well, it's nice to meet you...
A lover of travel, the Beatles, and an old soul who brings the energy.
My clients say I’m equal parts enthusiastic, extroverted, and empathetic. I’ll be there to hold your veil and help you stay present, but don’t be surprised when I meet you on the dance floor later that night.
Based in the Chicagoland suburbs, I capture weddings around the big city and across the globe. I love working for clients of all nationalities, religions, and orientations—all love is beautiful love. I have a feeling we’ll be fast friends!
READ my love note to you
Photos are everything to me...
He showed us that any time spent together was worth photographing by capturing milestones and everyday moments—from birthdays and holidays to stunning sunsets. I never knew how important these photos would be until my dad passed right before I turned sixteen.
I’m so thankful for every memory he left behind—the smiles, the laughs, the tears. His love of photography inspired my business with a mission to preserve as many memories of love and laughter as I possibly can. I hope I can do that for you, too—just as he did for me.
My dad was a photo fanatic and captured many moments of my life growing up through his old Sony camcorder and disposable cameras.
+ NJ and I met on PlayStation 4 while playing Call of Duty: Black Ops!
+ We eloped AND had a big wedding six years later—the best of both worlds.
+ Our three dogs make our house feel like a zoo!
FUN FACTS
+ As a newlywed myself, I created The Newlywed Club apparel shop, a project I poured my passion into.
+ My favorite things to capture are the real, raw, in-between moments.
+ I keep all gifts & cards my clients give me because they ignite my fire to do what I love.
+ Don’t make me choose between coffee and tea— I love both!
+ My Summers are filled with hot yoga, followed by the farmers market (the bouquets are my favorite)
+ My favorite coffee shops are Area Coffee, Infusco, and Metric. All my wedding season stomping grounds based on wedding destinations!
+ My dream is to photograph a wedding in Lake Como or Scotland
+ My love language catching a plane and documenting every place I visit
+ Being in nature is a huge fuel to my wellbeing and creativity in my business
I know what it’s like to be in your shoes…
And I can’t wait to capture your wedding day!
