Weddings
Natural, romantic, emotional.
Your wedding is a celebration that is truly worth being present for, full of beautiful moments. My passion for people, combined with my creativity and attention to detail, is how I find and tell the story of those moments. I love those in-between moments, the laughs, the cries & thinking about how these images will make you feel as you’re looking through your album later. My goal as your photographer is for you to look back at your wedding day photos and be transported to that space in time, feeling what you felt as vividly as you did then. Rather than turn your special day into one big photoshoot, I’m here to help you relax and be present on your wedding day to celebrate with the people you love the most, and creatively capture stunning images that naturally work with your plans.

Yes! I never expect my clients to know how to pose, that’s my job. I like to aim for a mix of candids & posed photos. Even when posing my goal is to help you feel comfortable, natural, and look your best. We can discuss your insecurities, desires and needs on our consultation call.

For weddings: This varies depending on the hours of coverage, number of guests, and what takes place at the wedding. At a minimum you can expect 500 edited images, and for an average eight hour wedding day I usually deliver 1,000 edited images for an 8hr day with a 2nd photographer.
For boudoir, engagement, portrait sessions it depends on the package you purchase.

Yes! I’ve photographed weddings in Colorado, Boston, Cincinnati, Columbus, Wisconsin, Michigan, Cancun, Cabo, & The Dominican Republic. In 2024 I’ll be traveling to Utah & Houston.
I travel within 50 miles of my home in Chicago free of charge. Beyond that I have a travel fee which is the current going business travel rate per mile to the shoot and back. (for two hours travel it's about $75). 100+ miles away driving there is a flat rate of $500.
For longer out of state or country travels the client is usually required to pay for the airline travel, car rental, ubers, baggage, and accommodations if needed. I may be willing to travel to Houston, Indianapolis, Cincinnati without all or some of that since I have friends and family there.
-
My editing style is true to life with added contrast for a timeless yet modern look. I enjoy emulating classic film style looks on select images as well as incorporating black and white.
For weddings I go through each image and edit for lighting and color. I apply some light skin editing but anything more in depth (ie. removing an exit sign, stray hairs or blemishes) is considered an add on.
For engagement sessions I do edit background distractions and stray hairs.
For boudoir I do in depth editing (smoothing skin, removing bruises or blemishes, clothing malfunctions) on all the final photos.
-
Yes! No interest payment plans can be arranged month to month or every few months. I always discuss a custom plan with my couples. Contact me for more info!
