About Photographs by Teresa
Photographs are special in that they eternalize a moment that might otherwise vanish in a flash.
I deeply appreciate the art of photography and the memories it preserves. On a day as remarkable as your wedding, you deserve a luxe collection of photographs that will tell your stories for life.
I’m Teresa, a Chicago-based luxury wedding photographer & photography mentor.
My couples say I’m calming and comforting, yet energetic and fun—exactly the qualities you need when photographing weddings in the city. I lead with a take-charge attitude, ensuring we capture every iconic shot imaginable.
My approach is extremely hands-on. I’ll give you clear directions with every photo taken to maximize our time so you can get to cocktail hour!
When you don’t have to worry about your hand placement, posing, or finding the best locations, you will feel more at ease in front of the camera. That’s my goal as your luxury wedding photographer.
“I like to call Teresa the ultimate hype woman."
“She is truly the brightest light. There's no other way to describe her, and the energy and passion she brings to making your day so special.”
- Danielle & Anthony
I was born into a family of leaders and entrepreneurs.
But no one had quite the impact as my dad, Harry Williams.
He taught me many valuable lessons, my favorite being:
- “If you do a job right, you don’t need much time.”
- “With anything you build in life, you build it to last.”
This is the mindset I take into every wedding day—even after his passing in 2021.
I strive to honor his legacy with every photograph taken by working with excellence and precision.
Fun Facts About Teresa
I’m a trainer at Rumble Boxing in the Gold Coast.
When I’m not photographing weddings, you’ll probably find me on a mic punching bags! I love teaching and leading others in this sport.
I'm always running on the lake.
With two half marathons under my belt, I ran my first full marathon in October 2023 with the Chicago Marathon.
In another life, I'd be a DJ.
I love music and can frequently be found dancing with my couples and their wedding guests on the dance floor!
