I participated in Indie Wed this weekend. It was very successful and lots of fun! The event was held at the Ravenswood Event Center. Such a cool space!
My booth was inspired by my crazy mind and warped sense of humor. Enjoy... |
| I just couldn't contain my love for the absurd. |
| Jarrod helped me out all day... This pose is kind of freaking me out. |
I had some very cool guests stop by throughout the course of the day. If you do not see your photo with Elvis, email me! I can send you a copy via email. There were lots of people stopping by so I could not post them all!
Here is Kelly from Clementine Custom Events. |
| Elvis was fondled all day long! |
| Some people decided to go the 'sweet' route... |
| He was getting lots of love... |
| They had a fashion show with several of Chicago's best... |
| The gang enjoying the show... |
I tried to check out as many booths as I could. Here are a few...
Inspired Goodness had a beautiful booth... |
| Naomi from Tipsy Cake and her Australian inspired wedding cake! So cute. |
| One of my brides brought her mother to the show and they ended up hiring Naomi to do some little pies for their reception. She stepped behind her booth and took charge while Naomi made sure there was more cake on its way to the show! |
| And when it arrived, it was gone in no time! =) |
| A very happy Indie Wed patron! |
| Some awesome 'save the date' cards! |
| How cool is this 'invitation' dress by Kelly at Paper Stories! Kelly also created Indie Wed!! Busy lady. |
| I couldn't end the post without a final shot of my favorite camera hog! Mary, you crazy. Here she is with her famous Toast and Jam prop! |
| Let's hope for another great Indie Wed show in 2011! |
| All it takes is one look at the shoes and you know this wedding is going to be a blast. Yes, she wore leopard print heels. LOVE IT. Becky was so much fun to work with throughout the entire process. She was beyond excited about the photos and that makes my job a piece of cake! |
| I had to post another shot of these shoes! |
| And more animal prints! Her and her sister got ready, side by side. |
| And then we were off to meet Rich... |
| He was just making sure we were going to be there on time. You know how brides are! =) |
| A quick shot in the FREEZING cold before we jumped in the limo for some heat... |
| It was a foggy morning but we grabbed a quick shot at the Planetarium and headed downtown for some more photos! |
| Rich picked her up and we headed for Michigan Avenue! |
| But, not before he cleaned up his bride a bit... |
| So, they are SUPER small in this shot but I love it. Can you even spot them? Probably not. =) |
| I met them on the bridge for another shot... |
| And look, they named a trolley after the bride! |
| They were definitely braving the weather. It was SO cold but we didn't stop. I loved it! |
| I had to take this shot to get the top of the Board Of Trade. The fog was not quitting! |
| They actually took their coats off for this one! |
| And then it was time for a well-deserved coffee break! |
| And a foot wash. Yes, she let me photograph the foot wash. Amazing. |
| And then, with clean feet, we arrived at Club Lucky. What a cool place to have a ceremony/reception! |
| Some post ceremony lovin'. |
| And the bride does a quick change before we snap a few family portraits... |
| This is what I call a family picture! |
| Becky and Rich take a photo with the awesome, Toni Hassett. Toni was their officiant and she always does an awesome job! |
| Becky's sister and her husband give me a quick pose! |
| And then we took a few quick shots with the wedding party... |
| I love the diner feel of Club Lucky. A jukebox at a wedding. Yes! |
| And then it was time for the amazing family style lunch! SO good. |
| Becky's father and nephew. I love this one! |
| They let their guests make speeches throughout lunch... |
| Becky puts on her dancing shoes! |
| She did the Twist with her mother and father. It was so cute! |
| She thought it was cute too! |
| And then Rich asked his mother to dance with him... |
| A quick break from dancing led to some serious cigar smoking... Ok, 'fake' cigar smoking. =) |
| Thanks for the awesome daytime wedding. Very cool! |

Harris and Lila
01.29.10 | Kids!
|
My yearly trip to the Nanden house was this past week. It is so great to see Harris grow up right before my eyes! They just added a new addition, Lila, so this year was extra special.
Yup, that's him! |
| Lila, having some help holding her chin up by mom. |
| He thought that was funny! =) |
| Of course, I had him make some silly faces... |
| And then I told him to jump on the bed. I love getting kids in trouble!! |
| Some nice flashlight work... |
| And it was time for a picture with his little sister... |
| And Holly gets ready to hand her over to her big brother... |
| And he put the squeeze on! |
| She was actually sneezing here but I am going to tell people she was asleep... =) |
| And then she really was out! |
| Bye, Harris! See you next year!!! |

I photographed Jessica's wedding a few years ago. She is now expecting and asked me to take a few shots of her baby bump. Thanks for inviting me into your home and letting me hang out with you and your mother for awhile!!
Gotta love some old school welcome signs... |
| Jessica and her other baby... |
| If there is a dog in the house, it will be shot. =) |
| She looked amazing for how far along she is. Wow. |
| We went outside for a few more shots... |
