The Experience
present for the moments that matter
your people + your traditions artfully remembered
Your wedding photographs will hold more than how the day appeared, they will bring you back to how it felt: from the energy in the room to the small moments you did not know anyone noticed.
the promise
YOU DESERVE TO FEEL FULLY SEEN
You do not need to know how to post or perform for the camera. My work begins with getting to know you: your history, your style, the people who matter most, and the traditions that make this celebration yours.
I bring an editorial eye, a documentarian instinct, and a calm presence to every wedding. The result is photographs that feel elevated without feeling over-produced—images that holds the beauty, energy, and unmistakeable truth of your day.
What it feels like to work together
1/ GUIDED, NEVER STIFF
Clear, flattering direction for portraits that still leaves room for movement, laughter, and the way you naturally are together.
2/ ORGANIZED, NEVER RUSHED
Thoughtful support with timelines, family photographs, engagement planning, and vendor collaboration so you can stay focused on the people around you.
3/ PRESENT, NEVER INTRUSIVE
An observant, calm presence for the big moments, quiet reactions, and beautiful things happening when you are too busy living them to notice.
COLLECTIONS + PRICING
Coverage for the way you are celebrating.
No two weddings unfold the same way. Some are quick courthouse vows followed by dinner with your closest people; some take over an entire day; others are a full weekend of rituals, reunions, outfits, speeches, and dance floors.
Coverage is shaped around the celebration you are actually having—not a one-size-fits-all package.
City Hall
Starting at $1,100
Small ceremony. Big feeling. A record of the part that matters.
For the couples keeping it simple—courthouse vows, a walk around the city, a few portraits, and a meaningful meal afterward. This is for documenting the beginning without turning it into a production.
Intimate Weddings
Starting at $2,000
Less production. More presence.
For celebrations with a smaller guest list and a shorter rhythm: restaurant rooms, backyards, private homes, small venues, and days centered on being with the people closest to you.
Full-Day Weddings
Starting at $4,000
The whole room. The whole feeling. The whole story.
For a wedding day with room to unfold—getting ready, ceremony, portraits, family photographs, cocktail hour, toasts, dancing, and all the in-between moments that make the day feel like yours.
Multi-Day Celebrations
Starting at $7,500
For all the parts that deserve to be remembered—not just the main event.
For weddings that extend beyond one day: welcome dinners, cultural or religious ceremonies, tea ceremonies, rehearsal gatherings, multiple outfits or locations, after-parties, and weekends where the story is bigger than one event.
Kind words
the process
01 - CONNECTION
we begin with what matters to you.
After you inquire we will talk about your celebration, priorities, and the photographs you want to remember most. i will send a tailored proposal built around your coverage needs.
03 - celebration
you stay present, i preserve
on the wedding day, i move between artful direction and quiet observation. we will make time for beautiful portraits, then leave room for the emotion, movement, traditions, and unscripted moments that cannot be recreated.
02 - preparation
the best wedding experience begins well before the wedding day
Once you are booked, I am there as a resource. We will plan your engagement session, photography timeline, family-photo list, and the details that help the day move with ease.
04 - legacy
photographs made to live beyond the day
You will receive a preview gallery shortly after the wedding, followed by a carefully edited online gallery that tells the full story. Your images are ready to download, share, print, and turn into an heirloom album.
wedding faqs
-
As soon as you have a date and venue—or even a strong estimate of both. Popular dates can book well ahead, especially during peak wedding season, but it is always worth asking about availability.
-
Yes. Engagement sessions are included with wedding collections that include eight or more hours of coverage. They can also be added to shorter collections. They are a great chance for us to work together before the wedding and make the camera feel less like a stranger on the day.
-
Absolutely. You will not be left wondering what to do. I offer relaxed direction that keeps you connected to each other rather than stiff or overly posed. The goal is not to make you look like someone else; it is to make you feel comfortable enough to look like yourselves.
-
For wedding collections with eight or more hours of coverage, yes.
I bring a second photographer who is a full-time wedding photographer in their own right—someone I trust to work with care, good judgment, and an eye for the real moments happening around us. While I stay close to you and the shape of the day, they help hold the rest of the room: another angle during the ceremony, the people seeing you for the first time, cocktail-hour conversations, and moments unfolding in two places at once.
For shorter celebrations, we can decide together whether a second photographer makes sense.
-
Yes. For weddings outside the Chicago area, travel is quoted separately and outlined clearly in your custom proposal before you book. Depending on the location and schedule, this may include mileage, lodging, airfare, and ground transportation.
Tell me where you are celebrating and what the weekend looks like, and I will let you know whether I am available to join you.
