Hi, We are Dominic & Nelena — Your Storytellers in Light and Motion.

I’m Dominic, a photographer with deep roots in the Northern Illinois River Valley, surrounded by the natural beauty of Starved Rock State Park.
Photography first captured my heart back in high school, and that passion has only grown — evolving into a lifelong journey of documenting life's most meaningful moments. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me traveling, hunting for vinyl records, or making memories with my wife and our two wonderful kids.

By my side is my wife, Nelena — a talented videographer, organizer, and quiet hero on your wedding day.
While I’m capturing the big moments, Nelena is there making sure everything flows smoothly: gently fixing your dress before photos, adjusting your veil before you walk down the aisle, helping keep your timeline relaxed and on track — all while filming the real emotions and candid moments that matter most.

Together, we bring a blend of journalistic storytelling, documentary honesty, and classic artistry to both photography and videography, creating work that feels modern yet timeless.

Whether your story takes place in Illinois, across Europe, or anywhere love leads, we’re honored to be the ones who help you relive it — in every frame, and every scene.

We invite you to explore our work and imagine how your own story might be told through our lens.
We can't wait to meet you.
