to make it work!! The photos were also ready in the time frame agreed upon. We loved how the pictures turned out. We will book her again when the time comes! Highly recommend :)

Mila is the best! As soon as she walked through the door she had her camera in hand and was taking pictures. She was constantly giving ideas for different posses to best capture our day. I can't wait to see all the pictures. I highly recommend Mila to anyone that wants a photographer who will capture all the best moments of your wedding.

We hired Mila for photos after our wedding (City Hall) and she took beautiful pictures of us in downtown Chicago. She was very fun to work with and asked the right amount of questions to not be a bother but make sure that we got the types of images we wanted. She is very easy to work with and was very responsive to all of my questions. I would definitely work with her again, and my wife already recommended her to a friend!

We absolutely loved our engagement photos!We got our engagement photos done end of April and it was a pleasure to work with Mila. She took the time to meet with us and get to know us as a couple before the photo session. She discussed in details how the session would work and clearly answered any questions we had. We are excited to have Mila capture our photos for our big day July 2019!

We had never had professional photos taken, so we were hoping to find someone easy going for our engagement photos. Mila was easy to work with and answered all of my questions and concerns immediately. During our session she was very outgoing, energetic, and was wonderful to work with! It was snowing and cold during our session but that didn't stop Mila from coming up with great ideas for us. her energy and spirit definitely helped us and our photos came out amazing! Thank you for our wonderful memories that we will look back on. We would definitely use Mila again! 

Mila was so much fun to work with for our engagement photo shoot session in downtown Chicago! I was a little nervous to take engagement photos at first (mainly bc I don’t think I’m very photogenic!) but she really made the whole experience so much fun and no stress at all. A few weeks before our session, we met up with Mila to share our ideas and plan our locations, so the day of the shoot everything ran seamlessly. We started at Drumbar (a rooftop bar), and Mila had so many creative ideas for different shots! After that we went to the Chicago Riverwalk and got a wide variety of shots in many different locations. Mila was awesome at directing us on how to pose and where to look during the photos. When we received our photos and were so impressed with the results!! Mila captured so many different shots for us in just a few hours, and made us look great! :) I would definitely recommend Mila to anyone looking for an engagement or wedding photographer in the Chicago/Naperville area!

Mila was absolutely fantastic! We were searching for a photographer to take engagement photos. We wanted something outdoors and casual and she had the perfect suggestion for a venue. There were so many great options for backdrops that gave us a variety of pictures to choose from. She was so friendly and helpful making suggestions for poses without feeling forced and unnatural (we’ve never done professional pictures before.) Overall such a wonderful experience, definitely recommend. We had no issues with the contract or payment and communication was clear from day one. Thank you Mila for the beautiful photos!

Mila was the second photography at my husband and my’s wedding in September and she was absolutely amazing to work with! Her attention to detail is just incredible and we couldn’t have been more blessed with AMAZING photographs from our wedding! HIGHLY recommend!!

My wife and I recently hired Mila to be our wedding photographer. We had our small wedding ceremony in Chicago in May. She went above and beyond anything we could've hoped for during such an important occasion. She was extremely professional during all steps of the process making sure to call us before our ceremony so she would have an idea of the look we were going for in poses and photo locations. On our wedding day, she arrived early and continued to ask us more questions about what we were looking for in our photos. She was more than happy to take our suggestions on which poses we wanted to do and camera angles we wanted to experiment with. Even though we had already told her which locations we wanted pictures taken in, she was also professional enough to take pictures in completely unexpected locations that we walked by as we were headed to other previously selected locations. When we received our photos, we couldn't be happier. They turned out great! Even better than what we were expecting. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer, engagement pictures, family photos, etc. we can't recommend her enough.
