RAVE REVIEWS
Working with James for our wedding day and engagement session was amazing. He goes so far above and beyond. Both with the engagement session and wedding day I had very specific pictures I wanted, and he captured each moment I hoped to get. We have so many beautiful pictures from our wedding day, and for that reason alone I would recommend James without reservation. But the added bonus of having James as your photographer is he is fun! He will capture the best smiles because you will be laughing and enjoying yourself the entire time. I cannot tell you how many compliments we received from family and the bridal party about our photographer. You anticipate compliments on your dress, the way the venue is set up, the food, etc. But you don't anticipate so many guests telling you, "Your photographer was awesome!" One thing you might not think about when picking your photographer is you spend A LOT of time with them on your wedding day. So I can't stress how important it is to have someone you like to be around there when you're getting ready, saying your vows, and capturing pictures of your day!
We can simply not thank James enough for capturing our wedding as perfectly as he did. After the last dance is danced, the gifts are unwrapped and the dress is cleaned the pictures are what we will always have to cherish the memories of the day we said I do. The photographs James left us with are more than we could have ever imagined. They are not only a reflection of his skills as a photographer but of the way he goes the extra mile to know you! He didn’t only listen to our input, but took to heart our opinions to create images we wanted while capturing genuine moments we would have otherwise missed. He made us feel comfortable behind the camera which made it easy for our personalities to shine through! James passion made great pictures, his humor made our smiles real! Our only regret is that it’s all over and we no longer have James following us around documenting our favorite moments!
Thank you so much for photographing our wedding! We love all the pictures! Thank you so much for being a part of our special day! People are still talking about your awesome photos and how you were everywhere getting pictures. You are a part of our family now! Thank you for everything!
James - What can we say, you're a great photographer and a cool cat! Thanks so much for flying out to shoot our day. We are honored that you are the one capturing our most special day. Here's to you and to remaining lifelong friends!
Emily and I were absolutely blown away by the work James had done on our wedding. We continue to get complements from family and friends on the beautiful images captured on film that day. From the moment we met James we were at ease in the knowledge that we able to trust him to document our special day. He was so personable, great with our children, considerate to our needs and reasonably priced. I am still amazed at the professional look and the loving details James captured while we were able to focus on our family and guests. The images captured that day told our story that we can look back on and fondly remember for the rest of our lives. If anyone asks about wedding photography we highly recommend James Allen. Thank you James.
From the minute I met James I was confident that the pictures of my wedding would be wonderful. He was so professional, with a charm to him that makes you feel comfortable right away. He worked with me on the specifics of what I wanted but was also able to direct the set up of all the shots including Pre-Ceremony all the way to the end of the Reception. His creativity and knowledge resulted in wonderful pictures of my wedding day. He was also willing to work with me on a price which at the time I felt was reasonable, now after the fact I believe I got a value 3 times what I paid. I will HIGHLY recommend him to anyone I know in need of a photographer. He also was the photographer for my friends wedding and their experience was much the same as mine
James really did a great job at our wedding! I am sure the bride is supposed to have at least some idea of what type of photos she wants. I had no idea and relied on James' experience. He is experienced enough to advise the couple on every aspect of the photography. He is unobtrusive and always gets the shot. He is pleasant and accommodating, making it impossible to be uncomfortable in front of the camera. My photos turned out so beautiful. My friends and family said that I look like a model in my photos, which I can only attribute to James' talent. I am already recommending James to everyone I know here in Chicago. I cannot express my gratitude to James for preserving our wedding day so beautifully.
