A little about me!

I’m Chad, and I’m a lifestyle & wedding photographer based in Chicago, IL. I was born and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana. I got into photography in 2016 by jumping right into shooting weekend adventures with my friends and slowly built up my portfolio and defined my style. Funny enough, I used to hate taking photos of people, but as time went on and the years passed, I found my passion for capturing simple moments in beautiful stories. In 2022, I finally made the transition into a full-time career in photography! This was years in the making, and I finally went all into the dream. I moved to Chicago in late 2022 with only 1 job lined up! I moved on a dream and a prayer, and the Lord has opened doors I never thought possible. I joined Creative Club Chicago in January of 2023 to become the editor for the podcast Rally Caps. Along with editing the podcast, I have been able to learn firsthand from some wedding photographers who have boosted my career by leaps and bounds! So far, my time in Chicago has been full of so many blessings that I never thought imaginable. Through this, my main focus has shifted towards individual portraits, couples, engagements, elopements, and weddings around the Chicago area and worldwide. Capturing photos that will help you relive life’s special moments is why I love creating. Send me a message. Let’s bring your story to life!
