Kim and Adam's Wedding

I have really been looking forward to putting this blog up. What a fantastic wedding! I really enjoyed being able spend the day with Kim and Adam and capture their love with photos. These two were so great to work with and made my job easy-peazey! The couple themselves were gorgeous, their colors were amazing, the venue was great and to top it off, I got to take shoot a blend of film and digital! I busted out my Hasselblad, my Holga and a few toy cameras during the portraits and really love what I came away with. Take a gander at some of my favorite shots from Kim and Adam's day:

Kim and Adam, it was an absolute pleasure working with you!

All our best,

Jake and Jennifer

Eric and Joanna's Wedding

Eric and Joanna joked that they must have done something right in their lives! They're obviously correct, because their wedding day was absolute perfection! From the weather down to the tiniest detail -- everything was amazing!! Jake and I had a blast working with them, and even though it was Two Bird's third wedding of the weekend, Eric and Joanna's energy was highly contagious! We shot a bit of film at their wedding, Jake with his Hasselblad and me with my antique Tiffany-blue Valiant! We started our day in the suburbs and made our way to Chicago, ending at Bar Deville for the reception!

Here are some of our favorite shots from their day:

Sarah and David's Wedding

Sarah and David's beach wedding at the Gary Aquatorium was so much fun to photograph! Sarah and David were really easy to work with, and their adorable son was a blast! I also loved being able to work with Tasha Raylene of Virtuous Events once again. Tasha did an incredible job designing every detail of their day and everything was very well pulled together! It made my job easy-peasy! Here are some of my favorite images from David and Sarah's big day:

Great clients, fun times!

Thanks for having me be a part of your day!

Bo and Megan's Wedding in Analog

A few weeks ago I had the honor of being a groomsman in my cousin Bo's wedding. I made my way up to Minnesota and brought 7, read it, SEVEN antique and toy film cameras! I had a lot of fun being IN a wedding party for a change, and it delighted my purist's heart to shoot only in film for the duration of the weekend.

Here are some shots from our Golf Outing, the Bachelor Party, the Rehearsal and the Wedding day.

Please enjoy!

Brooke and Josh's Wedding

Brooke and Josh were married a few weekends ago. The morning started off a bit foggy, but cleared up to give them an absolutely perfect wedding day! We started our day at the Sutton Hotel in Chicago for a few getting ready shots of Brooke and her bridesmaids. We then made our way to the South Shore Cultural Center which, incidentally, was the venue for the Obama's wedding reception. Brooke and Josh's Jewish Ceremony was held in the Solarium. It made for a gorgeous setting! I loved photographing in this space with its checkered tiling, the amazing chandeliers and the abundance of beautiful natural light! I could have shot there all day! Of course, they were only a few steps away from Lake Michigan, so we made sure to grab a few shots at the beach before the day was through.

Josh and Brooke were such a fun, easy going couple. I had a lot of fun working with them on their day. Please enjoy a few of our favorite shots from their wedding.
