Honest photography for people who want to remember the way it was
I’m Chrissy Deming, a documentary wedding & family photographer based in DeKalb, IL, and I believe that life deserves to be documented truthfully.
Whether you’re here because you’re looking for a wedding photographer or for family photos, I’m here to help you remember each milestone and to document it as authentically as I can. I will show up to your wedding, or your family or newborn shoot not as an artist, but as a wife, mother, and friend who knows the value of images that tell the real story (which isn’t always full of smiles and giggles). My goal is to deliver honest images that last longer than editing trends and cheesy poses. The kind of images that, when glimpsed on a wall or in an album, make you say “Ahh, remember when…”

"Chrissy is a rockstar! She was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. We started out pretty nervous in front of the camera during our engagement pictures, but she quickly made us feel comfortable and at ease during both our engagement and wedding pictures. She is an amazing professional who with quick thinking and some flexibility offered to drive us to our photo location before our wedding when our party bus was running an hour late to our pick up location."
"Choosing a photographer was probably the hardest decision for me during the entire wedding planning process. I had met with 3 other photographers before meeting with Chrissy and she was definitely a breath of fresh air. All the other photographers wanted to show off their best photos and photo books; when I met with Chrissy the first question she asked me was how my husband and I met and what our story was."
"We recently received all of our wedding pictures and I'm obsessed. I might be a little bias but we had THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER EVER!!!!!!!!! I mean Chrissy Deming literally is the best thing to ever happen to a camera. No joke. If anyone is looking for someone to become more than just your amazing photographer (she became a great friend and made us feel like family) for the day of your wedding then she is the person you want in your corner!"
