About King & Opal
King & Opal
For the wild, in love. Chicago-based love story + portrait photographers with a passion for creative experimentation. We use both modern digital & vintage film cameras to create imagery that is timeless in character & emotion. Always down to travel – there's no denying the breathtaking beauty of places like the Pacific Northwest, but even a small patch of wildflowers in a midwest backyard holds its own charm. From botanical gardens & private estates to small dive bars & industrial lofts ~ wherever we find ourselves, you can trust that we'll artfully capture what will become your cherished memories.
We see it as an absolute honor to be trusted to do what we do as documentarians and visual storytellers. We take great pride in getting to know and serving the couples we work with. We'll help you shed inhibitions, guiding you into real scenarios that get you laughing, moving naturally, & authentically connecting. No pressure or pretending to be someone else. Our focus is on emotion-rich moments, beautiful light, & all of the details that tell your unique story. Get in touch for pricing, or if you just want to connect more directly and share your vision. Always happy to chat!

Look no further for an amazing photographer!
King and Opal did a phenomenal job at our wedding. We worked with Mariah and she was exceptional from start to finish. She helped a shy groom come out of his shell and did a great job capturing great photos while dealing with drunk personalities. Mariah is super nice and personable, and the photos themselves are amazing! Not only did she capture every special moment throughout the day, she was super efficient working through the plan we discussed day-of and very communicative with the timeline for edits. I appreciate how responsive she was on top of taking amazing photos!
Absolutely Amazing Photographer
We couldn’t have been happier with choosing to work with King & Opal for our wedding day. From our first interaction to the delivery of our photos, Mariah was professional, creative, and so easy to work with. On the big day, Mariah made us feel so comfortable capturing every moment with stunning detail and emotion. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful – each one perfectly captured the essence of our love and the joy of the day. If you are looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also genuinely passionate about their craft, we highly recommend King & Opal. Thank you for making our wedding memories last forever!
