After seven years as a photographer, I’ve learned to spot a potential problem before it affects your big day - keeping you stress-free on the best day of your life. From a complimentary engagement session (great for announcements or holiday cards) to your edited photos back in just few weeks (not months!) - I’m here to make this day an extra special experience for you and your loved ones. Love is captivating: I’m driven by it and photography is what allows me to capture some of life’s most celebrated moments. Photographed memories are priceless. I strive to tell a story with my images, capturing organic moments that naturally unfold, resulting in stunning imagery. I want my photos to evoke beauty and joy. I would consider it an honor to document your season of love, growth and new beginnings.

VERSATILE
Usually a photographer is either good at capturing candid photos OR posed portraits. My style is a mix of both! Depending on the part of the day I incorporate a lot of those styles. From start to finish my goal is to Authentically capturing your day as it unfolds with a little detail curation from me. That means that along the day and situations I am giving you directions to assure you are in the pest position and angle.

EDITING QUEEN
I’ve spent the last 7 years as a Chicago wedding photographer. Perfecting my editing style and consistency. I’m very particular about how my images look, especially your skin color, your dress details. I believe your dress detail should be visible, not “glowing”. I am making sure that all the colors are true to life. My style is very bright, but true to color with shadows maintain their integrity (i.e. black suits should stay black, not grey!)

Experienced
EXPERIENCED
I shot my first solo wedding in 2014. Since then I have photographed over 250 wedding days and I can say that I have SEEN IT ALL. Every lighting scenario, every time constraint, weather conditions, family members dynamics; the list goes on. I have truly learned (hands on) how to turn “lemons into lemonade” with every twist and turn that unexpectedly happens on wedding day. Which also makes me a professional dress - bustler & boutonniere pinner I can say that I am pretty much a bridesmaid with a camera :)

The proof is in the pudding

I have won The Knot “Best of Weddings” You can read them on my page at Theknot.com or go to instagram at @bozenavoytkophotography and read some of my favorite reviews from my Chicago wedding couples in my “reviews” story highlight to put a face with a name.
