Hello, my name is henry. I am a chicago-based filmmaker. I’ve been a wedding filmmaker now for 10 years. with having documented hundreds upon hundreds of weddings taken place on mountaintops to extravagant ballrooms to 400sq ft living rooms, one thing remains the same: relationships. relationships with your family, your friends and one another. for me, it’s the most important aspect of a wedding and it shows. Love is universal and i look forward to hearing your story. When i’m not working, you can find me slurping noodles or chilling with my studio mate, kopi. (she’s a 7yr old golden collie mix)

My name is Karen & I’m the face behind The Pink Cupcake.

The thought of selling my own products quickly became a constant goal in my mind. After a few years, I earned my Culinary Arts/Baking & Pastry degree in 2020 and my Business Management degree in 2021.

I have always loved capturing memories. I learned that from my Uncle Mike. Since he passed away, I have picked up his hobby of capturing people's beauty and the emotions they share in a single moment. I hope I can share that love with you as well! ​ I grew up in the northern suburbs of Chicago, and now I call a cozy neighborhood in Chicago home. When I'm not taking photos, you can find me reading a good book, grabbing drinks with friends, snuggling with my cat, or riding my Peloton!
