Kind words from the couple:
“We found Nicodem Creative as a suggestion from our Wedding Coordinator (Olive Fine Weddings) and fell in love with their style and photos off their website portfolio. We knew we had to have them as our photographers. We met with them over drinks at a great, comfortable location in Chicago and they let us know their approach to weddings. Basically, they approach it as a member of the family who just happens to have a camera. They could not have been more accurate in their description. The day of our celebration, they seamlessly became part of our family and caught so many perfect moments throughout the day. We are in love with every single photo, it is hard to pick just one that is our favorite. They were perfect with the small children in our extended family, coaching them through photos like a distantly related, cool cousin, who knew exactly how to work with small children, yet remained professional and calm throughout the hectic day. They really did become part of our family that day. Their work speaks for itself, but we cannot say enough about how amazing and welcoming they were. Being their first same-sex wedding was an honor, and we strongly recommend them to any couple tying the knot, LGBTQ or otherwise.”
