Your love story
CAPTURED IN CHICAGO
+ BEYOND
hi hello!
STEPHANIE HERE!
I am a wedding + engagement photographer based in Chicago, IL. I can’t wait to hear your story!
Can I let you in on a little secret? I might be just a little too obsessed with my job; but that’s not the worst thing in the world, right? Between the late night meetings, extensive timeline planning calls, venue walk throughs, + everything in between, I love nothing more than spending time getting to know you + your people.
Using my gifts + talents to help bring your dreams and visions to reality is ultimately the sweetest gift to me. It is my whole heart to love you well in these once-in-a-lifetime seasons + I never take it for granted that I get to be a part of them with you!
Over the last 11+ years of photographing weddings, I have trained + built a wildly talented (intentionally small) team of individuals who work hard alongside of me to learn your stories + tell them authentically through the art of photography. Having this wonderful team allows us to serve more couples every year + tend to your needs along the way faster!
Learning who + what is important to you helps us to deeper understand your core values so that we can photograph your dynamics with friends, family, + lovers authentically. This is what we do best!

“Stephanie & team were perfect to work with for our engagement photos and our wedding day. We got SO many compliments on our engagement photos and wedding sneak peeks. They perfectly captured us as a couple — they really felt like "us"! For the wedding, Stephanie made sure to get all of the photos we needed and created a perfect timeline so that we were still ready on time (despite the bridal party being behind, of course!).
She even remembered the #1 family photo I requested that I forgot I wanted in the craziness of the day, and it is so special to me knowing that we have that once in a lifetime photo thanks to Steph. Thank you for everything!”

“We reached out to Stephanie about an engagement photo session in Chicago, and were immediately blown away by her quick response, inviting personality, and incredibly professional/organized business. My husband and I had done photos at the beach the day we got engaged, but wanted some shot in our home city of Chicago. I cannot emphasize enough how much we loved Stephanie and her work!! She truly blew us away and the photos are our favorites to date. The quality of the digital images we received is incredible, we were amazed by how quickly she sent us the gallery!
After we reached out with an initial inquiry, Stephanie quickly scheduled a call to go over our needs. It was so meaningful that she took the time to totally understand our vision before proceeding with booking. She sent over super helpful info ahead of our shoot, and we really valued her communication the day of our shoot as we waited to see how the weather would hold up. The shoot itself was SO FUN. Stephanie knew just what to do to help us get the natural and fun shots we wanted. The spots she picked around the city exactly matched the vibe we were going for. The shoot went by so fast, truly because we were having so much fun. We received the gallery from Stephanie shortly later, and have gotten SO many compliments since sharing them with our friends and family!”

“ I will never forget our first meeting with Stephanie over zoom to chat about what we were looking for in a wedding photographer. Right away, Stephanie immediately made us feel comfortable and we felt like we already knew her. Once the call was done, my husband and I looked at each other and automatically knew we wanted Stephanie to be part of this special journey with us. We never had professional photos taken so we didn't know what to expect for our engagement shoot, but Stephanie made us feel so relaxed and we trusted the process.
We absolutely love how the photos turned out which made us feel even more confident in choosing her to capture our wedding day. Stephanie and Jeff are the literal dream team, they hyped up our wedding party in the best way and captured all of our special moments so perfectly. We couldn't be happier with how our wedding photos turned out and continue to look at our gallery practically every single day in awe of their work and talent. We're so blessed to have found Stephanie and we will continue to work with her as our family continues to grow!”
