CHICAGO-BASED WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
Traditional Wedding Photography + Modern Content Creation
for the Intentional, Legacy-Minded Couple
With over eight years of experience in the wedding industry, I approach each celebration with a discerning eye for detail and a deep respect for the relationships at its core. I believe the most meaningful images are created when moments are unrushed and genuinely lived.
On a wedding day, I offer a calm, steady presence — creating space for joy to unfold naturally while every detail is thoughtfully preserved. The result is imagery that feels effortless, emotive, and timeless, capturing not just how your day looked, but how it truly felt.
My work blends traditional, timeless wedding
photography with modern content creation,
capturing your day in a way that feels both
elevated and deeply personal.

ARTFUL APPROACH
to purposeful wedding day imagery
The photographs from your wedding will be the only concrete thing that outlive your most meaningful day. I strive to be the set of eyes throughout your day that capture all of the little moments, allowing your love to live on for generations to come.
To protect the experience, I accept a limited number of commissions each year, allowing for intentional collaboration from the planning process all the way through album design.
DELIVERED ON EVERY PROMISE

As your Guided posing expert, I don't ask you to "act natural." I provide sophisticated, structured guidance. My background in education taught me that confidence comes from structure, not pressure. That's why I use a system of prompts that offer clear, gentle direction that transforms nerves into natural confidence. Practice during your engagement session. Poise on your wedding day.

A WEDDING EXPERIENCE
Chicago is a city full of texture, personality, and contrast—and your wedding photos should feel the same way. From historic architecture and modern venues to quiet streets and iconic views, this city offers endless inspiration. But what matters most isn’t the backdrop—it’s the people standing in front of the camera.
As your Chicago wedding photographer, I focus on creating an experience where you feel comfortable being yourselves. That means less forced posing and more gentle guidance. Less perfection, more presence. I want you to look back at your photos and remember how it felt, not just how it looked.
