Hello--I'm so happy you made your way here! I am a wedding and elopement photographer based in Chicago, IL offering destination packages as well as services free of travel fees within roughly two hours driving distance of Chicago. I am an adventurer, nature lover, and artist and I think my style reflects that. The images I curate for my wedding albums are earthy, true color, rich, and timeless, showcasing all the beautiful details and moments between couples and their loved ones on their special day.

I offer a number of packages depending on your hourly needs and those range from a 2 hour elopement up to a 10-hour all day wedding event. All of my wedding packages include 75+ edited photos per hour of shooting, (I typically exceed that because it's so hard to cut down precious memories!), assistance with timeline and details leading up to and on the day of, an online album for friends and family, and a full print release. With the 10-hour you also receive an engagement or post-wedding shoot and an optional second shooter, both of which can be added on to other options as well.

Most importantly, I'm here to help you have the best day possible and take your mind off any worry about capturing the important moments you want remembered forever. I am personable and friendlly and am willing to help with any details outside of photography that might need last minute doing, so don't hesitate to ask in the moment! I want to help you create a collection of images that you can cherish and look back on for years to come with happiness and joy. I look forward to connecting!

Ivy photographed our small elopement style wedding. She was amazing! She is professional, friendly, experienced and so helpful. She gave us great direction for poses and made us feel so comfortable.

Great photos, awesome photographer

In addition to beautifully capturing our wedding — both candidly and in formally posed shots — the best part of working with Ivy is her calm presence. She put everyone in the wedding party at ease while confidently directing the shoot. She is so professional and fun at the same time. Also easy to communicate with and works to understand the vibe/setting/atmosphere to capture your vision for your shoot!
