are we lucky or what? just when we think our clients couldn’t get any cuter, any more stylish, any more lovin-all-over-each-other… we get to shoot lindsey&greg. we started our session at the fourth presbyterian church in downtown chicago. the architecture of the church itself is awesome, and there is this amazing little cloister right off of michigan ave. the ivy-covered stone walls, stained glass, and yummy (yes, yummy) light were all screaming “best spot for photos ever!” it also happens to be where greg asked lindsey to marry him. well played greg, well played.

from there we hit up such other awesome chicago photo locations as oak street beach, lincoln park, and our super-secret hidden grove of paradise.

lindsey&greg, you spoil us. don’t believe me? see below.

there’s two things that tony loves in this world more than anything. and that is comic books. and zombies. so you could pretty much say that it was fate that led the two of us to meet with meg&dan. as we were getting to know these two at our first meeting, we asked dan what his job was and he said these fateful words “i’m a comic book illustrator.” tony lit up like a 5 year old in a candy store.

“what kind of comic books do you illustrate?” tony asks.

“well, it’s about cowboys… and zombies.”

i kid you not - tony’s head almost exploded. as it so happens, dan is the illustrator for the series rotten (you can pre-order the trade book with the first 6 issues here! it’s out on august 10). he also has an online comic strip called beardo which is based on his life. it’s hilarious really. oh and did we mention he’s in a band? it’s called workhorse kings. you might want to check them out too.

phew - now that we got all that out. meg&dan are one of the most adorable couples of all time. we’re super excited about their wedding. mainly because we heard there might be a magician involved… i mean seriously - HOW COOL IS THAT?! we had a great time at their engagement session. meg even called in a favor to her uncle sim, so we got to shoot in and around engine 22 in lincoln park. (he even gave us a tour and showed us a bunch of really cool stuff about toxic chemicals. again, tony was in heaven.) so a big thanks to uncle sim!!

and without further ado, here’s a few photos.

sometimes, simple is the way to go. sara&eric had an amazing and intimate ceremony outside the adler planetarium surrounded by their close family and friends. first of all, the location is absolutely stunning. in one direction is the planetarium, and in the other - a stunning skyline view of the city. but the best part, is that sara&eric’s wedding was centered around one thing, and one thing alone - THEM! we were truly honored to have been included.

so congratulations you two! we couldn’t be happier for you!

i am so excited to show you guys these photos. we have been dying to shoot on goose island in chicago, pretty much since we moved here a whole year ago. (um, we’ve been in chicago a whole YEAR! that is CRAZY TALK!!) but goose island is filled with all sorts of urban grungy goodness. there are loading docks, and brick walls, and a rail car in the middle of the street. so basically - gina&tony disneyland.

so even though the sky was wee bit dark and you could hear distant sounds of thunder when amanda and greg pulled up, we went for it. and luckily the rain held out until the last 15 minutes. i can’t begin to tell you how much fun we had with these guys. their wedding this fall is going to be amaaaazing!!

ps - don’t you love how amanda matches our branding? i sure do!!




















there’s that heavenly glow of awesome again!
