She stays on the move during the event so that details and guests are covered as well as the main moments.

Using an engagement shoot

An engagement session at the beginning of your journey introduces you to the camera. It also lets you test locations and clothing choices before the wedding. Chicago offers lakefront paths, skyline views and neighborhood streets, so pick somewhere that feels familiar.

Planning your coverage

Decide how many hours you need by listing the parts of the day you want recorded: getting ready, ceremony, family portraits, cocktail hour and dancing. If you wish to include a first look or private vow reading, add time. A second photographer is useful for larger weddings or when two events occur at once.
