WEDDINGS & ENGAGEMENTS

A word from
Photography is not merely my profession—it is the quiet fire that animates my days. Above all else, I am drawn to the radiant joy of people bathed in beautiful light, framed by moments and places that feel almost too perfect to be real. My lens seeks truth in the unguarded instant: the spontaneous laughter that escapes unbidden, the stolen glance between lovers, the soft exhale of wonder. I work as a silent storyteller, weaving photojournalism’s honest pulse with the gentle artistry of creative portraiture.
Rather than coaxing posed perfection, I wait for life to reveal itself—raw, unrehearsed, alive. After years of listening to the rhythm of celebrations, I’ve learned exactly when to press the shutter: not to freeze a smile that never quite reached the eyes, but to cradle the fleeting, authentic heartbeat of a moment forever. That is where the real magic lives—and that is the kind of magic I chase, wedding after wedding, heart after heart.

WHY CHOOSE US
PROFESSIONALISM
- We take pride in the professionalism we have, and like to provide to all of our clients.
- We give free consultations and take into account everyone’s thoughts and suggestions.
PUNCTUALILTY
- As a professor of mine once said “if you can’t be on time, be early.” I try to live by that rule in professional and personal life.
- The last surprise a couple needs on their wedding day is for vendors to run late or not show up.
- I get to every photo-shoot early and make sure everyone involved is calm and relaxed.
FLEXIBILITY
- Considering that we live in the Chicagoland area where the weather is very spontaneous, it’s only natural to reschedule and postpone photo-shoots.
- There are no extra charges for rescheduling, regardless of the reason.
WE LOVE YOUR INPUT
- I don’t believe that there is such a thing as a bridezilla.
- Only women/couples who know exactly what they want from their wedding or engagement photos.
- And because it is your wedding day, not mine, I like to hear what you want and any ideas and thoughts for photos are welcome.
CREATIVITY
- Most photos are done with a photojournalistic point of view, however, for weddings I also like to have the traditional, staged family photos.
- You do have a final say in what kind of style photography you like.
- I do like to have most candid and artistic styles, but it’s your wedding and we’d like your input.
CARING
- Having been a bride myself, I know the importance of the wedding day and everything leading up to it.
- I want to be certain that you get everything you wanted for that day.
Preserving Timeless Memories from Lincoln Park to Cantigny Gardens and The Arboretum
Your wedding day stands as one of life’s most cherished milestones, and I’m dedicated to making its photographic legacy truly exceptional—seamless, relaxed, and focused entirely on the moments that matter most. On this profoundly meaningful day, your only responsibility is to be fully present, savor every joy, and let go of any concerns about the photography.
I’ll be there to thoughtfully document every precious detail: the delicate touches of your attire, the artistry of the table settings, the genuine emotions shared among your guests, and all the little things that make the day uniquely yours. Each photograph will become a lasting treasure—crafted with care to evoke the same warmth and wonder years from now, ready for you to revisit, cherish, and one day pass down to your children and grandchildren.
Perfect Engagement Photos in the Location You Love Most
Your engagement photos hold nearly the same significance as your wedding images—they’ll grace your save-the-dates, wedding website, and quite possibly your invitations, so getting them just right really matters. One of the biggest decisions is picking the perfect backdrop, and Chicago delivers incredible options. You could embrace the vibrant urban energy of downtown with its iconic skyline and picturesque bridges, opt for the serene beauty of one of the city’s many parks, or head to the lakefront for stunning views across Lake Michigan.
Sessions typically run about 1.5 hours, and we can photograph at one location or move between a couple (time permitting) to capture variety. The full session is priced at $325, and you’ll receive your fully edited, high-resolution images—complete with full copyrights—within about two weeks. My style leans heavily toward natural, candid moments that feel authentic and effortless (that’s where I truly shine), while still including a handful of those timeless, classic poses you might want for your collection.
