Destination Wedding Photographer

Oct 25

Over Labor Day weekend I was in the Midwest to shoot a wedding for a good friend. I spent the week in Chicago with another friend and took advantage of meeting some photographer buddies for a shoot!

Kayleen and I met on Myspace and she is a photographer from Rockford, IL. She was married last year and always wanted to have a trash the dress shoot! We met in Millenium Park in downtown Chicago. I brought along an old photog friend that I met at a Women in Photojournalism conference years and years ago, Tina Wagner.

The Bean. Can you spot me??

Gotta love parking garages!!

This is actually a fountain thing in Millenium Park. It shoots water out and changes backgrounds, as you will see below.

A shot of Tina getting her own angle!

The crew: Tina, Kayleen, me and Kayleen’s mom (who made a great assistant!)

I had such a blast that day, thanks for being such a trooper in that heavy dress, Kayleen! It was great to finally meet you!!

Alison + Rob

Wow, what an amazingly beautiful wedding! Alison and Rob were married on August 16, 2007 (a Thursday!) at the Grand Tradition in my hometown of Fallbrook, CA.

It was a warm day, but nothing could wipe the smiles off of Rob and Alison’s faces.

Her beautiful gown:

Zipping Alison up!

The stunning Alison:

The handsome Rob:

Exchanging of rings:

A different take on the ring shot:

I love this one. My favorite of the day

Yum!

Grand exit!

Thank you to Alison, Rob and their lovely families. Jen and I had a great time at the wedding!

Enjoy your slideshow!

Junior + Angela

On Friday August 17, I second shot for my good buddy Jen in Riverside. It was the wedding of Angela and Juan (better known as Junior). They were great sports, willing to pose any way we asked them to, without complaint!

This was in the middle of the ceremony, so funny!

Carolina + Anthony

On July 20th, I assisted Michele of Captured Forever at Anthony and Carolina’s Wedding. It was held at the Bahia in Mission Bay. I love this location, it has such a romantic feel!

Isn’t she beautiful?

Last minute touch ups:

Bling bling!

The best part about assisting others is that I can spend the time experimenting with lighting techniques. Here I used an off camera flash to creat some dramatic lighting on each of them. What do you think?

Kika + Jeff

Kika and Jeff were married July 28th, 2007 at the Bali Hai Restaurant in San Diego. These two are so in love and it shows in how they look at each other. Kika’s family flew up from Brazil for the big day!

Thank you two so much for the great day that Michele and I got to spend with you. You are such a beautiful couple, here’s to many years of happiness!
