Chicago Wedding Photographer
Storyteller & Craftsman
I'm Peter Gubernat; a storyteller.
I'm a Chicago wedding photographer specializing in documentary photography and epic wedding portraits. I combine my background in wedding photojournalism with a love for unique, fresh and beautiful wedding photography. I want to give you a mix of candid moments and art you can hang in your home. Though based in Chicago, I travel the country and the world for several weddings a year. I balance my documentary style wedding photography with a relationship based approach that allows me to capture amazing wedding portraits and candid wedding photos. Most importantly I want you to know that your wedding should not feel like a photoshoot and you should have fun while letting the events of the day unfold. Read more about my approach and style here and on my Chicago wedding photography portfolio!

Be Real
The right mix of professional and personal. I can be serious or goofy and strike up a conversation to make everyone comfortable. I’m outstanding at making sure everyone and everything important is photographed. I always tell a story – I try to create powerful and emotional images that bring you to that moment each and every time. I know how important candid moments are but also love traditional photos (family formals) because grandmas love to see you smile. It’s about being real and having real moments photographed.
When you’re having fun and are at your best, surrounded by friends and family; this is my time to be a storyteller and to document your wedding. This is my time to give you images that no one else can.

Chicago Wedding Venues I’ve Photographed
I have photographed a lot of wedding in Chicago, some of the venues include: Holy Name Cathedral, Arrowhead Golf Club, Germania Place, Promontory Point, Osteria Via Stato, City View Loft, The Intercontinental Hotel, The Chicago History Museum, and The Columbus Park Refectory. For me, personally, I love walking into a brand new venue and solving the lighting challenges which the venue offers. This allows me to be pretty creative and give my couples incredible images that no one else will take!
Chicago Wedding Photographers
In my work, I have two very distinct intentions: the first, creating images which don’t need explanation; where the story, moment, and emotion is clear and powerful. The second are photos which are unique and original. Photos which no one else can give you! I’m inspired by and for my couples and want to create creative wedding photos motivated by who they are and who they want to be.
Wedding days provide a unique opportunity to do both when you’re at your best; with everyone you care about in the world. I feel very lucky you’ve come across my work, and I do hope we can work together. I’m proudly based in Chicago, but available travel world wide.
