Tuesday, February 2, 2010 at 04:44AM What started out being a business relationship with Courtney at Chicago Social ended up being a great friendship. I just can't say enough about these two. They were so great to work with. We can't wait to shoot their wedding!
Monday, January 18, 2010 at 08:17PM So I know I just posted our snowstorm couple and said that it was one of the coldest days we have ever photographed, I lied! January 2nd was definitely the coldest day yet, since the wind was blowing about 50 mph that day on the water.
Our couple, Alyson and John, did not even hesitate, even though to be honest, I did! We found this spot a month before, knew it would be amazing, but had no idea it would turn out like this! We wrapped Alyson in a fur blanket, powered up our Q-Flash's, put on our gloves, hand warmers in place, feet planted in the ground and VOILA!
Probably one of my favorite images to date, now I really need to book a wedding in Iceland..Anyone??
Sunday, January 17, 2010 at 05:13PM Sometimes all it takes are two beautiful people and the largest snowstorm DC has seen in 20 years. Well on December 19th, that is what happened! When we got up that morning we were wondering how this was all going to go down, but it did, without a hitch and probably one of the most beautiful and fun filled weddings we have ever photographed.
Now mind you, we did not have the opportunity to spend hours outside, on location, as we normally do. Five minutes and we were all freezing and soaked to the bone, but that did not stop us from getting some really gorgeous portraits of two very willing and stunning people.
I wanted to post two excerpts from this wedding, the first being a few simple portraits. I know that we are known for dramatic skies, over the top prop set ups and insanely prepared environmental images, but there is something to be said about a still, perfect portrait. The connection and intense passion between Philippe and Alessandra was beautiful to witness and we could not have been more fortunate to have a perfect snowfall as a backdrop.
The entire wedding was a success with the amazing Michele Hodges at the helm and Bob Michael from the Fairmont this wedding was perfectly executed.
Thank you Philippe and Alessandra for sharing this day with us. We have another Mr. and Mrs. session with them this spring and we are so looking forward to it, I mean, look at them!!
Stay tuned for the second post surrounding all the amazing events and details!
