About

Hello! It is awesome to meet you!

I am Wendy, an award winning Chicago wedding photographer located in the beautiful historic neighborhood of Oak Park.

My photo journey started 15 years ago taking photos of concerts in Minneapolis! I fell in love with the art of photography and decided to make a career of photographing weddings. As a photographer who is sensitive to my surroundings, I create images that are intuitive to who you are and the story you tell. I love catching the details you so lovingly design into your wedding day and capturing the big picture of how awesome you, your wedding and guests are.

My style is clean, vivid and alive! Think action! Think magazine cover style! You can expect your photos to have a mix of photo-journalistic and candid with traditional detailed and posed shots blended in. Send a note and let's chat about your wedding day! I am flexible and easy going and love working with fun-loving couples who are madly in love! Yes! I will help you with all your photos and LOVE being the photo director on your wedding day.

Congratulations on your upcoming celebration! As you plan your special day, I offer a range of investments to suit your needs:

  • Average Wedding Investment: $5,000
  • Intimate Wedding Investment (up to 100 guests): Starting at $3,000

I create custom packages tailored specifically for each couple, ensuring that your unique vision is brought to life. Reach out here!

Creative | Passionate | Distinct

I love genuine smiles, love, nature, being silly, the sound of string instruments, and vintage things! Hope to hear from you!

Your wedding photographer, Wendy

Look No More

If you're still on the hunt for a photographer and you come across Wendy, look no further. Wendy is the most down to earth and genuine vendor I've worked with. She is so personable and easy to talk to, having pictures taken by her instantly felt like it was with someone | already knew. The turn around time on our engagement pictures was unbelievable, in a good way. I noticed something I wasn't crazy about because I'm too critical of myself, and she changed it right away, no questions asked. Her work with lighting is fantastic and she captured exactly what I was looking for. So incredibly grateful to be working with her.

Don't pick anyone else!

Mother of the bride here! My daughter Megan was really struggling to pick a photographer until she came across Wendy's website. She fell in love with her work right away but was so nervous to choose a photographer. There aren't very many details about her wedding that are truly important to her but the pictures of the most wonderful day of her life are (and her sparkly dress lol) Wendy did her engagement pictures and when Megan received her pictures she literally cried. They were 10 times more beautiful than she could have even imagined. Wendy is so personable and made Megan and Alex so comfortable while taking their pictures. The smiles on their face are natural and genuine. Do yourself a favor and stop looking for the perfect photographer because if you are on Wendy's website reading this review, you have already found her!

Courthouse & Reception Photos

My wife and I have been working with Wendy all year long - first for our engagement session and more recently for our wedding reception! I cannot recommend her enough. She was very professional and easy to work with seeing how I didn’t know anything about photography. Plus she was also easy-going, fun, and made taking photos enjoyable. Not to mention she really captured what I was going for. Highly recommend!

Amazing!!!!

Wendy is the absolute greatest! Not only did Wendy captivate so many important aspects of our wedding day, but she was always on top of her game. She made sure to take pictures of everything I wanted and then so much more. On top of that, Wendy is all around an amazing person and she’s been super helpful and kind throughout the entire wedding process! Our wedding wouldn’t have been as amazing without her! Also, I had several of my guests let me know what an amazing job she was doing. She is a rockstar!!!! I would recommend her to anyone who’s looking to get photos taken! Her work is unbelievable!
