Lumière & Grain is a Chicago-based boutique photo and film studio capturing weddings through a documentary lens with a fashion-forward editorial edge. Our work is rooted in film, driven by feeling, and obsessed with the real moments that can’t be staged, repeated, or recreated.

Our couples care deeply about wanting their weddings to feel like something - not just look like it.

We don’t chase trends. We chase truth -  the nervous breath before walking in, the way your people show up for you, the energy that lives between the big moments. Then we elevate it with intentional composition, movement, and light so your story feels cinematic, refined, and unmistakably you.

We take on a very limited number of weddings each year so every couple gets our full attention, creative energy, and care. That exclusivity allows us to be present, personal, and deeply invested  -  creating imagery that feels intimate and iconic at the same time.

If you value authenticity over performance, style with substance, and photographs and films that will still feel right decades from now - you’re in the right place.
