Absolutely thrilled with Brian! From start to finish, his professionalism and creativity exceeded our expectations. He went through all the information we needed to know before the wedding day. He captured every moment with such artistry and attention to detail, creating a stunning collection of memories we'll cherish forever. Brian’s ability to make us feel comfortable and relaxed was remarkable, helping us with our things as we go around the venue to take photos. He worked well with our videographer throughout the day as well! The quality of his work, combined with his friendly and accommodating nature, made our wedding day even more special. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer who will go above and beyond to make your day unforgettable!

Wow, where do we even begin?! Brian is not only an amazing photographer, but an amazing person. He works so hard and it pays off! His talent, passion, hard work and commitment to his craft are obvious in every shot he took of our engagement and wedding. He truly took on the role of a coordinator the day of our wedding- helping keep the flow and organization, focusing on the timeline and making sure we got every photo we wanted. He had everyone laughing throughout the day, and embraced our ideas and wishes for photos, adding his own touches that complimented our vision perfectly. If you are looking for a photographer- look no further. We cannot recommend Brian enough!

Brain was an amazing photographer for our wedding! He was so prepared with makeup, eyelash glue, scissors, advil, and helping with dress steaming. I could not have asked for a better person to help capture the most beautiful day of mine and my wife's life. He was funny, inclusive, personable and extremely knowledgeable and organized in all his shots. 100% recommend to anyone in the Illinois area. Thank you for making forever memories for us! Love Claire and Rebecca!

I am so happy I used Brian Adams as my wedding photographer. He is phenomenal at what he does. Not only is he a creative and brilliant photographer, he is someone you want to be with all day on your wedding day. He makes taking photos so much fun and always has the bride and groom’s best interest in mind. I truly can’t thank him enough for making my day run smoothly and for getting all the moments I wanted captured and more. Having Brian as our photographer was honestly our best wedding decision and I HIGHLY recommend using him for any future wedding or event! Thank you Brian!!

"I can't possibly rave enough about Brian and his team. There are a few quality moments from my wedding day, and our engagement session that truly set him apart. First of all, Brian LOVES his job. This is apparent from the second you meet him, and passion goes an extremely long way when capturing such a momentous occasion. From our first meeting, my (now) husband and I felt comfortable with putting the fate of our wedding memories in Brian's hands. He was always prompt for pre-session/pre-wedding planning meetings, and had plenty of ideas, tips, and tricks for our day. We were CLUELESS at first, but Brian's experience is top-notch, and he made us feel at ease. We went into our engagement session a little nervous, but by the time we were done we felt like having our picture taken was second nature!
On the day of our wedding, Brian had thought of everything one could imagine. I got some make-up in my eye, and he was on the spot with contact solution and a case for me to keep it in until showtime.
Our wedding photos are so breathtakingly beautiful, and when looking at our gallery I feel like I get to take a walk through my day over and over again.
Brian is an exceptional photographer, which I have learned is so much more than taking good photos. He enhanced the experience of our wedding day, and being the oldest five children, my family honestly can't wait to have him capture the next four weddings!"

“I knew Brian was a great choice within minutes of meeting him. He is outgoing and fun from the very beginning and throughout your entire engagement and wedding night, but he can keep even the rowdiest crowd organized and on schedule. Our families and wedding party were ecstatic about his photography style and personality, and our photos are truly amazing! He captured exactly what we wanted and moments we didn't even know existed. We've received more complements than we can count, and couldn't imagine our photography experience with anyone else!”

“Brian was absolutely incredible to work with. Our wedding fell on a hot, record breaking day and he managed to keep us hydrated and cool with the backup Gatorade, water, and ice packs he brought for us. Despite all the sweaty and uncomfortable people, our photos are absolutely flawless. He kept us laughing with the personable relationship he quickly established with us, and he captured the day exactly how it felt to us. The wait for our finished gallery was short and the gallery is organized and very easy to use. We are so impressed with B. Adams Photography and are excited to relive and share our wedding day for years to come!”

“Brian was amazing! I found him about 10/11 months before my wedding day and we met up and talked about everything we wanted and what he offered! He was down for whatever we wanted and had an awesome personality! We felt like we had know him for years!! We traveled about an hour to meet him in Rockton the town we would be getting married in and we were so happy we took the drive up! He kept in touch the whole time we were planning our wedding and was always answering my calls /messages as soon as he could! On our wedding day he showed up on time and started working right away! He helped with whatever I needed and calmed me down when I thought I was going to be late haha! EVERYONE loved him! We had three of our friends that are getting married say they had to have him at their wedding and we couldn’t agree more! Now you understand his personality and the fun he provides for you and your guests but the pictures ... they are absolutely stunning and exactly what we wanted! He understood what we asked for and he did it! We were crying happy tears looking at them! We not only are going to recommend him to everyone we know but we gained a great friend that we will always be grateful for! And also will be are go to guy for pictures in the future!”

“Brian was absolutely amazing! I would recommend him a million times over! He was so easy to work with and kept us on track. Our pictures turned out better than I ever could have imagined.

I could not think of anything bad about him expect we wish we could have had him for longer!!! He was absolutely wonderful!!!”

“Brian and his team were an absolute pleasure to work with on our wedding day. My husband and I have never had professional photos taken so we felt a little awkward at first but Brian and his assistant made us feel comfortable by connecting with us and making us laugh. Brian made sure to get every single photo we could have wanted for our wedding photo album and more! He got to know us and our sense of humor and got the best pictures of my husband with his wedding beer stein 👌 He pulled us away to take some time for ourselves and have our photos at all the right times during the evening- just when we needed a break from the crazy reception! He even taught us a little about the special effects he was using to back light our night pictures. Thank you for the amazing photos and memories, Brian!”

“Brian was beyond amazing! He was so great to work with before the wedding. So easy to talk to and really wanted to get to know what was important to us. The day of he was there early and ready to go! Everyone in the wedding party was talking about how great he was. He truly set the mood of the day of being a fun and upbeat. He was so efficient during family photos and captured so many fun, creative and forever photos for us. He helped us relax and have fun with it. He always made sure we were okay and was there if we needed anything! He definitely went above and beyond the typical photographer role. He did so much! I cannot say enough amazing things about him. It was so nice to relax that day and I honestly fully trusted him to get the photos and help the day run smoothly. If you are on the fence, just book him now! It will probably be the best decision of your wedding day, it was for me!”

“Brian went above and beyond our expectations as the photographer for our wedding. His upbeat and personable personality makes you feel as though you have been friends for a long time. He is very organized and did well to send reminders along the way when planning for the timeline and general photos were needing to be discussed. He is able to create the most stunning and natural pictures through varying lighting, perspectives and does so without creating awkwardness. He is very professional and thinks through every detail. He even is prepared with a back-up and solution for everything from extra camera equipment to bridal party needs. The quality of his work far exceeds this price which is very affordable compared to others. We would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to get married or wanting to capture life's most precious moments.”

“Brian was an absolute pleasure to work with! Our photos were amazing, he captured the day wonderfully! His vast experience with photographing weddings was absolutely vital, from asking the right questions beforehand to knowing more about bustling a dress than any of the bridal party. He and his assistant were so fun to be around, it made taking photos a breeze. Definitely would recommend him to anyone!”

“Brian was simply the best. Working with him in the lead up to the wedding was easy; we were planning an Illinois wedding from Virginia and he was very flexible when setting up phone calls around our crazy schedules. He was also very understanding of the fact that it was our wedding and let us call all the shots! Day of, he showed up and fit right in with all of us; he was another fun wedding guest who just happened to be an excellent photographer taking all our pictures. His assistant, Igor, was fantastic too. We just got our pictures back and could not be happier; they are beautiful and perfect! He does such great work with lighting and keeping things natural.”
