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.

We used Milestone photography, videography, drone footage and photo booth for our wedding. We were extremely happy with the services we received at a VERY fair price.
I will admit ...
we were very apprehensive about hiring them but we are pleased that we did.
Don't be afraid because they don't have all of the bells and whistles as many of the other companies out there. Don't be afraid because they are not overly charging you. Don't be afraid because they don't have that pretty office in a prime location. Those other companies have all of the thrills to entice you and you will pay for all of that in the long run. For the price we paid and everything our package included, you just can't beat the price.

Bob was fantastic from beginning to end. He gave my husband and I suggestions for places to take our engagement shoot. (Pictures turned out amazing). I am very happy with him that ...
he was able to take a photo with spontaneous poses. On the wedding day, we also booked the photo booth along with the photography, and it was a blast! All of our guests loved the props and my husband and I loved the comments that the guests wrote on their photobooth print outs for us. One thing that stood out the most, which I am most greatful for, it how Bob was able to pull together my whole crazy family and take those amazing photos. With the years of experience that he has, I am comfortable to recommend his service and to hire him again for future milestones in our new life together. I can say another great thing about vendor is the price. I know how easily weddings can add up in price, but with all the extras that are provided, it is definitely worth going with him. Thank you again Bob for an amazing day and photographing our new life.

My husband and I highly recommend Milestone!

We loved our pictures! We did an engagement shoot which was helpful to see how the photographer worked and the type of pictures we would receive. We got 350 pictures back within 48...
hours. Then within a month we received the rest of our pictures on a flash drive along with a photo montage. The photo montage was 30mins long. We then got to pick out 60 photos to be included in a wedding album provided by milestone. Within a day or 2 of giving the pictures we had a draft of the book for our approval. Once we finalized the book the book was received within 2 weeks. For our wedding milestone printed one of our engagement pictures on a large poster and had all of our guests sign it. To make sure everyone signed it Bob made an announcement and passed it around. I would recommend milestone especially if you want your photos and video back quickly!

e different types of photos he does such as the fish eye, multiple exposure pictures. From the moment we had our first consultation we immediately knew that Milestone Photo and Video was the company that we has been looking for. Bob showed us the different types of pictures and videos that he has done in the past and answered all of our without any hesitation. We told him what we were looking for and he showed us the different packages that he offers. We got what we were looking for and more! Whenever we had questions he very prompt and thorough on his responses! We emailed him dozens of times throughout the wedding planning and was great with getting back to us! He took our engagement photos at Lilacia Park and they turned out sooooo amazing!!!! We got raving compliments on them!!! The different types of poses he had us do was quite amazing! What he can do with that camera is beyond our belief!!!! When it came up to days leading up until the wedding he called us and emailed us confirming that all the times were correct on the contract and confirming last minute details. When it came up to the day of the wedding he showed up 30 minutes early and stayed all the way to the end of the wedding!!! Bob was running around making sure he got everybody getting ready! He took so many cool shots of us all! He took over 2,500 pictures of the whole wedding and even got a video of it too!!! Bob is truly one of a kind!! We couldn't of asked for a better photographer!!!! Thank you again so so much for all of your hard work from the first moment we met until our wedding day!!! We will defiantly be recommending you to our family and friends! Thank You Nicole & Ramy!!!!!!!

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.

and made an amazing video highlight movie to music that was as good as any video I have ever seen. Not to mention, he is super nice and easy to work with. He is better than vendors twice his price. PERFECT!

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!
