    Excellent Photographer!

    Adrian was so helpful and very easy to work with! He was very responsive and flexible and priced well. The photos were nice and thoughtful and he got a wonderful mix of candid shots and posed shots. He is a pro. He does not need you to hold his hand or tell him what to do. He takes action and initiate and throws himself right into the event to be so helpful and smooth! He is very quick to upload the photos after the event and he makes it easy to access them and to share them and print them. Would highly recommend to any bride/groom!

    We love our photos!

    Adrian & team captured a great variety of both posed and candid pictures for our wedding! He worked closely with us to capture all the pictures we wanted with friends and family, and we're very happy with how they turned out.

    a part of the family!

    Adrian was wonderful to work with from the very beginning. He was the photographer at my brother's wedding, and I had to invite him back when it was my turn :)! He captures sweet, fun, funny, hidden moments throughout the night -- and loves what he does. If you want someone who has as much fun as your friends and family, while helping you remember the night forever, Adrian is your guy! Thank you, Adrian.

    Flexible and Fun Photographer!

    Adrian was a great photographer for our special day! He made sure to meet us several times prior to the wedding to be sure that our plans and concerns were addressed. He also took the time to go to the venue the week prior to the wedding to get an idea on the building, lighting and best camera angles. On the day of the wedding he had an additional photographer with him so there were ample photos capturing a wide range of angles, emotions and memories! The final photos were great and exactly what we wanted. We highly recommend his services!

    Extremely professional

    Our experience with Adrian was beyond memorable! He is professional, funny, easy to talk to, accommodating! We have only used Adrian for 13 years; he captured our wedding, our anniversaries, our children’s baptisms, and yearly family photos! He is part of our family!

    Mr. Radu Fega

    My experience with Adrian Nastase Photography was great. He was very professional on time with all the details and I really like the fact that he insisted on the little details on each picture taken.

    I noticed that attention to detail on post- production, when Adrian was editing the pictures.

    In my opinion a great photographer have to have that attention to details, otherwise you’re just average.

    Also the highest level of quality of his equipment makes a difference. He can take all these amazing pictures also because he have the means to do it. That’s very important as well and you can’t do without it.

    My wedding was a great experience and Adrain and his crew only made it better.

    I highly recommend Adrian Nastase for his work and not just wedding but any work in professional photography.

    A Must for any occasion

    Adrian is an amazing, talented photographer.
    He has photographed birthdays, weddings & baby shower pictures for me. I could not desire any other photographer to capture my monumental life moments.

    More than excellent- Magnificent!!!

    For our Fall wedding in 2005, we sought a photographer who was skilled in the photojournalist approach to photography- someone that would not bore us with cliched postures and over exposed poses, but would use their artistic powers to capture the images and experiences of our wedding that would help us to relish the moments of the most important day of our lives.

    We were not disappointed. In fact, we could not have known that, through Adrian, we had entrusted our wedding photos to one of the most creative and talented photographers in the Chicago metropolitan area. His interactions with us before the event would be a prelude to the quality of the end product. He met with the wedding party prior to the wedding, to coordinate his activities with us and to learn a little about us. He listened to us attentively. For our morning wedding, Adrian arrived early, and from the time of his arrival until the end of the day, he became both omnipresent and invisible, subtly capturing scenes from all aspects of the wedding.

    From preparation, ceremony to reception, he was very effective at being present at every memorable moment, yet was completely unobtrusive. Neither we nor anyone else present at the celebration could believe how hard this man was working. Adrian made sure to go to great lengths to capture the perfect photo, even going so far as receiving a parking citation from one of Chicago's Finest for double parking to capture a great shot.

    During the reception, he literally "danced" the camera with us to capture the dance floor activities of the celebration. After the ceremony, relatives and friends would consistently say three things to us consistently- the wedding was really nice; the food was really good; and that photographer worked his butt off

    To say that the photos were excellent does not do them justice. They were more than that- they were beautiful; they were fascinating; Perhaps most, they captured the moments of our wedding in a way that only Adrian's creative mind's eye ever could. As we shared the photos with others, at least two other attendees immediately contacted Adrian and subsequently contracted with him to cover their wedding. Adrian's talents in photography were more than we could have ever expected, and were truly a blessing on our wedding.

    The best photographer

    No better photographer to capture the moment than Adrian Nastase. We are extremely happy with our photographs and wouldn't change a thing. He is creative and has an eye for unique moments. We would recommend him to anyone, for any event.

    Best photographer

    Adrian was our photographer at our wedding and our daughter's baptism. I have no words to describe how happy we are with him. He is very reliable, professional, fun and it makes you feel very comfortable in front of the camera and also catches your best angle. He is very detail oriented and very easy to comunicate with.

    Above and beyond! Always there to capture the most important moments!

    I’ve hired Adrian for our wedding, then our daughter’s baptism, baby shower, family photos, studio shots, and now again for our son’s baptism. Anyone can take pictures but not anyone knows quality photography, how to capture the emotion in those unique moments. That’s why to me, Adrian is the best at what he does.

    He's really getting a natural smile and laugh from you. Very flexible and experienced

    We so loved to work with Adrian. My husband, the groom is not a very smiley person, he struggles when he needs to look natural and have a large smile on his face. but Adrian has this talent to make you laugh and so friendly and sociable with people around. everyone feels relaxed and natural around him. he's having good jokes and make you laugh, paying in the same time attention to those moments when you are just idle and just landed from the sky above. That's what I felt and saw in my pictures after. he is fast and adaptive in the environment, we saw him up the balcony in a sec and down the isle the next. So happy we chose him to spend this special day with us. We highly recommended him to our friends with children, seeing how amazing and natural was around them at our wedding.

    Couldn't be more satisfied with Adrian's work!

    I met Adrian as a groomsmen in my step sister's wedding. He was fun, lively, and personable. I knew right away I wanted him to do my wedding.

    Throughout the planning process, Adrian was quick to reply to questions and willing to work with us as we sorted out details. We decided to do a destination wedding but that didn't stop Adrian.

    The day of the ceremony is stressful enough just getting organized, and guests situated. Adrian was the one person I didn't stress about. He as there early and ready to go. The venue we were at provided a photographer but he only covered the ceremony and immediately after. Adrian, was there, for the ceremony, through the reception and with us for wondering hike down the Las Vegas strip for the after party.

    At the end of it all, the venue gave us 12 photos with the option to buy more. With Adrian, we got over 900 beautiful photos spanning the entire event. All in all, Adrian was a pleasure to work with. His rates are more then fair, they are shockingly to hear. My wife help plan her sister's wedding. We paid about the same as she did but we had a destination wedding, got the entire event photographed, and a photographer who was fun and added to the event by being there.

    We could not be happier with how the photos turned out. There are quite a bit that really makes us wonder how Adrian was able to get the shots or series of shots.

    Hire Adrian to do your wedding, you won't regret it.

    Wedding pictures

    Adrian is one of the most patient people I have met, which helped us have a great experience during such a chaotic day! His pictures are genuine, beautiful and vivid. He’s helped us put together the final shots, touches and album by giving us the best advice. He made us feel like our wedding was truly the most important day of our lives.

    Adrian was the best. He made everything so easy. He was so friendly to my wedding guest and took awesome pictures. Adrian is very fairly priced and I even referred him to another person as he was referred to me. Adrian is not only a great photographer, but a great person. I consider him a friend. Thanks again Adrian.

    Amazing photographer

    Adrian is such an amazing photographer, with absolute 100% effort and attention to detail and accommodated every request I had, some of which I honestly didn’t think were possible but he made them happen! (Adrian went over and beyond to accomendate our crazy schedule since we’re from out of town. ) I really liked his photography style when I first saw his portfolio but our photos turned out beyond perfect (with a n extremely fast turnaround)

    100% recommend Adrian to anyone looking for the wedding photos that are not cliche magazines cover photos. For a photography school trained photographer who enjoys what he does, my review doesn’t give him enough credit for he puts most of his effort on shooting photos instead of advertising.

    STAY AWAY!!! Suing for Fraud.

    STAY AWAY! I am currently suing Adrian Nastase Photography for FRAUD as he has yet to deliver a wedding album which was paid for.

    You can find details regarding the case via the Cook County Circuit Court website and look up Civil Case #2019-M1-111782.

    This isn't even a legitimate business anymore as if you look on the Secretary of State website and reference File# 62101679, the company has been dissolved since 2015.

    I'm here just to state the facts, and to warn others not to consider him for your wedding needs.
