One of the most recognized landmarks in town is The Rookery building. As a photographer in Chicago, I was thrilled to be photographing the wedding of Sara and Aaron in this beautiful space.
The building was designed by Chicago’s famous architectural company Burnham and Root in 1888. The lobby was redesigned by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1905.
This beautiful building gave me the opportunity to create some wonderful photos of the newlyweds.

If you are a wedding photographer in Chicago, you have to be prepared for anything. When Jazmin and Raul were married at St. Charles Borromeo in Melrose Park last week, the weather was quite a challenge. Rain couldn’t dampen the spirits of this couple however and we ventured outside to capture the type of wedding photography they had hoped for. Using my umbrella, a poncho and plastic bag, we made the most of a wet day!

Michele & Rob wanted a Chicago wedding photojournalist to capture their big day and booked me to capture the moments. The November 19th wedding ceremony was held at Holy Name Cathedral and reception at the Sofitel Chicago. We had time to slip out and get some portraits downtown before a light rain made us head back to the hotel. The Sofitel has some really great locations for indoor portraits and we took advantage of all of them. Congratulations to the newly weds!

Andrea and Dennis chose the unique date of 11-11-11 for their wedding at Nativity of Our Lord Church in Bridgeport. I was actually a groomsmen there many years ago but this was my first visit as a wedding photographer. Nativity is a beautiful church and nearly 125 years old.
After the ceremony, everyone headed for the reception at Ashton Place in Willowbrook, IL and had a great time.
Back in 2010, I photographed Dennis in the Chicago Golden Gloves so my experience as a sports photographer and wedding photographer in Chicago came in handy.
Planning your own wedding? I’d love to hear from you.

Former wedding clients Shannon and Jeff, along with son Miles, posed for their annual family portraits in Lisle, IL. The fall colors near Benedictine University were amazing and we even did some studio style portraits at their home. All in all, a fun day of photography.
I was their wedding photographer in Chicago back in 2006 and shot their engagement photos too. Now, social media sites like facebook help me keep in touch with former clients who have become friends too!

It was a beautiful fall day when Sara and Renzo tied the knot at Immaculate Conception Parish in Chicago. I first met Sara when I was the wedding photographer at her bother Mike’s wedding in 2007. Since I already knew many of the family and friends, fitting in and getting candid photos was no problem. After the ceremony, the bridal party and I headed to the Prairie Center for the Arts in Schaumburg.
The reception was held at the Belvedere in Elk Grove Village and the food there is terrific!
It was good to see so many familiar face and I hope to see them again soon!

The answer was a big yes when Tejash proposed to girlfriend Kaya in a downtown park. The future groom hired me to photograph his well planned surprise engagement on a recent Friday afternoon. A three piece band played Kaya’s favorite song as the couple approached our designated spot. I was standing behind a tree to capture her expression and had a remote camera up on a hill to get another perspective of the moment.
Later, we returned to meet with family and friends to share the good news, then out for some engagement portraits. I’m usually working as a wedding photographer in Chicago but this will be a destination wedding.
Are you planning a surprise engagement or would like to get some great engagement portraits? If so, contact me here, I’d love to hear from you.

September 24th was an amazing day in Springfield, IL for the wedding of Meghan and Coltin. Back in December, I headed down state to shoot their engagement photos and we had a chance to meet for the first time, Meghan found me by searching google for wedding photographers in Chicago. While I was there, I had the opportunity to scope out many of the wedding locations, including Washington Park and The Rail golf course. The weather was fantastic and the scenery had a nice mix of fall colors. I met so many wonderful people that day and I’m happy to be adding wedding photographer in Springfield, IL to my resume.
Are these the kind of images you envision for your own wedding? If so, contact me, I’d be happy to send you more information.
