Chicago WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER FOR DESIGN-MINDED COUPLES
You’ve probably reached the point where the fashion, feeling, and atmosphere are beginning to mentally come together, but turning that vision into a wedding day that flows naturally can feel like an entirely different assignment. My job is to help you think through the details that affect your photographs, from timing and light to locations, styling, and how the day flows.
You want magazine worthy wedding photos, but you also want to enjoy the day that creates them.
Whether your wedding takes place in a downtown hotel, historic estate, private club, coastal resort, or somewhere that requires a passport and a very cute outfit, I bring the same level of preparation, creative attention, and personal involvement to the experience.
CHICAGO Wedding Photography Experience
"Kailee was one of our favorite wedding vendors! From the very beginning her bubbly personality made us feel so comfortable and we were excited to work with her! We planned our wedding from a distance and despite that distance, Kailee communicated exceptionally well and never missed a beat. When the day finally came, her calm demeanor put us at ease and we felt totally comfortable. She was so professional, took her time with our pictures, and made us feel and look like a million bucks! Her photography alone is what grasped our attention, but her personality and the way she can make you feel cared for is what really stands her out from other vendors. She is a vendor that is passionate about her work and her clients. She is accepting and loving of everyone and that is what we love most! " A & J
"Kailee was an absolute gem to work with the entire planning process and especially on the wedding day. I spent almost my entire day with her by my side and I am so thankful for the joy she brought to my day, and of course the attention to detail! The planning process was clear and organized & she sat down with me to help me make our entire days timeline which was a huge help. Kailee absolutely nailed our engagement pictures and wedding day photos. We have received an unbelievable amount of compliments on both! We are so thankful we chose Kailee as our photographer and would absolutely do it again. She has a TRUE gift in the photography world!" R & C

I fell into wedding photography unexpectedly and stayed because it brings together everything I love: fashion, design, emotion, high-pressure problem-solving, and the energy of a room filled with people ready to celebrate. I’m bubbly, particular, honest, and deeply invested in my couples. I’ll help refine the visual plan, tell you when the light is better somewhere else, fix the dress, keep the timeline moving, and remind you exactly how good you look.
My couples hire me because they’re obsessed with my photos, but they trust me because I care just as much about the experience that creates them.
Chicago Wedding Photographer, lifelong glam girl, and lover of good light.
This is your wedding day, you should have your cake and eat it, too! My intention is always to deliver photos that look like they belong in Vogue without making you feel like you’re on set. I want your photos to feel emotionally significant decades after I take them, which means there needs to be a careful balance between creative direction and unplanned moments.
Film-inspired, Editorial Direction, and Honest Observation.
If you’re looking for a Chicago wedding photographer who’ll understand the vision, guide you honestly, and care about the entire experience, not only the final gallery, I’d love to hear what you’re creating.
You deserve photos that reflect the beauty of what you planned and the emotion of what you experienced.
Editorially composed,
emotionally lived.
