Introduction
Hi, my name is Al Bracken! Please >>ONLY<< contact me if you would like to book me for your shoot and do not contact other photographers because it is not free for photographers to receive messages from clients. And guess where you can also find me! I do not offer videography as well. Also, please check out my automatic quote and determine if it is in your price range before reaching out. Thanks! I'm primarily a fashion photographer that does "everything else !" I shoot for 6 Midwest-based model/talent agencies and the top ones I've shot for include Ford Chicago, Wilhelmina New York, Wilhelmina LA, and Red New York. I've photographed Michael Belhing, co-star on 'All American', Makenzie Roony, winner of 'Making a Model with Yolanda Hadid,' Top Model Achenrin Madit, and have been published in Vogue and L'Officiel. I think that is what helps me stand out locally, my background in fashion and entertainment. I also shoot events, weddings, themed shoots, you name it! Thanks for reading this and talk soon! Al

Al did a great job with our engagement photos. His work was a mix of creative poses and more natural-looking shots. We picked a location that you had to hike through the woods to get to, and he was a trooper about walking there with his equipment! Would recommend highly.

Details: Posed engagement photoshoot • Artful composition and lighting • Candid • Natural or environmental • Outdoors • Two locations • Online or digital proofs and prints • CD / DVD • My home, venue, etc.

Thanks Shawn! Engagement shoots are always fun too. I have all sorts of ideas for these types of shoots because I know the couple will look back at the photos years from now and reminisce.

From the minute I reached out to Al, he was extremely responsive and a great help! My fiancé and I were looking to take engagement photos but weren’t sure where to start. After reaching out to Al, he gave me and call and really got the detail down of what we were looking for, options to think about and the value he was going to provide. Leading up to the photo shoot, he provided great guidance and insights as to when, where and how to prepare for our session. The day of the session with Al was nothing but a great success. He had great vision and ideas for how to best execute the shoot. He was extremely kind, respectful and personable! After getting our photos, we were nothing but pleased with the results and the great experience we had. We would definitely recommend Al and his services!

I contacted Al, thanks to Thumbtack, to shoot my engagement. It was a surprise proposal and my fiancée did not even know that I am going to show up with a ring and a photographer. There were other photographers who did not want to take this project up because there were so many things that could go wrong because of the surprise component of it. But Al encouraged me from the get go. Also he had covered surprise proposals before, so that experience also proved valuable. I hired him and I am glad I did. He did a splendid job capturing the moments beautifully. I wanted natural moments or rather ‘candid’ pictures rather than posing in front of the camera. He did a great job in that regard. He was by there on time and we had to wait for almost an hour in the cold outside because we had to be at the chosen spot well before my fiancée showed up there. He knew he would have to wait and he did that without any fuss because he understood that patience was important for this project to be a success. He delivered the photographs right on time within a week. His editing is also to my liking because he does not overdo it. He already told me in the confirmation document that the photographs will be lightly retouched and I wanted exactly that. So all in all it was a wonderful experience and I mean it. I would definitely work with him again if I get an opportunity. I am immensely grateful to him. He is simply awesome!
