Chicago Wedding Photography

Love stories that transcend time

The awestruck expression on his face the first time he sees you. The intertwining of your hands. A tear sliding down your mom’s cheek, and uninhibited joy at the party that follows.
I’ll turn those fleeting moments into timeless images that warm your heart. They'll decorate your walls and rack up likes on Instagram. Maybe one day you’ll flip through these pictures with your grandchildren, reliving the magic.
My task is to secure these precious memories. Your only task is to relish the moment while I capture its essence.

Inquire about your date

LET'S MAKE MAGIC TOGETHER!!

explore our work

The way the two of you lean your heads together during the toasts. 

This day is about more than the flowers and the shoes you chose. It's about celebrating the start of a new family. It's an honor to play a part in such a significant day and I hope you'll choose us to be a part of yours! 

After photographing more than 150 weddings over the past years, I've really come to value the unexpected, intimate moments that take place on a wedding day. 

The hug your mom gives you before you leave your dressing room. The tear that falls down his cheek when he sees you walking down the aisle.

next step:

You've thoroughly combed through my website, blog and Instagram feed and you like what you see. So the next step is setting up a time to chat to make sure we're the perfect fit for one another.   

We get to know each other 
over a cup of coffee, or sweet treat!

Once your date is officially reserved, I'll send over a few goodies to help you prepare for the big day. I'm happy to serve as a resource for vendor recommendations, timeline guidance and more!

Date secured. And now the fun begins!

Sessions can take place anywhere from immediately following a proposal to just a few days before the wedding. I’ve found that there isn’t a “good” or “bad” time to take your photos. 

The engagement session. 
let's get you comfortable in front of the camera

I check in about two months before the wedding to start chatting about timeline specifics, special details, family formal shot lists, special traditions and anything else we should know about your big day.

Wedding prep.
Let's get organized for the big day!

It's finally here! The day the two of you say "I Do" and dance the night away surrounded by your family and friends. I am there cheering you on and capturing the whole experience. I LOVE this part!!

The Big Day!

Your photos will be delivered, via an online gallery, eight weeks after your wedding, as well as options for preserving your images. You two look so adorable! Time to pick out the perfect photo for your mantel, create an album for Mom & Dad, and choose the perfect shot to frame for Grandma.

Anamaria was by far the best decision and vendor we worked with for our entire wedding process. From start to finish, she was professional, organized and so much fun. We loved how keyed into our needs and what we wanted on our day - she was truly there for us.  We loved her as our photographer but were even happier when she became our friend! 

"As if her work weren't amazing enough, she's the absolute kindest!
