In the spirit of transparency, I didn't set out to be a wedding photographer. Rather, I spent the early years of my business vehemently avoiding photographing weddings, because I didn't really consider myself to be the "wedding type".
But once I did start photographing weddings, I began to understand that they aren't really about the mood boards, or the dress, or even the photos; weddings are about human beings, and relationships, and fleeting moments and joy and celebrating the fact that you've found a person who you want to hang out with for the rest of your life, while being surrounded by all of the people who love each of you, and who you love in return. And that's when I realized that maybe I am the wedding type after all - when I found myself falling in love with these people, and the little moments that make up their days, and the ways in which they love one another.
So at a base level, I would love the opportunity to be your wedding photographer. But more than that, I would love the opportunity to get to know you all, and to capture who the two of you are, both individually and together, and the things and the people and the love that bring you joy.

Lauren and Jeremiah are MAGIC, and so was their wedding day. It was Lord of the Rings meets Pride and Prejudice, it was ethereal and thoughtful and so dang fun, it was everything you could possibly want in one of the best days of your life. I adore these two and this one will stay with me for a long time. @laurensaurus24 @jer_mcfly @meyerscastle @fio.vespa #brookealaina #chicagoweddingphotographer

I’m convinced that I’m in the midst of one of the best wedding seasons I’ve had (though I’m sure I’ve said this before, and I’m nearly certain I’ll say it again, haha). It often feels like to pick 20 photos out of a couple thousand doesn’t do the day justice, but man, I’ve gotta try. Here’s a handful of my many favorites from Kendall and Cal’s wedding day this past weekend - it was perfect. 🫶🏼 @kendallvrchota @calvrchota @tailoredevents_co @oliveandoakvenue @taragripp @renee.rumler

Brent and Felecia envisioned their wedding weekend in the woods, surrounded by nature while spending quality time with their closest and best. And it was exactly that! And exactly them. 🤍🥂 @fnmartin1 @loomis.brent #brookealaina @gordonlodge @belleza_bridal_artistrygb
