2027 dates are filling up!

I work with a small number of couples each year so I can really invest in each one. If you’re eloping or planning something intimate, I’d love to connect.

About Cooper’s Mill Photography

Cooper’s Mill Photography

Hiii! I’m a southside Chicago gal who has been shooting for over 20 years! I love people and connection and telling your story. I love when my couples and I can connect and have little inside jokes. I truly love when I can sync up with couples for a personality match!

I’m a mom of three and I take wedding days a lot like parenting. It doesn’t always go according to plan, you sometimes have to wrangle a groomsman like a toddler, and you always have an oh-shit-kit just in case!

Kirsten officiated and photographed my elopement in Glacier National Park. To say she hit it out of the park is an understatement, my ceremony was so special and intimate, exactly what we wanted. My husband and I are shy photography subjects but Kirsten made us feel so comfortable and gave us very natural pose, we felt very well taken care of.

Typically, couples book me about 13 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame. I’m almost fully booked for this year.

I do! All of my packages include a second photographer. I have a great group of friends and professionals that do amazing work and I would be happy to have them at my own wedding so I know I can trust them to do amazing work for yours!

Definitely. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. I also offer retouching services like blemish removal and teeth whitening for an additional charge.

My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 4-6 weeks after your wedding.

You can expect about 80 to 100 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.

I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.

In my years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues or my contracted assistant.

No, I prefer focusing on photography only, so you can get the best wedding pictures possible. But I have some amazing vendors that I love to work with so feel free to ask for recommendations!
