The OM Studios approach
Bright, timeless images and cinematic video, made quietly by two people who plan together, move together, and never get in each other's shot.
The occasions
Celebrations we capture
From a hundred guests in a ballroom to an intimate ceremony at church or home, each one gets the same care, timeline and attention.
01
Quinceañeras & Sweet 16s
The misa, the court, the waltz and the grand entrance. Coming-of-age milestones, told beautifully.
02
Baby Showers & Blessings
Baby showers, bridal showers and gender reveals, from the styled room before guests arrive to the grand entrance.
03
Baptisms & Communions
Christenings, first communions and confirmations: the sacrament itself, the family afterward, and the celebration that follows.
04
Cultural Ceremonies
Seemantham and godh bharai, mehndi and sangeet, poojas, Karwa Chauth and Diwali. Every ritual understood and honored.
05
Milestone Birthdays
First birthdays to fiftieths and beyond. The décor you obsessed over and the laughter nobody planned.
06
Proposals
We help plan the spot, hide in plain sight and catch the exact second of the question, then a short portrait session after.
For business
Galas, launches, conferences and team headshot days, with recap video your marketing team can use the next morning.

Good to know
How far ahead should we book?
Quinceañeras and mitzvahs usually book 6–12 months out, and spring and fall Saturdays go first. Birthdays, baptisms and corporate events often need only a few weeks, so reach out even if your date is close.
Can we book only photos or only video?
Yes. Every collection can be photo-only or video-only and we'll quote it for you. Booking both together is where you save the most.
Do you photograph religious ceremonies?
Yes: baptisms, first communions, Mass, synagogue services, poojas and home ceremonies. We follow each venue's guidelines on flash and placement, and confirm them with your officiant beforehand.
What if the celebration runs long?
We'll always ask before staying past your booked time. Extra coverage is $250 per hour, billed in half-hour increments.
Can our company use the images for marketing?
Corporate collections include usage for your website, social media, press and internal communications. Paid advertising use is quoted separately.
Where do you travel?
We're based in Mundelein and cover Lake County, the North Shore, Chicago and the suburbs. Travel within 50 miles is included; beyond that, we quote it upfront.
