Last month I had the privilege to capture Sarah & Eddie’s Wedding in the southwest suburbs. Eddie was the Best man in a Brian & Megan’s wedding which I shot around this time last year! Even back then Eddie was tons of fun – he kept the whole bridal party laughing… which made my job all the easier! Sarah was a pleasure to work with – calm even amidst a stressful veil problem… which was all figured out in time… and she rocked out this amazing vintage veil… which I really wouldn’t know how to describe — just because I’m a guy. They had their reception at the Cog Hill Country Club which I loved right away. The dark wood inside made for a beautiful decor! Instead of describing it all, feast your eyes on their wedding’s epicness.

Katherine, Stephen and I met downtown a 7am on a bright Monday morning for what turned out to be one of the coolest downtown shoots I’v had in a long while… it was nice shooting without worrying about random other people walking in and out of the shots. The tourists were still having breakfast while we hit up some of chicago’s coolest landmarks.

A few weeks ago I shot a few pics of my good friend Chris’ daughters over at the Herrick Lake Forrest Preserve… as you might be able to tell… one of my favorite local forrest preserves!! Audrey, Beatrice, and even their dog charley were all full of smiles, giggles and occasional barks!

A little over a year ago I shot Megan’s sister’s wedding and I was psyched to hear she wanted me to tag along for her big day too!!! It’s always nice shooting familiar faces. Here’s a bit from their swank sauce wedding!!

Corey is a Chemistry buff and was proud to show off his periodic table cufflinks! So fly! haha

Well, here is a bit of a different wedding…

Derek (one of my roommates for the past couple of years) just got hitched in Germany last month to the German love of his life – Maren. Small detail they needed to attend to was the whole legal thing… in the eyes of the state they were doig the concubine thing But now, they’re legit! haha…

We went and picked Derek up during his lunch break and shot off to the Dupage County Court to get em hitched (again).  Here are a few stills I shot of the event…

And Since I was shooting with the 5d mkii, I took the liberty to capture a bit of HD video of the big moments… Enjoy the video (or don’t).
Watch it on Vimeo for the full HD bliss.

Just as a sidenote, that is the most roles I’v ever had in a wedding: Groomsman (witness), photographer, and videographer… That must score points for Gryffyndor.
