Of all the photographic work I've seen, Adrian seems to always put his client in the most natural settings and seems to know when the camera is ready to take that perfect shot. Truthfully, I've never seen anyone take a shot with available lighting and situations as well as this master of the lens.

He is a highly creative and skilled photographer. if you are looking for a photographer for any reason - and care about quality, he is the best 'deal' in town! He is personable and very reasonable in terms of what he charges for such excellent work. He has my highest recommendation.less November 23, 2008, Leslie was adrian's client

Absolutely wonderful! Our shots were crisp, beautiful and unique. Everyone commented that Adrian seemed to be everywhere at once, snapping a professional shot practically every time someone whipped out a camera. He was flexible, talented and very nice. And we have TONS of great digital shots now to do with as we please! We'd recommend him to anyone.

I was definitely thrilled with the photo shoot. We had lots of fun .Then came the proofs. Amazing, it was so difficult to choose. Adrian - exceeded all expectations .I knew Adrian was a great photographer after seeing by brother wedding pictures .I did not know haw fantastic he is with kids ...We all love him !

Adrian photographed our son's Bar Mitvah, and did a wonderful job. He has a lovely, gentle manner and seemed to catch every special moment, while never making himself or his needs the center of attention. Both the candids and the formal shots were beautiful. He was a pleasure to work with .

Adrian is the epitome of professionalism, friendliness, flexibility, attention to detail and just a complete pleasure to work with. From the first time we met regarding the photography for my wedding, Adrian was ready with a plan, questions (things that I hadn't even thought of!) and a willingness to accommodate all the things I wanted into one package. The day of the wedding, I couldn't have asked for anything more. Adrian showed up early, was immediately friends with my entire family, and captured every moment. He was also great with last minute changes and adjustments to the schedule, and extra pictures I wanted. During the wedding, Adrian was there for every single step. Every moment was captured, every smile, every tear, every laugh and giggle. Promptly thereafter, we received all the photos and I am just amazed at the quality of the pictures, and how everything I loved about the wedding shone through. There is feeling and emotion in Adrian's photography, and that is what sets him apart. My husband and I will continue to use Adrian for those special and important events in our life, and we will most certainly recommend him to everyone we know. Thank you Adrian!!!!

It was such a pleasure to work with him because he truly cares about what he does and what we wanted. He is very professional and has a great eye for taking pictures. His pictures were so great, and I mean all of them. I didnt think it was possible to take that many great pictures! His passion for his work is what makes him such a great person. We have already referred him to many friends and family looking for a photographer. I look forward to seeing him in the future. Tony Mathews

Adrian Nastase Photography is a real class-act. He was on-time, well-dressed, charismatic, tons of fun, and great with the children. We got high-resolution digital files of ALL of our photos, which is nearly unheard of. Plus, they are magnificent. So far we've narrowed it to 300 must-have prints. We have only wonderful things to say about Adrian and his associate, who was also professional, courteous and well-dressed. I feel like he understood our modern sensibilities and had us take some unexpected artistic shots in an industrial alley by our venue. They completely his idea and they are my favorites. I will love them forever because they are very "Mark and Mary," and the wedding day was so hectic, it's nice to know he was looking out for us like that. Since the wedding, Adrian has been attentive, courteous, and a consummate professional. You will be hard pressed to find a more creative, likable, qualified photographer for your event.

If there was ever a day in our lives we felt most alive, it was undoubtedly our wedding day. And what better photographer to capture the moment than Adrian Nastase. From our first visit to his studio we felt a connection with him, not just as clients but close friends. All other photographers seemed to fall short of our expectations but once we found Adi, it was crystal clear. He sets the bar high. We are extremely happy with our photographs and wouldn't change a thing. He is creative and has an eye for unique moments. He is NOT the usual "sit here, do this" photographer but he will capture each moment as it unfolds, without interrupting it. We absolutely loved working with him and can't wait for our next photo shoot. From this point on we feel confident to let him photograph our special events, whether it's our anniversaries or additions to the family (whenever that time may come ^_^ ). We would recommend him to anyone, for any event.

Accessorize your wedding with the perfect accessory – your photographer – Adrian Nastase 
• Wedding Date: 05/05/07

If your love is worth it and it's the one day you can't afford a do over, you need to hire Adrian Nastase because he will without a doubt surpass your expectations. I was always amazed of how much time and money people spend on choosing the perfect cake, the perfect attire, the perfect place to marry, the perfect flowers for their perfect day, yet they will trust an unprofessional photographer to capture it all. At the end of the day when the music stops, the cake is gone, the flowers have wilted and your attire is boxed up what are you left with? Oh yes, your photo album. Looking through it now, searching for all those perfect moments you hoped your photographer captured and realizing as they're missing that they'll remain just a distant memory of your perfect day, don't you wish you would have hired the best? Well all I can tell you is that the photography for your wedding is one detail you can not afford to overlook. So unveil your love and let a master capture it in hundreds of timeless moments... That's what my husband and I did and it was worth every penny. We had a perfect wedding and we now have our photos to prove it. The happiness, the stolen moments, the tears, the love that was in the air it's all there recreated in print, thanks to Adrian and Bogdan his brother who's impeccable service and professionalism exceeded our expectations. "From the beginning to end" when you don't want your perfect love lost in translation, hire the perfect storyteller - Adrian Nastase, your photographer, and let him highlight your day. We're trilled we did and so is everyone else that worked with Adrian!

More than excellent- Magnificent!!!

For our Fall wedding in 2005, we sought a photographer who was skilled in the photojouralistic approach to photography- someone that would not bore us with cliched postures and over exposed poses, but would use their artistic powers to capture the images and experiences of our wedding that would help us to relish the moments of the most important day of our lives. We were not disappointed. In fact, we could not have known that, through Adrian, we had entrusted our wedding photos to one of the most creative and talented young photographers in the Chicago metropolitan area. His interactions with us before the event would be a prelude to the quality of the end product. He met with the wedding party prior to the wedding, to coordinate his activities with us and to learn a little about us. He listened to us attentively. For our morning wedding, Adrian arrived early, and from the time of his arrival until the end of the day, he became both omnipresent and invisible, subtly capturing scenes from all aspects of the wedding. From preparation, ceremony to reception, he was very effective at being present at every memorable moment, yet was completely unobtrusive. Neither we nor anyone else present at the celebration could believe how hard this man was working. Adrian made sure to go to great lengths to capture the perfect photo, even going so far as receiving a parking citation from one of Chicago's Finest for double parking to capture a great shot. During the reception, he literally "danced" the camera with us to capture the dance floor activities of the celebration. After the ceremony, relatives and friends would consistently say three things to us consistently- the wedding was really nice; the food was really good; and that photographer worked his butt off To say that the photos were excellent does not do them justice. They were more than that- they were beautiful; they were fascinating; Perhaps most, they captured the moments of our wedding in a way that only Adrian's creative mind's eye ever could. As we shared the photos with others, at least two other attendees immediately contacted Adrian and subsequently contracted with him to cover their wedding. Adrian's talents in photography were more than we could have ever expected, and were truly a blessing on our wedding.

Adrian is an amazing photographer. His professionalism and work ethic is something to marvel at! I was first introduced to his line of work through a friend who insisted I use either himself or brother. I emailed him through his website and within 24 hours received an email with his availability and a price quote. My fiancé and I went to his office (which by the way is AMAZING) in the south loop, and fell in love with not only Adrian himself but also his remarkable work. He showed us different work he had done ranging from weddings to birthday parties, bat mitzvahs, engagements, restaurants, etc. His pictures were everything we wanted and looked for in our wedding. His style of photography is authentic. He captured moments that were real, not just those we “posed” for. One of my favorite pictures from the hundreds we loved portrays husband and myself with a similar expression on our faces. It was hilarious because for some reason we were both frowning. In addition, Adrian was nice enough to make several accommodations for us including the time change, meeting place, and location of photo shoot. Not only is his work great, but his partners in photography such as Calin and Antonella were remarkable too! When Adrian had to leave for another wedding, Calin took over as well as Antonella to finish the wedding for us. We chose the 12-hour package and was worth every dime. The album we chose has no words to describe!! The cover alone is a conversation starter. Made of silk and stretched to fit the entire page, our beautiful wedding is displayed on the cover page of our album on our coffee table for all to see. Adrian is a great person, and now a friend. I would recommend him over anyone I know.

What ISN'T there to say about THE ADRIAN NASTASE!!! Well, I would like to say that we absolutely LOVED working with Adrian Nastase. It was a pleasure. He is a professional photographer. He work is flawless, creative, unique, and artistic, to say the least. He made us feel very comfortable as we were taking pictures. We have the most beautiful and breath-taking photo albums. His work is truly amazing and if you visit his website, you'll get a slight taste of what he does. He kept in touch with us while we were working with him, finished our albums in a timely manner, and was prompt to accommodate our very busy schedules. He has great ideas, and is always there when you don't expect it, ready to flash and catch every moment, not missing a beat of your special day. We wouldn't change one thing about our experience with him and have referred him to our friends and family. My brother, sister, and cousins have worked with Adrian as well and they have all fell in love with his work. Everyone who has seen our photo albums and pictures have expressed how incredibly amazing and gorgeous they look. People say that our pictures should be posted in a magazine. We thank him for his hard work and dedication, and for doing his best to make our most special day as memorable as could be. Please visit www.adrainnastase.com and click "crina lui minu", to view some of our wedding pictures that are posted up on his personal website. I'm sure you'll love them too!!!! .
