Yes. Many of our couples add engagement parties, wedding showers and welcome parties/rehearsal dinners to their coverage. These events are often where some of the most relaxed, candid images unfold.

Our couples often say it’s the rare combination of artistry, experience, and the fact that you get two lead photographers not a lead and a random second shooter.

As a husband-and-wife team with over 15 years photographing weddings together, we know how to anticipate moments from different perspectives and work in complete sync. The result is effortless coverage that captures both the sweeping, cinematic scenes and the quiet, intimate details all with a fashion-forward yet deeply personal touch.

Absolutely. Every image is hand-selected and edited by us never outsourced, never run through AI. Because we were there, we know that the way your dad squeezed your hand, the glance your best friend gave you across the dance floor, or the split-second tear in your mom’s eye matter just as much as the big moments.

If we weren’t the ones editing, those could be lost. By staying personally connected to every step, we make sure your gallery isn’t just a “best of,” but the complete, unrepeatable story of your wedding.

Our editing is true to color and guided by light from luminous daylight to the romance of candlelight, and every subtle in-between. Black-and-white is used with intention, creating images that are both emotional and iconic.

Our shooting blends professional and ambient light to capture each scene as it truly felt. At times, we embrace movement a graceful blur that conveys energy and elegance always refined, never trendy.

We specialize exclusively in photography, but we’ve partnered with a video team we trust completely. We shared a studio with them for years, and after over a decade of working side by side at weddings, our teams function seamlessly together.

When you book us both, you’ll receive preferred pricing on videography - a benefit of our long-standing collaboration. While you’re not obligated to hire them, we wholeheartedly recommend it our history together makes all the difference.

Wedding photography in Chicago can vary widely depending on experience, style, and what’s included. On average, couples invest anywhere from $6,000 to $12,000 for full-day coverage from an established professional. Entry-level photographers may charge less, while high-end editorial photographers (like those often seen at venues such as the Peninsula or the Art Institute can range from $10,000 to $20,000+, especially if they include film photography, multiple shooters, and luxury album design.

It is also important to understand the difference between independent boutique studios and large, volume-driven companies. The larger companies often advertise very low rates but then send whichever freelancer is available that weekend, someone you may not meet until your wedding day. With a boutique studio, you know exactly who is photographing you, and you are choosing them for their artistry, consistency, and experience. What you are really investing in is not just hours or images delivered, but peace of mind that your memories will be captured beautifully and intentionally.
