I'm thrilled that you're considering me to capture your special day and am excited to share allll the details with you.
Your wedding day photos are the vehicle to transport your precious memories into eternal gifts for generations to come. I believe in capturing the authentic, joyous representation of your day. I work with a combination of poses and prompts to make sure you're looking and feeling your best all day long. I’ve photographed all ages — from 0 to 105! On your wedding day, we're here to support and celebrate YOU.
When you work with me, you're not just getting a photographer – you're gaining a friend and a cheerleader! I'm here to celebrate with you, to laugh with you, and to create images that showcase the depth of your connection. I believe that every couple deserves to have their love story told in a way that feels true to who they are, and I’d be honored to be the one to help you do just that.
All partnerships blossom with love - whether same-sex, interfaith, cultural fusions. I feel privileged to document your most precious moments with elegance and enthusiasm.
Whether you're planning a grand celebration or an intimate elopement, I'm here to capture the moments that matter most - the tears of joy, the belly laughs, and the little glances that speak volumes about your love.
I would be absolutely honored to help capture your special day. Let's create something beautiful together, and preserve these memories for generations to come.
After photographing over a hundred couples, I've learned that I'm not the perfect fit for every wedding – and that's okay! That's why I always start with a conversation. I want to hear everything—how you met, funny first date stories, and how you got engaged.

I have been raving about Eliana for some time, but now that our wedding has come and gone, and the photos from the wedding are pouring in, all I can say is that Eliana has outdone herself. All of this is true both for our wedding pictures and our engagement shots. We cannot imagine a better wedding/engagement photographer - we are so so happy we hired Eliana!
We have worked with Eliana for 2 photo shoots and for our wedding, and we have loved it every time! She has been very professional, creative, and fun throughout our sessions with her and especially during our wedding while getting ready, throughout the portrait sessions, the ceremony, and the reception. All of our friends and family have loved all of her photos and we hope to work with her again in the future!
Not only did she take the most beautiful pictures, she also cheered us on all day and posed us in a way that made us comfortable and confident. She was able to direct our incredibly large family with no problem. We got our sneak peek to us incredibly fast and our gallery to us within a month!
I would recommend using her for any and all events but especially for weddings because she helped the day go so much more smoothly than it would have without her.
Take a look around my packages and my work to see if you like my style. If you think we'd be a good fit, we'll start getting to know each other!
We'll chat over video, phone, or email so that you can tell me about your big day. I want to hear it alll! I want to learn about anything special you're planning, wedding customs, your venue, & EVERYTHING else!
You'll receive your contract and pay your retainer. Once this is done, your date is locked in! You'll receive a series of questionnaires leading up to your wedding day so that I can best prepare to celebrate with you. We'll work together to solidify your timeline and inspiration board leading up to your wedding day.
I’ll be there to capture your love every step of the way as your photographer, cheerleader, and crisis-handler.
Congrats, you are MARRIED!!! Live your day over and over again through your digital gallery. And why not take things off the screen?! Order albums and prints directly from your gallery page, easy peasy.
This iconic view of the city cannot be beat! Especially gorgeous in the summer, this spot makes it feel like you have the city all to yourself.
LOCATION NO.2
Take a moment to soak in your love amidst the hustle-and-bustle of downtown Chicago. Great for editorial and documentary-style images!
LOCATION No.1
Just a few blocks away from the courthouse, Chicago Board of Trade is a stunning spot for your post-elopement pics. Try to avoid rush hour here!
LOCATION NO.3
I'm a big believer that images shouldn't just live in a digital space. One day, Instagram might not open, your phone might not hold a charge, and physical prints will be the best way to remember those precious moments we captured.
Ordering an album is one of the best ways to make your memories last. These high-quality, professionally designed albums come in a variety of linen & leather colors. They're modern, lay flat, and look incredible on your coffee table.
After I deliver your gallery, I'll work with you to order prints and design an album that will become a family heirloom.
Linen: $950
Leather: $1150
Additional 2-page Spread: $80
Linen: $450 each
Leather: $700 each
Additional 2-page Spread: $70 each
Let’s do this! To reserve your date, you’ll need to sign your contract and pay your retainer. The remaining balance is due one month before the wedding. Send me an email if you're ready to move forward!
Not at all! I understand that courthouse wait times can be unpredictable, which is why I include up to 2 hours of wait time at no additional cost in all my elopement packages. Whether we're waiting in line, dealing with paperwork, or experiencing unexpected delays, your photography coverage time won't start ticking away. Once we get the green light to proceed, that's when your actual coverage time begins. I want you to feel relaxed and present in your moment, not stressed about the clock!
All photos will be lightly edited for color and clarity and will match the general aesthetic of my portfolio. I never photoshop or alter the shape of bodies. My job is to help you feel utterly stunning in front of the camera so you can remember your day with the authenticity & excitement it deserves!
When it comes to editing and retouching your wedding photos, my philosophy is all about enhancing the natural beauty and emotion of your day, while staying true to the authentic moments we captured together. Every image I deliver will be carefully edited for color and clarity, to ensure that the final product matches the signature style and aesthetic you see throughout my portfolio.
I firmly believe in celebrating the unique beauty of every couple I work with, just as they are. That's why I never use Photoshop or other retouching tools to alter the shape or appearance of bodies. I don't believe in chasing unrealistic, airbrushed perfection - I believe in capturing the real, raw, and wonderfully imperfect moments that make your love story so special. Instead of relying on heavy-handed editing tricks, I prefer to focus on helping you feel utterly comfortable and confident in front of the camera. My goal is to create an environment where you can let your guard down, be yourselves, and allow your genuine emotions to shine through. Whether it's through gentle guidance on posing or simply cracking a few jokes to get you laughing, I'm here to make sure you look and feel your absolute best on your big day.
Absolutely! We know that sometimes, you (or your grandma) might need your pictures back sooner than anticipated. Expedited delivery timelines begin at $200. We'd love to work with you to make sure you get your photos exactly when you need them!
Yes! You can add on a custom photo album or printed save-the-dates to any wedding package.

I would love to celebrate with you!
