| I have lived in Chicago for about 7 years now and the first time my car gets broken into is in Brazil, Indiana. UGH. This is the horrific site. Ok, I am being a wee bit dramatic. Ha. Happy Holidays!!!!! |

| I wanted to share an article that is being featured in the new issue of Brides Chicago. I was picked to have one of my weddings featured along with several other awesomely amazing Chicago photographers. Sara and Kevin were a pleasure to photograph and their wedding was a blast! I am going to start submitting more weddings for print/web. I have been totally slacking in that department! I have been so busy photoshopping and editing like a fool that I have neglected the other little details. Luckily, Cristina at Brides found my site/blog and asked for the wedding to be featured!! Very cool!!!! |

I like to call this....Monkey Cake.

| Thats right! Eat it, Cake Girls. I made this amazing 'cupcake' birthday cake. Ok...so its not the prettiest thing. Ha! Oh well, at least the monkey digs it. |
Rene and Ari were married at the Garfield Park Conservatory. I LOVE that venue. Its so cool.
Rene looks like a movie star in this shot! Love it. |
| This is hilarious! It looks like Ari is SO over Dawn (my second photographer) in this shot. |
| Rene gets ready to brave the weather for their first meeting. |
| And we only braved the weather for about one minute! |
| And we were on our way to the Conservatory. |
| You can see the snow blowing in this shot. I kind of love the little heart on the steps! |
| but not before we witnessed a snowball fight! |
| Ok...this venue ROCKS. We had lots of time for shots of the two of them. Check them all out below. They were modeling their butts off for these shots!! |
| The very small wedding party. They just asked their sisters to be in the party. Love it! |
| Rene is like 'sign what?!?'. |
| Here is Renes sister getting me back! |
| And the ceremony begins... |
| I am still not sure what they were looking at? |
| I loved the background during the ceremony. |
| Renes father giving his speech. |
| Ari was happy with the speeches. |
| I LOVE this one. Aris mother giving Rene a smooch! |
| Rene and her father dance. |
| Renes grandmother checking out the goods! |
| Look, its Kim and Danny!!!!! I shot their wedding in October. |
| Aris aunt had a birthday that night and this was when everyone was signing 'Happy Birthday'. |
| What is Ari looking at?! HA! |
| This shot is from their engagement session. Louis could not be at the wedding but he made it to the blog. |
| Here is an ode to Louis. His collar really POPS in this shot! |
Julie is the co-owner of Dame Couture. If you need an awesome dress, call Julie! I recently photographed the wedding of Sara and Kevin and she designed her dress.
After seeing the wedding images, Julie emailed me about shooting her, Matt and her belly. I loved it. Hope you like!
This is an image of the super cool dress she designed for Sara. |
| Matt and Julie had an awesome place near Midway. The entire house looked like you stepped into the 50's. I loved it! |
| The dogs cared about two things and two things only. 1. Beer 2. Popcorn |
| The fun and bubbly bluegrass band. |
| And the more serious bluegrass band. |
| The Kentucky Hillbilly shot. I think we could have read it all if her feet were not so swollen from the pregnancy. Next time, Julie, next time! |
| One of my favorites! So wrong. And no, she was not really drinking the beer! |
| And this is by far my favorite! Thanks for pulling out the flag for a few shots. I believe it was well worth it!!!! |
| Thanks for inviting me over!!!! |
