After all the planning is done, the vows have been read, the cake has been eaten and you've danced your heart out, the only thing you're left to remember it all with is the photographs.

That’s exactly why I focus so strongly on not only creating beautiful portraits of you and your partner but also on documenting all the moments big and small.

I want you to be able to look back years later and remember who all was there, what it looked like and most importantly, what it felt like.

I approach the wedding day in a super intuitive way. I read the room, document like a fly on the wall (a lot of times you won’t even know I was around) but also step in when I see an opportunity to pose a group together or see a perfect moment that needs to be captured. I love getting to know my clients before wedding day rolls around so that I know that I’m capturing the wedding day in a way that feels true to you as a couple.

I always strive to be a calming yet fun addition to your wedding day. I’m there to hype you up and make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, keep us on schedule and I’ll even go out of the way to take care of anything that gets in our way.

Need me to handle a difficult family member? No problem. Direct your driver through Lower Wacker Drive? I’ve got it. Fix a potential wardrobe disaster? I literally have see and done it all.

With over 250 weddings under my belt, I’ve come to learn that one of my most important roles on wedding day (besides taking fabulous photos) is to support you as my clients. If you put your trust in me, I’m the kind of person that will be loyal till the end!

All that being said, wedding photography is a funny business:

In the way that you, the prospective client - hire someone (who is usually a total stranger to you beforehand) to spend the majority of one of the most special days of your life with. You let us in to witness a lot of moments and emotions.

The biggest piece of advice I can give, is to live in the moment on wedding day and the more vulnerable you’re willing to be, the more honest your pictures will feel. That’s why it’s so important to find a photographer that you feel comfortable with, that you can trust and honestly could see yourself kind of being friends with. Over the past decade that I’ve been documenting weddings, I’ve become good friends with a lot of my past clients because we’ve been able to create that bond. Often when I tell people that I’m a wedding photographer their first question is “omg do you have crazy bridezilla stories?” and my answer is always, sincerely, no. I’m so lucky to work with my kind of people. If you feel that connection to my work please reach out so that we can chat more and see if we’re a good fit to work together!
