Planning to propose in Chicago? Photographing this exciting and extraordinary moment is the perfect way to look back together and enjoy this exciting moment over and over! You have come to the right place..
Being able to look back at this beautiful season in your life is so charming! You may have spent countless hours deciding exactly how you want to pop the question. It doesn't matter if you want it to be secret or in front of everyone close to you both. We will work together to put the perfect plan into place!
Let's plan a day, pick a meaningful location, and create a slew of images that will fill up the frames on your walls for years to come.

I can't wait to hear your story. Let's schedule a call to designate the best location based on your vision. As a Chicago local, I can help you find the perfect fit for your proposal location.
Grab an iced latte, an old fashioned or whatever tickels your fancy, and let’s chat!

Once your date is officially reserved, I'll send over a few goodies to help you prepare for the big day. The experience I offer goes beyond photographing your proposal, helping you find the perfect location and offering advice on how things like time of day can affect your experience.
let's get down to the details

Your proposal includes a planning session where we scout the chosen location together so I know exactly where to be on proposal day. If we are unable to meet in person a virtual meeting works great as well!

You can expect your photos to be delivered via an online gallery within about three weeks of your session. At that time, I'll also send over details about preserving your images through prints and albums.
