Chicago Wedding Photographer
Stand the test of time
Chicago + Beyond documentary-style photography
I’m Jeffrey (or just Jeff)
A documentary-style Chicago wedding photographer with an editorial flair.
My dedication to capturing your day as it naturally unfolds is CENTRAL to all that I do to create art of your already BEAUTIFUL moments. Intentionally pairing my documentary style with a bit of editorial creates an archive of authentic moments and emotive art. I’m a people person at heart, a sucker for stunning visuals, and a fan of breaking the mold of what is expected for what is real.
My Values as a Wedding Photographer
1. Story Matters Most
Let’s keep the main thing the main thing, your love story unfolding naturally, just as it’s meant to. My goal is to be as unobtrusive as possible, allowing you to stay fully present in every moment. The last thing you should worry about is a photographer interrupting the magic; I’m there quietly and intentionally, ready to capture each fleeting, genuine moment as it happens.
2. People at the Center
For me, people are at the heart of everything I do as a wedding photographer. I love grabbing drinks and getting to know my couples before the big day so that, by the time the wedding arrives, it feels like I’m celebrating with friends. Beyond just capturing moments, I make it my mission to ensure everyone, especially those closest to you, feels seen, cared for, and valued throughout the day.
3. Authenticity Wins
Authenticity is at the heart of every archive of images I create. Even in the posed moments, my focus is on capturing what feels true to you, your natural connection, your energy, your story. I want your photos to reflect who you are together, not just how you looked that day, so every image feels real, effortless, and deeply you.
4. Stand the Test of Time
My approach to wedding photography is rooted in creating images that stand the test of time. From my film-inspired editing style to incorporating real film throughout the day, every choice is made with longevity in mind. I want your photos to feel as beautiful and true decades from now as they do today, timeless, emotive, and effortlessly classic.
“We could not have asked for a more a personal and caring photographer. Jeff’s attention to detail, sensitivity to the moment, and overall care for how he photographed our day is unmatched. We knew from the beginning he was the best choice and our experience + the photos surely proved us right!”
