BEHIND THE LENS -

Hi! I am Karlie!

A wedding photographer with over a decade of experience and a quiet obsession with the moments couples almost miss.

I've photographed more than 150 weddings across Chicago and Europe, and I still believe the most important image from your day is one you didn't plan for.

If you're looking for someone you can trust completely on the most important day of your life — I'd love to talk.

Modern Portraiture

For Forever Couple

Portfolio

A black-and-white photo of a bride and groom embracing outdoors, with their foreheads touching and eyes closed, in a romantic moment.

Based out of the Chicagoland, most of the weddings I capture take place in Chicago and Europe.

As your wedding photographer, my role is to capture the authentic essence of your wedding day and turn it into keepsakes for generations to come.

Wedding photography is about more than just hiring someone to take pictures. Wedding photography is about carefully crafting and capturing the moments of your big day in a way that beautifully tells the story of your relationship. I try my best to capture photos in a natural way that doesn’t feel staged.

Choose your Own Adventure —

My photography feels very candid, modern, and chic - I always help my couples find the best angles and scout locations for portraits that truly align with their wedding vision.

Our team photographs all around Europe, the West Coast, and Chicago.

A man and a woman are kissing at a restaurant table. The woman is leaning over the table, holding the man's face with her left hand, and they are sharing a kiss. The restaurant has red walls, floral wallpaper on the ceiling, and a floral painting hanging behind them.

“W e are so ridiculously in love with these photos!”

All I can say is WOW. We are so ridiculously in love with these photos. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for capturing exactly what we wanted and needed. The editing is absolutely perfect - and I am SO glad we made it to the riverwalk because those are some of my favorites!!! I received so many compliments of how professional you are, easy to talk to. Some of my girls even called you their "HYPE GIRL". I love it! Really, I am so glad we chose you to be our photographer. Thank you for being on this journey with us!
