GUEST




We had excellent service! All of our questions were answered and our photographers were amazing! The young man running our photo booth did a great job! We love all of the pictures and he took the time to enlarge all of the photo booth pictures Ben and I were in!
GUEST




They did an amazing job! Jerry was fantastic on our wedding day! He knew exactly what he was doing and the pictures turned out amazing! Great company to go with and trust for your big day!
GUEST




Timothy Whaley & Associates was great to work with for our wedding photographs! They assigned the best photographer ever - Gokhan - he was charming, fun, sincere, knowledgable and captured everything to create a great memory in our pictures. Everyone that we spoke to during the process was very professional and helpful. They answered questions we didn't even know to ask about and created a perfect way to keep memories of our special day. We look forward to using them in the future for family portraits!
GUEST




We are very satisfied with the services and products that TWA provides. Our photographer (Heidi) and photojournalist (Nick) were on time, cordial, and fun! The temps on our wedding day were COLD (Mid February, 2013), and being outdoor enthusiasts we wanted as many pictures outside as possible. Heidi and Nick were prepared to continue working as long as we could take the cold to get the pictures we wanted, and never once complained about the weather. They were conscious of the wedding party and allowed for 'warm up breaks' as needed, but always continued scouting the area for ideas while we were inside. The creativity, angles, filters used to capture different lighting aspects, and overall feel of the photos we received is everything we were hoping for. TWA provided us with an excellent service, professional staff, and captured our special day with some beautiful images.
GUEST




We could not have dreamed that working with any photographer would have been as easy and enjoyable as working with Palo from TWA photography. From beginning to end we had an outstanding experience. He was friendly but very professional and kept everything moving without being rude. He was even fantastic with our 3 year old ring bearer who couldn't seem to keep both shoes on.
Prior to working with Palo we also had an amazing experience with the booking agent. He was willing to meet us late evening out in the suburbs to accommodate my husband's night shift schedule. They followed up with us, were very reasonable for the value they provided and incredibly friendly service at every...
GUEST




Heidi was our photographer and Douglas was our photojournalist. I have not seen the pictures yet, but I was very impressed with both of them the day of the wedding! Both of them exceeded my expectations by far! I could not have asked for a better photographer!
GUEST




The initial consultation with Timothy Whaley was excellent. They obtained detailed information and explained a great deal about their company. Samples of work was provided and I did not feel rushed at all.
Our photographer Nicki O. was fabulous. She was creative, fun and energetic.
Nicki interacted with all the guests and took a ton of pictures.
GUEST




We had 2 photographers and 1 videographer. They were all great! They kept the pictures moving and things moving smoothly. I can't wait to see the pictures!
GUEST




This company was by far one of the best photography businesses that have ever existed. From their personalized customer service to their talented and fun photographers, I would not recommend any other company to brides than this one!! Totally worth every single penny and more!! Love them!
GUEST




TWA could not have possibly picked a better photographer for my wedding. He was absolutely perfect for my style (very sarcastic and laid back). He was joking along with us the whole time we were getting ready, was extremely efficient in sticking to the hectic daily schedule, and the photos he showed me that day were breathtaking. We can't wait to see the full album! Plus the company will waive all future sitting fees for photo shoots in the future (baby photos, family pics, etc.).
GUEST




They were very helpful to help us decide what we wanted to take pictures of. I had opted not to have a videographer and had 2 photographers instead. They were able to capture the WHOLE day! the picture quality was also fabulous.
GUEST




Our album was beautiful. THe staff and photographers were very helpful and fun to work with.
GUEST




A very positive experience from start to finish! Our photographer, Tim, was great. I can't wait to see how the final pictures turn out.
GUEST




We received many compliments from our guests about both of our photographers. They were friendly and professional. Now that I've seen the proofs, I am also very happy with that.
GUEST




I am so happy that we chose Timothy Whaley, I am in love with our pictures! The staff is so nice and friendly! I would defiantly recommend them to my family and friends
GUEST




I would absolutely reccomend their photography! We had Mikhail as our photographer and he was fabulous! They are professional and offer outstanding photography for a great price.
GUEST




Timothy Whaley did a great job photographing our special day. We had two photographers who were both prompt, got to know us and what we wanted and did a wonderful job photographing all aspects of the day. I would strongly recommend using TWA. Thanks!
GUEST




I can't say enough great things about Timothy Whaley Photographic Artists! Everything they did turned out perfect and its because they made me feel super comfortable on my wedding day. I was definitely nervous that day but I didn't want it to show in my photos- both of my photographers were so easy to talk to and outgoing. Since I spent most of the day with them, they were able to put me at ease while making the photography experience enjoyable. It DEFINITELY shows in all of the pictures. Fabulous company, wonderful experience.
GUEST




Pavel was an AMAZING photographer. We have not seen the finished product yet, but he was the hardest working photographer I have ever seen at a wedding. He had some incredibly unique ideas for fun shots that strayed away from the boring posed shots I have seen so many times before. You can ask anyone involved in our bridal party... Pavel made our whole day! He had us girls laughing and enjoying our time getting ready, he crafted a wonderful "first look" for my husband and I, and he kept the whole bridal party having fun through our endless shoot around the city! Additionally, Bill Jaeger was our sales coordinator and I felt that he was very easy to get a hold of throughout our process and the whole staff is quick to return emails or phone calls. TWA is great!
GUEST




Jerry Amber is the best photographer! We are so happy to have had him shoot our wedding!!!
GUEST




We had Larry S. as our photographer and he was amazing! We loved him, he made everyone comfortable and had such great ideas for pictures! Worth every penny!!!!! You will not be disappointed!!!
GUEST




Deanne and Jennifer were absolutely the best! I enjoyed how they were both on my husband and I. With all the excitement of a wedding and the guest wanting your attention, I nearly would forget about my own professional photos. But Deanne and Jennifer stayed on top of us to get in some great shots! Recently married Sept 7, 2012. I haven't had the opportunity to see the final project However, Im sure i won't be disappointed.
I enjoyed working with both ladies and because i have seen their work in the past im 100% positive that the memories they captured will last a lifetime of happiness!
GUEST




Timothy Whaley photography and videography was outstanding. Our photos and videos from our September wedding turned out great! We could not have asked for a better experience! They were willing to work with our schedules and were always available to answer any questions we had.

I used Timothy Whaley Photographic Artists for my engagement pictures and wedding and I could not be happier with my choice! I absolutely love all of our pictures! We had Pavel as our main photographer for our wedding and he was amazing! We had such a great time taking pictures and even the guys raved about how much fun they had taking pictures (which is not always an easy task to get them all to do). Pavel was full of great ideas and helped out in any way he could to make the day go smooth. Kit was our second photographer and she was so nice and took amazing pictures as well. We had such a great time and took so many fun and traditional pictures that we wish we could do it all over again!
GUEST




We had a great experience with Timothy Whaley and Associates every step of the way....from the beginning until the picking of our bridal album.

TWA is a great company to work with. They provided my husband and I with amazing memorabilia from our wedding that we will have for a lifetime. The staff at TWA (and I got to meet a lot of them) were also very nice, but I'm not surprised because Timothy Whaley seems very personable and was willing to work with my husband and I (i.e. budget, dates, etc.). Not only were they great to us, they were also great to our guests. We can't wait to use our lifetime of free photography with TWA... maybe pregnancy photos are next. :)
GUEST




This is an amazing company. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish. We had two photographers so not one moment was missed. We were able to choose out photographer who matched our styles perfectly. We ended up having a thunderstorm after the ceremony so the original idea of pictures had to be changed but our photographer came up with amazing photos that turned out better than out original ideas. The proofs came back extremely fast and we were given all the info for the bridal album and all of our questions were answered quickly. Great company to do business with !!!
GUEST




My husband and I absolutely loved our photography on our wedding day. It was, by far, the BEST day of my life (so far :) )!! Our photographer Mikhail, was absolutely amazing! He was extremely down to earth and became a part of the wedding party in no time. Our pictures turned out great and we couldn't be happier with our decision in choosing TWA! :)
GUEST




Timothy Whaley Photography has been an excellent company to work with! They have upbeat, enthusiastic personnel at every stage of the process from sales and phone support to viewig proofs and making an album. They provide a wide array of products and services and have current work of their photographers to show. Overall, it has been the caliber of photographers and the quality of the photographs that has blown me away! We have been able to work with 3 different photographers through Timothy Whaley (engagement session, and 2 wedding photographers) and each was flexible, creative, and FANTASTIC! We have a large family and there was A LOT going on before and after the ceremony, but our photographers kept us on task and captured our special day as if it was a smallgathering of friends! The amount of details captured was outstanding and will keep every moment vivid and clear in everyone's mind!
GUEST




For our wedding we used Timothy Whaley for our pictures. We read all their reviews and was impressed to we went to see them and we are so happy we did. Tony A was our photographer and he was awesome and on the ball we got so many great shots. And to top it off our proofs were in in 3 weeks- awesome!!
GUEST




When my husband and I look back on the photography part of the wedding day, we have nothing but positive memories! We honestly feel that we wouldn't change a thing about Timothy Whaley Photographic Artists. And, we are so grateful for their time and patience with us on our wedding day. They did an incredible job (ALL day!) and we were blown away by how fabulous they were to work with! We had a photographer and a photojournalist-- they were both very professional and creative. And they were so obliging when it came to taking pictures that weren't on the list that we had provided them with beforehand! I really feel that the style of the images that they took were exactly what my husband and I had in mind!
GUEST




We really enjoyed working with Timothy Whaley. Our wedding proofs are great!
GUEST




We had a great photographer! Everything went smoothly the day of the wedding.
GUEST




I am so happy I used Timothy Whaley and Associates for photography on my wedding day. They were very thorough and professional leading up to the wedding regarding what I wanted out of my photography and what was important to me. I had two great photographers at my wedding and they captured SO many amazing pictures. I got my proofs back recently and was so impressed with just the raw, unedited photos! I am starting to compile photo choices for my bridal album now and I'm having a hard time because there are too many great choices!
GUEST




We absolutely loved working with Timothy Whaley & Associates. We used them for photography, videography, and photo booth. We had 2 photographers for our big day and I would highly recommend this option!! Both of them were very friendly and made us feel very comfortable. They were able to capture beautifully all the special/important moments (and many many great candid shots). They worked with us before the big day to ensure that they what we wanted and also showed up early to ensure they captured everything. Our videographer was also amazing! He was able to capture everything without being intrusive. The staff is very accomodating (even for the last minute requests). We have had numerous comments from guests on how great the photos are. Overall we had a great experience and would highly reccomend.
GUEST




We had Tony photograph our wedding and also another photographer for our engagement pictures. We absolutely love our pictures and how great of a company TW&A was to work with. They have affordable packages and amazing photographers. Could not have asked for anything more.
GUEST




When my husband and I met with Timothy Whaley's staff we were immediately impressed. They were helpful, professional and kind. We were introduced to our main photographer, Maria soon after and she was great. She listened to what we had to say, showed us her wonderful work and we were hooked. On our wedding day, Maria arrived early and got to work. She remained completely professional all day. She took us to an amazing location on Lake Michigan where no other couples were. We also had a second photographer, Kit, who was just as wonderful. She took great shots that help show the whole wedding story. The proofs came back quickly and are utterly fantastic from pre-wedding to reception! The value is amazing and the photo's are of the highest quality. I would recommend Thimothy Whaley's photographer's to everyone!!!
GUEST




We used Timothy Whaley for our photography and wedding video. The service that Timothy Whaley provided was above and beyond what we expected. When we signed with them we met our photographer and explained what we wanted. Luke and his wife delivered!! They arrrived on time and were very professional and efficient. They remembered names and were able to line people up quickly to get the most out of our time. When we went to pick up our proof album (less than a month after the wedding) we were surprised to know that our wedding video was ready too! The video looks very clear, the only thing I would suggest as an improvement would be an additional microphone to be given to the priest to share with anyone who is reading as well, since our chuch is big it was a little hard to hear at points of the ceremony. Other than that, we are completely pleased with our services and defenitively recomend them to friends and others.
GUEST




I won a photo package from a bridal show, and if anyone has ever won anything at bridal show they know nothing is every truly free, so I was skeptical. The other thing I was concerned with was were they going to give me one of their less experienced photographers? Well Timothy Whaley put all my fears to rest. Not only did I receive the full photography package, I had an amazing photographer! He really worked with us and took the time to learn about us and what kind of people we were. Another thing that I loved was that while there were a ton of pictures of us there were also a good amount of our guests, which was something that was important to us. He captured some really great moments and we have amazing wedding photos! I can't thank Mike or the team at Timothy Whaley enough! They really exceeded our expectations! What more can you ask for on your wedding day?
GUEST




I was very pleased wth my photography and videography services I received for my wedding!! Great job!!
GUEST




We lhad a great experience with both our photographer and videographer with Timothy Whaley & Associates. Our photographer was very accommodating, very friendly, and allowed us to enjoy the wedding :) Videographer was great cause we only had to talk to him once at the end of the night, other than that he did his job well without interrupting us constantly like some do.
GUEST




We loved Timothy Whaley and would recommend them to anyone that is getting married. The packages they have for photography are great. We got a package that had two photographers and the pictures were stunning. We also got a photo booth through them and it was a wonderful alternative to traditional favors.
GUEST




We recently got married and recieved our proofs just a few days ago earlier than expected and are so happy with the job our photographers did. We have know. Friends and family to pick good and bad photographers so when it came to picking our photog we did our research, Timothy Whaley was a perfect fit for us, they provided all day coverage and a second photojournalist photog with at an affordable rate. Our main photog was very flexible and even gave us his personal cell in case we needed to get a hold of him, he was very flexible even up to the day of. He showed up to our hotel and happened to catch the guys getting ready before coming to take pictures of the girls. Very suprised and happy we were able to get those pictures I didn't expect! I was particular on the types of photos I wanted, I hate so many formal pictures my photog suggested I email him some of he ones I had s een online I did and he did a wonderful job he caught those moments between my husband and I and our friends that were natural and not staged. We could not be any happier with our choice in vendors, lookin at our pictures you really feel like your going back to that night from strt to end.
We did our research understood our contract and were very happy wih our choice!!
GUEST




The photographer was great...he was willing to take any photo pose you wished to have. He also had great poses he chose
GUEST




Timothy Whaley was such an amazing company to work with! They made my wedding day soooo stress free and enjoying to know I didnt need to worry about one of the most important parts of a wedding which is pictures!
GUEST




I had excellent service with Timothy Whaley and Associates, I would recommend them for any wedding.
GUEST




This company was amazing from the very beginning to the end even when picking up our proofs and going over the ordering. My photos are absolutly gorgeous and the only problem I will have is picking which ones I want I love them all so much!!!!
GUEST




This vendor is not just another company. They pride themselves on using little advertising and get most of their customers through word of mouth. Photography is a passion of mine, so picking the most skilled and capable photography studio mattered GREATLY to me. All of our customer service reps have been PHENOMENAL - so kind, to the point, and not pushy at all. The moments both Heidi and Nicki captured on our wedding day were exceptional - I don't think you can go wrong with TWA!
GUEST




We found out about Timothy Whaley & Associates after joining TheKnot.com. We received a postcard in the mail regarding their services, and the postcard included a promotional deal - so we thought, "why not check them out?" We made an appointment to see them at their Lombard office. Upon just stepping into the studio, we took note of all of the vibrant photographs and canvases that aligned their office, and we were quite impressed!
We met with one of the associates during that initial visit to discuss the services they offered. We felt especially comfortable with this studio after they discussed how we are paired with photographers. It meant a lot to us to know that we are not just assigned a photographer for our wedding. Instead, we are asked a series of questions during that first visit to get a sense for how we want to tell our wedding story. After getting a feel for what we're seeking, the studio pairs us up with a photographer, and we are encouraged to meet with them in advance of the wedding to discuss logistics. AND, if after that initial meeting with our photographer, we did not feel that we meshed well, we had the option to switch photographers. It was a very comforting feeling to have this option, if needed. We, however, met out photographer approximately 6-8 months in advance of the wedding, and kept in touch with him throughout the process, as new details emerged. Needless to say, we did not need to utilize the option - which was great!
Even better, we were completely comfortable with our head photographer on the day of the wedding, which resulted in a lot of candid photos that captured our special moments that day. It was almost like the photographer wasn't there, and so we could just be ourselves and not feel that we had to 'pose' the entire day.
Our photographers and videographer were very professional, personable, and flexible. As last minute changes emerged on the day of the wedding, they were quick to react and they came up with fun, original ideas for pictures! Our whole bridal party had a great time with the team - and it shows in the photos, which is the only tangible documentation left to remember that day!
Check out Timothy Whaley & Associates! You won't be disappointed!
GUEST




Heidi was our photographer and she was awesome. We started with hair at 8am followed by makeup and the wedding was not until 5pm. Heidi offered to come to hair and makeup and stay through the end of the wedding. I gave her a hall pass for hair and makeup, but she met us at 11:30 for pre-wedding pictures. She was totally flexible and willing to do anything! She was very creative with romantic, charming and fun shots~!

Timothy Whaley Photographic Artists were more than I ever could have imagined for my wedding. From the initial consultation through to ordering, they have been very attentive to our needs and ensuring the highest quality. We chose a contract that offered both a storyteller photographer and photojournalist; they were WONDERFUL! Took the time to find out our style, what we wanted that day, and got to really know us. During the wedding I hardly knew they were there, and that's what I wanted. They captured so many wonderful moments we're having a hard time deciding what photos to put in our album. What a wonderful dilemma to have! Everyone is complementing us on our choice. I would definitely use TWA again for either another special event or just family photos. You should use them too!
GUEST




My photographer was Mike and he did a FANTASTIC job. I have had the chance to see all my pictures and he caught all of the great moments and I have had nothing but great reviews of what he did. Mike was very personal, profession and had a great sense of humor...especially with my rowdie crowd. My wedding was a two day event so my photographer and videographer were there early ready and set up and always had a smile on their face...which helped on our big day. Thanks again for everything, especially giving me the opportunity to have everything caputred on film after such a fast/crazy day.
GUEST




TWA was an amazing choice for my wedding day. They were extremely helpful and professional from the time I signed with them until now after my wedding. I absolutely loved Joel & Maria as my photographer and photojournalist, and I got so many compliments on the photobooth as well as the attendants working it. Everything that day was perfect--especially my photographers!
GUEST




Loved our photographer Wally! His personality was very outgoing and personable, made it fun to work with him throughout the day.
GUEST




We chose Timothy Whaley as our photographer, we had two photographers for a great price. We had a free engagement photoshoot which was pretty cheesy and generic which worried us, but then we met with our photographer and looked at his portfolio and felt much better. Wally was hilarious, he kept the jokes rolling and his personality fit right in with our wedding guests and showed in the photos. Wally also knows weddings, he actually helped us plan the ceremony schedule which we were stuck on. Michael was our photojournalistic photographer and he was so nice! He really made sure he got all the pictures we wanted throughout the ceremony and reception. We just received our photos and we love them!! I don't know how I am going to decide which to choose. Overall,we had a great experience, I thought we got a great deal for 2 photographers at the price and they added to the fun of the wedding and created awesome photos!
GUEST




I loved that everyone I met with Timothy Whaley was very professional yet very relatable. And that was very important to my husband and I - we wanted to work with people who matched our personalities. They picked a photographer for us who complimented us well and who made sure our special day was captured exactly the way we wanted it. All of the images were beautiful, fun, elegant and creative. I also loved that our photographer called me the week of the wedding to discuss all the details, not leaving a thing out and really eased my worry on wedding day. And even offered his words of wisdom which was really what I needed to hear right then!
GUEST




We heard about Timothy Whaley as a recommendation from the general manager of our reception site. TWA was extremely flexible with our schedules - we live in the city and work in the city and they were able to meet with us on our time and make it work. They were extremely helpful and patient as we have never booked a photographer before and we had several questions. Even after our appointment, I had a few follow up questions I sent via email and received thorough responses within the same day. Bill J. was our photographer and he did a wonderful job. He helped us come up with locations for outdoor pictures and got some great photos with our huge, extended familie after the church ceremony (we only were allowed a half hour to do this and we, along with our families, are extremely happy with the outcome.) Bill not only did an extraordinary job with our photos, he also came prepared for any wedding day emergency - which did occur as the zipper on my bridesmaid's dress caught and he had needlenose pliers which did the trick! Bill stayed for our entire reception and we are still getting comments and compliments from our guests about how nice and hardworking our photographer was! We couldn't be more pleased with how our proofs turned out and we are excited to make our print selections. We will definitely recommend Bill and TWA to our friends and family in the future! Thank you SO much for capturing all of the wonderful memories from our wedding!!
GUEST




Jerry was our photographer and he was great. He knew exactly what poses to put us in, and he worked quickly. He knew who the important family members were and knew where to find them when he needed them. Miro was our photojournalist and he was also wonderful! Rex, the videographer, did a great job as well.
Our original photographer, David, had to cancel a week before our wedding. Timothy Whaley called us right away and gave us Jerry, who they claimed is their most requested photographer.
GUEST




We had an amazing photographer who knew when to take charge but also knew when to step back. I can't wait to see our photos!
GUEST




Our wedding photos and engagement photos were unbelievable!! I recommend using twa as your photographer for your wedding!! They were ontime friendly and I really didn't even notice they were there they were so good!!! I'm so happy with our proofs!!!
GUEST




We used Timothy Whaley & Associates for both our engagement session and our wedding and are extremely pleased with how the pictures turned out. They have great incentives and are very helpful with determining what will work best for you. Tim was our photographer at the wedding and he did an awesome job of keeping everyone on track and had a great vision of what we were looking for. I look forward to using them in the future for our family portraits as well!
GUEST




Timothy whaley and assoc did not disappoint! They were always so accommodating to any needs I had. My photographer was Tony....he was great! The pics turned out beautiful and I could not be happier! We can't wait to make our bridal album and see our video!! Thank you for capturing all the important moments of our special day :)
GUEST




I wish I could work with these people daily. Seriously the nicest people and so much fun! I loved every minute! Cannot WAIT to see our pictures.
GUEST




Our photographer was GREAT! Actually both of them were. We have received prints and other products in a timely manner.
GUEST




We had two photographers from Timothy Whaley and Associates, Harry and Lisa, shoot our wedding on August 27, 2011. We haven’t seen the proofs yet, so this initial review is just of our experience working with TWA thus far. I found the sales pitch to be the same as every other larger studio that we met with in terms of booking an hour long appointment to go through the portfolios and hear about pricing packages. We chose TWA because we felt we had the most options for photographers and we liked the body of work they were showing us. Also, the prices at TWA are really affordable. We scheduled an engagement shoot with Harry, our main photographer a few months before the wedding to get to know his style better. Harry is WONDERFUL to work with. He is very kind and so professional. He suggested better poses to get just the right shot from my husband and me. The day of the wedding Harry was with the ladies and Lisa met up with the guys at the hotel. My husband said that the men had so much fun with Lisa. Harry was great with the girls, he was really unobtrusive and made the picture taking a breeze. Both Harry and Lisa were a joy to work with. They have different styles, but we’re so excited to see the mix of pictures we got. They also did a lot of picture taking without any direction from us, so we didn’t feel like we had to manage them at all that day, but we could see them running around taking all of the pictures we wanted. Like I said, we haven’t seen our proofs yet, but we are really happy with our choice thus far and had a great experience with the photographers from TWA.
GUEST




Timothy Whaley has been rated number one on this website for a few years now and that is truly because people are satisfied with the quality of work of the photographs that are taken! I have yet to see the pictures as of right now but I'm not worried because I know I booked a great company by other reviews that I read before booking and other brides who also booked them before I did. It rained and hailed on our wedding day which made us change our bridal party picture locations a few times but our photographer was willing to go anywhere and do any pictures that we wanted him to. We didn't have much time at the church after the ceremony to take pictures and our photographer was not listening to everyone around him telling him that he had to hurry up but we still got all of the pictures that we wanted. I'm dying with anticipation to see our pictures now!
GUEST




Both photographers and videographer were really great in directing us and letting us give our input during the picture taking of our wedding day. Took as many pictures as we wanted. Can't wait to see what they look like!
GUEST




Timothy Whaley and Associates captured our entire wedding day! The photographer was very personable, the guests loved him! The pictures turned out great, we will cherish them forever!
GUEST




We could not be happier with the service that we received from Timothy Whaley and Associates. We used them for our wedding on Aug 05,2011 as well as our engagement session. We have not gotten to see our wedding photos yet but our engagement photos are fabulous. We get compliments on them all the time. Amber was our photographer the day of the engagement shoot. She was very fun and made the session fun and stress free which in turn showed in the photos. Rosemary was our photographer for the wedding. She was very professional and it was a pleasure working with her. I cant wait to see our photos from the big day ! I highly recommend Timothy Whaley !!!
GUEST




My husband and I did not know of Timothy Whaley until we started researching photographers for our July 2011 wedding. All reviews (including strong recommendations from the knot) lead us to schedule a consolation. At the point of the meeting we had met with several other photographers yet we left so impressed that we signed a contract on the spot.
During the entire wedding process Timothy Whaley was helpful, informative and prompt in answering our MANY questions. On the day of our wedding Wally and Rosemary were prompt, knowledgeable, extremely flexible and accommodating.
Our proofs are now available online and we have received so many compliments! Because of our positive experience we were able to refer some of our close friends to Timothy (one of which will be using them for their October wedding).
Though we started with no referrals we left the process with many of our wedding guests telling us that they too used or knew someone who used Timothy Whaley for their weddings. Everyone was impressed and our pictures really captured our entire wedding day . We are so happy with our decision to use Timothy Whaley!
GUEST




We had a wonderful experience with Timothy Whaley for photography. My husband and I had shopped around before booking and found that this was the best option for the highest quality photos and price. From the start, Timothy Whaley has always been helpful, available, and able to answer any questions whenever I needed. When it came to the wedding day, our photographer was on time, professional, and artistic. He took all of the shots I asked for (I had certain poses that I wanted to take that I had seen in magazines) as well as he had tons of creative shots that he came up with on his own. All and all, we have not one regret and I would highly recommend Timothy Whaley to any couples looking for exceptional photography.

We used Timothy Whaley for our July 23, 2011 wedding. We had no referrals so my husband and I had to rely on online reviews and ratings for all of our vendors which was nerve wreaking at first. When we first had our consultation we were so impressed with the variety of beautiful pictures. They have so many awards which was important for us since we had no references. We first knew we went with the perfect company when they were able to accommodate us for our engagement pictures after being rained out twice. In order to receive our engagement signing album we had to take our pictures 2 months before. Well we only had 1 week to do so. Lynzi was able to get us a photographer and our pictures at the Lincoln Park zoo were beautiful!
Our two photographers, Mike Y and Miro, were both very easy to get a hold of. They both showed up on time and they came filled with ideas. After exactly 4 weeks after our wedding, we received 2,065 pictures to choose from! We have received so many compliments from our friends and family and we couldn’t be happier.
Thank you for our beautiful pictures Mike Y and Miro!

Timothy Whaley Photographic Artists are the best photographers around! They have wonderful photographic ideas and imaginations for photos. Our pictures came out beautiful! Everyone we met through their company was so nice and helpful! I would recommend them to anyone!

Timothy Whaley did our engagement photos and wedding day photography. We had our engagement photos taken at North Avenue Beach. Our photographer, Amber, knew all the good spots to take pictures. They turned out adorable. Our photographer for our wedding day was Jerry. He made everyone feel comfortable. He was very funny and did a great job keeping everyone moving for all of the pictures, while still making sure he got all of the shots. The pictures turned out better than I even expected. The hardest part is choosing which pictures because there are so many good ones to choose from. I highly recommend them!

Always available for questions. Mike our photographer and Rex our videographer were great. They were on-time, professional and went beyond. Everyone at the office is always available and willing to answer questions. Everyone that has seen the pics always say what an amazing photographer. Quality of pictures is worth the price.
GUEST




This company was a dream to work with. They assigned me two photographers, Jerry and Nick, who were very flexible and met with us for about an hour to prepare. Everyone we worked with was pleasant and helpful. We didn't give Jerry alot of direction on how we wanted the pictures to look, but they turned out so much better than I could've ever imagined! I would highly recommend this company and ESPECIALLY Jerry!
GUEST




I would highly recommend the staff at Timothy Whaley. Everyone we met or talked to was incredibly helpful and professional whether answering questions over the phone or meeting in person. Our photographer at the wedding ensured that our needs were covered and was well prepared to direct even our large group. We are pleased with all of the proofs we received and are happy to have such a large number to sort through!
GUEST




We were so happy with our service from Timothy-Whaley. Not only did our pictures turn out beautifully, but we were so happy with the service we have received from everyone we have worked with at the company. My questions were always answered promptly by not only individuals in the office, but by my photographer as well. I can't wait to create my album - but it may be hard with so many pictures to choose from!
GUEST




Tim was fabulous about working with us for the style of pictures we were looking for and he made the process of taking pictures all day fun!
GUEST




Knowing after the wedding was all said and done, my husband and I decided to go with TWA for our photography and we don't regret it at all. We had three photographers for our big day and all were very professional and great to be around. They all had their different styles of photography which gave us more pictures to choose from. We highly recommend Timothy Whaley.

We used Timothy Whaley for our Photography and Videography for our wedding on June 11, 2011 and their services were absolutely amazing! We were able to preview our photographers portfolio before booking with him to make sure his views and our expectations were on the same level.
On the day of, our photographer and videographer showed up early and were very professional and friendly throughout the entire day. I always say a photographer you don't even notice is there is the best and that was definitely the case with ours! He gave us guidance when asked and aside from that he was never intrusive and was able to get some great action shots! I couldn't have been happier with the way the video and photos turned out and have already recommended their services to all of my friends who are engaged!
Thanks for the wonderful memories!

My experience with TWA was amazing! They--Wally in particular--were referred to us by my matron of honor. Wally was amazing! He really took his time to get the shots we wanted and went to some extremes (i.e., almost falling off a building, jumping on garbage cans, etc.) to get great pictures! He also gave us great tips at our consultation with him regarding several aspects of the wedding--timing for walking down the aisle, when to cut the cake, where to stand, etc. Every contact I have had with TWA was extremely professional and accommodating. While packages may sound expensive, you get a lot for the money, which is not the case with other photographers we looked at. My husband and I picked up our proofs last week, just 4 weeks after our wedding, and there are hundreds of great shots!

I chose Timothy Whaley & Associates as the photographers for our wedding because they had done a a fabulous job with one of my best friends' wedding. To me, getting great photos from the wedding was one of my top priorities. From day 1, Timothy Whaley & Associates exceeded my expectations. My fiance and I live in Texas but the wedding was in Naperville - they were always readily available and spent time with us on the phone helping us pick the right package. We had two photographers for our wedding and they both called us well before the wedding to go through how the day would go and to make sure they knew any special requests we had. Our head photographer also met with us at the reception venue to walk us through certain tips for setting things up. The people we worked with all spent as much time with us as we needed to get all our questions answered. The photographers were very friendly and professional and they were also very discrete. As my husband and I flipped through our photos, there were many times we said, "I never saw the photographer there." For me, this was especially important during the ceremony - they were able to get amazing shots, but were never "in the way." The photos were amazing and we are struggling with picking what we want for our album - they all look amazing!!!
Another thing that I personally appreciated was that they were never pushy. From picking which package to go with to picking our album, I never felt like they were pushing me to get something more expensive than we wanted. They simply presented the information, answered any questions we had, and let us choose what we wanted. Most vendors try to pressure you into getting the more expensive package/album, but they seem to really care about making you happy and giving you what you want. Overall it was a great value and I would work with them again in a heartbeat!
GUEST




The best thing about Timothy Whaley Photographic Artists is that they provide their clients with the chance to meet and approve their recommended photographer (based on what was discussed in the inital consultation) months prior to the wedding. We met our photographer, Gokhan, at a Starbucks close to our home. He was very nice and friendly and listened to what we wanted for our wedding day. He captured many great moments and now we've got more than 1000 images to choose from for our wedding album.

Our wedding photographer was one of the most important areas when planning our wedding because the pictures are our memories. Several of my friends suggested TWA and I booked with them the same day I met with them. We purchased the Gold Collection which is the photographer for the entire day and a photojournalist for 5 hours. I could not have been more pleased with their services. Jerry Amber (photographer) and Kuba (photojournalist) were amazing!!! They were fun, energetic, took fantastic pictures, and were very professional. We met with Jerry prior to the wedding about types of pictures I liked and he made sure to capture all of them. After finally deciding which pictures to put in our bridal album, I would highly recommend spending the extra money for the photojournalist. Kuba captured some amazing pictures when people were not looking that are some of my favorites!! Even though TWA costs a little bit more than the other companies out there, you won't regret choosing them. They are worth the extra money and you will see it in your pictures!
GUEST




I had two photographers and a videographer at my wedding. My photographers were very professional and fun! They knew how to make everyone laugh. Even when we were running late, my photojournalist photographer even pitched in to take some posed pictures. My main photographer knew the whole Chicagoland area very well which made it easy to find a beautiful park to take pictures. My videographer was great when it came to getting all the important events. Everthing was perfect and well worth the money!

I recently received my TW&A wedding proofs Online & I'm so happy!!! I found TW&A through theKnot.com & I'm so grateful. It was easy to schedule the consultation appt. & there are a variety of package deals for even the tightest budget. Our package included a basic engagement session, 250 save the dates or thank you cards, a 12-hr photographer, a "Journey to Love" DVD, digital copies of all our proofs, and a few other nice perks... The engagement session was wonderful. We did it at the Museum Campus & we used the pics for various wedding events & favors. The day of the wedding our photographer was timely, detail-oriented, unintrusive, & fun. I am a very happy customer & look forward to working with TW&A for other memorable events.
P.S. -- A special shout-out to the TW&A receptionists who always were patient w/me & my questions. And hugs to Gokhan our amazing photographer. ;))

I am so happy to have chosen Timothy Whaley as my wedding photographer. The price scared me at first but they throw in so many pictures, album bindings and lots of other extras. The initial meeting was very informative, the photographer was easy to get along with and liked by everybody at the wedding and the pictures turned out amazing. The hardest part now is chosing the pictures to go into my album. They are all terrific and it's hard to narrow down the best of the best. Thank you Jerry (my photographer) and all the other Timothy Whaley employees for making everything so easy. I would recommend them to everyone.

Timothy Whaley did and amazing job with our wedding start to finish. They were helpful and friendly throughout. The wedding day itself was great the photographers were fun and professional at the same time. Our pictures turned out amazing and we could not be happier. I would like to say a special thanks to Mike P. who was great to work with and made everything very easy on a day when that is very much appreciated!

Our photographers were great! They were funny and professional and they took some amazing pictures.

My husband and I choose TWA for our photographer because of all the wonderful things I had heard about them. After working with them I have to agree with everything good I heard! We used them for our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos, and I plan to use them again whenever we need a good photographer.
Not only are the photographers professional, but they are fun and artistic at the same time. They worked with us through everything. They helped us get photos in Wrigley Field for the engagement photos since that’s where we got engaged; they hooked us up with the best DJ service I have ever had the pleasure to hear (Tone Productions), and worked with us placing all the orders for the gorgeous pictures from the wedding.
I am from the south and very much dislike most of the customer service I have found up here in Chicago, but I have to say TWA has the wonderful customer service I prefer! I would recommend TWA to anyone for all their photography needs!
Timothy Whaley never disappoints in the service or photography!
Timothy is effortless to work with. It's like he's not even there and yet he captures the most out-of-the-box images. He's a true artist and professional who is focused on creating stunning images and delivering them back to the client in a timely fashion. You can tell that he's experienced and takes pride in his work. He's a modern guy with a creative eye...definitely one of the best photographers in the city.
Excellent Photography!

Their photographers and photos are consistently top-notch, and they'll work with you to match you with the photographer that meets your style.

Great company and a pleasure to work with. All the photographers communicate well and have the best interests of the bride and groom in mind.
I had the great pleasure of working with Timothy Whaley & Associates at several of my weddings. Their photographers are amazing! They were very knowledgeable and professional. The entire team worked closely with the me, and were very accommodating. I would highly recommend them! The pictures came out AWESOME!
To the Staff and Photographers at Timothy Whaley & Associates. My DJs and office staff have been recommending your studio for nearly 10 years now. I just want to send a quick thank everyone for the incredible way that you treat each and every client that we have sent to you. More than anything we want our Brides and Grooms to be happy with the end product, pictures that are incredible.
We have had so much feedback from current and past couples thanking us for sending them to you. Love the way that your staff (photographers, not a sale person) sit with couples and discuss what they are looking for in photography and a specific photographer. You do something very similar to what we do and that is match up the personality of a photographer to that couple as we match the personality of a DJ to the couples as well.
All too often at a Wedding Reception a photographer will ask, when are you doing the garter and bouquet, I wanna get out of here? Not Timothy Whaley & Associates, how refreshing that a photographer wants to stay until the end of the evening. It is so nice to see such professionalism at Wedding Receptions from each and every of Timothy Whaley & Associates photographers that we see, from their appearance, to how attentive and unobtrusive they are.
To the owner Tim, you should be proud of the wonderful staff that you have. Thanks for being that vendor we can recommend that I know will come through every time to make a Bride and Groom pleased. In the wedding industry, I consider Timothy Whaley & Associates the Standard of Excellence in photography.
Musically Yours,
