We couldn’t have chosen a better photographer to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, we were impressed by Roland’s work and attentiveness. Roland went above and beyond for our engagement photos - he shot them in New Orleans since we currently live in Louisiana, on his own personal vacation. The photos turned out absolutely gorgeous and he made us feel so at ease in front of the camera. When it came time to reschedule our October 2020 wedding due to COVID-19, Roland couldn’t have been more understanding or accommodating with pushing our wedding to October 2021. Leading up to the wedding day, Roland was a huge help with planning. He emailed us a timeline for the day to review and the week of the wedding, he called and walked us through the entire detailed timeline. On the wedding day itself, Roland was a dream to work with. He showed up right on time and immediately got to work on the guys photos. When he came to the bridal suite for the getting ready shots, he was so helpful! He again went above and beyond - arranging my dress perfectly for all the photos and even helping me put my bracelet on as I was finishing getting ready. He got my dad and husband set up for our first looks and walked us through everything so smoothly. He was efficient and thoughtful with our family and bridal party photos, making sure to get all of the shots and combinations we wanted. During the ceremony and reception, Roland was there the entire time but it never felt like he was in our faces or that the camera was distracting us and that was really nice. He respected our tight timeline and was very purposeful about making sure we were exactly where we needed to be, when we needed to be there. After all the festivities for the day were over, later that night, Roland texted me a photo of our ceremony that he took on his phone. We are treasuring that one photo and eagerly awaiting the rest. We couldn’t recommend Roland Andrade Photography highly enough.

Rolando was incredibly amazing! Super helpful throughout the entire process, he made sure all of our questions, and requests were fulfilled. It was so important to me to find a photographer that understood our Latino traditions and Rolando did... All pictures came out beautifully. Could not have chosen a better photographer!

It was great working with Roland Andrade Photography for our wedding this fall. Roland worked with us from the beginning to help accommodate a packet that best fit our needs. He was also very responsive and in constant communication with us to prepare for our wedding day timeline. Our wedding photos look amazing and we are thankful he was able to capture the perfect moments. Best recommendations!

I cannot say enough great things to say about Roland. Truly we were blown away by his ability to capture our wedding day so perfectly. The quality of his photos were impeccable. We are so happy we chose him to capture our big day. We will continue to look at these photos to years to come. I highly recommend him.

Roland is amazing! We chose him to capture our 10 year vow renewal in Riviera Maya, Mexico. He was extremely punctual, professional, and helped the timeline flow as smooth as possible. He went around the resort looking for the best photo locations and lighting. Our day was captured perfectly. Thanks so much Roland!

Couldn't have asked for a better photographer. Not only were the pictures perfect- in lighting, position, color, etc... But Roland gave us support -emotinal, patience, enthusiasm. I cannot say enough good things, we are grateful we chose him. Thank you, Roland. You will always be in our memories, and in our hearts, on the happiest day of our lives.

Roland is amazing! He is so professional and was wonderful to work with. He spent so much time on the phone helping us with the planning process, especially with the wedding timeline. He gave us lots of suggestions to make things go smoothly. The day of, he was so easy to work with. He was able to capture great photos and made us feel at ease. We are not fond of pictures but he gave us lots of direction and he was so patient with us. He's also quite the dog whisperer.

Roland is fantastic! It was wonderful to work with him, from shooting our "engagement pictures" to the day of the wedding. He was attentive to all of the details of the ceremony and party, to our wants and needs and even spent an extra hour during our wedding party. His final product was however the most remarkable of all. It was sensitive, artistic, beautiful! I couldn't be happier with my wedding pictures and everytime I see them, it feels like I can re-live that special day. Thank you Roland!

Roland is amazing! We were so impressed by his work from our engagement shoot to our wedding day. He is very professional, punctual, patient and detail oriented. He was more than we expected. Months later and we still look back at our beautiful photos. Thank you! We highly recommend him and have been doing so since our wedding day to all of our family and friends. Cannot wait to work with him again. Maternity photoshoot next!

Professionalism at its finest! We hired Roland to shoot our wedding at Geneva IL, and it was our first photoshoot ever. My wife and I are new to this, so for us it feels a little awkward. This experience turned out to be fun, natural, and enjoyable. We are so happy that we hired him to capture this moment and the new milestone of our life being a married couple. Thanks Roland!

Saying Roland is an incredible photographer is an understatement. I have had such amazing experiences with him and can not wait to keep finding more reasons to use his services. He genuinely cares about catering his final product to YOUR liking and doesn't treat you like you're only a contract. He is reliable, professional, personable and kind. We have received SO MANY compliments from friends and family about how beautiful our pictures always look. I would recommend his services to everyone in need!

Rolando is great! He took our engagement & wedding photos and we loved them. He is very professional and it's easy to feel comfortable with him. He listened to our concerns and what's most important to us as a couple, but also gave us professional advice to help us come up with the best outcome. Our photos are beautiful, they have great lighting and are clear. He captured all the moments we want to keep forever. We highly recommend working with him!

Choosing a photographer is by far one of the most daunting tasks of wedding planning. With so many great choices, it could feel a little overwhelming. Rolando is Amazing from start to end, our initial meting covered all my questions and concerns. With an obvious attention to detail and a professional portfolio, I was sure to get everything I expected, and more!! I’m was blown away with the picture quality and turn around time!

We are so happy that we chose Roland to capture the essence of our wedding day! From our very first meeting, we knew Roland was the right photographer for us. He is professional, organized, trustworthy and cares about each and every one of his clients. He goes above and beyond to get the best and most creative shots. We are thrilled with our photos and we have recommended him to many of our friends - and will continue to recommend him to anyone in need of a photographer. Hands down, he is one of the best wedding photographers in Chicago!

Stop looking! You found the photographer you need! We chose Roland to capture our wedding after one glance at his portfolio. My husband and I are not very photogenic, plus I don't have one creative bone in my body, so I was so glad to have Roland there to direct the shoot and make us look like models. All of our pictures came out better than I could have ever imagined! On top of his technical skill and professionalism he was an absolute joy to work with. We laughed the whole shoot and it reflects in the pictures. Thank you! We couldn't be happier!

Rolando did our engagement, bridal shower & wedding photography back in July 2017. He did an amazing job capturing our biggest moments. He always gave great direction, he’s extremely easy and comfortable to be around with and has a great ear when I shared ideas I had as a bride. He truly made it fun to pose and enjoy the moment. I highly recommend him!
