Cinematic reportage

 

Cinematic reportage. Editorial feels. Your love, unscripted. Our style blends the authenticity of documentary photography with the dramatic flair of cinema—crafting bold, unscripted moments that feel like stills from your favorite film. Every frame we shoot tells your story in a way that’s raw, emotional, and visually striking.

Experience

Every frame we capture is a reflection of over a decade of experience, telling each couple's unique story with depth and style. We enjoy getting to know you, your family dynamics, your most treasured memories and the moments you are most excited about on your big day. We aim to create a beautifully documented love story filled with candid moments, natural and effortless portraits that reflect your personalities, classic family formals and a few epic shots for good measure. 

 

Investment

The morning after your big day, there is just one wedding purchase left that has yet to be delivered. Your pictures. The only purchase that will, in time, become more valuable. The only purchase that you will get to enjoy for more than just one day. These are the memories you will cherish for a lifetime. Your wedding album is a family heirloom. A treasured possession for you and even more so for the generations to come. We do not take this responsibility lightly and are so very honored to be trusted to tell your story. Please inquire for detailed pricing.

Champagne Sprays

Creating amazing night shots in the rain or snow was the ultimate jackpot for Cristina. "The way the light catches the beads of precipitation is pure magic and I wanted to create a similar feeling that could be executed on demand vs. hoping for poor weather. Plenty of time was spent contemplating on this, until one day, while popping a bottle of champs, it hit me. No pun intended. A celebratory champagne spray at the end of the evening would be the perfect way to make it rain for an epic nightshot! The first nighttime champs spray ever was captured in the summer of 2014. Since then it has become quite the trend with many couples requesting it from their photographers in Chicago and beyond. Alas, I am the OG and nobody does it better than me!"
