How It Works
More personal than a photo booth.
01
We plan around your timeline.
We’ll talk through your guest count, venue, and the parts of the celebration you most want covered.
02
Your photographer circulates.
Instead of asking guests to wait in line, we move through the event capturing couples, groups, and candid moments.
03
Guests leave with real prints.
Each photograph develops in their hands and becomes a keepsake from your wedding—not another image forgotten on a phone.
“This was such a fun thing to have at our wedding instead of the traditional photo booths.”
— Marissa & Henry
Frequently Asked Questions
A few things couples usually ask.
Can we choose a larger film format?
Yes. Instax Wide and classic Polaroid options are available depending on your timeline, guest count, and preferred look.
Do guests keep the photographs?
Yes. Photos are handed directly to guests as they’re made. Packages with an album also include selected prints saved for the couple.
How many photos will you take?
One photographer typically creates around 50–75 finished instant photos per hour. The exact number depends on your timeline, guest participation, and the pace of the event.
Can we add a second photographer?
Absolutely. A second photographer is helpful for larger guest counts, larger venues, and higher photo output.
Are digital copies included?
A digital gallery of the album and other retained prints can be added to most packages. Because guest photos are handed out immediately, those individual prints are not automatically collected or scanned.
What happens during dinner?
Coverage keeps moving with the reception. Dinner is often a good time to photograph speeches, catch guests between courses, and continue building the couple’s album.
How do we reserve our date?
A signed contract and 50% non-refundable retainer officially reserve your wedding date.
Do you travel outside Chicago?
Yes. Events outside Chicago city limits may include a travel fee based on the venue location.
