Kristine and Adam

05.23.09  |  Weddings

I had a blast in Los Angeles shooting Adam and Kristine's engagement session and was really looking forward to the wedding.

When the day started, I was greeted by this guy...






Some getting ready shots...






The dogs were great! This dog has a job too.... He chases geese off golf courses. Crazy!






He also likes table scraps!






And their first meeting was in her parents front yard. Kristine also grew up in this house so it was perfect!











And her sister was ready to attack the veil. It was a bit too long so they did some crafty tailoring!
















And a note from the groom...






Kristine's mom and dad!






And then the pictures begin!











Some love for Homewood!
















I had to get this shot before we headed inside to check out the reception site...






The guys were getting ready...






And so was Adam...






And then we headed out for more pics!






I love this one!






Kristine and her twin!






And then we headed inside for the Ketubah signing...
















And the ceremony...




































And the party starts!






The first dance. I love the little dancing fairies on Adam's jacket.
















Attacking the 'AWESOME' cake.











Kristine's mother helped in collecting several blue and white vases for the reception.






Her sister gives a speech.






And Adam's brother does too. This was his impersonation of his brother!






Thanks to Lisa for this crazy crowd shot!!






Some craziness...











Melissa from Blue Plate!











Um, love it.
















This guy was not playing around on the dance floor!











Ha!
















The dancing was insane! They were dancing so hard they fell down... Crazy!











And the ring shot!






Thanks for a fun night and a CRAZY reception! It was a blast.

Lauren and Gabe

05.23.09  |  Weddings

We started the day at Lauren's grandmothers house. The day started off a little rainy but it ended up being a perfect day!






Her father wanted a 'tie check'.











Gabe's mother and friend...






Her grandma got caught fixing her hair!






This guy was waiting on the couple so that we could start photos...






I love this one....






This guy was part of their first meeting!






I love the kitchiness of the first meeting!






Gabe cleaning off some lipstick...






and kissing a gnome.






Their friend from Brooklyn had to get it on film too!






All of the helping hands! Had to make sure that the dress did not get dirty. Not sure what is going on with the other hand on Gabe!






Her grandmothers attic was amazing!






The car that they rented was pretty amazing too!






Some beautiful light...






And we arrived at UIC...






The wedding party joined us...











A quick drink before we take more pics...











The sun came out and Gabe got really excited...






and then he handed me a brick. I am still not really sure why??






I LOVED this location!






Are you kidding me!!?? I loved it.











We stopped at a bookstore that Lauren worked at on campus for a few shots...











Gabe gets attacked after picking on Lauren...






And the ceremony begins!






Bond Chapel still amazes me every time that I shoot there! Eddie got this great shot of Lauren and her father...
















Some great light from the stained glass windows!











She just could not contain the tears!






And the new couple...






It was not raining but Lauren and Gabe had to wear poncho's for what was about to happen...






Yes, we CLIMBED to the top of this chapel...






SCARY






And we stopped for a few shots. It was really dirty on the way up the winding staircase. They were told to cover up so that the dress and suit would stay clean.






This was at the very top. I am scared of heights!!! Anything for the shot, right?






And the frightening staircase.






I love Gabes 'we did it' shot!






Then we headed over to Woodlawn Tap in Hyde Park.






Gabe had to show off Lauren's shoe choice.






And then we headed back to the Newberry...






The food was waiting for them as soon as they arrived.






The first dance..






Some speeches!











And the dancing begins...





















Thanks for having me! Good times!!!

We went crazy with the photos! The weather was perfect and we had a blast. Amy and David...thanks for running all over the place and and making some really cool images with me. Hope you had fun!






Our first stop was the place that David asked her to marry him...











I had to show off the cool shoes...





















Some train shots...






The west loop...









































The Kinzie bridge is still one of my favorites!
















We headed near David's work to stop at 'What's The Beef'. The patio was great!
















A quick shot in front of their place...






and then we grabbed their bikes for some fun shots!






Hilarious.






And then we popped back out on the beach for some last minute shots...
















Thanks for spending your day with me! See you in a few weeks at the wedding.
