I photographed Justin and Brook’s engagement session recently at ISU which is where they both first met several years ago. This was a first me, and as you can see the campus has a great backdrop for engagement photos. Justin and Brook were a blast to photograph and I’m really looking forward to the wedding! Here are just a few of my favorites from the day.

Mark & Marion had a beautiful wedding ceremony at Holy Trinity Church one of Chicago’s most historic cathedral style churches. The arcitecture of the church was just amazing. After driving to Lincoln park and union stations for some photographs we headed to Concorde Banquets for the party. Mark & Marion are both amazingly genuine and made me feel like a friend at their wedding. It was truly a pleasure to photograph you both and congratulations on your wedding! Here are a few highlights.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Last Sunday was the annual Palos Meltdown mountain bike race held at the Palos Forest Preserves. It had everything from kids races, first timers, and all the way up to experts. Jake managed to come in third place in his age class! As for myself—let’s just say I had a lot of fun in the comp class. Here are some highlights.

There are a lot more images from the first timer’s novice class, and comp class start over at Meltdown Gallery
