Hitch & Sparrow Wedding Co.

Anthony and his team did an amazing job photographing our wedding. We are so, so, sooo happy with how our photographs turned out. Their expertise is reflected in their incredible work. When you have a chance, definitely take a look at the galleries on their website — their work speaks for itself!
Beyond their photography skills, working the Hitch and Sparrow team was genuinely a pleasure. From our first meeting, to receiving our final images, Anthony and his team provided amazing service. They are kind, responsive, and a lot of fun! Most importantly, they truly believe in the value marriage. They approach their work with a certain enthusiasm that is contagious, which makes being photographed easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend having Hitch and Sparrow as part of your wedding day. I couldn’t imagine working with anyone else!

I like to think of myself as a pretty low maintenance bride, but I knew the photography was going to be especially important, so I made a lot more effort to find just the right match for us. It’s easy to forget, but your photographer is the vendor you spend the most time with on your wedding day so you better like them!
Hitch & Sparrow was a terrific match for us from the start. Anthony met with us to talk about their approach and answer all our questions. I initially contacted them because their portfolio is gorgeous and just our style (not cliché and cookie-​cutter like a lot of wedding photographers). What sealed the deal was how easy-​going and likeable Anthony is. We had a bit of a non-​traditional wedding — no wedding party, no church, ceremony and reception in one room of a restaurant, no cake cutting, no first dance, only 50 people — and we wanted to find someone who would be cool with our way of approaching the wedding. We were also a little nervous because my husband and I are both pretty shy in front of a camera, but Anthony made a real effort to make the whole experience comfortable, not at all stressful, and tailored to the two of us. It was like having a friend take our pictures — a really talented friend.
Our whole wedding day was even more wonderful because of Hitch & Sparrow. In addition to the amazing first look and pre-​ceremony photos, we got some terrific family portraits and candids from the ceremony and reception. We also got the photo booth for the reception, and everyone had a blast posing for pictures — it was the perfect addition to the night.
We got our photos a lot faster than I expected, especially because I knew they were at the peak of their busy season and the results were fantastic. I’m not very photogenic, but Anthony made us both look like stars. Some of the images are so stunning they actually look like stock photos! I could not be happier that we chose Hitch & Sparrow!

Hitch & Sparrow captured our wedding beautifully with hundreds of gorgeous photos. We wanted a photographer who would take not only the typical posed family photos but also a lot of candid pictures of the ceremony, the reception, the guests, the garden venue, and us. H&S did all that, and more, finding the best backdrops and the most gorgeous light and setting up both fun and more romantic poses. Anthony respected our wishes to spend less time on posed photos during the reception (we wanted to dance!) and getting those in before the ceremony. H&S was flexible and accommodating, while making sure to photograph all the important (as well as the more subtle) moments. I can’t recommend them more!

Photography was really the only thing we splurged on for our wedding, but I’m glad we did! Anthony and Laura were really easy to work with throughout the process. We met up with Anthony a few weeks beforehand, which definitely made us more comfortable on the day of. I’m really impressed by how flattering the majority of the photos are, considering that we were in a sweaty greenhouse in July! Besides really nice couples and family portraits, they did an awesome job capturing the dance party and some little details throughout the event.

I can’t say enough good things about Anthony and Hitch & Sparrow! We hired Anthony for our July 11^th wedding at St. Michael’s in Old Town and The Drake Hotel. From our first meeting at a coffee shop in Logan Square, to our final pictures inside The Drake, it was a dream come true. Seriously– Anthony is the man! When we first met he talked about how the most important thing on your wedding day is capturing the story of your marriage– cue the tears! I was sold. Anthony worked with us closely leading up to the wedding, make sure he understood exactly what we wanted day of. On the day of the wedding, he captured everything that was going on without me even realizing he and his wife were there! He captured amazing shots of us during our ceremony, our trolley ride, and our reception. The Hitch and Sparrow photo booth during the reception was also a huge hit! Our friends are STILL talking about how much fun they had taking pictures with the props they brought. After the wedding, when we got the proofs, I cried a lot of happy tears. I had no idea a day could be captured so perfectly. I can’t say put into words how happy I am that we made the decision to go with Hitch and Sparrow!

I can’t get over how stunning our wedding photos are. Anthony and Brad captured such intimate moments that we’ll have forever. We got married at the Nature Museum on August 23, and we had horrible weather that day. I had it in my head that we would have our first look photos and bridal party pictures by the lake and in lincoln park, and was really worried that we wouldn’t have good photos because of the rain. I couldn’t have been more wrong.
Anthony and Brad have such a good eye and are so creative, that our pictures in Hotel Lincoln turned out beautifully. They also took a ridiculous shot of us under an umbrella together that we had no idea they took that looks straight out of a magazine. We had the most gorgeous sunset later on, so we snuck off and took photos outside and have the most incredible photos. Their flexibility that night was so appreciated.
Choosing a photographer was one of the hardest parts of the planning process for us, but their style really stood out. We met Anthony at Indie Wed, and my husband was really impressed with the way they custom light every shot. We did our engagement photos with Anthony too, which I highly recommend doing as a way to feel more comfortable with them on the wedding day.
They were both so fun to work with on the wedding day, which is so important because you share such intimate moments with them! The groomsmen were asking if they could be part of the bridal party too, they liked them so much. We had a blast with them, and are so pleased with the photos. Thanks guys!

My husband and I worked with Anthony (and his wife) for our wedding. My husband does wedding photography, so choosing a photographer was a big deal and difficult decision for us. After looking through over 100 websites, we decided to hire Anthony. He wasn’t cheap for us, but we made the decision to invest in the venue and photos, since the photos would be the only thing that would stand the test of time after the wedding (besides our marriage, of course!). We totally made the right choice, and couldn’t be happier!
His use of light is dead on, and the corrections he has to make to his photos in post-​editing are minimal since he hits things right the first time.
If you have a larger budget for photography, I would highly recommend checking out Hitch & Sparrow! They are the definition of a 5 Star Rating.

I had the pleasure of working with Anthony and Brad when I stood up in my best friend’s wedding last summer. The pair together… just awesome… and I realized I could not not work with them. Demand for these guys has gone way up, so I was glad we could at least snag Brad for our big day, who along with his wife, Nicole, and professional friend, Chloe, brilliantly led a group of 20 bridal party members through an enjoyable process. My wife and I were married at the Morton Arboretum in Lisle, and we did not expect all of the mosquitos on that July 19^th, 2014. It could have been easy to say «to hell with this, we’ve got enough, let’s get back to shelter!» Brad and the team, however, made us feel at ease and encouraged us to keep going until they had everything we needed. These guys are truly MVPs of their craft, and you can count on them to quarterback any type of wedding. They are great listeners and willing to provide consultation throughout the wedding process. After all the time, sweat and mosquito battle wounds, they deliver a final product that helps you remember your wedding like the fairytale it was. They also make you look like sexy bitches.
We can’t thank these guys enough for such a wonderful experience. There’s no other company we’d recommend to our friends and family.

We ABSOLUTELY LOVED the team from Hitch & Sparrow. They made us feel like we were the most photogenic people in the world. They were relaxed and captured every moment from our engagement shoot to our wedding day. We love the pictures. So much so that we are having a difficult time narrowing them down. They were creative and out-​of-​the box, which makes them unlike any wedding pictures we’ve ever seen. They captured precious moments that we will cherish forever. Thanks guys!

Hitch & Sparrow are a quality photo team that you definitely want to shoot your wedding!
They’re fast and efficient & will care about you more than just as a customer.
Hitch and Sparrow were happy to work with me to get what I wanted within the price range that I could pay. They cut us a great deal that worked out for both us and them. On my wedding day they were so quick that one would think that they didn’t get any good shots — but when the photos came back it was obvious that they did! At the actual wedding they were stealth shooters, staying out of sight but capturing moments that I didn’t even realize they were shooting. My husband and I are so pleased with the photos, and we have some very special intimate moments captured that we will be able to look at & re-​live for years to come.
When you book Hitch & Sparrow you are definitely booking quality & a wonderful experience!

Hitch & Sparrow… Wow. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone. Their team consists of highly talented, artistic, awesome photographers who know their stuff. The photos they shot for my wedding were stunning. Anthony, Laura, and Brad truly care about providing the best experience possible. They went above and beyond what was expected of them in planning, on the day of, and after. They were very professional and also very flexible/​understanding. Book them for your wedding now before someone else does– you won’t regret it!

They Made my wedding. It was stressful enough on our wedding day and the one thing i DID NOT have to worry about was the amazing photography that was dont for the wedding. My wife (who is hard to please) couldnt have been more thrilled with the product. I will recommend them to EVERYONE i know! A+

The pictures they took of our wedding are incredible. They are true artists! Photojournalistic, technically gorgeous, and with real-​life, classic post-​production. H & S capture the emotion, moments, details, and moments that you will treasure for the rest of your life. Truly masters of their craft, you will have timeless art that is worth the investment (Which, I have to add, is an extremely reasonable price!) We couldn’t have had nicer people walking along side us and capturing our big day.
Hitch & Sparrow did our wedding photos in September of 2012 and they were amazing! They are very organized and have a very clear process they take their clients through – from an initial meeting that’s friendly, fun, and efficient, to clearly written contracts to final delivery of files when expected. There’s no guess work, you know exactly what to expect! During the wedding itself, I cannot say enough how amazing it was to have them! They are SO nice and funny without being overwhelming or getting in the way. They are super professional and courteous. I was having a hair nightmare when they came before the wedding, but they showed up and were just so relaxed and great to everyone, that I could definitely breathe easier once they were there (right on time and, meanwhile, my hair was fixed!
When they sent us the proofs, we were amazed at how spot on their exposures were – the photos looked like they could have *almost* been finals. These guys really know what they are doing and get it right. Then, when we got our finals, we were again amazed at beautiful everything was. They were not overly edited, plasticy, trendy-​looking bridal photos that seem to regrettably be everywhere these days. ALL of the photos were just the quality of everything H & S publishes and leads you to expect. EACH photo they created of our wedding day is a portal to re-​seeing a deeply meaningful moment. What an amazing thing to have these for the rest of our life, and from such wonderful people who only added good memories along to what was already the happiest day of our lives. We couldn’t ask for more.
I could not recommend H & S more!

If you need a wedding photographer… Hitch and Sparrow are the complete package and more!
They shot my wedding and I couldn’t be happier with how the photographs turned out. I am an artist myself, so I am considerably critical of any photograph that I critique… However, they definitely exceeded my expectations!
Not only are they easy to work with but they are true artists that capture the days story in an intimate and fun way!!!
They have a solid creative vision, communicate clearly, are flexible, and are the most fantastic duo to enjoy the day with! I highly recommend them for any event/​wedding/​etc.
These guys are in a league of their own and the proof is in their product and confidence to deliver great quality photos for any event. GO VISIT their website if you are still not convinced!
They are the best wedding photographers in CHICAGO, hands down.

I honestly can’t think of a better photographer to recommend for anything. They’re top notch, will be very honest and straightforward with heir capabilities and turnaround time is fantastic.
H&S are essentially your favorite photographers’ favorite photographers. You won’t be disappointed!
