Reviews for Pilster Photography
GUEST




Trust me, Chad and the entire Pilster Photography team are exactly what you are looking for. You have found a photographer who will capture one of the biggest moments of your life in a meaningful, fun, unique, artistic and beautiful way. I can't say enough about how impressed my husband and I were with everything from our mini-session, rehearsal dinner, and wedding day. Chad was professional, thorough, flexible, and captured our wedding beautifully. Many of our guests commented on how "awesome" our photographers were ... and many more have commented on what amazing pictures we have of our wedding day.

If I could give Chad higher than 5/5 I would in a heartbeat. He was everything I could ask for and more! He was there from the time we woke up in the morning until we put the do not disturb sign on the door (we were married on NYE so the party went until 2:00 am). If I have any future events that require a photographer he will be my first and only choice! Thank-you so much Chad...the pictures were phenomenal!!!!

Chad was amazing. He traveled to Key West to shoot my wedding and I couldn't have been happier. He took pictures for 2 whole days, following me and my group around everywhere. He called himself the "fly on the wall" and he was right. After a while I forgot he was even there. I am partial and think that my pictures were amazing, but I was told by all my family and friends they also thought his work was the best photography they had seen. And with Key West in the background, it made it even more amazing. When you see my pictures you'll understand why. Chad's work is very artistic. I cannot brag him up enough! You won't be disappointed! Oh, and compared to other photographers of his class, he is way affordable! Which always helps! I can't wait to work with him again! Check my pictures out!

Chad was wonderful to work with. He was so attentive and made sure to document every special moment of that day. My husband and I can look back at our photos and remember every detail. He will never truly know what he did for us and how much we appreciate it. I would definitely recommend him for future wedding events!

Our pictures were everything I had wanted! They are so good that some look like they should be in a magazine. He really captured all of the key moments of that day without my directing him which was awesome!

Pilster Photography & Val Becker did an EXCELLENT job! They were great to be around and knew how to get the best picture out of the surroundings. We had an outdoor beach wedding, and their attention to detail and excellent use of natural light is very evident in the final photos. They truly were able to capture every part of our wedding and reception and we were EXTREMELY happy with the photos & service! I would HIGHLY recommend using them for your upcoming wedding or special event!!

Working with Chad was a dream! From our engagement session until the last picture was snapped at our wedding reception, he and his team were professional and innovative. He was very open to trying new things and got that we didn't just want traditional, boring pictures with people standing around. He was affordable and my mother-in-law even hired him to shoot our rehearsal dinner because she was pleased with our e-session photos. We still keep in touch with Chad and his wife and were able to make friends our of the process! My husband and I will definitely hire Chad for all of our professional photography needs in the future. When all is said and done, all you have are the photos and we are so glad we trusted Chad to tell the story of our special day. Our guests are still raving about the photos 6 months later and our friends hired Chad for their wedding because they were so impressed. Best decision we made!

We had not met Chad prior to our wedding day. He was brought in by our main photographer as a second camera and proved to be the shining star where our photography was concerned. He is extremely professional, personable and clearly passionate about what he does. My husband and his groomsmen were able to relax in Chad's presence and had a lot of fun with him while shooting pre-wedding photos. Chad was able to capture absolutely beautiful and priceless candid moments through his photojournalistic approach. We are so thrilled with the articistic quality of our wedding photos and have received endless compliments and reviews from family and friends. I worked very hard for a year with my mother planning the wedding and was very specific about the type of decor and feel my husband and I wanted to create for that day. I am so pleased to have photos that capture the people, the moments and all of the details that we worked so hard to create. Our family has photos we can revisit throughout the years to cherish and remember a very special and significant day. Do consider Chad for your wedding. He will not disappoint you.
Chad was great! He shares my vision of what wedding photos should be and he truly delivered. He was professional and fun. Out of all of the aspects of our wedding, the photography is the thing people comment on the most.

Pilster Photography is an amazing company filled with talented and COOL photographers. They are definitely the right choice for the modern and "outside of the box" couple.
I had the pleasure of working with Chad on a wedding recently. His attention to detail and creative approach was more than impressive. I am a makeup artist that has been around many photographers in my career, but few have impressed me as much as Chad. He truly has an eye for his art. He sees things that most tend to over-look. I would recommend him to any bride that is looking for that special artistic touch.

Chad Pilster is absolutely amazing to work with. It's always nice to work with other wedding professionals who help make the night run smoothly. It's also nice to see photographers who are there to capture the little memories - the most important part!

Chad from Pilster Photography is great to work with. His talent shows in the photos he has taken and his ease of taking pictures with the bride and grooms says it all when you see the finished product. I would recommend Chad for your photography needs.
Chad is really quite talented and his eye for photographer is really refreshing.
