Adam Novak Photography

Photographer

I drink a lot of coffee, and I use humor to put you at ease. I love my camera and it loves me. I can charm your grandma into smiling and maybe coax your grumpy uncle into grinning. When it’s time to take formal pictures, I’m not afraid to take charge of your rambunctious wedding party. If your dance floor is packed, and you’re riding your new husband’s back, I’ll be there to capture it (you can either thank me or make me delete it later). If you want to fly me to Korea and feed me some kimchi, while I document your wedding week, buy the ticket.

If you want to trash your dress in Chicago’s Buckingham Fountain, I’ve done it, so let’s figure something else out. To me, wedding photographs shouldn’t be a drag. It’s your party so keep the good times rolling, it’ll show in the pictures. But If you dislike posing, I can always quietly document the tears from the sidelines. Read more

    We were fortunate to book Adam a month before our wedding after the photographer we originally hired cancelled. We couldn't have been luckier to have found him. Adam is easygoing and fun to work with. We absolutely loved the experience and the the results. Our pictures were beautiful!

    I could not be happier with my experience with Adam Novak. During our first meeting, I immediately knew he was the photographer for us. You can tell he really loves what he does and has a great eye. Our wedding day went perfectly. A few days before we had to scrap our plan because the weather wasn't going to be as nice as we hoped. Adam immediately had a list of back up ideas, and they ended up being even better than our original plan. We had so much fun taking our first look and wedding party photos at a few locations around the city. Adam and his assistant were so friendly and made everyone feel comfortable. ...

    Adam Novak was beyond excellent. His photography work was amazing. He was ontime and followed up with everything promised. He delivered the finished product on time. The finished product was extremely good. I would definitely book Adam.

    So before you read this review, do yourself a favor and email Adam to see if he's available for your day and if so, definitely set up a meeting with him. If you are anything like me, you are going through millions of reviews for a wedding photographer for your big day. I know because finding a great photographer in Chicago was a top priority for our May 2013 Wedding. Luckily we found Adam Novak and we couldn't have been happier. He's easy going, relaxed, and knows exactly what to do and where to be to capture the essence of your day as you want it. I met with a lot of photographers and beyond the scope of the contract (ie owning the rights to your pictures which is soooo important), what you need to keep in mind is that your photographer is going to be with you for the duration of your big day. So while talent and price are important, it's probably just as or more important to feel comfortable with him or her. ...

    I used Adam for my wedding in July and was so happy that I did! From the first meeting I had with him, I connected with him, with his great personality, I knew that he would be great for my wedding day. Adam was able to get everyone to relax the day of the wedding and take excellent pictures. Adam and his assistant took so many pictures that when we received all of our pictures it was so hard to decide on which pictures we wanted. All the photos turned out amazing, my husband and I were so thrilled with how they all turned out. ...
