Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!



I wanted to take some time to acknowledge Amy Cano, who has helped me over the past couple months on many shoots. For those of you who don't know, Amy came to Chicago for the summer from California to help me out, as well as volunteer for a church she's been working with in Chicago. She's been a great assistant/intern/shotgun car companion/student.

So know you're probably trying to figure out this picture. This was a wedding for Alexis and Josh we did about a month ago, and the reception was at a banquet hall/conservatory. We had some time before the guests arrived, so we went to the museum part of the conservatory to look around. I turned to see where Amy was, and I saw her taking this picture. I started cracking up because here she is, doing a great job at capturing the details of the venue, but the stuffed owl just was just too hilarious. I love how the wings are positioned perfectly to simulate how it's flying around, maybe about to capture a mouse or something like that.

Amy - I know you're probably going to want to kill me for posting this picture, but I had to do it. Thanks again for all your hard work. You're going to be a great photographer and I'm very fortunate we were able to work with each other this summer. Thanks again!

Steve

Brooke and Doug

I had the best time this evening photographing Brooke and Doug. We started out on Michigan Avenue, and then headed down to Navy Pier and pretended we were from out of town. It was really nice outside, even though it was a little hot at times. Here are a couple of shots.

Here's clue #2

Something really cool is in the works. Can you guess what it is from this picture?

New Wedding Album

So earlier this year I was at at the WPPI show in Las Vegas, and I met with an amazing wedding album company. All of their albums are hand made in Japan, and the quality is unreal! I liked the album so much I ordered two of them for my own wedding album. Here are some pictures of some of the pages. One has black pages, and the other one is in white.


here's the front cover




many of the pages have fold outs, so it really gives a wide perspective



A lot of the pages have custom cut marks based on the pictures on the page. On this page, all you saw was Carolyn, and then when you unfolded the spread, it revealed a completely different scene.

Kristen and Shawn

And last, but certainly not least... here's a couple shots from an engagement session I did in San Francisco on Monday before jumping on a flight back to Chicago. It was a fast paced shoot since Carolyn and I had to run to the airport to make our flight. We got a ride back from Kristen and Shawn which was perfect. Plenty of time to spare and hit an airport bookstore before the flight.











Rehersal dinner pictures from this past weekend

Here are a couple quick shots from Katie and Patrick's rehersal dinner in Santa Rosa. It was a nice, relaxing dinner... and it was the perfect size get together.










pictures from San Francisco

We got back last night from San Francisco. We were only there for about a day, but it was packed with a lot of fun. We walked the golden gate bridge for the first time. And we managed to cram some shopping in during our 5 mile hike around the city. Here are some pictures from Sunday afternoon.
