    Wonderful Experience

    Bindu was such a pleasure to work with. Wedding planning can be extremely stressful, but she made everything run so smoothly. Also, it was a HUGE bonus that she responded so quickly to my emails. Thank you for your beautiful photos!

    The perfect photographer to capture our day

    Bindu could not have been a more calming presence as she captured our wedding. No matter how much you prep, it becomes stressful and having a calm, focused photographer was more important than I ever realized. She was so organized and captured every moment I could have asked for and accommodated every last minute request I thought of. Plus, all our pictures were ready with in 5 days of the wedding - something unheard of. Could not recommend Bindu more for anyone getting married in Chicago, we will cherish her photographs for a lifetime!

    Thank you very much for the kind words. Sincerely appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts

    Wonderful experience!

    My fiance and I decided to get our engagement photos taken while on vacation in Chicago and we found Bindu. We set up a date (and a back up date - just in case!) well in advance and by the time came, we were both super nervous since we are not people that get professional photographs taken - ever! Bindu was sweet and made us both extremely comfortable. She was able to give us different location, pose, and outfit suggestions. Bindu even had our photos put into an online gallery within the week. We couldn't have chosen a better photographer for our engagement photos. Thank you, Bindu!

    Bindu Kodwaney Photography's reply:

    Thank you Shannon for the kind words. I hope you enjoyed your stay in Chicago. Appreciate you taking the time to write.

    Excellent service

    I found Bindu on wedding wire and wasn't sure what to expect, but she was great! She was very attentive to our desired style, and she was creative with backgrounds at our venue. She was flexible with our changing needs COVID19 hit. She was also friendly & encouraging, and I was glad to have her as a part of our special day.
    Also - she got the photos back to me in less than a week! This is incredibly fast! (And somehow managed to remove all my acne & blemishes.) I’ve heard of other vendors taking months to get photos back to bride & groom.

    Bindu Kodwaney Photography's reply:

    Thank you Stephanie for giving me the opportunity to be part of your special day. Kudos to you, your family & friends for being so creative with the car parade reception idea. You guys proved that weddings can be fun even with the COVID-19 limitations. Stay safe

    Excellent wedding photographer!

    Bindu is an incredible photographer. She is very patient and flexible. She helped figure out a good wedding timeline. She is responsive during the wedding process, which helped make wedding planning easier. Bindu also coordinated with my videographer(he reach out to her first), and together, they were able to get amazing photos and videos. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. She is excellent!

    Bindu is absolutely wonderful!

    Bindu is extremely professional, patient, and understanding. As we were going through the wedding planning process, she was so patient as I had to revise her schedule multiple times. She is also extremely responsive and always willing to chat to go over questions or scheduling. It was a pleasure to work with her, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

    Bindu Kodwaney Photography's reply:

    Thank you for the kind words Kyle. Your wedding left an impact on me when you went the extra mile to thank your in-laws in Urdu.

    Wonderful to work with - photos were better than could have imaged

    Bindu did the photography for our Chicago wedding in June 2019. She was incredibly professional and very fun to work with. We met with her once before the wedding to talk about what we wanted. I sent her a proposed schedule and a number of examples of pictures that I liked. She had some great suggestions on how to accommodate all the pictures we wanted. The day of she remembered every example picture I sent her and had more creative ideas of her own. We ended up with some amazing shots featuring the amazing Chicago architecture by Michigan Avenue and the river. It was also clear that Bindu had done her research on our venue because we got great shots of the space, ceremony, and reception. Bindu was also wonderful to work with in creating our wedding album. She was very accommodating and worked with us through a number of revisions. She went about and beyond by giving us additional spreads and a custom box for our album that really made it special. I highly recommend Bindu as a wedding photographer. The results were even better than we imaged they would be.

    Thanks a lot Karalena. Your words mean a lot to me. Appreciate you taking the time to write.
    Look forward to a continued relationship.

    Perfect Pictures

    Bindu was the best! What made us choose her was that her photos were colorful and full of warmth and she did not disappoint. Our pictures are amazing and so vivid.

    Highly recommend

    I met Bindu at my friend's wedding. She was the photographer. I watched her through the day and loved how methodical, calm and composed she was. I hired her for my wedding and absolutely loved the pictures she took. I was floored by the wedding album she printed for us. Aside from her beautiful work, she was very thorough with her communication, quick to respond and offered valuable advise. She also turned around our photographs quickly. I would highly recommend her.

    Bindu Kodwaney Photography's reply:

    Thank you Becky. It was an honor being part of your special day. Wish you both the very best in life

    Above and Beyond

    Bindu went above and beyond in working as our photographer for our engagement photos, wedding photos, and creating our wedding album. It's a very crazy thing to trust vendors with large amounts of money and hoping for the best but she was fantastic all the way through.

    Bindu is extremely initially organized, upfront with everything, and cool as a cucumber. Aside from her artistic talent, her calm demeanor is what I most appreciated as the day was already stressful enough. She was extremely flexible in working with my husband and I. Was mindful of time but didn't rush anything, and was a pro working with our huge family. Our guests also noted her calm demeanor and how she blended in the party and got so many great candid photos.

    I've also heard that many photographers take weeks or months to get customer's photos returned but she edited and got photos back to us in about a week.

    There are lots of photographers in the Chicagoland area who not only won't give you the great quality photos you expect for your big day or an easy going attitude, but will also charge you an arm and a leg for their services. I found Bindu's price of services to be extremely fair and her customer service is top notch.

    I cannot sing her praises enough. I would definitely recommend her to my family and friends and would reach out to her for any potential major events in the future.

    Bindu Kodwaney Photography's reply:

    Hi Gabi,
    Thank you very much for your words. I am so very pleased to know that you are happy and satisfied with your experience. I look forward to capturing your special moments again in the future.
    You should also credit yourself for how smoothly everything went. You were so relaxed on your wedding day, allocated enough time for photographs, were quick to give feedback which helped expedite everything. It was teamwork !

    Very caring, professional and attentive!

    Bindu is amazing. She was very attentive to what we wanted, her responses were always very quick and thoughtful before the event and she did an amazing job with our photos. We were so lucky to have her as our wedding photographer and we would recommend her to everyone!!

    Truly wonderful!

    I hired Bindu for a family photo session and I'm glad I did. From the first email I sent her to the very last she was wonderful to talk to, very responsive, informative, helpful and professional. I asked her for a suggestion on the location since I never done family photos ( we just had our first baby and wanted to start tradition of capturing our little family every year to see it change and possibly grow) and she right away gave us few great suggestions for the location which took a lot of thinking out of my hands and saved me lot of time in research. On the day of the shoot she was right on time, prepared and very professional. We were not the easiest clients, since we came with one year old that missed his morning nap, you can only imagine how cooperative he was but Bindu was wonderful, very patient and understanding. She let him be without forcing anything and managed to capture the perfect moments. She made us all feel very comfortable and not even for a second did we feel rushed or judged. We had a great time and wonderful experience and to make it all even better we didn't have to wait for the pictures for months like some photographers make you, we received our pictures just few days later and they were absolutely beautiful, couldn't be happier and wouldn't change a thing in neither one of them. She has a great eye and a lot of talent and I can't wait to book my session with Bindu next year and let her capture another year of our family and hopefully that time my son will cooperate a little better ha ha. I would highly and without a hesitation recommend Bindu to anyone looking to have a great experience and amazing pictures to cherish forever.

    Bindu Kodwaney Photography's reply:

    Thank you Dagmara. Truly appreciate the thoughtful and detailed review. I loved working with your family and look forward to many more years of capturing moments of your family grow.

    Beautiful Photos!

    Bindu was exceptional to work with. During our initial meeting, she was prepared, professional and personable. She answered all of our questions and guided us through all of our options with clear pricing and details. On the day of the event, she was very organized, quick, and knew the shots she was looking for. She directed people with ease. We asked her to stay longer than expected and she happily obliged. Our photos were sent over extremely quickly- a few days. We were blown away by the quality. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. She captured moments so naturally. We didn’t even realize she was there most of the day but her pictures told a great story. Bindu went out of her way to send us multiple links of proofs, rushed our photo album, and an extra drive. Pros: Communication Skill/Vision Editing Planning Value Friendly Compassionate Timely Decisive

    Bindu Photography was incredibly pleasant to work with during our wedding. She was responsive to emails and took the time to meet with us in person to discuss timelines and details. Bindu was professional during the entire process but specifically on our wedding day. She is flexible with your timelines, photo requests, and locations. I would recommend Bindu Kodwaney Photography for anyone's big day!
