This Is Feeling Photo + Video

fessional, and incredibly easy to work with. Communication leading up to the big day was smooth and reassuring — every question was answered quickly, every detail was thought through, and they made the entire experience feel effortless. On the wedding day, the team showed up ready to go and immediately put us at ease. They were warm, friendly, and knew exactly how to guide us without ever making anything feel posed or forced. They captured everything — the big emotional moments, the tiny in-between ones, and all the energy in the room — without ever feeling intrusive. Their balance of directing when needed and letting moments naturally unfold was spot-on. The photos and videos themselves are stunning. They somehow managed to bottle up the joy, energy, and emotion of the day in a way we’ll treasure forever. The edits are clean, timeless, and beautifully done, and the video footage feels like a true story rather than a montage. They also provided multiple formats and options, which we really appreciated.  Our families and friends haven’t stopped talking about how talented the team was — and we couldn’t agree more. If you’re looking for a photographer and videographer who are professional, creative, and genuinely invested in making your wedding memories perfect, we couldn’t recommend This is Feeling more highly. 

comfortable, and capturing our joy. The photos & video perfectly captured the essence of our special day.

ecommend them for any occasion! 

ssions, but our photographer, Maloos, made the entire experience so easy and natural. Nothing felt overly posed or stiff. Her guidance on posing helped us look our best while still feeling authentic, and the dance floor action shots were so fun and full of energy! Our friends and family have been raving about the photos, and we absolutely love them too. On our wedding day, they handled the intense heat with such professionalism and even suggested pivoting to a slightly different shaded location that would photograph better – a decision we're so grateful for. They captured both the grand moments and the small, intimate details that made our day special, with shots that were truly artful and creative. These aren't just photos; they're genuine works of art. If you're looking for a photographer who combines artistic vision with a warm, adaptable approach, we highly recommend This Is Feeling. They truly captured the magic of our day.

pturing not only stunning posed portraits and group shots, but candid and spontaneous moments with each other and our loved ones that we will treasure forever. We’re so impressed with their work, and cannot tell you how thankful we are to have these incredible memories captured so well. We highly, highly recommend working with This Is Feeling.

nteracted with—was professional, helpful, and brought such a calm, grounded energy to the process. On a day that can feel hectic, their laid-back yet totally capable vibe was exactly what we needed. We chose the film and digital package and are absolutely in love with the results. Not only do we have stunning portraits of the two of us, but the candid moments they captured of our friends and family are some of our most cherished memories. The photos are full of life, emotion, and authenticity—we’ll treasure them forever. Thank you, TIF, for capturing the magic of our day so beautifully!

l save some money. Or maybe you don’t even believe in love so you’re like “who knows how long this marriage will last so let’s just get any photographer that shows up in our google search”. Maybe you’re just boring people so you don’t really care so the same standard boring wedding pics are fine for you. So sad. But if you really want something good, like REALLY good, I’m sayin stand out good, creative but not nebulous/pretentious like some hipster crap, but unique still refined, quality expressive of who YOU are as a couple…. you go with This Is Feeling. No question. Unparalleled. In all seriousness we planned and hired well (as much as is possible for businesses you have to hope that deliver on what they say for a hopefully one time event) and out of the dozen whatever venders, This is Feeling was like one of two that actually cared and got everything right. Most of these vendors are just tryin to make easy money with all this wedding markup market stuff. They don’t care about your one wedding of hundreds they do. This is Feeling does care though. They’re proud of their work and excellent at it. You can hire them, rest easy, and focus on worrying about the other stuff.

ly fantastic to work with—professional, easy-going, and made the entire process seamless. Coordination, payment, and logistics were extremely straightforward, which was a huge relief. On the day of the event, he was incredibly flexible and skilled at coordinating photos without disrupting the flow of the day. His ability to adapt and ensure everything went smoothly was invaluable. Even better, he delivered the final photos in an extremely prompt manner, which was such a bonus. Beyond his professionalism, what truly stood out was the quality of his work. Ben captured so many beautiful, heartfelt moments, and the emotion he brought out in each still shot was remarkable. His artistry is unparalleled, and his company’s name perfectly reflects the passion and talent he brings to his craft. I cannot recommend This Is Feeling Photography enough! I only wish I had known about him for my wedding. Without a doubt, I will be hiring him again for future events. Thank you for capturing these memories so beautifully!

nd understood our vision. We just received our photos last week from our wedding on 9/21/24. We were blown away with how beautiful the photos came out. They were edited so nice and they captured the moments so well. I highly recommend working with This Is Feeling Photo + Video!

with Maloos, to delivery of the photos, we couldn't be happier! Our photos are gorgeous! We're not very comfortable in front of a camera and Maloos captured so many lovey photos of us and our guests. I'm truly in awe. Maloos was incredibly professional, prompt, and her experience showed! She was so easy to work with and she's a ninja with a camera! Just a perfect experience! I would and do recommend This is Feeling to everyone planning a wedding!

.

photos that were well done. Most look awkward. We really don’t like them, and it’s a shame because we had a stunning wedding. It’s actually really really upsetting still. And our wedding was almost two years ago. There is 1-2 photos of the 1,000+ photos taken that we thought were nice. We will focus on showing out children and grandchildren those two photos. But sincerely disappointed that this photographer flubbed the captured moments and memories and record of this once in a lifetime moment. Deeply regret our decision to go with this photographer/company. And would urge other people to look elsewhere.

ere easy to work with, clear about pricing, and fun to be around on our wedding day. We didn't want our day to feel like a photoshoot, but we did want a few dramatic portraits. Now, having just received our photos, Misa and Krystal hit the nail on the head. We are absolutely in awe. Kevin was our videographer, and we are eagerly awaiting his work. Without a doubt would choose This is Feeling over and over again. They were a calming presence on a hectic day that goes by too fast. We appreciate them so much for capturing the moments that turn our day into a story. Cannot recommend enough.

not disappoint! The team was super communicative and easy to work with. We were paired with Philip for our wedding day photos and they were amazing! Looking through them truly was like reliving the joy of the day. Philip was professional and made us feel comfortable and for a lot of captured moments I didn’t even realize he was there! He was able to flex with us with any changes to the timeline and still captured so many precious moments that we will treasure forever. Thank you Philip and everyone at This is Feeling!

portraits. Really great photographer and I can’t recommend him enough.

eate beautiful images. We were looking for moody images that candidly told the story of our wedding day and the team did just that. Misa pulled our vision together. During our discovery call we shared some inspiration images with him and he helped guide us create a list of group shots. He was professional and incredibly kind the day of. The photos arrived and we couldn't be any happier. None of our pictures felt staged or overly produced and we were so impressed with the number of shots. We truly feel connected to the photos and can't wait to look back at these in the years to come. Thank you This Is Feeling!!!

ns. The images are not only stunning but also reflect the genuine emotions of our special day. His professionalism, creativity, and friendly demeanor made the entire process so enjoyable and really put us at ease. We are truly grateful for the beautiful memories immortalized through his lens. We highly recommended the This Is Feeling photography team.

ideography and he worked exceptionally well with the videographer. We also worked with Ben and Stefi throughout the process. Everyone was extremely helpful, organized, and responsive. Would highly recommend!

was expecting to see a few hundred nice but I was blown away because we received back over 1,000 fantastic pictures that perfectly captured our night. It's hard to pick any favorite moment, as there are so many evidence of this great photography!

get to know what we wanted and never felt like we were being marketed/sold to. We were looking for our wedding photos to candidly tell the story of our wedding day and all of the emotions, and not just the clean, posed portraits looking right at the camera - and the team definitely delivered. We had a great day with Audrey (our lead photographer) and we knew we were excited to see the photos afterwards, but were even more pleasantly surprised to see the pictures and the angles we didn't even know were taken. With the way they documented the whole day, we have absolutely no regrets about having deciding against getting a videographer.

oments of our special day. We were extremely grateful that we found such an exceptional photographer in This Is Feeling. The photographs that we received following our wedding were absolutely beautiful. They captured the best moments that my wife and I were a part of as well as some of the moments that we may have missed during our busy wedding day. Our favorite part about working with This Is Feeling was their great communication throughout the process. They made sure they understood the types of photos we wanted and ensured their photographers were well-prepared. Overall, our experience with This is Feeling was nothing short of amazing.

ly produced and we were so impressed with the number of shots from different views at our ceremony. Ben was stealth - we don't remember seeing him moving about but he captured the best moments. There was no stress or concern working with This is Feeling and we didn't have to give them very much direction. It really helped to have a photographer with familiarity of our venue and such a high level of expertise for weddings. We were so happy with all of the photographs and couldn't believe that we loved nearly every single one. I would recommend working with This is Feeling for any project!

e paid. I let this sit for several months so I could calm down before writing a review. This will be long but hopefully keep in mind this is my personal experience and not my friends experience (different photographers from this is feeling). It started with not meeting our photographer over the phone till the week of the wedding. We didn’t ask for a lot. We were a pretty chill couple I feel like. However, we specifically asked our photographer for 2 main things: pictures with our immediate and extended families AND pictures of us with each table doing the table song game thing. We got neither. Then one picture of my one extended family, my moms cousins head is cut off by someone else. Our photographer also felt very..how do I say this nicely..new at her job? She did not check out the venue ahead of time (wish I knew she could) so she didn’t do many pictures around the venue. During the father daughter dance, I invited all fathers and daughters out and I had to tell her to stop taking pics of me with my dad and get the rest of the guests on the floor. She didn’t capture a good portion of our guests in candid shots so I literally have no idea who was at my wedding. My maid of honor had a hard time working with her as well while trying to do pictures. Oh, and there’s a pic of a family friend and I going in for a hug and it looks like we’re about to make out..like? That’s a good pic to add in to our album? I wish I printed the schedule of events and the pictures I wanted for the photographer bc she did not have that readily available (on her phone) and seemed to struggle with staying organized. She may have benefitted from having an assistant or second photographer to help her navigate the day cuz it just seemed like it was too much for her. And I had guests coming up to my mom telling her that they felt bad the photographer looked new and stressed out. So it wasn’t just me. Pros: Most of the pics are beautiful, the videographer (despite putting in the ONE part of the speech I didn’t want in the video) was amazing. We had an issue where I reached out to Ben about extending the time and never heard back (he was on vacation!). The videographer was so accommodating and so good. We wanted it extended a bit because something happened with our dinner where it went over the scheduled time. So we were all eating still and we wanted dancing photos. They extended it for us no issues but it was stressful for me to be trying to enjoy my wedding, talk to guests, and navigate this craziness. Definitely do your research before booking anyone. Get a day of coordinator that is not the venue coordinator. Come up with a better photography plan with your photographer and print a schedule for them for day of. Don’t rely on them to have it. I wish I saw the red flags earlier and wish I could redo this experience. Especially for the price. This is my experience and not necessarily everyone else’s. I just needed to get this info out there so others could learn from my mistakes.

to and Video, they were so fun, professional, and just so nice to work with. From the few pictures we have seen so far, they have captured our day so perfectly, and we can't wait to see the rest!

fortable hanging around with because they're there with you all day...on a very important day too. Mike was our photographer the day of and he was awesome. Our photos turned out beautifully, showing the emotional moments and the fun ones. Ahead of time, he was very attentive to what we were looking for and what would be important to capture and that came through in the results. Overall, would definitely recommend!

d not only so many gorgeous moments, but the small, candid ones too. They are true professionals in every sense!

cial events. Mike and his team on our wedding day were a pleasure to be around. They made us and our wedding party super comfortable to be around the cameras. When we received our collection of photos a couple weeks later, it honestly felt like we were taken back to our wedding day reliving every emotion we felt. Our photos are so special to us and we will cherish them for years to come.

able to remember all of the details and emotions of the day throughout the photographs capturing all of the important moments through the eyes of each and every one of our guests. We never felt "posed" or fake, and even the posed shots of me and my husband felt natural and real. Our lead photographer, Misa, had subtle cues and techniques to help us all relax, and even captured our young nieces and nephews at their cutest moments. We are in love with our photos, and will cherish them for years to come. We did have to wait the maximum time listed on the website for our photos to be ready, but I assure you, they were absolutely worth the wait.

worth the wait! Highly recommend

g day. Like their Instagram says, no bull-shit. They asked what we wanted and they delivered. Their questionnaire was simple yet asked us exactly what we were looking for. It helped them pair us with the right photographer and we’re so glad we got paired with Maloos. We’re not a photogenic couple and she made us feel so comfortable. She also took control of our large bridal party and made sure to get everyone looking and smiling. When we got our pictures, they were everything we wanted and more. Maloos captured moments we weren’t around to see so going through them gave us an insight on how other people enjoyed the night. Because of This is Feeling, whenever we look at them we get to relive our wedding day.

got everything we could have dreamed for and more. We worked with Misa who was punctual, easy to get along with, and had some fun ideas for unique photos. We were looking for more artistically framed photos and lots of candid moments to be captured and he did a fantastic job with both of these things! While my husband and I were going through the photos we just got back, we were marveling over how even the posed photos have a certain candid vibe that we love. We're also thrilled with how quickly we received all of our photos back from them, only 2 months! Overall, Misa and This is Feeling has provided a wonderful experience and we couldn't be happier with the photographic memories we'll be cherishing for the rest of our lives <3

secure a new date so we could keep them as our photographers. They were extremely thorough in gathering all of the information up front on what kind of photos we were looking for, important groups of people we wanted to have captured, our own personal preferences, and a lot more details so I felt confident from the beginning that they understood exactly what we wanted. Their photographer that was assigned to us really took time to get to know us and it made me feel a lot more comfortable before our wedding day. Working with them on our wedding day was absolutely seamless - they were able to capture so many candid moments that I didn't even know happened, so it was amazing to get the pictures back and be able to relive the day. Their photographers listened to everything we wanted, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Their photographers are kind, professional, creative, and extremely talented - I'm glad I completely trusted them to scout locations at our venue because our photographer picked out places I never would have, and the photos are amazing. Their unique style is unlike other wedding albums I've seen, so we'll cherish these photos forever.

so that when we looked through all of the photos it was like reliving the entire day. From the beginning, Ben (the owner) made the planning process SO EASY. Planning a wedding during this crazy pandemic was insane but This Is Feeling made the entire photography element a breeze. We were assigned to Mike for both our engagement session and our wedding day and he was the PERFECT fit. He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and got some AMAZING photos. All of our guests also loved the photos - so much so, in fact, that many people said that pictures taken of them were some of the best professional photos they have ever taken! Mike was dedicated to getting perfect shots and he and his assistant Pavel were the perfect team. We LOVE all of our photos and could not have asked for better photographers. Thank you SO MUCH Mike, Pavel, and everyone from This Is Feeling! If you hire them, you will have beautiful photos that will last a lifetime, and you will NOT regret your decision.

rescheduling of our event. Prior to the event we had a few calls and the process in which the team gathers the information from us was super helpful - thinking about what kind of pictures we wanted beforehand and talking that through with Ben made sure we got what we wanted. We felt very comfortable with Ben and it was easy to make quick changes or grab him for a picture when needed. It was nice to have someone there that we felt comfortable with as a photographer and that was working to get the right shots. We knew the pictures would be great, but they were so much better than we had thought. Getting to see the pictures the first time was lovely. The slideshow they created was beautiful and even brought tears to my husband's eyes. If you are looking for amazing pictures and an amazing group of photographers that are easy to work with you will want to get in touch with This is Feeling. You will not be disappointed!

ally quickly. We were really excited about their photography style and values and they did not disappoint. We had Samuel as our lead and Kina as our assistant the day of the wedding and they were AWESOME! They both made us feel relaxed and we had so much fun during all the picture moments. When we got our photos, they completely exceeded our expectations. They told the story of the day so perfectly and took us right back to everything we felt that day. We love all the candid, natural moments they captured. Couldn’t have asked for more!

oing, professional, reliable, and fun to work with. It was such a relief! The pictures turned out amazing and he really captured everything I wanted. Thank you!!

ks so natural and fun. We ended having to cancel our wedding and elope in Vegas and Ben was able to set us up with a photographer there who was just as delightful to work with. He even mailed them a camera to use for taking video! Both the video and our photos turned out like a dream and we could not be happier. We weren't able to have a lot of family with us so having these photos and our video to share with them definitely helped them celebrate with us as much as possible. If we could do it all over again, we would 100% choose This is Feeling again and again!

d listened to what we wanted for our wedding day. We are so thankful to have found This Is Feeling. The photographs turned out amazing and best part of it was that we had so much fun taking pictures! Can't wait to continue to work with Ben & his team.

ut there but I chose This is Feeling because I was interested in one of a kind, real candid moments captured forever. Their photos are like pieces of art and that made them stand out to me above all the other cookie cutter companies. Cost was a very important factor for me and I thought they were extremely reasonable for their artistic talents. I'm actually thankful for Covid as I get to have 2 years worth of photos taken from This is Feeling. They shot my ceremony and will shoot the reception on our one year. I'm already really looking forward to seeing how those will turn out after seeing how beautiful the ceremony pictures are, thank you again!

sister that would feel as if they day happened yesterday. Stumbling upon Ben and This is Feeling Photography was like winning the lotto! He made the initial process to easy and friendly. Easy to communicate with, affordable, and with offerings that were different than other photographers. I liked the mix of romantic compositions, warm tones, and also the detail photos of guests hugging or dancing or just laughing. It was perfect! Unfortunately, due to 2020 things, my sister and her fiancé have postponed the wedding but the compassion and understanding from This is Feeling made the blow easier. I would absolutely recommend Ben and the team to anyone looking for photos and video that feel real and honest!

everything in stride and perfectly executed our vision for the video and moments we wanted to include. We worked with Kevin; who was kind, funny, and definitely adapted quickly to our very large and chaotic wedding weekend. He worked really well with our photographer without us having to prompt a meeting, between him and our two photographers, we are thrilled with the results and what was captured at our wedding.

and on our wedding day and we are ecstatic with the results. They captured the best moments allowing us to relive our magical day for the rest of our lives. We also highly recommend the ZippyBooth as a fun way to engage guests and capture other amazing moments of the evening. I would highly recommend Ben and his team for your big day :)

lped us develop a custom-tailored package that included just the services we wanted. Our photographers were professionals who captured both the big & small moments. The GIFYYY photo booth was a huge hit at the reception, easy & fun to use. A word of advice: the wedding day goes by in a blur & we wish we could relive every minute; since that’s not possible This Is Feeling provided us with digital memories to last a lifetime!

the day and the city. We didn’t want to do a lot of posed photos more natural and they totally heard us on that. Took us to the most wonderful spots all over the to showcase us and Chicago. They answered so MANY of our questions and were always so quick to respond and help out. I mean Mike even spotted us $ on our wedding day for hot dogs and yes the pictures of me not spilling on my wedding dress are amazing. They captured beautiful moments of us and all the people important to us. I am so amazed by all the photos and probably go through the album weekly. So they are highly recommended by us!
