VisualEtiquette

We had a great time booking an outdoor family portrait session with VisualEtiquette at my inlaws' home in their backyard. Emil was very responsive prior to the shoot, and we were very pleased with the amount of portraits we captured in a one-hour session of our extended family as well as the four individual families present . The photos turned out absolutely beautiful, and he was a good sport with our difficult toddlers. I appreciate so much his professionalism and talent, and my inlaws were overjoyed with the pictures.

Emil photographed my 30th birthday party and it was honestly some of the best money I’ve ever spent! His prices were very reasonable, and I was blown away by the quality and quantity of photos I received (and within 4-5 days). He was very friendly and did a nice job coordinating group shots and also taking some candids. I would definitely hire him again in the future! More...

My experience with VisualEtiquette was absolutely fantastic. He was on top of everything - he knew where to get great shots at Lake Katherine (Palos Heights, IL), came up with some nice poses so I wasn’t just standing awkwardly the whole time, and was constantly fixing the train on my dress. I love all the pictures so much and genuinely had a difficult time deciding which ones to send to people, because I just wanted to send them all! (But no one other than me wants to see that many photos 😅) More...

Emil was our photographer for our engagement photos and wedding photos/videography. We just recently received our wedding photos and they are spectacular. Still waiting on the video, but we wanted to leave a review before we forgot and we are certain the video will be just as great. We paid for a second person to help on the wedding day and he was also terrific (forget his name, unfortunately). Rates were very reasonable. Emil was always timely and respectful in all our communications and he is incredibly easy to get along with, which really helps getting candid, great photos. He had great ideas and compositions. To the extent it's helpful, we had bright orange and blue wedding colors at the Morton Arboretum on an overcast day and all of the photos absolutely pop -- we've gotten lots of really lovely compliments from those we've shown them to. Would highly recommend Emil / Visual Etiquette! More...

I hired VisualEtiquette for a big 40th birthday party and wow!! I am very impressed with Emil’s ability to capture the moments perfectly. He must have take a thousand of pictures capturing candid moments of the party of around 100 guests. He was very easy to communicate with, arrived on time and prepared, and he got the pictures back to me within a week. I am very happy with Emil and would highly recommend. More...

Emil was unobtrusive and worked with some challenging lighting and space constraints. He was punctual and responsive and reasonably priced. I would use him again no question.

Emil was great! We loved his work and how well he understood what we wanted from the shooting. He was dedicated and willing to make the most of our experience. He helped us out with the planning too. Pictures looked amazing and his edits received in the specified timeframe. More...

Emil was an absolute dream to work with. He helped me plan, execute, and memorialize the most perfect proposal. From doing a walk-through with me prior to the shoot, offering helpful suggestions, to being at the spot early and taking pictures at various spots in the nearby vicinity. My fiancé and I aren't particularly apt at taking pictures and Emil was a stellar coach throughout the process. I truly cannot say enough good things about Emil at Visual Etiquette and I would highly recommend him to all of my friends and family in the Chicago area. More...

Emil was great...we had a big family photo shoot and each family wanted to break away and do a few shots outside of the big family one. We had small children and 2 dogs and with these situations you have to be quick and take a bunch. There is a limited time between naps and little one's distractions and ability to pose. Overall it was a success and we got some wonderful photos within the hour with all of the generations. We did it in the yard and it photographed lovely! PS - With littles you take what you can get and sometimes their facial expressions are what they are feeling in the moment! More...

Emil was amazing. I hadn't met him or even talked to him on the phone before my wedding so I was a bit nervous about it, but immediately I knew it was going to be a good day. Emil was so easy to talk to, had great ideas for photos and was SO great at keeping us all on schedule. The entire day ran exactly on time which is unheard of for weddings... but it was all thanks to Emil. Everyone felt comfortable around him, and he got all of the pictures I had asked for and then a lot more :) During the reception he seemed to be everywhere getting so many pictures of guests (which I really wanted) and of us. He paid so much attention to the detail in every picture making sure to remove little things I would never have noticed but would have been ugly in the picture. I haven't gotten my pictures back because I just got married a few days ago, so I can't speak to those, but I'm 100% confident they will be amazing. Thank you so much for everything Emil! Highly recommend ! More...

Emil was awesome! He worked with our large bridal group and was able to get a lot of beautiful shots. We are definitely recommending him to all of our friends getting married. We are so happy we went with Emil.

Emil is wonderful! We had a very simple and quickly put together wedding. Emil was super flexible, even changed our contract a few times for us (sorry, Emil! ). He was professional and to the point. Our pictures are beautiful. It was very important to us that pictures between the wedding and reception did not take too long. All the pictures we wanted were taken and we were done in about a half hour and were able to enjoy the time at the reception.
We met before the wedding to discuss what we wanted in our photos and what styles we liked. We wanted outside pictures with a natural backdrop. The day of the wedding was very snowy and cold and we had to drive a few blocks to a nearby park but we got our pictures! Through it all Emil was super easy to work with, professional, and uncomplaining of the cold. We really can’t say how thankful we were that we found him. He is a true artist. He knows what he is doing! More...

Emil was great! He arrived early, worked with us getting the pictures we wanted and letting us work in our own ideas while using his own ideas. Emil was very professional and very pleasant to work with. My wife and I would highly recommend VisualEtiquette to anyone who is working within a budget and looking for great quality service.

Thanks Emil for all your hard work it was greatly appreciated.
