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.
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.

Your wedding photography is amazing. I really like your B&W images. Keep up the good work.
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. :)

What are you going to do for your upcoming 1st anniversary? Congratulations! :)
PLEASE NOTE I WILL BE GONE ON MY HONEYMOON UNTIL JUNE 23RD.
Good evening one and all. Just working on some last minute details before my wedding Saturday. I can’t believe it’s here already. I just wanted to share some great images from Jennifer and Gary’s wedding May 23rd. There wedding was in Kenosha and the reception was at Bristol Oaks Country Club. I had a chance to get some good shots and tried a few new things. I bought a package of Polaroid 600 film (very expensive I might add. LOL.) to mess with. I had Jennifer and Gary look at each other and took separate shots. I had a lot of fun. Their little daughter Manda was quite the show stealer. She loved having pictures taken.

Great pictures! I love the first one. Very inspiring!
Good day one and all. Wedding season is kicking up into high gear this month with another wedding shoot this weekend. The lovely couple of Jennifer and Gary are getting married in Kenosha. The reception is at Bristol Oaks country club which I am excited to shoot at. I think I may take a drive out there today and see what there is to be had.
18 days left until my own wedding! I am in overdrive mode to get all that finished as well. Please note that because of the wedding and our awesome honeymoon to Hawaii I will be “closed” from June 1st until the 23rd. Now this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t email me if you want to book a date, it just means that I will be a bit slower getting back to you. I mean a guy deserves a little time for his honeymoon right?
Have a blessed week.

Had the opportunity to shoot some engagement pictures for some great friends a few weeks back. We managed to have a lot of fun despite the rough wind and the eventual torrential downpour. Here are some samples from their shoot. We shot in Zion at the old cookie factory.
