Brooke and her team were easy to work with and our guests loved the photo booth.

Photo Booth Event
r3mg created stunning custom invitations for my son’s Christening. We were able to have input during the design process and create just the right invitation. Since invitations set the tone for the entire event, it’s very important to get them just right – and Brooke at r3mg wouldn’t quit until we were absolutely happy. We live far away from r3mg but were able to create our invitations over email, which made things really easy, and Brooke was awesome about responding to our messages in a timely fashion.
It’s so nice to work with a designer and get something completely custom made for such a fair and reasonable price! We couldn’t have been more happy with the invitations and will certainly work with r3mg again. We recommend them to everyone!

The photo booth was a huge hit at the party. The photography was creative and beautifully shot. r3mg captures a special character and personality that we’ve never found other photographers have been able to do. We have family photos from r3mg that we will always cherish. We also hired them to photograph our cookie products for our business. We’ve referred them to friends and family and will continue to use them in the future for all of our special events and moments. Thank you r3mg!

Mark and the rest of the R3MG group rock! They are very responsive to any questions and concerns you may have, and are very easy to work with. When Mark shot our wedding, it was more like a friend taking (super-duper high-quality, aesthetically pleasing) photos. I have been also told by some people that they’re quite easy on the eyes too.
The photo booth at our reception was the star of the night. Mark told us that their photo booths are dance floor killers (since they’re so much fun!), and he wasn’t kidding. With all the hats, glasses, wigs, and other random accessories, the combinations were endless (much like those new touchscreen soda pop machines, only healthier!). The only way to have a have a great party is to hire these guys for photos and also have a booth. We had a great time, and will recommend them to any family or friends that will be having photographer/photo booth-appropriate parties.
You can tell that the people in this company take pride in what they do, and it shows in their services and products. This family-owned business is a gem that we were happy to find. We’re very thankful that we picked them to share our wedding day. Thanks guys!

Mark and AJ worked with us very well. They came early, and both took shots. We asked them to photograph an evening ceremony without using a flash, which is not easy. The pictures turned out amazing.

I ran into Brooke of R3MG at a wedding show and I was immediately taken by her warm, caring personality and the quality of the work displayed. I did not think that my budget would support invitations of this style and magnitude but after pricing something uglier and of lesser quality for the same price; my decision was made for me!
Brooke, offers among her many services, concierge wedding invitation designs. She met with me and my spouse at our home and brought a variety of hand assembled invitations for our review. She listened to my thoughts on color scheme and artwork and eventually created a design for us. When we received or proofs in the mail, they were created in a variety of stocks and envelope combinations so we could decide exactly what worked for us stylistically and financially. I received so many compliments and I have recommened her work repeatedly. Additionally, for all you OPRFHS graduates, her spouse is an alumn! thank you again.

R3MG photographers left me with beautiful memories of my wedding day. They did an outstanding job considering the terrible weather we had. They made my small intimate wedding seem so big & magical. I would recommend them to anyone!

I first met Brooke at a Bridal show and instantly fell in love with their work. Once we met outside of the show to discuss invitations and photography, I knew I needed them to be part of our special day! Their work is amazing and their personalities and professionalism is even better! They have gone above and beyond for us. We have gotten so many compliments on our engagement photos and being around them is like being around family. Brooke will be doing our wedding invitations and Mark will be photographing our wedding. We are truly blessed to have met such artistic and creative people to be part of our day. Everything that my fiance and I have envisioned in our heads, they have created with not a beat missed. Truly grateful for them and they will be in our lives for years to come. I cannot say enough good things about their work and them!!!!!!!!

The group at r3mg was by far the best group you could possibly work with. The quality of their work is top notch and I would highly recommend them to anybody. The group is not only professional and incredibly talented, but they are great all around people that were amazing to have. We were lucky to have them as part of our big day and would absolutely recommend them to anybody in the Chicago area.

You will not be disappointed with either of them. I still have people telling me what a great job they did and i definitly will cherish all of my photos that they took forever. when getting married i believe your pictures are one of the most important thing you will have from your wedding because they are memories of the most important day of your life. Thanks again m3g for all your hard work and dedication! Also you get your pictures back very quick.

R3MG did a beautiful job on our invitations. Brooke was extremely easy to work with and she truly listened to what I wanted and provided ideas and suggestions she thought would fit my style. She designed our invitations just the way I imagined them. Also, there was a change in plans and we needed to notify all 250 of our guests and she took control and was very prompt on getting the notices out. (And they matched our invites) It was one less thing I had to worry about. Everyone at R3mg was extremely helpful, they are very friendly and make you feel comfortable. I will definitely use their services again and again when the opportunity arises.

I have had an amazing experience working with R3MG Creative Boutique. Mark was beyond accommodating before the wedding getting to know myself and my husband and what kind of shots we are looking to get the day of the wedding. On the day of the wedding, Mark and AJ were there capturing the excitement and anticipation we all felt. Mark and AJ made us feel at ease, comfortable, and less nervous to truly let the magic of the wedding shine through. And the quality of work is seen in the photographs. They were quick to get the pictures up and available and I have not stopped receiving incredible compliments on them. I sometimes look at the pictures and I am still in shock and awe of their beauty. I could not have asked for a better photographer to keep those memories forever. I would (and have) recommended this company to everyone I know.

My original photographer broke his arm less than 2 weeks before our wedding… lucky for us, he recommended Mark at R3mg who was actually available at the last minute. I didn’t have a chance to meet with him prior to the wedding as I live in Boston and he’s in Chicago, but we spoke on the phone and I immediately felt confident that he’d do a great job.When Mark arrived at the hotel he got to work right away shooting pictures of the venue, my bridal party, family and everything else. Mark was like a ninja with his camera! He got lots of great shots, but we never noticed he was there. He made sure that we got all of the photos we wanted (group shots, etc) and he was there to get all of the big moments (cake cutting, first dances, etc). Mark was so laid back and very cool to work with throughout the wedding.The day after our wedding he already had a great picture of us up on his Facebook site! It was so cool to be able to share that picture right away with friends and family who could not make it. Within the next week I got an email from him with our online gallery of all the edited photos. They are awesome! Considering we didn’t initially know Mark or his work, he really stepped in and saved the day. We are so happy with how everything turned out.

I can not brag enough about how good of an experience I’ve had with R3mg. I had the photography and stationary services. First the stationary. I was able to work with Brooke, one of the cousins. I came to her last minute, and by last minute I mean one week or less before my event, with an order for place cards, menus, and programs. I do not recommend you do this, but she delivered and they were BEAUTIFUL! She did not make me feel bad at all for procrastinating! Very accommodating. And she was able to work within my budget! Definite plus!Now on to photography. Mark and AJ, the other cousins, are remarkable! When have you ever had photos so good that OTHER people show them off more than the bride does!? Mark is the main photographer and he is truly an artist. I felt so comfortable with him and he was able to capture my husband and I as we truly are. Meaning not posed, like some photographer do. AJ was able to get my husband and his groomsmen to smile and pose for the pictures! That in itself is a feat!R3mg provides great service! Jamie, their coordinator, is fabulous! I will stop here because I could truly go on for pages on how great they are. Highly recommended!

We took advantage of an Amazon Local offer to get our photos taken for an hour. We didn’t know the photographer, but with the deal we had little to lose. Mark was our photographer and the good humor and patience he had with my camera-shy, overly-energetic kids was truly impressive. He talked us into a few posed shots but mostly took candids at our request. There are several wonderful photos in what he sent us.We wanted to embed some of the photos in our holiday newsletter, so we bought the DVD to get everything he took. The cover of the DVD is beautiful! They put one of the photos on the cover, wrapping the image around to the back. It’s a print on the hard copy of the case, not just a piece of paper stuck into a CD case.Overall: Good results from a guy who knew what he was doing and brought a lot of fun to the session. My husband and I would certainly recommend them – this is only the second time I’ve ever felt strongly enough to write a Yelp review.

Its taken me far too long to write this, but we used r3 after getting a groupon-like offer (Gleeday) for a photo shoot. Brooke worked with me on numerous scheduling conflicts and was very accommodating. The session itself was scheduled on a rainy day and we somehow caught the one hour that the sun briefly came out. From our pictures, it looks like it was the perfect fall day. I can’t say enough how happy I was with the results. Mark did a fabulous job capturing the moments and the digital work between then and delivery was outstanding. I will definitely be rescheduling next year when its time for pix again. Thanks!

A friend recommended Mark Randazzo to me when I was looking for a last-minute events photographer for the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. Mark did an incredible job. We were all blown away by the quality, versatility, and richness of the photos Mark produced. The photos had beautiful, oftentimes innovative composition and all felt fresh and alive. Well done, Mark! A+ from me!

My sisters and I chose r3 Multimedia to take our Holiday photos last year for our parents. Mark came to the house and got comfortable with all of us immediately. It lasted about an hour and we were just our selves while he walked around and snapped photos. It is usually hard to get one that all three of us like, but he was able to capture many. We are planning another portrait session with r3 this year to include the entire family. I would recommend r3 to anyone who is willing to go outside the norm of photo taking and indulge in a fun and unique experience, resulting in perfect moment-capturing photos!

My sisters and I used r3mg last year for Christmas pictures as a gift to our parents and I also had them design a Holiday Card for my son and I. There’s 3 of us girls and my son (who’s 6) so getting pictures that we all REALLY like is really hard to do! I LOVED that the photographer captured us in our daily lives throughout the shoot and didn’t have us sitting in front of a white or gray sheet posing; it just isn’t natural! The ones that were taken of my son and I were the best pictures of the two of us thus far! Being a parent you’re always looking at professional pictures of other children and wishing you could have yours look like that too and r3 captured that for me! The goofiness my son and I share together and the hugs and kisses in the pictures were just outstanding! The Holiday card displayed all of my pictures with my son throughout the shoot and they’re the most AMAZING pictures yet! I can’t wait to use them again this year and continue on a new tradition with r3mg!!!!!!

I want to express my gratitude for the superb photography done by r3mg. I wouldn’t have even had the creativity to imagine some of the pictures taken let alone actually doing it! When I look at my family pictures it always brings a smile to my face, not only are they beautiful pictures but also inspired! The “look at the camera and smile” pictures do not capture the mood or essence of the event/person. R3mg works hard and succeeds in doing just that!

I used r3 Multimedia to take pictures of my son and our dog as a father’s day present. My husband said it was the best present he ever received. The pictures were great and Mark was so much fun to work with. We would absolutely use them again. Tammie.originally submitted to Yelp

I used r3 Multimedia for invitations for an event for work. Not only did the invitations look better than I could have ever imagined, but Brooke and her company put the invitations, reply cards, and envelopes together for me. Talk about great service! I looked around at several other printing options, and r3 had the lowest prices for the most amount of service (printing, assembly, delivery, etc). Additionally, they put a lot of time and effort into my invitations, making several adjustments for me and with a very keen attention to detail. I can’t thank them enough and I know our guests will be very impressed with these invitations. Doing business with r3 was easy, quick, and competent, and I look forward to using them in the future.

r3 multi media group offers great ideas and design. What I enjoyed most about working with r3 is they took the time to get to know me and what I have to offer in my business so that they could develop my brand to really showcase who I am and what I have to offer to my market. It’s the perfect combination of personal touch and creativity. I would recommend giving r3mg a call for all your media needs.

can not say enough good things about Mark and the team. I shared the experience with the other reviewer (Steve) and I have to add further support in his comments about how great their whole team is. Brooke was quick to respond to my emails and knew exactly who to forward me to and gave great advice. Mark was a great listener and really knew what he was doing and knew how to tailor his vision to our personalities.Post-wedding, I can honestly say that my family/friends had a wonderful time working with Mark. He was incredibly patient with my loud, obnoxious and demanding friends (I say this in the good way. What friends aren’t loud and annoying?) A.J was the second photographer and I just have to say, if anyone knew how to take a candid photo, it was A.J. The only times I saw him were AFTER he already snapped the shots. This was perfect for my family since I didn’t want too many posed shots and that is all my family knew how to do when they saw a camera.We’ve already seen some of the photos on the R3mg facebook page and EVERYONE is impressed. We can’t wait to see the rest and to do a “Trash the Dress” shoot in a few months.ONLY ONE NEGATIVE- Mark didn’t bring any business cards! So many people were asking about him but he made good on his word and made himself available via facebook. No doubt he will be getting a lot of business from our guests.Thanks again R3MG! This whole weekend would not have been as great without you!

Mark at R3mg saved us when our unimpressive photographer flat out canceled on us. Now, this review is not going to do Mark enough justice for how amazing he is. He showed us a bunch of his portfolios, which were incredible, and we had to wrestle it out of him (he’s not one to toot his own horn) but he’s also had photos on the cover of a few wedding magazines. After getting to know him a bit, he scheduled us for an engagement photo session so that we could really figure out if we liked his work. Our experience with him was completely different than the one with our previous photographer. He was always checking his lighting, positioning a wireless flash, used a few different lenses, and was not posing us but getting us naturally. He spent about 3 hours with us on a hot Sunday morning walking all over taking photos. AND THIS WAS BEFORE WE EVEN HIRED HIM!! He edited and posted 20 of the photos by that afternoon and the rest we saw about 4 days later. I don’t think there was a single photo we didn’t like. Needless to say, we are definitely booking him to shoot our wedding, and I would recommend him to anybody and everybody.

We had Mark and his team do our wedding and they were absolutely amazing! Everything from the pictures to the meetings. We had Mark do our engagement session, wedding, and we also had the photo booth. Mark was great to work with and made everything so easy for me. It was one vendor that I knew I didn’t have to worry about. We had a great time at our engagement session and our amazing pictures were sent to us very quick! The day of the wedding, Mark came to my house while I was getting ready and jumped right in. He started having fun with the bridesmaids and made the day a little bit more fun! While we were on our honeymoon we were able to get a little taste of some of the pictures and they were beyond our expectations! The pictures he took were just amazing! We were getting compliments about our photographer saying what a great guy he was and what an awesome photographer. He was always there, but never pushy, demanding, intrusive, or in the way. He would be at the center of attention without being known. I still have no clue how he got some of the pictures that he did!! Mark, Brook, and AJ were just absolutely a dream to work with! I know I will be hiring them in the future! I have a lot of friends and family getting married and I have been very pushy to have them use Mark and his team. I just know they are a great group to work with and that no other photographers around even compare to the quality and the passion that Mark and his team posses! Thank you r3mg for making my wedding so wonderful! This won’t be the last time you hear from me! :)

WE LOVE r3!!! They consistently produce amazing pics and Mark has a gift for capturing the personality of our kids on camera…we have searched high & low and paid an arm/leg for some great pics, but don’t ever feel the need to look any further than r3 — they are a family run biz right here in OP, will take pics anywhere and are amazingly responsive – CALL THEM!!
