A Square Atom story · Chicago
Photographed with care.
The Chicago portfolio includes editorial city portraits and a lively reception where friends lift the bride in a chair as the whole room joins the celebration.
Our approach pairs documentary attention with gentle direction. We plan around the location and timeline, then leave space for the moments that happen naturally.
