Recently ranked in Expertise.com's "Top 7 Best Naperville Wedding Photographers" in 2021, lead photographer Damien (they/ them) pulls from years of experience as a published wedding, portrait, fine art and boudoir photographer. Damien captures these breathtaking moments next to their wife Gabi (she/her) as a married photographer duo.
Damien and Gabi bring unparalleled creativity when it comes to posed moments, having worked together for years as a photographer/model team. Candid shots come naturally as they move throughout the day with grace and kindness, also encouraging the best version of your guests to come alive in their photographs. Damien and Gabi welcome traditional and non-traditional weddings, elopements, LGBTQ+ weddings, cultural weddings and everything in between.
As a veteran who spent 12 years serving in the US Army, Damien takes discipline seriously and has much pride in their attention to detail.

These two experts in love and photography work very closely to their art, crafting every photo with extreme care and emotion.
Damien and Gabi see each opportunity with your most intimate moments as a true privilege, reminding them constantly of the love they share together. They tell your journey in a way that carries you from one photograph to the next, playing like the storyboard to a beautiful tale of romance. They consider future generations and how they will reflect on the special bond you share. They go above and beyond at every corner working as additional sets of eyes to ensure the smoothness of your day. Damien and Gabi are as much an experience as they are a service, bringing warmth and love and light to every photo shoot and event.

EDIT: Damien sent the first group of photos on November 17th, 2025. I accessed them on Christmas eve (over a month later because I wasn't signed into our wedding email - no fault o...
f theirs). The photos delivered are edited and fabulous, although they did not include the entire night's events. I appreciate that we have some photos, and my partner and I look forward to receiving the rest of the photos in the near future.
Original Review: My fiance and I hired Damien to capture our Unplugged Wedding Ceremony on January 18th, 2025. They were the only person to capture photos of our happy day, particularly during our ceremony. Although they were fabulous to work with on the day of, and accommodated a change in guest party size and date change, we have not received any digital photos. We have only received 6 Polaroid photos, which were handed to us the night of the party. Our contract stated the photos would be delivered within 6 weeks. Unfortunately, multiple attempts to contact Damien have been made, including through a mediation service, and they have been no contact since April 1st, 2025. Now, four months after our wedding, we are reaching out publicly to try to gain our photos in their current state, whether edited or unedited, so that we may have photos of our wedding.

Not only did he send a fabulous onboarding gift when we signed, but he was constantly in contact with us, letting us know the status of our photos, and going above and beyond what our contract included. I can't express the amount of gratitude we have for him, and I wish I had more fabulous events for him to photograph! I would recommend Damien again and again to anyone for any special occasion.

Good Omen. They not only listened to my requests, but added their own ideas and creativity to make the finished product better than I even imagined. I know it can be a nerve wracking task to trust someone with your wedding photo needs, but honestly the whole process was so stress free and we had the edited photos accessible so quickly.

Amazing!
During this time in my now wife's life and my life we were embarking on a new adventure in our life. I met Damien through work and soon realized what an amazing photographer he was...
. He showed me a few photos that he shot in his spare time. I saw the detail and focus that he gave to those photos and I was in looking for a photographer as well. So I introduced him to my wife and we shot our invitation photos. My wife loved them and so did I. We instantly booked him for our upcoming wedding. He was very professional at the wedding and made sure that he got all of the moments that we still look at to this day. Greatly appreciated his time, effort and professionalism during that time. Well worth the money spent for timeless photos. Very professional and I would definitely highly recommend him.
