The perfect wedding is one where the focus is on being grounded in the present moment.

Meet Mei Lin:
Chicago & France intimate WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Sustainability is so important to me and so I'm absolutely thrilled to be a member of the Green Wedding Alliance. I incorporate as many ecological methods as I can to make sure you getting your cherished memories photographed has as little of an environmental impact as possible.

It fills me with so much joy to be able to work with so many laid-back, untraditional couples who are grounded in the present moment. It's important to me to create a community of belonging and understanding with each and every one of my couples. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged family soon!

I am a quiet, introverted soul, just like most of my couples. This helps me observe and capture the most tender candid moments on your wedding day without being obtrusive.

I am a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community and as a queer woman of color, I am a safe place for all couples of all genders, sexualities, races, and religions. Everyone deserves a safe place to get their love documented.

Hi there, I'm Mei Lin, a queer Chicago & France intimate wedding photographer who really loves pugs.

You've found your person; you already did the hard part. Celebrating your love to the fullest shouldn't be difficult.

I empathize with my introverted couples and thrive on making them feel seen and comfortable. All you have to do is focus on loving your partner and I'll show you how beautiful your love is.

Specializing in intimate weddings for the untraditional couple, small weddings bring everyone such joy. There's something extremely comforting about surrounding yourself with your closest friends and family. You can take your time and get the most out of every guest you invite which will make for an amazing experience for yourself and them.

Documenting couples with their four-legged family brings me incredible amounts of joy; it is made even more special when they are a part of couples' wedding day or engagement session.

That special day is meant to celebrate with your family, and dogs are a part of your family too.

Creating a safe space for all kinds of couples to celebrate all kinds of love.

Emma, Maya, & Kona, engagement session with rescue dog

"Everything that Mei Lin did was above and beyond our expectations. We are a same-gender couple who got engaged and wanted a romantic photoshoot with our pup in our city, Chicago. We loved every single one of our photos and are using them in our wedding website! We cannot thank her enough for all the personal work and touches that she put into our session.

"I really appreciated that during our wedding based on our comments on her questionnaire that we wanted some great photos of our friends that she went out of her way to make sure everyone who wanted to be featured in the wedding album with their own photos got the chance."
