Agata Martinik Photography

I had an amazing experience with Agata for our engagement shoot! She spoke great in English and Polish, which made communication a breeze for my fiancé and me. The photos speak for themselves—they turned out bright, natural, and absolutely stunning. What made the shoot truly special was how comfortable she made us feel. She provided great direction while allowing us to be ourselves, resulting in authentic moments captured beautifully. Time flew by and now, she also knows what angles/poses look best for us so she can direct us on our wedding day. If you’re looking for a talented photographer who listens and makes the experience fun, I highly recommend Agata Martinik for any occasion!

We really enjoyed working with Agata and we were so happy with the finish project! Agata listened to our goals and vision, while also adding her expertise. At our wedding, she did a great job of keeping things moving along (especially since we were perpetually running behind schedule!). Our families loved her. Our engagement photo session was also a great chance for us to get to know each other and provide feedback before the wedding. She was also incredibly reasonably priced! Definitely would recommend.

Agata was absolutely amazing!! She made our wedding day a breeze and took out all the guess work for us. She knew all the perfect shots and her attention to detail is incredible. Even our lay-flats of the invites look straight out of a magazine! I cannot recommend her enough for the day of and engagement photos! She went above and beyond in every aspect. I do not think I could have handled all of my emotions and trying to take photos through them if it wasn’t for her support and patience. If you want the best photos possible and the best experience taking them you have to book with Agata! 😊😊

Agata is a great photographer! We used her for both our engagement session and wedding. She was fun to work with and made taking pictures an enjoyable experience! My husband and I never had any professional pictures taken but she was able to position/guide us to get the best pictures, she made us feel very comfortable. Also, it was cold and rainy on our wedding day but Agata was willing to brave the elements and still take pictures outside! I didn't get all the pictures I wanted but the weather was to blame. I highly recommend Agata and her work!

Agata is a wonderful person and an exceptional photographer. She did my maternity and wedding photos and spent a lot of time making sure we got a variety of shots and poses my husband and I wanted. She has great attention to detail and gave us photos we will cherish forever !

I would never recommend Agata as a photographer to anyone. She is the only vendor I wish I didn’t hire for our wedding. During our engagement shoot, she made racist comments and complained about her clients who weren’t white. Additionally, she was a terrible communicator and we had to wait months for our photos and the photos weren’t all edited even though we paid to receive all of them. She made our friends and family at the wedding feel uncomfortable because she was rude and demanding. I asked Agata to work with my wedding planner and my wedding planner told me she wouldn’t listen to her. Once we finally received our photos, she was supposed to give us a photo book and USB inside of a glass and gold box that we picked out and she didn’t even bother to tell us that the box wasn’t available anymore. Also, the photos in the photo box were not lined up with the pages properly. Her online photo albums are not password protected so I accidentally saw someone else’s maternity photos which had nudity. Thankfully, we did get some good photos but there were many photos I requested that she didn’t take. Overall, she was completely unprofessional, she had a terrible attitude, and she did not openly communicate with us.

Agata was our top choice for wedding photography and we could not be any happier with our photos! I highly recommend working with Agata as your photographer for any special day! She is a truly talented professional. She goes above and beyond to capture the perfect moments and pays such close attention to detail. Her work captures such timeless elegance and photos turn out beautiful! During our wedding, Agata made sure we felt comfortable in front of the camera, was so positive, humorous, and a great time to work with! The photos show how detail oriented she is in such a light, airy style!

Agata is the most wonderful photographer. Her personality makes her personable, social, and sweet. She was the perfect addition to our wedding vendors as she had so many ideas and captured our wedding and engagement beautifully. Her style stands out against others because her photos are real in-the-moment and soft.

If you are looking for a photographer I 100% guarantee you agata is the one for you! She is so easy to work with and her pictures are literally amazing. She captured every single moment at our wedding and I couldn't be happier! I'm so so so happy and grateful I found her.

Agata was so fun and great to work with! She is very responsive when scheduling times for photos or asking any question under the sun! Neither my now hubby nor I had ever taken professional photos before, but Agata made us feel so comfortable and let us be ourselves at the engagement shoot. This made us so excited to have her come back and photograph our wedding day! She's directive, has a great sense of humor and her photos are edited to be so delicate and light (a style we really enjoy). We couldn't ask for a better experience! Thank you so much, Agata!

I seriously cannot express enough how incredible Agata is. From the moment she walked in the door I felt like she knew us. Whether you know exactly what you want or not a clue she will capture all of your special moments exactly how you envision. She has an incredible eye for detail. By the end of the night I felt like she was a part of our friend/family circle. I can't imagine having anyone else for the best day of my life. Forever grateful for my experience with her.

Agata took photos of my bridal shower and she did a phenomenal job! She was amazing to work with, the photos all came out beautiful and she delivered them quickly. 10/10 would work with Agata again.

Agata took really lovely photos of our July 24th wedding in 2021. We have gotten so many compliments on them! We appreciated how "ready" she was with different poses/ideas/angles, etc. because we're both a bit camera shy. There was a torrential downpour right as we were about to go take our bridal party pics; despite this, Agata pivoted and we made the most of it and got great shots! The photo album that we got to help make when the photos were ready, turned out very well too. Great competitive pricing as well!

Agata photographed our September 2021 wedding at Hotel Arista in Naperville, IL, and I would totally recommend her! I found Agata on a whim one night while scrolling through the ~wedding internet~ (aka The Knot, WeddingWire, general googling). She had great reviews and was exactly in our hoped-for price range (super reasonable for what we got!) The initial meeting with her sealed the deal and we booked Agata for both an engagement shoot and 8 hours on our wedding day. Before our engagement shoot, I was so nervous that I would hate the way I looked in pictures and that no amount of editing would work (#bridebrain) but when we met Agata it was instantly comfortable, full of laughs and full of confidence. I brought my maid of honor/sister with us to the engagement shoot and Agata was intentional about building a relationship with her that day to make wedding day even easier with my sister as a point person! When we received the engagement photos, we absolutely loved how beautifully Agata captured our love! Between that shoot and wedding day, Agata was the best hype woman on Instagram and through text! Her social posts during that time also gave us higher and higher confidence in our decision to work with her! With as hectic as wedding days can be, Agata was always flexible, happy, and generally just so nice to be around/spend time with. She did such an amazing job handing my #bridebrain (that lasted after the wedding hence my review being submitted after 4 months, sorry Agata!) Communication with Agata was always seamless and the entire experience from start to finish was 10/10. Highly highly recommend!

Agata was AMAZING! Our photos were one of the most important aspect of our day. Agata was attentive, knowledgeable and calm during our day. She was very experienced and professional. She did such a wonderful job capturing our day. We are so grateful for her hard work! You won’t regret booking her!

Agata is a great photographer! She was our second photographer at our wedding and I enjoyed working with her. Her pictures were beautiful. She was quick to send me a preview of our wedding pictures. I’d highly recommend her! I’m looking forward to working with her next year on my maternity and newborn photo shoots!

Agata is an awesome photographer. I wouldn't take the risk of using anyone other than the best for the wedding so that's why I recommend Agata

It was great working with Agata. She did our engagement and wedding photos and they came out great! She was extremely professional and creative the whole time but we felt as if we have been friends for ages. Everyone loved her photos and a couple of our guests even asked for her contact info. She had everything under control and was a pleasure to have around at the wedding. We will definitely hire her for holiday and baby photos!

My wife and I recently worked with Agata for our wedding photos, and I have nothing but great things to say! Agata created a relaxed and stress free environment from the start and made the whole experience fun and enjoyable. Agata is an experienced professional and an amazing photographer. We loved our pictures and she helped us capture one of the happiest times in our lives! I highly recommend Agata and the next time I need a photographer, she will be the first one I call!

I can't say enough GREAT things about Agata! She was absolutely fabulous to work with. She was very communicative prior to the wedding and answered all questions making me feel very prepared and comfortable for the big day. On wedding day she was so fun and enjoyable to work with, I knew even before seeing the pictures that were going to turn out wonderfully. You won't be disappointed hiring Agata for your wedding!

I couldn’t ask for better photographer. Agata is great! My husband and I love our wedding photos. She captured great moments that we will admire for a life time. She is very kind and so professional the overall service was awesome. I will book her again for sure. Highly recommend!

Agata shot my wedding and she was wonderful! She’s so creative with her shots and did such a beautiful job capturing our day. Some of the action shots from the reception are my favorite pictures ever! She is a great photographer and all around great person to work with!

Agata is an awesome photographer. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, we loved her approach and posing. She's super friendly, worked out all matters that were important to us and right now we have the most beautiful pictures and album we could ever wish for! She's truly the best!

When we started planning our wedding finding a good photographer was one of my biggest problems. We interviewed a few but it seemed that they were not interested in our opinion and pushing their own ideas. I was helpless. And then we met Agata. She was not only kind and very professional, but also listened to all of our concerns and priorities for the big day. She walked us through the process so knew what to expect. And the experience itself? Amazing! Everything went smoothly and pictures turned out even better than we expected! Thank you Agata for capturing our special day for us!

Agata did an amazing job! We would recommend her 100%. She was very professional, friendly, hard working, and just a great person. With her expertise and a big smile she helped me and the whole wedding party relax and enjoy our special day. We had a blast shooting pictures! From the start we knew what to expect from our photographer. She stayed in touch and followed up from the moment we first met. She was very responsive. We were pleasantly surprised to see picks the very next day! We love our wedding photos!

I love Agata. She work hard on my wedding day long day she is profesional nice awsome girl. We love cher. She is sweet and funny 😍😍😍

We are IN LOVE with the photos Agata took of our wedding. She is an incredible photographer and everything about the whole process was great! Agata took time to understand our preferences and what we were looking for. She was very responsive and straightforward. She is easy going and great to work with. On the wedding day she was very reliable and fun to be around. She made us feel natural and relaxed. We love, love, love our photos and highly recommend Agata.

There aren’t enough words to describe how happy we were with Agata. Especially living in NYC and having a wedding in Chicago, she was able to accommodate both of our busy schedules. Agata was able to capture the intimate moments during our magical and hectic day. From the getting ready moments, our first took and ceremony, all the way to the dance floor moves at the reception. Skilled, creative, and amazing vision ! Thank you so much for capturing our special day and making a lasting memories through your natural talent.

We hired Agata for our wedding. She is highly professional, very organized and creative photographer. It was a pleasure to work with her. She made our special day less stressful! The hardest time we had was trying to choose our favorite photos, because there were just so many amazing shots!

We had our wedding photos taken on Sat Oct 19th by Agata . We absolutely LOVED her !!! She was very professional and pure pleasure to work with .Her attitude and enthusiasm won the hearts of our guests who called me to say she was absolutly fantastic. I would highly recommend Agata as a photographer for any of your occasion

I would highly recommend Agata as a photographer for any event. She is very talented and will go above and beyond to get the most beautiful pictures. My family members have done newborn and family photo shoots with Agata and have had gorgeous photos. Personally, I had my engagement photo session done with Agata at a local outdoor venue. She worked with our crazy schedules to get the best possible natural lighting for our outdoor photo shoot. From the start, it was extremely easy communicating with Agata. She was quick at responding to messages and it was easy to get our questions answered. Agata was even able to recommend several amazing outdoor locations to choose from for our photo shoot. She went above and beyond by even recommending a make-up artist for me to go to when I didn't know of any in the area. As far as our photos -- I AM ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE! Agata worked fast to return our pictures to us. It was really hard to choose a few that I really liked because they all turned out amazing. I am not a photogenic person and usually dread how I look in pictures! Agata was able to make me feel beautiful in the pictures and capture all the right angles. I couldn't wait to send out save the dates with our session pictures. I even ordered canvases to hang up around the house with our pictures from the session with Agata. Of note, Agata always goes above and beyond to make her customers happy. She made us feel really comfortable during our dreadfully cold photo shoot and captured us in our best moments. She arranged us in poses that look natural and I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. There were even some pictures that she customized with edits to give us more options. I would HIGHLY recommend her for any of your photography needs.

I’m so happy I’ve chosen Agata to be my wedding photographer, she was amazing! She knew exactly what to do and how, was fast and precise. I absolutely loved those pictures! She could truly capture a moment. I would definitely recommend her!

I couldn't be happier with this wedding photographer! She arrived early and prepared. Agata was very creative, fun, professional and friendly. She was open to suggestions but also gave her expertise. The pictures were better than I would have ever expected. I'll gladly refer her anytime!
