Creating together.
How would you describe your style?
My style is a mix of photojournalistic, lifestyle, and editorial with the use of off-camera lighting to make those images POP! View wedding photography styles here.What's it like to work with you on our wedding day?
I'm calm, cool, and collected to make sure everyone is having a good time while also capturing and directing those must-have moments. I'm easy to get along with and always make people feel comfortable by having fun and joking around. I'll keep the day moving smoothly with a smile on my face—and make sure you're getting your photos! -
It's all in the details.
Can we request specific shots?
Of course you can! During our consultations we can go over what inspires you and what the must have moments are for your day.Do you have a backup plan in place?
I always have a backup plan for every session–Chicago weather can be unpredictable sometimes, so I have plenty of suggestions in my back pocket. We can also pick a backup date when planning sessions if there's something that doesn't work out as planned or if the weather changes unexpectedly during your shoot. -
Location, location, location.
Have you shot at my venue before?
With my 10 years of experience as a wedding photographer in Chicago, odds are I have been to your venue before! Over the years, I've learned how to capture any and all types of venues. No lighting or location is too tricky for me. As soon as I see a space my brain starts planning out vantage points and light placement.During our consultation call, let me know what venue your event will be held and I can share a gallery.

Wrapping up.
When will we receive our wedding photos?
There is a lot of care that goes into your images. I take ample time to cull through all the photos finding the best moments, and then apply cropping and color correction to ensure every image is perfect. To ensure all my clients receive full attention to their images, my average turnaround time for weddings is 3-9 weeks.Do you edit imperfections?
I am able to offer retouching services—but I often find my clients don't need it. Beauty is translated through confidence and fun—you will remember the joy and happiness in your photo more than what you are wearing or how your hair looked!
