Paul and Felicia’s wedding is coming up soon in San Francisco and they wanted to get some pre-wedding photos during their engagement session in one of their favorite cities. They brought an entire support team so they were able to make some wardrobe changes, and we were able to get around Chicago quickly. Here are some highlights from the evening’s photo session.

I photographed Mark & Marion’s engagement session last weekend on what was a cool spring day. They were great sports especially by the lake where we had a strong, cold lake breeze. We got a lot of great pictures and their personalities really show through. I can’t wait to photograph their wedding later this year. Check out some of my favorites from the day.

Miriam had her bat mitzvah ceremony and celebration at the Temble Beth Israel in Skokie. Here are some of my favorite images from the day.

Darren & Taylor had their engagement session in Chicago on Michigan Ave just after Thanksgiving. It got pretty cold that day but we were able to dart in and out of a few building to warm up—we got some wonderful photographs. They make a beautiful couple and were great sports to brave the cold Chicago weather. Here are just a few of my favorite images from the day.

Robby had his bar mitzvah at the Temble Beth Israel in Skokie with the party following right after. Here are a few of my favorite photographs from the day.

Jonathan had his Bar Mitzvah at Beth Hillel in Wilmette. I think it was pretty amazing that Jonathan was able to lead the entire service! Here are some of my favorite highlights.

Daniel & Amber were so much fun to photograph. They had their engagement session photographed at Museum Campus in Chicago which is one of my favorite spots. It offers everything from architecure, skyline, lake, boats, and even a beach. They were a fun loving couple as you can see from the photographs below.

Dan planned an amazing surprise birthday party for Dina at Capri restaurant in Downers Grove. To say she was surprised would be an understatement. Here’s a few pictures from the day.

It was really important to Michael and Ewa to get lots of wedding photographs of them in many of the classic downtown Chicago areas. We started off by the Wrigley building, tooks lots of photographs by the Chicago River, then strolled over to the Chicago Theatre. We finally ended up at the beach for what turned out to be a beautiful sunset and evening. Here are just a few of my favorite photographs from the day.

Christopher had his first communion at St Cyril in Lemont. All of the boys were sporting their best suits and the girls looked just adorable in their dresses. Here’s a few of Christopher.
