Lorenzo de Gregorio Photography

Lorenzo De Gregorio Photography was the absolute best choice for our engagement pictures. We got complemented on our photos and many of our friends and family were curious to see who the photographer was. He was very specific with lighting, angles, and scenery to make sure it turned out perfect. We really wanted a city like feel to our pictures and he definitely made it a point to hear us out because it turned out better than what we could have imagined. He’s fun to work with, honest with what looks best, flexible, and truly talented!

Lorenzo was excellent to work with and did an absolutely fabulous job with our wedding photos. It was very important to us to have beautiful photos to look back on for years to come and relive our amazing day. With Lorenzo’s beautiful work we received just that. We could not be happier!

Lorenzo is amazing! All of our pictures turned out gorgeous and he is really willing to go the extra mile for a great shot. His photo journalistic style is exactly what we wanted. The photos make you feel like you’re there again-​you can hear the laughter and see the love.

Lorenzo was great to work with and our wedding and engagement pictures were absolutely stunning! He’s the best!

Before the wedding, one great virtue of Lorenzo’s stood out brilliantly. And that is, that he is a fantastic communicator. Contact with him was always easy to procure, and endlessly productive. He managed to respond to all emails within the day, and always resumed what we were discussing. He even went so far as to visit the wedding site weeks before the occasion to scope out the space, and calculate where best to shoot. His steady presence and research, combined with his great skill as a photographer, did not disappoint on our wedding day. By then, it felt like we were old friends. And receiving our photos was like receiving a very personal gift (with fireworks!).
We love Lorenzo and his beautiful photos, as do our deeply impressed family and friends. And we promise, you will love him too!

I knew Lorenzo will be our wedding photographer even before I met him. I was sold the moment I heard his Italian last name.
Lorenzo did not disappoint; the photos turned out spectacular. He is a master of his craft. He took a whole morning (and his adorable toddler) to scout the locations where the photos were to be taken; I was so impressed.
Your photographs will look like movie poster. Every time you open the wedding album, you will be transported back your special day.

Wow! Our wedding photos came out like we were in magazine ads. They were professional and beautiful. Lorenzo and his assistant were both very courteous and even offered to stay a bit later than originally planned to take photos of our rings. He communicates well during the whole process and even gave our photos in 2 months time (love it!).

Lorenzo is fantastic.
The quality of his work speaks for itself — go to his website to see for yourself. I can vouch for the fact that your photos will turn out just as awesome as the examples on his site.
What’s just as important, yet harder to tell from his website is what a pleasure it is to work with him. From our very first meeting all the way to when we were putting the finishing touches on our album, Lorenzo was absolutely terrific to work with. Especially on the wedding day (and when taking our engagement shots), Lorenzo is great to have around. He’s witty, calm and laid back, yet focused on his work and on getting the perfect photos. He works great with everyone, from the bride and groom, to the 2 year old flower girl, to grandmothers, planners and other vendors… the whole works. A great asset on a fairly chaotic day. Hire him.

Lorenzo is a rare talent who is an absolute pleasure to work with. He photographed our wedding in February 2013 and did an amazing job. Then he created an incredibly beautiful photo album for us that just tells the story of our special day in a way that only a true artist can capture these moments. Do yourself a favor and hire him for your special day, you will not be disappointed. A classy and talented man, that is Lorenzo De Gregorio.

Lorenzo was great! He photographed our wedding in June 2013. The entire process with him was smooth and easy. Before the wedding, Lorenzo was readily available to communicate with via skype and email (since my wife and I live in LA and he’s in Chi.). On our wedding weekend, Lorenzo and his team were calm, patient, nice, and professional.
And of course, most importantly, the photos are terrific. We truly could not be happier with the finished product. We asked for a mix of candid shots and photos of non-​staged ‘moments’, as well as family portraits and more formal shots. They are all tremendous. I would highly recommend Lorenzo to any and all.

Amazing wedding pictures. Just look for your kind of style. I think Lorenzo’s is contemporary, detailed and artistic, it is exactly how we wanted to document our wedding day. When we met with Lorenzo before the wedding, he shared his views, preferences and tastes — about weather, locations, photoshoots… — it all spoke to us. I was very confident in him and now I have so many favorite pictures from the wedding.
Actually I’ve been looking at Lorenzo’s collections for awhile even before we got engaged. I was just curious and amazed how many beautiful and interesting pictures he gets from a single event. And I couldn’t be more excited when he agreed to shoot out wedding. He literally made my day :)

I can’t recommend Lorenzo highly enough. He photographed our wedding in July 2012, and we were referred to him by a friend for whom he photographed a wedding. Were thrilled with our photos, his passion for photography, style and professionalism throughout the process.
Lorenzo and his team did a fantastic job documenting and capturing moments throughout of day, without the photos being the focus rather than the wedding/​celebration.
Just a few (3?) days after our wedding, Lorenzo had a Facebook post up with a preview — what a treat to see these so quickly. Within a few weeks he had a blog entry posted on his site with more photos, then we got our full set of edited images within 8 weeks or so. Pretty impressive timing given we had 10 hours of photos taken to edit! One thing that I really appreciated was that Lorenzo so kind as to go back pull for us additional pictures taken of special moments during the reception — ones we didn’t know to ask for ahead of time.
I was especially impressed with Lorenzo’s attention to organization and detail. He was punctual, organized and professional. Sometimes those gifted with creativity or artistry struggle in these areas, but Lorenzo knocked it out of the park from every possible vantage point.
I recommend Lorenzo without reservation.

I can not say enough good things about Lorenzo… I wish I could give a 10 star rating on a 5 star scale! I spent countless hours researching photographers and looking through their portfolios online, and when I came across Lorenzo’s photos… they were to die for and exactly the style I wanted. I think I literally crossed my fingers hoping that he would be within our budget and I couldn’t believe he was!
When my husband and I met him for the first time, we knew right away that we had found the right guy. He was very personable, informative and extremely nice — somebody who you felt was a «friend» right away. I was so excited to work with him. Unfortunately we had to postpone our wedding and Lorenzo was very accomodating and flexible with our changes. He always responded to my emails quickly and was very organized.
He was wonderful on our wedding day, at the hotel when we were getting ready before the ceremony… you barely felt like he was there, but knew he was quietly getting great shots! Since our wedding was in June it was a super hot and humid day — so we opted to not stop at the outdoor location we had chosen to take photos with the wedding party after the ceremony. Everyone was miserable outside, but Lorenzo pulled me aside and wanted to make sure that I was ok with not going to the location because he was up for it if we changed our minds. I was impressed by that considering he was in a suit in 100+ degree weather! Since we decided not to go, Lorenzo picked a few spots for us to take some photos at the reception site during cocktail hour, and those ended up being my very favorite shots of the day.
We received all the pictures very quick, and I looked at them all every day for weeks. I was in awe of how he actually captured how I was feeling that day. I look at the photos and actually remember how I was feeling in that very moment, and I hope that is something I can hold onto forever!
Lorenzo is very reasonably priced, not to mention extremely talented and creative. I will recommend him to anyone I know who needs a perfect memory of a special day!

My wife and I got married in July of this year, and after looking at a number of different photographers, decided to go with Lorenzo; we couldn’t be happier with our choice.
Dealing with Lorenzo was a delight. He is punctual, organized, and quite skilled not only at photography, but in working with the Bride and Groom to get the pictures that they desire.
His creativity and vision are evidenced by the photos in his portfolio, and the photos he took of our wedding were no different.
I would not hesitate to recommend Lorenzo to anybody looking for an amazing photographer.

This is a follow up of my husband’s review from ⁵⁄₂₀ (literally 2 days after our wedding)…
Lorenzo is an incredibly gifted artist who captured our day perfectly. You and your family and friends will love him, but they’ll love the memories he captures even more. We wanted our wedding pictures to tell a story of how we felt on the day and Lorenzo delivered in spades. He took the most romantic, dreamy photos of my groom and me, along with portraits, fun dancing photos, and great candids. Lorenzo totally «got» our aesthetic and style and because he scouted locations before the wedding, we were able to get a lot of beautiful shots in a limited time frame. Hiring Lorenzo was by far the best money we spent on the wedding. Almost six months later, we’re still captivated by the photos.
Our wedding photos were featured on Style Me Pretty, which you can view here:

WOW! These are the only words I have. Well, I’ll still yammer on more, but Lorenzo is the pinnacle of perfection of what a wedding photographer should be. He hasthe most perfect artistic eye, but that doesn’t stop him from taking «normal» photos too. Photography pricing runs a large range, and I’d say Lorenzo is mid-​high, but when you’re talking about a wedding, it’s worth it. We definitely saw other photographer that were much more expensive, but I highly doubt they could even come close to Lorenzo’s profesionalism.
He regularly walks around w/​3 camera bodies and a wide assortment of lenses, flashes, and diffusers (used to alter the flash), and he also brings an associate who takes some photos, but mostly assists Lorenzo with setting up soft boxes (remote control satellite flashes).
I know a good bit about photography myself, so it was important for me to get somebody who has truly honed his craft, and that Lorenzo has done. Just «like» his business on facebook, and you’ll see some of the most amazing photography ever, and not at a price that will force all your guests to eat tofu at the reception!

As a bride, one of the most important things for me (besides quality of product of course), is the process you have with your vendors leading up to the event. What ends up being super invaluable is responsiveness and professionalism. Too many times during the weeks and months leading up to my wedding I would get no (or super late responses) from my current or prospective vendors.
Lorenzo was fantastic. He responded to EVERY email I sent him within less than an hour. He helped me stay on track by suggesting what my timeline should be, and worked with me to get the best photography package for MY needs (I didn’t want an album because I live in NYC and have limited space, and he tailored something for me that fit my needs). He even called me the night before my wedding (which no one else did) to ask if I was ready, if I was OK, and if I needed anything.
I just got married two weeks ago and he already posted 23 preview pics on his facebook. They are so elegant and we looked amazing in them. I would highly suggest Lorenzo for your wedding if you want a flawless process leading up to the big day and exceptional pics.

Vast knowledge of photography + exceptional skill = Lorenzo. Lucky to have found him. He captures the kind of photos that you hang on your wall, people see, stop, and say, «Wow.» Not just photos, but pieces of art. He’s professional, passionate about his calling, and makes you feel completely comfortable. He has a soothing quality about him. Even in the freezing Chicago weather! Now as I play amateur photographer, I try to copy his style. It’s genius! Agreed with other reviewers, I highly recommend him for those wanting amazing photos.

As a bride, the photographer was my number one priority when planning, so I started there. I was given Lorenzo’s name by a friend, and loved his website, so my husband and I met with him to discuss his packages. He was by far the most reasonably priced photographer in Chicago (for the quality of work and being able to have the rights to the photos which was a huge priority), and we loved all of the photos we saw of his. We booked Lorenzo and are forever grateful that we did!
Our wedding was supposed to be outside, but it rained like crazy almost the entire day. I tell everyone who asks about my wedding day that our wedding photos completely made up for the rainy day and now I would not have wanted it any other way. Lorenzo wrapped up his cameras in rain gear and joined myself, my groom, and the bridal party in the rain where we captured some amazingly colorful, UNIQUE, wet scenes. He was creative, patient, funny, and exciting to work with. It seemed even he himself was having fun and enjoying himself!
Towards the end of dinner, Lorenzo came running up to us and said the light outside was beautiful and we should go for more pictures. This was completely unexpected but now they are some of my favorite pictures of the night! We are so grateful he is the kind of photographer that would see the importance of another chance at beautiful pictures, and make the extra effort to go get them.
My favorite part (other than the pictures!) of our wedding day was my dress, and Lorenzo captured it so perfectly, and so stunningly, which means so much to me considering it will probably never be worn again.
Lorenzo also made a Queensberry album for us. He was so easy to work with in this process. I am aware of how much time and effort putting an album together is, and he did so quickly and with a great final product.
I think its also important to note that on the SAME NIGHT of the wedding, Lorenzo had already loaded about a dozen pictures onto facebook, which was a wonderful surprise for us the next morning. And within a week, we had a blog entry with even more pictures.
We have the most beautiful, unique photos from our rainy wedding day. I am constantly complimented on them — even from people I don’t know! I am even struggling to pick a few favorites to frame because we love them all.
We will forever cherish the pictures and album that Lorenzo captured for us!
Here is our blog where you can get just a taste of the amazing work he did for us:

I would give 6 stars if I could. Lorenzo covered my wedding in July of this year and the pictures were AMAZING!!! He did such a phenomenal job. He has a good eye for artistic angles and little details. Lorenzo is definitely talented! He also did our engagement photos. We told him we wanted a vintage theme but my husband and I were out of ideas about good locations to do a vintage photoshoot at. He gladly suggested a few places and those were so PERFECT for the theme. He actually took some of his free time to scope the place out.
Lorenzo definitely went above and beyond our expectations. And besides his talent for photography, he is very friendly and so fun to work with.
