Here’s another fun Esession I shot in downtown with Gesika and Jaime.  They both met here Chicago but she’s currently living in West Virginia.  It’s not often she gets to come back to Chicago to see her fiance so we took advantage of the beautiful weather and got some sick shots.  I can’t wait to travel out to WV next spring to shoot their wedding. It’s gonna be in a barn!!!  I can’t wait!!

Check out this lovely couple at Lincoln Park here in Chicago. They’re so radiant.  I can’t wait to shoot their wedding next year with JJ Kim.

A big congrats to Chris and Eric who got married at the beautiful Cuneo Mansion in Vernon Hills, IL. It’s such an amazing venue to host a wedding.  I wish these guys the best.  Check out a few samples!

Congrats to Gavin who just turned 1 recently.  Gavin is the son of a former wedding client of mine 2 years ago. I’m so happy for them because  Gavin is such a cool kid and it was nice seeing them again.  Check out the samples:

I had a fanastic time shooting Vandercook College of Music’s 2010 Commencement today at the Chicago Symphony Center.  It was a rare, wedding-free Saturday for me so I was able to shoot this for them.  I’ve worked with the school on several occasions and it was cool to see familiar faces performing all throughout the ceremony.  Congrats to all the Masters’ of Music Education Graduates!  If you would like to view the gallery and purchase prints, click HERE.

I shot this awesome wedding with Kathryn and TC.  It was a perfect day in Chicago.  Check out some random samples:

Congrats to Jane and John on baby Ava! She’s so adorable. There’s a special place in my heart for baby girls. Having raised two myself, I know how it’s like dress up these baby girls and pour out all your love onto them. I wish them the best of luck on their move to Michigan.

It was an honor to be asked to shoot a wedding for a friend of mine. You see, I’ve known Tiffany ever since she was a little girl from CCUC. I will never forget the day that I met Chris on Black Friday as we were waiting in line at the local Fry’s store talking about xbox video games.  I’m so happy for these guys and really looking forward to shooting their wedding.  Now onto some samples:

I had a LOT of fun on this photoshoot with Debbie and Leigh. They brought me to their alma mater  where they first met – DePaul University.  Check out some samples:

They decided to take me to the location where they first met.  Here they had a friendly game of basketball.

Debbie got posterized by one of Leigh’s two-handed (wanna be) dunks.

Debbie was dribbling circles around Leigh and he had to resort to holding her.

A simple lap around the track proved to be fatal for Leigh. 

Mary & Nick are two really special people to us.  We shot their beautiful wedding in Sycamore, IL about 3 months ago. They moved back into the Oakland area for Nick’s job.  They showed us where they lived and we got a chance to hang out in Oakland.   We ended off with an awesome meal at Triple Rock on the Berkeley Campus.  Check out their samples!
