After my friend's experience with Eivan's Photography during a wedding which I was part of, I felt the need to write this review because contractually my friend who had a horrible experience was threatened and fined for posting a negative review about Eivan's. PLEASE BEWARE! My close friend used Eivan's for her wedding and her entire experience from beginning to the end was a nightmare! She told me that they charged her for every solitary thing that they do in regard to her photos and video. This also includes them charging her for shipping her photos for $100, all after she already paid for them. If you aren't able to pick them up in person (if you don't live in Chicago) then you have to pay $100! Not to mention how rude the photographer was on the wedding day to the bride.
If you do choose to use them, have your lawyer or someone with legal experience review all the fine print and legal jargon that is in their contract that they will use against you all to pay for the memories from YOUR special occasion. Their contract seems very manipulative and is written in a way that seems as though they are trying to take advantage of you in the weeks and days following your milestone occasion. For your own sake maybe consider working with a local small business photography service rather than Eivan's Photography. If you need to threaten your customers with legal action for voicing their honest experience with your business you're not a respectable business to begin with.
