Timeless Wedding Day Memories

You want to remember the feelings, not just the fancy stuff

The timeless wedding day memories are what make the day magical and unforgettable. Your wedding day is the love story between you and your fiance as well as the love between two families joining together to celebrate an amazing day. “I feel like I was there” is the comment I hear the most from people about my wedding photography. I love hearing that because I know I have captured the real love story of the wedding day.

Wedding Sneak Peak

Maybe you're on your honeymoon, sipping a cocktail on the beach with your honey when you get a surprise email! Ok, maybe not such a surprise because I'm telling you now.

Within a few days of the wedding I'll send you a sneak peak gallery because I know you can't wait to see and share photos!

This is one of my favorite moments of the wedding process because I know you are going to relive the happiest day of your life through photos.

Editing

While you are posting & sharing your sneak peak photos, I'm editing your full gallery of photos. I spend a great deal of time making sure your images are perfect. Notice in my images, there are never random people or cars in the background? Am I just that lucky? No! Shooting around Chicago, there will always be people walking through the background. There's something magical about you being the soul focus of an image without any distracting elements in the background.

Why I Love Weddings

Every couple I've photographed has a special place in my heart. Although we've met only a handful of times, by the end of a wedding I feel like part of your family. One of the reasons I like to spend several hours capturing the getting ready part of the day is because it gives me instant insight into your family. I like to see how you interact with each other. I've seen brides with her close raucus sisters who love teasing their mom and laughing out loud. And sentimental families who are quietly taking in every moment of the day. I tune into the mood of your family because this gives me a direction of how I should shoot your day. If your bridesmaids are fun & crazy, when we're taking photos I'm going to instigate them to let loose! If you are more low key, I'm going to tailor my direction to capture your personality.

"Every joyous occasion, you make extraordinary. I'm at an absolute loss for words for how happy you make me."

Kind Words

"After looking through countless galleries of Chicago-area photographers online, I was most drawn to Noelle's portfolio because her work seemed to capture real moments and emotions - it's not overly posed & cheesy, and it doesn't try too hard to be artsy. We met up with her and she was absolutely lovely in-person, clearly so passionate about her work, and the way she described her style was just what we were looking for. She was the only photographer we met with, and after that meeting we had no reason to explore anyone else. From there, Noelle did an absolutely amazing job throughout the entire wedding planning process."
