About

"We are proud to announce that Photography by Margo has been rated by local brides and voted The Knot Best of Weddings 2008/2009 Pick."

"We are excited to have been chosen to receive the Bride’s Choice Awards™ 2010 by Wedding Wire." This award recognizes the top 5 percent of local wedding professionals from the WeddingWire Network who demonstrate excellence in quality, service and professionalism

My passion for capturing rare moments on film began at the age of 13. My grandparents were renewing their wedding vows on a family vacation to Greece and my father handed me his camera. The joy of seizing those treasured snapshots left an enduring impression on me, turning a hobby into my future career.

With almost a decade of professional experience behind a camera, I have had the pleasure of shooting important people, places, and events. I have photographed weddings at the most interesting locations in Chicago and beyond the Midwest: from the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, to an enchanting view at the Adler Planetarium, to making the traffic stop on Michigan Avenue. I have traveled as far as Manhattan Beach, CA and as close as a couple’s backyard to photograph the excitement of their first born!

I have been invited to work with amazing companies for special events thrown by the American Diabetes Association, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, The Lincoln Foundation, Merry Richards Jewelers, United Hellenic American Congress, Hellenic Museum, and Greek Circle Magazine. Not to mention television networks like Bravo, Comcast, VH1 for Save the Music, the Weather Channel, and many more. I’ve had the honor of meeting and photographing public persons and celebrities such as U.S. Deputy Secretary of State John D. Negroponte, Bill Gates, Mayor Richard M. Daley, Jeff Daniels, and Hank Azaria.

Behind the lens of my camera, I am continually inspired by the warmth and intimacy of special occasions. I would be honored to capture priceless images for you and your family, so that you too may enjoy those special moments for a lifetime.

Margo is wonderful! She offers laughter and comfort on your special day. Photography felt fun and easy rather than staged and nerve-wracking! Margo's prices are right and she had wonderful ideas for where to take our outside pictures. A+!

Margo helped to make our wedding day a breeze! She was very professional and attentive, but also flexible with us and fun to work with. She was always one step ahead of the day and didn't miss a shot. We were able to trust her to do her job well and not even worry about it. And the best part of all, the photographs of our wedding were amazing! We were very happy.

Margo took wonderful photographs of our wedding. One was so good it was used for marketing. Margo's journalistic approach to photograph allowed her to capture unique nontraditional pictures, while making sure all the traditional photographs were taken as well. My husband and I developed such an attachment to the photographs Margo took that five years after our wedding Margo took photographs of our baby. Margo knows how to take charge of a situation and incorporate all your wishes. I would recommend Margo to anyone who is getting married and wants unique photographs.
