Kasse and Mike | Racine Wedding Photography

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.

Emily and Shayne | Kenosha Wedding Photography

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.

Alyssa and Josh | Kenosha Wedding Photography

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.

Andrea and Mike | Racine Wedding Photography

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

Katie and Jonah | Kenosha Wedding

A few weeks ago I had the chance to shoot the wonderful wedding of Katie and Jonah. The weather looked like it would hold off but it didn’t end up doing that. In the pouring rain we managed to still get some great shots. We even managed to improvise the family portraits and go over to the Kenosha Public Museum and do it in the lobby. Here are some samples from that day. Congrats you two.

Amber and Joe : Milwaukee Engagement Session

I had the great pleasure of shooting Amber and Joe’s engagement session a few weeks back. They are getting married next year at the Kenosha Public Museum. When they told me they lived just outside Milwaukee I decided to take the opportunity and shoot in the Third Ward. There are so many cool things to shoot there. I had a blast and even enjoyed lunch with them. I love engagement sessions because it gives me the chance to learn more about the great couples I will be working with. Here are just a few samples from the shoot. Thanks for the memories you two!

Christina and Juan : July 11th Petrifying Springs Wedding

I have finally gotten caught up on all the weddings from the last month. On July 11th I had the chance to shoot the nuptials of Christina and Juan. The wedding was at Petrifying Springs park outside. The day couldn’t have been more perfect. The sun got a little hot but everyone made it through. The reception was right across from the ceremony. Most of the table decorations and favors were all hand done and looked great. The bride and groom had such a good time. Here are some images from their day!

Good day one and all. I am still knee deep in finishing a couple awesome weddings but I wanted to just chime in and show you the slideshow I did for Dan and Chelsea. I will begin work on their album here real soon.

July 4th Wedding + Dan and Chelsea = fireworks!

This last 4th of July (Independence Day to the stickler) was a bit out of the ordinary for me. I got the chance to shoot the nuptials of two very good friends of mine. Dan and Chelsea have been together for nearly 7 years leading up to this moment. Last year Dan flew to visit her in Washington D.C. on the 4th of July. On the steps of Capitol Building he proposed to her. The wedding went great.

The ceremony was at their church, Lakeview Church in Zion, IL. The reception was probably one of the most dynamic I have seen. They used the pole barn and land from a member of their church. The place was huge! We got some great shots and even despite the hoards of mosquitoes we had lots of fun. Here are some teaser images until I can release the whole gallery. Look for the slide show soon. I also have a fresh Kenosha wedding to post up as well.

Back from my Honeymoon!

Good afternoon one and all! It feels good to be back…actually I lie. I would have loved to stay there for another two weeks but I have so many wonderful clients to work with here at home there was no such luck. My new wife Paulina and I had a great time in sunny Oahu Hawaii. We got a chance to see tons of cool stuff and my wife got her first chance to see the ocean and get a taste of salt water. Here is a shot of us at the Byodo-In temple replica in Kaneohe Hawaii. She has mastered the Myspace-esque (is that even a word?) technique of shooting both of us.

The next several weeks will be super busy for me. I have an awesome wedding to shoot on the 4th of July for two very good friends and then the weekend after I am shooting for Christina and Juan. I am also presently working on Jennifer and Gary’s album. So much fun stuff to keep me busy. I am looking forward to all the wonderful weddings coming up in the next few months.

I wanted to make a pitch while I was typing this post for anyone interested in 2010 dates. I am getting a lot of inquiries and my dates are filling up pretty fast so contact me and we can get together and get comfortable with the fact that I will be the man for the job. :)
