Absolute Best Photographer!!
•Verified review

Audrey went above and beyond for our wedding, and I couldn't ask for a better photographer!! She made us both feel very comfortable in front of the camera, but that started well before the day, by meeting in person to discuss our priorities, joining a venue walkthrough, and creating a timeline for us. We had a mostly DIY friend set up wedding so all her experience and advice was greatly appreciated--I even heard she helped light tea candles when my friends were in a pinch. AND the photos are STUNNING, but what truly made the experience special was how much Audrey got to know us, and we recommend her 100000%

I have always felt awkward in front of a camera, but working with Audrey changed that. She made it easy to relax and be ourselves, and the photos reflect that. They’re full of joy, emotion, and all the moments we’ll want to remember forever. She’s also incredibly responsive to emails and takes the time to really get to know her couples throughout the entire process, from booking to the wedding day. That personal connection made everything feel much more natural. One of the things that impressed us most was how thorough and organized Audrey was. She took thousands of photos and somehow managed to sort them beautifully into each part of the day, i.e. getting ready, the first look, ceremony, reception, and more. It made reliving the day feel effortless. We truly can't recommend her enough!
Highly Personable and Skilled Photographer!

Audrey did a fantastic job photographing our intimate Lincoln Park Conservatory micro-wedding in October 2024. She expertly directed us in terms of posing, was able to authentically capture the emotions of the day, and was incredibly personable, responsive, and professional to work with. We were so happy with our photos and would highly recommend Audrey as a photographer!
Amazing photos, even better experience

Audrey was an absolute joy to work with on our wedding day. From our very first interaction, Audrey was warm, direct, and upbeat, putting us at ease and helping us feel confident in front of the camera. Her creative vision shone through in the incredible photos she captured - she directed us expertly to look our absolute best, and were always looking to try new and innovative angles and shots. The final results were beyond anything we could have imagined, with beautiful, vibrant images that perfectly encapsulated the joy and love of our special day. We are thrilled with the work Audrey did for us and would recommend her to any couple looking for a talented, personable, and truly exceptional wedding photography experience.

Turnover for weddings is 2-3 months depending on workload. Sneak peak within 1 week post wedding. For portraits, engagement, boudoir session turnover is 2-4 weeks depending on workload.

Yes! I never expect any of my clients to know how to pose. That is my job. I like to aim for a mix of candids & posed photos. Even when posing my goal is to help you feel comfortable and look your best. We can discuss your insecurities, wants and needs at our consultation call.

This varies depending on the hours of coverage, number of guests, and what takes place at the wedding. At a minimum you can expect 500 edited images, for an average 8hr wedding day I usually deliver 1,000 edited images.

I have two of everything so if something goes wrong with a camera, lens, flash or SD card on a wedding day I have backups just in case! I also carry business insurance, liability insurance and my equipment is insured. Because technology isn't always reliable, I have 2-3 backups of each wedding I shoot. I archive your wedding after delivery for at least one year & teach my clients how to archive their images properly. I love to include a 2nd shooter because if anything happens to me they are already there, holding the date, and ready to step into a lead role. This is why I only hire seconds who I would trust to shoot your wedding.

Typically, couples book me about 13 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.
