RESOURCES FOR CLIENTS
Planning a session or event in Chicago comes with real moving parts—locations, timing, weather, parking, budgeting, and overall flow. This page was created as a centralized resource to support our clients through that process with clarity and confidence. Here you’ll find practical guidance on posing styles, preparation tips, outfit considerations, and budgeting insights, along with trusted local recommendations such as event spaces, venues, and complementary service providers. Whether you’re booking wedding coverage, event photography, professional portraits, or photobooth and 360 booth experiences, these resources are designed to help you make informed decisions and move forward feeling prepared from start to finish.
Helpful Local Recommendations
As part of our commitment to supporting our clients beyond photography, we share a curated list of recommended Chicago businesses to assist with planning and preparation. These recommendations are based on real experience, professional respect, and consistent quality—not paid placements. They’re offered as a resource to help save time, reduce uncertainty, and connect you with trusted professionals who complement your experience and contribute to a smooth, well-supported event or session.
Client Albums & Image Delivery
After your session or event, your images are delivered through our client gallery, a private and easy-to-navigate space designed for viewing, downloading, and sharing your final photos. From there, images can be easily shared on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and Pinterest, saved directly to your desktop or mobile device, or ordered as professional prints. The gallery experience is built to be flexible and accessible, allowing you to enjoy, distribute, and preserve your images in the ways that best fit your needs.
Wedding Style & Outfit Inspiration
Finding the perfect look for your ceremony, rehearsal dinner, or engagement session should feel exciting, not overwhelming. These sites give you runway trends, curated galleries, and outfit planning guides.
Pinterest remains one of the most powerful tools for urban style discovery when used intentionally. Search with specificity—terms like “city wedding style,” “editorial engagement outfits,” “modern groom attire,” or “minimalist bridal fashion”—to build mood boards that align with your venue, season, and personal style. These boards are also helpful when communicating your vision to stylists, planners, and photographers.

Photobooth Experiences That Create Guest Interaction and Lasting Keepsakes
A photobooth is an interactive event feature designed to give guests a dedicated space to step out of the crowd and intentionally capture moments together. Unlike traditional event photography, which documents the event as it unfolds, a photobooth invites participation. Guests choose when to engage, how to pose, and who they step in with, making each image personal, expressive, and memorable.
The value of a photobooth lies in how it shapes the guest experience. It encourages connection, sparks conversation, and adds an element of fun without disrupting the flow of the event. The photos created become instant keepsakes that guests revisit long after the event ends, while hosts benefit from higher engagement, a more relaxed atmosphere, and meaningful visual memories that extend beyond the night itself.
