THE EXPERIENCE

WHAT TO EXPECT WORKING WITH NOVA PHOTOS FOR YOUR SPECIAL DAY

Our mission is to make every wedding photoshoot a heartfelt experience filled with joy, elegance, and emotion. If you’re planning a wedding and need a photographer, we help preserve those fleeting moments. We don’t just take pictures. We capture moments you’ll never want to forget. The look in their eyes as you walk down the aisle. That quiet laugh during your first dance.

The happy tears, the wild dance floor, the in-between glances that say everything. We believe wedding photography should feel like you real, emotional, timeless. Every gallery we create is designed to tell the full story of your day. When you look back, you won’t just remember what it looked like. You’ll remember how it felt. Want to relive your day, every day? Contact Nova Photos today.

Outdoor WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

There’s something unforgettable about saying "I do" surrounded by nature. Whether it’s golden hour by Lake Michigan or an intimate ceremony tucked inside Garfield Park Conservatory, Chicago offers outdoor wedding locations that make every photo feel cinematic.


Modern elopements aren’t about running away. They’re about choosing something more personal. More intentional. Less pressure, more presence.

As a Chicago elopement photographer, we specialize in capturing:

  • Couple-only or small-group ceremonies (usually under 20 guests)
  • Shorter timelines with 1 to 4 hours of meaningful coverage
  • Nontraditional, emotional settings like rooftops, city hall, hidden gardens, or a cool Airbnb
  • A relaxed, go-with-the-flow schedule that keeps the focus on you


At Nova Photos, we’re here to tell your story in a way that feels like you real, candid, and deeply personal. Let’s create something you’ll want to relive for years to come.
