Deonna Caruso Photography

We loved Deonna!!! She was a great Photographer from beginning (engagment photos) to the end (wedding). She was extremely responsive through email and phone, she answered all of our questions. she worked with us to get our engagement photos done quickly since my husband travels alot. She was early for the wedding and took great pics. She had to wrangle 40 people together for our group shots and she didn't miss a beat. Her 2nd photographer Tracy was great too! She made the photos fun! I would highly recommend her!!!

I can only provide wonderful feedback about Deonna. We had contacted countless photographers via email and personally met with 3 other photographers prior to meeting with Deonna and at the risk of sounding corny, we knew right away she was the right photographer for us. My husband and I had discussed what we wanted in a photographer and she met all those categories. Her photography was clear and crisp; she captured peoples emotions without them knowing; she had a creative edge; she was calm and pleasant; she was excited to meet with us and was genuinely happy for us; she took time to get to know us and made great recommendations; she listened and followed through with what we wanted; she was within our budget range :) In addition, Deonna was punctual with emails/phone calls and was very reliable as the day came closer and most importantly, was everywhere we needed her to be on our wedding day. It is through Deonna's pictures that we can relive every moment of our day and we can't thank her enough for that! We are more than pleased with both our engagement and wedding photos. It is without a doubt I recommend Deonna!

My husband and I feel so fortunate to have had Deonna as our wedding photographer. Deonna was recommended to me by another photographer (which speaks volumes about her) and was absolutely great to work with. I was impressed, from the very beginning, with her professionalism and attentiveness. I didn't send Deonna too many emails but, any time I did, she wrote back almost immediately and I felt like she really cared. It's easy to see that Deonna loves what she does because she is fun to be around but takes her work very seriously. A few months after we'd booked Deonna as our wedding photographer, I decided that I wanted to do an engagement photo shoot, too. I emailed her about it and she got back to me the same day, very enthused about doing an engagement session. We did our engagement session in the beginning of January... outdoors... in Chicago and Deonna was nothing but cheerful and patient the entire time. What a pleasure and a great experience! I would recommend Deonna to be any brides wedding photographer. Her work's beautiful, she's extremely detail-oriented, professional and will make any bride (or groom) feel comfortable. She took beautiful photos at our wedding and has created memories for my family and I to keep for a lifetime.

I would highly recommend Deonna as a photographer. Although I have not seen the wedding pictures yet, the photos she took for the engagement session were wonderful. The day of the wedding, Deonna was prompt and courteous. She took all of the pictures that were "must haves" for us. She arranged for a 2nd photographer who also arrived on time and was a pleasure to work with. They both stayed well into the reception time so they were able to capture photos of the entire event. I know that we will be happy with the results. She also included a wedding album in her pricing which I thought was important since a lot of photographers now charge extra for that. She was very accomodating in meeting with us and responding to questions we had during the planning phase. She was flexible with changes we made for the 2nd photographer the day of the wedding as well. I would highly recommend her services for any event or photo session.

Deonna was an amazing photographer at our wedding. She got great shots, and was so professional and easy to work with. Thank you Deonna!

Deonna was great to work with. The photos she took of our wedding were absolutely amazing. I love how she was able to capture natural, unposed moments that really embodied the spirit of the day. Throughout the process, Deonna was extremely professional and friendly. She always responded to emails very promptly and was very helpful at walking us through the process. The day of the wedding, Deonna did a great job finding beautiful ideas for shots and helping keep me and the bridesmaids on schedule as we got ready. At the wedding Deonna was unobtrusive and I barely noticed she was there. Overall, my husband and I couldn't be happier with Deonna and her work. We are so thrilled to have such beautiful photos from our wedding and would highly recommend Deonna.

Deonna was hands down my favorite person to work with during our wedding (and we had some great people helping us!). Photography was really important to both of us and we were nervous finding a photographer on the internet. Once we came across Deonna's website and saw her portfolio and all the amazing things people said, we were at ease. When we met with her, we signed that day to make sure no one else stole her for our day :) She is so, so nice and you will have a hard time finding someone more talented. She is very flexible with everything and captured so many wonderful pictures at our wedding. Thank you, Deonna, for giving us such great memories of our special day!

We were so fortunate to have Deonna provide us with her excellent photography services!! She is a sweet, caring and wonderful person to work with. Her images capture your heart and blow you away. We could not have asked for a better photographer for our special day. My husband and I would totally recommend her for any event that is in need of an awesome photographer!!!

My husband and I got married this past June 2010 and couldnt have asked for a better day. We had the most amazing photographer...Thank you Deonna. You captured the most beautiful pictures I've ever seen. I will cherish them forever. I've had nothing but amazing comments about my wedding photos. People have commented on how beautiful they are and who was the photographer and how talented you are. I would absolutely recommend Deonna as a photographer from the amazing pictures to her amazing personality. She made my family feel so comfortable and was so easy to talk to. Wish you lived here in Cincinnati I want to have a family photo done for Christmas and wish it was you who would be taking them. Amazing, amazing and beautiful!! Thank you so much Deonna from my family to yours. Your passion for photography definitely shines through your photos. Wish you the best in all you do. Love The Pace Family.

We were lucky to find Deonna among the sea of wedding photographers out there. Plenty of friends receommended the people they used, but after meeting Deonna (she came to our house which was nice) we could see she was passionate about her business and truly cared about our day. We had her do our engagement pictures in addition to our wedding and LOVED her work! On our wedding day we had a busy picture schedule and timing was tight, but Deonna did a great job of getting the shots we needed and moving the group along. At the ceremony and reception you wouldn't have even known she was there as she moved through the crowd capturing candid and genuine moments with our guests. Her work is done well and her pictures are gorgeous! Deonna is worth every penny and will give you the piece of mind to enjoy yourself knowing your pictures are in good hands. We 100% recommend her work and think you'd be crazy to use anyone else for such an important part of your wedding.

deonna is a gifted artist. she was so easy to work with. all our photos from our engagment and wedding were beautiful. she has an eye for great pictures. she responds to emails within minutes and is very attentive to detail. i loved working with her.

Working with Deonna Caruso Photography was a great experience. They were very responsive and anticipated my needs.We're still in touch as they make sure that you are truly satisfied with the final product.We are so pleased with our choice in Deonna Caruso Photography, and we highly recommend him for your photography needs.

Deonna was wonderful! she was so on the ball in every aspect of the planning and did an excellent job in the execution of the whole day! she really worked with me and was so easy to talk to and throw out ideas to. and of course my pictures are beautiful!

I would like to start by saying that I don't think you can finda better photographer out there. I started my search and ended it all in the same night. As soon as I say Deonna's portfolio I fell in love with her style. She has a very clasical intamate look to her photos. Exactally what I was looking for. I worked with her over 9 months and as pervious posters have stated she is very quick to responde and just so sweet. The day of our wedding she arrived at our venue early to take shots of the wedding grounds. . as it was outside. She met me and my girls at our dressing rooma and took photos there. . then proceeded to the men's dressing room. . where i found out later the poor girl was nearly thrown out by all the bashfull men. . anyways. . she took so many awesome photos and somehow never got in the way. MANY of our guests gave me many many compliments on her personality and willingness to try and get everyshot (I have to tell you I had her running all over the place.) Her pricing was very competative and for future referance take her advice and write down a list of the pictures that you would like her to take after teh ceremony. . I will be reccomending her to anybody that needs a photographer in the future :) (her pictures are so stunning that i cannot look at them without tearing up)

Deonna was a wonderful photographer! We highly recommend her services. She was creative, flexable, and patient (thank goodness because my family was a handful). She managed to capture all the greatest moments of day. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer!

You wouldn't think that you'd find your perfect wedding photographer from a Google search, but that's exactly what happened for us. We got several referrals from friends and wound up interviewing three shooters. Of the three, Deonna was the only one we found on our own by searching online, and she came in with the best blend of great work, value, and personality. Her work speaks for itself, and we're very happy with the quality of the photos she took on our wedding day. We continue to get comments from friends and family about how great our photos are. Her pricing is also very competitive, representing a great value. On top of that she's a genuinely nice person who's easy to be around. But what I'm most impressed with is her responsiveness and willingness to do whatever it takes to make us happy. When I send her an email, I don't think I've ever waited more than an hour or two for a reply. Most days it seems like she's sitting in front of her computer all day! It's great to be able to count on a quick answer when you need one. Additionally, whatever we threw at her (and continue to throw at her), she makes it work. No suggestion or question is met with anything other than a positive attitude and desire to make us happy. All businesses should be run that way! I would never hesitate to recommend Deonna. She really was the perfect photographer for our wedding. You should give her a shot, she won't disappoint you!

After months of searching for a photographer in Milwaukee, we didn't find anyone that fit our personality or our budget. Since we live in Chicago, we decided to continue the search in Chicago and that is when we found Deonna. From the start, she was all about service and had no issue with traveling to Milwaukee (which proved to be true as we had a blizzard the day of our wedding!). We fell in love with Deonna's photojournalistic style and her services were exactly what we had been looking for - all day coverage, flush mount albumn and a second photographer so we were able to capture all of those separate bride/groom getting ready shots plus different angles on all of the festivities for the night. Her creativity, responsiveness, professionalism, personality and flexibility is something every couple deserves for their wedding day - she captured the moments that we will cherish for a lifetime. Thank you Deonna!

Deonna Caruso took the best pictures and captured all the great moments of my evening! I can always look back and remember what a great night that was because of the photography. Deonna also edited the pictures in such a way where it captured the look and feel of my wedding while having the traditional shots every wedding needs! I would highly reccommend her to any bride. Not to mention you get so many options from the photo albulm to controlling every aspect of your photos online. She is extremely talented and it shows in every photo!

Deonna is friendly, knowledgeable and artistic. She took beautiful pictures that really captured the mood and the day...she can find beauty in just about anything! Deonna also continues to help me with questions I have well past my wedding date.

We were so blessed to be able to work with Deonna on our big day. She was so easy to get intouch with through the entire process from begining to end. She made us feel very much as ease and captured such wonderful moments in our pictures. We really couldn't have asked for more, the pictures are beautiful!
