Chicago Elopement & Intimate Wedding Photographer
Emotional. Honest. Timeless.
Elopements & Intimate Weddings
Elopements and Intimate Weddings are just as meaningful as big weddings — sometimes even more so. They’re raw, emotional, and deeply personal. Whether you’re eloping in downtown Chicago or planning a lakeside ceremony, your love deserves to be remembered. I’ll document your day with warmth, honesty, and intention, so that when you look back, you’ll feel the same emotions all over again. If you’re planning an elopement in Chicago (or beyond), I’d be honored to be part of your story.
Your wedding day is more than just a date on the calendar —
it’s a story, full of real emotions, quiet moments, and deep connection.
I don’t just take pretty pictures — I document love in its raw, gentle, and powerful form. Whether you’re exchanging vows under the city skyline, escaping for a quiet elopement, or dancing in golden light with your person, I’m here to capture your story exactly as it feels.
Photography is the only part of your wedding that grows more valuable over time. Let’s make it unforgettable.
HI, I’M MARGARITA!
I believe that there is value and beauty in every moment, and I strive to convey that through my photography. Together we will create memories that will warm your hearts for years to come. Let’s share emotional moments and create something unique!
Some moments happen only once in a lifetime
Whether it’s your wedding day, a quiet elopement, or a cozy afternoon with your family — these are the memories you’ll want to hold onto forever.
My goal is to preserve them with honesty, warmth, and heart — so years from now, you can look back and feel it all again.
Q&A
How can I book a date with you?
Just send me a message through the contact form on my website or DM me on Instagram. Let me know what kind of session you’re looking for and your preferred dates. I’ll get back to you as soon as possible to talk through the details and confirm your booking.
How long will the photo shoot last?
That depends on the type of session you choose.
Most couple or family sessions usually last about 1–1.5 hours, while elopements and weddings can range from a few hours to a full day. I always make sure there’s enough time for you to feel relaxed and enjoy the process — no rush, just real moments.
How do you choose photos for retouching?
I carefully go through all the images and select the best ones — natural, flattering, and full of feeling.
You’ll receive all the good photos with basic color correction, and if there are a few special ones you’d like to be more thoroughly retouched, I’m happy to do that too. I want you to feel great about your photos!
