Introduction
I believe my work stands out for the simple fact that I take great pleasure in what I do. I also am the only photographer which means I do my own photography, my own editing, retouching and resizing. I am a perfectionist and love to deliver the best work possible. The turnaround time for the photos is within 2 weeks, and albums come in as little as 2 months. I like being part of the most important day in anyone's life. Two souls joining together as one is extremely personal and emotional for not just the bride and groom but also the family and guests. I like seeing the joy and love that happens on the wedding day and being able to offer them printed memories of what happened in the most professional way.

We knew we wanted a photographer for our wedding and not just a photo company which merely shopped their photos out When I saw the wedding pictures of an old classmate on Facebook, I realized I had to find her photographer. I was then happy that Chicago Wedding Engagement Photographer was just a phone call away! Working with Gia was fantastic. She was incredibly communicative before the wedding and made everyone feel at ease the day of the wedding by helping make the day fun. She kept sane (and helped keep us sane!) despite the horrendous traffic, church chaos, and weather. Gia had great ideas for pictures, and we are so thrilled at how they turned out. The pictures are gorgeous and the memories are priceless

As anybody can see in these videos, the images captured are amazing and timeless. We were so grateful to have her as a photographer at our wedding. She did such a wonderful job and we will definitely recommend her to our friends. We never looked better in pictures in general, like we looked in those taken by Gia. She listened to what we wanted and needed and did exactly that. She captured priceless moments that we will cherish forever. Thank you, Gia, for being there!

Gia is really professional, yet laid back, friendly and gives you such a quick turn-around with the pictures! Our CD of edited digital pictures was ready in about a week and Gia had already sent us some unedited previews the same night (which is great for someone like me who loves immediate gratification)! Before the big day, we discussed specific shots we wanted, as well as locations around Chicago we might consider. Gia was really open to our suggestions and came up with her own ideas, too, which worked great - giving us unique, high-quality pictures that we'll treasure forever.

At the Bridal Expo this past winter Chicago Wedding Engagement Photographer's presentation stood out and we decided to contract Gia. Working with her was a real pleasure and we have the wedding album to prove her professionalism. She must have taken thousands and thousands of photos and might have spent countless hours browsing through them, but the end product is a work of art. My wife looks as beautiful as ever, while myself, I look better than I do in real life. That's quite an accomplishment since you want to look your best in your weeding album!

FAQs

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    I've always tried to make time stay still, and that's impossible, the only thing possible is to forever keep an still image of something that has sometime happened. I, personally, remember many of the things I've seen by looking at the photographs I've taken. As far as wedding photography is concerned, I don't think there's anything more beautiful than a happy bride on her wedding day, and I've always wanted to capture that happiness.

  • Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

    Mainly I photograph weddings and such, but I also photograph most events. The latest event wasn't a wedding but an Autism Walk that I also took part in. I was most proud of photographing that for more people need to be aware of this sickness and try to raise awareness.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    I would suggest knowing the exact budget they have and are willing to spend on photography. Once that's decided, figure out exactly how many hours they need the photographer, whether it's for 4-5 hours or full day. I also think reading reviews is one of the best way to pick someone, and most importantly schedule a meeting before deciding if you want to hire the photographer or not.
