Whether you dream of exchanging vows on a mountaintop, with the wind in your hair, or sharing a quiet moment in the heart of a bustling city, eloping is about making your day truly yours. As your photographer, I'm not just there to take pictures—I'm here to help you craft an intentional, unforgettable experience, and capture every authentic moment along the way.
Your wedding day should be a reflection of your unique love story, not a reflection of tradition.

They came prepared and maintained professionalism. They even had props to distract the kids that were being fussy for pictures. The entire process of booking was simple, didn't require me to talk to you at all, and you showed up and delivered!"

TESTIMONIALS
have more questions?
head to my dedicated FAQ page or send me an email.
I will bake travel fees into the total package instead of going line by line with different charges. I like to provide all inclusive packages that way you're not stressed about the details.
do I have to pay travel fees?
I do not. I am providing images in line with my portfolio. I would hope that you're here because you like my work and style.
do you provide unedited images?
how far in advance should we book?
I generally only book 12-18 months out. I have three kids and would hate to have something change before your big day!
I'll provide you with a comprehensive guide with all the necessary information, including where to go, what documents to bring, and how the process works for both Chicago and your chosen destination.
