Tony proposed to Francesca at the Trump International Chicago Hotel, during the fireworks. Not bad. So with that in mind including the Trump building in their engagement session was a no brainer. However, before heading downtown, we had to include their pup Bruno in a couple of pictures at a local neighborhood park……

Puja & Nikhill – engaged

April 19, 2011

Puja & Nikhill are getting married next month, but between the crazy blizzard weather in Chicago this winter, and the fact that Nikhill is currently working in another city, scheduling was a bit difficult. Better later than never I say! Also big thanks go out to Puja’s brother who was our cab driver for the day, shuttling us around the city and waiting patiently in the car while we worked.

Shikha & Manmeet…the engagement!

March 12, 2011

A few weeks ago I posted the teaser image from Shikha & Manmeet’s Chicago engagement session. Well here are a few more of my favorites from that session. Stay tuned, their wedding is coming up this summer!

Shikha & Manmeet – Engagement “teaser”

February 21, 2011

Shikha & Manmeet are getting married this summer, and despite the brutal weather and the fact that they are both in the middle of their medical residencies in different states (Georgia and Massachusetts), they were able to find the time to hop on a plane and make it in for their engagement photographs this past weekend. There’s more to come, but I wanted to post one of my favorites from the first part of their session…..

check back in a few days and there should be a few more from Saturday’s session!

Behind the Image – Jennifer & Derek

November 23, 2010

This isn’t quite a Before/After example, but it’s a good example of how to alter the quality of the light that you have available by using a speedlight, rather than simply using the speedlight to increase the quantity of the light in a given scene.

I mentioned an interview with Cliff Mautner, to hear the entire interview, simply find the LIghtsource podcasts in iTunes and download the interview with Cliff!

Couldn’t wait…..

September 27, 2010

Normally I try to wait until I’m able to work through a selection of photographs from a wedding, engagement session, or family photography session before posting them on the blog, but I just couldn’t wait to post this particular photo from Kristina & Chris’ engagement session yersterday afternoon. I’ll share a few more from this session at a later date, but for now I wanted to get this one up for everyone to see!
