We had the beautiful Morton Arboretum in Lisle as the backdrop for Erin and Christopher’s wedding and reception. This plus a fun couple and great weather made for a perfect day.

Our friends at J. Andrews Salon recently needed some photos and we were happy to help out. Their great space is easy to make look good and we had fun spending the morning there.

Jaclyn and Tom made the most of a chilly morning in downtown Chicago. They were comfortable in front of the camera from the get go, and that combined with their love for each other made for great photos…Congratulations!

I wanted to share some images I photographed last year in Miami. My favorite is the second to last one of the Bank of America building.

Not even after much coaxing, we couldn’t get a few notes out of Frank, but nevertheless he was fun to have in the studio.

As a precursor to their wedding, I had the opportunity to photograph Kristin and Jason this week. Their enthusiasm and excitement truly makes the photos. Kristin is able to convey a real sense of joy that makes her fun to photograph. I look forward to seeing them this weekend!

I have finally worked on some of the travel images from last year and I thought I would like to share them on the blog. I traveled in Europe visiting Amsterdam, Bruge, The Flanders area, Paris and Brussels. There are dozens of cemeteries and memorials throughout the Flanders area of Belgium honoring veterans form World War I. The morning I was there a fog settled in over much of the area and helped enhance the seriousness of the setting. More to come later.

I helped on a project with my friend Anthony Vizzari, www.photostruct.com, last year photographing Lake Point Towers anniversary here in Chicago. At the time of it’s construction Lake Point Towers was the tallest residential building in the world. We worked on the top of the building for a number of shots which enabled us to get a unique point of view to the city. I am including some of the images I contributed on the project.

Ceremony: Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, Chicago
Reception: Sidebar Grill


Veronica and Saurabh met while traveling for their jobs in the wine industry. Good wine was present in never ending quantities at the reception. A small party with very high energy along with a bride and groom who were able to lead the celebration by their example.

Veronica wanted winter and a little snow was fine…
