Nova Photos did an incredible job at capturing our wedding day! Our coordinator made sure to ask for thorough details and asked us many questions to ensure our day came out smooth. Our photographer was Florin and he was amazing!!! Attentive, respectful, honest and personable. He made our experience so easy and we did not worry about capturing every important morning of our day. He posed us in creative ways while also taking traditional shots, made sure we had enough photos with everyone we wanted to take it with (we had a group of friends/family with us), and he made suggestions that we ended up loving as far as location/poses. The quality of the photos is very clear and high quality! We enjoyed the filters and editing that was done as well; it was not overdone. Overall, I recommend hiring Nova Photos if you want a seamless, thoughtful and thorough experience on your wedding day. Thank you!

We had a mostly DIY friend set up wedding so all her experience and advice was greatly appreciated--I even heard she helped light tea candles when my friends were in a pinch.

Kate was one of our favorite vendors and a pretty important one as our wedding day photographer! We had a great experience with her at both our engagement photo shoot and on our wedding day. I also met with her a few times for consulting/advice on our timeline before the big day, which was SO helpful. Kate makes you feel comfortable and natural while she is behind the camera making the magic happen! She is so kind and has such a calming presence, yet keeps everything moving and on schedule. Kate makes sure to get all of your preferred photos, from detail shots to group shots and the moments in between. We absolutely love our sneak peek shots and are so excited to get our full gallery and physical photos! I highly recommend Kate for your wedding, she gets it done beautifully and you won't be disappointed. Best decision we made :)

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Mae is an incredible photographer to work with. She is professional, meticulous, and has great energy. We booked her to photograph our engagement party and she was very easy to work with the entire time, not to mention she kept the party on track and made sure to get all the shots we wanted. Mae perfectly captured the vibe I wanted for the party which was candid, dynamic, and fun, in both digital and film. She is highly skilled and had a quick turnaround for the pictures too. Would definitely book again!

Hi there! I'm Emily Rose, the sole photographer + editor of your wedding photos! I have been shooting weddings for a decade and love connecting with my clients as much as I love photographing them! They feel like close friends by the end of the day. I am documentary-style, in that I never stop shooting. While I help with posing during portrait sessions to make sure you look your best, I also love capturing the laughter of guests, the teary-eyed parents, the flower girl running up to you and hugging you at first sight, the tiny details, the real smiles you share with your spouse + the quiet, intimate moments between you two throughout the day.

We had booked Emily for our engagement and wedding photos and boy are we glad we did. Emily was easy to work with and flexible for our engagement shoot since we had to move it around for weather purposes (gotta love spring in the Midwest). Emily shot some gorgeous moments with our pups in between showers! We had 2 photographers for the day of, Emily and Brigid. I am so glad to have both to capture both me and my husband getting ready. Brigid is also a professional dress/veil tosser lol! Got so many compliments on our photos cannot recommend enough.
