Good day one and all. I have been a bit aloof over the past month or so. The weather has actually been quite nice as well. I wanted to take time to post some personal images I had taken while I get ready to ramp up the wonderful 2010 wedding season. I have been meeting tons of wonderful brides and grooms over the past few weeks. Some have even been thinking ahead enough to be planning for their 2011 weddings.

I took these images a few weeks ago on a Sunday. The weather was really odd and the light dust of snow we had gotten the night before clung to the trees like a gentle touch of diamonds. Hurrying out to Petrifying Springs Park, my wife and I started shooting right away. The sky started out overcast which worked well but then the sun came out. No sooner had it touched the branches then most of the snow vaporized right into the air. I was really bummed but we got some great pictures none the less.

Enjoy these images and I hope to be diligent enough to spend more time updating the blog. Have a blessed and prosperous week in all you do.

The 2009 season has now come and gone. It was an awesome year. I had the extreme pleasure of working with so many couples, including Emily and Jake. Emily and Jake were my final wedding couple of the year on December 30th. Amidst a gentle snow and cool winter afternoon they got married at First Assembly of God in Kenosha. It was a beautiful ceremony and they had a lot of fun at the reception. Here are some shots I love from the wedding. Congratulations you two!

Church: Kenosha First Assembly of God

Reception: Pleasant Prairie Radisson

Good evening one and all. It’s now a couple short days until Christmas Eve. I love this time of year. I love it even more when we have a bit of snow. I just wanted to take a moment and wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year. I look forward to seeing all my wonderful 2010 couples next year. I also want to congratulate all my couples who are sharing their first Christmas as husband and wife.

Sincerely,

Dean Aceto II

Several weeks ago I had the pleasure of working with Kasse and Mike. I shot Mike’s brother’s wedding last year. The day was cold but we managed to get outside and take some great shots. The wedding party was a bunch of troopers and trudged on for all the photos. I haven’t laughed at a wedding as hard as I did that day. Everyone was cracking jokes all day long. The entire ceremony and reception was at the Marriott hotel in Racine. Enjoy these wonderful selections from their day.

Happy November everyone! How are all my wonderful couples doing? I am finishing off my last wedding for the next month or so. I wanted to take a moment and give you all some exciting news. I have decided to begin offering a a Photo Fun booth. What do you get when you take a 9 foot white background, a massive umbrella and some fun loving wedding guests? Lots of fun!

Coverage includes:

-2 hours of coverage (not to exceed the contracted photography time)

- All Photobooth images are included on your final DVD

- Online image posting your your guests to view and buy images.

Check out some samples. You can add this to any package! Ask about my special introductory price.

Are you planning on getting married in 2010? Not engaged but planning on that romantic New Year’s eve proposal? Whatever you love story is (or will be) you are going to need an awesome photographer to capture your big day. Dates for 2010 are filling up very quickly. This is just my gentle push to let everyone on the fence know that if they want to lock me down for a date in 2010 please get in contact with me ASAP. I am getting 3-4 inquiries  a week for the months of June, July and August. I have a feeling they wont be open for to much longer.

Don’t think you can afford me? My collections start at $1500 with 2 photographers and a disc of images with a signed waiver to print them for personal use. The only money needed up front is a small retainer. The rest comes later. And hey, after the wedding is done what will you have left besides your memories and the pictures from that day. The limo driver goes home, the flowers wilt, and the leftover food gets thrown away. Your love is special and your love story deserves to be told in the best possible way.

Thanks so much. I look forward to meeting all my new love birds in 2010

Ceremony: Kemper Center – Kenosha, WI

Reception: Kenosha Best Western

A weeks ago now I had the chance to shoot the wonderful nuptials of Emily and Shayne. They got married at Kemper Center, which I am very familiar with. We used the grounds to do all of our shooting and it was a blast. It was fun to play our giant game of cat and mouse as we had to move to avoid the bride and groom seeing each other as we changed locations. The reception was at the Best Western in Kenosha right down the street. The food was super yummy. We also got a chance to set up the Photo Booth. Here are some samples from their day.

Ceremony: Seibert Chapel , Carthage College

Reception: Radisson Hotel

September 26th I had the chance to shoot the wedding of Alyssa and Josh. These two were great to work worth and I had a blast with the bridal party. They had their ceremony at the awesome Seibert Chapel at Carthage College. The natural light and huge organ was a nice backdrop. Here are some of the highlights from their day.

A few weeks ago I had the honor of shooting Anna and Dave’s engagement. They came down from Madison to shoot with me on a Sunday. I, of course, had to make it worth their while. I played photographer and tour guide all in one afternoon. I am shooting their wedding next year in Green Bay. We had a lot of fun and I think that shows through on the images. Here is a taste of what we shot.

This last weekend I had the chance to shoot the wedding of this lovely couple. I have to say up front I was stocked to hear we would be having the wedding ceremony at the “space ship” church in Racine. I have driven by it for years and always wondered what it looked like inside. It was a nice sunny day and actually a bit hot, which was nice. Here are some images from Andrea and Mike’s Racine Wedding:

Church: Mount Pleasant Lutheran Church

Reception Venue: Infusino’s Reception Hall
