Based in Chicago
For me, photography is more than taking beautiful images, it’s about capturing the emotion and essence of a single moment so it can be relived time and time again. Scroll down to explore my portfolio and contact me directly for more information.

Last time I photographed this couple for their maternity session—right before their baby arrived.
This time, he proposed to her in the same spot at Lincoln Park.
Honored to document another chapter of their story. ✨📷

The campus architecture, fall colors, and golden light
made everything feel like a movie scene 🍂✨
Definitely one of my favorite spots for love stories in Chicago

![[Chinese Tea Ceremony]囍💍🧧🥂📸
Photos by: @btdtxx BTDT Photography
This cup of hot tea not only contains water and the fragrance of tea, but also represents the most sincere gratitude of the newlyweds to their parents and elders.
Passing out tea is a gratitude for nurturing kindness; Bringing back tea cup is a blessing for a happy life. Saying ‘Mom and Dad, please have tea’ is a confession of growth and also a inheritance of love. From then on, the two hearts came together, not only making a lifelong commitment to each other, but also extending filial piety to both families.

BIO
The full story
Every picture tells a story, and I'm honored to be there to capture the special memories for the people. Deciding on doing photography in 2019 was the best choice I have ever made, and I've never looked back. As a dedicated and passionate photographer, I’m fascinated by those unique moments that can be seized on camera. Since beginning my professional journey, I’ve worked on many different types of projects, such as portraits, automotive, corporate events, food & beverage, engagements, weddings, etc. And it has expanded my experience and added to my portfolio. Take a moment to explore my work, and contact me with any questions.
