WHY CHOOSE US

Experience

We don’t take experience lightly here at LakeShore Photography and Video.  It’s taken us two decades to get where we are today, and we understand that success takes time to create.  Owner Jimmy Fishbein has personally created and trained his team to make sure your wedding gets the personal touch and detail that it deserves.

Professionalism

Professionalism to us means to keep in mind every little detail that helps create a successful wedding day.  From blending in quietly and respectfully, to communicating efficiently with our personal headsets, to not missing a moment, our professionalism will become immediately apparent from your first contact with us right up until you receive your final images and video.

Jimmy

Owner

Jimmy Fishbein, owner of LakeShore Photography and Video, has been creating images for over 20 years. His passion for photography started in his first year of college. When he picked up a camera for the first time, the magic of creating the image is what first drew Jimmy to the art of photography. It was at that point that he decided that this was going to be his career.

Jimmy left the University of Cincinnati for Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, CA. During his tenure at Brooks, he learned the true fundamentals, made lifelong friends, and gained the experience and knowledge to take him to his next journey in the photography field. Upon graduating from Brooks, Jimmy moved to New York City to take his photography to the next level. It was here that his learning curve expanded greatly which enabled him to work with some of the best and most well-known photographers and their clients in New York.

Today, Jimmy is currently living in the West Loop of Chicago and married to his beautiful wife, Christine, where they enjoy taking their puppy to the dog park and spending their summers in upper Michigan. Jimmy started LakeShore Photography and Video based on wanting to provide people with photography that captures the essence and all of the details of their special day. Jimmy wants to provide the same high level of service in creating professional photography for every wedding he captures as if it were his own.
