Studio Ostendo operates in multiple creative fields including photography, design, and education.
Christina and Sam met playing rec league volleyball. They joined the same team through mutual friends, he asked her to get drinks at the end of their season, and the rest is history! We met them at that same spot to kick off their engagement session, the perfect way to celebrate where they started and how far they’ve come together!
The best part of warm weather in Chicago is spending it on the lakefront. We spent the evening wandering through the Montrose bird sanctuary, before heading to North Avenue Beach as the sun dipped behind the clouds. As the wind picked up, he held her tight. The way Sam made Christina laugh made us feel like we were peeking in on a date night- just the two of them together on a Friday night.
Christina and Sam, we’re so glad we got to celebrate with you—your wedding in just a year! Thanks for sharing your story with us and introducing us to the places you met. We absolutely cannot wait for your wedding next spring! 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.
