On the steps of the Field Museum for a full bridal party photo with the four ushers in the background! It’s my job as their wedding photographer to find the right light…the right composition…AND make sure everyone looks good!

Since the Field Museum has a lot of stone, I wanted to incorporate some nature in a wedding photo!

I love the strong horizontal lines and the perfect spacing of the bridal party in this photo!

Taking advantage of the Field Museum architecture…I’m a wedding photographer that loves symmetry, lines and architecture! It all comes together in this photo!

Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in Chicago 

For those that have never witnessed a Greek Orthodox wedding, there are a lot of traditions involved! Thanks to the Priests at Annunciation for allowing us to get these fabulous photos!

As a wedding photographer, I’m always trying to get the best angle and capture a photo at just the right moment!

As a wedding photographer, I get to see what the audience cannot…Julia may not have known ‘exactly’ what to do during one part of the ceremony! oops! =)
