Hi! We’re Dom & Nelena of Andreoni Photography. A husband & wife team based near Starved Rock, we love Chicago and end up on a road trip to the city at least once a month. Dom is our lead photographer, Nelena shoots the video, and we work the day together so your gallery and video feel like one story from the day. Our style is candid and documentary. We’re all about raw, real emotion more than staged poses. When our daughter started to show interest in photography, we taught her the basics and now she has started to join us as our second shooter on wedding days. You can see more of her work on our website. We are LGBTQ+ friendly and will proudly document your day, your love, and your story. We’ve photographed and filmed weddings across Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Vermont, and beyond and we’re always open to travel wherever your story takes us. Like what you see?

Any questions?

Kate M

There are NO words I can use to describe how amazingly, beyond the call of duty, fantastic this couple is (his wife is the videographer). They went totally above our expectations,...

practically acting like the wedding coordinator. I got a cramp in my hand, she massaged it! I was tired? she brought me water! They captured amazing shots (we got some sneak peeks) , were unobtrusive but right in the thick of things, and they literally MADE OUR DAY. If you don't hire Dom, well, you just don't want awesome pictures. Or awesome people at your wedding. I would 1000% reccomend them. They made our day even more special.

Updated post wedding! We had the most amazing experience working with Dom for our engagement photos! He made us feel comfortable and truly listened to our vision. The photo sessio...

n was fun and relaxed, and it really felt like we were just having a great time together rather than posing for a shoot. The results are absolutely stunning! Each photo captures the essence of our relationship beautifully—there are so many incredible shots that we’ll treasure forever. We couldn’t be happier with how the photos turned out. Highly recommend Dom to anyone looking for professional, high-quality photos that truly reflect who you are as a couple. We can’t wait for the wedding photos! We used Andreoni Photography for our engagement photos and knew we hired the right people for our wedding. Dom and Nelly are a great team. They constantly feed off of one another. If one has an idea, the other will have a small suggestion that completes the shot. Dom’s creative skills created unique shots that were specific for our wedding and venue. These photos were an added bonus beyond the standard wedding photos. Nelly went above and beyond making sure my dress was taken care of and set up for photos. If you’re looking for an engagement or wedding photographer, your search can end here with Andreoni Photography.

They did a great job for our wedding! The photos turned out great, they were a help the entire day, and completely accommodating to any of our wants. We recommend!

ears. When we received our photos, we were so excited to see the creativity in every shot. My wife and I had chosen to do some photos in front of a graffiti wall before the ceremony, and the pictures came out better than we imagined! We also loved all of the photos before, during, and after the ceremony that captured our celebration with friends and family. We were impressed with the quick turnaround time, as well. We highly recommend working with Andreoni Photography!

ght such a creative and artistic touch to every shot. We felt like we could truly trust them to capture every special moment — and they did not disappoint. On the day of our wedding, Dom & Jed were incredibly professional and went above and beyond to ensure that no moment was missed. They were both so personable, blending seamlessly into the background while still capturing all the candid emotions and intimate moments that made our day so special. Their ability to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera — and to turn that into photos that felt natural and full of love — was truly remarkable.

aphers and videographers, but they are also so warm and personable, making the whole experience feel more like a celebration than a service. They were professional and efficient in keeping our wedding timeline on track, which was a huge relief. Weddings can be hectic, but these three kept everything running smoothly and on time without ever feeling rushed. They truly have a knack for knowing the right moment to capture without interrupting the flow of the day. The photos and videos turned out absolutely stunning—each shot perfectly capturing the essence and emotion of the day. We couldn't be more thrilled with how everything turned out. We highly recommend Dom, Nelena, and Jed to anyone looking for a talented, friendly, and dependable photo and video team. They really made us feel like we were in great hands the entire time

throughout the entire process. His professionalism and personable nature really set him apart, and he made us feel like we were in the best hands. Dom also did our engagement shoot, which was so much fun and gave us some absolutely amazing photos. It was a great way for us to get comfortable with him before the big day, and the results were beyond what we imagined! On our wedding day, Dom, Jed & Nelena worked seamlessly, capturing every moment beautifully without ever being in the way. We highly recommend Dom for anyone looking for a photographer and videographer who is not only talented but also genuinely cares about making your day as stress-free and special as possible. Thank you, Dom, for being such an important part of our wedding experience!

veryone, and had the perfect balance of being helpful but never "in the way". Their laid back attitude helped out so much throughout the day, and I cannot shout out Nelina enough for how much extra help she provided to me all day. They definitely went above and beyond, and I haven't even gotten around to the photos yet! Dom made taking photos so easy and relaxed, letting us be comfortable and working around and with the environment. He went with our posing ideas and had plenty of his own, and they turned out absolutely beautiful. One of my favorite things is they didn't "stage" too much, they didn't want us to fake things for the pictures, they captured moments organically and they were beautiful!

lted in a fabulous set. We couldn't pick just one favorite photo, or even "a top 5". Dom and his wife were very attentive to our ideas, and also made great suggestions for other shots based on their professional experience. In addition to photography, Dom's wife was very helpful with ensuring the wedding party looked their best (repaired the bride's dress when the belt came loose, adjusted the groom's boutonniere, etc). We highly recommend Andreoni Photography!

n a comfortable way that took away the self-conscious piece of having a photographer. We were able to just have fun without breaking the moments for the photographer. Then when we got the pictures back, WOW. The photos are beautiful, and they help me remember the emotions I had that day when I look back at them. He was able to capture the day brilliantly. I highly recommend.

nd responsive to any question or concern I had. We started photos at 11 in the morning and ended the day at 10 PM and from beginning to end they were on the ball, so kind and had the best attention to detail. I received so many compliments from my bridal party as well as guests regarding their service. My wedding was on 10/1 and by 10/4 AM Dom had already sent me the wedding album. That is the fastest turnaround I've ever heard of, especially considering it's peak wedding season. Both him and his wife were so easy to get along with and so comfortable. My bustle broke at the beginning of the reception and Nelena helped my mom fix it so that it wouldn't get ruined. Dom also rode with me and my bridesmaids to the venue to take candid photos. I cannot recommend them enough!!!

On the day they moved smoothly through the ceremony and reception and knew when to assert themselves to get the best pictures. They offered something that not all photographers can and that is true flexibility. They were a joy to work with and we will treasure these photos forever. Thank you, Andreoni Photography!

They made everyone feel comfortable and captured photos of natural emotion from everyone there. Not only that they made sure to include shots that were important for us to have (not matter how ridiculous). If you want your day to feel special without stressful photo sessions definitely book Andreoni Photography! We look forward to booking them again for our hopefully post-COVID ceremony on 7//4/2021!

t message. They worked with us as we replanned portions of the wedding due to COVID, including a venue relocation that increased their commute from the earlier, agreed-upon one. They spent the whole day with us, offering photo suggestions as well as happily taking any photos we asked for. Everyone at the event spoke about how nice they were to interact with, and all of the shots turned out wonderful. We’re having another event next year and are excited to have them come photograph it for us. Great people and awesome photographers!

otos back quickly and WOW! We have so many amazing photos to choose from. I don't know how they do it, but they captured all the love and joy happening that day in a way that will allow us to transport back anytime we look at our beautiful photos. Their artistic take on capturing the moment adds an extra special flair to make your photos truly unique. Our friends and family who weren't there but have now seen photos, can't stop talking about how amazing our day looked. I highly recommend Andreoni Photography! I'll be using them for our future events!

Felicia C

Having Dom and Nel shoot our wedding was the single best decision we made in our planning process. They made sure that both of us were more comfortable than we have ever been takin...

g tons of pictures, and they helped every part of the day they touched go smoothly. From being more prepared for rain than we ourselves were to caving to all the requests for particular shots from family members with no hesitation on their part, they were professional, calm, and collected throughout our wedding and reception. They captured a ton of off-the-cuff candid moments too, and were very discreet in doing so to the point that we didn't know they had taken some of the shots we got back. We got back far more pictures than we anticipated, and each one looked better than the last. I don't think we could have had more fun, more comfort, or more success on our wedding day with any other team of photographers. They were the most adaptable people around us on our wedding day, and we could not recommend them more highly.

s. They had reasonable prices and were open to whatever we threw at them!! Nel even tied and fixed the back of my dress perfectly, such personalized attention. They had great ideas for photos and were willing to change up plans on a whim, following us for an impromptu Indian blessing ceremony before the reception. The photos are beautiful and will be cherished for years to come. I would highly recommend them.

Dom is the coolest, most chill photographer. He had great ideas for us but also let us have our own ideas. He made us feel very comfortable, and just took amazing shots!

They were able to get us a sneak peek of our wedding day just a couple days after our wedding. Out of all the photographers I have worked with for family photos and other weddings I was in they are by far the best I have seen in this area.

It was awesome to not have to worry about getting good photos because they all were amazing! I have heard of people waiting months before they get their photos...we received our first batch within a week and ALLLL of them within a week and a half. Would recommend them for any event, but they were so much fun for our wedding!
