SAY ABOUT US
Gia went above and beyond to make our dream come true! My girlfriend and I took some days off from work to visit Chicago. Without my girlfriend knowing, I contacted Gia because I saw some beautiful surprise proposal photos online from her. I wanted the moment to be a surprise for my girlfriend (now fiancée!) so Gia and I set a time and date for the proposal. I was really nervous (not something I do everyday) since the proposal day was really cold and windy but Gia made sure to capture every single moment from the proposal and the photos turned out to be awesome. We have shown the photos to our loved ones and friends and are able to recreate the moment every time. We will remember this day for the rest of our lives and appreciate all the effort and kindness from Gia. Look no more for the perfect surprise proposal photographer!

Gia is probably the most bubbling and positive person you have ever met. Not only she is an amazing photographer, but also a great person. She did my prenatal photo session and my son’s baptism photos and I couldn’t have been happier with the way they came out!
Professional, fast and very efficient, lovely character and beautiful person!

A word from
the Photographer
For me, photography is more than a job, it is also my passion in life. As I think my images show, I love to photograph most of all happy people in exquisite settings. I take most of my photos in a photojournalistic way and my approach to wedding photography is that of a narrator, and my style is a mix of photojournalism and creative portraiture. To that end, I’m more interested in capturing the moment, rather than a fake smile, and so, after many years of experience, I know when to capture life as it happens without restraint.

WHY CHOOSE US
PROFESSIONALISM
- We take pride in the professionalism we have and like to provide to all of our clients.
- We give free consultations and take into account everyone’s ideas and thoughts.
PUNCTUALILTY
- As a professor of mine once said “if you can’t be on time, be early.” I try to live by that rule in professional and personal life.
- The last thing a couple needs on their wedding day is for vendors to run late or not show up.
- I get to every photo-shoot early and make sure everyone involved is calm and relaxed.
FLEXIBILITY
- Considering that we live in the Chicagoland area where the weather is very spontaneous, it’s only natural to reschedule and postpone photo-shoots.
- There are no extra charges for rescheduling, regardless of the reason.
WE LOVE YOUR INPUT
- I don’t believe that there is such a thing as a bridezilla.
- Only women/couples who know exactly what they want from their wedding or engagement photos.
- And because it is your wedding day, not mine, I like to hear what you want and any ideas and thoughts for photos are welcome.
CREATIVITY
- Most photos are done with a photojournalistic point of view, however, for weddings I also like to have the traditional, staged family photos.
- You do have a final say in what kind of style photography you like.
- I do like to have most candid and artistic styles, but it’s your wedding and we’d like your input.
CARING
- Having been a bride myself, I know the importance of the wedding day and everything leading up to it.
- I want to be certain that you get everything you wanted for that day.

Get the Right Engagement Photos in Your Favorite Location
Getting the engagement photos just right is almost as important as the wedding photos. You will use these for save-the-dates, wedding website and possibly the invitations to the wedding. So having the right photos is crucial. One of the most important choices is the locations where you will have your engagement photos done. Luckily for us, Chicago has dozens of absolutely amazing views and natural backdrops. You can choose the city with its great downtown area and many bridges. Or you can choose one of the hundreds of parks Chicago has to offer. You can also go to the beach and have an beautiful lake in the background.
The photo-shoot usually last for about 1.5-2 hours and we offer photographs taken at one or more locations, depending on the time available. The entire photo session costs $275.00 and you receive your photos about two weeks later, edited and in high resolution along with the copyrights. During the session most photos will be photojournalistic style, for that’s what we specialize in, but also we will do some of the more classic and traditional poses.
