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.

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.

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. :)

May 23rd Wedding: Jennifer and Gary – Reception Bristol Oaks Country Club

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.

Wedding this weekend and my own!

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.

Dan : Chelsea E- Session

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.

In the next few weeks I have another wedding to shoot in Kenosha. Then a few short weeks after that on June 6th is my wedding. 32 days from now I will marry the love of my life.

Kenosha Weddings in full swing

Good afternoon one and all. It’s Tuesday, not quite as cool as Wednesday but certainly better than Monday. I just finished up working on Rhiannon and Chris’s 60 page album. That is the largest one I have ever done but man did I have fun working on it. I love working on albums after the wedding because you get to enjoy and relive the day. In honor of albums and the lives they touch I have decided to run a promotion. I hope to do many more promotions soon but this is just the start! Be on the lookout as well for some super cool add-ons I will be bringing out here soon. Enjoy your day everyone and be blessed!
