Julianne and Mark just wanted to go "find things". I love that. Well, she did want to shoot at the Kinzie Bridge. Everyone wants the Kinzie Bridge, right?! =)
We started the shoot at the top of a parking garage. Glad we went up there! |
| The parking garage was attached to Second City so we sneaked in for a quick shot. I love this mural so much! |
| We drove around for awhile and then we found this magical spot! I will definitely be going back here. |
| Yes, this was an accidental discovery! Love it. |
| Julianne was quite the poser. =) |
| This chair was just waiting for us. |
These birds have missed me. I know I have missed them.
Another great mural! |
| I loved these next two and I couldn't choose which one to post. Here's both! |
| Our last stop was near the Art Institute. |
| I met up with Stephanie and Cameron at Sonia Roselli's studio in Rogers Park. As soon as Sonia finished with Stephanie's makeup we headed to Lincoln Park to start shooting! |
| The day was perfect for shooting! |
| It wouldn't be the same without at least one silhouette! |
| They met when they both attended DePaul University. Of course, we had to visit campus during their engagement session! I have never shot on campus. We found some great spots! |
| Next stop, Union Station! |
| Her dress was pretty great. I love the side strap! |
| Union Station has such an incredible interior. So cool! |
| Finally, we headed outside and finished our session on the bridges. |
| I photographed Eric's wedding a couple of years ago. He recently asked me to photograph him at the Viaduct Theater during one of his performances. Check out his site, Eric Roth Music. |
Last week, I headed out to photograph the aftermath of the huge storm that we had. I am SO glad I did! I love these images so much. Matt from I Do Films came along for the ride. Check out their work too. It's awesome!
These were all taken around 830pm in Evanston and Wilmette. The colors were insane! |
| The view from right outside of my place in Evanston. |
| The Bahai Temple in Wilmette. |
| I swear this is a water fountain at the Bahai Temple. I swear. |
| Such a cool night. I need to grab my camera for personal work more often! |
Another rainy day wedding in Chicago. This summer has been insane! Luckily, Kari and Stefano beat the odds and the rain came down as their cocktail hour came to a close! We had plenty of time to play in the Chicago sun!
I started with Kari and the girls at the hotel. Antonette White was busy working on the bride when I arrived. |
| And one of the bridesmaids was busy working on getting the cork off of the champagne bottle! |
| Another bridesmaid was getting in her dress when I arrived. |
| Some last minute touch ups. |
| Her shoes and purse were awesome! |
| I loved her purse. The texture was so cool. |
| As soon as she zipped up we were out of the door. |
| Stefano was on his way to meet up with Kari near their Printer's Row home. |
| Kari was on her way with a little gummy bear to keep her energized for their first meeting! |
| And she was off to meet her man. |
| They chose a park across from their place to see each other for the first time. |
| We took a few quick shots... |
| And then we headed to the train station... |
| And then walked over to one of their favorite places... |
| We jumped in a cab and headed to Millenium Park. |
| I love the Lurie Garden's at Millenium Park! |
| The wedding party met up with us and helped the guys with their flowers. |
| The bridge at the Art Institute never gets old! |
| We escaped the attack and headed to the Kinzie Bridge. |
| And a "cute girl" shot... |
| The wedding party posed as the ushers did their thing! |
| Their friend, who was doing video, was in place and ready for the ceremony to start. |
| I love the ceremonies at Prairie! |
| Um, I think she is giving me the stank eye! =) |
| Toni Hassett performed their ceremony. She is so good! I love working with her. |
| Stefano's father. I love this shot of him. |
| A congratulatory hug from the grooms father. |
| The minute cocktail hour starts someone gets revenge on me. |
| Stefano's little brother. |
I ran inside to get some of the special details from their wedding.
They had four sayings printed on the cocktail napkins. I thought that was a really cool idea! |
| I really loved the linens they chose. |
| Their friend made cupcakes for the wedding. I grabbed her for a quick shot before the guests headed inside. |
| They headed inside in a hurry as the rain started pouring down. |
| Stefano and his best man with the grooms cake. |
| The bride and groom with the bride and groom. |
| Not sure what the best man is saying or doing in this photo but it's too funny not to post. |
| He gave a great speech and actually wrote something for Stefano and Kari for the big day. I love when the groom cries! |
| The special dances begin. |
| And then the party got wild! |
| When a nurse meets an ER doctor... |
