Marriott Chicago Walima (H + Z)
A glimpse of an evening filled with laughter, love and a lot of sparkles.
Byron Colby Barn (Maria + Mike)
As a photographer you often can get caught in your own style, techniques & gear. I think a great way to break this mold is second shooting – aka photographing with another lead photographer. I have been following Rebecca Marie’s work ever since I met her a year ago at a PUG meeting and I love her…
Parisian Styled Shoot (Chicago)
It was my first styled shoot – for those who are not familiar with the term, and that might mean anyone not related to the wedding industry – a styled shoot is what it claims to be – a shoot that is styled. Think of a theme, put a look together – props, outfits, details – and…
Conroe Family (Evanston)
I hope everyone is enjoying this Christmas week. It does not matter what religion and faith you subscribe to, its the holidays and I hope you are relaxing, feeling happy, enjoying some me-time or having a blast with your family. Most of my posts this year have been about weddings and engagements, but I thought…
Aditi + Aaron Wedding (Naperville Wedding Photos)
I met Aditi when she moved from Kansas – all ready to settle in to the big city called Chicago. Fast forward a few years, right around this time last year, I met Aaron at a friend’s birthday dinner – and I shrieked -‘but I have to photograph your wedding’ (yes, I sometimes do that…
Cupcakes and a Wedding
Alicia and Chris had the most intimate wedding planned for themselves. Absolutely close friends and family, and the two of them and cupcakes. Is it wrong to obsess about the cupcakes when you are documenting the bride and groom – I hope love for chocolate and most things sweet is a taken for granted and…
Sile Jon an Evanston Wedding
When I walked into Hotel Orrington to a room full of muffins and open bottles of champagne, I knew that the day has started right in the Malone and Greene wedding!
Maja + Ivan Wedding (Holiday Inn, Chicago Wedding Photos)
Once in a while you work with a couple who become friends on the way. Maja and Ivan are one of them. It has been a lot of fun getting to know them, exchange notes on similarities between Bosnian and Indian cultural nuances- to see them figure out the details of the wedding, and be…
V and Grandparents
Last year, right about this time, this little boy came to get his photographs taken – he was a few weeks old- tiny little model and oh-so-adorable! Then some time passed, and he turned ONE – yes one year old and his grandparents flew all the way from India to party with him. Now that…
A Hyde Park Session
They moved from Bosnia in 1994, lived in different parts of Chicago, met ten years later and are getting married at the end of this month. Maja designs jewelry as a hobby (check out her store on Etsy – MajaEarrings) and is designing her jewelry for the wedding. Ivan brews his own beer but last I checked is not responsible for…
