experience &
investment
When we work together, I’m not just showing up with a camera. I bring care, calm, and deep respect for the energy of your day. I move intuitively, with quiet awareness: stepping in to guide and direct when needed, and stepping back to let moments happen. Nothing forced, nothing overly posed. Just you, fully present.
And at the heart of it all is trust. Because the most meaningful images come when you feel truly understood. I take the time to understand who you are - what moves you, what matters most - and let that shape the way I document your day. My process is unhurried and intuitive, embracing a balance of intentional direction and keen observation. I warmly embrace real connection and unfiltered emotion, while elevating the details that make your story yours with editorial flair.
I honor all love stories, celebrating diverse cultural and religious traditions, and embrace LGBTQ+ couples with love and respect. However you choose to celebrate, I’m here to tell your story in a way that feels true, beautiful, and entirely you. And together, we’ll create photographs filled with emotion, connection, and a deep sense of place. Timeless not for following trends, but for staying true to your story.
Rooted in purpose and presence, I approach each wedding with the eye of a cinematographer, the care of a friend, and the heart of a hopeless romantic.

A chance to slow down and create something meaningful together. These sessions are relaxed, unhurried, and shaped around the two of you - your dynamic, your story, the way you naturally move through the world. Without the pace of a wedding day, we have the freedom to explore, play, and to document your connection in a way that feels honest and entirely yours.

My signature wedding collection is created to document your special day with artistry and heartfelt care. This collection includes 10 hours of coverage and a second photographer to ensure each special detail and in-between moment is beautifully documented. Alongside digital coverage, you’ll also receive film images - rich, textural, and nostalgic. From timeline collaboration to thoughtful vendor guidance, I’ll be by your side in the lead-up and throughout the day. A complimentary engagement session is included in all of my packages to connect and create together before your wedding day.
Weddings & Elopements
Start by filling out my contact form to share a bit about your love story and wedding plans. I’ll then send over my Wedding Information Guide, full of details on my style, approach, pricing, and more, so you can gain insight into what it’s like to work together. From there, we’ll schedule a call to connect, dive deeper into your vision, and explore how I can best support your day. If you decide to move forward, I’ll send a personalized proposal with coverage details and the contract. A 25% deposit secures your date and officially locks it into my calendar!
Let's Connect
01
From curated guides to thoughtful questionnaires, we’ll collaborate on timelines, portraits, and the personal touches that make your day uniquely yours. We’ll also schedule your engagement session, creating space to connect, get comfortable in front of the camera, and capture this season of your life. About a month before the wedding, we’ll have a final check-in to ensure everything is aligned, so you feel calm, confident, and ready for what's to come.
Plan & Prepare
02
Your Wedding Day
On your wedding day, I move with quiet intention - present, but never intrusive. My role is to witness and preserve the real, unscripted moments as they unfold, while gently guiding you through portraits that feel natural, effortless, and true to who you are. Together, we’ll create space for both the big emotions and the quieter in-between images that reflect not just the events of the day, but the depth of your connection. Your gallery will be more than documentation: it will be a heartfelt narrative, woven with love, memory, and meaning that lasts.
03
Within one week of your wedding, you'll receive a sneak peek of some of the best moments captured. I know how eager you’ll be to relive those memories, so I always make sure you get a few highlights to enjoy while I perfect the rest of your gallery. Then, within six to eight weeks, your final gallery will be delivered! Beyond delivering your gallery, I'm also happy to help coordinate prints and offer my eye to design custom, heirloom wedding albums for my couples.

Editorial, With Heart
I blend the quiet authenticity of documentary photography with the refined artistry of editorial imagery. Candid moments unfold naturally, while portraits are subtly guided, resulting in images that feel effortless yet enduring.
A Tailored Experience
Every couple has a story uniquely their own, and I want to tell it with honesty, artistry, and reverence. No two stories are the same, and your photos should reflect that. I take the time to understand your vision, ensuring each image feels deeply personal and true to you.
Presence Over Perfection
Rather than staging moments, I document your day as it naturally unfolds, preserving it with honesty and artistry. I never fabricate scenes or disrupt the flow for the sake of a shot, ensuring every image reflects the true essence of your celebration.
my approach
Film invites presence, instinct, and intention. Each frame is carefully composed, resulting in images that feel lived-in, warm, and nostalgic. It’s an art form: a manual process that slows everything down in the most meaningful way. Your film is hand-shot, developed, and scanned locally by a professional lab. More than just additional coverage, it’s an investment in craft. The result is a soulful blend of softness, grain, and character - elevating the emotional depth of every moment captured.
film & why I love it
film captures things in a way digital simply can’t. There’s something so beautiful about its imperfections, the depth of its colors and tones, and the way it preserves the ephemeral with chemical permanence.
I know my approach isn’t for everyone, and that’s something I respect. If you're looking for picture-perfect smiles, curated trends with no heart, or see photography as just another task to get through - we might not be the best fit. And that’s okay. Because when the right people find each other, something truly special happens.
I approach this work as an art form, not a service to be rushed. My couples value photography not just for how it looks, but for how it makes them feel. The clients I connect with most are kind, curious, and intentional. They care about meaning, not just aesthetics. They have a personal style that is expressive, incorporate design-forward elements and details that tell a story, and aren't afraid to embrace the emotions of their day. Their wedding day is a reflection of who they are: thoughtful, creative, and always beautifully, unapologetically themselves.
If you're nodding along, feeling seen in these words, then chances are we’re meant to create something beautiful together.

Frequently asked questions
Q. How far in advance do you book weddings?
Most clients book 6-12 months out, but some book sooner and some later. The earlier you reach out, however, the more availability I’ll have.
Q. Do you travel outside of Chicago?
Of course! I love traveling and am particularly excited about destination weddings. When you fill out the contact form, please share your location and I will make it happen!
Q. What do I need to have finalized to book you?
All you need to book me is a wedding date and your venue finalized!
Q. Can we book engagement photos with you?
Of course! All of my wedding packages include a complimentary engagement session, which is a great way for us to get to know each other and for you to feel more at ease in front of the camera before your big day. That said, engagement photos are entirely optional—you don’t need to book a wedding package to schedule an engagement session, and having engagement photos is not a requirement to work with me.
Q. Can we do a payment plan?
Absolutely! When you book me I require a 25% deposit, but beyond that, payments can be broken up into a variety of plans!
Q. Do you help with the wedding day timeline?
Yes! I work closely with my couples and their vendor team to ensure the photography timeline flows smoothly and allows for both structured moments and natural spontaneity.
Q. Do you shoot on film?
Yes! Film brings a distinct sense of intention and nostalgia to your gallery. If you're curious about incorporating film into your coverage, I’m always happy to chat more and answer any questions you have!
