In our search for a wedding photographer and videographer, we met withsix different studios. Modern Image Studios was by far the best, asfar as quality of work and professionalism. We initially met withsomeone who gave us a run-through of Modern Image and what they offer. The packages were very reasonable considering everything that wasincluded. The edited wedding videos were beyond anything I had everdreamed could be done!! We looked at albums of various photographersand it was difficult to choose which photographer we wanted becausethey were all so great!! We chose Rachel Revor Owen's because of herattention to detail and amazingly creative shots. We could not havebeen happier. Rachel gave us the idea of doing our engagement shootat Navy Pier. The photos were fun with an urban twist. The morningof our wedding, Rachel had to deal with a nervous bride and she reallyhelped to calm me down during the photos at our hotel room. EVERYONEloved her. My bridesmaids and groomsmen thought she was sweet andfunny. Many people asked us what studio she was with. She really dida great job of handling our bridal party of 9 bridesmaids, 9groomsmen, 2 flower girls, and a ring bearer, not to mention our HUGEfamilies she took pictures of!! After the formal shots in the churchand the fun ones at our photo shoot, I barely noticed that pictureswere being taken because Rachel did a great job of taking thein-action shots. We saw a few of the photos and they are fabulous!We can't wait to see the rest. We also can't wait to see the video.Lynn, our videographer, was also great!! I would highly, highlyrecommend Rachel and Lynn at Modern Image Studios. Two fantasticladies!!!

We used Modern Images for our wedding photographer/videographer this July 2010. I am convinced there is no better company to work with then Modern Images!! I spent months researching websites, going to bridal shows and getting recommendations from other brides. In the end I was most impressed with Modern Images and actually recommended two other couples who have since used and loved their services as well. We got the best personal service from Kelly in the office who is SO on top of her emails its amazing! We used Tim for our photographer for our engagement shoot and wedding day (We love you Tim!!!). We also hired on a second photographer for the reception portion of our wedding day at a great price due to our wedding size. We also had a videographer who surprisingly asked and brought along an intern for the day at no cost to us which was AWESOME. We had 4 people shooting our day and for the BEST price around! We got a great deal and Kelly helped us customize our package to suit us best. We purchased our wedding album through Modern Images and got a free gift of choice along with our package. I loved Modern Image Studios and will definitely be recommending them to others in the future!!

We used Modern Image Studios for our engagement session, wedding photography, and wedding videography. I highly recommend Modern Image Studios! Our enagement pictures turned out wonderful and our wedding photos even better. We had Jeff Owens for photography at our wedding and Brian (sorry Brian I can't remember your last name) for videography. I can't tell you how wonderful they both were and helpful throughout the wedding day. Both arrived early and ready to work. I had a bridal party of 24 people including the flower girls and ring bearers and very limited amount of time for pictures as I had the reception immediatley following the church ceremony. That didn't stop Jeff and Brian from remembering everyone's name and getting over 1200 photos throughout the day. I also rec'd my wedding video within a week when I thought it was supposed to take up to 90 days. I have been very pleased and so happy with the service quality and result! It was also very nice having the videographer and photographer from the same company. They didn't compete with one or other, didn't step on each others toes, and worked really well together. I am so happy with Modern Image Studios and have become a client for life. I can't wait till we have children because Modern Image Studios is going to see even more of us! I would refer anyone to Modern Image Studios - no complaints! Thanks Modern Image Studios for making our wedding day a fairytale!!! Love - Jenny and Danny (2-6-2010 wedding date)

Wedding: 8/14/09
We LOVED MIS!!! We had Wes Craft as our photographer, he took amazing photos. We also had Alan Whitney as our videographer. We should receive our video in 2 months, so we haven't seen that yet, but Alan was very professional and added a lot of creativity to the day. Very excited to see it! At the office we worked with Kelly Morel and she was fantastic. She was quick to respond to all of our questions and took ample time to explain all of our options for the photos and video. She has made the whole process very easy. I would like to point out that Modern Image used to charge extra for digital negatives, but this is no longer the case. We received our photos online 2 weeks after the wedding and digital negatives in the mail 3 weeks after. We are putting all our photos together to submit for our album and can't wait to see it. You absolutely can't go wrong with Modern Image. They are very professional and worth every penny :)

Our photographer Rachel was in touch with us throughout the wedding planning process. Our photography package included a local engagement session, and we easily set that up with Rachel. She took charge during the photo shoot but asked us what our wishes were. She captured each moment beautifully. We didn't meet our videographer Brian until our wedding day, but he had been in touch by phone ahead of time. He gave us some great ideas, like having the mother of the bride sitting near the dance floor during the father/daughter dance for a great family shot. My father told me after the wedding weekend that Brian went around to various guests during the cocktail hour asking them to say a few well-wishes for the camera. We thought that was very special, and we'll have it recorded for posterity.

Brian was such a great videographer at our wedding because he stayed completely out of everyone's way and yet still did his job. He was there for every important event of the day and made sure he checked with me before he left to make sure there was nothing else I wanted shot. I was so impressed with how professional he was, and yet he was laid back and fun all day. I cannot wait to see the finished product, but I know it will turn out great because I can tell he paid such attention to detail. He was by the placecard table rearranging the placecards everytime someone took one to make sure they were all lined up nicely on the table. Thats something I would do!

Modern Image Studios was a great find. They are reasonable, responsive and GREEN!We worked with John Straus and Jeff for our wedding and they were fantastic. The "formal" pictures were a lot of fun because they got into the spirit of the day and really picked-up on our personalities and ran with it. The pictures are beautiful and fun - and they were available very quickly after the wedding.

We LOVE our video! The input for the songs makes it sooo personal!
Kelly
Wedding: 2/2/08
We only paid $1400 for an amazing wedding video. Our videographer was at there for 8 hours and captured every great moment of the day. Our video had a photo montage of my husband and I when we were little, and was set to the music of our choice. We only had to visit the studio once for the initial appointment, and the rest was done by phone/mail. Our wedding video is the best of seen and the price was quite reasonable.

I liked everything about Modern Image Studios. Everyone from their office staff to our photographer, Wes Craft, was really professional. They responded to our emails and questions right away and didn't hesitate to explain things further. Our photos both the engagement and wedding, turned out beautifully and I am really glad that we decided to splurge on photography and get them. They are pretty pricey but in photography you get what you paid for and I think we got the most out of our money. We are able to buy our wedding negatives/rights for $400 additional.

Overall, I loved our photographer, Wes Craft. He was very funny and personable. He made all of our portrait sessions comfortable and fun. The cost of the package was the most reasonable, but it does cost an extra $500 to buy your own digital negatives of the pictures. There seem to be a lot of additional costs for extra things that you want, but their packages are stripped down for those who don't need anything fancy. One thing that I was impressed by was their organization, but at the same time, I wish they had an extra hand built into the package instead of the portrait studio. The extra photographer, I felt, could have captured more candid shots during our lunch and throughout the wedding. The portrait studio was fun, and a lot of people actually did take advantage of it, but I wanted more pictures of my tables, flowers and guests in action rather than family portraits of all of my friends....without us. I'm sorry, but I'd rather not pay for my friends' family portraits...I'm paying for pictures of me and my groom.
