Why Wedding Photography Matters (and How to Choose the Right Photographer for You)

Your wedding day will be filled with once-in-a-lifetime moments: the deep breath before you walk down the aisle, the way your partner looks at you when you say “I do,” the quiet in-between glances when no one else is watching. These are the moments that deserve to be remembered—not just for today, but for every day after.

As a wedding photographer, my job isn’t just to capture how your day looked, but how it felt.


Your Love Story, Your Way

No two weddings are the same, and your photography experience shouldn’t be either. Whether you're planning a big celebration in downtown Chicago or an intimate gathering at a Lake County barn, I believe in meeting you right where you are—with curiosity, care, and a camera in hand.

I focus on capturing the in-between moments: the tear your mom wipes away, the deep breath your partner takes before they see you, and the wild joy of your people on the dance floor.


What to Look for in Your Wedding Photographer

When you’re choosing someone to document your wedding, here are a few things to consider:

  1. Style & Vibe – Look through full galleries to see if their work feels like you. Warm and romantic? Bold and editorial? Make sure you can see yourself in their images.
  2. Experience – Do they know how to handle tricky lighting, tight timelines, or unexpected weather? A seasoned photographer brings both creativity and calm to your day.
  3. Connection – You’ll spend more time with your photographer than almost anyone else on your wedding day. Make sure you feel comfortable, heard, and truly seen.


My Approach

When you work with me, you're not just hiring someone to snap photos—you're getting a steady presence, a timeline whisperer, a dress-fluffer, and a hype woman. I’ll guide you through natural posing, capture the spontaneous stuff, and help the whole day feel effortless.


From your engagement session to your final gallery, I’m here to support your story.
