Miriam Doan

Photographer, Lover of Humans

Miriam is an award winning and published video and photojournalist based in Chicago and proudly calls the Great Lakes region her home. Miriam is best known for capturing candid, authentic moments. Her disarming charisma allows tension to fade and your most natural self unfold in front of the camera. In addition to documenting your day, she loves collaborating to make creative portraits that last a lifetime. In the last 12 years she has worked in the non profit sector using her skills as a visual storyteller to uplift voices in marginalized communities all over the world. In her cause-based journalism work and in her own neighborhood, she finds beauty and truth in the customs unique to each community and the universal ways in which we all find meaning. Miriam has always loved weddings for the creative intersection of collective rituals that bring us together across humanities largest divides and bond us with our families both born and chosen. Should your event require travel or a team, Miriam has a deep bench in the photography and video community locally and worldwide. We’re so excited you stopped by and can’t wait to find out more about your special day, wherever it may be.
