About Alaura Creative

I’m Alaura, a Chicago-based photographer with a passion for gardens, architecture, and Renaissance art. 

Storytelling with a flair for drama!

I’m also a sap. I love people, and I understand the magnitude of the moments I capture. I keep things fun, organized, and efficient so you can spend more time celebrating and less time posing—while getting great shots of both. As the vendor who will be by your side the most, I’m proud to help give you and your partner the best wedding day ever.

I draw on a journalism/history background and 13 years of photo experience to capture weddings artfully, authentically, and unobtrusively while ensuring my clients enjoy themselves.

Beautiful photos are guaranteed, but your experience is just as important as the photos!

If you appreciate details, candid moments, classic portraiture, antiques, maximalism, thoughtful itineraries, and/or the twirl of a good skirt—we could be a match!
