Annie & Kevin – One Frame from Chicago

We ended Annie and Kevin’s downtown Chicago engagement session by the shore at North Beach. “Beach” might not be the right name for it, but the timing was perfect. Silvers between building let the coral-colored setting sun find Annie & Kevin, alone at the shore. Below is just one frame. More will come on Monday. Enjoy and have a great weekend!

For the photographers, the above was shot on a Contax 645 with Portra 800 and developed by Richard Photo Lab, my favorite!

Diana & Andrew – One Frame

Today’s post will be very simple. Below is a single frame from Diana and Andrew’s bridal portraits, captured just a few weeks ago on film. The portraits are certainly a gift for Diana and Andrew, but also for Diana’s mother. I shouldn’t say why, but the gift for her mother is quite possibly the best gift ever. So, for today, something really simple –

For the technically minded, the above frame was captured using a Mamiya RB67 on Portra 160 and scanned by Richard Photo Lab.

Torri & Lucas – A Wedding at St. Clarence

I’ll start with a simple fact, with which I’m sure Torri and Lucas will agree – their wedding was never intended to be fancy. It wasn’t meant to be opulently detailed, filled with famous guests, or to feature the latest trends. Instead, Torri & Lucas’ wedding had a much more important goal – to be simply fun! They certainly accomplished their goal, and many more. Everyone had a blast and it was truly one of the funnest weddings I’ve attended.

While their guests weren’t famous, they were all family and close friends. In fact, there were nearly 300 close friends present to help Torri & Lucas celebrate. A big bridal party kept the fun going. The bridal party laughed, cried and danced with Torri and Lucas the entire day. One of my favorite moments was a sister who shed more than one tear during the ceremony. Speaking of family, Torri and Lucas are blessed with some of the nicest family you could imagine. In particular, Lucas and his dad shared some great moments throughout the day.

After all, isn’t a wedding really about the moments? Like the moment Torri’s dad saw her for the first time in her wedding dress. Or when Torri met Lucas for a “first look” before the ceremony. A kiss between mom and daughter on a small lawn overlooking the city. Or the moment Torri realized that her driver’s licence photo was being held aloft at the reception. Moments are what make a wedding, and Torri & Lucas are rich with them.

They are rich in each other too. Whenever I’m around them, I can feel the love. Their love is infectious, which likely explains the quality of their friends. I hope you can see the same below in some of my favorite highlights –
