Margarita Chudinova Photography

Chicago Wedding Photographer

I’m a wedding photographer based in Chicago, with a big love for capturing authentic emotions, timeless moments, and all the little details that make your day unique. Whether it’s a quiet look, a burst of laughter, or a beautiful sunset kiss, I believe those are the moments you’ll want to remember forever.

What sets me apart is the way I blend natural candid moments with gentle direction, so your photos look effortless but still polished. My approach is warm, relaxed, and storytelling-driven—I want you to feel comfortable in front of the camera so your real connection shines through.

    We Love Our Pictures

    We were so happy with our pictures from our wedding day! Margarita was very sweet and helped us capture some really nice pictures of our day. She helped with poses and made sure we had all of the important pictures taken care of. There was not a time where she was not either taking a picture, or setting one up. She was also very fairly priced for those looking to not blow their budget. Would highly recommend!

Typically, couples book me about 6 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.
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.
You can expect about 50 to 70 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.
My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 4-6 weeks after your wedding.
Sometimes, I’ll bring one or more assistant photographers depending on the size of your wedding.
No, I prefer focusing on photography only, so you can get the best wedding pictures possible.
