Reviews for Chicago event photographers on Thumbtack

Great photos for the event

From Thumbtack Customer

Martika Photography, LLC
Martika Photography, LLC
I am absolutely 100% satified with Martika P. Gartman Photography. I have hired many Event Photographers for both Family and Church Events over the years. However, I must say that Martika P. Gartman Photography is the "best" Event Photographer that I have ever seen with my own eyes. She knew "exactly" how to pose and line up persons for photographs. She took her time, and the Event photographs are excellent "keep-sakes" for everyone attending the Church Event to hear my daughter, Dr. Sheri Prentiss, give a presentation about her newly published book," WHEN EVERYTHING CHANGED: MY JOURNEY FROM PHYSICIAN TO PATIENT", an inspiring book about Dr. Sheri as a breast cancer survivor. Thank you, Thumbtack Staff for making the "contact" between myself and Martika P. Gartman Photography.

Dhaval was exceptional! His keen eye captured the essence of our event beautifully. The photos were crisp, well-composed, and truly showcased the energy and key moments of the conference. Highly recommend for any event photography needs.

I highly recommend Enevole for any type of event photoshoot. The most important aspect of a photographer at these events is the ability to adapt on the fly, and Prash was very flexible and provided incredible photos regardless of how difficult we made it :)

Viviana is the best! She came to do a photo shoot for one of our pre-wedding events. We hopped on a call and she asked a lot of questions on what to expect from the event and all details that the event would entail. While doing the photo shoot, she captured all our special moments with our family members. She was very punctual on sending us the photos as well! Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a photographer!

Karolina photographed our daughter's 1st birthday party. She was professional and punctual, and captured the moments of our party perfectly. The photos were very candid and 'in the moment', as we had requested. She also took some family photos before the event that were lovely. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent event photographer!

Amit came to the venue for my wedding photos early and was ready to shoot. I really appreciated how frequently Amit checked in with me (the bride) during the event. There was clear and effective communication every step of the way which was greatly appreciated during my wedding planning process. At the event, he was super friendly and handled each group of guests wonderfully! We did a seties of group photos with friends and family. I would absolutely hire him again for another event or a smaller scale family photo shoot in the future.

Mina was great to work with! We requested she photograph our friend's 40th birthday in Chicago and she was quick to respond and confirm the event. The day of the event, Mina came to the party and was friendly, quick to pick up who the bday girl was, the important people at the party, and got great shots of the event space. Highly recommend Mina for your event!
