Beatriz and Noel exchanged vows at the historic Cook County Courthouse in downtown Chicago, surrounded by their closest family members.
After their ceremony, they made their way to the University of Chicago for portraits among the campus's timeless architecture and quiet courtyards. The afternoon felt relaxed and intimate, filled with genuine moments, soft laughter, and the excitement of beginning their next chapter together.
Simple, meaningful, and full of love.

Allie & Marcel

Allie and Marcel’s wedding day took place at Elske in Chicago, an intimate late summer celebration in the West Loop.
They exchanged vows in the restaurant’s courtyard in front of the outdoor fireplace, with warm August light around them. Surrounded by close friends and family, the moment felt quiet, personal, and meaningful.
Upstairs, guests gathered for dinner and celebrated late into the evening.
Refined but relaxed. Soft and intentional.

Fun, romantic, and beautifully alive.
Love Letters From Clients
Photographing weddings across Chicago and beyond with a creative, story-driven approach.
Dream locations
There are a few places that especially inspire me. These venues and landscapes have beauty, character, and a feeling that naturally fits the way I love to photograph.
Each year, I reserve a limited number of destination dates in these locations where couples cover travel accommodations in place of a standard wedding collection.
I approach these celebrations with the same care and attention I bring to every wedding I photograph. Current locations include:
Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum — Milwaukee, WI
Race & Religious — New Orleans, LA
Belle Meade Historic Site & Winery — Nashville, Tennessee
Swan House- Atlanta, GA
V. Sattui Winery— St. Helena, CA
The Biltmore Estate — Asheville, NC
If your wedding is planned in one of these locations, I’d love to hear more about your plans and share availability.
Romantic, art-inspired photography that feels emotional and true to life
Capturing the moments that made your day feel beautifully yours
So you have a few questions…
-
Wedding galleries are delivered within 6–8 weeks.
This allows me to carefully edit each image so your final gallery feels cohesive, polished, and true to your day.
-
I do not deliver RAW files.
RAW images are unedited and do not reflect the final artistry of my work. Every gallery is thoughtfully edited to match the style and quality you see throughout my portfolio.

Yes. I love traveling for weddings and sessions.

Your date is officially reserved once a signed contract and retainer are received. Because I take on a limited number of weddings each year to ensure an intentional experience for every couple, I recommend reaching out as soon as you know your date.
-
Yes. I’m happy to assist with building a photography timeline that allows your day to flow naturally while ensuring we capture everything that matters most. From lighting guidance to ceremony timing, I’ll help you feel prepared and at ease.
For my Key and Pendant collections, timeline planning includes a dedicated in-person or video meeting where we walk through your day in detail and design a schedule that feels seamless, intentional, and relaxed.
-
Once your date is selected, a signed contract, retainer, and questionnaire officially holds your spot and gives me everything I need to start planning with you.
About a month before your wedding, we’ll connect to go over your timeline, details, and anything you want captured so everything feels intentional and fully planned.
From there, I stay in touch leading up to your day, and we’ll reconnect about 48 hours beforehand to confirm final details and make sure everything feels clear and easy.
After your wedding, I carefully go through your images, selecting the ones that best reflect the feeling of the day.
Each image is then edited with intention and consistency to match my style. Wedding galleries are delivered within 6–8 weeks.

Your gallery is thoughtfully curated to reflect the full feeling of your day, not just a checklist of moments.
