Our wedding day was made even more special, thanks to the incredible work of Kristen and the Xc!te Photo team. I am thrilled to give them a well-deserved 5/5 stars for their outstanding photography services. Kristen's kindness and professionalism were evident from the beginning. She not only made us feel at ease but also ensured that everything ran smoothly throughout the day. Her ability to keep to the schedule without any stress was truly commendable, allowing us to enjoy every moment of our special day. The inclusion of a photo booth by Xcite Photo was a brilliant addition to our celebration. Our guests absolutely loved it, and it turned out to be a major hit. The scrapbook album with messages from guests alongside their photo booth pictures, props, and an extra copy for guests to keep added a delightful touch to the entire experience. It was a wonderful way for our loved ones to leave their mark on our special day. One of the highlights of Kristen's photography expertise was the creative photo game she suggested. Running to each table within a song period to capture moments with all our guests was an absolute joy. It not only provided unique and candid shots but also allowed our guests to have a blast during the process. Kristen's creativity truly added a special and memorable touch to our wedding day. Kristen and her team went above and beyond to fulfill all our photography wishes. From capturing specific moments on our shot list to ensuring that every detail was beautifully preserved, they exceeded our expectations. We couldn't be happier with how professional, beautiful, and meaningful our wedding photos turned out. Lastly, the speed at which we received our photos was remarkable. The prompt delivery allowed us to relive our wedding day almost instantly. In conclusion, if you're looking for a photographer who not only captures moments but also adds a touch of creativity and professionalism to your wedding day, Kristen and Xcite Photo are the perfect choice. Our heartfelt thanks to Kristen and the entire team for creating lasting memories that we will cherish forever. -

I had such a wonderful experience with using Xcite photo! The two photographers captured every special moment as well as so many other memories, of our guests. The whole day and night is truly relived through the photos and video. Not to mention, the editing process is out of this world! The pictures are crystal clear. If you are in the market, I highly suggest you choose Xcite photo. You definitely will not be disappointed. I’m addition, they have over 5 different packages you can choose from with many different add on options. It is affordable for everyone! -

We can’t say enough good things, Andrew and James were fantastic. From the very first contact with the XCITE photo team all the way to the end they made everything easy and handled everything very professionally. Our photos are beyond beautiful, we are in love with them. So much we had a hard time choosing favorites. Guests are even raving about the quality of the photos. We are not photogenic people either so we were a little worried but they managed to capture us beautifully, and somehow manage to not make it feel like we were taking 1000 pictures. We can’t wait to see our video!! -

Andrew and his team (Kristen, Katy, and Matt) were amazing to work with and are wonderful people. Choosing a photographer and videographer for your wedding day is daunting. There can be a lot of options and price points that are grabbing for your attention. We are so glad we picked Xcite Photos and Films. Their work is the highest quality and their prices are very reasonable, I don't think they can be beat in that department. We were very happy with the photos and videos that they captured for us on our wedding day. We had our engagement photos at Cantigny Park with Kristen, our getting ready photos at Hotel Arista, and our ceremony and reception at Meson Sabika with Andrew, Katy, and Matt. Andrew and his team all had prior experience taking photos at all of these places. That experience was so valuable as it made the process so easy on our end. They knew where to go and coached us in the poses we would take for the photos. The process was efficient and fun! My wife and I are so awkward in front of a camera and do not consider ourselves photogenic yet Andrew and his team made us feel comfortable and did their magic in making the photos turn out so well. They are very relaxed, calm, patient, and accommodating in the midst of what is a very chaotic wedding day and meeting our expectations and staying on time. They even captured our Tea Ceremony during our wedding day and have done a lot of weddings with different customs and traditions. Their photobooth and props were also a huge hit at our wedding. They are great professionals.
The turn around time for our photos was extremely fast, within two weeks of our wedding. And our video came out in three weeks. That was greatly appreciated!
When you hire Andrew, you know you are hiring someone who genuinely cares about you and your wedding day and capturing the best moments for you. For our wedding day specifically, it was raining/drizzling on and off all day. We planned to have our ceremony outdoors and it was not projected to rain come our ceremony time. But with the uncertain weather, our venue wanted to respect our request to have it outdoors but was hinting it would be best for it to be indoors for their staff which was understandable. Andrew nudged us to have it outdoors and wanted to honor our original vision for our wedding. We ended up having our ceremony outdoors and it turned out so beautiful and the pictures also turned out fantastic. A lifetime of thank you's from us to them. We highly recommend Xcite Photos and Films! -

I must say that Andrew and his team were simply fantastic! Their professionalism and expertise in their field were outstanding right from the beginning. Our wedding day was on July 23rd, and we were overjoyed when we received our breathtaking wedding photos just 18 days later! Despite having a 300-guest wedding, Andrew and his team were able to capture every detail and every individual present. We are absolutely thrilled with the results and highly recommend Xcite photography without a doubt! -

Xcite Photo (Kristen DiMonda especially) was the most incredible choice for photography. Their staff is professional, very aware of where to be and how to capture the best pictures, and was remarkably timely with sending the final products. My husband and I couldn't be happier, and wouldn't have worked with anyone else for our wedding day photos! -

We used Xcite Photography for our engagement photoshoot and wedding and we couldn’t be happier with the service. Andrew, Kristen, Mike and Chris were so easy to work with and they made us feel so comfortable when taking photos. The final photos and videos were better than we could imagine and they had a quick turnaround time. I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. Using Xcite Photography was one of the best decisions we made when wedding planning! -

We are so happy with Andrew's work and would like to sincerely thank the entire team at Xcitephoto! Andrew and his team were with us all day and the photos turned out AMAZING! We also opted to have a videographer and are soooo glad we did! Our video montage is PERFECT! I am normally not an emotional person, but every time I watch our video, I need to have the Kleenex close by! Thank you again Andrew and team for so perfectly capturing our special day! Your work is amazing and I highly recommend you and your team to all! -

I literally cannot say enough about Xcite. They were so understanding and flexible when we had to move our date because of Covid concerns and even photographed our elopement that we had on our original wedding date. They just photographed our bigger wedding this past weekend, and although we obviously haven't got the photos back yet, I'm so confident they'll be amazing based on the photos we received last year. We clicked with our lead photographer Phil immediately at our engagement shoot and have had him working with us since. He's professional, organized, and takes great photos but is also calm, kind, and funny. This year we also had Ben as a videographer and Chris as a second photog, and they were both great too. The photo booth was a great addition and we loved looking through the book. You will not find a better photography company and they're also so much more affordable and flexible than most other photographers we researched. Love love love xcite ❤️ -

Professional, Friendly Team and Great Pictures!
My husband and I got married on 5/27/22 and had the pleasure of working with Xcite Photo. Our main photographer Kristen, second photographer Taylor, and videographer Dan were AMAZING! All three of them were so nice and kind. They captured amazing pictures of our day and were patient with us as we were pulled in different directions throughout the day/night. We also worked with Andrew from Xcite for our engagement shoot, another exceptional experience with him as he captured such beautiful pictures for our engagement around downtown Naperville. The team was so kind and easy to work with from the moment we signed with them up until the wedding and even now as we email back and forth getting the final pictures and video. We can't wait to see the video montage they put together for us. I am so happy we chose Xcite for our special day and would recommend them to any couple that is searching for top-notch and well-priced photography/videography. In our package, we also had a photobooth which was a big hit with our guests! They are extremely professional, talented, and exceeded our expectations. Thank you to the Xcite team for making our day easy and capturing our special day for us!! -

Highly recommend!!!
I chose XcitePhoto because their portfolio looked good and their pricing was so reasonable and boy am I glad I did!!! Andrew and Dianna were so fun and easy to work with! My husband and I are both camera shy and hate most pictures of ourselves but they made the process so comfortable and effortless by giving us direction and suggestions while also staying out of the way and capturing some truly beautiful candid moments. We're currently in the process of choosing pictures for our wedding album that came with the package we purchased and we're having the hardest time! Waaaay too many good options, which is a great problem to have! Highly recommend!!! -
