capturing connections

One Memory at a Time.

our story

At Close Up Chicago, we believe the best moments in life deserve to be celebrated, remembered, and reflected on — literally. Founded by husband-and-wife team, Elisha and Ramon, our mirror photo booth business was born from a simple idea: to create a fun, interactive experience that brings people together and captures the heart of every celebration.

What began as a personal dream quickly grew into a business rooted in love, creativity, and a deep appreciation for community. Every event we book is a chance to spread positivity, spark connections, and leave guests with keepsakes that feel as unforgettable as the moment itself.


Our mission goes beyond taking great photos. We aim to create meaningful, joy-filled experiences that remind people of their worth, their beauty, and the memories they're making. Because just like a mirror reflects what’s in front of it, every photo we capture reflects laughter, love, and stories worth telling.

Whether it’s a wedding filled with love, a lively corporate event, a milestone birthday, or a meaningful community gathering, Close Up Chicago is here to elevate your celebration with style, creativity, and unforgettable moments.


Our goal is to turn ordinary snapshots into extraordinary memories that guests will cherish long after the event is over.
