what a cool wedding!! the day started out with threats of storms all day long! have no fear… the rain gods let up right after the ceremony which allowed us to go and do all sorts of creative things. we had a blast and would have to say the best part of the day was getting yelled at for being on the train tracks… what would the day be without a little adventure. gotta love the chemistry between these two. congrats to the both of you and enjoy the honeymoon. napa is one of our favorite places!

megan, hats off to the staff at the chase. what a beautiful venue and great service.

finally something different at the arch! if you know us or have worked with us at all… you know we hate shooting in the typical locations… however, this time, going down to the arch was actually something we were all excited about – there are a ton of great shots from the bridal shoot – but these two just jumped out at me as unique and memorable – let me know what you think.

We are super excited to be going to Ireland this year to shoot an awesome couple! We will be at Castle Leslie where Paul McCartney got married. So… if you want to fly across the pond for some family pics… feel free to come join us! Just kidding. We will be soaking up the culture and history for sure.

So, expect some cool shots this July after we return. I am sure they will be pretty unique!

just shot recently… we tried to book the fox – which oddly enough… it is possible to shoot inside the fox – for a fee of course . which isn’t all that bad for a venue that has meaning to you and for these two, the fox has some meaning. hope you guys had a blast and your trip home was a good one! looking forward to the wedding.

so where were we tonight?? enjoying the wonderful birth of Chloe Mae Millonas! She was born 5 weeks early and is in a special care unit at the hospital. she is absolutely adorable and ready to take on the world! of course… we snuck into the room to take pictures.

well, i am finally getting a chance to finish up my chicago shoots – and this of course was another wet one. sometimes you just have to take what you get and make the most of it. these two got more wet than anyone else we shot up there – but they definitely had fun doing it… lots of kissing. love the umbrella one… and no… that wasn’t done in photoshop!

for any of my brides who have worked with me know… i love to play in traffic! i dont know why… maybe i feel at home coming from a big city… i just love putting a beautiful bride in a visually conflicting spot – it provides for great contrast… kristin was a great sport throughout the shoot and this was shot on friday in downtown chicago on a day where we had amazing weather!!

this shoot in particular required taylor to convince a grounds keeper in an upscale neighborhood in downtown to let us use a spiral staircase… we got 5min and bam… more great urban shots! enjoy.

what can i say guys – we had an absolute blast with you two! so glad we are getting the opportunity to work together – this is just the beginning… imagine what the wedding will bring.
