"The owner, Ron, was very nice but not the most giving of information about his photographers. Our photographer, Jon, was terrible. He took some good photos but we were let down by his lack of leadership that day. There were many photos that were missed that we would have liked him to take. We were unable to speak with him until 3 days BEFORE the wedding because that was company policy. I asked the owenr several times in the months prior to that if I could speak with Jon so we could get an idea of who we would be working with. I was told repeatedly "don't worry everything will be fine." That should have been the tip-off from the start. Stay away from Studio One--Des Plaines"
