Chicago Wedding Photography

Documentary style photography that tells life’s story one chapter at time

Life is full of moments nobody plans for β€” the ones that catch you off guard and somehow explain exactly who you are, who you love, who you're building a life with. Those are the ones I'm after. Not the posed, not the perfect β€” the real. Because the goosebump moments are the ones you'll actually want years from now, sitting on a shelf, handed down to people who weren't even born yet.

Capturing the in between and unposed moments for all life’s chapters.

PROFESSIONAL MEMORY HOADER

Hello, my name is Nikki

I am a Chicago wedding and family photographer for the sentimental and nostalgic. I am driven by a passion for storytelling and documenting your life for you to keep forever. I am rooted in Chicago, IL, but will happily pack my bags to travel to wherever your story takes you. From the exchanged promises on your wedding day to the "tippy tappy" little feet running around your home for an intimate family session, I treasure the opportunity to document every season of my clients' lives. Becoming my couples' and families' forever photographer is an honor I do not take lightly.
