Adam and Laura E-Session

January 7, 2010

After I shot Adam and Laura’s proposal they told me they were interested in doing an engagement session during thanksgiving break. I was very happy to oblige! :-)

He and Laura had a ton of great ideas for photo locations, so I drove out to Marengo / Belvidere and worked my magic for a few hours. Luckily the weather improved from a cloudy and rainy Thanksgiving week to sunny and mild during the weekend. It started to get cold during magic hour, but Adam and Laura were troopers — and we got to take most of the photos we had planned out. Thanks guys!

Matt and Jenny Proposal

November 22, 2009

Everyone’s getting married! Another one of the brothers from my fraternity, Matt (who graduated a little while back), came down from Chicago to propose to his girlfriend at the spot by an illiosk on the quad that they used to meet at after class. Scottie let me know about it the night before and thought that it would be a cool idea to creep on them through my lens like I did with Adam. However, we had no idea when they were coming or how they were going to be positioned. Nonetheless, it was still a really neat little moment to see from 50 yards away. I wish I had been creeping from a closer spot, and at a better angle, but such is life.

On Halloween my friend Adam took his girlfriend to Allerton Park for a scavanger hunt. Little did she know that it was really a setup for him to propose to her. :-)

Bezdon/Ives Wedding

July 6, 2009

So my friends Kyle and Lauren finally got married and I made the trek out to Rockford for the reception. I had a lot of fun and got to see a lot of my friends from school in the middle of summer for once. This is the first reception I’ve been to solely as a guest since I started doing photo gigs professionally so it was a little weird for me to figure out what boundaries I should or should not cross. I tried my best to not be a creepo and take a billion shots of everything like I normally do at weddings, and let the hired photog do her job (although, I was pretty peeved when I saw her using the Live-View function on her 40D instead of the viewfinder for ’standard’ shots. C’mon!). Anyhow, it was an awesome time, we rocked out to Michael Jackson, Cha-Cha slide, and the usual SPD fanfare.
