Engagement Special

From now through March 21st, we are offering a fabulous signing bonus. If you book with us, we will throw in a sign-in book made from your engagement photos; a $250 value! (You must buy a package that includes an engagement session or add an ala carte engagement session to packages that do not have a session included) You can use this at your wedding to have your guests enjoy and write their names and addresses. You'll need one anyway, why not get one on us?!

Mention this post when you come in to sign a contract or during a consultation, and we will make sure that you are on your way to one of our great bonuses.
See you soon!

Haiti Relief Print Sale Party!

We all know of the devastation that took place in Haiti just weeks ago. As photographers, waiters, lawyers, or whatever our profession, it is our duty to use our talents for good. More importantly, as humans, it is our responsibility to take care of our global family when they are in need.

For this reason, we are hosting a Haiti Relief print sale. Come to the G.R. N'Namdi gallery on Friday, February 5 for a night of wine, cheese from J.P. Graziano's, good music, and good company. We will be selling prints, and 100% of the proceeds will go to the American Red Cross and Unicef.

It will be a great opportunity to have a good time, network with other Chicagoans (perhaps get to know the photographer for your upcoming wedding!), and raise money for a great cause.

See you there!

Maggie & Howie

You may remember Maggie & Howie from their golden delicious wedding. The newlyweds came back for a portrait session. We started at their lovely new home, and then headed to Quenchers Saloon and Fireside Bowl.

It is always a treat when our relationship with our clients last beyond the wedding day!

Lauren & David's Engagement Shoot

As we've been winding down shooting weddings we've been doing a lot more engagement shoots. One of our favorite things to shoot are engagements in winter. Chicago is a very cinematic city, especially when it snows. Take a look at our most recent take from working with Lauren and David, and if you haven't done it already, consider scheduling your engagement shoot now!

Emily + Michael's Wedding

Emily and Michael were absolutely great to work with! Not only were they adorable, but very easy-going.

The couple knew they wanted to visit several of Chicago's hot spots for pictures, so they decided to have a small wedding party and schedule plenty of time between their ceremony and reception. We had the opportunity to make it to Millennium Park, Wrigley Field, Chicago Theatre, the Board of Trade and the Calder!

Their reception took place at Fulton’s on the River, where family and friends cocktailed outside, taking advantage of the unseasonably warm weather, and then danced the night away!

Thank you for letting take part in your special day! Want to see more?! Click here to check out their slideshow.

Lake Geneva, WI

With the holidays right around the corner, we thought we would post this lovely wedding from November. Carly and John live in Chicago, but wanted to escape the city a for their wedding. So it was off to Lake Geneva for the weekend! You would never know that we were so close to Chicago! The Observatory, where we took the bridal party looks like it could be in Europe. The Steamboats along the water look like the Old South. Who knew that Lake Geneva could be all those places in one small town. The weather was amazing, the trees were stunning! We captured some of the best images of the season!

Thanks Carly and John for such a wonderful time! Want to see more? Check out their slideshow.

This October, we had a chance to photograph Deb and Emily's wedding in the luxe Hotel Monaco. It may have been a rainy day, but no one's spirits were dampened in the slightest. Both were so relaxed and fun to shoot - it shows in the pics!

Thanks Deb and Em - it was honor to work with you!
