Yes, my work area is in Illinois, but I’m currently accepting weddings from Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin
I don’t have travel fees for local weddings within the Chicago area, and suburbs like Napervile or Rockford. Anything 90 miles from Wheeling is free of charge.
The travel fee for 90-130 miles is just a small amount to cover minor expenses.
If I have to drive for more than 3 hours I add a hotel fee of 1 night.
If I have to travel by plane:
Only the full day fee is available.
All fees are included just for the wedding. Airfare, Hotel (2 days before and day after) Transportation.
Depending on the destination wedding, we can reach an agreement based on the costs. I’m flexible.
If you are Eloping in Mexico, Italy, Thailand, Japan, Vietnam, Germany, Ireland, France, Spain, Greece, etc… let’s talk! I’ve been to so many beautiful spots around the world that going back for a wedding would be a dream come true.

I’m very transparent with fees. I explain in detail what the package include and the additional fees for each couple (venue insurance add ons, travel fees, license fees for city parks and parking fees, if any).
My fees cover timeline support, endless phone calls talking about all your details, stories and more, visit the venue beforehand, an online gallery, next day delivery, your favorite pictures edited within a week, all pictures edited are delivered within 5 weeks or ASAP (busy months with late deliveries are May - June - October)
Album and Prints when requested (price per item is provided before production)
Photobooth, with props and background

I started taking pictures at a company I used to work for, covering from Christmas parties, employee awards, to portraits for management; but formally, I started back in 2017 and with weddings in 2018. Little by little, I got into more and more weddings with one year doing more than 35 weddings, my best year by far!
But, now I take less weddings per year. I started focusing more on delivering a better service, with reduced delivery times and with more attention to every wedding.
Now, I provide more for every wedding. I assist to rehearsals, I meet the couple at the venue, meetings here and there to talk about the timeline, meeting at the church beforehand, etc.

You can find my reviews in Google and all major wedding platforms like Zola, the Knot and Thumbtack which holds me more than 150 reviews 5 star reviews. I used to get my wedding leads from there, but now it’s more hybrid. I used referrals, directly hired from venues or still from wedding platforms like Zola.
My pricing on wedding platforms is a little bit higher because besides paying for a membership, I pay per lead as well. So the best way to hire me for less is directly from here.
