Contact me conveniently using the form below and we'll plan our meet-cute! I'm a one woman show, so I'll get back to you within 24-72 hours, and we'll book a video call or hang out in person to get to know each other and dish on the deets.
1. get in touch and book a call
After we've clicked and you're sure I'm the one, I'll send you the contract to read and review and you'll book your date with the deposit! Once we've agreed on the terms and electronically signed the dotted lines, you're officially booked on the calendar and we are ready to ROLL.
2. Save the date with a deposit
During the months leading up to your wedding, it's going to be planning central over at your place. Whether you're an organizational wiz or making it up as you go, I'll be right there with you as a resource and built-in second opinion if you need it. Make your plans, call me/beep me, and we can talk over the details if that's your thing! If you've got it handled, shoot me a text or email every so often when you book your vendors and I can reach out to make sure we're all coordinated for the big day as a seamless team. I can also work with you and your vendors to create the day-of schedule! Choose your adventure.
3. Plan, Text me, rinse, repeat
One month before your wedding I'll check in and send you a final questionnaire to confirm all the details, vendors, and guest information, and you'll pay the remaining balance. We will confirm the day's schedule one week out, and when something inevitably comes up last minute, I'll swiftly adapt and handle those changes like it was our plan all along, shhhhhhh.
4. Final Payment and details
It's the day you've been dreaming about, and it's time to let all your plans go and just live it to the fullest. You and your love are going to get glam and get hitched, and I'll be with you every step of the way! I'll capture your special moments throughout the day, and party with you deep into the night. I'll leave you at the end our time to finish your evening with your nearest and dearest, and within 24 hours you'll receive a sneak peak gallery of your photos to share right away!
5. Showtime!
While you enjoy your preview images for the time being, you'll receive your full digital gallery of photos within 8-10 weeks depending on the season .
You'll download your photos and backups to a safe place, and I'll host your gallery for one year. You'll also have access to a built-in gallery shop to order your prints and presents however you'd like!
6. delivered. they're all yours!
My husband and I booked Renata to take our wedding pictures after our court marriage in Chicago. From the beginning she was very collaborative and eager to learn about our vision and wishes during a get-to-know video call. Renata made us feel very comfortable throughout the shoot and was full of energy. I even forgot the freezing weather for a while thanks to her. When some friends surprised us in front of the wedding court she spontaneously offered to take some awesome group pictures. All in all, we’ll recommend Renata to everyone in Chicago who wants a genuine, and creative photographer to take unforgettable pictures!

Testimonials
"Renata is a consummate professional. She takes great care to capture the story and background of people's love for each other. Unfortunately we had to postpone our wedding for unrelated reasons, but Renata was kind and understanding throughout the process. I was very impressed with the intimate care she put into the artistry of her design. She had some very creative ideas for us including photos of our most prized possessions together with our rings; I was touched. Renata is definitely worth it and I can't recommend her enough."
