Linczak Photography

Ted and Rachel Linczak are awesome. Just awesome.
When my fiancé (now wife) told me that we were going to have engagement pictures taken, I couldn’t believe it. I was already unexcited about wedding pictures, and now we are having engagement pictures? You have got to be kidding me.
Ah, but a few minutes after getting started with Ted and Rachel, I was having a blast. More important, so was my wife, who hates to be in front of a camera.
The pictures Ted and Rachel took were absolutely stunning. I can’t come close to conveying in this review how impressed all of our friends and family were with their results. It was almost insulting at times… «wow they made you guys like so GOOD!» Huh…
But in all seriousness, they did things that we couldn’t have imagined them doing. All the while, to our untrained ears, their requests sounded so strange. «Whisper something funny in her ear. Lean your hips in really far and bend your back uncomfortably backward. Say something dirty.»
Each of these commands resulted in a unique picture that we will value forever. Many wedding photographers charge an arm and a leg for very high quality, professional portraits and snapshots. The Linczaks compose every shot and coax priceless expressions from their clients.
Our wedding day pictures were even more amazing. And, just as amazing as their photography work was what they did for us during our reception.
Between dinner and dessert, they set up a giant projector and showed a 3 – 4 minute slide show of some of the best pictures they got EARLIER THAT DAY! The amount of «ooohs» and «aaahs» from our guests was staggering. They were amazed that we had been to so many places and that some of these places resulted in such dramatic pictures.
Some of the places we went seemed really strange and unusual, but they just worked. In front of a loading dock door… in a cramped and dirty side entrance to a downtown building… midway up a fire escape… the front door of city hall… we even climbed into the window frame of the Cleveland Department of Education building, which was covered in thick ivy that had turned orange and red for the season. One of our best shots was of us walking hand in hand up the brick section of Main Avenue under the Shoreway bridge.
We were lucky that everything went smoothly for our wedding, but the photography was more than smooth. It was positively jaw-​droppingly good.
