    Beyond grateful for Emil and Agnes!

    My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Emil for our courthouse wedding in 2020, and those pictures came out stunning! Emil met us at City Hall and then continued to shoot all over downtown for 2 hours in 30 degree Chicago winter weather. Those photos are stunning and we will always be thankful for those memories during our wedding in the pandemic.

    Fast forward to 2022, we finally had our reception! Emil was flexible with timing and answered all my questions. Agnes our day of videographer as well and she was a gem to work with too! Emil made us feel comfortable, not too posed, and captured photos that will be timeless. We got the photos back quickly and to this day I am still falling in love with them. I’m so thankful for their teamwork because I don’t even remember seeing them- since I was too busy being a bride, and they captured every second. Having a duo video/photo team is SO helpful during a wedding. They were effortless. The video is incredible and brings me right back to that day. I can’t wait to work with them again in the future!

    Emil is nothing short of amazing!!

    Emil is everything you could ask for in a photographer and more. He has the most creative and brilliant ideas for capturing just the right pictures! If you’re willing to do the crazy shots, so is Emil. We are beyond satisfied with his work and we highly recommend him!!!

    Great experience and photos for colorful wedding

    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!

    Emil was best vendor we had!!!

    Emil was easily the best vendor we had. From our engagement photos that people were in awe of, to the ceremony photos, to the reception a year later, to the video he made, to the photo booth. This man is an absolute pro. Responsive, an expert at his craft, his wife Agnes was awesome as well. Cannot recommend Emil and his team enough. The best price point we had and the best vendor we had!

    We are still loving our engagement and wedding photos from last year. He met us downtown for engagement photos and was incredibly flexible. The photos from the wedding were insanely beautiful. And he capped it off last night with our reception a year later. So grateful for Agnes and him. The photo booth he ran was such a hit as well! My friends already have selected him as their photographer/videographer when they eventually get married too.

    Beautiful and fun engagement shoot

    My fiance and I had our engagement shoot with Emil last month and the photos came out spectacular! He is creative, attentive, and makes the experience fun and comfortable. We're so excited to have him photograph our wedding next year and don't think we could have chosen a better photographer, especially with his reasonable prices and the quality of his work. Thanks, Emil!

    Fantastic Photographer with Keen Eye for Detail

    Emil was great! He has a keen eye on how and where to take pictures. He also has very good directions on how we're supposed to model. Plus Emil toughed it out in the cold for some outdoor photos. He is a very experienced wedding photographer, and it showed in the pictures. We love the candid shots he captured throughout the day and night. His work created a lasting album for our wedding. We highly recommend Emil.

    We just received our wedding pictures & can't stop browsing through them! Emil and his team truly did a fantastic job capturing our special day. We are so thankful to the attention to detail and capturing the small moments that we did not expect. Our entire experience, from engagement photos to the big day, was nothing but wonderful.

    Our wedding day pictures were one of our priorities when planning, and we are thrilled to have chosen Visual Etiquette to capture our special day.

    I booked Emil for our wedding after seeing how many great reviews he had and they were all accurate! Emil was professional, easy-going, and knew how to capture beautiful shots, as well as touching candids! He definitely has an artistic eye and gave us wedding pictures that were far above my expectations. For example, he stopped us randomly at one point on our way into the reception space to capture a few shots and those are some of my favorites as the lighting was absolutely perfect! Thank you, Emil!

    Emil is absolutely wonderful! My fiancé and I couldn't have picked a better person for our engagement photos! We went into it so nervous and after working with Emil-we cannot wait to do it all over again at our wedding next year. Emil is very professional, creative, and excited to shoot! Most importantly, he makes you feel comfortable and truly enjoy your time together! I cannot wait to see our photos! :-) Thank you Emil!

    Emil is a talented photographer who is very professional, easy to work with, excited to shoot, and delivers excellent work. We received many compliments from our wedding guests about him even before we received our pictures. Our pictures are beautiful and the album he made is exceptional. Emil is a pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend him for any of your photography needs.

    Emil took our engagement pictures in the city and they turned out beautiful. I was very camera shy in the beginning, but he made it very natural being there. Our engagement pictures turned out beautiful! He had put pictures ready in 2 weeks and was easy to contact for follow up! I cannot wait for him to take pictures of our wedding!

    My husband and I had an amazing experience with Visual Etiquette. From the very first meeting with Emil, we knew we picked the right team for our big day. We loved our engagement pictures - Emil made us feel very comfortable. Emil and his team member, Jose, were very punctual and professional on the day of our wedding. We are so excited to see our pictures and our video - definitely recommend using this wonderful company.

    Emil of Visual Etiquette shot my wedding on August 14th and did an amazing job. I am a graphic designer and do photo art direction professionally, so I am very critical of photographs and I couldn't be happier. Emil worked within our tight time frame without a single complaint, and still managed to get fantastic shots both indoors and out. He never stopped taking photos and captured so many great moments without interrupting the ceremony and party. On top of it all, he was friendly and nice to everyone there, I had many compliments from guests. I would not hesitate in recommending him as your wedding photographer!

    Loved having Emil as our wedding photographer! He was professional and helped guide us throughout the whole wedding process. I loved all my pictures and he captured so many unforgettable memories throughout the night. His value is amazing, when I first found him I almost thought it was a scam because his pricing was so much lower than any other photographers I looked into. I received my wedding pictures around 2 months after the wedding with a preview album only 5 weeks after! I had so many guests comment on him and how friendly he was. I highly recommend hiring Emil @ Visual Etiquette as your photographer. One of the best decisions I made for our wedding.

    Emil is truly amazing at his job. We interviewed several photographers (in varying price ranges) in preparation for our wedding. When looking at Emil's website and pricing (which was significantly lower than all the other photographers we met with), I was not sold on his work and talent. However, the day we met Emil and he showed us recent engagement sessions and weddings he had done and we were sold.
    Emil was extremely personable, easy to work with and the end product is very, very special. Emil shot our engagement session on a very windy summer day on the lakefront. During the session our clothes and my hair was flying everywhere. We got the photos back and they were stunning. The shots he captured were truly one of a kind and showed our personalities through and through. I was then met with a challenge to pick one photo for our ‘Save The Date’; can you say challenging? Let's just say, there were over 50 shots that were stunning and I finally landed on 2 ‘Save The Date’ designs.
    Fast forward to our wedding day. Emil was on-time, and on-point. He was everywhere capturing everything! Emil has a great eye and the results show.
    We ordered a photo album and also got a slideshow montage included in our package. The montage was spectacular. The music, the photos and the flow and compositions perfectly depicted our wedding day, like nothing I could have ever imagined. We ordered a wedding video from another vendor, but the slideshow from VisualEtiquette far surpasses the quality of our wedding video (and that’s saying a lot because video is often more detailed and better at storytelling). The montage makes people cry whenever they watch it, including us.
    We recently received our wedding album and knew we'd be happy with it; and we are!
    If you hire Emil, you will not be disappointed, I promise, promise, promise. He is truly one of the best photographers I've ever worked with. His prices are competitive but his quality is of the highest ranks.

    Emil is an amazing photographer who truly cares about his clients and his work. It started snowing the morning we were scheduled to take our pictures but Emil showed up on time and did not complain once, trekking through the snow to get some amazing shots. He is extremely thorough and worked with us longer than our allocated time at no additional charge. He was extremely friendly, energetic and very hard working. Emil was easy to work with and most importantly made us feel comfortable and relaxed during our photo session. He took a nice variety of classical and artsy shots. We would definitely use Emil again and highly recommend him and Visual Etiquette.

    Emil was a lucky find for me.
    The engagement photo session with him was fun. I even recomended my friends to do a photo session with Emil even if it is just for a fun date. And I loved the photos he did for the wedding. Most of the evening people commented on the photographer to my new husband. A guest told me it was nice to have a photographer that was so personable. I had another ask me if he could make her look that good in photos. I am glad he was there to help document a special evening that goes so fast!!!!
