Your wedding was only 1 day. Wear the dress again. 🤍

Meet gugwa, a 1,600-square-foot portrait studio in Northbrook, IL.

After her wedding, this bride came back in her dress for indoor bridal portraits. We were so happy to create the dream portraits she'd been hoping for.

"They exceeded all our expectations!"

One city can give your pre-wedding portraits three completely different moods.

Soft sunset light by the lakefront, timeless architecture at Millennium Park, and the bold lines of LaSalle Street—each setting adds a different part of the story while still feeling connected.

Honor the tradition. Keep the feeling.

For couples who want their Korean engagement portraits to feel elegant without feeling stiff, we begin with connection.

The hanbok carries the history. The way you look at each other makes the portrait unmistakably yours.

Color or black and white—which would you frame?

Save this for your engagement inspiration and send it to the person planning with you.

You don’t have to choose between the wedding you imagined and the traditions that raised you.

A destination wedding can feel modern, personal, and entirely your own—while still making room for the traditions that connect your families and honor where you come from.

From the ceremony and quiet portraits to the paebaek and the celebration that follows, every part belongs to the same story.

We photograph destination and multicultural weddings with care for both the spontaneous moments and the traditions that cannot be repeated.

A courthouse wedding can still feel like the whole city is celebrating with you. 🤍

After making it official at Chicago City Hall, the newlyweds stepped into the heart of downtown for portraits surrounded by the city’s timeless architecture and skyline.

Simple, meaningful, and entirely their own—a beautiful reminder that an intimate wedding can hold just as much joy, romance, and intention.

In a room full of people, I’d still look for you. 🤍

The quiet glances, the soft laughter, and the moments in between—captured as they truly felt.

Your wedding day deserves to be remembered this way.
