YOUR EXPERIENCE
matters

as much as your photos

Your wedding is so much more than a photoshoot. It's a celebration of your love, surrounded by your favorite people. You want both gorgeous, instagram-worthy images and an unforgettable party that you actually get to enjoy.




That’s why I put in the work before the big day - collaborating with you on your timeline, portrait locations, family photos, and the details that set us up for photos you’ll absolutely love.  


On your wedding day, I'm not just your photographer - I'm there to support you. Whether that means carrying your bouquet, making sure your dress looks perfect, calming any nerves, keeping everyone where they need to be, or cheering you on from behind the camera, I've got you every step of the way.


So when the day finally arrives, you can focus on sipping mimosas with your friends, trying not to cry through your vows, and soaking in every second of getting married!

You shouldn’t have to choose between beautiful images and being fully present

STEP 01

 

start here

Every story starts with a hello! Fill out my contact form and tell me a little about the two of you, your date, venue, and anything you're planning so far.



I'll send over more pricing details, answer any questions, and if it feels like we're the right fit, we'll schedule a time to chat.

STEP 02

save the date

Once you've found the collection that's right for you, securing your date is easy. A signed contract and retainer officially reserves your wedding on my calendar.


Now you can cross "find a photographer" off your wedding to-do list!

STEP 03

let's plan

As your wedding gets closer, we'll work through your timeline, portrait locations, family photo list, do a venue walk-through, and finalize anything else that helps the day flow better.



I'll be there to answer questions anytime, offer guidance or recommendations when you need it, and make sure we're set up for a smooth, stress-free wedding day so you're feeling excited as it approaches.

STEP 04

the big day

Today's the day!


Spend time with your people. Cry through your vows. Dance until your feet hurt.


You can relax knowing the details, emotions, and atmosphere will all be preserved with care.

STEP 05

relive it all

Within a week, you'll receive sneak peeks because I know waiting is the hardest part.


Once your full gallery is ready, you'll receive fully edited images to download, share, print, and enjoy for years to come.


My hope is that every time you open your gallery, it feels a little like stepping back into your wedding day.

Frequently Asked Questions

We feel awkward in front of the camera. Can you help?

Absolutely. Most of my couples tell me this before we meet! I'll guide you when it helps, give you plenty of prompts instead of rigid poses, and make sure you always know what to do with your hands while still leaving room for genuine moments to happen naturally.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should we book?

Popular spring, summer, and fall Saturdays tend to book the quickest, so I always recommend reaching out as soon as you've secured your venue. If your date is sooner, don't hesitate to inquire anyway - I'd love to see if I'm available!

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if it rains?

Chicago weather definitely keeps us on our toes! I'll always have a backup plan, whether that's bringing along clear umbrellas and just embracing the weather, adjusting timelines, or finding beautiful covered locations nearby.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if we're not planning a traditional wedding?

Of course. Not every love story follows the same timeline, and not every celebration looks the same. Plus while weddings are at the heart of what I do,   I also photograph proposals, engagements, couples, portraits, and branding sessions. If you're not sure where your plans fit, just reach out - we'll figure it out together.
