About

Hi! I'm John, a wedding photographer & filmmaker from Chicago, IL. Documenting weddings and creating unique images is not just my passion; it’s my life's work.

I believe deeply that great wedding photography is about creating imagery that is as visually compelling, as it is emotionally significant. Weaving the images together to tell unforgettable stories. My distinct 'documentary meets fine-art' style is a product of my unrelenting commitment to this craft and the complete trust my couples place in me.

I primarily document weddings in the Chicago area, but I'm up for the adventure of traveling to any destination in the world. I am also one of the few wedding photographers that offers hybrid coverage.

I've been told that I'm the calm amidst the chaos. It's not uncommon for my couples to not only boast about their wedding images, but about how I calmed their nerves when things got tough.

My approach isn’t for everybody, but for those that feel it is, I hope to talk to you soon.

John is your man!

John was an amazing photographer! He was always communicating with us before and during the wedding. He was always available to talk which for a nervous bride helped a lot. During the wedding, he was very professional. He made sure we got the shots we wanted but respected our parents when they asked for extra shots. He came up with shots we never thought of that turned out to be our favorites! Hire John for all your special functions! I know we will be reaching out again to him.

I Can't Stop Looking at Them!

We are really happy with the relationship John built with us throughout our wedding planning. From the beginning he was transparent about his services and kept in touch throughout the year leading up to the day. He even sent us advice and tips on how to enjoy our day which meant a lot. The day-of he was very professional and I felt at ease because I could tell he was capturing all the important moments. But that is an under statement because he captured way more than I could have imagined. Every single shot is beautiful. There are even some artistic shots that we love. The turn around time for the pictures was also quick. Thank you for giving us memories that we will cherish forever!

Photography is my obsession... I live, eat, and breath it 24/7. I'm from Chicago, but now live in Naperville with my wife and our two girls. The oldest is 5 going on 15 and the youngest is 3 and loves the movie Kong vs Godzilla. And can't forget our two dogs!

I absolutely love weddings - they're filled with so much raw emotion. Everyone is dressed to impress and the locations are to die for. It's incredible to be apart of and a true honor to be the one capturing it all. Outside of photography, I love tacos, traveling & whiskey. I'd love to hear your story so send me a message!
