My husband and I had our fusion wedding back in October of this year and Milestone Videos was everything we wanted!! We had originally hired someone else for our wedding videograph...
y, but two weeks before our ceremony, we found out they were a scam. I found Milestone Video about 48 hours before our ceremony and I can truly say Bob was God sent!! From the very first meeting of inquiry to chains of emails discussing timelines, locations, and music, and the multiple meticulously planned out final deliverables, we received so much support, kindness, cooperation, understanding, and patience. There was clear and effective communication leading up to the ceremony, and it didn’t waver for the religious ceremony day a few days after and the reception day to follow the day after that. Bob was so helpful every step of the way and he not only had the vision that fit us perfectly, but the adjustments he was willing to make for us made the entire experience just that much more special! He took on a three day wedding project with about 48 hours of notice; we cannot thank him enough!! Highly recommend Milestone Videos and Bob Busch!!!!

s a product we were happy with. I literally would have paid twice as much and it still would have been worth every penny. I loved all of our wedding vendors but Bob and Dave were our favorites out of all of them and they also received so many compliments from our guests. We started out the day with first look outside and Bob knew all of the best spots to get gorgeous iconic Chicago shots. Bob was literally stopping traffic to make sure we got the all the best pictures we wanted. He was professional and did a great job with the whole wedding party including the kids in our party, who were initially camera shy. We were so happy with our wedding photos and got so many great moments with our guests that we will cherish forever. I didn’t even know when we booked the very reasonably priced package that it also included an engagement session. Bob also surprised us at the wedding by blowing up our favorite engagement photo and having all of the guests sign it. It was a wonderful wedding souvenir and we intend to frame it and hang it. If I ever need a professional photographer again I would definitely hire Bob. I recommend Milestone to everyone.

Here's my honest review.
We used Milestone for our wedding photography, videography, photo booth and drone footage.
This was definitely one of those cases of not judging a book by...
its cover.
We received a really fair price for quality work.
The drone footage was amazing and the turn around on the short wedding video was surprisingly fast. I know of other couples who waited months to see videos and photos from their wedding. We were not one of those couples.
It's sooooo nice to sit back every year and watch the video from our magical day. Money well spent.

Out of the many, many photographers we interviewed, Milestone was the only one that me and my wife agreed on right away. To start off, Bob provided excellent customer service, He w...
as courteous, informative and responded very quickly to phone calls and emails. He would inform us without being annoying about he time-table and when we would get our photos. We never had to call him and ask him what's going. Secondly, he always made sure that we would look good in the shot. He would tell us if something was wrong that we could correct it immediately without being bothersome. Also he made sure that we got every photo he took which was very important to my wife. He was there early and was everywhere taking photos and video. Even now I don't know how he was able to be in so many places at once. I had a medium sized wedding (approx 250 people) and he was able to take photos of everyone having fun after the dinner. If I have another formal event, Milestone Photo will be the first person I would call. Lastly, I have to say I like the fact that he has his prices on the website, so I knew I wasn't looking at someone out of my budget. Plus he has so many pictures of weddings on his website including ones of my reception place (awesome!!!) That in itself was a selling point because we knew he knew the location and would know the best place to take pictures. If you are looking for the best photography company for your wedding. Milestone is it.

We can share our favorites with family and friends via social media and Shutterfly. We also treasure our wedding video which will allow us to relive our beautiful day for years to come. It captured my transition from bride-to-be to bride, a special message from my groom, our ceremony, all of the important events of the day and the crazy fun dancing we would have missed if a video hadn’t been available. We highly recommend Milestone Photo and Video!

My husband and I are very pleased with the beautiful job that Milestone Video put together. They were on time the day of our wedding followed instructions and went above and beyond...
to make that day very special for us. I can't thank them enough. Watching our video couple of days ago put tiers on my eyes, not only because of the special day but all the beautiful moments that Milestone had captured, knowing that it was definitely not an easy job because the wedding was in a different language and so many traditions that you don't see everyday. I recommend them to anyone who wants to go back to their wedding day and feel that just happened. I will use Milestone in the future again. Wishing Milestone best of luck and keep up the amazing work.

Photography, Videography FANTASTIC! Bob and Dave were absolutely amazing. I received my pictures within 45 days. They were busy with other weddings, but when I called they made sure they gave me 100% at all times. One day I called and he was getting ready for a wedding and he still took time to make sure my questions were answered. My pictures were gorgeous, I had 2536 of them, you cannot beat that! the price was amazing also, I want to say this. Bob called and introduced himself to me and gave me a background of the company. when we spoke he made sure he got to know me. I received calls from other companies and it was not a personal conversation it was prices and that is it!!! Bob is amazing and everyone at my wedding is still talking about him. I would recommend him to anyone if i could. Milestone, should be your #1 choice for your wedding. you can check out my photos on my facebook shellriece parker!! He was amazing. THANK YOU BOB AND DAVE!!! YOU MADE MY WEDDING AWESOME!!

raphy, giving me lasting mementos. They also produced photo montages which were beautiful and fun, and not sappy, as I feared they would be. I have used less-experienced photographers and videographers and really see the difference. Milestone is top-notch. They are also great at an event - they make the guests feel very comfortable. Milestone has the equipment and editing expertise of the corporate world and the friendly, creative, truly helpful skills of the social world. I will use them again if I have the chance!
