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. What mattered was that they were getting married and nothing was going to stop them from having a ball in the process. This was an extra special … Read more
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

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
Cassie and Todd got married last weekend at the Knollwood Country Club in Lake Forest, Illinois. Vicki and I were lucky enough to have been the photographers for their fun-filled day. Cassie and Todd are one hell of a couple — the one thing that really struck me about them was just how much they … Read more
One of my wedding clients just canceled their wedding that is only 3 weeks away. At first, this seems pretty bad — think of all the guests, reservations, bookings, and money that has been spent planning this wedding — worse yet, what will people think of them! It turns out that during the planning of … Read more
