Millicent Wong Photography & Design

We were doing a fundraiser, and Millicent did a photo shoot for us. Everyone raved about how positive, fun, and passionate she was and how she made everyone feel comfortable. She created an environment that brought out their true personalities. I have worked with many wedding photographers, and Millicent stands out with her blend of professionalism and exuberant spirit. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a top notch photographer who will capture those meaningful moments in your life.

Millicent is an AMAZING photographer!!! She’s a master with angles and lighting and getting you exactly what you want. Romantic, playful, sweet, artsy, urban, edgy… you name it and she can do it to perfection. And I must admit I am a bit of a perfectionist, so to say the pictures I received were perfect to me is saying A LOT.
Not only does she create beautiful pictures, but she also has the sweetest personality ever and makes you feel comfortable and natural taking pictures. It rained the day we originally scheduled our engagement photos, and she was really flexible with changing to a sunnier day. That’s a huge added bonus since Chicago weather is always so unpredictable! I couldn’t have been happier with my decision to choose Millicent as our photographer. She helped capture special moments in amazing photos that we will cherish forever.

I just wanted to write a quick update on my previous review. Millicent was one of the BEST decisions we made about our wedding. I had several family members and guests approach me telling me how much they enjoyed our photographer. She was so friendly and easy… a really calming personality to have around on a hectic day. She does a great job of capturing the moment without anyone even realizing she’s there. She shows so much enthusiasm for her work… it’s so obvious that she loves what she does and it shows in her work. I will say that the only negative is that it does take some time to get the photos back after the event, but it’s totally worth it because she takes the time to individually edit them. The quality and artistry of her photos is the best!

Millicent was simply fantastic at our wedding :)
After looking at all of the finished photos, I was amazed with how Milli was able to capture all of the meaningful details and joyful moments while also incorporating her artistic style. Her photos help me paint vibrant brushstrokes of color to my already vivid memory.
From her natural ability to connect with our guests to her reassuring presence, Millicent is worthy of high praise. I highly recommend Millicent to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

My fiancé and I actually flew in from Dallas to have her do our engagement photos in Chicago (I’m a native Chicagoan). I cannot express enough my gratitude towards her and her work. The photos are SO beautiful and so «in the moment.» She’s professional and extremely dedicated to her work. We hope (if she’s not booked), to fly her down to Dallas for our wedding. You cannot go wrong by booking her. Photos are your memories. Make it last by making it unforgettable. :) LOVE Milli and her artistic views!

Milli does great work. She is fun and is very professional. Her photos are great and she is working the entire time. 12 hours of taking pictures and thinking about new and unique shots, she was on the entire time. Thanks Milli!

Chinese weddings are loooong and Millie and her 2^nd shooter worked with us from 7:30am until close to midnight but not once did she lose her smile and energy. There were also a lot of staple family portraits and she did a great job conducting us and controlled the crowd without being rude. Prior to my own wedding, i was always curious how couples come out looking so natural and wondered if I had to pose but then still try to keep a natural aura. It turned out that I didn’t even notice Milli snapping away at all the entire night but DID notice all the «key» moments she captured that not only came out very natural but also very moving. I was also delighted she provided teaser pictures for us the Monday following our Saturday wedding. Milli is one busy lady, with clients overseas and in the U. S, so book her fast and she’ll be one of your best wedding investments.

Mill has been amazing to work with. She’s an awesome photojournalist that capture many memorable moments, mom’s wiping of tears, flower girl onlooking brides curiously, grooms+groomsmen+pastor praying at the backstage etc etc. I would not have known about all these happening because honestly wedding can be a blur when you think back, but thanks to Mill who captured it all — I can now look at my wedding and fresh my memory (everyday! if I want to! ^^). She knows what’s a good angle and what are important to capture. I show my dad a picture slideshow of the teasers Mill came up with, the first couple pictures were of our wedding band and bouquet. My dad says «are you showing me a commercial slide?» That’s how good Mill was w/​using the lighting, everything just look that good in her pictures!
Mill is very accommodating too. We had a second reception 2 weeks after, and Mill was able to give us teasers/​highlights of the wedding so we can show them in our 2^nd reception. We got our pictures on time as promised, a huge plus because I’ve read online many other instances where the photographer delayed on delivery.
If you have any cultural ceremony besides saying the vows in front of the Lord, Mill has a lot of experiences in that too. Besides how good Mill is, I just love having a girl photog, you can be at ease having her taking your getting-​ready pic. ;p
Hurry up and book her before she’s booked! :)

Only about a month before my wedding, I decided that I wanted to do an engagement photoshoot. I googled ‘Chicago Engagement Photographer’ and happened upon Millie’s website,
. I was very impressed with her work, along with the work of a couple of other photographers, so I decided to inquire with several others. Millie offered the most value and quality for the money by far, so she was the obvious choice.
She and I talked over the phone to get the whole concept of what exactly we were going for. She took my ideas and helped guide me through my vision. It was a huge help, because I wasn’t exactly sure what I was looking for. The day that we were supposed to have our photoshoot, it looked like it was going to rain. Millie called me and offered to do it the next day and made it seem like it wasn’t a big deal to reschedule. She didn’t want our outdoor photoshoot to be ruined by the rain.
I wanted to take pictures in front of various Chicago landmarks, and name each of the tables at our reception after these locations. Eg: Millennium Park, Michigan Avenue, Soldier Field, Chicago Theater, etc. Take a look at some of the pictures I’ve added to the Unilocal page. I think her work speaks for itself! I told her we were in a bit of a time crunch because we wanted to use the pictures for the table cards and we also wound up using one of the pictures for the placecards/​favors as well as our photo guestbook.
I’m usually a bit camera shy, and she quickly put us at ease. She is super fun and so cute. I really enjoyed working with her. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for an engagement and wedding photographer. Too bad we found out about her only a month before the wedding!

This girl knows how to shoot. She does amazing things with light that I didn’t even know were possible. She shot our engagement photo session this past September and her pictures are defintely unique and capture dramatic angles the way only she can. You can check it out @
She has wedding packages that run from either 6 or 10 hours that each include a one hour engagement photo session along with a slideshow of the best shots and a DVD of all the images. I can’t wait for her to shoot our wedding day this April!
