How to Choose a Wedding Photographer in Chicago Who Truly Tells Your Story

Choosing your wedding photographer is about more than beautiful images. It’s about trust. It’s about presence. It’s about how you want your day to be remembered.
In a city like Chicago — rich with architecture, energy, and emotion — your wedding deserves to be documented with intention. Not staged. Not rushed. But felt.

LOOK BEHIND THE PORTFOLIO

A strong portfolio matters — but what matters more is consistency.
Ask yourself:
  • Do the images feel emotional?
  • Do the couples look comfortable?
  • Do the moments feel real?
Your wedding day will move quickly. Your photographer should know how to anticipate moments before they happen.

UNDERSTANDING THEIR APPROACH

Some photographers direct heavily. Others observe quietly.
Neither is wrong — but one will feel more like you.
At Love & Moore, we believe in creating space for real moments to unfold while offering gentle guidance when needed. The result is imagery that feels effortless, elevated, and honest.

EXPERIENCE MATTERS

Chicago weddings come with their own rhythm — changing light, busy streets, grand venues.
An experienced photographer knows how to:
  • Adapt to any environment
  • Work seamlessly with planners and venues
  • Keep the day flowing without pressure
Experience creates calm — and calm creates beautiful images.

CONNECTION IS EVERYTHING

You should feel seen. Heard. Understood.
If you don’t feel comfortable with your photographer, it will show.
Choose someone who values your story — not just your aesthetic.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Your wedding photos will outlive the day. They will hold laughter, tears, and moments you didn’t even know happened.
Choose a photographer who honors that responsibility.
If you’re planning a wedding in Chicago or anywhere love takes you, Love & Moore would be honored to tell your story with intention and care.
