Ari Rosenthal Photography

Ari Rosenthal Photography is the best. Great communication and outstanding customer service. Tia was so great to work with and our pictures are amazing.

My husband and I choose Ari Rosenthal Photography because we liked the fact that we would get all the photos on DVD and we could do whatever we wanted with it, without having to pay extra for albums that we may or may not have wanted at a reasonable price.

We met with Dan and we immediately fell in love with his photographs (or rather I did because I really love photography) and my husband liked him because Dan had worked on the show "Seinfield".

He was very easy to work with and had good ideas on where to take photographs and worked with the ideas I had as well. I have had guests tell me that he is really nice and that they couldn't wait to see the photographs.

We are still waiting for the photographs but from the few that he showed me on his camera the day of the wedding, they were amazing. I can't wait to see...

I initially chose this photography group simply because it was one of the few that will give you a DVD of all the images. I think that is a HUGE benefit, I can't imagine only having prints from the wedding and not being able to keep copies of the digital files.

The photos turned out FABULOUS! Dan was awesome and made the photos a lot of fun. We literally had dozens of guests comment about how much they enjoyed working with our photographer and loved his sense of humor. It was an added bonus that he kept track of the time for us, kept us on schedule, and took charge of "herding" people when needed. We certainly didn't expect all that, but it was nice to have one less thing to worry about that day. After 5+ hours of non-stop photography, we would have thought he would take a break for the dinner, yet he was still running around getting pictures of the toasts, borrowing our rings to do artsy shots...and even stayed late without us asking or expecting it.

Highly...

Our photos were amazing! Ari was very helpful when we had questions about the contract in the beginning, and we loved working with our photographer Amanda. Not only did she take beautiful photos, but she was also a lot of fun to work with. She captured those little, candid moments that a lot of other people would have missed. We are so happy that Ari Rosenthal Photography was there to document our day. Everyone tells us how awesome our photos turned out. I would recommend Ari Rosenthal Photography to any bride and groom!

We specifically asked for Ari to be our photographer and didn't go wrong. The entire experience was fantastic! We rented the Pabst Theater for a photography session and it was well worth it. And Ari made it fun. Ari brought another photographer with him, who took over at the reception and she did a great job, too. We are thrilled with our photos and our album!

We were very happy with our decision to use Ari Rosenthal for our wedding pictures. We are able to view various photographer's galleries online and select which photographer we would like to work with. We met with our photographer prior to signing a contract and were able to see more of her work and talk over our ideas before we had to make a commitment. Our photographer, Tia, was absolutely wonderful to work with! Our pictures were amazing and the turnaround time was unbelievably quick!

We hired Tia Brindel through Ari Rosenthal Photography. Tia did an amazing job with our pictures and was a great pleasure to work with throughout the day. I highly recommend using both Tia and Ari for your wedding photography.

I was extremely pleased with Ari and his crew of photographers! Our photographer Amanda was easy going, down to earth, and a lot of fun! She really listened to us as a couple and the results we wanted from the photos that day. Ari was extremely responsive to all questions and extremely flexible. What a great wedding day!

Stephen photographed our wedding. He was absolutely amazing. He captured our family in spontaneous moments, which is what we were looking for. Our family and friends thought that we have the most beautiful photos. Thank you for capturing our special day.

To be honest, over a year after my wedding, I look at my pictures and am somewhat disappointed. I inquired having Ari be our photographer for our wedding. He was not available so we had met and chosen one of his associates instead. I was disappointed we could not have Ari but happy with our decision. Then after having met with the associate, we received an email appologizing for the fact that he was no longer available. Looking at the other associates on his website, we weren't excited about having anyone else so we inquired again about having Ari. In the end we went with another associate and while our pictures are nice, they were not what I was expecting and hoping for. While there are a ton of pictures to choose from, I feel like we could have had another photographer with pictures just as nice for a more reasonable price. I will say, everyone we spoke with was nice and easy to get a hold of and when our CD would only load half the picture to our computer/photo kiosk, Ari sent us a new CD which arrived the next day. Ari has shot several weddings for friends and is booked for others this summer. Looking at their pictures, I would recommend Ari in a heartbeat but not necessarily his associates.

My husband and I could not be happier with our experience with Ari. The pictures were absolutely incredible and we have received countless compliments on them. It is unbelievable how well he captured our personalities in the photos. Along with that, he was very easy to work with and basically worked his magic in a very seamless fashion. I didn't even realize all the moments he had captured until we got them. His level of service in also 5-star. He posted a selection of pictures to our Facebook page the day after our wedding, which was so fun to see so soon. Also, we went on a 25 day honeymoon. Ari held onto the photo CD and waited to send it until he knew we were back so that it wouldn't get lost in the chaos of the mail. It was simple things like that that shows that he goes above and beyond. We have yet to order our album, but I am already excited to see the outcome!

I couldn't be happier with my choice in wedding photographer. Ari was unable to be our photographer on the date we requested, but we were given many choices on which of his other photographers would suit our needs. We chose Tia and she was wonderful. Very professional and easy to work with. She shot our photos in exactly the style we wanted and we got great candid and beautiful posed shots. Ari did a great job putting our album together with the colors we liked. It turned out even better than we expected. We will proudly display it for family and our future children to see. Ari was also priced very competitively and worth every penny.

We worked with Tia and she was wonderful. We received the DVD of pictures within two weeks following the wedding and we had plenty of favorites to choose from.

Ari did such a great job shooting both our Engagment and Wedding photos, we would recommend him to anyone for any occasion. We really appreciated all of his tips to keep the photos moving through all of the family shots so we can keep up with the pace of our wedding. We loved his work so much that we purchased some fine art canvases from his professional collection.

I would highly recommend Ari Rosenthal Photography! Ari was responsive throughout the entire process and guided me through what came next. Amanda was our awesome photographer! She was responsive and helped me stay on track. If I forgot about it, she remembered it. Amanda was fun, professional, and flexible. She caught little details like scuffs on pants or flyaway hairs.\r\n\r\nFor my budget, the price was definitely a splurge for photography but I\'m happy with the results and glad I did.

We worked with Ari and found him very helpful, professional, and affordable. Amanda was our photographer and she did an amazing job- many guests complimented us on her professionalism and kindness to guests. I would highly recommend both Ari and Amanda to another couple for wedding photography.

The pictures were very beautiful. The cost was a bit much though.
We got all of the shots that we wanted so that is what really mattered. I wouldn't really complain about them.

Ari was wonderful to work with - very open to new ideas and exceptionally patient! He was an integral part of our wedding day, yet he was very discreet. We received the DVD of photos within two weeks of our wedding! I would highly recommend Ari as your wedding photographer.

Our photographer was Amanda with Ari Rosenthal Photography... Amanda was wonderful and very professional. We are so happy with our pictures, thank you!

I read about Ari through reviews online, in which all of them spoke very highly about him. When we met with him and looked at his work it was everything we were looking for. He has a very artistic view and great visions. Whenever we had questions before the wedding he would get back to us right away. The day of the wedding I ended up getting very sick and in the ER. Although through the the whole day I was not feeling good, Ari was AMAZING. He was very complimentary, looking out for me and wonderful to our wedding party and all of our friends and family. He was making sure through all of the photos that I was okay, which was very thoughtful. He was very personable and made our day the best it could be. The very next day he had our photos up so we could see them and they turned out even better than I could have imagined. We loved all of our photos and everyone else that has seen them has said the same thing. Our entire wedding party had fun with him and loved all the ideas he had. When we met with Ari, I had a few ideas of where to go but told him we would like his input. The best part of the entire day and for our photos was letting Ari pick and choose sites along the way, those are our some of our favorite pictures. Ari has a great vision and I would strongly recommend him to everyone.

I felt very fortunate to have Ari as our photographer. I had viewed his work online, and also attended a wedding that he was the photographer for. Not only was I impressed with everything I saw, but I also really loved the artistic approach that he uses. Of course, he took traditional style pictures, but we really had fun with him when we went to the lakefront and other locations in order to capture some unique pictures. Ari caught the essence of the whole wedding parties personality, and made the wedding shoot a totally enjoyable time!

My husband and I did a lot of searching and really liked Ari Rosenthal Photography. They have a variety of photographers to capture any brides vision. Our photographer was extremely flexible and went above and beyond to capture the perfect shot. The different price packages and what you get for them really caught our attention. When our wedding was finished, our photographer handed over our pictures to us (less than a week later) on a CD. We were able to use them at our leisure and get copies at a cost that was reasonable to us. Our wedding was in June, so the there were a couple times that it took a few days for our photographer to get back to us, but other than that, we had absolutely no issues with anything else! I would recommend at least going onto the website or contacting Ari yourself. See what you think and hopefully, you will have as great of an experience as we did! Beautiful job! Highly Recommended to any bride!!

From the very beginning we received great response from Ari. He was extremely helpful identifying the correct photographer from his team to be our wedding photographer. Tia was perfect - very easy to work with and loved the final product!

Ari Rosenthal Photography did an absolutely wonderful job taking our wedding photographs! The photographer was pleasant to work with, had a great attitude, an eye for detail, dressed sharp, was reasonably affordable, and did a great job! We are more than pleased and have gotten so many compliments from family and friends! I would definitely work with Ari Rosenthal Photography again!

This was both of our second marriages, so we knew what we did and did not want in a photographer. We wanted someone who understood our vision. We wanted a person with true talent and artistry, not just photographic ability. Your wedding pictures tell the story of an event that will last a life-time. It goes by so fast and a good photographer will capture the essence of the day without you really knowing they are doing it. We also did not want to be sold an elaborate package and pay thousands of dollars for the cookie-cutter wedding pictures. Ari Rosenthal Photography allowed us to set our budget and work with a wonderful artist (of our choosing). Simply the best!!!!

Thank you so much Ari and Tia! You made our wedding memories incredible!

Both Ari and Tia (Tia was the photographer we worked with) were very accessible for questions/planning before the wedding. On the day of, weather was dicey, and Ari emailed us potential backup sites and Tia scouted out new ideas near the church, since our original outdoors scenes wouldn't work.....she found several clever little areas and worked creatively to make them beautiful!

We were not only VERY impressed with the photos......they were EXACTLY what we'd discussed and turned out beautifully.....but they were really fast. They were online within the week and we received the DVD within a week and a half.

Overall, we were very impressed and would highly recommend them.

I will tell everyone how great you guys are I loved every moment with you

Excellent work. Completely professional and helped move the whole day along.The pictures were absolutely stunning! They really work well together. I would highly recommend them for ANY occasion you want photographed.

Our pictures are just truly AMAZING!!!!! Ari and his team were wonderful to work with and captured every moment in such a creative and special way. My husband and I really appreciated the time he took to make sure each shot was perfect. Everyone who has viewed the photos have been in awe of how amazing they came out. We keep hearing how some of them look like they should be in a magazine.

I'm very particular about photos and was not let down in any way with ours.

Ari Rosenthal Photography will provide all future brides the best recap of the best day of their lives. Ari captured the moments as we remember them and we will forever be grateful for his skill and professionalism he possesses.

The quality of our wedding pictures were fabulous...definitely recommend this company for photography! We had Sarah and she was great...she captured wonderful moments on our special day!

Wedding shows? Forget that. Had we selected our photographer from a wedding show we went to, we would've had a vendor who has a record on CCAP, but appeared outstanding at the show. My point is, my husband and I picked most of our vendors based off reviews online (primarily from A-List and weddingwire.com) because of the photography mistake we almost made.

Running out of time to find a quality vendor, distraught at the horrible reviews of the photographer we almost went to, we found great reviews for Ari Rosenthal Photography. We were lucky he was still available. We like that he gives you rights to your proofs and has a very basic photo package, yet also has the ability to create wonderful wedding albums. Most vendors at the time we were planning our wedding owned the proofs for your pictures.

I also appreciated how Ari worked well with all our other vendors (i.e. Sweet Sounds of Music - Scott Thomas). Both Ari and Scott went out of their way to make sure certain parts of the reception were in sync so they could both deliver quality service without interfering with each other.

I agree with all the good reviews already listed about Ari (are there any bad? haven't seen 'em), his personality, work ethic, and talent (though we aren't really featured in his portfolio...at all....hint hint :P ). He has also become a friend, not only with my husband and me, but with my friends and family at the wedding. He goes above and beyond what we ever expected a photographer to provide....for a very reasonable price.

So back to the wedding....it was 9/26/09. My husband's father was not able to attend because he was dying of Alzheimer's. We decided that we wanted his father to be a part of the day anyway. We got the limo driver to take us to visit my husband's father between the ceremony and the reception. It had been quite awhile since his father smiled; but when he saw my husband and I kiss after we explained we got married, he was grinning ear to ear. He passed away a week later. We are convinced he understood what was happening and waited to see his last child get married before he passed away. What's the relevance of this story to this post? Ari had NO hesitations whatsoever about making the stop to see my husband's father. He was very sympathetic and caring while most people may be uncomfortable in that environment (understandably so)...but most importantly, he captured that one last happy moment that our family will never forget....and we can say that my father-in-law was part of our special day.

Thank you, Ari. (I was hoping to write a review earlier....but being a newlywed is tough! :P )

My pictures were the most important thing for capture all my favorite moments on my wedding day. Ari Rosenthal Photography did just that for me. I needed a photographer, and my wedding was coming up so fast. They were very flexible and made it easy to work with them for services. My wedding pictures turned out beautiful! I could not have imagined how great our memories were captured that day. All the photos I wanted and so much more, and at a reasonable price! I would recommend this photographer to anyone!

The memories of wedding day were captured beautifully and so much more. Our photographer went above and beyond with a creative eye in each detail. I can't thank you enough for all the work put into each image. I love all the photos!

Ari and our photographer Chris D. provided excellent services, communication was quick and easy through-out the process. We met with Chris to see his work, it was fabulous. He listened to and remembered our preferences. All of the shots that were important to us were captured.We were so thrilled with the final product. All of our friends were amazed at how fast the photos were posted, the artistry of the images and the beauty of the proofs. I highly recommend Ari Rosenthal Photography.

Ari did an awesome job photographing our big day! I would recommend him to any bride looking for a professional, flexible, and relaxed experience with a photographer.

Ari was amazing to work with. When I was first picking a photographer, and was extremely stressed, he gave me some very helpful advice which led me to choosing him for my photography for my wedding. Throughout the entire time from when I chose him till now (2 weeks after my wedding) he has been jsut a phone call or email away. He always responds quickly and is always very helpful in answering my questions. He has great customer service qualities. When I thought I had ruined my custom DVD of all of my photos I called him and he instantly was making me a new one. When i realized it was ok, I let him know and he still sent me the 2nd copy free of charge. i'm very impressed with the way he treats his customers. His photographer, Sarah, who actually was the one who photographed my wedding was awesome to work with. She was so patient with my not-so-attentive bridal party. She had many great suggestions and ideas for taking great pictures...and all of her pictures turned out amazing. i couldn't be happier with how they turned. My experiences with Ari Rosenthal Photography have been wonderful. i'm even recommending him to some friends who are planning weddings next year. (I hope they choose to go with him)! I'm very satisfied!

I was extremely happy with our photographer. Ari was so responsive and easy to deal with and out day of photographer Amanda was professional, fun and worked extremely hard. We could not wait to see the pictures and we received the link and the dvd very shortly after the wedding. We were so impressed with Amanda's work, she met and exceede all of our expectations. I definitely recommend working through Ari!

Ari was fantastic to work with. I spent a lot of time looking for a wedding photographer because I really wanted to make sure I found someone who was the right fit for us. I also wanted to be sure we were going to get great photos at a great value. As soon as I met Ari, I knew he was who I wanted to capture our special day. He has a refreshing, no-nonsense approach to wedding photos, and he is straight-forward and honest giving excellent advice based on his experience. Our photos are phenomenal, and I couldn't be more happy with the choice we made to book Ari. Simply put: He is the BEST!

This photographer was GREAT!!! He was so organized and knew exactly what to do! I didn't have any ideas as far as the pictures I wanted and he took charge and organized the group photos! It was FANTASTIC!!! We are so happy with the pictures and the value of this photographer. We could either get a disk of the photos and the rights to print our own copies, or get a fabulous book created by the photographer. SOOO HAPPY!!

Ari was FANTASTIC to work with! We LOVE our pictures and had the best time working with him at our wedding. He was very professional and punctual while also being fun! Our pictures are better than we could have ever hoped for and are something we will cherish forever! Thanks Ari!

I was very happy with Ari's work and price

We worked with Chris--he was recommended by Ari. We had a great experience working with him. We met him a few months before and he was very detail oriented and professional--he also made us feel very comfortable. Both Chris and Ari were very responsive and quickly replied to any phone call or e-mail. Chris was great on the day of the wedding and moved things along smoothly. We barely noticed he was taking pictures, and they turned out very nicely. The best part is that we recieved our photos two days after the wedding! Overall a great value and experience. I highly recommend working with
Ari and the photographers he works with.

We had Todd as our photographer. He was great!! He got all of the traditional shots, plus a bunch of fun ones too! After a while, we didn't even notice that he was there. We ended up getting a ton of really great candid shots which is what we wanted. He was very responsive to doing what we asked of him. One of the best things about using Ari is the fact that you get ownership rights to ALL of your photos! They come on a DVD and you can do what you want with them. All of the pictures are gorgeous and great quality. We are looking forward to creatring some of the pretty photo books that Ari has at his studio this fall. Would recommend using him to anyone!!

We had a wonderful experience with Ari and his team. From the time that he assisted with placing us with the right photographer from his team to the creation of our fabulous wedding album. We couldn't recommend them enough - very professional and he wants to work with you. We felt that he was really interested in what we wanted, not just to sell us a service. Wedding photography is such a huge expense on your wedding budget and Ari Rosenthal Photography was the best prices that we found. Not only was it the best price, but we found it also to be the best service. We had our wedding pictues on disk within days of our wedding! Thank you Ari! - Jim & Erin J., Milwaukee, WI

Ari Rosenthal Photography was amazing. Not only was he very attentive leading up to our wedding, but the final product was exactly what we wanted. The day before our wedding, Ari severely hurt his back. He called us to let us know, however already had a back up photographer booked just in case, and had showed us her work. The day of our wedding, Ari was there and the back up photographer showed up about halfway through to take over. She was wonderful. We got the disk of photos along with the rights to all of them about a week and a half after the wedding...it was perfect!

We initially spoke with Ari to be our photographer but when our date didn't work for him, he was quick to recommend one of his other photographers. Chris was the one we ended up going with. We met with both of them and they both have pretty flexible schedules. Chris was willing to shoot anything that we may have asked him to do. We also gave him the freedom to shoot what he thought would make for really good pictures. Overall, I am recommending Ari and Chris to anyone that I find out is getting married. Chris was so easy going and a pleasure to work with. The cost is well worth the service that they provide. We recieved our pictures in the mail before we returned from our honeymoon. So, probably about a week after the wedding. Very quick turn around.

A Very Pleased Husband and Wife-

Ari was always quick to respond to any questions which I really appreciated. Also, the options for photography are very flexible and fit all types of budgets and needs - we were able to add additional time on the spot at the reception and it was the same cost as if we paid for the hour up front. We did end up adding an hour and it allowed us to capture our event. We received the DVD of images in less than two weeks of the ceremony as well!!

Ari was awesome! He took amazing photographs and really listened to what we wanted. He was well worth the cost (which was low anyway) and best of all, we got to keep digital copies of our pictures!!!

Ari and his photographer were very nice and professional.

However, Ari recommended "mpix.com" stating that it was better than Walgreens for printing pictures. It wasn't. Walgreen's pictures were just as high quality as mpix, and Walgreen's was cheaper.

Working with Ari Rosenthal Photography was an excellent experience - Ari was very helpful in listening to what we wanted and helping us select a photographer who could capture the style of photography we were looking for. The photographs told the story of our wedding day perfectly and I have received so many compliments. I would recommend Ari Rosenthal Photography to anyone!

Ari was amazing! First, the pictures he took were beautiful! He respected our wishes and never forced us into taking pictures we didn't want to and he never forced us into those silly typical wedding poses, per our request. He was kind and patient, never got frustrated, a total sea of calm. His pictures were of the photojournalistic style but he also did posed family photos. Really, I couldn't say enough wonderful things about him! And his rates are unbelievable to make things even better!

We used Ari Rosenthal because he offers the option to receive a DVD with all our photos rather than buying an album. We enjoyed worked with Chris; he was wonderful and very professional. With our compressed time frame, he managed to get all the photos in after the ceremony and still make the reception at the other end of town on time. The photos turned out just beautiful too despite the weather.

We were extremely pleased with Ari and would recommend him to others. We love the creativity of our photographs.

Ari was AMAZING!!! Our pictures turned out so beautiful. He got shots that I didn't even think he was around for.

Marc was great. Captured everything we wanted and more. He is a perfectionist so he checked every picture before letting people move. He also did a lot of candids which was great. We got our pictures back in about 2 weeks on a dvd so we were able to print what we wanted which I loved!

Ari is an amazing artist! He is not only great at what he does, but he also engages with the rest of the party to make it fun for everyone. He was very professional, friendly and again, great at what he does. He was also kind enough to help us last minute and put us in contact with someone for a screen so we could play our wedding video on. It was nice because he went above and beyond his call of duty which is definitely hard to find in any vendor now a days. I would highly recommend Ari to anyone in the future and not just for a wedding, but for any type of special occassion.

Ari is a great guy to work with! He work with us to make sure I had all the photos that I wanted plus more!

Ari was absolutely wonderful and ready to find the best settings for beautiful pictures.

Ari Rosenthal Photography was the best choice we made for our wedding! The emotion of the day was captured in every picture!

Ari was WONDERFUL!! He wasn't able to shoot our wedding but matched us up through his network with an amazing photographer. Between Ari and Rich, we got wonderful pictures. They made it very easy. We got married on April 5, 2008 and we had our DVD with all our prints on it by the following Friday. We even got our copyrights immediately. Ari doesn't pressure you to buy anything. He wants you to have what you want and tries to design his business with that in mind. I would HIGHLY recommend utilizing Ari Rosenthal for your wedding's photography.

Ari is amazing! He is so personable and my photos were amazing!!!!!!

Lovely pictures. Great photographer. Five Star service.

Our photographer as stung by a wasp. My family was crazy. The kids were crying. All through this, the photographer made sure we had great pictures of everyone. I love them!

Our experience with Ari Rosenthal Photography was absolutely amazing. Our pictures turned out wonderful and we couldn't be happier.

Ari is a great photographer to work with. He is very laid back, but assertive - which is helpful if you have a large wedding party to work with. His prices are extremely affordable in comparison to other photographers - prints are extra, but you own all your images, which is awesome. I have and will continue to recommend Ari Rosenthal for wedding photography.

Ari's team did a fantastic job. The pictures came out great and it was great that he was able to give us a DVD to put together our own albums.

Entirely pleased with the service and quality of pictures we received.

Ari and his photographers have an incredible eye for photographic art. They are always pleasure to work with.

I'm incredibly fortunate, as a wedding DJ, to work with some creatively inspiring photographers. Ari not only has a wonderful eye for a memorable shot, but surrounds himself with other, quality shooters that enhance his reputation. The way that couples I recommend him to talk about him, I know that the customer service side of his business is just as important. Looking forward to many more nights working together, making memories happen!
