We would highly recommend Roman Lorek Photography to any couple looking for a talented and dedicated wedding photography team.

George street is AMAZING! We could not be happier with them from start to finish. Our initial consultation was informative and from that day forward they were always available to answer any questions we had throughout the process. I love that they work with so many different photographers and videographers. Being able to view each persons photo style and tailoring to exactly what we wanted and envisioned was awesome. Our photographer and videographer both reached out a week before the actual wedding to ensure they had all of the details and any special requests or must have photo ops from us. The turn around time for the photos and video was quick! 1 month for the photos about 2 months for the video. Multiple friends said some of our photos should be in a wedding magazine. And the cherry on top is the pricing which is super reasonable! Absolutely would recommend George Street!

Pedro and his team did a FANTASTIC job with our wedding photos and they were an absolute joy to work with!! This started while planning for the wedding as Pedro was very flexible in setting up meetings where we discussed logistics and specific pictures we wanted captured the day of. He also recommended the Fragrance Garden at the Morton Arboretum for wedding photos, which turned out beautifully. On the day of the wedding, Pedro and his team were very thorough and captured all of the special moments of the day! They were positive, professional, and efficient in capturing photos for our large bridal party and family. Going with Albany Capture for our wedding photos was, without a doubt, one of the best decisions we made for the wedding. We also want to give a shout-out to Josh who actually captured our engagement photos and was one of the photographers on the wedding day too! He's an incredible photographer and it was quite special to have capture the entire journey!

Jay & Nicole Vega decided to pursue a career together in the art of Photography. Met & married in Chicago in 2013, two people set out on a business venture of a lifetime. While Nicole is the main photographer of the company, we have also expanded and hired reliable, talented photographers to work along side with us, while still maintaining a small business feel.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a wedding planner, I have the privilege of working with many talented professionals—but The Still Life stands out as one of the most exceptional photographers I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with. From the first email to the final image delivery, they were an absolute dream. Professional, calm under pressure, and incredibly attuned to the energy of the day, The Still Life brought a quiet confidence and refined artistic vision that made both the couple and the vendor team feel completely at ease. Their background gives their wedding work a distinctive edge—every frame feels intentional, intimate, and beautifully composed. They have an incredible ability to capture not just moments, but mood—the softness of a floral detail, the emotion in a glance, the quiet magic between all the big moments. Our couples & clients are always absolutely thrilled with the results, and the photos were nothing short of stunning. As a planner, I can also say they were a joy to work alongside: punctual, communicative, and incredibly respectful of the timeline and flow of the day. If you're a couple looking for timeless, artful imagery—or a fellow planner seeking a photographer who elevates every event they’re part of—I can’t recommend The Still Life highly enough. Truly one of the best. The Serendipity Collective Nikki M. Rodgers

The best part about what we do are the stories we get to tell. The happily-ever-afters, the love-at-first-sights…it’s the truth in a moment and a look that says it all. As Chicago area wedding photographers for over twenty years now, we’ve seen and captured just about every incarnation of true love imaginable. That’s why we approach your special day as a unique journey we take together. We walk you through every step, from proposal and engagement photos and perfectly capturing those forever wedding day moments with photography, videography, and content creation, to expertly crafting your very first family heirloom…your wedding album!

Awarded Best of Zola
TWA Photographic Artists were straightforward and direct in their communication, and kept us on schedule throughout our wedding day. Their work was great, capturing many timeless and detailed shots. However, at times they seemed a bit hurried when working with our wedding party and guests, though they remained attentive and eager to get the right shots. For example, the photographer remembered the little details that made our photos special, but we felt a bit rushed after the ceremony and didn't fully capture the joy of those moments. Overall, TWA provided solid photography services, but could have been a bit more patient and attuned to our desired pace for the day.

When looking for a wedding photographer, we were looking for several qualities… We wanted someone that has an upbeat and outgoing personality to help us and our wedding party get re-energized throughout a long day, listens and follows through with our preferences, creates high quality photos, guides us on what to do for poses, and gets creative with the different styles of photos - Audrey was exactly all of these, and so much more. We purchased the package that included engagement photos and she provided us with an extensive amount of both engagement and wedding photos. There are countless photos that take our breath away, which hasn’t made it easy to decide what photos we want to get to hang in our home. If these are the qualities you are looking for in a photographer, Audrey is your person! She also has a great team that shares similar qualities and is along her side on wedding day.

You may not know it, but you're actually not looking for a wedding photographer. After all, that is just one aspect of what we do! And I'm not a normal wedding vendor... I'm a commissionable artist and consultant to the aesthetics and atmosphere of your day with nearly 20 years of industry experience (including planning my husband and I's wedding).

Awarded Best of Zola
Lux Everlasting was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. From the moment we first spoke with Clayton, we were impressed by his kind, professional, and truly relatable personality. The quality of his work is truly stellar- it genuinely was worth every single penny for us. The photos and video footage he captured were absolutely beautiful; literally had me gasping at how perfectly our day was documented. My family loved working with Clayton too, they all complimented how much fun he was and how beautiful our photos were, and that they would find an excuse to hire him for something lol. Clayton also eased a lot of my anxiety with his calm presence, he even talked me through a difficult moment which was unexpected and greatly appreciated. We highly recommend Lux Everlasting for any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience. My husband and I absolutely adore Clayton as a professional, and also as the awesome human being that he is, and hope to be able to work with him again in the future. 10/10 experience all around. I wish I could add more than 6 photos!! I picked these to show the range of his work; candid, editing, posed, group shots, ect.

A cinematic eye. --- A bleeding heart. --- An inclusive spirit. --- I've picked up a camera just about every day since I fell in love with photography in 2013. Though every shoot holds something unique, it takes a lot to catch me off guard after a decade in business. I pride myself on my ability to quickly connect with my clients, making them feel comfortable, cared for, and confident that they look great. Being a helpful and calming presence in the midst of your wedding is second nature to me. Basically, I try to treat people how I want to be treated: with fairness and understanding!

She is so personable and easy to talk to, having pictures taken by her instantly felt like it was with someone I already knew. The turn around time on our engagement pictures was unbelievable, in a good way. I noticed something I wasn’t crazy about (too critical of myself) and she changed it right away, no questions asked. Her work with lighting is fantastic and she captured exactly what I was looking for. So incredibly grateful to be working with her.

I've been documenting weddings for 15 years! Your wedding will have so man quick and candid moments, and that's what I'm there for. The spontaneity. The honesty. The "beautiful" vs the "pretty". Hearing things like "Wow, we didn't even know that happened!" or "This is the best picture of my Grandpa I've ever seen," is what keeps me fired up year after year! I believe everyone deserves to feel welcomed, honored, and free to express their love for each other. I proudly support and celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community along with all cultural backgrounds and traditions!

As a same-sex couple, we weren't sure how different vendors would feel about working on our wedding. From the first interaction, Ryan was welcoming and inclusive - how amazing! We had an intricate wedding day with high church, a theater performance, and the traditional dinner/dancing/toasts. Ryan rolled with all the details, capturing each one. Even better? He and his assistant faded into the background ... our guests commented that they never even noticed a photographer being there, never felt blocked or intruded upon. When we got the results, our hundreds-of-photos were chock full of "how did they get THAT shot?" kinds of reactions. Amazing. Ryan's pictures are so fantastic, we would consider getting married a second time, just so we could hire him again.

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!

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.

Hiring Adam Novak was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the moment he arrived, his energy was contagious—he made everyone feel comfortable and at ease, which is no small feat when you’re wrangling a wedding party and extended family for photos. Adam has this incredible ability to capture genuine moments. He knows exactly when to step back and let things unfold naturally, and when to jump in with creative direction that brings out the best in everyone. Our photos don’t feel stiff or overly posed—they feel like *us*, and that’s exactly what we wanted. The creativity and quality of his work blew us away. When we got our gallery back, we kept saying “how did he even get that shot?” He has a true artist’s eye and the technical skill to back it up. The lighting, the composition, the way he captured little details we didn’t even notice on the day—it’s clear he really knows what he’s doing. Beyond his talent, Adam is just a genuinely fun person to have around on your wedding day. He kept the mood light, made us laugh, and somehow managed to be everywhere at once without ever feeling intrusive. If you’re looking for a photographer who will deliver stunning, creative photos while also being an absolute joy to work with, book Adam. You won’t regret it.

Hi, I'm Daniel! I'm a Chicago-based artist and photographer. I love sharing stories of love, almost as much as I love creating art - that's why I do my best to merge the two in each story I tell. While I call Chicago my home these days, I am *more* than willing to travel to your neck of the woods - just ask!

Daniel was soooo kind and thoughtful in the planning process. He met us the day before for our rehearsal dinner/vow exchange and we got these stunning photos by the lake. I’m so awkward in front of a camera but he managed give clear queues to relax us and got adventurous with some shots. On the day of our wedding, he navigated the many moving parts really well, captured the ceremony perfectly, and got great shots during the party. The sneak peek photos were great and I’m grateful he could turn them around so quickly. Overall, a great experience, a delight to work with. He’s got great packages and would hire him again!

Spoiler alert: I didn't grow up daydreaming about weddings. Instead, I grew up on shaky home videos and weathered family albums—so I know how important it is to keep memories alive. The problem? The internet is overflowing with photos that focus on trends over authenticity. That's why, in a world filled with filters + fads, I'm here to capture every real moment of your wedding day.

Six years of taking bright, colorful, fun wedding photos in the city has taught me how to deliver a complete gallery of your day told in an artistic, meaningful, and unobtrusive way--because I'm here to document your day, not to direct it. As much as I love taking photos (it's truly my favorite thing in the world!), I believe your wedding is about celebrating all your people being in the same place at the same time + kicking back and enjoying while I make sure all those memories are on camera.

We couldn't be happier with our decision to hire Alana Lindenfeld as our wedding photographer. From the moment she arrived, she brought a sense of calm and professionalism that instantly put us at ease. Alana has a true gift for capturing the essence of the moment, and her work reflects an incredible eye for detail and a deep understanding of human emotion. Our wedding photos are nothing short of breathtaking. Alana managed to capture every precious moment with such beauty and clarity, from the quiet, intimate exchanges to the grand, joyful celebrations. Her ability to find and frame the perfect shot is simply remarkable. Beyond her technical skills, Alana was a joy to work with. She was unobtrusive yet always present, ensuring she didn't miss a single important moment. Her warm personality made the entire experience enjoyable, and her dedication to her craft is evident in every photo she took. We are endlessly grateful to Alana for giving us these priceless memories that we will cherish forever. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who is not only incredibly talented but also wonderful to work with, look no further than Alana Lindenfeld.
