Hi, I’m Saumya!

I’m a Chicago-based elopement and intimate wedding photographer who captures heartfelt, natural moments wherever your love story unfolds.

Sustainability and giving back are at the heart of my work. I plant trees for every wedding or elopement I photograph. I also work part-time for a nonprofit dedicated to educating underprivileged children in India.

When I’m not behind the camera, I’m with my husband and our quirky sibling cats or enjoying quiet moments in nature. Clients love my calming presence, thoughtful guidance, and the warmth I bring to every step of their wedding journey.

Let’s create something unforgettable together.
