JOHN AND ALLISON

John and Allison were married at Honky Tonk’s Secret Garden in Pilsen and I was the lucky dude that photographed it. We started out at their place, where they had their first looks of each other and then we paraded on down to the Garden where the guests were already waiting to witness this union. It was great! They kissed under an explosion of confetti, dined and danced into a sweaty frenzy. This was such a cool and unique wedding and I’m honored to have been a part. Way to go John and Allison! Thanks for having me!

FRANK AND KEVIN

I’ll be photographing Frank and Kevin’s wedding in a couple months so we met up at their place to get to know each other a little better and to give ‘em a taste of what it’s like to have a camera continually pointed at them. All was fun and successful! I captured them in their natural state of Sunday relaxation. That involved some tea drinking, couch lounging, studying up on their professions (Frank’s a hair dresser and Kevin is a podiatrist.) and general goofing around. After checking out their awesome rooftop view of Chicago’s South Loop, we headed down to Pilsen to grab a few pics in front of one of their favorite murals. These gents are a lot of fun to hang around with and I know that their wedding will be a blast!

KATE AND DAVID’S WEDDING

Kate and David were married on a warm and sunny Saturday evening in the hidden gardens of Honky Tonk BBQ. The ladies popped some champagne and prettied up while the dudes kozzied some cold beers and suited up. It was now that time! Guests and family mopped up the joyful tears that streamed from their eyes as Kate elegantly walked down the aisle. Vows and looks of love were exchanged under the ceremonial Chuppah and it was time to break the glass. There was no glass within reach so David bolted past the congregation and vanished for a few suspenseful seconds. He quickly emerged with a plastic tumbler and shouted “Plastic’s okay, right?” Nobody seemed to mind so under the foot of David went the plastic cup. Mazel Tov indeed! After the ceremony, a few signature cocktails were served and on came an incredible spread of Honky Tonk’s finest meats and sides. After dinner the couple was welcomed and toasted into their new marriage. Then they sauntered and swayed their way around the lawn as they danced for the first time as a married couple. Rebecca, from Toast and Jam, laid out the hits and got everyone on the dance floor…I mean lawn. The drinks flowed and out came the sparklers. Guests danced, laughed, played with fire and wrestled furniture. I dragged Kate and David out in front for a few more quick photos before the party ended. This was such a fun party at a really unique spot with some awesome folks. Thanks for asking me to shoot!
