Weddings in Winter
OK, so I tend not to be called upon all that often to photograph weddings at this time of year. It is winter in Chicago, after all. This does give me some time for other business-related pursuits (golf is out as well, unfortunately) — like searching for a new studio space. After much work and reviewing the options available, I think I should be able to come to a final decision fairly soon.
I’m still going to be in the Northbrook area, regardless of which of the possibilities I select. It’s going to be nice to have some more working space!
Abby and Adam
It isn’t usually my first choice to shoot outside in December, but this one worked out really well! It’s also great to try some locations other than the downtown Chicago favorites. Downtown Wheaton was decorated nicely for the holidays, and it was my goal to capture that aspect for Abby and Adam. A fortuitous snowfall the night before (and throughout the day) helped out. Bringing a change of clothes for my evening corporate holiday party shoot turned out to be a good idea — wearing wet jeans all evening would have been unpleasant.
Decorating Ideas
Have some serious coin to spend on non-permanent decorations? I have two words for you: sugar sculptures. These were some pretty sweet (!) decorations at a corporate party I photographed recently. I am told that they were made by the head pastry chef at the Hyatt Regency Chicago, who apparently has made some appearances on the Food Network. It’s no surprise why, they were pretty impressive works of art.

The 5000 Calorie Show
There are trade shows for just about everything nowadays — photography is no exception. While I won’t be able to make it to Arizona to attend the PPA (Professional Photographers of America) show this year, last month I did shoot a pretty darn interesting one right here in Chicago.

Kera and Scott
I’m photographing Kera and Scott’s wedding next year, but we had a great engagement session last weekend. It was one of those days where you weren’t sure if the weather would cooperate, but the rain did hold off long enough to get some great shots.

What’s With Those?
You might have noticed some interesting images in my portfolios and wondered what’s up with them. You know, the ones that just seem to be a different flavor of black and white, or even something like the one to the left.
Fun at Joliet Union Station.
