The Investment

and so the adventure begins…

Your wedding day is more than just an event—it’s a collection of once-in-a-lifetime moments, emotions, and stories that deserve to be preserved exactly as they unfold. I believe in capturing the quiet touches, the nervous laughter, the teary-eyed vows, and the unfiltered joy that make your love story uniquely yours. Every word spoken, every glance exchanged, and every heartfelt embrace deserves to be remembered just as it happened, which is why I approach every wedding with the intention of creating something real, raw, and deeply personal. My experience in both photography and filmmaking allows me to blend artistry with authenticity, ensuring that when you look back at your wedding photos or film, you don’t just see the day—you feel it all over again.

I know how quickly the day moves, and my goal is to make sure you can be fully present while I take care of capturing the magic. With high-end gear, a keen eye for detail, and an instinct for anticipating moments before they happen, I work quietly and seamlessly to document your love in the most beautiful, cinematic way possible. My passion for storytelling means I don’t just take pictures or shoot video—I craft a visual narrative that reflects who you are as a couple. Your love is one of a kind, and I want to give you more than just memories; I want to give you a way to relive the love, the laughter, and the overwhelming joy for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes! There is no travel charge for weddings in Chicago, Central Illinois, Milwaukee or Madison Wisconsin. Other areas we charge a small fee to cover our expenses.

  • Because of the hybrid photo + video nature of our work we have chosen to use the Sony system for their accurate color science as well as cinema quality video. We also use a DJI Ronin 4D as well as a DJI Mavic 3 Drone

  • Since dates are extremely limited we recommend reaching out as soon as possible. This year we already have booked weddings for more than 18 months from now.

  • We have full coverage on our gear as well as professional liability insurance.

  • Short answer - it depends

    Slightly longer answer - the more variety in your wedding day the more photos you will have. If all of your events are in one location or space, you might have less images than a venue with a variety of different backdrops and scenery.

    On average we deliver 100 images per hour.

    If you do a first look you can expect about 40% MORE images than a wedding without a first look.

  • Generally you will have your images back within 8-12 weeks. During busy season (Sept - November) there may be a longer turnaround time.

    We do not outsource our edits so every image is hand edited by me.

  • All wedding packages come with complimentary engagement photos!
