    Gemma is amazing!

    Gemma did such a great job capturing our wedding day. Every photo feels natural and full of emotion, and she didn’t miss a single important moment. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, which really shows in how genuine the pictures turned out. We’re so grateful to have these memories captured so beautifully.

    03.28.2026 Bride

    We hired Maks and Gemma for our wedding 2 weeks ago and I couldn't have nicer things to say about them. Maks and Gemma came in and instantly clicked with our group from the beginning. They did an amazing job making our not so photogenic groom and groomsmen absolutely love taking photos on our day. They knew exactly what I had visioned for my wedding and they went absolutely above and beyond. If you are looking for photographers to get everyone energized and going Maks and Gemma are definitely your people! We will definitely be using them in the future for maternity, family, and whatever other photoshoots we can do with them. Sincerely a bride who read a million reviews on all my vendors and couldn't have been happier with all my choices. (It's still too soon for our professional photos back but here's some of Maks and Gemma doing their thing!)

    Book with Nova Photos!!

    We had an absolutely incredible experience with the Nova Photos team from start to finish. From the very beginning, they were extremely responsive and communicative, which made the entire planning process feel seamless and stress-free. One thing we really appreciated was the opportunity to speak with photographers ahead of time—it made such a difference in helping us feel confident and excited about our choice for our wedding day. Florin and Maks were truly amazing. They were not only professional and organized, but also so warm and easy to be around. They made us, our wedding party, and our guests feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. They did an incredible job bringing our vision to life while also keeping our photo time efficient and on schedule, which allowed us to fully enjoy our day. They captured every moment so naturally and beautifully, and we are already so grateful for the memories they preserved. We genuinely would book them a hundred times over. We also had the Photo Booth, which was a HUGE hit with our guests! It added such a fun and interactive element to the night, and everyone loved it. We truly cannot wait to see the final photos and relive the day all over again.

    We had the best experience with Maks and Hanan for our photo and video! From the moment we started, they created such a comfortable, fun, and relaxed environment that made everything feel so natural. They were incredibly professional, organized, and truly passionate about what they do. They captured every moment beautifully and made the whole process enjoyable from start to finish. You can tell they genuinely care about their clients and the memories they’re creating. Highly recommend Maks and Hanan if you’re looking for an amazing photo and video team — absolutely worth every penny!

    Absolutely AMAZING wedding photos

    I will truly never get over how AMAZING it was to use NOVA photos for our wedding day. I couldn’t think of anyone better to use for pictures. We were so lucky to have Maks and Gemma join us on our special day. Our guests and families loved getting to know them and their fun personalities. They captured every single moment and were extremely flexible when needed. On top of how amazing they were — we received all of our photos less than one month after the wedding!!! INSANE!!! Every single photo was absolutely beautiful. They were able to get all of the moments from the special ones to the funny ones. I love how they don’t use filters, every picture looked natural and just all around stunning. 10000/10 I recommend using NOVA photos. You will get the best experience!!
