Hi, I’m Grace, a Chicago-based photographer and artist.
Guided by my background in fine art, my approach to wedding photography is grounded in celebrating connection and intimacy. I came into this career through an affinity for photographing couples and my love of analog film photography. I take pride in documenting love in all its wonderful forms, always driven by a curiosity and love for others.
“Grace is such an artist and master of her craft.
Working with her truly felt like working with a friend. ”

A people-person documenting love and life.
My approach to photography is a blend of thoughtful direction and observing the candid moments that naturally unfold at weddings. I’m most interested in the intimate moments, unexpected humor, and joy that are found at these celebrations.
It’s important to feel comfortable with your photographer, so I promise to support you and your decisions throughout this entire process. Fostering genuine connections with my couples is one of my favorite parts of my job, and I’m truly so grateful to document each and every love story.
Beyond weddings, I have experience publishing photography books, exhibiting in galleries, mentoring emerging photographers, and leading art critique groups.
“Once we had the chance to meet Grace, we instantly knew she was someone we wanted to work with.
— Andrea and Robert
Clients choose to work with me for my timeless photographs, intentional direction, and the joy I bring to each wedding.
Film photography is what made me fall in love with this craft, and it remains at the heart of everything I create. Whether it’s a full wedding weekend, an intimate celebration, or a tender engagement session, I always strive to create beautiful (and sometimes experimental) photographs that honor you through my unique point of view. Most of the photos on my website are film photographs, but every wedding package includes both digital and film photography.
“Between digital, film and Super8 Grace and her team captured the spirit of the day so perfectly.”
— Clarisse and Rachel
