As a husband-and-wife photography team, we're passionate about telling the unique story of each couple, and our cinematic, colorful, and heartfelt approach has earned us a reputation as one of the top wedding photographers in Chicago and beyond.
Our Story
As photographers, we draw creative inspiration from our own life story, photojournalists, painters, period romances, rom-coms, cinema, travel, national parks, faith, and our families. With over 16 years of experience and over 500 delighted couples under our belt, we've refined our craft to capture the essence of your wedding day in a way that's both authentic and visually stunning.
Our Services
Our comprehensive photography services include:
- Wedding photography, with a focus on capturing the decisive moment, lovely light, and well-crafted composition
- Engagement sessions, designed to help you relax and feel comfortable in front of the camera
- Family and newborn photography, with an emphasis on capturing the beauty and wonder of these precious moments
- Handcrafted albums and heirlooms, designed to treasure your memories for generations to come
Our Approach
As a documentary photographer, I'm committed to being fully present and engaged on your wedding day, using my experience and expertise to create meaningful and genuine images that tell your unique story. I'll work closely with you to understand your vision and goals, and provide gentle guidance and direction to help you feel relaxed and natural in front of the camera.
Our Style
My photographic style is characterized by natural color, cinematic flair, and intentional composition. I'm obsessed with capturing the perfect balance of light, moment, and design in every image. And because I believe that your photos should stand the test of time, I avoid trendy filters and fads, opting instead for a timeless, elegant aesthetic that will look just as beautiful in 20 years as it does today.
