I think Heather’s sister, Jennifer, was more excited about the wedding day than Heather was!

Heather’s uncle has this very retro Lincoln Continental which they used to run Heather and her Dad from the barn over to the ceremony gazebo.  The cool thing about this car is her Uncle drove her mother to her mother’s wedding in it as well!

Instead of using the Lincoln, Heather’s Mom surprised them with a horsedrawn carriage ride for the ride back to the barn.

IMG 3844 Kim & MichaelGood bye grey sky…..hello blue!  Someone spotted Henry Winkler, AKA Arthur Fonzarelli, AKA the “Fonz”  outside the Renaissance Schaumburg hotel. He was actually there participating as a speaker/panel member for a workshop addressing upper limb spasticity as part of the Abilities Expo which was at the Renaissance convention center over the weekend.   We asked him to pose for a picture with the bride & groom on their wedding day and he couldn’t have been more accomodating…….

…..ever the one to uphold the reputation of the “Fonz”……he’s still got it with the ladies…..all we were missing was a juke box and a motorcycle…….

IMG 3863 Kim & Michael…..and I’m sure he’s had to do this only about 20 million times over the years, but Mr. Winkler was a really good sport when the guys wanted to do the “thumbs up” pose!

Chicago wedding photography 3 Maggie & TimI don’t get this lucky that often, but just as I saw these two photographs of Maggie’s parents and grandparents on their wedding day…..Maggie walked up to the mirror and double checked her earrings…..

Chicago wedding photography 5 Maggie & Tim

Chicago wedding photography 6 Maggie & Tim When Maggie started to come down the aisle….I’m watching her with her Dad, and all I hear out of my left ear is “oh wow…oh wow…..unbelievable….”  and I look over and it’s Tim!  I didn’t realize that he was that close, but it’s also one of those moments where I wished I had a tape recorder running…..hopefully their video dudes picked that up and will include it with their edit!

Untitled 1 Maggie & TimThis was super cute…..Tim put his phone down and I noticed that no only does he have Maggie’s photo as his home page image….he set a reminder for his wedding day!

Chicago wedding photography 1 2 Maggie & TimNow I love the “church lady” coordinators who are always helpful, ensuring that photographs are finished up in all of 7 seconds in order to clear out the church, but this particular coordinator was very concerned about making sure I had the proper “filter” for my camera to deal with the windows behind the alter.  Sounds like a different bride got crappy pictures and an even crappier excuse from her photographer on why her formals were no good….No filter needed, thank you very much…….

Almost a month to the day after Puja & Nikhill’s engagement session, they kicked off their wedding celebration.  After conducting Mehndi and Haldi ceremonies earlier in the day, I caught up with them at the Shree Swaminarayan Temple for their Garba celebration the night before the wedding day.

2010 Year in Review

December 16, 2010

As 2010 draws to a close, the days go by getting ready for holiday parties, shopping for gifts, filling last minute holiday card, print, album orders, and remembering each night to move the “Elf On The Shelf” that Jack is addicted to.  But I also like to take this opportunity to look back on the wedding season and remember all of the fantastic brides and grooms who allowed me to photograph the biggest day of their lives.

Congratulations to all of JCP’s 2010 brides and grooms!  Hope you’re enjoying your first holiday season as married couples!
