Reflections By Paul - Client Words

     " I can't think of a finer photographer than Paul Chokota! Not only that, but he's easy to work with! How often do you find that combination? You know how those creative types are! But his momma raised him right. He works hard. He takes care of his customers. And he delivers on time! Hire him! That's one part of your event you won't have to worry about. I've used his services both personally and professionally. I can tell you that I've never been disappointed. Never. You can bet I'll use him again!
     Hire him! Maybe then he can get a haircut. "

Paul,
You truly have a gift and it is not just me that sees it. I sincerely wish that I could have the opportunity to watch you in action, I love absorbing the creativity of other photographers and learning from them.......I believe that everyone has room to grow! It is my ultimate dream to have my own business just like you and to receive such wonderful praises like this one. I would find it so captivating to be apprenticed under you and learn from a great mind. Congrats on another awesome job!!

"Paul 'luc Chokota and his work are UNBELIEVABLE! He definately has a passion for what he is doing!! We had our engagement pictures at Loose Park...I had a bridal shoot at Union Station (which will be used for advertising in The Knot) and then of course the wedding! My bridal pictures are absolutely stunning (hate to brag)....but everytime I look at them I just think...OMG that's ME! I had a detailed list of pictures I wanted taken pre/post ceremony (I come from a large/split-up family). Paul was on top of them all and in a very timely fashion!! After the ceremony we went to the Plaza and Kauffman Gardens for about an hour...wonderful time!! Paul goes ABOVE and BEYOND....many of the other guests wanted their family picts taken as well at the reception and he made time for everyone!! I've seen a few of the wedding pictures and can not wait to see the rest!! "

      Paul,
Thank you so much for taking my pictures on saturday, I absolutely loved them! I had so much fun working with you and it was a great experience. I cant wait to show all my family and friends my favorite pictures. I will be sure to give all of my friends your card.
                                                                                                               Thanks again,
                                                                                                                       - Valerie

Paul,
The pictures that you took of Valerie are fabulous. We can't thank you enough. The problem is that we like far too many of them. I'm just wondering what our next step is. How many should we choose? Do we need to get together to discuss or go over the details? Just let Mark or I know how should we proceed. Again, thank you so much for spending so much of your time with us on Sunday. We really enjoyed it-you do awesome work! I look forward to working with you.
- Cathy Edmondson

Wow, thank you thank you! You are awesome, I will show these to Doug tomorrow and see which ones he likes thank you so much. You are very talented!
- Dana Schallenberg

Hi Paul,
The pics look great I am so glad that you were able to do the wedding. You were a huge hit and everyone loved you! Thanks again and I am thrilled with the way they turned out. I actually found some of me that I don't totally hate. :)

Dear Paul,

We just wanted to write to say thank you for all of your hard work in making our album so BEAUTIFUL!!! Everyone that we show it to says how awesome it is. I believe that the comment we get most often is..."I haven't ever seen anything like this before!"....it is a big hit. We love each and every page of it and we are so happy to have something like this to cherish forever. We really enjoyed working with the two of you. You both are a lot of fun and easy to work with. We think it is important to choose a photographer that you feel comfortable around, and we definitely did feel that way with you. You made our wedding day photography stress free! I don't think there are many photographers that stick around until after last call taking photos just because they want to. We could not believe that you guys were still there at midnight! This just goes to show how much the two of you love doing what you do....and that is what makes you good at it! :) Thanks again for everything you did for us. We will ABSOLUTELY be referring you to everyone we know in need of a photographer and we will be using you again in the future I'm sure! We look forward to having you over to shoot family photos of us once we have children.

Take care~

Mike & Michelle Mora

Paul thank you so much for making our day so special with all of the unique and beautiful pictures. The book was awesome and more than we could have ever imagined it to be!!! You were so fun to have at the wedding, we couldn't have asked for a better photographer, you captured EVERY moment and for that we are greatful. Again thank you so very much for the beautiful shots, book and all of the memories you captured!!! The photographer is always one thing that the bride stresses about and I can honestly say you took that stress from me! I am so glad we had the opportunity to work with you, we couldn't imagine the wedding with out you and your team being apart of it.

Paul,
First off I wanted to say thank you for being flexible and changing days so we were able to take pictures on such a beautiful day. Jason and I really enjoyed doing the photo session today. We felt that you took great photos and were great to work with. We look forward to seeing the rest of the photos that we haven’t seen yet.
Secondly could we get a picture or two as a tease while we wait for all of them.
Thank you so much
Brandy and Jason

Hi Paul,
I've been going through the photos this weekend, Iike them, thanks for asking :-) My only issue is my computer is so slowwww, so it takes me a long time to edit them. But, that's a problem on my end, not yours ;-) I'd rather the files be high-res and take a long time to edit vs. low-res and quick!
Thanks,

Melissa

Paul,
Just a quick note, I was Ashlley's stepmother and still love her dearly. I
was privileged to meet you briefly at her wedding. Her father sent me the
link to your website and I am in awe of your photos and talent. Thank you
so much for your kindness and generosity to her and Jordan. She has had a
rough life and is so deserving of a Cinderella story. Thank you!!
Cherie M. Gordon
He has some REALLY good specials right now!! BUT, whatever you do, DO NOT call him a cheap photographer!! He and his crew do an amazing job! Very dedicated to their 'art'!

Monica

Paul,
I find words inadequate to express the thankfulness I feel for what you have done for my son and his new bride.
Your creativity captured the feelings of the day in such a beautiful way. Your passion and compassion are evident in the art you create. Never would I have imagined that I could so vividly remember the feelings and events of the day thru photographs. But what you have created, are not mere photographs – they are moments of time that reflect the love and beauty that was shared that special day - captured forever.
I feel a mere “Thank you” is not nearly sufficient enough to convey to you the appreciation I feel, but until I find the words I seek, I will humbly tell you: Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Laurie Bogue (Mother of the Groom)

Hey Paul,
I went and looked at the pictures. You did good job on picking which pictures. Jason got a kick out the sticking the tongue out one. LOL. I wanted to also let you know I just made our guest book on mypulisher with our engagement pictures that you took. And I really excited to get to use it.
