Paul and Julie - 06.17.07

A New Leaf is one of my favorite venues to photograph and luckily Paul works there, so we had backstage access!! I had a great time photographing the two of them. They were young and in love and it made for some excellent images. They had everyone close to them become a part of the day…..all the way down to the DJ! Enjoy!

Roni and Roey - 06.16.07

Even their names are cool, right? You guys were awesome and you were married on my birthday. Roni kept wishing me a Happy Birthday over and over even though it was one of the biggest nights of her life. Very sweet. We photographed everything at Hotel Allegro in Chicago. They had Kate and Rachel (so cute) from Toast and Jam work their magic on the dance floor. Here are a few shots from the night.

Sarah and Patrick - Engagement Session - 06.13.06

We had to reschedule because of rain and I am so glad we did. It ended up being a beautiful evening shoot. Sarah and Patrick, like most of my couples, were up for anything!!! We were all over the city. I had a blast! Here are some of the great photos that we ended up with!!!

Gettin' Jiggy - 06.14.07

A couple of my friends run Forevermore Dance Studio. These kids are adorable. I wanted to share a couple of photos from the big dance recital.

Before the big number…

Melissa and Adam - Engagement Session - 06.10.07

Melissa and Adam were the second session I had on Sunday. We started in Milennium Park but I didnt get in trouble this time! We did have a very disturbing run-in….more on that later!

They took me to a few places that I have never been before and I am always up for that!!!!

Kelly and Ariel - Engagement Session - 06.10.07

This was my first session on Sunday and it was a nice, warm day. Such a fun couple and they were up for anything but we got in trouble the whole time!! I was told at Millenium Park not to stand on the ledge when I was taking the first shot of the day, Kelly was informed that THE Lion at the Art Institute was not to be touched and then we got kicked off the swings because my camera was too big and we needed special permission.

Dan and Elizabeth - 06.09.07

I met Dan and Elizabeth months ago at her parents beautiful home. I knew right away that they were going to be so much fun to work with…and I was right! They decided to tie the knot at the Art Institute so the photo locations were abundant! The night shots were so much fun. Its always nice to run into drunk Chicagoans!

Erin and Desi - 06.02.07

What a nice way to kick off the blog…Erin and Desi were awesome! Very much in love and my first ever post-ceremony picnic!
