Feel Like Yourself

Instead of rigid, step-and-repeat poses, we'll focus on capturing the raw emotions, subtle glances, and genuine laughs that show off your personalities.

Focus on the Party

I'll help you create a solid timeline & series of backup plans. That way you can stop stressing and focus on soaking up every second of your wedding.

Remember the Details

Photos and videos of the big moments are important, but those little, in-between moments? They're what you'll want to look back on decades from now.

Wedding Photographer + Videographer

Believe it or not, I didn't grow up day-dreaming about weddings.

Instead, I grew up on shaky home videos and weathered family albums—so I know how important it is to keep memories alive.

The problem? There are plenty of wedding photographers in Chicago that focus on trends over authenticity. That's why, in a world filled with filters + fads, I'm here to capture every real moment of your wedding day in a way that actually feels like you.

It all started with a good book...
