We're professional photographers that have migrated to Chicago via New York and San Francisco. When we began our Chicago wedding photography business, we were pioneers in the fine art wedding photojournalism movement. We have slowly and carefully added talented wedding photojournalists to our group.
Services
We believe we have the best careers in the world! Check out this job description: every week we get the opportunity to spend time with happy people celebrating a great moment of their lives. It's an honor to spend our days sharing in the love and making memories that will live for generations. For us it's more than making pretty pictures, or strictly documenting family history. It's about capturing the anticipation, jubilance and pure energy of a moment. And frankly, it's about interpreting our client's weddings artfully.

We have nothing but amazing things to say about Michael and the end results! The pictures are absolutely stunning and Michael was able to capture the day perfectly. His sense of humor played well with our wedding party and he worked flawlessly with the videographer the entire day. He does a great job at getting people in the right place and makes sure he gets the right shot. We can't recommend him enough!

My husband and I were truly overwhelmed by Nick's talent, calm demeanor, and overall organization on wedding day. We, along with our family's, thrived off of his consistent humor and lightheartedness throughout the day. For two people that aren't quite used to "photoshoots", he made us feel incredibly comfortable and it came across in our photos. We could not picture our wedding day without him there.
He truly went above and beyond in every aspect, helping out and organizing wherever he was needed! We are so happy with all of our photos, and will be sure to continue using Gerber + Scarpelli in future life events!

Our wedding photos are STUNNING! Nick Gerber is such an easy-going and fun person that he made our wedding day perfect. He captured the best moments of our special day, he made sure everyone was where the needed to be in order for pictures to move smoothly and organized. Our wedding photos will forever let us relive the most special day in our lives and I am so grateful to have had such a talented photographer! Thank you Nick and the whole Gerber and Scarpelli team!

Gerber and Scarpelli are simply AMAZING! Working with Mike Scarpelli and Belen was truly a wonderful experience. They are extremely talented and have an ability to capture stunning detail and raw emotion in each of their photographs. They are extremely professional and fun to work with. We couldn't be happier with our photographs and would highly, highly recommend them to anyone looking for gorgeous photographs that will truly capture every detail of their wedding day!

From start to finish, working with Gerber + Scarpelli was great. My husband and I had such a good feeling in our first meeting Nick (our main photographer for engagement and wedding pics). It was an easy decision to book G+S, and we are so happy we did. Our engagement and wedding photos are everything we had hoped for and more. Frank also photographed our wedding - he and Nick made such a great team.
They were easygoing, fun, and funny.and awesome at their work! There are some vendors you may actually miss after the big day just because you enjoy their company that much. Gerber + Scarpelli are in that category.

I was VERY impressed with my photography experience with Gerber + Scarpelli. Nick & Belen photographed my wedding and I couldn't be happier with the results. I would use Gerber + Scarpelli again and again and have recommended them to friends and family. They produce absolutely stunning photography! Thank you!

We met the Orange 2 crew and Nick Gerber through our wedding planner, and I cannot put in to words how wonderful it was to work with Nick Gerber for our November 2015 wedding. The professionalism and kindness that we experienced through the whole process even leading up to the wedding was more than we could have ever imagined. Nick and his team not only take the most beautiful photographs, but they are all fun and easy going.
It was a blast having them with us through the whole wedding day experience. Nick photographed our engagement photo's, our shower, and our wedding day and I could not imagine having our photographs taken by anyone else. We will definitely recommend Gerber + Scarpelli, Orange 2, and Nick Gerber for anyone looking for talented, professional, and fun photographers!

Kurt Gerber took my wife and I's family photos this past month and he did a great job. After a not-so-great experience with our wedding photographer, my wife was anxious to get some 1st anniversary photos in our new city of Chicago. He made us feel comfortable and produced our edited images quickly and efficiently back to us. Very professional and cool team of people.

We worked with Mike Scarpelli for our wedding this past September, he also did our engagement photos last January. We couldn't have been more pleased with the whole experience. He captured every special moment. The team was very efficient as we had little time at the church, he kept everyone moving. He was super receptive and attentive to special requests. We love all of our pictures, and have gotten so many complements on them! And we received them very quickly after the event!
