    Seriously - where do I even begin? From the moment I contacted Marianne and Andrew, they were nothing but amazing. Andrew and Marianne are something special. They're genuine, kind, and such fun people. I honestly could not dream up a better team to work with. We did photography and videography through Nicodem Creative. My now husband and I met them for the first time to take our engagement photos in Lincoln Park and we had never taken professional photos together (or at all), so we were a little bit nervous. From the moment we met the Nicodems, they brought us a sense of comfort and ease. We've never felt more at home with people we had just met minutes prior. Taking the engagement photos was such a breeze and an absolute blast. The Nicodems traveled with us to Zion National Park in Utah and were so fun, professional, and an absolute treat to share our wedding day/week with. They honestly felt like a part of our family. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for so amazingly documenting our perfect day. There aren't enough words to explain how grateful we are for Marianne and Andrew

    Hiring Andrew and Marianne was one of the best decisions we made during the planning process. Their professionalism, their talent, and their energy made our wedding day special and unforgettable. Andrew and Marianne exude professionalism. They scouted out our location ahead of time so during our shoot they knew exactly where to place us for the best light and most comfortable conditions. They kept an eye on time to make sure we were on schedule. They knew when to pose us for certain shots, and knew when to let us do our thing and capture the moment as it happened. What makes them professional is not this laundry list of items, but how they make you feel comfortable and relaxed while they execute what you hired them to do. They don't show an ounce of anxiety or stress, they are laughing and smiling the entire day, and on your wedding day, a day fraught with potential missteps, this is more appreciated than any other day. They day could have felt monotonous posing for so many photos, but instead it felt like hanging out with our friends. Secondly, their talent is remarkable. They have delivered so many beautiful images to us that it has taken multiple viewings to pare it down to our favorite couple hundred! They captured everything we wanted and moments we weren't able to witness. It felt like reliving our day through someone else's perspective and brought tears to our eyes. Not only are they talented but they inspire us to be better people ourselves. As they day progressed for us, we could see the love they have for each other as husband and wife. Seeing a married couple work together so seamlessly on your wedding day is uplifting and encouraging. They understand marriage and they can anticipate the photos you want from your day as they have lived through it themselves. Andrew and Marianne are one of the reasons our wedding day was such a success. They are professional, talented, and one of the most loving, kind-hearted couples you will ever meet. We are better for knowing them and cannot recommend them enough for your upcoming nuptials. -Alex & Nina

    We have SO much love for Andrew and Marianne. We reached out to them right after we got engaged - not typically the order in which people secure vendors, but we knew we really wanted them to capture our wedding day. From the minute we sent our first e-mail, they were so awesome and continued to be extremely thoughtful and supportive throughout our engagement. I remember how nervous Peter and I were before our engagement shoot - there was torrential downpour which led to a last-minute location change and, at the root of it, we were feeling apprehensive about having professional photos taken! As soon as we got there, Marianne and Andrew immediately shifted our mood and made us feel so comfortable. They are beyond talented and have a way of capturing BEAUTIFUL photos all while making you feel like you're just hanging out with friends. This is the feeling you want (and need!) on your wedding day - trust me! These two captured such gorgeous photos at both our engagement shoot and wedding - ones we will cherish for a lifetime. The images are natural, timeless and so clearly represent us and our loved ones. We really can't say enough about them and their work!

    Nicodem Creative provided engagement photography, and wedding photography & videography for our small wedding in March 2015. After interviewing other local vendors, we chose Nicodem Creative based on their high quality portfolio of work, diverse skills, competitive and fair pricing, and personal compatibility. Needless to say we had high expectations and without a doubt they exceeded them! They captured precious moments and emotions expressed by ourselves and our wedding guests! Nicodem Creative is a team that anyone can feel comfortable with. They have a professional attitude and clear effective communication, which makes them easy to work with. So grateful we have amazing photos and video to cherish for a lifetime!

    Can't say enough great things about Nicodem Creative. Our wedding photos are stunning. I was recently trying to narrow down which ones we wanted to print / put in photo books and it's impossible because each one is as gorgeous as the next! They did a great job of capturing the day including all of the big moments and the little ones. They are fantastic at utilizing whatever light / location they have to work with and finding just the right angles and backgrounds to make for beautiful photos. Every photo is crisp and professional. One of our favorite wedding vendors we booked for sure! Photography was one vendor I was serious about finding just the right one and I'm so glad we went with Nicodem Creative!

    Short version: You want to meet these people. Full review: I've procrastinated writing this review. You know why? Because I'm a terrible salesperson and yet ALL I want to do is go door to door and explain to people why they should be booking Nicodem for all life events they want truly captured forever. I wouldn't even need to speak, just show these beautiful and honestly real pictures of one of the happiest days I'm my life. First- they take the time to get to know you! It wasn't just "so how did you meet?" (It was that too, because who doesn't like sharing that part?) but spent that extra time to learn about our lives and interests. They stayed in touch through the wedding planning process. They worked wonderfully with our planner. Any question I had? They either had the answer or could give us advice to decide it for ourselves. On our actual wedding day? There aren't words. I think at least half the wedding guests have told us how lovely they were to have around. We didn't feel watched, but instead often forgot we even were being photographed! They set clear expectations for when we'd receive our images and while waiting is the hardest part I'm so happy I did. The images are exactly right- they bring back the feeling of those specific moments (all 900+ of them!!). I feel beautiful, and I don't always love pictures of me. My one regret and advice to you- don't forget to ask for a picture WITH THEM! I can't believe I didn't ask for one, and wish I had. That's literally my only regret. I'm not going to tell you to rush to book them right away- but you should meet with them. Look at their work. Let it speak to you, because it does to me.

    We LOVED having Marianne and Andrew capture our special day. They're wonderful to work with, great at communicating, and truly wonderful people. I love our pictures more and more every time I look at them and I think they did such a great job of capturing us and our special day. We would recommend them to anyone. Thanks again for being so great to work with and being a part of our wedding day!

    One thing nobody ever tells you while planning a wedding is how much your photographers shape the day of your wedding. During the planning phase, I found myself "checking things off the list" as quickly as possible. After our first conversation with Marianne, we knew it was a perfect match- they were laid back and extremely talented- so we were happy to choose them and move onto the next thing on our list. As I look back at our wedding in December, I could not have imagined that day without them. First of all, they are the cutest couple- obviously very in love with each other - and feed off each other in the best way possible. Marianne leads the way and Andrew follows but adds his own artistic angle. They were both very patient with our large wedding party and kept us on track time wise throughout the day. Everyone in our wedding party loved them. We received our pictures rather quickly and we were blown away. They are absolutely AMAZING and the best quality. We highlyyyy recommend Nicodem, I promise you it is the easiest decision you can make during the planning process!

    We absolutely LOVED working with Marianne & Andrew of Nicodem Creative -- their talents/expertise of capturing moments of our "celebration of family & love" not only met but exceeded our expectations for wedding photography. They are kindhearted, thoughtful, and generous small surprises/gifts along the way!) We didn't plan to do formal 'engagement' photos but it ended up being a great way to get to know them and for them to get to know us & our style & our ways of being together. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

    Andrew and Marianne Nicodem are absolutely incredible photographers. Not only did they manage to capture our wedding day beautifully, but they also played a huge role in making our day so special. They suggested amazing places to take photos, held onto items for us as we romped around Chicago, and were so kind to our wedding party. I can't even count how many people said they wanted to use the Nicodem's for their own wedding. They work so well together, and they were complete professionals during the whole process. They even worked out a very last minute engagement session for us, it was so late notice! The pictures they got of my husband and I running on the beach captured the two of us to the core. They also got our photos back to us incredible fast. We will definitely use them for any life events and will always recommend them to others :)

It felt out of my comfort zone, something I had never done before. But after hearing from friends that I might regret not capturing this moment, I decided to start searching for a photographer. I came across many different artists online, but Sri's portfolio immediately stood out. His photography style is artistic, natural, and unique--nothing felt overly posed or awkward. I was already approaching my third trimester, so time was limited. Thankfully, Sri responded quickly and guided me through the entire process. He explained what to bring, what to expect, and assured me that most of the wardrobe and accessories would be available at the studio. We scheduled the shoot two weeks later with Sri and his talented makeup artist, Laura. When I arrived, I was nervous and unsure, but those feelings quickly disappeared. Both Sri and Laura made me feel completely at ease. Laura styled my hair into soft waves and gave my skin a beautiful, radiant glow, while Sri patiently walked me through the session step-by-step. Sri has an incredible eye for detail and a clear passion for his craft. He was attentive, energetic, and never rushed the process. Even when I needed time to find the right pose, he remained patient and encouraging, always focused on capturing the perfect shot. The final photos exceeded all my expectations--they are stunning and filled with emotion. I'm so grateful I stepped out of my comfort zone and trusted Sri with this experience. He even made sure I had a beautifully edited photo ready in time for my baby shower just one week later. This photoshoot has become one of the most meaningful memories of my pregnancy, and I wholeheartedly recommend Sri to anyone looking for a photographer. He not only incredibly talented but also kind, professional, and deeply passionate about what he does.

She hadn't planned on doing a shoot for herself and I wanted to make sure she had something beautiful to look back on to remember the moment. It was important to find someone who would make her feel comfortable while also delivering truly stunning maternity pictures-- and Sri exceeded all expectations. From my first call with him, Sri was warm, professional, and incredibly straightforward about pricing, deliverables, and the entire process. He made everything seamless, even arranging hair and makeup. When I introduced Sri to my sister, he was just as kind and reassuring, which instantly put her at ease. The maternity photo shoot itself was an amazing experience. Sri's studio is in a great location and offers the privacy that was important for my sister to feel relaxed. Throughout the session, Sri brought great energy and took the time to understand how my sister wanted to see herself in the photos. His expertise in artistic photography really came through-- his use of light is masterful, creating simple yet powerful images that perfectly capture this special moment. I found Sri by searching online for photographers in Chicago, and I'm so grateful I did. If you're looking for a talented, professional, and thoughtful Chicago maternity photographer, Sri is the one to book!

She had a ton of great suggestions that were even better than what I had planned. Emily got some great candid shots of me proposing to my girlfriend, and then we went on a photo shoot around Chicago. After the proposal Emily was great at making sure that we stuck to our schedule, checking and giving us suggestions to make sure the photos looked well, and capturing great light and backgrounds across the city. Emily got us our photos really quickly, and we were blown away by how great they ALL were. We've been very happy and proud to show off our proposal photos, and everyone has loved them. I can honestly say that my proposal would not have turned out as great as it did without Emily! Thanks Emily!!

To be honest, the photographer was the only vendor I was picky about and as soon as I saw their wedding photography, I knew immediately that they had to be ours. I love the lighting and style of their work. They are incredibly talented and have an eye for what makes a good photo. I loved how their documentary style gave us a full story of that day. If that wasn't enough, Mark and Magda are incredibly kind and will put their whole heart into your day. They were present and attentive the whole time. When the events of the day were underway I didn't even notice them buzzing around snapping photos. They were also responsive before and after the wedding and worked well with our wedding planner when it came to scheduling, etc. We received the photos within a couple weeks of the wedding. They also helped us select photos for a leather-bound book (honestly, they did most of the selecting/formatting themselves which was wonderful - I'm a hands-off kind of bride). I've told Mark and Magda I want them to be our family photographer forever! I'm just so in love with their work and I don't want our wedding to be the last time we work with them. I can't recommend them enough and they'll be worth every single dollar you spend on them (something pretty uncommon in the wedding industry!!)

From the very beginning, Mark was super easy to communicate with and he always responded promptly to the plethora of questions that I threw at him. At our initial meeting, he really took the time to understand what I was looking for in a photographer and what was important to me when photographing our wedding day. From looking through his blog, I knew immediately that his style of photography was exactly what we were looking for; candid, artsy, and a unique way of capturing light (this was huge for me). After we signed the contract with him, Mark was great about keeping in touch over the months leading up to the wedding to get all the specifics of the day and to check in to see if I had any questions. He always made himself available via email or phone if I needed advice for how to best set up our schedule for the day or even if I had silly freak out questions about worst-case weather scenarios (which he always put me at ease about). I really appreciated that Mark & Madga took a day ahead of time to scope out our church and reception venue. I told him it was very important that we incorporate the outdoors as much as we could, and he made sure to find some great potential locations for photos. On the day of, Mark and Magda were able to coordinate perfectly to ensure that both my husband and I would have pictures of us getting ready with our bridal parties. They are both so personable and fun that they quickly put me at ease and really blended into the background to get all of these amazing candid shots throughout the morning. The ceremony went flawlessly and they coordinated group family shots with ease. I think that my favorite thing about working with Mark and Magda was how enthusiastic they were about taking amazing photographs. They went out of their way to convince an owner of a private barn to let us take pictures on his property and I couldn't help but really get into the photo session as Mark was so excited about the location and the light filtering into the barn. The photos from our cocktail hour were such a pleasant surprise to look at after the wedding as I barely even noticed them mingling in the groups to snag some amazing candid photos of all our friends and family. Mark was able to coordinate the timing perfectly at our reception to sneak us outside right after dinner to get these amazing golden hour pictures on the beach. I highly highly recommend Mark Trela as a Wedding Photographer. He is a true professional, a super great guy to have around on your big day, and he creates absolutely stunning photographs.

That means doing your homework. I'll help you out with gusto, just as so many have helped me as I got started on my own journey. Being on point on your self marketing, especially when you are non-represented, is non-negotiable. Failing to be professional with what casting directors demand is a roadblock. Submissions are "make or break" power moves. THE ODDS ARE AGAINST the apex storybook discovery tales of rarities like JLAW, Michele Pfeiffer, Charlize Theron etc. so if you expect that to be your way in...it's not reality. I get cast and work in these markets: NYC (Netflix movies), Atlanta (Marvel/ABC), and Mid-Atlantic (Apple TV). I am new to the business (three years in) but I have been building a resume over time and there is no way I am going to compromise because I take my career seriously. There is no slack given in a highly competitive industry with a dearth of roles and a surplus of talent. SO...if you want to crack the code, get seen, get call backs, get booked then there is no better photographer for any amount of money than BK Rose and Kat is my Queen. I get work in commercials, major motion pictures, network tv shows because of her. Fact! Every single person I ask that plays a role in getting cast (when I am lucky enough to get employment) has singled out my headshots as what is working for me to get my foot in the door. BK Rose unequivocally is worth the plane ticket, drive time, train time, mule riding time (you name it) to get quality content and ultimately get BOOKED. Not 10 out of 10 -- 100 out of 10!

I can't recommend Cara and her skills and talents highly enough!
