With 14 years in the wedding industry and more than 300 weddings photographed, I bring a depth of experience, knowledge, and calm confidence to every celebration—allowing me to anticipate the moments that matter most while creating space for you to fully enjoy your day. I approach every wedding day with the same excitement, gratitude, and sense of purpose that I felt from the very start.

When I think of Ashtyn and Matt, one word immediately comes to mind: FUN! Their Chicago wedding day was bright, colorful, joyful, and completely them from start to finish.
From the moment the day began, every detail was full of personality. The bright, colorful florals by F4D Weddings were absolutely incredible, and Ashtyn’s hand-painted invitations and calligraphy added such a personal touch throughout the day. Even the getting-ready photos had plenty of laughs, thanks to Matt and his groomsmen keeping my second shooter, Kayla, thoroughly entertained.
Their first look was surrounded by the prettiest row of pink and orange tulips before everyone headed to Theater on the Lake for a gorgeous lakefront ceremony. And then came the party! From their memorable cake cutting to an immediately packed dance floor, these two knew how to celebrate. Ashtyn even changed into the cutest party dress to dance the night away.
Every part of the day felt colorful, personal, and full of joy. I loved every minute of celebrating with these two!
