Hey there awesome souls!

We're Eljay and Jennifer.

Partners in life, love and the art of

freezing moments in time.

They say two heads are better than one, and we couldn't agree more. As a married couple, we bring a mix of laughter, love, and a touch of mischief to every shoot. Eljay is the technical maestro, wielding cameras like wands, while Jennifer is the second shooter and creative wizard behind the editing magic, sprinkling magic dust on every frame.

Being a husband and wife team gives us a unique advantage. We understand the dynamics of love, family, and connection on a personal level, and this reflects in our work. Our clients often mention the comfortable and relaxed atmosphere we create, allowing them to be themselves in front of the lens.

For the past 11 incredible years, we've shared laughter, built dreams, and grown together. Celebrating 3 years of marriage, we're excited to let you into our world of storytelling through the lens.

Beyond the camera, we're a duo who loves adventure and share a love story that keeps evolving. From spontaneous road trips, quiet sunset walks to cozy movie nights at home, we believe in savoring life's simple joys. These shared experiences not only define us but also inspire the way we capture the unique narratives of others.

As a couple who's been through a wonderful decade together, we understand the beauty of commitment and the magic that comes with capturing milestones. Through our photography, we aim to not only document your special moments but also to share in the joy and connection that make those moments unforgettable.

Meet Our Team

We're partners in every sense—best friends, adventure buddies, and each other's greatest supporters. Our journey behind the camera began as a shared hobby, blossoming into a mutual passion that mirrors our love story.

Currently rooted in Chicago Illinois, however, we're always up for an adventure and willing to travel to document your special moments.

Philosophy


Our approach to photography is grounded in authenticity. We believe in capturing life as it is, with all its imperfections and quirks. We seek the extraordinary within the ordinary and aim to reveal the hidden stories that often go unnoticed. Whether it's a wedding, a family portrait, or a special event, we aim to capture the essence of the moment, preserving emotions and memories in each frame.


Want to know more about the couple behind the camera? Drop us a message! We're not just photographers; we're real people with a love for life and storytelling. Let's make magic together and create memories that last a lifetime.
