About

I care about each client and at the end of the wedding day, before any images are even viewable, I guarantee that you and your guests will feel like we are all one big special family!

We love ingrid!

I cannot recommend Ingrid enough! We chose to work with her because the expressive quality of her work was exactly what we wanted in our wedding photos--she gets people having FUN. She also makes the process easy from start to finish. Before the event, she met with us to plan a photo timeline that maximized the time we had with our guests and the events at our wedding. She also helped us pick some amazingly unique spots for our photos based on where our venue was located. And she will be your biggest cheerleader. I never felt uncomfortable while having my photo taken with her team. On the contrary, she made it so fun and celebratory. Thanks so much to Ingrid and her team for the beautiful memories we will cherish forever!

A photographic genius with the best personality - look no further, you've found your photographer!

For our wedding, we were looking for gorgeously candid, non-traditional, authentic, vibrant photos. I chose photographers based on two things: if their pictures were inclusive and met our "style," and if their images were so authentic, they brought tears to my eyes. After talking with Ingrid for the first time, we knew she was our photographer. She's thoughtful, enthusiastic, interested and knows her photog and wedding stuff. Her packages were within our budget and an engagement session was included. We met with Ingrid 4 times: for the engagement photos, for a pre-wedding meeting, for the wedding day and for a viewing party when pics were ready. The engagement photos showed us just how talented Ingrid was - the weather was GOD AWFUL - think sleet, high winds, 10 degrees... and we decided to go to the lake front. If you look back at our pictures, you'd have no idea that we were frozen shaking near tears or that the weather conditions were so bad! Her editing was also super quick for these and we got tons of options and had multiple locations we shot at (three total). It was our first time being in front of a camera and Ingrid made us feel comfortable and knew exactly how to capture the vision we were looking for. About a month before our wedding, we met with Ingrid to discuss timeline. She helped us shape our timeline so we had time for all the portraits and shots we wanted. We had so much fun grabbing coffee and catching up! We told Ingrid from the start that we really wanted our creative vendors to take liberty , experiment and have fun - they are the experts and we trust their vision and style. We knew that we were in great hands with Ingrid and that we didn't need to micromanage ANYTHING and that we'd be taken care of. Our package included 8 hours, 2 photographers and an assistant. The day of the wedding, the team showed up and fit RIGHT in with me and my wedding party. The assistant was a godsend because our wedding party was pretty big and needed to be wrangled and she helped keep everything moving. Ingrid and her team worked efficiently and helped me keep it together if I got stressed about timeline. At the end of the night, we urged them to hang out with us after they were done shooting because we bonded with the team so much! Ingrid sent us a few sneak peaks the next day and they were better than anything we ever could have IMAGINED. Two months later, we went to Ingrid's studio to go through all the photos with her and have drinks/apps. Ingrid put together a beautiful presentation of all of our photos and we got to relive our day over some White Claws. We ended up staying after going through the pictures to chat for a couple hours. She gave us a flash drive and a link with our photos and she gave us 1600 PHOTOS!!! Sp much more than we'd ever thought we'd get - every detail captured for us to always be able to go back to our special day. We've already decided to do a shoot for our one year anniversary and part of that is because we want to see and hang out with Ingrid again! Such a great creative eye, detail oriented, SO TALENTED and experienced, great team and chemistry (like literally, Ingrid isn't our vendor - she is our FRIEND), absolutely amazing photos. Our officiant used to plan weddings in Chicago and has been around the scene for a while; he said our wedding pictures from Ingrid were the best wedding photos he has ever seen. You won't be disappointed!

Rockstars!!

Ingrid’s energy is infectious! From the day we spoke to her on the phone until our viewing party after the wedding, Ingrid had such a warm, welcoming energy to her! In addition to her photography skills, we chose Ingrid because she was so extremely energetic and personal. She met with us twice before the big day to help build a personal relationship and camaraderie which made us feel at ease on our wedding day. Her second photographer, Michelle, and assistant, Danielle, were also very professional and attentive to detail. We received a lot of praise from our guests and bridal party on Ingrid and her team’s ability to make everyone feel so comfortable so quickly. Thank you Ingrid, Michelle, and Danielle for capturing our day and making us feel like rockstars!
