Congratulations Brian & Sara!

While the weather was a bit humid and the morning rain passed through quickly, Brian & Sara had a beautiful outdoor wedding at the Hyatt Lodge at McDonald’s Campus.  With a gorgeous afternoon outdoor ceremony followed by an elegant reception at the Grand Oaks Pavilion,  the wedding day was perfect.  Thanks so much for inviting me to share in your wonderful day!

Robert & Melissa’s Wedding Sneak Peek

Robert & Melissa’s wedding is still in post production, however I wanted to post up a quick sneak peek of a few images that caught my eye.  The rest of the images should be ready in another week or two.

Just stumbled upon your blog today, great work! Captivating pictures. I love your style. Keep it up! :)

Congratulations Mike & Roula!

Mike & Roula were married a few short weeks ago and had a truly wonderful wedding event.  We were very lucky to just miss the rain a few times during the day and everything worked out perfectly.  The ceremony was held at Assumption Greek Orthodox Church followed by a gorgeous reception at the Palmer House Hilton.  I think the working title of the day was “Big Fat Greek Wedding 2″!  Mike & Roula even handed out photo shopped DVD cases of the movie with photographs on the cover:)

Claudia with As You Wish did a phenomenal job of coordinating and planning the day and everything turned out wonderfully.

Kevin & Anna E-Session

Kevin & Anna are getting married later this year and we recently took some time to head out and shoot some Engagement photos.  As with most Engagement Sessions in the city, we hopped in a few cabs and hit various locations.  We started out by Wrigley Field, then headed over to the Lily Pool at Lincoln Park Zoo.  After that we ran downtown for a quick wardrobe change and grabbed some shots on the LaSalle Street Bridge and ended up around The Chicago Theater.  I had an awesome time and I can’t wait for the wedding!

Only in Chicago…

Only in Chicago can the bridal party rock out to street drummers on one corner and be serenaded with song and dance on the next!  You never know what you’ll run into when cruising around the city after the ceremony.  Luckily my 5D Mark II also can grab some quick video!
