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

“Adam photographed both our legal wedding and our larger wedding weekend a few weeks later. Both sets of photos are spectacular. He captured the joy and fun of each occasion in a way that felt both laid-back and intentional. We came away with so many natural, unstilted shots of ourselves and our loved ones. The photos will help us relive these special days for years to come!”

Zach Caddy Photography

  • Serves Harwood Heights, IL

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
“Zach did such an incredible job shooting our city hall wedding! Having shot several similar ceremonies in the past, he was familiar with the space, knew exactly which moments to capture and where to get the best shots, and he even got there early and saved us a spot in line. After the ceremony and group shots were done, my husband and I spent an hour adventuring around the loop with Zach to take some couples shots. He has a tremendous eye for photography locations, and he captured beautiful moments of us by the riverwalk, under the L, and inside the cultural center. The entire experience felt very natural and so fun -- it was a huge highlight of the day. He got our pictures back to us at lightning speed, and they're all gorgeous. I'd recommend him to anybody. Thanks again, Zach!”

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.”

“We hired Maks and Gemma for our wedding 2 weeks ago and I couldn't have nicer things to say about them. Maks and Gemma came in and instantly clicked with our group from the beginning. They did an amazing job making our not so photogenic groom and groomsmen absolutely love taking photos on our day. They knew exactly what I had visioned for my wedding and they went absolutely above and beyond. If you are looking for photographers to get everyone energized and going Maks and Gemma are definitely your people!

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!”

Hi, I'm Ashley! A Chicago wedding photographer with a love for capturing fun-loving and adventurous couples. From the I do’s to the epic dance moves, it’s my passion to capture authentic and candid moments created and inspired by one-of-a-kind couples! My process is simple. Document your day and create a vision with you: together we’ll create a seamless day that doesn’t feel like a posed photo shoot. I am LGBTQ+ friendly and support inclusivity and diversity.

“Ashley is incredible and we cannot recommend her enough! As an LGBQT couple we were looking for someone who not only make us feel comfortable but understood posing for a same sex couple. Starting from our initial kick-off call to our engagement shoot and through our wedding day Ashley was nothing short of amazing! She made us feel at ease and like someone we had known for a lifetime. She was knowledgeable and helpful when it came to picking out a location and poses for our shoots during our engagement session and wedding day. Ashley was prompt, patient, understanding and brought a much needed sense of calm on our wedding day itself. Let's face it, weddings always have a curveball and Ashley was able to go with the flow and help my husband and I feel immediately at ease while still capturing the day. Every photo delivery we would receive, was better than the last. We thought we couldn't be happier after seeing our engagement session and then we received the photos from our wedding day. Ashley captured not only our special moments of the day but the details (flowers, table settings, bar set up, guest book set up etc.) and we couldn't be happier. Quality service, quality photos, quality across the board. At the end of the day Ashley feels like family and that's more than we could have ever asked for!”

Hi, I’m Connie—congratulations on your engagement. Thank you for being here and for considering me as your photographer. I take a thoughtful, hands-on approach and believe the experience matters just as much as the final images.

We are a proud ally of the LGBTQ+ community and happy to serve humans of every background, gender and identity.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We are huge fans of Emma! Here are 5 reasons she should also be your wedding photographer: 1. Emma is incredibly nice and was so generous with wedding organizing wisdom. She helped us feel more confident about the thousands of small details in the entire process, from our first Zoom meeting with her to the engagement photo shoot to the final shots on our wedding day 2. She is incredibly thorough as a communicator. We never had any question about what she needed or what she was doing before, during, or after the ceremony. And she was even very communicative via email with our moms(!) 3. She is so organized but also so creative. She kept our wedding day smooth by planning out all the posed shots needed, and she got all photos back to us in an always impressive timeframe. But she was also always open for a surprising shot or a little experiment. It made her work feel even more personal 4. She was a rock star on our wedding day, if you couldn’t tell. And she was a super fun hang during our engagement photo session, which featured Emma, my wife, and I improvising playful shots during a sudden rain storm(!) 5. Most of all, when she’s taking photos of you, her excitement in that moment fires you up more and makes you feel so comfortable. She makes you feel like your pictures are the best wedding photos ever taken. (But ours were, obviously)”

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.

“We're so grateful to have gotten to work with Kaitlyn for our wedding! Her prices were so affordable compared to the market in Chicago, and we were so impressed with her photography style shown in her portfolio and instagram. Her communication was so clear and responsive, which was such a relief especially considering we were planning this wedding from out of state. At our engagement shoot and at our wedding, Kaitlyn was such a joy to work with! We never felt posed or artificial, and we ended up with so many amazing photos while never feeling like we were pulled away from our wedding experience to take them. Before working with Kaitlyn, we both thought we weren't photogenic, but I've never felt more beautiful than I felt in these photos. On top of her photography skills, Kaitlyn is so fun to talk to during the shoot, and she also went above and beyond during our wedding day. My dress ended up being a bit too long and Kaitlyn immediately offered to get pins from her car and helped me pin up my dress 3 separate times so I could do my first dance without tripping over myself. We're so grateful to have worked with her at our wedding and would recommend her to anyone.”

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.

What really impressed us was how they captured every detail that made our wedding special, from the small moments to the big ones. The video they created is beautiful and so easy to access whenever we want to relive the day. It's the perfect recap of everything we felt and experienced, and honestly it's the best way to remember our favorite day forever. We can't recommend Bella Donna Studios enough.”

My goal is to preserve not just how your day looked, but how it truly felt.

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!!”

The Chicago Group is a premier wedding photography and videography company dedicated to capturing love stories with authenticity and style. Combining artistic vision with a documentary approach, we create timeless, emotional images and films that reflect the essence of each couple’s special day. With a passion for storytelling, we ensure every moment is beautifully preserved for a lifetime.

“What stood out to me most was how approachable and kind the team was. Weddings can be stressful, but they really helped me relax and actually enjoy the process. They joked with the groomsmen, helped me fix my veil at one point, and still somehow managed to stay invisible when it mattered. The photos are beyond gorgeous I actually had a hard time choosing which ones to frame because I loved them all. The video is something we’re planning to show at our one-year anniversary party because it tells the story so beautifully. My husband, who normally hates getting pictures taken, actually said he enjoyed the experience because they made it so fun. That’s saying a lot! They worked well with our other vendors and kept everything on schedule. I’ve already recommended them to two friends who are engaged. Honestly, 10/10 service and results.”
