Wally Kulak was the most incredible photographer. He was all over the place and his perfectionist skills really come in handy to make every moment picture perfect! We LOVED Wally and were so blessed to have him capture the most important day of our lives.Alain Milotti was out photo journalistic second photographer who paid so much attention to detail! He was also amazing and remembered specific requests I asked throughout the evening. He was on top of everything and had so many great ideas!Rex Stoffer was our videographer and he was the most kind hearted and caring man! He also grasped all the details that the bride and groom miss out on due to being so busy! He also fulfilled our every wish on our wedding day!These 3 wonderful people really caught every moment of this fairy tale wedding! I am so happy we went with each one! This is a day we will never repeat but always remember thanks to their never-ending passion and hard work!

We used Timothy Whaley photogrpahers for our engagement and wedding photos. 1 for the engagement and 2 the day of the wedding. They were all great!!! they got all the shots I wanted as well as the ones they knew I would want and work so well under time constraints and with crowds of people! Amber, Jerry and Miro all had wonderful and pleasant personalities and were fun to be around. The girls in the office are super nice and helpful as well! They are definitely worth the money!!

I was lucky enough to speak to my photographer the day I went in for my interview because Bill and I clicked immediately! As we spoke, he mentioned that he has that day open, and if I was interested, he would be happy to work with me! I was ecstatic, as I loved his pictures, his personality, and his creativity. I didn't want traditional pictures (although he also too those for my mom :-)), and he was very open to all my ideas. The planning process was seamless, and the day of, he remembered all the pictures I had wanted as "must takes". He came up with ideas on the fly, and showed me some of the more fantastic ones as the day/evening went by. The minute he walked into the house, he was unintrusive, and just took pictures as we got ready, talked, and had fun. He was great with my nieces; one is 2 1/2 and not very excited to stand, pose, or take pictures...but he made her happy and have fun...she didn't even know what was going on :-) At the reception, he continued to be unintrusive, but was always there when we wanted pictures, and, at the last minute or the night, when I just came up with a random idea...which, turned out sooooooooooo cute!!! Nick, the photojournalist that was there for the first 6 hours, was also fantastic...he took pictures of the boys at their house, and at the ceremony had a video camera to take snippets of the ceremony to put together in a short CD for when we pick up our proofs. I AM SO EXCITED!!! I couldn't ask for a couple of more professional, sweeter, more consiencious (sp?) photographers...loved them!!!

Timothy Whaley is incredibly organized and great to work with for your wedding. We have worked with them with ease during the entire planning process and are in the middle of creating our final wedding book. We had Jerry Amber as our main photographer for the day and he was great. Very personable and entertaining to all of our guests. He stayed until the end of the reception. Kelly Gardner was our photo journalist and also did a great job. We were very satifisfied with our service.

You get what you pay for, and in this case, we got AMAZING pictures. We're still trying to figure out what we want in our album. It was a great experience and our photographer, Chris, has us laughing all day long. She got some amazing shots and captured those few things I didn't see.

Photography was #1 on our list for importance for my husband and I when planning our wedding. After looking at over 10 companies throughout Chicagoland, we decided to go with Timothy Whaley. Our wedding was over 2 months ago and we are VERY happy with the decision we made to go with this company. The staff is/was always on-top of everything, responsive, gave creative ideas and helpful hints and were so friendly all the time. We chose Salvadore and Deanne for our photographer and pj and they were out of this world! Very involved and in communication throughout the planning, super friendly the day of to our family and friends, very organized, and of coarse...did an AWESOME job on our pics. We couldn't have asked for better photos of our big day. I know how pricey photography is, especially after all the research I did, but I think Timothy Whaley gave us the most for our money. We are overall very glad we chose them and will continue to use them down the road for our photography!!!

My photography company was excellent! I had two photographers, one that took photo journalistic photos and the other who takes poses. Both worked great together and both great personalities!!! I absolutely loved our photographer Chris-C who was our photojournalistic photographer!!! He was excellent!! His work is absolutely stunning!!! I am so excited to see our pictures and can't wait to see what is being developed!!! We also had a "photo booth" from Timothy Whaley as well. Our photo booth was no ordinary booth you see today in a box. We had a professional back drop that looked elegant for our wedding!!! I would have to say that was well worth the investment!! Many of our guests took advantage of the booth and took as many photos as they could!! All the photos were then printed off at the end of the night!!! Our photo booth photographer was excellent as well!! He was dressed very professionally and very pleasant to work with!! Although this company is not cheap, it's so well worth the money!!! I would recommend this company to other bride and grooms who are willing to spend a little extra to capture their moment!

Tim was an unbelievably dedicated professional photographer at our wedding reception on 8/8/09. The lengths that he went to get a great shot were amazing. We had very creative shots by the reflecting pond, by the garden, and several other areas we never would have thought of. His entire staff was a pleasure to work with- professional, extremely responsive, and willing to do whatever it takes to ensure you leave a happy customer. We can't recommend him strongly enough! Anyone else lucky enough to have Tim or his staff shoot their wedding will have stunning pictures to look back on for a lifetime.

My husband and I are thrilled with the results from Timothy Whaley. We were comfortable talking to the owner at our first meeting where we felt confident that his team would do a fantastic job on our wedding day. Our video, proofs, album and prints are outstanding quality. On our wedding day, the attentive videographer often checked on me to see how I was doing; the photographer was fun and patient with our large wedding party; the photojournalist took many of our favorite shots so discreetly that I never even noticed him except for when I met him at the start.Each step with this company was a pleasure; they made sure all of our wedding day was captured, from the sweet and treasured moments to the details. Their attention to detail was impressive and when they did make a couple mistakes with prints we ordered, the corrections were attended to immediately and professionally.We just received our album and have received numerous compliments on it. The price was a bit more than other photographers we looked at--not much-- but we certainly feel that the results were well worth the price. Now we are looking forward to our free sittings when our baby is born! We will definitely use Timothy Whaley again in the future and we certainly recommend their services to other happy couples.

We had a photojournalist, videographer, and photographer with us all day. First of all, I would highly recommend this for everyone. Although you are paying a bit more for the package deal, it is definitely worth it because they can capture that many more moments! Our photographer, Bill, was so professional. He went above and beyond his call of duty and pulled out safety pins for the girls when they needed them! :) He took some fabulous pictures and a tooonnnn of them so that we can pick and coose our favorites. He definitely listened to us with our suggestions and played with them. He took just the right amount of candids and groups posed shots.We cannot wait to see the final pictures. From the start they were very organized and reliable. I would definitely recommend Timothy Whaley.
