Every detail is illuminated to perfection.

This was such a romantic wedding morning as dreams turned into reality - the lace of gown, the sparkle of the ring, and the glow in our bride’s eyes - details with love documented in every photograph.

When I take photographs, I incorporate artful symmetry into every shot, to create the art of light and architecture while enhancing the moment.

I can’t get enough of the ethereal beauty of this wedding moment at the Rookery Building. It made for the perfect setting, making every single shot is absolutely perfect.

Symmetry plays a crucial role in my photography in creating a sense of balance and harmony, emphasizing the beauty of my couples’ love story.

When Calvin reached out to share his plan to propose to his girlfriend at the , my mind immediately envisioned the perfect shot - the second photograph - picturing the sunset I’ve witnessed there so many times.

When the day arrived, the actual photographs surpassed even my imagination. The soft light embraced every detail, and the emotions unfolded so beautifully before my lens.

As a photographer, there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a vision come to life - only to find it even more radiant than I had dreamed. Moments like this remind me why I’m so passionate about capturing love stories.
