About

Hi! We are The Spragues. I am Daniel and my wife is Katherine. We would love to talk about documenting your event so that you and your family can look back on your day for the rest of time, but first let me tell you a little about us. We obsess over coffee. We pine for all different types of delicious food. Speaking of, we love to cook! We endlessly thirst for travel to new places and and to revisit some of our favorites locations in the world. Italy and Australia being some of our favorites. We have an 8 year old daughter who is incredibly strong willed and we love her! Ok, that is probably a good enough introduction, we can talk more over coffee or beer!

Our Experience

My journey in photography began when I attended school for photojournalism. There, I was taught by some incredibly photographers how to watch for real moments and be ready to capture them in order to tell their story. After school Katherine and I started our business and she has been shooting with me ever since. Over the years Katherine has developed her own Photography career in food photography. We have been shooting together since 2009. We have been married since 2007. We have been together since 2003! To say that we work well together is an understatement!

Services Offered

Book them now, you won't regret it.

Kate and Dan are exactly what you want in wedding photographers — obviously wildly talented (their portfolio speaks for itself), but beyond that they are great with communication, patient with questions, willing to throw around ideas and best of all, see things that look like road blocks to you (like rain or a shut down bridge) as opportunities for a great shot. So from a professional standpoint, I had peace of mind knowing we were in good hands which is honestly priceless when you're planning a wedding. On top of that, Dan and Kate are just so personable that we were able to relax and be ourselves around them so we aren't stiff and awkward in the photos. They're the best

The Best Chicago Photographers

Words cannot express how highly we recommend The Spragues. Katherine and Daniel are two of the sweetest and coolest people ever and they made us feel immediately comfortable working with them. They took both our engagement wedding photos and we got a TON of amazing images that had been composed and edited with attention to detail and care. Their style is unique, artsy, and modern. They were able to capture the feel of our romantic Chicago wedding with a timeless style that is so characteristically THEM as artists but also US as a couple.

The wedding day goes by so fast that I was worried I would miss out on some of the details, but their photography captured every important moment, detail, and aspect of the day. Not only that, but they also delivered our full wedding album on CHRISTMAS DAY (the best present), which really captured their thoughtfulness and how much they care about the couples they work with.

Cannot recommend working with them enough! My one piece of advice is to put the extra money towards hiring both photographers (Katherine and Daniel) as a team—they were able to shoot in multiple places at the same time and working with both of them was truly special! Best decision we made!

Highly Recommended

Kate and Dan were amazing! We weren't quite sure what we wanted, but that didn't stop them from delivering photos we will love forever. Not only did they produce beautiful images to remember our special day, but they were able to suggest so many fantastic locations to shoot around Chicago. They are a great team that is easy to work with, extremely creative, and clearly know what they are doing. Highly recommend to anyone needing photographers.
