Last Saturday, I met Amy and Zach for their engagement portraits. We began shooting on the rooftop of their Michigan Ave. home. After working with surrounding views of the city and lake, we headed over to the Art Institue of Chicago where they got engaged. Their wedding is October 6, 2012 at the Lehmann Mansion in Lake Villa, IL and I will be there wedding photographer of course!

The majority of my blog postings feature my wedding Photography, but I do photograph anything. That was the case when I recently traveled to Florida and photographed this fireworks show at Walt Disney World from my hotel balcony. The Crescent Moon hung low in the sky and made a perfect backdrop for the bursts of color. Although I didn’t have a tri-pod, this image captured the moment.

Stephanie and Jeff were married March 30th and I was happy to be their wedding Photographer. Although I was booked at the last minute, we had a great rapport and the newlyweds were up for some fun and creative wedding portraits.
The wedding ceremony took place at Faith Lutheran Church, Glen Ellyn, IL and the reception at The Morton Arboretum in Lisle, IL.

It was March 17, 2012, the weather couldn’t have been nicer and the wedding of Carla and Mike was everything they had hope it would be. These newlyweds were married at Our Lady of Loretto Parish in Hometown, IL . After the ceremony, we headed over to Dellwood Park in Lockport where the spring colors and sunlight created some amazing scenery. Mike and Carla merged nicely into the surroundings as we captured some beautiful portraits. I’ve been a Wedding Photographer in Chicago for many years and can’t remember a better St. Patrick’s Day.
After wrapping up with photos of the bridal party, everyone proceeded to the American Legion Post 18, a very appropriate setting for Mike, a member of the United States Marine Corps. Family and friends danced into the evening as a Marine Corps flag hung above the wedding cake. It was a wonderful send off for Mike, who will be shipping out soon to serve his country and for that we thank you!

Congratulations to Shonda and Dinesh who were married last Saturday at the Rockefeller Memorial Chapel. As a wedding photographer in Chicago, I think this is by far one of the greatest churches in the city. The reception was a short trip away at the The Quadrangle Club, both venues are in Hyde Park on the city’s south side.

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!
