Studio Ostendo operates in multiple creative fields including photography, design, and education.
We love taking engagement photos in Chicago—the city streets, stunning architecture, the way the light bounces off the surfaces in a city scape—but it's even more special when the place is connected to a bigger story.
Earlier this year, on a warm July day, Ben asked Taylor to marry him. It wasn't extravagant or over the top. It was just them on their balcony together. It was private. It was intimate. Taylor said yes and now they're planning to celebrate their wedding next fall with family and friends! After they shared the initial moments of joy alone together, Ben had planned for them to join their family and friends along the lake to share in their excitement! They sat with their loved ones along the lakefront at North Avenue Beach as the sun set and fireworks started. When we met Taylor and Ben for their engagement photos, they reminisced about that special day they said yes to forever together.
Taylor and Ben, we had so much fun learning more about you and your families. We love your laid back nature and easy laughter together. We can't wait to spend your wedding day capturing the moments you'll remember forever, moments that will mark the beginning of your journey as husband and wife! Love and hugs, Becky & Kaleb.
Wedding photography is my heartbeat. For me, it holds the perfect tension between creativity and authenticity, observation and connection. In front of my camera clients transform to friends, and behind it you'll usually find me tearing up, cheering you on, or holding my breath because of the raw goodness of the moment at hand.
