We’re getting married!!! And we need someone to capture it all! BUT we’ve never done this before… What should we expect?
I’m so happy you asked! The process looks something like this:
You INQUIRE. Tell me everything! I’ll get back to you as soon as humanly possible.
We connect over the phone or Zoom. We’ll talk about our fur babies, recent adventures, and Wedding Stuff, too! Let’s name all the ways your day is going to be AWESOME.
You receive a custom photography quote based on what’s most important to you. Once you’re ready to book, I take a signed contract and 50% retainer fee to reserve your date!
You’re BOOKED!!! We’ll keep in touch during the months before your wedding to schedule your engagement session, final consult, and/or if you have a cute photo of your pet to share…
Ava (Annie & Luke)
Snooty (Annie & Luke)
Charlie and Oliver (Rose & Layne)
Tubbs and Junebug (Mackensey & Anna)
Zion (Cierra & Steve)
Meatball (Victoria & Sam)
You GET MARRIED. We capture it all. It’s the BEST DAY EVER (duh!).
Enjoy sneak peeks on social media and receive your final gallery sooner than expected. Sit back, relax, and relive it all over again.
That all sounds great! But… what’s the actual wedding day like?
SUPER fun – see for yourself! Here’s a glimpse of what it’s like behind the scenes…
I’m Emma (She/Her): Beer nerd, cat-whisperer, reality show-junkie and Chicago wedding photographer. I’ve been helping couples relive their wedding memories since 2014, and wouldn’t have it any other way!
Originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, I currently reside in Chicago with my designer-turned-handyman partner and our two spunky felines. When I’m not photographing couples in love, I’m either hanging with these three, managing our West Town studio space, or traveling someplace new!
A Few of My Favorite Things:
Black coffee
Buttercream frosting
Road trips
Watching the sun rise
Pretending I sound like Mariah Carey
Belgian beer
The Green Bay Packers
My little fam (Jeremy, Rex and Miike)
Halloween (the holiday – not the movie. Okay, the movie’s pretty good too.)
About You
You want stunning, true-to-life wedding photos that look and feel like YOU. You don’t want to feel stiff or look too “posed.” And most importantly, you want to ENJOY your wedding day while we capture all the good stuff!
Whether you thrive in the spotlight or cringe at the thought of being photographed, we are there to capture your memories. And let’s be honest: your wedding day is going to be AWESOME. No matter what goes according to plan or how many things surprise you, at the end of the day you’ll be married to Your Person. And, spoiler alert: that’s what this is all about!
My Approach
My relaxed, documentary approach allows couples to feel totally comfortable in front of the camera (it’s the number one thing mentioned in my Reviews!). Expect a mix of candid moments and contemporary portraiture, with the occasional embarrassing (aka HILARIOUS) dance floor photo. I will be your hype girl during portrait time (seriously!). We’ll get to know each other throughout the process, and it doesn’t stop on wedding day. I want to show up with hugs and handshakes – not as just another vendor.
