Wedding photography · Chicago and the Great Lakes
For the moments between the moments.
Cinematic, quietly romantic photographs of your wedding, from the nervous laugh before the aisle to the last song of the night.
First dance 
The aisle, after 
Just married 
Getting ready 
Lace, buttoned 
The toast
The person behind the camera
I chase feeling, not a shot list.
I work quietly and mostly unseen, the way a good film crew does. Light, timing and a little patience do the work. You get to stay present at your own wedding, and still get the photographs.
Color for the joy, black and white for the hush, and always an edit that will still look right in thirty years.
A wedding day, in chapters
From first look to last dance
1:00 PMGetting ready
Soft window light, the dress on its hanger, your people fussing over you.
4:00 PMThe ceremony
The walk, the vows, the moment someone in the second row starts crying.
6:15 PMGolden hour
Twenty unhurried minutes, just the two of you, when the light turns kind.
10:45 PMThe send-off
Sparklers, confetti, and the run to the car you'll laugh about for years.
Kind words
It felt like watching the film of our own wedding. We still can't believe how much of the night they caught.
