Chase and Debbie's Wedding

We have had very few nice days this April so far and Chase and Debbie had one of those days in between that it was pleasant!  Which is good because their ceremony was set to be outside at the Country Mansion in Dwight, IL.  Debbie had put so much of her personality into her wedding down to the littlest thing like a music box that played "singing in the rain" just in case it was raining. I love photographing details like this.  They even opted to do pie's instead of cake because they like pies so much more!  Anyways, I had a blast shooting their wedding and I hope you enjoy viewing their photos. undefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefined

Erin and Michael's Wedding

On April 1st I was able to photograph Erin and Michael's wedding here in town.  It was a typical spring day with very unpredictable weather but we managed it by finding a few dry spots around the area for portraits.  I love that Erin wanted to use the red door at a church she didn't even get married at!  They were so wonderful to work for and I appreciate their willingness to brave the rain. Enjoy the photos!

Jennifer and Richard, Hard Rock Hotel, Chicago

Richard and Jennifer got married on a very snowy day on the first weekend in March.  I loved this wedding because everything about it was a culmination of their favorite things and I was honored to make visual memories of it all!  The ceremony was a St. Clements and their reception was at the Hard Rock Hotel in downtown Chicago.  It was VERY snowy and windy and I can't thank them enough for their willingness to brave the cold weather for their portraits.  I mean, seriously, they don't even look like it was cold out!  Such an amazing couple to work with.  Enjoy the photos!

Katie and Dave's Chicago Engagement Session

Katie and Dave are getting married this May in Ann Arbor, MI and I'm totally pumped to travel out there for their wedding.  But in the meantime they came to Chicago for a few engagement photos.  It was supposed to be a super rainy day so I suggested that we start in the Garfield Conservatory.   Well, apparently you need to get a release from the park district to photograph in public park buildings so we got kicked out.  Haha! Which I'm actually totally cool with because the rain held off and we were able to go downtown Chicago for a few portraits.  All shot on film (except for the last two diptychs) I love the color and grain it gives me! It's something real which feels so good...
