Adam Novak Weddings 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Brookfield, IL

Being a wedding photographer, I am lucky to be granted front row seats to the most loving moments in life; period. Guests and your loved ones will fly in, hopefully comb their hair and dress to impress; shower you with hugs and kisses. Grandparents will watch and remember and smile with their eyes. Tears will be shed, tight hugs will temporarily stop time and most of these details will inevitably fade from memory... until a couple of weeks after your wedding day, when those defining moments will be lovingly delivered, but this time as a visual storyline... timeless photographs... nostalgia relived.

“We loved having Adam as our photographer at our micro wedding at the Ritz Carlton! He’s extremely talented at bringing the event to life. He’s great at getting natural photos that capture the beauty of the surroundings, both outdoors and within the venue. Our best photos were spontaneously taken, with Adam’s great eye for angles. He brings a genuine artistry and warmth to his craft. Adam is absolutely fun to work with! It was easy to build a friendship with him and as a nervous bride he put us at ease right away. We would work with him again in a heartbeat!”

“George Street answered my wedding day prayers! As a NYC bride I instantly got sticker shock with the starting prices of NY based wedding photography (that didn’t even include videography). I searched high and low for something more affordable, however I wasn’t willing to sacrifice quality as wedding photography was a top priority for the big day. My dreams came true when I found George Street as they had reasonable prices and a wide variety of local talent. George Street let me view the portfolios of several photographers, they all had stunning photojournalistic style photos. We ultimately selected our photographer who ended up taking the most gorgeous and sentimental photos. Our album is stunning and George Street finished editing the photos so much faster than quoted. The videography team was also extremely professional and talented. We managed to get a social teaser, highlight reel, and full length feature video from George Street. We cherish all moments captured by George Street! Our entire team was easy to work with. Our wedding was on a military base which required some extra documentation and George Street came through with ease. We are extremely appreciative of George Street’s services and cannot recommend them highly enough especially to fellow NYC brides and grooms!”

You're not just hiring a photographer—you're gaining a creative partner who’s with you from “yes” to “I do.” I’m Pedro, Creative Director of Albany Capture, and for over 12 years I’ve been documenting love stories through a style that blends photojournalism with fine art. Weddings are more than just events—they're a celebration of connection, and I’m passionate about preserving the real, fleeting moments that make your day unforgettable. To ensure we provide dedicated time and personalized recommendations for your wedding photography and videography needs, we now offer in-depth consultations for a nominal fee of $50.

“Working with Pedro and his team at Albany Capture Film & Photography Studios was a game-changer for our wedding. From the moment we booked them for our engagement session and saw those photos, we knew we made the right choice. After the engagement session, we ended up hiring Pedro for all of our bridal events! The bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, and full 12-hour wedding day, we had Pedro and his team there for them all! Pedro and the entire team showed up ready to work hard and have fun—they were smiling the whole time, even after 12 hours on their feet. The second photographer was especially great at making my husband and his groomsmen feel at ease during their getting-ready photos. We also hired a videographer and content creator through Albany Capture and our experience with them was also great! We have not seen the video yet, but I was sent hundreds of little videos from the content creator just 2 days after the wedding along with 2 recap videos. If anyone is on the fence about hiring a content creator, just do it!!! Its the best way to see content quickly while you are still on the wedding high. We so enjoyed watching the videos while on our mini moon. What really impressed us was how quickly Pedro turned around a handful of sneak peek photos just days after the wedding, and they're absolutely stunning. Pedro was just really great throughout the entire process and I am so glad we hired him. We can't wait to see the rest of the photos and would definitely recommend them to any couple looking for photographers who are responsive, professional, and genuinely fun to be around.”

My name is Kate Scott Daly, and I can't wait to meet you! I'm a Chicago native and have been a professional photographer for nearly a decade. I am obsessed with capturing the perfect moment that will make you gasp and say "Oh my god, this is amazing!" Being a queer woman, it is so important to me that you feel safe, loved, and beautiful every step of the way. If you're looking for someone you can relax with and just be yourself, you've found me! Let's face it: it can be awkward being in front of a camera. Even I feel nervous sometimes! I understand that anxiety and will do everything I can to make you feel fabulous!

“We cannot recommend Kate enough! From the moment we met her, she made us feel completely comfortable and celebrated our love with so much enthusiasm. As a queer couple, it was important for us to work with someone who not only respected but truly celebrated queer weddings, and Kate went above and beyond. She took the time to help us clarify our vision for our wedding photos, which was especially helpful since we only had 6 weeks to plan our wedding and felt a little overwhelmed by the process. She was a great guide and we immediately knew we were in good hands! Kate’s associate Ryan shot the photos on our wedding day and they captured every special moment—from the big emotional vows to the smallest, most intimate glances—with such artistry and care. The photos are breathtaking, full of life, and truly reflect the joy of our day. Right when Ryan arrived, they jumped in with capturing photos of small details and worked to capture everything we wanted for our special day. Kate and Ryan were both an absolute delight to work with—professional, fun, and incredibly talented. If you're looking for a photographer who will make you feel seen, respected, and celebrated while delivering stunning photos, look no further. We are beyond grateful for Kate and Ryan and will cherish these photos forever! Thank you for making our wedding memories so magical!”

“We loved working with Samuel for our wedding and engagement shoot! We don’t really love taking photos and are not comfortable in front of the camera, but Samuel was so reassuring and made us feel comfortable. We were surprised at how much fun we had at the engagement shoot, and the photos turned out so beautifully! Samuel has an ability to capture very unique and real shots, they don’t feel posed, they capture natural moments which we loved.   Not only are they beautiful, but he really captured everything about the event, from beginning to end!   And I am not sure how he captured everything because I don't really remember seeing him, it's like he was everywhere, but yet invisible. We are really happy with the way the wedding photos turned out, and so glad we have them as memories of our wonderful event. Also, Samuel is just a fun, cool guy and really great to be around.

I was that kid enchanted by Disney Princess movies and the idea of "true love". My true love revealed itself through photography. At 8, I grabbed my dad's camera and was hooked, thrilled to show people my world. I started with zoo animals, friends, and siblings, eager to freeze moments in time. As I grew, I learned from local photographers and knew by 17 that photography was my calling. Since then, I’ve captured love in all its forms: couples, new parents, best friends, and the joy of seeing your favorite band live. The world is full of magical firsts, and I'm honored to capture these moments forever.

“Kaitlyn and her husband are just absolutely amazing. My husband and I are not the most used to being photographed, and they completely take the awkwardness out of it. In the moments where it was harder for us to be “candid”, they helped us by giving us prompt type things to follow and it helped so much! Kaitlyn and Jake are both so kind, down to earth, and talented, and were so helpful outside of photography needs throughout the day as well! Jake helped my husband and his groomsmen figure out how to work their cufflinks, and she helped myself, my mother, and my maid of honor button my dress. Kaitlyn did our engagement photos as well, and we already have another appointment booked! We’ll work with her forever if we can.”

We loved the pictures he had taken of other events, and how well he captured the candid moments and little expressions that really made the people shine, and he truly delivered for our event! We couldn't be more pleased with how great the photos turned out, with Tim grabbing moments that we hadn't thought were special at the time but ended up being some of the highlights of the day. He was incredibly communicative and proactive, and always responsive and open to ideas we had. We're so thrilled, and will definitely be working with him again for any family photos we might need in the future!”

“From the moment we booked JNA Visuals, Jayde and her team were a dream to work with. Their communication was always quick, attentive and thoughtful, putting us at ease throughout the planning process. On the day of our wedding, Jayde and her second shooter made me feel beautiful and comfortable in front of the camera, even though I'm a bit shy being the center of attention. They expertly captured all the special moments. The final photos were truly stunning - creative, unique, and beyond anything we could have imagined. We are more than thrilled - thanks so much Jayde!!”

Hi, I'm Lisa, the photographer behind Such A Photo. I specialize in surprise proposals, engagements, courthouse ceremonies, intimate weddings, and heartfelt family moments throughout Chicago. My photography is natural, documentary-inspired, and focused on genuine emotion rather than stiff posing. I believe the best photographs happen when you feel comfortable enough to simply be yourselves. From planning the perfect proposal to helping you choose the right location and light, I'm here to make the experience feel easy, relaxed, and unforgettable. My goal is to preserve not just how your day looked, but how it truly felt.

  • Editorial style
  • Serves Brookfield, IL

For the wild, in love. Chicago-based love story + portrait photographers with a passion for creative experimentation. We use both modern digital & vintage film cameras to create imagery that is timeless in character & emotion. Always down to travel – there's no denying the breathtaking beauty of places like the Pacific Northwest, but even a small patch of wildflowers in a midwest backyard holds its own charm. From botanical gardens & private estates to small dive bars & industrial lofts ~ wherever we find ourselves, you can trust that we'll artfully capture what will become your cherished memories.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We absolutely LOVE Mariah and King & Opal! From the start, Mariah was wonderful to work with. Not only is she responsive, organized, and reliable, but her creative eye and photography skills are unmatched! We are beyond thrilled with all the photos we received from our wedding weekend, including candid, detail-oriented shots that really captured the feeling, mood, and ambiance of it all. We cannot recommend Mariah and King & Opal enough. Best decision we made!”
