Chicago Water Tower Wedding | Jamie + OG

secondprint — Tue, 08 May 2012 08:57:36 +0000

Simple and Beautiful. Often times, I find that larger wedding celebrations distract all of us from the whole point of the wedding day. This wasn’t the case with Jamie and OG. They had their closest friends and family attend their early afternoon wedding out in the public in front of the Water Tower at Chicago’s Magnificent Mile.

It was an honor to be asked by a my friend Daryl to shoot his small, intimate wedding in Waikiki, Honolulu Hawaii. This would be my second time there within 3 months. I love my job!! Capturing Ana and Daryl’s wedding made me realize that destination weddings are absolutely the best way to get married. I totally recommend this option to all of you if you’re thinking about having something special and memorable. Enjoy some of these samples from their day:

Elk Grove IL Belvedere Wedding | Erica + Mark

On a frigid February afternoon, Erica and Mark decided to tie the knot and seal their love for one another at St. Julian’s Church and cap off the night with a celebration at the Belvedere Banquet halls in Elk Grove, IL. When I shot their engagement photos at their favorite location – a local movie theater, I knew these two were madly in love and destined for each other! Their love for the movies carried over to some of the details on display at the reception! Enjoy some samples:

It was an honor to shoot Daisy and Jonathan’s wedding in OakLawn, IL.

Daisy and Jon, thank you for allowing me to capture your special day! Enjoy some fun samples:

Royal Caribbean Cruise Wedding | Vicky + Rich

secondprint — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 23:59:49 +0000

Last month, I had the privilege of shooting Vicky and Rich’s wedding aboard Royal Caribbean’s Allure of the Seas Cruise ship – the biggest cruise liner in the world. We ported in Fort Lauderdale and began our journey to the eastern Caribbean islands of Nassau Bahamas, St. Maarten, and St. Thomas. I had such an amazing time and it was truly a blessing to spend the week with some dear friends. I’m gonna have to do this again at least once a year! Enjoy some random samples from around the boat and also from the islands:

Honolulu, Hawaii Destination Wedding | Kelly + Jamie

secondprint — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 04:00:32 +0000

What an amazing year it’s already been! 2012 started off with a beautiful trip to Honolulu, Hawaii on the island of Oahu to shoot Kelly and Jamie’s wedding. Being that it was my first time in Hawaii, I had to bring my wife with me to enjoy the beautiful destination. Our wedding day started off with preparations at their hotel in the popular Waikiki area, followed by a picturesque wedding chapel at the beautiful Paradise Cove Resort. We ended the perfect day at the brand new Disney Aulani Resort for their reception. Enjoy some samples from their wedding!

Leather Craftsmen Albums

secondprint — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 00:11:50 +0000

I am super excited to share that I will be exclusively using Leather Craftsmen to build my albums for 2012. I love their quality and customer service. The truth is, albums are very expensive to produce and it may seem that photographers get away with a killing on the profit margins of album building….but it is a very labor intensive undertaking, requiring skill, software and a lot of time.

If you are a former client of mine and have contemplated purchasing an album but weren’t able to at the time of your wedding, please contact me! It’s never too late! And for those of you who are planning out your wedding packages with a specific budget in mind, you can always add an album for your one year anniversary. You will always have the opportunity to own a beautiful wedding album later. I can tell you from shooting hundreds of weddings, there is no greater feeling than delivering an album to a client who’s completely happy with their experience. Check out a few of my samples from Leather Craftsmen:

We also carry several colors! Here’s a sample of Ivory:

What a fun and special wedding with Suzanna and Matt. They had a really small wedding held at this small, quaint chapel in Sycamore, IL called the Chapel in the Pines. Now, when I mean small, it was just the bride, groom and officiant (and myself of course). Check out a couple of samples!
