Chicago Wedding Photographer

1. i.

   Getting ready

   We arrive an hour into the morning, already moving slow. Detail flatlays, the dress, the rings, the light coming through the curtains. Quiet enough that no one notices us.

2. ii.

   First look & portraits

   Tucked away at one of Chicago's quieter corners. Twenty minutes, no rush.

3. iii.

   Ceremony

   We shoot from the aisle, the back, the side, and one frame from above if the space allows. We stay invisible. Family photos run list-driven right after.

4. iv.

   Reception

   Toasts, dances, cake. We stay through the last send-off. You'll get every plated dinner, every laugh, every quiet moment between events.

   Delivery

   A tightly-curated 400-800 image gallery, hand-edited, delivered within 8 weeks. Print release included.

   Bridgeport Art Center

   South Side, four-story converted warehouse. The Skyline Loft is our preferred ceremony space — full skyline view through the south-facing windows. We shoot first looks in the freight elevator and cocktail-hour portraits in the gallery hallway.

   Salvage One

   West Loop. Three floors of antique architectural salvage — mantels, chandeliers, doorways. Every direction gives a unique editorial backdrop within twelve feet. We bring no props here; the venue is a prop.

   Galleria Marchetti

   Fulton Market. The Pavilion ballroom has retractable glass walls that open to a brick courtyard with string lights. We shoot ceremony in either the courtyard (golden hour) or the pavilion (any time) — both photograph cleanly.

   Waldorf Astoria Chicago

   Gold Coast. The Astor Ballroom's chandeliers and the marble staircase are our two most-shot interior spots in the city. We use the lobby for getting-ready portraits — the light off the polished stone is flattering on every skin tone.

   The Langham

   River North. The Pavilion Ballroom is unusually tall (twenty-foot ceilings) which gives us room to compose ceremony shots without compression. Portrait spots include the Fountain Restaurant and the river-facing windows on three.

   Rosemont Theatre

   For couples who want a non-traditional ceremony — auditorium house lights down, single spot on the aisle. We shoot from the orchestra rake; the resulting frames look unlike any other Chicago wedding portfolio.

Where we photograph weddings in Chicago

• 01

  How many photos do we get?

  +

  Edition I delivers 400+ edited images. Edition II is 600+. Edition III is 800+. We don't pad galleries with ten near-identical frames — every image is hand-selected and color-graded.
• 02

  Can we bundle photo and video?

  +

  Yes — and it's the most popular booking. Bundle any two of our wedding services (Video + Photo, Photo + Content, or all three) and we knock 10% off your full package. Same studio, same creative direction, one team on the day.
• 03

  Do you photograph weddings outside Chicago?

  +

  Yes. We regularly shoot outside the Chicago metro area — including destination weddings and elopements. We add travel as a flat line item, never a marked-up surprise.
• 04

  What's your style, in one sentence?

  +

  Editorial and lifestyle — candid first, with a guiding hand when you want one. We document the day as it actually unfolds, and we'll step in to direct when it helps: posing through portraits, family formals, getting you settled at golden hour. Tell us how involved you'd like us to be — some couples want zero direction, others want a quiet co-pilot — and we'll match it.
• 05

  When do we get our photos?

  +

  We generally deliver the full gallery within 3–4 weeks of your wedding.
