Creatively capturing your unforgettable moments for a lifetime!
I’m here for the big moments and everything in between—whether you're planning a surprise proposal, celebrating your engagement, or walking down the aisle. My goal is simple: to create an experience that feels effortless, fun, and uniquely you. I blend guided poses with candid storytelling to capture your precious moments. Let’s be real—posing in front of a camera can feel weird. But that’s where I come in. I’m not just the guy with the camera—I’m your calm in the chaos, your built-in hype man, and your behind-the-scenes ninja capturing the magic while you live it.
More than just photos, I’m about connection. From the first call to the final gallery, I invest in truly getting to know you. This isn’t just a photoshoot—it’s the beginning of something timeless. Let’s capture those genuine smiles, inside jokes, and unexpected moments that make your story yours and turn your most meaningful moments into memories you’ll love forever.

Hey there! I am absolutely thrilled that you are here. My name is Dave Patel and I am a photographer in Chicago.
When I am not behind the camera, you will find me spending time with friends and family, binge-watching my favorite shows, or exercising at the gym. I also love to try out new restaurants and travel.
If you want a photographer who keeps things easy, fun, and full of genuine moments—you’ve found the one. Let’s make some magic together!
Testimonials
Kevin and Rachel
"Dave was amazing! I was looking for a photographer to capture a proposal and do a shoot afterward. Dave was very helpful during the planning process. He replied quickly, gave the shoot a lot of thought and helped me make it as stunning as possible. He truly knows how to take photos and is highly passionate about the experience. I loved how he guided us through the entire experience. He made it fun, had curated ideas specific to the place we were shooting and went above and beyond. I would like to especially shout out his commitment to the process before and after the shoot. He seemed to spend a few hours researching the location & afterward he put a lot of work editing beautiful photos. I highly recommend him if you are looking for someone reliable to capture photos!"
