I am super excited to share the news that some of our photos of a wedding shower that was hosted at Tipsy Cake were featured on Brenda's Wedding Blog!
This was a truly beautiful wedding shower. Tipsy Cake did an amazing job preparing all the delicious treats and decorations while Pistil & Vine created truly amazing flower creations.
Check out those photos! The purple color theme really worked so well here from flowers and deserts to incredible purple chips:)

We wanted to share a few wedding photos from Jackie & Tony’s wedding that we photographed back in October! Jackie and Tony’s wedding was at Narnia Estate in Lemont, Illinois. That place is simply breathtaking with its beautiful mansion, classic statues everywhere, gorgeous gardens, and small private lake.
Jackie’s dream was to have a fairy-tale wedding and she had to work hard for it.Besides getting all of the details for the wedding she had to research different religions to pray to every god possible to have amazing California weather on their wedding in Illinois. As we were...

just wanted to share the slideshow a small wedding of Priscilla & Daniel I had a pleasure to photograph. The preparation and ceremony was in a chapel on Northwestern Campus in Evanston right by the Shakespeare Garden. After the ceremony we took few photos around Northwestern and then we drove downtown for few more photos. This is was a intimate wedding as Priscilla & Daniel will have their true wedding reception in Michigan where their families live.
Priscilla & Daniel describe themselves as classic/traditional - with a twist :) They LOVE the outdoors. They actually lived in Colorado...

Below are some of my favorite photos from Magda and Andrew weddings. Magda and Andrew met in Urbana-Champaign at the University of Illinois. Even though Magda has been studying super hard to pass all the exams to become an architect she and Andrew were able to plan such a beautiful wedding. Magda being so creative she designed and printed her own wedding invitations! See them below! They were really nice! The ceremony was in the beautiful church of Saint Paul of the Cross in Park Ridge where I will also be photographing a wedding of Kathy & Ned later this year. Then the wedding reception was at Belvedere...

Being a Chicago Wedding Photographer is so a great opportunity to meet so many wonderful people! Lakisha and Alexander are definitely one of them:) Alex and Kisha met in Florida where both studied at the Florida A&M University. I think they made such a strong impression on each other because they both remember really well in which class they met for the first time and even who the professor was. It was an economics class and the professor was Dr Wilson. Actually, I forgot to ask Kisha and Alex whether Dr Wilson was invited to the wedding:) Well, after meeting at the economics class Kisha and Alex...

One of nice ideas for Save-The-Date cards for weddings is to print them on fridge magnets. Those cards still reproduce color super nicely, come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but most importantly wedding guests can put them on the fridge to remember about the upcoming wedding.
In the Save-The-Date cards that I create for my clients I also include their website address. This is a custom website that I create where we can include information about the couple (how they met, what they like, etc), the wedding party, wedding ceremony and reception, accommodation, etc
Below are couple of photos...

I spent the last couple of weeks watching a 3-day wedding posing workshop with Bambi Cantrell. I purchased the workshop through CreativeLive. CreativeLive is an amazing concept created by Chase Jarvis where workshops with famous photographers are broadcasted and recorded. Watching the workshop live is free!

Bambi is a world famous, received some of the most prestigious awards, and above all she just explodes with energy. She definitely is a master of posing people whether it's a photo of one person...
