I come from a large Italian family with many us extended into the arts or passionate about cooking and singing. I picked up my first camera in high school and immediately I was hooked. Today, I have over a decade in the industry, multiple commendations, and have held the Wedding Wire Couples' Choice Award and The Knot Best of Weddings Award 7 years in a row and counting.
Growing up, I was always doing some kind of visual art, whether it be photography or video editing or photo restoration. The photography industry is always changing so I have to stay updated on the latest programs and techniques. Photography is not just about the capture, but also very much about the post production.

We have a modern and unobtrusive style, with a stress free personality from start to finish. Filming and editing is upbeat depending on your package offers a blend of cinematic and documentary.
Without a doubt, my favorite vendor the day of my wedding. When I was looking for a photographer I started my search at big companies where you couldn't meet the photographer but you could see 15-20 of their professional photos. I then met with a photographer who was charging $3000 for 5 hours of photography and nothing else, OMG!?

I selected for Xcite photo for my wedding photography and videography and I could not be any happier. Andrew and his team were nothing but professional and made me feel at ease on the most important day of my life. The quality of the photos were beyond spectacular. They have a great eye for picking certain sceneries for background that make the day even more memorable. One thing I have to recommend, is the videography package where they make a mini movie set to music. I love, love, love my little movie. Everyone I have shown it too has said it is spectacular. I have watched it everyday for the

We had the honor of working with Andrew and his team for our wedding in October of 2021. He also did our engagement session pre-wedding and was an absolute breeze to work with! We booked with him for photography and videography for our special day and could not be happier with the way things turned out! The photos...amazing, The video... perfection! There is a package for every price point and there are many different add-on options as well. Andrew and his team truly have a passion for this business and it shows in their quality of work! I'd recommend them over and over and over again! His timeline

We were absolutely thrilled everything Xcite Photo had to offer for our wedding day photos. The package was so reasonably priced for the amazing value we got. The team was so professional on the day and made us feel so comfortable. They also were so response during our planning process and really took all the stress off of us. Our pictures and video were delivered within 3-5 weeks of the wedding day and they turned out absolutely amazing. I would definitely recommend them for all your photo/video needs.

If you are on the hunt for the best photographer and videographer, look no further, Andrew and his team are one of a kind! They were absolutely amazing to work with and made our day even more special by being there to document the whole day for us. Andrew and his team exceeded our expectations. Him and his team started to documenting the little moments such as my mom helping me into my dress, my first look with my father and my bridesmaids. They also captured some wonderful photos of my husband getting ready with the guys at the church. Andrew and his team didn't miss a single detail, I have the

We had the honor of working with Andrew and his crew for our wedding in August. We had photography, videography, and also had him bring in a photo booth. Working with Andrew was a breeze, he did our engagement shoot and our wedding. We are ecstatic with how the photos came out. The pictures he took were on point and absolutely breathtaking. On top of capturing everything we wanted, he was quick to get our pictures back to us. Andrew was professional and was very fluid with taking pictures on our big day, therefore, no time was wasted. We were able to get all of the pictures we wanted because he

Andrew and his team were great to work with! On the day of our engagement photos it was raining, and he made it very easy to reschedule knowing that we wouldn't want them done in the rain.
He was very prepared for the wedding day- he had the full schedule of where they needed to be and they were on time and prompt with what we asked for. My first look photos with my father and my husband make me cry every time I look at them- He captured the moment perfectly. All of the pictures turned out so beautifully and make reminiscing on the day so fun. He suggested doing a speed round of pictures where

Andrew and his team are AMAZING! Not only did we use him in our wedding, but we've seen his work in numerous of our friends' weddings. He offers a variety of packages to suit the couples style, and the pricing is unbelievable! Andrew was very accommodating to fit our needs best! He has such a calm presence too which is important during such a stressful day. He gives timelines and stays true to his word. His communication is also something to note. You can tell Andrew loves what he does and it can be seen in the beautiful photos that he creates.

Choosing Xcite was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We used this team for both of our ceremonies as well as reception and it was a great experience. Andrew really does strive to make sure that you are happy with the service and is very easy to work with. Andrew worked with us on our first ceremony day which was a Hindu wedding and he did great capturing those beautiful moments and knew exactly which parts were important. Phil worked with us on our Catholic Wedding day and reception day and truly got some amazing shots. He was also so easy to work with and down to earth. We really

I had a feeling before I even met Andrew that he would be our photographer. There was just something about his message and obviously his eye that caught my attention. Nick and I were thrilled with have Andrew and his team with us for our big day! We worked with Andrew a week before our wedding for a last minute engagement shoot in December (we live in LA but are from Chicago originally). It was freezing out but Andrew was a trooper and we had a lot of fun walking around downtown Naperville together. He has a very quick turnaround time, who doesn't love that? He was very quick and efficient

We are so glad that we were able to book Andrew's team for our wedding on 08/25/18. We highly recommend them! They are amazing and offer prices that cannot be beat for the quality of service you will receive. The entire team is wonderful. The team promptly answered all of my questions and addressed all of my concerns. When we saw our engagement photos, we immediately knew this is the team we want with us on our wedding day. Our wedding photos are pure perfection and the short montage video turned out amazing! Everybody is so impressed with their work. On our wedding day, they arrived on

I am so happy we went with Xcitephoto&films for our wedding photos and videography as well as our engagement photos! There work is amazing and I love every single photo they took as well as their creativity! After doing quite a bit of research on wedding photographers we were referred to Andrew by another bride and checked out their website and loved their package options. Once we met with him we really liked how easy going, calm and nice he was. On our wedding day our team was great, they were efficient, creative, and so easy to work with! They captured us having fun and very candid moments

Andrew is absolutely incredible. It was a second wedding for both me and my husband, and as such, we had three kids between us who we were also trying to photograph. Andrew managed to capture hundreds of fantastic images of all five of us, whereas normally when we take pictures together, at least one of the kids isn't smiling, is looking the wrong way, is poking one of the other kids, etc. We were beyond impressed that he was able to capture so many wonderful images. In going through literally hundreds of photos, we couldn't pick out a bad one. Andrew was so patient with all of us
