The United StatesI'm Katie the proud owner of Windy City Production. I am blessed to call my passion a full-time job. After graduating from Saint Xavier I took on the task of creating Chicago's finest Wedding Photography & Videography Company. I am a 8 years in and more excited than ever. My favorite part of the job is presenting wedding videos and or wedding pictures to a couple, knowing that they will be able to revisit their wedding day ten, twenty, or thirty years from now. It's truly a gift to be able to capture and create a couple's wedding day movie and or wedding pictures for them to cherish forever.
