At Popping Champaign Photography, I’ve had the honor of capturing love stories across Florida and Illinois — turning fleeting moments into timeless keepsakes. But before I was behind the camera, I was in your shoes, planning two weddings: first, an intimate, socially distanced micro-wedding during Covid, then a rowdy post-pandemic celebration. (I like to joke that I love my husband so much that I had to marry him twice!) That experience gave me a deep appreciation for the beauty (and chaos) of wedding planning.
This journal is where wedding bliss meets expert insight. From real love stories to behind-the-scenes photography tips, this is your go-to space for inspiration, advice, and all the little things that make a wedding unforgettable. So, pop some bubbly, settle in, and let's celebrate love - one frame at a time!

Hey, I'm Zoe—Your Wedding Day Bestie (with a Camera!)
Hey, I'm Zoe—
Your Wedding Day BFF
(with a Camera!)
My approach is simple: I want you to feel at home in front of my lens—no awkward poses, just effortless memories that feel authentically you. I'm all about blending into your big day like a friend: hyping you up like your personal maid of honor, stealthily handing you a tissue when your vows hit too hard, or capturing the dance-floor chaos when Uncle Bob busts out “the worm.”
Forget choosing between classic portraits and candid fun—you deserve both. From quiet morning prep to wild celebrations beneath the stars, your gallery will beautifully reflect your entire day. Whether you're planning a quaint destination elopement or dreaming of an unforgettable big city wedding, I'm here to document every meaningful moment.
