The day you have been dreaming about is approaching and I know just how important it is for you to find the right person to help you capture every single moment of it. 



I am owner of Wheat & Willow Photography, dog lover, mama of 4, forever Californian in my heart, wedding photographer, and a behavior special education teacher. I grew up in Normal, Illinois but have lived and traveled all over the world. I spent 9 years living in San Diego and yes, I miss the weather every day! :)


I started my business in 2020 and in three short years, we have gone from a small little business created in the middle of a pandemic to shooting weddings at the biggest resorts in Northwest, Illinois and Northeast Iowa. 

The reviews don't lie, our 5 star rating on Google and social media sites reflect our dedication to our clients. Take a scroll down and see what the testimonials say! 

I believe the reason for our success is largely built on treating our clients like treasured friends. Your wedding photographer should be someone who takes the time to know you, and someone who eases wedding day jitters. And, hopefully someone who eventually becomes a friend.

Let's be friends :)
