More than just wedding photography…

With my best friend and business associate, Kelly Feldmiller, we team up to provide bespoke wedding photography services. There are two things that matter most in our work. The first: create wedding photos that make your heart swell. The second: help you have a magical day. 

What makes our wedding photography different?

During the planning process, it’s easy to lose touch with the meaning of the moment. You have a million and one things you’re juggling. What if you had one less thing? What if you had a vendor who felt more like a friend than a person to manage? 

That’s what we want to be.  Not only have we done this a time or two, but we’ve also been in your shoes. You can count on us for more than just beautiful, storytelling photos. In the months, weeks, and days leading up to your wedding, we’ll do everything we can on our end to make things easier and the day everything you imagine it to be. 

Because we’re all about that magic. 

A little about Chicago wedding photographers Kelly Feldmiller and Maggie Rife Ponce

We’re Kelly and Maggie, two best friends turned shooting mates. Self-described “feelers,” we are in love with all things that make our hearts pitter-patter- a great book, twinkly lights, a good rom-com, and puppy adoption websites. Kelly’s the logistics queen with a unique eye and killer taste. She keeps Maggie’s visions of grandeur in check, while also knowing when to roll with it. Together we’re a balance that works-making a day on the job something we look forward to always. 

 

Our approach to wedding photos…

Storytelling & Artistic – We tell the story of your day in a beautiful narrative. For all the moments you want to experience again and again and for all the ones you missed during the hustle and bustle. We’re there to capture them with artistry. 

Whether a tight shot showing a gentle touch or a sweeping frame capturing the setting, our images will take you back in time. We love the pretty, the styled, the amusing, poignant, the tender. We create tasteful and timeless wedding photos.

In short, we’re all about the art and the story.

 

Beyond our wedding photography…

As important, we care about your experience. We’re mindful of your space and honor the moment.

We like to think we help our brides and grooms sleep a little better leading up to The Day. Just like we would (and have!) for our own friends, we think of ourselves as a resource for more than just photography. You can come to us for everything from organizing a timeline to making the day flow smoothly, to scouting out the best locations for display-worthy pictures.

we prefer fewer.

We intentionally take only take a handful of weddings each year. Keeping things small gives us more room for creativity and leaves us more accessible to you.

 Chicago wedding photography packages begin at $6,000. Special pricing is available for intimate ceremonies, bundle boudoir photography and wedding coverage,  and destination wedding photography. Please inquire for more information.
