Great and Perfect Day!

It is difficult for me to write enough positive words about the photography Adam and Ela. They are an excellent duo that understands each other without words and creates amazing pictures together. They are patient and creative. They search for beautiful locations for photographing engagement and wedding portraits in surprising moments. They were with us throughout the whole wedding day. From the early morning when we did make up and hair in the hotel, until late in the evening. Our guests were impressed by their professionalism. Amazing work. Thank you!!!

Amazing experience

My husband and I are very happy with the work Adam did during the wedding. He is friendly, full of ideas and caring about the details. The pictures are of excellent quality and the album really does impress. It is made with beautiful handcraft with excellent materials. I cannot expect more.

Adam is an excellent wedding photographer. He was recommended to me by a friend for whom a few years earlier he had "conjured up" fabulous, beautiful wedding pictures for. I was not disappointed with him. My photos were great, exactly what I like. I like his style of photography very much. I can describe it as dignified, elegant and mysterious. Beautifully illuminated photos, dramatic integrated into Chicago architecture. Our portrait session was at the University of Chicago in autumn. My friends already have contact information for Adam. A wedding is a special day in someone's life and it is really worth to hire someone special for this occasion. For me, that's what Adam was.

Choosing a photographer for your wedding is always a difficult decision. Although you make every effort, you never know whether it will meet your expectations. We had, however, a choice of Adam. He really knows what he's doing and he knows his craft well. He is competent and professional in every detail. He captured all the stages of our wedding on his photos. Starting from engagment, through preparations, ceremonies, bridal party, reception ... The pictures are beautiful and they are on a high artistic level. They are dynamic but also moody. Good job. At the very end, there was cherry on the top of cake. The wedding album. Fantastic quality, beautifully composed, fits the whole storyline. It was worth taking Adam and I would recommend him to everyone.

My husband and I were/are THRILLED that we were able to recently work with Adam to photograph a cultural event that was very significant to us and our family (similar to an engagement). We were very lucky that he was available last minute (only a couple weeks before our event). He responded promptly to our many questions prior to us officially booking him for the job, and went well out of his way to meet with us a cafe near our home to discuss details and sign the contract. We found his pricing to be more than fair, and he worked quickly to get our edited photos to us after our event.

He and his wife/assistant, Ela, arrived early the day of our event (before we did in fact!) and brought a level of expertise, energy and enthusiasm that was unmatched by any of our vendors. He worked with the banquet hall lighting very well which can be tricky, took all the photographs we asked for – posed and candid, and was up for some additional photography downtown after our event in the suburbs. The downtown locations he suggested were scenic and easy to access. The florals/greenery set up outside one area just so happened to perfectly complement my dress and resulted in the most stunning photos – some of my favorite ever, and I often am critical of photos of myself.

Adam’s eye for detail, color and composition along with his technical talent make him a truly impressive photographer. He’s also super friendly, has a sense a humor, and edited our photos more quickly than expected after our event – all great bonuses. We cannot recommend Adam highly enough and look forward to working with him for our future life events (no immediate plans for us, but I will note that his newborn photography is quite adorable)! Thank you so much again, Adam!! =)

Adam was very helpful from the very beginning. He helped create a package that was right for us and guided us through the process. On the day of our wedding, he and Ela arrived and went right to work. He took his time to get just the right shots for each pose and made sure everyone was included. Our photos turned out beautifully! We still get a ton of compliments on them.

Adam served at my wedding two years ago. I think I hit a bullseye with my choice of photographer. Photos were delivered quickly and in good quality. High artistic level and professional editing. He was always in the right place at the right time during the ceremony in the church. I like his care for lighting. We like this style of photography and we will definitely recommend Adam others.
PS. My opinion is very important - no hidden costs. He explained everything at the beginning, we made a contract, everything was made and delivered even before time and I did not have to pay even one dollar extra.
