I kid you not, for EVERY wedding that I have booked my couples have all mentioned the exact same thing to me for why they chose to book with me: I capture the real, candid, special moments that matter most to them.
I will tell you straight-up, my style has never included a whole lot of posed, stiff images. If you look through my work, you'll see that I love to showcase joy, excitement, wonder, and all of the other emotions that surround you during your remarkable day. I'm constantly on the search for the faces of your family and friends as you walk down the aisle. I'm dancing with grandma and grandpa to get some adorable shots of them living it up on the dance floor. I'm making connections with guests, and I'm working all throughout the day to make even the most shy clients comfortable in front of the camera so that I can capture their most raw, true selves.
If you're looking for a photographer who will freeze time in the most joyful moments of your day for you to look back on forever, I'm your gal. I'd love to schedule a call with you to go over your unique vision, so send a message my way to get your planning process started!

I'm based out of the Chicago suburbs and love to travel, whether that's a quick drive to a bordering state or a flight abroad! Weddings outside of a 50-mile radius of me, or outside of Illinois may incur additional fees to account for transportation + lodging expenses, if applicable.

I believe the best way to ensure a stress-free wedding day is careful, intentional planning leading up to the event. Every one of my packages includes your own custom timeline consultation, where 1-2 months before your wedding date, we'll sit down (over coffee or through Zoom) to deep-dive into your day-of timeline from getting ready to reception. I'll work with you to curate a shot list and photo inspiration, and together we'll craft a "gameplan" for the day to make sure you get all of your dream photos captured (and then many, many more)!

I highly encourage clients to share their ideas with me, no matter how grand or out-there they may seem at first. It's YOUR day, so let's make your vision happen! I'll share my advice, tips and tricks to design a seamless, well-thought-out timeline that will make room for photographing all of the special details. If you are working with a wedding planner or day-of coordinator, I'll collaborate with them to ensure plans are aligned and your day can be spent focusing on YOU (we'll take care of everything else)!

My typical turnaround time for a wedding gallery is around 6-8 weeks. This is because I take time to personally cull through and edit EVERY photo that I take, without AI assistants or special software. Your gallery, delivered to you via on online gallery link where you can download all of your images, is designed with lots of love and is carefully curated by me to share the story of your unique day. For this reason, I do not offer expediting services for wedding galleries.
When your receive your gallery link, you'll be able to download all the photos to your computer as well as order prints from my online shop! I HIGHLY recommend investing in an external hard drive to store your photos and keep them safe away from the other files on your personal computer or laptop.

The number of photos you receive in your online gallery will depend on the package that fits best for you. For an 8-hours coverage wedding (the most popular choice), you will receive at least 650 fully-edited, high resolution images. However, I will never gatekeep a beautiful image from you if I believe it contributes to the storytelling of your album, and often include many more photos than promised.

Second shooters can play an important role in capturing your day. They serve to snap alternate angles, details and moments throughout the day that I'm not always able to get alone. They also act as assistants throughout the day, and are able to help both me and you with anything needed throughout the day.
Second shooters help to make the day go smoothly, and provide tremendous value to your overall photos. For your convenience, my 6+ hour wedding packages all include a second shooter-- I have a list of trusted photographers who will join me to photograph your love story! Second shooters for short weddings and elopements are also available upon request for an additional fee.
