How much do couples typically invest?

Weddings: $5,500–$11,000. Most couples land at $7,000–$9,500 for Jeremy-led coverage with two photographers, 48-hour highlights, and hand-edited galleries. Associate-led collections start at $5,500. Proposals: $750–$1,100. Engagements: $750–$1,050.

How fast will we get photos?

Highlights: 24–72 hours depending on collection. Full gallery: 3–5 weeks, hand-edited by me. Never rushed, never outsourced.

We want great photos but we are self conscious and feel a little scared about not looking good. Will this be awkward?

About 70% of my couples say exactly this. I spent 10+ years as a professional actor, director, and acting coach—including work at Steppenwolf Theatre Company and a Jeff Award. I give you something real to do. You'll be so focused on each other, you'll forget I'm there. That's when the magic happens.

What does your theater background actually do for us?

Three things: 1. I know how it feels to be on camera. 2. I read energy and adapt. 3. I find the moments. You're not performing. You're living your day while I use 10+ years of experience to help you look and feel like yourselves.

What's the difference between Jeremy-led and associate-led?

Jeremy-led: I'm your primary photographer. $7,000–$11,000. Associate-led: One of my personally selected and trained photographers leads your day. Same artistic direction and editing style—because I edit every single gallery myself. $5,500–$7,750.

Our venue has terrible lighting. Is that a problem?

No. I thrive in low light. Professional gear, mastery of ambient light, and years of shooting in dark churches, candlelit receptions, and nighttime ceremonies. I bring subtle professional lighting your guests won't even notice.

Our venue isn't very photogenic. Can you still make it look good?

There are no boring venues—only boring photographers. I started as a fine art street photographer—I find beauty in unexpected places. Your venue becomes a canvas. I find the light, the angles, the textures. Trust the process.

Do you travel for weddings?

Yes—Chicagoland, Midwest, and destination weddings worldwide. Travel fees apply outside the Chicago area. Share your plans and I'll send a tailored quote.

How do proposal sessions work?

I handle everything: location scouting, timing by light, hidden positioning. I'm in place before you arrive—invisible until after the 'yes.' Then we celebrate with portraits. Highlights delivered within 48–72 hours. Last-minute requests welcome—I accommodate proposals with as little as 48 hours notice.
