We could not be happier for choosing Creativo to execute our special day! We were drawn by Giorgio’s photographic eye and we were not disappointed. Our photos turned out beautifully! Sarah was always helpful and available with answers to our questions. Thank you both so much!

"It is a big accomplishment to be married over 20 years! We had the best photographer Giorgio Ventola capture our wedding at the beautiful University of Chicago Chapel in Hyde Park. He captured the windy Chicago day in style and was just what I wanted! Thanks Giorgio!"

Love Love Love!

"My husband and I LOVED LOVED LOVED Giorgio and Sarah! They were amazing to work with and so talented! Giorgio took GORGEOUS and CREATIVE shots. Also, Sarah was very helpful in assisting me with creating a schedule, as well as keeping it! It was SO relieving not to have to think on my wedding day because they did all the thinking for us!"

Focus on Connection

"Immediately upon getting engaged I booked photography since our wedding was on a holiday weekend, and I didn't want to take any chances that we couldn't reserve the best. We met with a few, but felt a connection with Sarah and Giorgio. We felt that these are people who follow you around all day capturing lifetime memories .... so... we'd better like them. We weren't disappointed. The day of the wedding I was a bit stressed and hot (it was unusually hot) and both Giorgio and Sarah worked as a team to make the shots quick and painless. We were very excited to see the finished product and couldn't believe our eyes! There were soooo many photos to choose from. Their diverse portfolio originally attracted us, and I didn't want a standard album. We received anything but standard. We absolutely love it! Our album is AMAZING! We have friends who want to see it every time they visit. People keep telling us they've never seen an album like ours and how beautiful it is. When the process was all over we were sad because we felt we were saying goodbye to family. Our experience was fantastic and we would highly recommend Creativo."

A Little Different

"When my wife and I were looking for a wedding photographer, we wanted someone a little different - and not the usual photographer who does all the "standard' poses and shots. Giorgio and Sarah  understood exactly what we wanted, and our pictures turned out far beyond what we had expected or envisioned. Even though we liked all the vendors we hired for the wedding, none were as easy to work with as Creativo. My wife was the least stressed when it came to them. We felt we could depend on them to deliver and they did!"

Camera Shyness Cured

"Creativo was simply fantastic to work with. My husband and I are both a bit shy in public, but Giorgio was able to help break us out of our shells. He captured our engagement portraits and wedding day beautifully. Within 24 hours of our wedding we were provided a sneak peek gallery, which was absolutely fantastic to be able to share with our family and friends so quickly! We also hosted our small wedding at their studio venue Creativo Loft, where Sarah coordinated an all-inclusive package. Our guests complimented us on every aspect of our wedding. We crafted fun comic book paper flowers and decorations, but 80% of our wedding was because of Sarah and Giorgio."

Outstanding Professionals

"Giorgio did an outstanding job with our wedding photos. He took us to two great city locations for our outdoor portraits. It was a cold, windy day but he managed to keep everyone engaged and smiling. We got numerous compliments from our guests about how much fun he was, and also their venue Creativo Loft. Our plans changed significantly from when we first started, but Sarah never skipped a beat. She was always very open to our changes and more than willing to assist in making our vision become a reality. She pointed us in the direction of several other outstanding vendors and did a fantastic job coordinating with them. Sarah did all of the work to bring them all together, and event was flawless!"

Comfortable and Fun

"The second we met with them, we knew Giorgio and Sarah were the best choice for our wedding. Giorgio has such a great eye and can make anyone feel comfortable in front of the camera.  We all had a blast taking pictures with them and they really helped make what could have been a stressful situation so much fun! Not only is this duo professional, they are responsive and reasonably priced given the high quality work they produce."

Stress Less

"My husband and I were out of town until the day before the wedding, so it would not be possible to plan our wedding without Sarah. She did a great job organizing everything. Giorgio is a talented photographer who managed to wrangle our guests. We had an amazing time!"
