Nakai Photography

Kenny was fantastic! I wanted my proposal to be a surprise and he helped me plan it out and even helped come up with an alibi. Not only were the pictures fantastic, his communication and expertise made the day perfect. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND KENNY TO EVERYONE!! I couldn’t imagine having anyone else capture the moment, thanks Kenny!!

I worked with Kenny to photograph my proposal. The process was smooth and stress free. Kenny was incredibly communicative throughout the planning process and on the day of the event. He made us both feel comfortable and gave us the space and freedom to be ourselves in front of the camera. The pictures turned out great and were delivered quickly (some even the same day!).

Kenny was absolutely amazing to work with! From planning the proposal to capturing the moment, everything was seamless and stress-free. He made us feel comfortable, gave great direction, and captured every special moment beautifully. The photos exceeded our expectations and we couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. If you’re looking for a proposal or engagement photographer in Chicago, I highly recommend Nakai Photography. Thank you for helping us preserve such an unforgettable memory!

Hiring Kenny as our wedding photographer was one of the easiest and best decisions we made! Kenny spent so much time explaining his photography style and making us feel incredibly comfortable from start to finish. Additionally, he helped us curate a manageable timeline to help us capture the day perfectly. All of the pictures we received from Kenny are timeless pieces of art. My favorite part about Kenny’s photography style is that he incorporates landscape and architecture in many of his shots. Our wedding day flew by in the blink of an eye but thanks to Kenny we can look back on our pictures and it brings us right back to each moment. We received a lot of great compliments about our venue, flowers, and DJ but nothing will compare to the amount of AMAZING comments we received about Kenny. Nearly every guest we had at our wedding had the most amazing things to say about him and the pictures that he posted on his blog shortly after our wedding day. We just received our wedding album in the mail and it is an absolute treasure. Kenny spent hours selecting pictures that would tell the perfect story of our day. Kenny is truly one of the best and we cannot recommend him enough!

I worked with Kenny for my proposal in Chicago and he was outstanding from the start. He was extremely responsive and was gave thorough options for potential proposal spots throughout the city based on the criteria I had, along with sample photos & satellite shots of specific locations. He was super communicative and available, and willing to essentially be 'on call' for a handful of days that I thought the proposal might happen. On the day of the actual proposal, he was set up well ahead of time, and even went above and beyond to try and warn some of the people nearby that a proposal was happening soon, ultimately resulting in a more intimate moment for my fiancee and me. Pricing was upfront and transparent, and the shots he captured were outstanding. I would absolutely recommend anyone looking to get their engagement captured to work with Kenny. I had an outstanding experience working with him!
