    Wedding Photographer

    Brian was so much fun to work with as our wedding photographer! He kept the entire wedding party organized and on-time the whole day. Brian coordinated very well with our other vendors to keep the day moving smoothly and we never had to worry about the small details - he had it covered! My husband and I are nervous in front of the camera but Brian kept us calm and laughing. You can't feel self-conscious when you're cracking up! Brian also really cares about his couples and our friends and family loved working with him, too. He was great at capturing all the important moments, no matter how small, without ever feeling intrusive. We highly recommend Brian to anyone looking for a charismatic and talented photographer!

    Perfect photographer for a perfect day

    Brian was the perfect photographer for our wedding. He is a complete professional that knows what he’s doing and how to get the most with his pictures. He always managed to make us feel so comfortable throughout both the engagement photo session and also the wedding. At the wedding itself he did a phenomenal job with his second photographer Tyler. They worked well as a team, and we couldn’t be happier with how they both captured the emotions and overall vibe of the day. In short, Brian is great at what he does and will execute whatever it is you ask of him. We will be recommending him to family, friends, and anyone else looking for a photographer. Thanks again Brian!

    Best photographer ever

    If you’re looking for not only a photographer but comedian, hype man, planner, and just good guy- Brian is your man. He helped make our day so special! He kept us on track and got all the pictures we could have asked for. I cannot recommend him enough. All our friends wanted his information for their future weddings.

    Best photographer in Northern IL!

    Planning a wedding through a pandemic is not something that anyone would wish for, but from the moment we spoke to Brian the first time up until our wedding we had nothing but a positive experience! When we had our engagement session it felt just like hanging out with a long time friend. Brian is so friendly and comfortable to work with that you forget that you are standing in front of his camera. And the results!!! The photos were nothing like I’ve ever seen before. They truly captured our personalities and love. Now onto the actual wedding: EVERYTHING and I mean everything was seamless. My husband nor I ever had to worry about the timeline or where we needed to be at what time. He and his second photographer, Tyler easily directed both our families and our wedding party as needed. Again, the pictures came out beautiful and many of our guests and attendants asked if Brian could be their photographer for future events. Overall, we truly believe that we made the right choice for our photography team and would not have had it any other way! Thank you x1000 Brian and Tyler!

    Experienced, fun, passionate, and an amazing eye for photography

    Brian has been amazing for us! He thinks of everything and is focused on every detail of your pictures so that you just get to relax and have fun. He’s incredibly efficient and captures true candid and natural poses. Not only is he a photography expert, but also an all around wedding expert as well. He can give advice and pointers on anything related to your wedding day details. His personality is perfect for the job and makes you feel comfortable the second you meet. By the end of the day he’s become your friend not just your photographer. I can’t imagine choosing anyone else to capture these incredibly priceless moments.

    Brian is incredible!!

    Brian did such an amazing job for our wedding!! To say he was just our photographer wouldn’t be giving him enough credit. He was like our wedding planner/life coach the day of...water bottles on standby, calming everyone before the ceremony, my fur shawl on deck for when it was cold, giving us breaks in the trolley to get away from the cold for a few minutes...I could go on and on. Even starting earlier on with the planning he was organized and knowledgeable. He made our wedding pictures a breeze! I will be recommending Brian to everyone!!

    The best of the best

    I can't put into words the experience that Brain gave us on our wedding day. He knew the timeline and everything we wanted like the back of his hand and it all flowed so perfectly. There isn't a single picture from our day that I wouldn't frame. It's been 5 days since we received the pictures and I've looked at all of them multiple times a day! Thanks again Brian and Igor!

    Best Photographer Ever

    My husband and I think that Brian is the bestest Photographer ever!!!! We couldn't be happier with our experience with him. He was so professional yet not judgy with all our weirdness combined. He truly works wonders by keeping me and my squirrels on track all day. He is seriously such a pleasure to work with. I would recommend him over and over again.

    Brian is a wizard genuis

    Stop what you’re doing and hire Brian immediately!! He’s a professional and talented wedding photographer who thinks of everything.

    He had great suggestions for photo locations, and his sense of humor made our wedding party feel at ease. He makes sure to get the posed photos you want, but he also gets magical candid shots. I had 10 bridesmaids and they all hope to hire him someday for their own weddings.

    I also really appreciated how easy it was to get in touch with Brian. He’s very prompt at responding to texts/emails, and he even went out of his way to send us photos of flowers/centerpieces to help us with brainstorming.

    Also, his second photographer, Igor, was awesome, too! They make a great team!

    Seriously, hire Brian and don’t look back.

    I waited my whole life for this...

    Brian did not disappoint. He was beyond amazing! He was able to work with us with our last minute changes due to weather, kept me calm throughout the entire planning process and went above and beyond what is to be expected from a photographer. He is very laid back and so fun to work with! My pictures turned out amazing and I waited my whole life for this day and it couldn't have been more perfect, even when mother nature through a giant monkey wrench in our plans!

    Fantastic Photographer, Wonderful Experience!

    I don’t have enough space nor time to rave about our experience with Brian and his second shooter, Ryan. Choosing the right photographer to capture and memorialize our wedding day was one of the most nerve-racking experiences because we couldn’t know how the photos would turn out until everything was said and done. Thankfully, we had NOTHING to worry about! I don’t use the term lightly, but Brian and Ryan were AMAZING. We were really able to connect with them (the love of Jeeps sure helped) and both our engagement session and wedding day couldn’t have gone any better.

    It is incredible to me how Brian really captured the feel of the day. 5 months later as I look at my photos, I can still feel the emotion I felt on my wedding day.

    He was so easy to work with, is personable and helped to ease the anxiety of the day. He was great at blending into the background and still being able to capture intimate moments.

    Everyone who has seen our photos is stunned by the beauty and emotion that radiates through them. My sister-in-law says she wishes Brain had done her wedding, because now she is disappointed with her photos!

    You will NOT regret hiring B. Adams Photography for your event. I hope we have the occasion to work with him in the future!

    Amazing!

    i don't think there are enough good things in the english language that i could say about brian. we just received our wedding photos, i haven't even looked through all of them [hundreds] yet, but the ones i have looked at are absolutely stunning. as were our engagement photos. he made our day fun and seamless.
    normally i would have been very uncomfortable having my picture taken, but brian made it easy to be in front of the camera. he is very personable and easy going, but also professional. we could not stop smiling and laughing, and some of that might have to do with the fact that we had just gotten married, but brian helped. we did not have one worry about where to take photos or how to pose, he made everything so simple.
    if you are considering brian in your search for wedding photographers, i would give him a million thumbs up if i could. seriously, if you're still searching, stop here. i spoke to at least two dozen photographers and brian was the last one. i knew from one e-mail and one look at his photo gallery that he was the one for us. photography was my number one priority for our wedding and i cannot imagine anyone else capturing our day and making it so easy and beautiful. if i EVER need anything else done, brian will be the first person i contact. heck, i would consider hiring him just to shoot my every day life. :D
    thank you so much!!!!

    We loved our experience and EVERY picture!

    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 more than a photographer for us. He helped us navigate our wedding with suave prestige. He captured all the magical moments and used his creativity and knowledge of us to personalize our pictures. He has customizable packages fit for any bride and groom. We are so happy with Brian and would recommend him to anyone who will hear us!

    Brian and his team make your engagement and wedding photography experience fun, magical, and personalized.

    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!

    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 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!

    Better than I could have ever imagined!

    Brian is the best photographer ever!!! (I’ve been in a lot of weddings, I actually chose him after loving his work for one of my friends weddings). He made the day run sooo smoothly! He also made my husband— who absolutely hates taking photos, feel so comfortable. He worked so quick and efficiently with the bridal party. It was snowy and the sun set early on the day of my wedding and he found creative locations to make my pictures phenomenal. I would 100% recommend Brian to every person in need of a wedding/engagement photographer.

    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 and we had 3 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 is truly a wonderful photographer to have by your side throughout the wedding day and engagement session. He is so fun and we had a blast hanging out with him and planning the big day. Not only are the photographs incredible but he helps so much throughout the day too- helping with timing, ensuring you don't need anything and can swoop in with a tissue whenever you need it- definitely utilized this a few times! We would recommend hiring Brian to anyone that asks!
