Throwing back to my engagement session with Paige and Kunal when I fell in love with my Hasselblad 500cm. It's one of those cameras every photographer has dreamt of at some point, and I expected that it wouldn't live up to my expectations, but it more than exceeded them. It's a little slow, so I can only use it sparingly, but when I get the chance, it creates beautiful photos like this. So if you see me with a 50-year-old silver camera around my neck, just know that I'm in my happy place.
A well-designed tablescape is one of my favorite things to see at a wedding, and this one created by @lunasoireeevents for Maria and Patrick’s wedding is no exception. ✨
With the arctic winds swirling around Detroit today, I was remembering the last time I really froze during a wedding shoot, and it was actually this moment with Kelsey and Bobby in late October! Despite the warm sunset light and glowing skin tones, the three of us were essentially freezing to death on a rooftop in Chicago. But when you’re hanging on tight to the person you just vowed to spend forever with, even the harshest winds don’t seem so bad.
When your first wedding of the year has florals this beautiful, you can't help but be excited for what's to come. Congratulations Kayla and Jordan, and thank you so much for your beautiful work @everoursevents!
When your subject is a baby, it's helpful to be able to make a lot of animal sounds. I think it was my monkey impression that helped me get this great moment of Willa, Jackie, and Jake.🐒
When Chicago gives you blustery weather, the Art Institute is always there to provide warm tones and elegant architecture.
