MORE THAN
HOW it LOOKED

Every wedding has its own rhythm: the energy, the people, the quiet moments in between. We’re there to capture it as it naturally unfolds, so you can remember not just how it looked, but how it felt.

Our Approach

YOU DON’T
HAVE to
PERFORM

We approach each wedding with a quiet awareness, creating space for you to feel present and at ease. We guide when needed, step back when it matters, and capture your day as it naturally unfolds.

The People Behind
Nicodem Creative

We’re Andrew, Marianne, and Tyler:
a Chicago-based team capturing weddings with a modern, yet timeless approach.

What connects us is a shared way of seeing: an appreciation for light, honest moments, and the feeling of being fully present. Andrew brings an intuitive, people-first energy shaped by his love for storytelling and connection. Marianne leads with care and intention, balancing creativity with a calm, grounded presence. Tyler adds a thoughtful, film-inspired perspective, always drawn to the in-between and the unexpected.

Together, we create work that feels personal, natural, and deeply connected to the people in front of the camera.

  • KIND WORDS

    “Working with Marianne and Andrew at Nicodem Creative has been one of the easiest and most exciting decisions we’ve made throughout our wedding planning. They photographed our engagement, and from the very beginning they made the experience feel effortless, comfortable, and completely natural. We were looking for photography that felt elevated, editorial, and timeless without ever feeling overly posed, and they captured exactly that. The photos feel incredibly personal to us while still having the polished, artistic quality we were hoping for.”

We feel so incredibly lucky to have had them by our side on our wedding day.”

By the end of the night, Andrew and the team knew all of our names and truly felt like part of the celebration. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail were unmatched.

    “Working with Andrew and Marianne was one of the very best decisions we made for our wedding. From the start, they made our experience incredibly personal—taking the time to understand our story, our life in Portland, and what mattered most to us. They brought those details to life in such a thoughtful and creative way, capturing not only the beauty of our day but the emotion and authenticity behind it. Throughout the entire process—from engagement photos to the wedding weekend—they were warm, professional, and fully present. They made us feel comfortable and at ease, allowing our personalities to shine through naturally. On our wedding day, Andrew blended seamlessly into the celebration while still managing to capture every moment, big and small. Our photos perfectly reflect the joy, love, and spirit of our day, and we will treasure them forever. ”
