Capturing Commitment

Created by Ali Coşkunfrom the Noun Project

Serving the Chicagoland area & beyond to capture the most beautiful moments of your special day.

Love is unique. Your wedding photos should represent your story in the same way - & that’s where I’m here to help! When it comes to one of the biggest days of your life - I will be so much more than your photographer. I'm there to be your hype-woman, day of bestie, & assistant through it all. Whether you’re having an intimate ceremony or a large reception with all of your family & friends, I’ll be there to capture the moments you’ll want to remember forever.

It's SO true what they say: your wedding day goes by in literally a blink of an eye. It is my mission to document your best day so you can look back on it for years & years to come & relive it over again as many times as you want. From romantic portraits of just the two of you, to shots that document the whole celebration, I’ll be there through it all! And with every step of the way, I’ll help make sure you’re relaxed & confident knowing that your special day will be perfectly captured.

I have fallen in love with photographing weddings. Watching you marry the love of your life gives me that warm, fuzzy feeling that is so incredibly rewarding!

Frequently asked

Q: do you provide raw images?

No, I do not give out RAW photos as  it does not accurately represent my work or brand.

Q: what's a second shooter? do i need one?

A second shooter is a second photographer that will be with me all day to help capture different perspectives of your big day! A second shooter is not necessary for every wedding, but ALWAYS recommended!

Q: what's your turn around time?

I will send you sneak peeks within 24-48 hours! The full gallery will be sent to you within 4-8 weeks from your wedding date.

Q: We are not interested in the engagement session, can we get $$$  off our package?

Short answer, no. I offer complimentary (aka FREE) engagement photos with my wedding packages so we can all meet each other in person at least once before your wedding day! This also gives you free photos to use for save the dates,  invites, prints, etc. Because the engagement session is free, and there is no monetary value to it, I cannot discount your wedding package if you choose not to take the engagement session. If you're interested, let's swap it for a first anniversary session! 

Q: do you travel?

YES! I am available to be wherever you need me to be :) travel fees may be applied.

Q: I DON'T SEE A PACKAGE THAT COULD FIT MY WEDDING DAY..

That's okay! Every wedding is unique in it's own way. Send me an email through my contact form & we can create a custom package that fits perfectly for your big day!

Q: WHAT DO YOU NEED FROM ME TO BOOK?

In order to secure me as your wedding photographer, I do require a $450.00 non-refundable retainer & e-signed contract. further details can be discussed during our consult call!

Q: have more questions?
