My style blends candid, documentary storytelling with refined, editorial portraiture. I believe the most powerful wedding galleries include both - honest, unscripted moments alongside beautiful guided portraits created with intention.
While I document events as they naturally unfold, I also place great value on posed imagery. These photographs become heirlooms - the images future generations return to, framed on walls and passed down over time. Every couple I photograph receives a balance of emotional storytelling and fine-art portraits that feel limelessm elegant, and personal.
I photograph weddings with a level of care shaped by years of experience working in high-pressure environments and with high-profile clients. Wedding coverage includes a second professional photographer to ensure your day is captured fully and seamlessly, from multiple perspectives.
For local weddings, a complimentary engagement session is included. This time together allows couples to feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera long before the wedding day, creating a natural, effortless experience.
Every image you receive is personally reviews and hand-edited by me. I preserve true-to-life color, natural skin tones, and clean, timeless aesthetic - avoiding heavy filters or trendy overlays.
I photograph and edit with intention, guiding couples in ways that feel natural while ensuring they look confident, refined, and at their very best. Each gallery reflects the same level of care and attention, from the first image to the last.
Based in Chicago and Northwest Indiana, I photograph weddings nationwide and internationally for couples who value legacy, discretion, and artistry. I am a wife, a mother, and someone who deeply understands the importance of preserving moments that matter - not just for today, but for generations to come.
If you are seeking a wedding photographer who offers experience, guidance, and imagery that endures beyond trends, I would be honered to tell your story.
I'm GG - the photographer behind Pictures by GG.
For over 13 years, I've photographed meaningful moments for families, public figures, and couples who value intention, artistry, and experience. My work has been nationally published in outlets such as People, Vanity Fair, ABC News, Business Insider, and more - the result of trusted access, refined vision, and deep understanding of how people want to be seen.
On wedding days, my role goes far beyond taking photographs. I bring a calm, grounded presence and a thoughtful approach that allows you to be fully present while I document your day with care and precision.
