“Michael and Karina photographed our December 28, 2023, wedding, and we still smile every time we look through the images. After checking out several photographers in the Chicago area, a friend recommended Metts Photo and their package fit both our budget and wish list: an engagement session, two talented photographers for the entire day, and full rights to our photos. They even braved the winter cold during our engagement shoot so we could create photos for our guest book. On the wedding day they were organized, kind, and easy to be around more like friends than vendors. We had a sneak peek within days and our full online gallery not long after. They listened to our requests, caught every important moment, and then some. We wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend them to other couples.”

“Karina and Michael photographed our June 2024 wedding, but they did far more than show up with cameras. They helped us think through the timeline, took time to learn our story, and found ways to tell it beautifully in our photos. Planning a wedding in under four months meant making compromises, but photography was not one of them. While guests may forget the dinner menu or playlist, we knew the images would last. The Metts kept us relaxed from start to finish, kept an eye on little things like water and breaks, and captured the day with calm confidence. We loved the quick previews and blog post they shared such an easy way to show friends and family. We were completely thrilled with their work, their kindness, and their storytelling. Choosing Metts Photo means choosing a team that truly cares about your love story.”

“We’ve invited Metts Photo into our lives again and again engagement, wedding, first anniversary, and the birth of our first child. There’s no one else we’d trust with these milestones. Michael and Karina create such a relaxed atmosphere that it’s easy to forget you’re being photographed; we could simply enjoy each other and the moment, knowing they were quietly capturing every detail. They deliver on everything that matters to us: they’re warm, professional, punctual, and attentive to what makes our family unique. The images and the experience always feel tailored to us, and that combination is incredibly rare.”

“Michael and Karina photographed our October 2023 wedding after first doing an engagement session with us. That time together helped us build trust and feel at ease in front of the camera, which definitely showed in the photos. On the wedding day, we handed them our timeline and they handled the rest with minimal direction. They were present without being intrusive, gently guiding us when needed and then stepping back so the day could unfold naturally. Their calm energy made the whole experience less stressful. The finished images told the full story of our day from start to finish, and we were proud to share them with everyone we love.”

“We feel incredibly blessed to have had Michael and Karina with us on our wedding day. From the moment we booked them, it was clear they were genuinely excited about our celebration and committed to capturing it well. Their joy, encouragement, and careful attention to detail stood out from other photographers we’d seen. The photos reflect not just how our wedding looked, but how it felt. We recommend Metts Photo every chance we get working with them was a gift, and we’re so grateful for the memories they preserved for us. :)”
