My husband and I booked Xcite Photo for our wedding in July and were amazed by all of the work and professionalism of the team. Andrew and his team were so wonderful and took amazing photos for our big day! He even recorded and created some TikTok reels for me and the bridesmaids while getting ready. We booked a video, photos, and a photo booth and it was extremely affordable! We even received our wedding photos two weeks after the wedding day and could enjoy looking at them on our honeymoon. The quality of everything we ordered was incredible. I would definitely recommend this company!
We first met the Xcite team at a wedding we were attending and liked their vibe so much we looked into them for our wedding. It was one of the best decisions we made.
The quality of the pictures and videos are absolutely amazing! We are thrilled with the end results. I'll recommend them to anyone who asks!!
Once we spoke with Andrew, we knew hands down that his company would be our photographer/videographer for our wedding. He was very personable and knowledge, and his passion for photography was evident. The pricing options for the packages were on point. The engagement photos came out perfect and he was so easy to work with too. He even allowed us to bring and include our dog in the photos. At our wedding, he and his team captured exactly what we wanted both with photos, video, and a Photo Booth. We could not be happier with the final products, and look forward to using him for future holiday, maternity, and family photos. You will not regret choosing Xcite Photo.
Any questions?
We LOVED Xcite Photo and cannot recommend them enough! Kristen, Chris, and Mike were kind, patient, and took absolutely beautiful pictures/videos. They put so much care into capturing our day. The quality of their work is amazing!!
Andrew is great to work with. Very responsive, professional, kind. Very easy to work with. So happy we chose him for our wedding day!!
***5 stars***
It was a pleasure to work with Andrew and the Xcite Team. They were professional, thoughtful and organized. They were also very flexible in ensuring our unique needs were met when it came to the style of photos we wanted, etc. Andrew and the Xcite Team were proactive in their communication. They were quick to respond to any questions we had and were extremely patient and understanding with us. We truly could not have asked for a better team!
I would recommend Andrew and the Xcite Team for any and all events, especially if you are hoping for something that is seamless and stress-free!
AMAZING.. AMAZING.. AMAZING!!!! Andrew and his wife are an amazing team and go above and beyond to make sure all of you wedding photo wants and needs are met to the fullest!! My grandpa had passed in January and there were a few things I had to honor him; Andrew and his wife made extra effort to make sure all the special moments were captured as if he was there!!.. Also I got married on the 4Th of July; prior to I had asked Andrew to make sure he got some good fire work shots.. WOW. is all I have to say after seeing the out come. Not only did he get the fire work shots, but he made to capture the moment with the right lighting and everything!! He also did some amazing sunset phots! I can not recommend them enough to do your big day!!
We are so thankful to have XcitePhoto capture such amazing memories for us at our wedding!

We also are very thankful and surprised with how fast they were able to get our photos back to us! We now have wonderful memories to look at forever all thanks to XcitePhoto! <3
Andrew and his team photographed our friends wedding last year and following their wedding, we just knew we had to book him at ours!
He was so professional and prompt with answering questions and customized packages to fit our needs. After our initial consultation, I felt at ease and knew he would work his magic!
On our wedding day, we had 2 photographers and 1 videographer. They arrived promptly, embraced the chaos which is girls getting ready on wedding morning, and made us feel so comfortable. By the end of the night, they felt just like part of the family!
We got our photos back SO quick and they are absolutely stunning! They captured every moment, both big and small, so beautifully. You certainly will not regret booking your special moments with them!
Our wedding day was made even more special, thanks to the incredible work of Kristen and the Xcite Photo team. I am thrilled to give them a well-deserved 5/5 stars for their outstanding photography services. Kristen's kindness and professionalism were evident from the beginning. She not only made us feel at ease but also ensured that everything ran smoothly throughout the day. Her ability to keep to the schedule without any stress was truly commendable, allowing us to enjoy every moment of our special day. The inclusion of a photo booth by Xcite Photo was a brilliant addition to our celebration. Our guests absolutely loved it, and it turned out to be a major hit. The scrapbook album with messages from guests alongside their photo booth pictures, props, and an extra copy for guests to keep added a delightful touch to the entire experience. It was a wonderful way for our loved ones to leave their mark on our special day. One of the highlights of Kristen's photography expertise was the creative photo game she suggested. Running to each table within a song period to capture moments with all our guests was an absolute joy. It not only provided unique and candid shots but also allowed our guests to have a blast during the process. Kristen's creativity truly added a special and memorable touch to our wedding day. Kristen and her team went above and beyond to fulfill all our photography wishes. From capturing specific moments on our shot list to ensuring that every detail was beautifully preserved, they exceeded our expectations. We couldn't be happier with how professional, beautiful, and meaningful our wedding photos turned out. Lastly, the speed at which we received our photos was remarkable. The prompt delivery allowed us to relive our wedding day almost instantly. In conclusion, if you're looking for a photographer who not only captures moments but also adds a touch of creativity and professionalism to your wedding day, Kristen and Xcite Photo are the perfect choice. Our heartfelt thanks to Kristen and the entire team for creating lasting memories that we will cherish forever.
The best photographers/videographer! So friendly, so fun! They totally helped us with poses, and took TONS of shots! I can’t wait to see our photos. We worked with Kristen, Dayona, and Mike. They were AWESOME. such a great team and will be recommending to friends and family when I need!
We can’t say enough good things, Andrew and James were fantastic. From the very first contact with the XCITE photo team all the way to the end they made everything easy and handled everything very professionally. Our photos are beyond beautiful, we are in love with them. So much we had a hard time choosing favorites. Guests are even raving about the quality of the photos. We are not photogenic people either so we were a little worried but they managed to capture us beautifully, and somehow manage to not make it feel like we were taking 1000 pictures. We can’t wait to see our video!!
Selecting a photographer is an investment. Andrew at Xcite Photo will not disappoint. They have of package options to customize your needs and their pricing is completely reasonable. The experience of having Andrew and his crew at our wedding day was stress free and the photos and our video captured our day perfectly.
We had Andrew as our videoographer at our wedding on 9/10/23 and could not have been happier with how everything went. He was timely, professional, and there for all of our critical moments throughout the day and evening. We were both very happy, and totally recommend Andrew and XCite Photo & Films!!
Andrew was absolutely WONDERFUL! He is so extremely professional and 1000% helpful in getting the perfect shot. He helped fluff the dress, veil, held flowers, anything that you needed he was right there doing it! He asked several times if there were additional shots we were looking to get with guests or additionally family! His photos are absolutely incredible and I would highly recommend if you are looking for someone that wants to capture every moment of your special day with ease 😊
Andrew and his team (Kristen, Katy, and Matt) were amazing to work with and are wonderful people. Choosing a photographer and videographer for your wedding day is daunting. There can be a lot of options and price points that are grabbing for your attention. We are so glad we picked Xcite Photos and Films. Their work is the highest quality and their prices are very reasonable, I don't think they can be beat in that department. We were very happy with the photos and videos that they captured for us on our wedding day. We had our engagement photos at Cantigny Park with Kristen, our getting ready photos at Hotel Arista, and our ceremony and reception at Meson Sabika with Andrew, Katy, and Matt. Andrew and his team all had prior experience taking photos at all of these places. That experience was so valuable as it made the process so easy on our end. They knew where to go and coached us in the poses we would take for the photos. The process was efficient and fun! My wife and I are so awkward in front of a camera and do not consider ourselves photogenic yet Andrew and his team made us feel comfortable and did their magic in making the photos turn out so well. They are very relaxed, calm, patient, and accommodating in the midst of what is a very chaotic wedding day and meeting our expectations and staying on time. They even captured our Tea Ceremony during our wedding day and have done a lot of weddings with different customs and traditions. Their photobooth and props were also a huge hit at our wedding. They are great professionals.
The turn around time for our photos was extremely fast, within two weeks of our wedding. And our video came out in three weeks. That was greatly appreciated!
When you hire Andrew, you know you are hiring someone who genuinely cares about you and your wedding day and capturing the best moments for you. For our wedding day specifically, it was raining/drizzling on and off all day. We planned to have our ceremony outdoors and it was not projected to rain come our ceremony time. But with the uncertain weather, our venue wanted to respect our request to have it outdoors but was hinting it would be best for it to be indoors for their staff which was understandable. Andrew nudged us to have it outdoors and wanted to honor our original vision for our wedding. We ended up having our ceremony outdoors and it turned out so beautiful and the pictures also turned out fantastic. A lifetime of thank you's from us to them. We highly recommend Xcite Photos and Films!
XcitePhoto is AMAZING! Andrew and Kristen are the most professional, kind, incredible photographers around, and captured the absolute best moments of our big day. I would highly recommend them to anyone getting married, whether it is a small, private ceremony or a large, extravagant event. My husband and I absolutely loved our pictures and are so thankful that we are able to relive our day in the best way possible. They are even really timely with sending the final products as well! :) Thank you XcitePhoto!!
Right from the beginning, Andrew and his team were fantastic! Their professionalism and expertise were truly exceptional. Our wedding was on July 23rd, and we were amazed when we received our stunning wedding photos just 18 days later! Despite having a large 300-guest wedding, Andrew and his team were able to capture every detail and every guest with ease. We are overjoyed with the results and would highly recommend XcitePhoto without hesitation!
We used Xcite Photography for our engagement photoshoot and wedding and we couldn’t be happier with the service. Andrew, Kristen, Mike and Chris were so easy to work with and they made us feel so comfortable when taking photos. The final photos and videos were better than we could imagine and they had a quick turnaround time. I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. Using Xcite Photography was one of the best decisions we made when wedding planning!
Xcite photo was amazing!! They took the best care of us on our wedding day and captured every single moment! I am so happy with the outcome of our photos! If you don't know who to book, Xcite photo is the way to go!!
Kristen and Chris were great with everything from the suggestions and tips from the pre-event call through the conclusion of the event.
They were a pleasure to work with, they effortlessly blended in with the guests, making everyone feel comfortable and at ease and capturing genuine smiles, tears of happiness, and heartfelt interactions without interrupting the flow of the evening of our reception.
Andrew and the Xcite team shared our big day with us 2 weeks ago at The Renaissance Hotel Chicago and it was an amazing experience! He and his co-photographer made the day truly perfect. They were efficient, communicative, and friendly. My fiancee and I are so bad at posing and not looking awkward in photos lol but Andrew was so good at getting candid shots and making us feel comfortable posing! We haven't even gotten our photos back yet and I will likely review again once we do, but I wanted to share my experience the day of. I was referred to Xcite by my maid of honor who used them years back. She had an awesome experience too!!
Xcite Photo was wonderful to work with for our wedding. Andrew and Kristen were incredibly helpful in the upfront planning and constantly communicated with us when we had questions. Our day-of team of Joe, Diana and Matt did an awesome job throughout the day in capturing all of the important moments, from getting ready through the end of the night. The team put a lot of thought into the pictures taken and came up with some unique and fun ideas to capture. The photobooth at our reception was a hit and was easy to use. Xcite Photo delivers a ton of value regardless of your wedding day needs and we will be recommending them to anyone we know getting married.
Loved working with Andrew and his team! They were very easy to get in touch with, flexible to what we wanted, and made the photo taking process so smooth. My husband and I both said the day after the wedding how taking all of the photos were one of our favorite parts of the day because Andrew made them so easy and so fun! And our photos are even more fun to look at and share, I still look at them all the time and choose a new favorite each time! The video footage is also even more fun and special to watch, highly recommend getting both photos and video footage!
From the start, Andrew and his team were amazing! Between planning the engagement photo shoot and the wedding day he was spot on! He had awesome ideas for a couple who doesn’t think they are photogenic. Our pictures came out beautiful and had such a quick turnaround time, we recommend Xcitephoto to the moon and back!
Xcite photo was a great company to work with! We would highly recommend them because of their great service and quality of work. We used them as a referral for our wedding photography, and were glad we did! They had competitive prices and good communication throughout the whole process. Andrew and his team are the best!
I've worked with Andrew and Xcite Photo over many years and asked him to do my own wedding. He is not only a great friend but truly a master at his craft. He was very professional throughout the planning process. Andrew explained everything to us and answered all of our questions. His photography and videography services are top notch. We are so happy we chose him and he was definitely our best vendor by far. Xcitephoto is worth every penny and we will always recommend Xcitephoto to anyone.
Wow! Andrew and his team did an amazing job at capturing my wedding day! Our pictures came out beautiful. They made sure that we got every picture and pose we wanted without hesitation. I was thoroughly impressed with the amount of photos taken as well. There were so many to choose from that it was hard for us to pick our favorites because they were all so good! The photobooth that was included in our package was a huge hit with our guests! I highly recommend considering Xcite Photo to capture the most important day of your life. I promise, you will not be disappointed!
Andrew and his team were amazing to work with! Very professional and knowledgeable in their line of work. My husband and I got married October 8th and received our wedding photos 3 weeks later! Our photos are breathtaking, they did an amazing job in making sure every little detail was captured and everyone there was captured! When we received our video back, it had me crying throughout the whole thing! I can tell so much time and effort was put into making our video so special. We also did engagement session with Andrew and again, blew us away with his work! I highly highly recommend Xcite photography!!
You will not regret booking with xcitephoto!! They are such a great team and you will be obsessed with their work!!! Amazing pricing as well!! Kristen is the best!!!!!
We used Xcite for our wedding and we loved the communication, the timeliness, flexibility, and the final photos! We would highly recommend hiring Xcite for any event as they are priced fair and very professional!
Andrew and the team at Xcite were fantastic! The pictures came out so beautifully!!
I would HIGHLY recommend Xcite photo and films for your wedding photography and videography! Everyone there was so professional, kind, and organized. They listened to and fulfilled all my desires regarding my photos and videos, I can’t believe how beautiful everything turned out. They had such a variety of affordable packages to choose from depending on what you are looking for! They truly captured the beauty of our wedding day and gave us photos and videos to cherish for the rest of our lives.
We are so happy with Andrew's work and would like to sincerely thank the entire team at Xcitephoto! Andrew and his team were with us all day and the photos turned out AMAZING! We also opted to have a videographer and are soooo glad we did! Our video montage is PERFECT! I am normally not an emotional person, but every time I watch our video, I need to have the Kleenex close by! Thank you again Andrew and team for so perfectly capturing our special day! Your work is amazing and I highly recommend you and your team to all!
The pricing for the photo options was so reasonable compared to other pricing that my now husband and I were seeing when trying to find a photographer. For both my engagement session and wedding photos, we got our galleries back so much quicker than I thought we would (within 3 weeks!)
Kristen and Tyler were amazing with our photography at our wedding. They made us feel so comfortable taking pictures and made it so much fun. All of the pictures turned out so great that it's hard to choose which ones we want for our wedding album!
Andrew and his team were incredible!!! They captured all of our special days special moments and had our photos back to us faster than we could have ever asked for! We are thrilled with our experience with Xcite photo & videography! 10/10 recommend them to anyone searching for a photographer or videographer!
Andrew, Chris, & Matt were the BEST! Andrew was our main photographer, Chris was his sidekick and Matt was our videographer. They all arrived on time and started filming and taking photos right away! They were with us for over 10+ hours and made us all feel comfortable! Great quality service and photos and are so reasonable! We received all of our photos within 3 weeks of our wedding, and all videos within 4 weeks! And it all turned out BEAUTIFUL!! We can't wait to see our album and our canvas as well!
My husband and I got married on 5/27/22 and had the pleasure of working with Xcite Photo. Our main photographer Kristen, second photographer Taylor, and videographer Dan were AMAZING! All three of them were so nice and kind. They captured amazing pictures of our day and were patient with us as we were pulled in different directions throughout the day/night. We also worked with Andrew from Xcite for our engagement shoot, another exceptional experience with him as he captured such beautiful pictures for our engagement around downtown Naperville. The team was so kind and easy to work with from the moment we signed with them up until the wedding and even now as we email back and forth getting the final pictures and video. We can't wait to see the video montage they put together for us. I am so happy we chose Xcite for our special day and would recommend them to any couple that is searching for top-notch and well-priced photography/videography. In our package, we also had a photobooth which was a big hit with our guests! They are extremely professional, talented, and exceeded our expectations. Thank you to the Xcite team for making our day easy and capturing our special day for us!!
I literally cannot say enough about Xcite. They were so understanding and flexible when we had to move our date because of Covid concerns and even photographed our elopement that we had on our original wedding date. They just photographed our bigger wedding this past weekend, and although we obviously haven't got the photos back yet, I'm so confident they'll be amazing based on the photos we received last year. We clicked with our lead photographer Phil immediately at our engagement shoot and have had him working with us since. He's professional, organized, and takes great photos but is also calm, kind, and funny. This year we also had Ben as a videographer and Chris as a second photog, and they were both great too. The photo booth was a great addition and we loved looking through the book. You will not find a better photography company and they're also so much more affordable and flexible than most other photographers we researched. Love love love xcite ❤️
We couldn't have asked for a better group of photographers and videographers to work with. Xcitephoto & films is by far the best value we found in capturing our wedding. Our guests were impressed with their services and said they didn't take pictures because they (Photographers and videographer) were everywhere. We were lucky to find and book with Xcite!
They were also able to capture the bride with her brother who surprised her. Her brother had been deployed, but was given time to come for the wedding. Truly a special moment and captured beautifully by Xcite.
Andrew and his team did such an amazing job for our wedding! We originally had our wedding planned for 2020 but had to change it multiple times. Andrew was so easy going and willing to work with us making the whole experience less stressful on us. We did a small wedding in 2021 and had Xcite do our photos and video and we couldn't have been more excited to have them back for our big wedding in 2022! The pictures and videos from 2021 turned out amazing and the samples we've gotten from our May 2022 wedding are just as amazing! We can't wait to get the rest of the photos and the videos! On the day of our wedding Andrew made sure to get all our requested photos and check in with us to see if there were any additional photos we wanted. We are so happy we picked Xcite to capture both of our special days!
I chose XcitePhoto because their portfolio looked good and their pricing was so reasonable and boy
am I glad I did!!! Andrew and Dianna were so funand easy to work with! My husband and I are both camera shy and hate most pictures of ourselves but they made the process so comfortable and effortless by giving us direction and suggestions while also staying out of the way and capturing some truly beautiful candid moments. We're
currently in the process of choosing pictures for our wedding album that came with the package we purchased and we're having the hardest time! Waaaay too many good options, which is a great problem to have! Highly recommend!!!
I can’t say enough great things about Xcite Photo! Andrew and his team did an AMAZING job with photography/videography for my wedding this past March 2022. We scored a beautiful day weather wise and the pictures turned out better than I had ever imagined! We would definitely recommend Xcite Photo to anyone who is looking for upcoming wedding photography/videography :) great quality for an even better price!
Words cannot express how happy I am that we decided to use Drew and his team for our wedding! From the initial consultation, I knew Drew knows his stuff. He asked questions and wanted to know our vision and needs and just force us into the highest package. Tyler and Chris, our photographers for the day of were a blast to work with! Tyler definitely had great ideas for photos and I cannot wait to see the final products!
Andrew and his team are beyond awesome. We have been working with them for a year and half in planning for our December wedding. I knew we made the right pick after how great our engagement photos came out. On our wedding day they captured all the special moments and went above and beyond all we asked! Andrew did everything on our wedding day to capture the candid moments and fit all our accommodations. He adapted to all the things a wedding day throws at you and make the day all the less stressful. We got our full photos and videos 3 weeks after our wedding, which is incredible! There are multiple packages and pricing to fit anyone’s needs or wants. The communication has also been great even after the wedding. I couldn’t recommend a company any more for your special day!
Choosing Xcite photography was the best Chose I made for my wedding!! (Besides the groom of course lol) Andrew was so nice and super responsive from the beginning! The pictures and videography was seriously even better than I could of imagined. Andrew and his team are so talented and made our day so special! They were there every step of the way and stayed all night through dancing. You will not be disappointed in this amazing team, no matter the occasion they will provide absolute stunning work!!
We were absolutely thrilled everything Xcite Photo had to offer for our wedding day photos. The package was so reasonably priced for the amazing value we got. The team was so professional on the day and made us feel so comfortable. They also were so response during our planning process and really took all the stress off of us. Our pictures and video were delivered within 3-5 weeks of the wedding day and they turned out absolutely amazing. I would definitely recommend them for all your photo/video needs.
I selected for Xcite photo for my wedding photography and videography and I could not be any happier. Andrew and his team were nothing but professional and made me feel at ease on the most important day of my life. The quality of the photos were beyond spectacular. They have a great eye for picking certain sceneries for background that make the day even more memorable. One thing I have to recommend, is the videography package where they make a mini movie set to music. I love, love, love my little movie. Everyone I have shown it too has said it is spectacular. I have watched it everyday for the past month, I just can't get enough. They pick the best parts of your wedding to put in this movie so you can easily relive the moments whenever you want. If I have another instance where I need a photographer, believe me, these guys will be getting the call again.
We had the honor of working with Andrew and his team for our wedding in October of 2021. He also did our engagement session pre-wedding and was an absolute breeze to work with! We booked with him for photography and videography for our special day and could not be happier with the way things turned out! The photos...amazing, The video... perfection! There is a package for every price point and there are many different add-on options as well. Andrew and his team truly have a passion for this business and it shows in their quality of work! I'd recommend them over and over and over again! His timeline for getting photos and videos back is not even comparable to other companies out there. I had my entire album of photos back in under 2 weeks and my video was to me in about a month.. that is crazy fast! Andrew and his group also had such a laid-back and calming presence. They had no limits and never said no to anything I asked... such an amazing company. If you're thinking about booking.. just do it already - you cannot go wrong!
We had the honor of working with Andrew and his crew for our wedding in August. We had photography, videography, and also had him bring in a photo booth. Working with Andrew was a breeze, he did our engagement shoot and our wedding. We are ecstatic with how the photos came out. The pictures he took were on point and absolutely breathtaking. On top of capturing everything we wanted, he was quick to get our pictures back to us. Andrew was professional and was very fluid with taking pictures on our big day, therefore, no time was wasted. We were able to get all of the pictures we wanted because he was incredibly efficient with everyone's time. Pictures were a big deal to us for our wedding and Xcitephoto knocked it out of the park! We are so thankful for our experience with Andrew, because of him and his crew pictures we are able to look back on every aspect of our day! If you are looking for someone who is easy to work with, amazing quality, and efficient, Xcitephoto is who you want to book with! We 100 percent recommend booking with them! You will not be disappointed!
If you are on the hunt for the best photographer and videographer, look no further, Andrew and his team are one of a kind! They were absolutely amazing to work with and never was I worried about getting the photos I wanted or videos I wanted. Andrew exceed my expectation when he arrived right on time on our wedding day, documenting the little moments such as my mom helping me into my dress and capturing a lifetime of memories to come. Andrew did our engagement shoot and I fell in love with his work there as he captured many memories for us to remember forever! He was always communicative and helped to ensure to get pictures with all our guest as well as getting our special drone shot with our bubble exit from the church! Dont sleep on Andrews work, he impressed us when he told us our photos were ready a week after our wedding. It made us both so happy to be able to relive our beautiful day in his pictures! His team picked our a perfect spot for our photos in downtown Naperville and we were very grateful for all of his hard work! Also definitely opt for the photobooth, it was a huge hit at our wedding! Thank you Andrew and your team for everything!
Andrew and his team are AMAZING! Not only did we use him in our wedding, but we've seen his work in numerous of our friends' weddings. He offers a variety of packages to suit the couples style, and the pricing is unbelievable! Andrew was very accommodating to fit our needs best! He has such a calm presence too which is important during such a stressful day. He gives timelines and stays true to his word. His communication is also something to note. You can tell Andrew loves what he does and it can be seen in the beautiful photos that he creates.
Andrew and his whole team are just absolutely amazing. Xcite photo did both our engagement photooshoot and our wedding day pictures. They captured all the moments so perfectly. We loved all the pictures. Andrew is also so accommodating and works with you on what you need for your specific event. He is beyond amazing and we are very grateful for having found Xcite photo.
Andrew and his team were great to work with! On the day of our engagement photos it was raining, and he made it very easy to reschedule knowing that we wouldn't want them done in the rain.
He was very prepared for the wedding day- he had the full schedule of where they needed to be and they were on time and prompt with what we asked for. My first look photos with my father and my husband make me cry every time I look at them- He captured the moment perfectly. All of the pictures turned out so beautifully and make reminiscing on the day so fun. He suggested doing a speed round of pictures where we took a photo with every table, and I loved that. We also had a short film and video of the ceremony, first looks, speeches, and walk-in. I can't express how happy I am that we got those. I watch the short film very frequently and it's so fun to look back on.
Overall Andrew and his team were so easy to work with and great photographers/videographers. He responds quickly when you have a question or need help with something and he is always willing to work with you to add things on that you want for your special day!
Andrew and Kristen were amazing to work with! They both responded promptly leading up to the wedding and kept me informed throughout the entire planning process. On the day of the wedding, Andrew was our photographer. He was friendly, professional, knowledgable, and had great suggestions for places we could get some great photos! I have been receiving compliments about the pictures and I can't wait to create my album. I HIGHLY recommend XC!TE Photo!
Andrew and his team were absolutely phenomenal. They were incredibly flexible and came through flawlessly during a pandemic wedding. The photos and videos were incredible and came at a cost that didn't break the budget. They had great shot recommendations and got everything we ever could've wanted. Should be everyone's go-to wedding photographers/videographers.
Choosing a photographer for our wedding was a challenging task. We have absolutely no regrets choosing Andrew and his team. Being a bride is one of the most stressful feelings and Andrew was a calming presence and took away much anxiety. He captured EVERY moment and took so many pictures where we can truly relieve every moment. And the pictures are beautiful!!! Thank you so much Andrew and team!!
If you are looking for an amazing photographer/videographer look no further! Andrew and his team were great to work with. They were nothing but accommodating during our reschedules due to the pandemic. The day of they were so professional and made sure to capture every moment, they captured everything I had requested and then some. Pictures and video turned out great and were sent sooner then expected! I highly recommend Xcitephoto to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!
Xc!te Photo Wedding review
As we know wedding planning should be the most exciting time for a couple! I am so lucky I came across Xc!te Photo on a fb friend's page! Working with Andrews and his team was nothing short of a dream. Andrews and his team were very detailed oriented, flexible, understanding, and PROFESSIONAL. Our friends and family were blown away by their work. We could not believe how fast the turn around was for our wedding video and photos. My husband and I are 100% satisfied with their work and will continue to recommend this company to our friends and families.
Thanks again XC!TE Photo! You helped bring our vision to life!
Andrew and his amazing team are the best to work with on your big day! This was an easy one-stop-shop for us. They have fantastic wedding packages at beyond fair prices. To have photographers, videographer and photo booth for price we paid was a steal! We have zero regrets with this vendor.
Plus, Andrew and his team are incredibly punctual and professional. There is nothing to worry about on your big day when you choose Xc!te. They know what they're doing.
Our plan was to do a very small wedding and initially I was even debating hiring a photographer. I cannot say how glad I am that we decided to do so and that we chose Andrew. From the first time we spoke with him he was kind, engaging and responsive. We scheduled a Facetime call and he took time to walk us through the services, the plan and answer all of our questions. On the wedding day, we did getting ready photos, bride & groom in DT Naperville, family & ceremony. Andrew made it fun, easy and exciting. My family couldn't be here for the wedding and he was sensitive to that and captured awesome shots of our live transmission. Just got the photos back this week and we could not be happier with the work Andrew has done for us.
Andrew and his team did an AMAZING job capturing every special moment on our wedding day! They were so kind, and even during this crazy year they were very accommodating to all the changes we had to make due to the restrictions we were faced with!
Xcite Photo did our wedding photography and videography in October 2020. Despite the crazy year everyone has had, they were very accommodating and flexible. Andrew and his team are so easy to work with and make you feel comfortable. But the real reason for a 5 star review is because of the incredible photos they took for us! Thank you for capturing our big day!
Andrew and his team were phenomenal. The photos and videography were absolutely stunning. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such brilliant color. Not only was he calm and easy to deal with, he just seem to float about the entire evening never interfering but yet capturing every single special moment. We are so happy with the photos and the video. We keep watching the video over and over.....we just smile...Andrew didn’t miss a thing. Every single special moments that someone else may have missed, he did not. We have two more daughters that will get married in the future and of course he will be the one that we call who can do the whole package including photography, videography and even the photo booth. I did my research and I knew that he would be the one when we met in person and I saw his beautiful work. Definitely don’t hesitate to use him if he want an effortless event. He arrived early and stayed longer than we thought he would and between the two photographers and videographers, it was spectacular and we are also happy with it
Oh my gosh; let me tell you about this company! Absolutely phenomenal work and service. Andrew and his guys carry themselves with such professionalism and poise. They have a number of packages to choose from and the awesome thing is that if you’re leaning toward one package but don’t want 1 or 2 things from it, Andrew will work with you to do some upgrades or substitutions to ensure that you’re getting everything you want. I just can’t say enough good things about them. I had all their personal information so I could text or call them if I needed to with questions and I always got prompt responses! Communication was so easy. Even after the fact, they extended information to reach out to them with any questions or concerns. That was pretty incredible. Andrew sat down with me, and the photographer that was assigned to me and my husband, sat down with me on multiple occasions (via FaceTime due to covid) to discuss all the photos I wanted and how I envisioned the day. We went over poses, timelines, style, candids, glam shots, everything and anything you could imagine. We went through the specific songs for the video montage and what exactly I wanted highlighted during it. So much detail and patience to fully understand and encompass our wishes as a couple and our expectations. I composed a 3-page list of photos and poses I wanted captured of the big day and all of my expectations were met, and then some! They were punctual for the day of and were so easy going whilst trying to follow the schedule set by our coordinator. Nothing phased them. They kept calm and collected and we got every picture we could’ve wanted; such great quality. They brought suitcases, literally suitcases, full of equipment to ensure that shot the best quality photos. I 100% recommend them and will always recommend them to my fellow brides and grooms that I come across. Thank you so so much Andrew; we couldn’t have chosen a better company and personnel to capture our magical day!
We hired Xcite Photo for our wedding on 9/5/20, and we were extremely impressed by the talent and professionalism of the entire team! Even in these unprecedented times due to Covid-19, the team was able to capture all of the important moments and get pictures and videos of everyone present at the wedding! The finished product is amazing, and we were highly impressed by the quality of the photos and videos! (strongly recommend getting the video package as well as the short montage video!). We both felt the prices for all of the packages offered were very fair, in comparison to their competition. As part of the package, we also received an engagement photo session and we were thrilled with the pictures! Andrew DiMonda, who is the owner of Xcite Photo, exceeded our expectations as far as professionalism, responsiveness and quality of work... and to top it off he is just a very nice and easy going person... which made the entire experience so enjoyable! We have received countless praises for the work of this team during the event, as well as for the pictures and videos. We highly recommend Xcite photo for your next event or couples/family photo session, you wont be disappointed!!!
Andrew and his team did an AMAZING job photographing our wedding! It rained the entire day but the pictures he took turned out beautiful! I would give him 10 stars if i could. Every picture he took i absolutely loved. Andrew and his team worked so hard making sure they didn’t miss out on any moment. He is a super talented man and i highly recommend him! Thank you XcitePhoto for making me feel beautiful and capturing the beauty in our special day.
With so many photography choices out there it was overwhelming to find the right fit for our wedding. We stumbled upon Andrew and Xcite photo at a bridal show and I am so happy that we did. Not only do they have amazing prices, but they offer a wide variety of services and they were great to work with! I would choose them over and over again if I could!
Andrew did an amazing job! When my husband and I had to make some big changes to our wedding day plans this past May, Andrew was so flexible and accommodating! He really worked with us to make sure that our day was still special and the photos turned out absolutely beautiful! We can’t thank him enough for capturing our special day and will definitely use his services again in the future! We have nothing but great things to say and highly recommend Xcite to our friends and family. Thank you again Andrew!
Andrew did a phenomenal job at our wedding! We had tons of guests coming up to us saying how much they liked him and that they didn't think he missed a single thing! He was always there when a moment worth capturing was taking place. And there are no words for how good the pictures turned out. When I say every single picture we got was flawless I promise I am not lying!
We used Xcite photo for our wedding this past November and they were everything we hoped for. Andrew and his team were true professionals and we are in LOVE with our photos and videos. We were the third out of our friend group to use them and will recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer. Pricing is very reasonable for the amount of stuff you get in the packages and they supplied the photo booth as well which was a big hit. We are so lucky to have the pictures and videos to look back on.
My wife and I got married in October. We met with several photographers and then we found Andrew at Xcitephoto. He made the photo process for our wedding super easy. On the day of him and his team did and amazing job capturing our entire day. The photos turned out amazing, and captured so may things we could see during our busy day. Andrew and his team captured memories that will last us a life time.
Andrew is fantastic at what he does I was so happy with how well everything turned out from taking photos to editing.
He's also very reasonably priced and easy to work with.
Andrew and his team did a fantastic job. They were very organized and professional. They showed up on time and worked well with all parties involved, especially the children. Their pricing is very affordable and the turn around time for the photos and video was less than 2 weeks! You cannot beat XcitePhoto when it comes to quality and pricing offered.
I am completely blown away by Andrew and his team at Xcite photo. What originally attracted me to using Xcite, was their affordable and reasonable pricing for both photography & video! What I did not know was that I had a team of TWO extremely skilled photographers and a videographer. Andrew has been extremely helpful and professional throughout the whole process, via text messages and e-mail when I had questions on timeline, upgrades etc. The day of, his team was on time and ready to work. They were there until after 11:00pm until I finally told him he could head home! It was great that he was willing to stay to get footage up until the last song. He was so communicative and that is so important for a bride that has 100 details to plan! He even told me before he sent me some sneak peaks from the wedding. When I thought of sneak peaks, I thought maybe, 10-15 photos but no! His team edited and sent us 130 photos within the first two weeks of our wedding and they were BEAUTIFUL! I got my full photography right at the 5 week mark, which he let me know was coming through the day before, and I received over 1300 photos to choose from, all of which we love endlessly! I had mentioned to Andrew to please capture candid moments of our friends and family instead of just staged pictures and it truly looks like all of the pictures have raw emotion! I am blown away. I received my "montage" today, about a 3.5 minute video and I have cried and rewatched it about 10 times already. They really captured the most important moments and my full video is ready for pick up next week! I can't rave enough about Andrew and his team. Their customer service, pricing and most importantly product is 5 star. I am so grateful that I chose Xcite for my special day, now I have amazing product to look back on forever! I would not hesitate to book Xcite for your wedding day. I truly am just blown away!
Andrew and his team are phenomenal. My wedding day went so smoothly because of them. They were very efficient, organized, and professional. My wedding pictures came out BEAUTIFUL! I am so obsessed with them. Look no further if you need a wedding photographer! Xcite is the way to go!
Xcitephoto was an amazing decision for our wedding. They were professional, creative, and seamlessly melded into our wedding. I like how he checked the photos and shared how cool some of the photos were that we'd taken by showing us his camera screen. I can't wait to see our pictures in the rain!!!
Choosing Xcite was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We used this team for both of our ceremonies as well as reception and it was a great experience. Andrew really does strive to make sure that you are happy with the service and is very easy to work with. Andrew worked with us on our first ceremony day which was a Hindu wedding and he did great capturing those beautiful moments and knew exactly which parts were important. Phil worked with us on our Catholic Wedding day and reception day and truly got some amazing shots. He was also so easy to work with and down to earth. We really had a great time working with this team and I would highly recommend them!
Andrew was wonderful to work with. Our engagement pictures were so beautiful. His pricing is also very reasonable. His associate took our pictures on our wedding day. The pictures we got were stunning. We are very happy with them. Our only issue was that we felt some important pictures were missed, like a photo of the groom with his mother or the bride and groom with his family. The communication could have been better on the photographer’s part. However, overall, they did a good job and we are happy with the photos we got.
Andrew and his staff did an incredible job capturing our day! They are the right balance of professional and relaxed. Xcite Photo had a super simple process, clear website with detailed packages, and they were a pleasure to work with. My husband hates taking pictures, but with Andrew and his team I did't hear any complaints. Highly recommend!
