Teri was an absolute dream to work with as our wedding photographer! From the moment we booked her, she was professional, responsive, and genuinely excited about capturing our day. She shot primarily on 35mm film, which gave our photos that perfect natural, intimate feel. The lens rendered everything with such beautiful perspective, capturing wide group energy and compressed, stunning portraits effortlessly. Her bold experimentation with unusual and even expired film stocks created this magical, unpredictable dreamlike quality: subtle grain, unexpected color shifts, and a soft ethereal glow that makes the images feel timeless and deeply artistic. In a world of digital perfection, her film work captured raw emotion and atmosphere like nothing else could. On the day, Teri directed us flawlessly, from intimate ceremony poses to keeping the entire bridal party energized on our party bus adventure around Chicago's iconic landmarks. She was incredibly chill, fun, and positive, turning potential chaos into pure joy. We loved hopping from spot to spot for those epic city shots, and she made it all feel effortless. Teri didn't just document our wedding; she created heirloom art we'll treasure forever. If you're looking for a talented, creative film photographer who will make your day fun and deliver stunning results, book Teri immediately. Highly, highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Working with Andrea and her team at Amative Creative, was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She was responsive for the entirety of our planning process and wedding. She was able to use her expertise to perfectly execute the information that I shared with her about my vision, which was probably difficult as I provided her with a broad array of adjectives. Her and her second photographer, Claire, matched the energy of my husband and I which provided comfort and confidence for us on our wedding day. They went above and beyond for us, including, being almost an hour early to capture extra details, transporting my dress, helping bustle/carry the train, wrangling wandering family members, and even offering to take some videos for a family member with their phone so that they could enjoy the moment. We received a preview within days that contained over 150 photos, which was such a pleasant surprise and even more appreciated as we were married on a major holiday weekend. The photos were beautiful, and exactly what we wanted. We felt that Amative Creative's prices are very fair for the luxury quality of photography and warm professionalism they provide to their couples.

Michali & Dimitra were great, communication prior our wedding was smooth, they were very flexible in terms of ways of payment, we are very happy with the photos, which were delivered extremely fast (~7days). We had fun during the photoshoot and all went great! Thank you Team in motion! ❤️
