CHICAGO WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

FOR COUPLES DRAWN TO HEARFELT STORYTELLING

INQUIRE
Chicago Wedding Photographer

I’m Raul.

Capturing your story as it truly unfolds.

I might be the right photographer for you if you’re drawn to moments that feel real. Not overly posed, but honest, emotional and true to how your day unfolds. If you care not just about the big moments but also the in-between ones most people miss.. like your loved one’s reactions during your vows or the laughter during reception speeches.

My approach is documentary at heart. Capturing what’s happening as it unfolds, with gentle guidance when you need it.

So when you look back, you’re not just flipping through pretty pictures… you’re reliving it, even 20 years from now.

And if you want a photographer who feels more like a friend than just a vendor, we’ll get along really well.

KIND WORDS

  • “We have been so thankful we chose to work with Raul and Itzel…

    Raul was great at communicating and helping plan. At our engagement session, he did a great job at making us feel comfortable and look natural. My husband generally freezes in front of cameras, which you cannot tell at all in any of the photos. On our wedding day, he not only captured us and our bridal party perfectly, but he had many beautiful shots of our guests. He got to know the kids in our bridal party and had fun with them which made photos with them very easy and fun. All of our friends and family raves about how beautiful and natural they all look. You won’t regret working with Raul!”

  • Not only was Raul professional during our planning meetings, he was also informative and fun to work with.

    On the day of our engagement shoot, he arrived early and was ready to go once we got there. And let me tell you, our pictures ATE. He sent us an unexpected sneak peak that night and the turnaround time for the edited images was very quick!

    On the day of our wedding, once again, he was early and ready to get the party started. I HIGHLY recommend him and can’t adequately express how great it was working with him… so great that he did our maternity photoshoot 9 months later!

  • Raul and his wife make an incredible team.

    Raul’s outgoing personality really shined through in our wedding photos - he was able to capture genuine smiles and natural moments from my family that we will treasure forever. Despite my wedding being a simple backyard event, they made it feel elegant and fancy through their beautiful photography. I was amazed at how quickly they delivered the photos! I’m not typically a “picture person” and usually dislike how I look in photos, but Raul made me feel completely comfortable and at ease.

    - Ciro & Norma

  • He was so patient and incredibly helpful!

    They made us feel confident and comfortable in every picture, capturing the moments beautifully. Even with horrible weather they made it all work out.
