Our Story
About Starlit Vows
Who We Are
More Than Photographers
We are an authentic and artistic wedding photography and videography team serving Chicago, Detroit, and Columbus. Our goal is to make your wedding day seamless — so you can be fully present in every moment — while we capture all the fantastic memories and emotions as they unfold.
From the nervous excitement before the ceremony to the joyful tears on the dance floor, we tell your love story through genuine, heartfelt imagery and cinematic films that you’ll treasure for a lifetime.
Our Mission
Why We Do What We Do
Starlit Vows was born from a simple belief: every couple deserves to have their love story told with intention, artistry, and heart. We started this journey because we saw too many couples stressed about their wedding media — worrying about poses, timelines, and whether their photographer would truly understand their vision.
We built Starlit Vows to be different. We are not a large-scale operation that hires out whoever is available on your date. Every photographer and videographer on our team has been hand-selected for their artistic eye, calm professionalism, and genuine passion for storytelling. When you book with us, you are booking a team that cares deeply about getting it right.
Our creative philosophy centers on authentic moments. We believe the most beautiful images come from real emotions — not forced poses. We guide you gently, create space for natural connection, and capture the in-between moments that become your most treasured memories.

Service Areas
Our teams are based in three vibrant cities across the Midwest, and we travel anywhere in the USA for destination weddings.
Chicago, Illinois
From rooftop ceremonies overlooking the skyline to intimate loft weddings in the West Loop, Chicago is one of our favorite cities to shoot in. We know this city’s best venues, golden-hour spots, and hidden gems inside and out.
Detroit, Michigan
Detroit is where it all started. The city’s creative energy and stunning architecture inspired us from day one. From historic churches to modern industrial venues, we love capturing weddings against Detroit’s unique character.
Columbus, Ohio
Columbus offers a wonderful mix of classic elegance and modern charm. Whether you are planning a garden wedding at Franklin Park or a downtown celebration, our Columbus team brings the same passion and artistry to every event.
