Claire & Andrew | Wedding

It was a small family wedding filled with joy, happiness, love and laughter. Claire and Andrew chose a small shelter in the middle of a forest, to promise their love to each other. It was a special place for Claire, who spent many memorable weekends here with her family. I like spending time in the forests a lot, so I can’t even tell you how happy I was when we arrived to Bendix Woods Park. What a beautiful place! Claire and Andrew have a very loving and caring family. We were honored to document such a special day in their life.

To Claire and Andrew: congratulations! You are truly beautiful people.

John Lavere - Great captures of emotion! I also think what you are doing with out of focus areas in your pictures is fantastic. You seem to be using focus to direct attention to the important part of the picture. Its a wonderful story telling element.

Sisters | family session

Last Sunday I had the pleasure of photographing Aneta and Agnieszka, two sisters who got together with their kids for a quick family weekend in Chicago. It was a fun session and the kids were great. They helped me a lot with setting up my little studio, so I guess I know where to look for my future assistants;-). Aneta and Agnieszka have one more sister, who lives in Poland. I hope one day I will be able to photograph them all together with their families.

JoAnne & Trevor | Wedding

On Saturday I was assisting John LaVere at Joanne and Trevor’s wedding.
It was a nice, warm spring day and everybody was so friendly. I really liked the reception location – Cantigny Park. It’s my other favorite place to photograph. I need to plan a photo session there soon, to I’ll be able to capture the beauty of magnolias and the color of the weeping willows. Nice thing about weddings is that you always get to meet great people and discover new beautiful places.

Cantigny Park

JoAnne and Trevor, thank you for sharing your special day with me. Congratulations!

Ewelina Bieganski - Anna, These pictures are beautiful, especially the ones at Cantigny Park. I love the weeping willow trees, so romantic.

Betsy - Anna,
I love the picture of the bride in the car with the reflection of the trees in the windsheild. Awesome! Also, the bright yellow/green of the weeping willows are beautifully captured in that last one.

Jen LaVere - Great ring shot at the beginning!! I also love the sepia toned couples shots at the end. Nice work.
