About Instant Photo Chicago

Instant Photo Chicago

Film Photographer

Owner and photographer Mark Hawk combines a background in portraiture and fine art with a love for candid, in-between moments. Blending seamlessly into your celebration, he roams your cocktail hour and reception capturing genuine laughter, dance floor chaos, quiet hugs, and everything in between. The result feels nostalgic, personal, and completely different from a traditional photo booth. Designed to complement your primary photographer, Instant Photo Chicago elevates the atmosphere while giving guests a keepsake they’ll actually keep. It’s a modern wedding experience built around the magic of analog.

Instant Photo Chicago was created for couples who want something more dynamic than a backdrop and a line. Instead of pulling guests away from the party, this experience moves with it. By the end of the night, instead of waiting weeks for memories to arrive, couples leave with a tangible wedding album already filled with moments from their day.

In three words: Flexible, Fun, Thoughtful

    We hired Mark for our wedding in September 2025 and he truly went above and beyond! He showed up early and made sure to get aesthetic detailed shots for our polaroid album. He also did a great job of handing out photos to our guests to have a keepsake to take home. This was on top of having such a fun polaroid album for us to take home at the end of the night! This was such a fun thing to have at our wedding instead of the traditional photo booths. He also reached out to us after our services had already been completed and we got our photos scanned to be able to share them online and saved digitally! It was such a nice gesture to make this service even more valuable - I seriously cannot recommend Mark enough for his services!! 10/10!!!

  • So much fun!

    Instant Photo Chicago was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. Their communication was easy, quick, and straightforward throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was truly priceless - the photo album we received at the end of the night was so lovely, and our guests loved getting to see the photos develop right on the dancefloor. The instant photos were such a fun and unique addition that really captured the energy and joy of our celebration. We highly recommend Instant Photo Chicago to any couple looking for an amazing wedding experience.
