"I first want to tell you that the pictures are wonderful, and I could not have asked for a better photographer. You were great and made me feel so relaxed. Everyone thought they were all great, and they said they will have trouble picking which ones that they want. I love them all and think that you are great, and I will recommend you to everyone that I can. You are wonderful and so easy to work with. I hope that we can use again in the future for other events that our family has."

"We had seen Chad's work and heard great recommendations from friends whose weddings he had done, so we decided to meet with him as we were making our wedding plans. Before we even left his driveway, my fiancé and I both knew we wanted Chad to be a part of our special day. Unfortunately for us, he had another wedding scheduled for our date! So, I quickly made some calls to see if we could change our date to allow us to have Chad as our photographer. From the engagement session to the bridal portrait to the wedding day, Chad was professional in every way. But most importantly to us, he made the whole process fun and easy and captured the excitement and emotion of our day beautifully. He truly has a gift for what he does, and we can't thank him enough!"

"Thank you for all the excellent work you have done, I appreciate the time and energy you put into helping us have a great (high school senior) photo session. Both boys have told me that they enjoyed working and meeting you. I, myself, have to give you praise on a professional level due too the fact that you were able to open them up. My son, Chris, has always had a problem in the past with taking good photos and to my surprise he did quite well for you. I am sincerely thankful for your work. You are very good at what you do, and I will highly recommend your work to anyone."

"Chad Mitchell Photography (CMP) was an outstanding choice for wedding photography. When it comes to "bang for your buck," there is no one better. CMP was professional, courteous, and very helpful from the first phone call through the entire process. His prices were extremely reasonable, and his "photo-journalistic" qualities were right on. Although I am sure he is capable of a very scripted photo album, that is not what we wanted. Our desire was for him to capture the wedding as it happened, so we could really remember the experience every time we look at our album. CMP helped make our wedding an unforgettable experience and we are forever grateful."

"The Forsyth Youth League board used Chad Mitchell of Chad Mitchell Photography for our 2006 Baseball/Softball team and individual photos. The feedback on Chad's work has been extremely positive. Chad was very easy to work with - flexible scheduling, always on time and the pictures came back very, very quickly. Based on this, the FYL Board is happy to recommend Chad for this type of work in the future."

"I was very impressed with the work Chad Mitchell did. We didn't believe that he could get that many pictures and have them all look good, but when we got our album we were amazed. Every single one of our pictures are amazing! He is very creative and listens to what you want. I didn't want to look back and only see those boring posed pictures. I wanted to have fun! Chad captured every fun moment and gave us something that we can look at and cherish for the rest of our lives. We will continue to use Chad for all our pictures especially the ones of our most prized valuble, our son Andrew which by the way Chad definitely captured Andrew's personality through out the wedding. Good luck, Chad, in your business and in life, and I know we will see you soon."

"We were a bit concerned that we would have to sacrifice quality to find a photographer within our budget, but then we came across Chad's website. We hired him for a "ceremony only" package and found that the photos we got back from Chad captured our day beautifully. We are delighted with the photo quality and the coverage we got of our event. The black & white photos Chad took while we were getting ready for the wedding really capture the quiet excitement of that morning. We had decided we wanted to see each other prior to the wedding to get more of the photos done and Chad was very sensitive to our desire for that moment to still be special. In fact, one of our favorite photos is one he took the moment just after we saw each other for the first time. Jason's face says it all. Chad was very respectful of our church's guidlines on photography and he managed to get some great "up-close" shots during the ceremony - which we didn't even notice him taking. We were amazed to find that our proofs were available shortly after we returned from our honeymoon. The only difficulty we had with Chad's photos was choosing which ones to order reprints or enlargements of because they are all so great!"

"I could go on for pages praising Chad's phenomenal work, but I'll try to condense it into a couple of paragraphs: First of all, Chad is affordable. Unlike some of the local photographers I researched who were charging up to $3000 for their services, Chad will work for less than $1000. That helps significantly, after trying to cover every other wedding expense! Secondly, Chad is not the typical businessman. After we had contacted Chad about our upcoming wedding, but before we had signed the contract to hire him, another couple tried to book him for the same date. They were willing to sign a contract that very night to seal the deal, but Chad made it very clear that my then-fiancé and I had "first dibs," since we had contacted him first. What a relief it was to know that we could trust him not to leave us hanging! Thirdly, Chad is accessible. He is receptive to e-mails and phone calls at home, and he is always quick to respond. What's more, he was often the one to contact me, just to touch base. That was reassuring! On our wedding day, Chad traveled all the way to Champaign from Forsyth and arrived at 8 a.m. for a pre-ceremony photo shoot. He was always very cheerful and flexible, willing to work around any last-minute schedule changes. That really took the stress off my shoulders! And during the ceremony itself, Chad was respectful of the chapel policies regarding when he could use flash and where he could walk, etc. And he was inconspicuous-we had many guests comment on how discreet he was when taking photos. For most of the ceremony, they didn't even notice he was there! It was wonderful for everyone to be able to focus on what was really important, without being distracted by the photographer. Kudos to Chad for reducing our wedding-day jitters and for so skillfully and artistically capturing the most precious moments of our lives!"

"It was a pleasure working with Chad Mitchell Photography regarding my son's senior portraits. My son can be very shy and Chad was able to capture some of the best smiles I've seen out of him. I am very pleased with the portraits and can't wait to share them with our family and friends. I am recommending Chad Mitchell Photography to my son's friends once they are ready to have their senior portraits done. Thanks again Chad for a great job!!"

"I was so pleased with the work that Mr.Mitchell had done for our wedding. Through the whole process he made us feel comfortable and relaxed about the big day. On the day of our wedding he was there on time, he did a phenomenal job with handling our family quirks. When we received our pictures, they looked amazing. Both my husband and I were very pleased with Mr. Mitchell's professionalism through everything, as well as his excellent work."

"Chad Mitchell was not only a good photographer during our session, but he made me feel at ease throughout the whole shoot! It was an extremely comfortable setting, and an overall fun time! His photographs are creative and unique, and he notices every detail in the shot. He is also patient, not in a rush to get the shoot over with, but willing to take the time to get just the right look. I definately recommend Chad Mitchell for any girl getting started out with her modeling career, or for any reason in general!"

"I never liked getting my picture taken, but Chad made me feel comfortable and made the experience fun. We had such a great time that we actually lost track of it. Some of the best things is that Chad was able to get all of my hobbies into a picture, he and captured the realistic side of me as well as the girly side (not a side all get to see). For someone who never liked pictures, I didn't want to leave. The pictures were great and gave me a self-esteem boost like no other. Now when one of my friends say smile for the camera, I do without hesitation. All thanks to Chad. I hope to use Chad again in the future and have recommened him to all of the kids at my school."

"You have finalized the plans, you have rehearsed your ceremony, your hair is done, your dress is on, and you are ready for your big day. I know that on my wedding day I did not want to concern myself with anything other than enjoying the celebration of my union with my husband. I told myself early in the day that no matter what happened, I was not going to worry about it. Then Chad arrived, and my prayers were answered. He made both Jason and I feel comfortable, and worry-free, all day. He took his time with us, never getting upset, or antsy with our family or friends, even when they were taking too much time preparing for pictures. The two things that stick in my mind regarding Chad on our special day were, one, that I never even knew he was there, but he took shots during the ceremony that were perfect, and I am grateful for, and two, he came up with on the spot shots outdoors that turned out so wonderfully that I couldn't have chosen a better set up. Chad makes your day last forever with his capture of moments you never knew existed. Thanks, Chad!"

"My husband and I chose Chad Mitchell as our photographer for our wedding on June 12, 2004. We were more than pleased while working with him throughout our whole experience, especially when we received our wedding photos back. Chad does an outstanding job at photography! We were very pleased with the affordable price of the package and how quickly we received our pictures back. Not only that, Chad genuinely cared about our opinions and ideas and was there to guide us when we weren't quite sure what we wanted. He made us feel very comfortable and at ease. His ideas are very unique and he really knows how to capture the feeling of the wedding day. From the first picture he took to the many pictures later, every picture has great sentiment to us and will remind us of each and every moment of our wedding day. It was a day that only happens once and because we chose Chad as our photographer we will be able look back at the pictures and almost relive that day again. We couldn't have made a better choice of photographers to capture our special day! I would recommend Chad to anyone."

It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of thanks. Rob
and I were so pleased with your services. From my bridal portraits, to our getting ready photos, to our reception
and ceremony, you conducted yourself with great professionalism, sincerity, and creativity. When Rob and I set
out to look for a wedding photographer it was very important that we find someone who could relate to our vision.
We wanted to look back at our photographs and see memories, not stuffy portraits as so many of our friends had.
You immediately put us to ease by showing us your work. It was great to know that you had worked with so many subjects,
from infants to products, we just knew that you would be able to capture the spirit of our day.

"Chad was wonderful to work with! He listened to all of our ideas and suggestions and brought them to life -- it was so nice to look back through the pictures and see our ideas in color! Chad is NOT pushy and doesn't follow you around snapping pictures every two seconds. He genuinely cares about the couple and makes you feel at ease. Chad's uniqueness, creativity, and attention to detail are evident in his excellent photography. We are very glad we chose Chad Mitchell to capture the memories of our special day."

"I had my senior pictures in the fall with Chad Mitchell. Taking my pictures with Chad was a lot of fun, he was very laid back and easy to work with. I really liked how he kind of let me do my own thing but yet made it so the pictures would look good they came out. Chad took a lot of time with me during my pictures, he wasn't trying to rush me to get to the next person. My pictures turned out wonderful and with out a doubt, I would tell everyone to have their pictures taken with Chad."

"In the past ive been to several different photographers, but the personal experience that we had with Chad was wonderful. I have a three-year old son, and as others know from experience, sometimes it can be very hard to get them to set still or even let a photographer take one photo of them. Chad took time to make it not only fun for my son to have his photo taken, he made it a wonderful memorable experience for both of us. The way his studio was set up made it so much easer for us to just be ourselves and not feel like we were being rushed in and out like other studios make you feel. Chad took tons of wonderful photos of both me and my son. It made it really hard to choose just that one we liked the best. They were all wonderful. His prices were very affordable. I know the next time we need a photographer, I will choose Chad as mine. Thank you again for all you did to make it the most wonderful session for me and my son to have done. I highly recommend Chad Mitchell to anyone who wants the highest of professional quality in a photographer. Even to this day as we drive down the road past his studio, my son will say to me, 'Mommy, I want my picture done'."

"Mr. Chad Mitchell was a pleasure to work with. He made the work environment very relaxing as well as entertaining. Mr. Mitchell gave us the freedom to do whatever poses we liked as well as offering us advice on what poses may look best. A photographer like Chad Mitchell makes modeling an easy and very enjoyable hobby. We would definitely recommend him to any professional or beginning model to help build their portfolios and advance their modeling careers."

"My husband and I chose Chad as our photographer for our May
wedding after seeing previous wedding portraits he had done. We love the way he captures detail in his pictures.
He made sure we had memories of all the little things we spent so much time and money on for our wedding. Chad
put our pictures to a 'storybook' theme for our big day. That made our wedding album flow like the fairy tale I've
always dreamed of. We love how our 'getting ready' pictures are in black and white, while the rest are in color.
We were very impressed at

"After speaking with a number of photographers, it was not a difficult choice to decide on the one we would want to photograph our wedding. We decided very quickly we wanted Chad to photograph our wedding, that no other would do. Chad has a way of making you comfortable and everything fun even on the day when there are so many details to focus on. From the first meeting with him, he worked very hard to make sure he understood everything that we wanted and he delivered just that. We could not be happier with our pictures or with Chad's performance. Many of our guests commented on how well he made himself unnoticeable during the ceremony. He was very discreet. He made sure that he never became the center of anyone's attention. We had a lot fun and have a lot of beautiful pictures to show for years to come. We would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone, in fact we already have to many."

"I was very comfortable working with Chad. Some photographers expect you to know exactly what to do, but if you need a little direction, Chad is very cool about helping you out. He kept things casual yet professional at all times. By the end of the shoot, I felt very comfortable with him. I can be a shy person, so that shows how easy to work with he is. The photos that he took were exactly what I needed to expand my portfolio. I told Chad what I needed, and I got exactly what I asked for."

"My experience in working with Chad Mitchell was very professional, but at the same time, very relaxed and fun. Chad created such an atmosphere that was very easy to work in and be myself in. He gave me exactly what I wanted to expand my portfolio and was very flexible in what types of pictures were taken. It was the most comfortable I've ever felt while doing a modeling photo shoot, because sometimes the photographers expect you to do pose after pose, Chad was full of his own ideas and gave direction when it was needed. Overall, he was very personable and an excellent experience working with him. I would recommend anyone to Chad and would gladly work with him again, given the chance."

"Chad N. Mitchell was our wedding photographer for our wedding ceremony and reception on October 4, 2003. We were very pleased with his services. Chad offered us an affordable price for a photo package that included everything we wanted. Chads service is a good value. He was more than willing to do what we wanted and accepted lots of input on our part. Chad Mitchell is flexible and has a positive attitude. He really enjoys his job. He was professional in every regard, and we received our prints in a timely manner. Our pictures were printed with high quality processing, and Chad creatively used various special effects for different photos. He used multiple settings and different light sources in unique ways to create memorable photos. He does a great job at recording the small details of a wedding through photographs. Chad was easy to communicate with and he kept contact with us, even though we were out of state, throughout the process. We are very happy that we chose Chad N. Mitchell to capture our wedding day."

"We were amazed when we received the photos back of our wedding. Chad's ability and experience in the 'making' of a photograhic moment distinguishes him apart from the photographers that just 'take' photos. We are happy that we entrusted Chad to handle the entire experience."

"My husband and I were very impressed with Chad's professionalism, not to mention his skill as a photographer. The pictures he presented us with were beautiful, not to mention creative. We could not have been happier with the outcome. If I had to plan another wedding, I would definitely ask Chad to be my photographer. After all, it is the most important day of your life and you need someone you can trust to preserve those memories. Chad undoubtedly fits the bill!"
