This out-of-state couple had their ceremony and reception at the 63rd Street Beach House in Chicago. It was a gorgeous day for a wedding!
Before the ceremony we took a party bus down Lake Shore drive and headed for the Planetarium. There were several stops along the way to some usual haunts for some fun photos with the bridal party.
When we were at the Planetarium we spotted a guy doing handstands a few feet away from us. He agreed to be in some photos showing off his technique. Not to be outdone, one of the groomsman showed off his skills as well! It was a hoot!
These guys were soooo much fun, the images on this blog are just a small sampling of the different things they did for me. It was obvious that they had all been best friends for many years, and they egged each other on throughout the day.
The night time was just the right temp, as they danced & partied in the open air venue.
We are blessed to have such fabulous couples, and wish them all the best!

Last year we photographed 3 members of this family, and have been waiting till the other 2 came to town to round out the session.
Their oldest daughter and hubby live out of state, and came to town for the holidays. Luckily for us the weather was gorgeous the last few days of 2011. It was chilly but the sunny weather made up for it. We had been expecting snow and had talked about a snowball fight at the of the session. Next time!

A sneak peek from a portrait photo shoot last week in Naperville, Il. Thank you unseasonable December weather! This is a great example of why we love to go outside the studio and use the world as our backdrops.
