About

We are professional photographers that have migrated to Chicago via New York and San Francisco. When we started our Chicago wedding photography business, we were pioneers in the fine art wedding photojournalism movement. We have slowly and carefully added talented wedding photojournalists to our group. We focus on all the lovely details, tender gestures and emotional exchange that occurs between the bride and groom and their families. We artfully document all the special elements you have so carefully chosen to make your wedding unique. Our photographs have been featured in magazines including: Chicago Social Brides, Chicago Social, The Knot, Chicago Bride, Modern Bride, and Grace Ormonde Wedding Style. Please give us a call or email us if you have any further questions, or if you would like to schedule an appointment to see more work.

10/10 Recommend Belen

Our wedding day was nothing short of magical—the most perfect, personal, and loving event I could have ever envisioned. And Belen was an essential part of making it all come together so seamlessly. From the very start, she didn’t just take on the role of a photographer; she became an integral part of the experience, ensuring that every moment was captured with care and precision. She knew exactly how to keep us on schedule while maintaining a relaxed, stress-free environment, always keeping my best interests at the forefront.

What truly sets Belen apart is her attention to the smallest details. She wasn’t just behind the camera—she was holding my phone, adjusting my dress to make sure I looked perfect, and even assisting with things that went beyond her job description. Her dedication was unmatched. Having worked with Belen for years, she already had a close relationship with my family and children, and that personal connection made her presence feel even more special and comforting.

Belen went above and beyond throughout the entire day. She coordinated flawlessly with the videographer, ensured everything was smooth for our grand entrance, and was on the dance floor with us capturing every candid moment of joy. She didn’t miss a single beat, from the heartfelt speeches to the tiniest in-between moments, and somehow always seemed to be by my side, making sure everything was perfect.

What I appreciate most about Belen is how she combines her professionalism with a warm, personal touch. It felt like I was working with a best friend who knew exactly what I needed even before I asked. She brings so much more than just photography skills—she brings heart, care, and an intuitive sense of what will make your day truly memorable. I can’t recommend Belen highly enough. If you’re looking for someone who will go the extra mile to ensure your day is as special as you’ve always dreamed, she’s the one. Without a doubt, a 10/10 experience!

Amazing service and photography

I recently had the pleasure of working with Mike Scarpelli for my wedding ceremony. From start to finish, he demonstrated exceptional professionalism and a genuine passion for photography.
Mike was super flexible when I had certain requests. He was very accommodating and maintained a positive attitude, ensuring that the photography process remained smooth and stress-free!
He truly captured every important and candid moment from our ceremony - and we even received the photos a lot sooner than I expected! It was so fun to look through the photos, I am so happy I chose Gerber + Scarpelli for our wedding.
