Josh Cool and cloudy, that was the weather of the day. Sad and gloomy, that was the mood of the morning as Chris and Rachel had to put their pet dog of 13 years to rest. It’s a sad day when a friend leaves you, and my heart goes out to them. My dog is nine … Read more
Yup, it’s that time again. A while back I was experimenting with a technique called reverse lens macro and this is one of the images I came up with. It’s a peppercorn at the macro level.
A lot of people ask me why I shoot weddings. My first answer is always “because everybody is so happy!”. It’s true, I love the atmosphere at weddings, but there’s another reason why I love weddings so much — it’s watching the look in the eyes of the bride and groom as they look at … Read more
I took this one in June when I got my new 17-35 f/2.8 lens. The location is next the the pavilion on the North side of Monona Bay in Madison. I’ve done some post work to this image to make it look like it was taken at night.
Mike and Angie just got married, and it was a day to remember. It didn’t matter that the weather wasn’t cooperative, they hardly blinked an eye at it.

We’ll see how long I can keep this up for, but starting now, I’m going to post a random image from my archives every Friday. To kick things off, here’s an image I took last weekend while stumbling around after the Gourmet Taste of Chicago (the wine was really really good).
Chicago is one of my favorite cities and this past weekend I got the chance to photograph Laura and Adam’s wedding downtown at the Cultural Center (with post-pics at Millennium Park). The short time I spent with them was a blur of smiles, laughs, and good food. The two of them were super-easy to photograph … Read more
A week ago or so, I met with Valerie and Nathan to go over the details of their wedding day. We were talking about how nice the weather had been for nearly 4 straight weeks and were wondering how long it would last (hopefully it would last long enough for their outdoor wedding). Well, luck … Read more
Cory and Jessica are all set to be married. They’ve got the ceremony and reception all planned out, they’ve got dresses and tuxes and all that shnazzy stuff, and now they’ve got some fun engagement pictures too! We took a stroll down State Street in Madison today and had a blast taking pictures. The great … Read more
Back in May, I did an engagement session with Cara and Darren. It was a sunny, beautiful day in Madison. This past weekend, I photographed their wedding, and again it was a sunny beautiful day in Madison. This leads me to believe that they are just one happy, sunny couple! Here are some of the … Read more
