Brett & Lindsay were married just about a month ago and had one of the most fun weddings that I’ve shot this year.  All of my couples have fantastic weddings though!   Brett & Lindsay were a referral from Ted & Katie from 2008.  They share a lot of the same group of friends – so there were lots of familiar faces!

The ceremony was held at St. Teresa of Avila church, followed by an intimate reception at Salvatore’s Restaurant.  We hit Michigan Ave for some fun shots after the ceremony because at around 4:30 this time of year it’s dark in Chicago!  Nothing that the lights of the city couldn’t fix!

Justin & Amy were married in November and we were lucky enough to get an absolutely gorgeous warm day.  End of the year Chicago weddings are always a roll of the dice   The ceremony was held at St Louis de Montfort church with a super fun reception at the Abbington.  The wedding was absolutely perfect and everyone in attendance had a ton of fun!

John & Kristin are another 2010 couple that were hoping to get some nice fall colors in their Engagement Session photos.  Yet again I lucked out on the weather because the rainy forecast ended up being not so rainy!  I need to get a job as a Meteorologist because apparently they can be wrong 100% of the time and not get fired!

We started out by Lincoln Park Zoo, made a quick stop at the Lily Pond, then zipped over near North Ave Beach to grab some skyline shots.  It was a fun shoot and I’m super excited to be working with John & Kristin next year!

Mike & Kathryn were one of my last Engagement Sessions this season.  The weather was just starting to really get cold in Chicago (although the past 2 weeks weren’t so bad!) and the leaves were falling.  We grabbed some shots through the Lincoln Park area, Museum Campus and then headed over by Millennium Park to get some shots with the AON building in the background.  Mike & Kathryn are having their reception at the Mid-America Club at the AON Center and they wanted to get some pictures with it in the background to use for “Save the Date” cards.  I don’t know if my “Leaning Tower of Pisa” like shots will make it to their cards but at the time I thought they were hilarious

Mike & Roula are getting married next year and we dodged some rainy weather in Chicago to go out and grab some shots.  They are planning to use some of the shots for their “Save the Date” cards so we were sure to grab some nice portraits at the Palmer House (their reception location).  After that we cabbed around a bit and shot around Oliver Park (a seemingly popular location lately) as well as Old Union Station because it was windy and chilly.  I had a fun time and am really looking forward to working with Mike & Roula again at the wedding next year!

I just realized that I never posted Mike & Meghan’s Engagement Session photos on the blog!  I’ll blame it on the craziness that is the “Summer Wedding Season”!  In any event, we shot these photos back at the end of July.  Mike & Meghan are getting married in 2010 and I actually just shot her sister Molly’s wedding last month.

These are a few of my favorite shots from the session.  I can’t wait until the wedding

Justin & Kierstin were married just over a month ago in Chicago.  They are both currently living in New York, but decided to have their wedding in Chicago.  I’m glad they did because it was an awesome event!  I am grateful to have been asked to take part in documenting it.

The ceremony was held at St. Gertrude Catholic Church, followed by the reception at The Blackstone Hotel.

The wedding party was a fun bunch, we got a lot of really great shots in between the Ceremony and Reception – be sure to check out the slideshow for a lot more of my favorites!

Kevin & Molly had an absolutely beautiful wedding a little over a month ago.  Molly is Meghan’s sister and I’ll be shooting Meghan’s wedding next year.  I’m certainly looking forward to that wedding too!

The ceremony was held at Trinity United Methodist Church in Wilmette and the reception at the Union League Club in Chicago.

Here are just a few of my favorite photos from the day as well as a slideshow.

A few weeks ago I shot Andy & Erin’s Engagement Session along the Naperville Riverwalk. They are getting married next year and I’m super excited to be working with them on their wedding. Here are a few shots from the session. We ended up back at the location where Andy proposed to Erin. I’m not sure if he got down on his knee the first time around – but I’m sure she said yes!

Luke and Carrie were a referral from Tim & Kate (back from 2006).  They are a super cool couple and we were able to find a nice afternoon about a week or so ago in between the rain and cold that Chicago is known for   We trekked around the Chicago Botanic Gardens for a few hours and got a bunch of really great shots!  I can’t wait for the wedding next year! Check out the slideshow for a ton more photos…
