Kenosha Engagement Photography || Adam and Nicole

Hello again everyone out there. I see it has been a very long time since I last wrote a blog entry. With the wedding season getting ready to explode for another wonderful summer the posting will pick up again I promise. I start it off with a wonderful Kenosha Engagement session. Adam and Nicole were awesome to work with. We met up outside the Nook Coffee shop downtown to start off our day. The weather was a bit chilly for this time of year but they trudged on in style. Here are some samples from that day:

Kenosha Wedding Photography : Full for 2010!

Good evening one and all. In a few short minutes we will be setting our clocks ahead by and hour and I will be one sleepy guy tomorrow! Time is moving by so fast it seems. I myself am nearly 3 months away from my first wedding anniversary. I now know the feeling each one of my couples must experience when they too arrive at that first anniversary.

I wanted to simply take a moment and let everyone who visits the page know that I am completely full for the 2010 season! I want to thank all the awesome couples I will have the opportunity to work with this year. I had a ton of inquiries for dates that filled up really quick. I actually had to turn away so many awesome people this year it was a bit sad for me. I wish I could shoot them all (with a camera of course LOL). Just a nice reminder for future 2011 and beyond brides: Make sure you book as far in advance for your photographer as you can. The good photographers book first.:)

Coming in the next several months as well I will be posting about my planned portrait work for 2011 (namely that I am going to start doing it) and my new and unique wedding collection. CrossWorks Photography is also going to get a lot more exclusive in 2011 as I will be taking no more than 6 weddings. My busy life schedule and the sheer amount of weddings I have taken in 2009 and will take in 2010 have caused me to want to focus more on each wedding and also offer more portraits. But I won’t get all long winded on you now. More to come on this soon!

Adios for now everyone. Enjoy  your lost sleep…..I know I wont be….

Winter is nearly over!

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.

Kenosha Wedding Photographer | Emily and Jake

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!

Reception: Pleasant Prairie Radisson

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year From CrossWorks

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

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.
