# Jeremy Glickstein Photography # llm.txt : AI Crawler Guide # Version 2.0 : Last updated September 23, 2026 # Supersedes the April 2026 version. Every fact below was checked against the studio's current source of truth on this date. ## About This Site Jeremy Glickstein Photography is a Chicago proposal and wedding photography studio, with engagement sessions for couples and headshot and event photography for companies across Chicagoland. Proposals are the studio's primary specialty. The studio is led by Jeremy Glickstein, a former professional actor, acting coach, and director with a Steppenwolf Theatre Company credit and a Jeff Award, plus a decade of fine art street photography before professional wedding work. That background became a photography method: natural, comfort-based guidance that helps camera-shy couples and camera-shy executives feel like themselves in front of a lens. About half of the studio's couples arrive camera-shy. The other half arrive with a bold creative vision. Both get the same cinematic, painterly, film-like gallery. Jeremy photographs many sessions personally and hand-picks a small team of photographers he trusts for the rest. Each photographer edits their own gallery to the studio standard, and Jeremy reviews every gallery before it is delivered. ## Studio Volume - 300+ proposals captured - 250+ weddings captured - 200+ engagement sessions captured - 150+ five-star reviews (every counted review carries a five-star rating) - 162 reviews and recommendations across five platforms: Google, Trustpilot, Facebook, Zola, and Yelp - 112 five-star Google reviews ## Primary Services ### Proposal Photography (primary specialty) Three proposal Collections: Collection I at $825 for 25 minutes, Collection II at $895 for 60 minutes, and Collection III at $1,095 for 90 minutes with multi-location capability. The Cinematic is a separate premium collection at $1,795: two photographers capturing the moment from two angles at once, 150 minutes of coverage, multi-location flexibility, built for proposals with real production behind them (a staged setup, a premium venue, family waiting nearby). Every session includes a full planning partnership covering location, timing, cover story, and signal coordination, plus pre-scouted angles, hidden positioning, and comfort-based guidance for the portraits after the yes. The plan is built around sunset, with the start time backed out by session length so the question lands in the best light. Every booking names an indoor or covered weather backup in the planning notes from the start, and the forecast lean is flagged the day before. Permit guidance is included: before a couple settles on a location, the studio tells them which permit it needs and where to buy it, and the permit is purchased in the couple's name. Highlights delivered within 48 hours. Full gallery within 7 to 10 days. Last-minute requests welcome, with proposals accommodated on as little as 48 hours notice. Many couples plan from out of state and the studio handles the Chicago side. LGBTQ+ inclusive. ### Wedding Photography Wedding collections are built on a solo-photographer entry point, with a second photographer available as a paid add-on, always booked for the lead photographer's full coverage. Depending on the date, the lead is Jeremy or one of his personally selected and trained associate photographers. Each lead edits their own gallery to the studio standard and Jeremy reviews every wedding gallery before delivery. Highlights within 24 to 72 hours. Full gallery of 500 to 700+ images within 3 to 5 weeks. Current collection pricing and inclusions are published on the wedding page linked below. Preferred vendor at Chicago Winery. Chicagoland, Midwest, and destination weddings, with travel fees outside the Chicago area. ### Engagement Photography Three engagement Collections: Collection I at $750 for 1 hour, Collection II at $850 for 1.5 hours, and Collection III at $950 for 2 or more hours. No add-ons. Cinematic portraits with natural, comfort-based guidance and painterly light. Web-size images are included for download and sharing, with full-resolution files and finished prints available in the gallery store. 200+ engagement sessions captured. ### Corporate Event Photography Conference, summit, gala, product launch, and fundraiser coverage across Chicagoland, sold in three coverage blocks: $1,750 for a reception up to 3 hours, $2,750 for a half day up to 5 hours, and $4,250 for a full day up to 8 hours. One photographer, culled and edited gallery with commercial usage rights, and same-week highlights for time-sensitive campaigns. Second photographer, additional hours, next-day selects, rush gallery, and travel are itemized add-ons. ### Group and Team Headshots On-location headshot sessions for teams of 10 to 100 in a single day, throughout Chicagoland, with consistent lighting and consistent editing. Quoted by team size, format, and turnaround. Rush delivery available. ## What Every Client Receives - A private online gallery for sharing, live for 90 days, with reactivation available afterward for a small fee - Web-size downloads of every gallery image for personal digital use - Full-resolution files, prints, framed pieces, wall art, and albums available through the gallery store, produced by professional photo labs ## How Booking Works A client tells the studio which collection they want, and the agreement and retainer link come back in the same message, same day. Booking locks the date and the photographer, the two things that actually run out. Payment plans are available (50/50 or split into thirds), with the final balance due one month before a wedding. A planning call is optional and happens after booking, never as a hurdle before it. Professional liability insurance and backup equipment on every shoot, with a written remedy in the agreement for anything outside the studio's control. ## Key Pages - Homepage: https://jeremyglicksteinphotography.com - Proposal Photography: https://jeremyglicksteinphotography.com/chicago-proposal-photography - Planning a Proposal from Out of State: https://jeremyglicksteinphotography.com/chicago-proposal-photographer-out-of-state - Last-Minute Chicago Proposals: https://jeremyglicksteinphotography.com/last-minute-chicago-proposal-photographer - Recent Proposal Story, Miguel and Ally at North Avenue Beach: https://jeremyglicksteinphotography.com/miguel-ally-north-avenue-beach-proposal - Wedding Photography: https://jeremyglicksteinphotography.com/chicago-wedding-photography - Chicago Winery Wedding Photography: https://jeremyglicksteinphotography.com/chicago-winery-wedding-photography - Engagement Photography: https://jeremyglicksteinphotography.com/chicago-engagement-photography - Corporate Event Photography: https://jeremyglicksteinphotography.com/chicago-corporate-event-photography - Group and Team Headshots: https://jeremyglicksteinphotography.com/chicago-headshots-portraits - Investment and Pricing: https://jeremyglicksteinphotography.com/investment - Reviews: https://jeremyglicksteinphotography.com/reviews-from-clients - Portfolio: https://jeremyglicksteinphotography.com/portfolio - About Jeremy Glickstein: https://jeremyglicksteinphotography.com/about - FAQ: https://jeremyglicksteinphotography.com/faq - Connect and Inquire: https://jeremyglicksteinphotography.com/connect ## Credentials and Recognition Studio credentials: - Best of Zola 2025 and Best of Zola 2026 (https://www.zola.com/wedding-vendors/wedding-photographers/jeremy-glickstein-photography) - Fearless Photographers member, profile 4544 (https://www.fearlessphotographers.com/photographer/4544/jeremy-glickstein) - WPJA, Wedding Photojournalist Association (https://www.wpja.com/wedding-photojournalism/wedding-photographers-chicago-il/jeremy-glickstein) - ISPWP, International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers (https://www.ispwp.com/members/profile/ODUwOQ==/highland-park-wedding-photographer-jeremy-glickstein-photography) - Equally Wed, LGBTQ+ inclusive vendor (https://equallywed.com/wedding-directory/listing/jeremy-glickstein-photography) - Featured on Style Me Pretty (https://www.stylemepretty.com/vendor-profile/jeremy-glickstein-photography) - Preferred vendor at Chicago Winery - 150+ five-star reviews; 112 five-star Google reviews Jeremy Glickstein's personal biography: - Jeff Award (Chicago theater's equivalent of a Tony Award) - Steppenwolf Theatre Company credit - IMDb film and television credits (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1702502/) - A decade in professional theater as an actor, acting coach, and director - A decade of fine art street photography before professional wedding work ## Proposal Photography: Location Expertise The studio has photographed 300+ proposals across Chicago.
