About This Vendor

It's Time we Tell Your Story

Based in the Chicagoland area, Good Omen Photo is a traveling studio that delivers premier services to clients across the Midwest and abroad. 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. Gabi’s sharp focus comes from many years in surgery working the operating room, bringing that precision to her work behind the camera. 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.

Damien was absolutely amazing for me and my wedding. He made everyone involved so comfortable and relaxed the normal chaotic wedding vibe into one that everyone was so happy to be in. He asked so many amazing questions that helped turn our phot...
os into true reflections of us as a couple, and our friends and family. 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.

Alicia, Thank you so much for your glowing review! Your wedding kicked off my season in the best way. Since the first zoom meeting, I was ecstatic to work with you and Grant. I could sense the natural love you have for your partner, and the k...
ind hearts you both carry. These senses were proven right over and over throughout the following months. You allowed me creative freedom on your special day, you supported our small business and helped move my family forward. Your parents and relatives treated me like one of their own. To say I have gratitude is a massive understatement. I will always remember our time together and I have beautiful pictures to proudly display in my portfolio for the rest of time. I hope your family enjoys the holidays and I hope our paths cross again one day!
