A kind, calm, and servant-hearted approach to creating joyful, classic, and true-to-life images.

We’re Josh and Alexa Adams

A husband and wife team specializing in wedding and portrait photography in Chicago and beyond. Our photography style is classic and joyful — and carefully edited to honor skin tones, greens, and the colors from your day, just as you remember them.

We often hear from those who work with us that we bring a very kind and peaceful presence to a wedding day, and the joy of our job is not to just photograph, but to serve you and your families and friends in the process.

about us

Hire Josh and Alexa Adams. We knew as soon as we met them (at Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream) that they were the photography team for us. Our decision was validated many times over during both the engagement shoot and the wedding day. All of our guests felt at ease with their gentle yet firm direction, and they both truly captured everything impeccably. All of our photos are incredible. The hardest decision is deciding which and how many photographs to print. Hire them. You will not regret it.

Choosing Josh and Alexa as our wedding photographers was easily the best decision we made for our wedding day. From the first meeting to the delivery of our photos, they were absolutely incredible. They are calm, efficient, professional, respectful, and just an absolute joy to work with. They have incredible attention to detail that shows in their work - all of our special moments were captured perfectly. You can trust you will be in good hands with these two, every step of the way. We truly cannot thank them enough for all they did for us on our day!

We have used Adams Photography for engagement, wedding, and two newborn family sessions! They have so beautifully captured our growing family and I could not imagine going anywhere else. They make you feel so welcome immediately to capture your most natural self - the candids are my favorite and hang on the walls in our homes! Don’t hesitate, book Adams Photography because you won’t regret it!

Kevin and I cannot recommend Adams Photography enough. Josh and Alexa are incredibly talented and captured our day perfectly. In addition to their style and skills, Josh and Alexa brought a calming presence to our wedding day that we were so thankful for. They were everything we hoped for and more! We can’t wait to work with them again in the future.

Josh and Alexa are top notch. The best of the best. Our wedding day was made perfect not only through their stunning photos, but through both of their ability to perform their job with with excellence. Under the chaos of a wedding day, you need people like these two who are unfazed by the unexpected. Others feed off of their calmness and ability to approach any situation positively. I cannot speak highly enough of them.

Alexa and Josh have been an absolute gift to work with! They’ve captured photos for our family over multiple milestone ages and our kids (now 2 and 5) adore them. They are warm and great at directing so that nothing feels awkward or forced. Cannot wait to continue working with them in the future!
