Modern Image Studios

the candid moments throughout the evening. I am more than ecstatic with the photos. Everyone loves them and so do we. I definitely recommend them as a photographer for your special day.

ce and seemed to know what he was doing. He was able to corral everyone that we wanted to get pictures with and we stayed on time. I really appreciated working with Nicole in the office as well, she was very helpful and responded to my emails quickly. That definitely helped take a little stress off of planning. I highly recommend Modern Image Studios for photography.

ved the photo booth that came as part of our photography package. It was open-air and there were a variety of props included. We received our photos less than a month after the wedding and are so happy how they turned out!

ok time to cater to my needs personally. Modern Image Studios does just that. From filling out an online "shot list" to speaking with the photographer before the big day, this company does it right! Furthermore, our wedding day went so smoothly due to the professional nature of our photographer Vlad. He created STUNNING pictures for us! I was so excited. After all was said and done, MIS also provides the option of ordering a disc of images. This process could not be easier. My parents, as well as my in-laws were both ecstatic to know they could get a disc of photos to keep forever. I HIGHLY recommend Modern Image Studios for wedding photography!

photographs. Forgot the shot list provided, so missed several shots, didn't direct family to move so heads were cut off, didn't direct bride and groom to do anything but smile and kiss. The editing was not done very well. I would suggest if you are going with Modern, the staff are great and very accommodating, but try to get anyone but Roman.

er positive energy made her feel more like a friend taking pictures, which was great with the kiddos, too! Kelly, at the office was always responsive, always had the answer, directed us through the process and made everything so seamless and easy! I would recommend both Modern Image AND Julie to any new Bride -- you will not be disappointed!!!

to worry about. And Karri, my photographer, was super organized and was consistently on schedule. Thank you so much for making my day so special!

e weeks! I highly recommend Modern Image for your wedding photography, you will not go wrong!

eding photography services

ly was an easy and gracious contact person who always answered my questions or promptly followed back up with me if she needed to get the information. I was never left waiting or wondering. Their scheduling system for the event was fabulous and easy to manage. We booked their top package for photographer and videographer, and could not have been happier with the results!

nd patiently. Julie was our photographer and she was beyond amazing. Our limo ended up not showing up so we had to uber to our venue and were late for pictures. Julie knocked out nothing but winners in half the time, had beautiful shots of the family, and was just an all around pleasant person. The album and pictures were great and we bought 2 small albums for our parents which were perfect. The value of service and the price are so worth it!

ic things we wanted to cover in the video and they hit them all. What sold us on this company was that my husband and I were able to pick our own music for the video. We did not have to work off a pre-approved list of songs. Our video was ready in a few short weeks and it was perfect!!! The best part was that my husband worked with Kelly and Nicole behind my back to surprise me with a video of himplaying piano and singing one of our song at our wedding venue as a anniversary gift. It meant so much to both of us that they were so willing to work with us. I will recommentd them to anyone that asks.

sages written by family and friends. My husband and I really loved working with Vlad, our photographer. He was so creative, easy-going, and very talented! We are in love with our photos! Jim, our videographer was also truly talented, very friendly, and extremely professional! We are waiting on getting our video, but it has only been a few weeks since our wedding. I am confident we will love it, since we have been pleased with everything from this company, including the great communication among all members at the studio. I highly recommend choosing Modern Image Studios, they are a very reliable company that is affordable!

ptured great images. Working with Kelly and Anna was a pleasure. They were extremly accommodating to any requests/concerns and responded to all questions/emails in a time sensitive manner. We received our wedding album and it turned out great! Would highly recommend Modern Image Studios!

when my husband or I ran out. Receiving the pictures was in a timely fashion, like a week and a half to two weeks to get all of the pictures! I would recommend Modern Images to every bride I talk to in the Chicagoland area!

mes) was our videographer. They were an awesome duo. We caught them enjoying the music, it put a huge smile on my face. Mike checked in a few times with me and my family to make sure everything was good. He did not miss a minute recording everything from speeches to dancing. Our video package is perfect! He ended it with my husband and I dancing to a song that reminds us of the early days. It was a unexpected touch, that was very appreciated. Vlad was running everywhere so he wouldn't miss a good photo opportunity. Vlad knew how to shoot and did it well. He would be on the ground trying to get the right angle. He would randomly stop us to get a quick shot. It was cold outside since it was April and my mother in law was "joking" saying that he would pay her medical bills when she gets sick. I didn't appreciate that from her and I thought it was rude. Vlad just laughed it off and directed her to a place near by to go. They both were amazing and I'm super happy with how everything came out!

ept everyone on the dance floor and everyone had a blast. So glad we went with modern image studios

ing to capture whatever shot we wanted. He was a pleasure to work with and although we have not gotten the proofs back yet (just got married on 9-5-15) we are convinced they are going to be spectacular. The company is very professional and keep their promises. I would recommend this company, and particularly Vlad, to anyone.

me time, he was direct, asked good questions and allowed us to look through photographers' portfolios before we made a final decision. The entire appointment - including booking - took less than an hour. He also judged our personalities well. Our engagement session with Vlad couldn't have gone any better. We were instantly comfortable. You'll never be completely at ease during your first photo shoot as a couple, but he was able to create a fun atmosphere for us. He caught us at moments when we were exactly ourselves. As cheesy as it sounds, you could totally see the love. The photos turned out beautiful. It looked like the shoot was effortless on our part. The color correction and the softness of the editing were exactly to our taste. We're very confident going into the wedding that our bridal party and family will have fun with him and that our photos will be to the same caliber, if not better. I also have a great opinion of the administrative staff. Emails and phone calls are always answered promptly, by a pleasant person who's ready to help you with whatever you need. It's not every day where every member of the team is easy to work with. I'd recommend Modern Image to any couple. Go for it!

look like something you would only see in a bridal magazine! I got all of my photos back in 2 weeks!! Thank you so much Modern Image Studios and Scott for everything and making my wedding a beautiful memory now!

professional and personal and made us and the wedding party and guests very comfortable. Abel was so friendly and outgoing and his photographs were beautiful. Nick was our videographer and he did an awesome job. The staff at the studio was friendly and always answered any questions as quick as possible. Would highly, recommend Abel to anyone looking for a photographer

e average at best. I don't think they did a good job of touching up, and the color is just ok. As for the photographer and videographer, they were ok. They stayed out of the way, but didn't really do a good job of coordinating the pictures or motions. I had to constantly hunt down the photographer to ask for a certain pic, and he missed on some key ones (e.g. a pic of my mother with us). If I were you, I'd go elsewhere.

re amazing. All of them are so genuine, kind, helpful....I could go on and on. I highly, highly recommend using them for your big day! You won't be sorry!!!!!

mpt in replying to any emails or phone calls, and was very easy to work with. We absolutely fell in love with our photographer Abel. Honestly, I cannot say enough wonderful things about him. He is absolutely fantastic. I was a very stressed out bride, and he immediately made me feel comfortable. While taking pictures at my parents’ home, I slipped on the back of my dress and would have fallen on the ground if he had not caught me. He literally kept me from falling over. I knew our pictures were in “good hands” from that point forward. During some family photos after our ceremony, our 4 year old flower girl started to cry. Abel was so sweet and helped her calm down. I’m not sure what Abel gave her (it looked like a garage door remote control), but he told her he needed her for an important job and to press the button when he told her. I don’t know if this little gadget actually did anything photography related, or if Abel was just prepared knowing that little kids can get overwhelmed. Either way, we have beautiful family pictures where everyone was smiling, so I will be forever thankful for Abel and that little gadget. We were married on a cold and snowy March 2014 day. During our reception, my husband and I decided we wanted to take a picture in the gazebo outside of our reception hall. The pathway was not shoveled, and there was probably about a foot of snow to walk through to get to the gazebo. Abel said he was game to walk through the snow if we were. Let me tell you, my husband and I have gorgeous pictures outside in the gazebo with snow falling around us. I HIGHLY recommend working with Modern Image Studios and choosing Abel Arciniega as a photographer. Our wedding pictures were everything we hoped for, and we will never be able to think of our wedding day without remembering how wonderful it was to work with Abel.

he gave ideas and even liked ours that we had on the spot. She laughed with us and at us. She was soo great. She caught those little moments that I wanted. Plus i didn't realize how many photos she got. But they all turned out great. I am very Thankful that i chose her!

w them from home too). Our photographer, Vlad, was fantastic. He was non-stop working and provided us with direction when we needed it, but was also a fly on the wall during the big day (most of the time, I didn't even know he was there!) Overall it was a good value and I would definitely recommend this business.

our wedding was answered and they were always flexible with us. As for the day of service, all I have to say is incredible! We had Bridget as our photographer and Bryan as our videographer. Both of them were phenomenal and did a fantastic job. We received our pictures within 30 days after our wedding, which is incredibly fast compared to most companies We also received our video within 90 days after our wedding. Both of these products turned out amazing. I will highly recommend Modern Image Studio to everyone and anyone that needs a photographer or videographer for their wedding day.

thers REAL smiles, and I am not sure that had ever happened. The company is really easy to work with, and they were very attentive to my many questions and got back to me in a timely manor. I recommend using them, and would use them again for a special occasion!

his company went above and beyond my expectations. Always on the same page, and if I needed ANYTHING they were there. I could call whenever and always have my questions answered. Called back efficiently. Even after my wedding event they were more than happy to guide me through the website to download my pictures, and review our contract to make sure I got everything I paid for. EXTREMELY HELPFUL AND CARING!!!!! I had Bridget as a photographer. She is just incredible!! made my bridal party laugh hysterically and made us feel so comfortable. She helped pose us when we needed. My pictures turned out great. I cant wait to show them off because im so proud of my decision to go with this company. I had complete and total confidence in this vendor, which is hard to find. I HIGHLY recommend this company. Your wedding day WILL be captured!

pictures that we needed! It was really important that we made cocktail hour on time and they respected that so we weren't outside taking a million pictures (our bridal party also appreciated that). The videographers Jim and Nick were also wonderful! The footage that we have seen so far is great! And they weren't like so videographers like I have seen that flash the bright light in your face while on the dance floor, which is super embarrassing! All and all I would hands down recommend Modern Image for any bride and groom!

nitial meeting with Gerry, who was amazing, and their in-house studio was great as well. Our photographer Joe N was top-notch, very professional the whole day and was so positive. We also used Brian as our videographer, he and Joe both called the week of to finalize plans and reassure us that the day will go well. We can't wait to see our pictures and would recommend Modern Image to anyone. Thanks again! Lisa & Rick 10/3/14

eeks before our wedding, despite our frequent calls to Savvi which is how we were told to communicate with MWS. We were given the name of at least three different people who would be working our event and by the time we finally met with our photographer, it was someone else completely. And this person, although very professional and seemingly competent, was a new contractor with MWS and had no clue what was included with our package or even how to go about obtaining all the extras we were promised with booking. Since the wedding, on August 23, 2014, we've tried contacting them regarding our pictures and they let us know it would take 30 days. It is now over 30 days and we still have no pictures and no communication from anyone. Modern Wedding Solutions is a headache and a joke.

ntire bridal party had fun. The pictures from our day are beautiful and we could not be happier!

at $3,500 (and that was the starting price JUST for photography). The price from Modern Image included photography and videography and was hundreds less. I got to speak with our photographer, Bridget, beforehand and express what was important to us, go over timeline, express details, and ask questions. This eased my anxiety about what would happen on the "day of" and I was eternally grateful for this additional consultation from our photographer. On our wedding day, it was amazing to watch Bridget immediately understand who was family and who was part of the bridal party and collect those defining pictures of the night; every time we wanted her to take a picture, she was already there. The pictures turned out even better than I could have imagined and the proofs were available in about 3 weeks! Amazing. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to all brides.

shed product was always faster than expected and the format of files makes it easy to download, save, share, and print pictures. The admin team is also super helpful and understanding of budget, deadlines, and the process that goes into planning the perfect day. The opportunity to work with the same photographer for both the engagement shoot and the wedding is something that I loved and made us feel so comfortable! We have already recommended Modern Image Studios to friends planning their wedding in the Chicago area and will continue to do so for years to come. Definitely a top notch organization worthy of all the accolades they have received!

d great ideas and definitely captured the moment. Everyone at modern was professional and very easy to work with. They returned calls immediately and are all very willing to help. We actually got our flowers from modern as well and they were GORGEOUS! Lauren was amazing at picking out the colors that matched my wedding theme. She was always willing to help and the ladies who delivered our flowers were so friendly. They even stayed at the church to make sure everyone got their flowers on properly. I couldn't have asked for anything more. Modern Image studies is amazing!

earted and wonderful. The shots were carefree and photojournalistic. We had a traditional indian wedding so with numerous events, we also had Art photograph our traditional song and dance "sangeet" and he was absolutely AMAZING! For our wedding day, we carefully chose Julie V. after looking at her portfolio and I can honestly say she was the best decision we made through all of our vendors. Each and every one of my photos is stunning. We are so lucky we were able to have three brilliant photographers be part of our love story. I am a very picky bride and trust me, book with Modern Image Studios---you will not be disappointed! I cannot wait to enlarge some of my photos and hang up on the wall! Memories to last a lifetime.

es. Jeff Owen was our main photographer and he has a great personality and was so fun to work with. The entire bridal party had fun taking photos including three children, ages four and under! I highly recommend Modern wedding solutions to anyone looking to capture the true happiness at your wedding!!

these.

were pretty laid back when it came to what pictures we wanted to take and how we should stand and everything and Bridget knew exactly what to do. And to top it off we had a wedding party that included lots of kids (especially some little ones who aren't the best at paying attention and taking pictures) and she did a great job. She was always there to capture the shot when an unexpected yet magical moment was taking place and she was also there to help make some of those magical pictures. As a bride, you don't want to have to worry about whether your photographer is going to be getting those special shots that you want on your wedding day and with Bridget I didn't have to worry at all. I will say it again, she was AMAZING! I would hire her again and again and again to take pictures for all of the future milestones in our life. This company comes highly recommended by both me and my husband. They were just great to work with and I could not have asked for more.

extremely professional, yet casual enough to make the day comfortable and fun! We didn't feel like we were constantly posing for pictures and got a good variety of candid and set up shots. They were so flexible and let us do our thing with site selection (all across downtown) but were also there to provide input and an artistic touch to give us an overall phenomenal finished product. We could not have been happier - great service, great value, amazing quality, and extremely professional and fun. Thanks so much Gerry and the Modern Image Team - Kylie & Tom

rapher was enjoying the event as much as we were. We now have the difficult task of deciding, which of all those photos we'll have made into prints and/or books.

with some of the editing process and the lack of communication to receive our final product, but overall, we were very satisfied with their services.

of the day, this photographer would not be my choice. As the mother of the bride, I just wanted one traditional picture of the bride and groom in the front of the church with her full flowing gown (you know, the main wedding picture that every couple has since the dawn of time) and it is sorely missing from the photos. The precious time spent between the bride and her father the 15 minutes before the wedding - ignored, no photos. Pictures of the parents of the bride or the parents of the groom together at any point in the wedding - none. Pictures of the bride and her parents before the wedding - none. When the photographer was taking pictures of each bridesmaid individually with the bride, I asked if he would take one of me with the bride. One of only two pictures of my daughter and I together. At least a good posed photo of the family of the bride - nope, not that either. The family picture has the father bedside the bride and the mother of the bride beside the groom (good start) and then all five brothers of the bride lumped beside the mother. So if modern posed pictures are what you are looking for, they were absolutely gorgeous. If you are hoping to get in a couple of basic pictures that capture the emotion of the day, be sure to discuss that in depth with the photographer before the wedding day. Because once it is gone, you don't get another chance. From the mom who has missed out forever on the classic wedding picture of her only daughter.

nd them we had a free engagement session with our package, but we were able to schedule it with Brian so we would have a chance to get comfortable with him and his style. We loved the pictures! On the wedding day, we were again so impressed with Brian and he made us feel at ease. Our party bus never showed up, so he actually put my groom and I as well as the videographer in his own car to make sure we could go to the woods to have our own intimate pictures. The pictures are amazing! We are so grateful for Brian. I was having some issues when I ordered the digital rights to some pictures and communication with Kelly and Jeff disappeared. I left messages with Kelly, but never heard back. Jeff felt horrible about the technical issues and tried to move quickly to fix them. Overall, the price is right and getting to choose your photographer makes MIS a great choice!

oked into about a dozen other photographers and this one stood out for several reasons. They were affordable, highly rated (both online and from personal references), and they were so professional from the get go. I set up a free consultation and was able to get a feel for what they had to offer with no commitment. I told them what I was looking for in a photographer (what kind of style I wanted, personality matches, etc.) and they were able to match me up with several photographers they thought would be perfect for me. I had the opportunity to view the work of these several photographers and then chose which one I liked the best. I also loved the fact they worked with me along the way. They have a very organized approach that really prepares you for the big day. I got to speak with my photographer beforehand and express what was important to me, go over timeline, express details, and ask questions. My pictures turned out even better than I could have imagined and the proofs were available in about 3 weeks! Amazing. I would definitely use them again.

rs. The staff has always been helpful and kind and very professional. My photographer Paige and i spoke several times before my wedding and i was able to send her all the ideas i had and we seemed to click very well. She arrived on time and was very open and bubbly. I did not feel like i had to correct her and she let us use a lot of our own ideas as well as hers. She did great with time, and was very kind to all our guests, she fit right in! While i have not seen my images yet have had friends used this company and i loved their pictures, and they got them very promptly, some even within a week! I cant wait to see my wedding pictures, and I'm so glad i chose Modern Image!

ceeded! If you are looking for a great photographer, you can't go wrong with Modern Image!

sure he was set with his timeline for the day, which made us feel really comfortable with having him. He followed the timeline the day of our wedding and was flexible with us and the guests wanting certain photos. We had told him we had a couple of ideas but really wanted direction from him regarding pose ideas or just doing more natural candid shots and we feel like he did a great job with all of them. The photo both looked great and was well run. Our guests had a blast with it and we love the pictures that we got from it.

to the photographer and videographer, we also booked a photobooth. This was by far the highlight of the evening! My guests loved the photobooth and are still talking about it months later. When we saw our photos for the first time, we were completely floored. Jeff and Vlad did an amazing job capturing every moment so beautifully. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!

ntil the day of the wedding hoping I would get a good photographer.

arted. He was very organized and professional. He worked very well with my photographer who was with a different company. He had great ideas and listened to all of my requests. I was originally unsure if I was going to hire a videographer or not. I am SO happy I did! They exceeded my expectations and I can't wait to watch the video when it's ready! Highly recommend working with Modern Image Studios!

ge a thing!

wedding day. Bridget was our photographer and she was fun, outgoing and professional. She understood what we wanted photographed and covered every base. She even went out of her way to as a police officer who had pulled someone over if we could take a picture of us getting "hitched" with handcuffs (it is a great picture, by the way)! We booked a second photographer for 4 hours of our day and he ended up shooting for 8 hours! We also took advantage of a free photo booth offer and it was an absolute hit! We used the photo strips and some magnetic frames as our favors. We received the proofs of our photos online 3 weeks after the event and our guests could view them as well. I only wish that some of the editing had been a bit better to improve the colors of the photos. Nevertheless, I would definitely recommend MIS to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

ely helpful and really took the time to answer all the questions I had. My photographer was Jeff and he did an amazing job shooting both my engagement pictures and wedding pictures. He is also very funny while taking pictures, which made everything more enjoyable. My wedding party absolutely loved him and had fun taking pictures! Modern Image Studios will definitely be my go to studio for any future professional pictures that I take! Look no further, Modern Image is the perfect photography studio/company to shoot your wedding or any other event!

ony pictures, but he was definitely all over the place at the wedding getting pic of absolutely everything. We certainly got some good pictures, but were a little disappointed with some of them - unfortunately there are no good pics of me and my dad walking down the aisle or me and my husband walking out - one of us is not looking in the pics. not entirely the photographers fault but i wouldnt have minded a slightly posed pic if it was a good one. the price for the amount of time and prints we got was great!

ade everyone comfortable and he captured all the moments we asked for on the day of our wedding.
