Shoots: Movies

Where do you shoot when it’s 2 degrees outside?

Megan and Matt were married last winter. I was just preparing a few of their images and couldn’t help but post their movie. 3 stories of window light at the hotel was a dream come true. We shot a good portion of the girls right in the main lobby of the hotel. Marilyn, the wedding planner from, Honey Bee Weddings even helped out a bit holding one of my video lights!
Megan and Matt had their ceremony at Holy Name Catholic Church and the reception was at the Murphy Auditorium.

A little time in a Rolls Royce

Candice and Sidney had both their ceremony and reception at the Ivy Room in Chicago. It truly has ivy running up all the courtyard walls. What a cool place for cocktail hour!

Although I almost fell out of the Rolls Royce that took us around town, it was of course a great addition to their images. I worked with two of my favorite people at the wedding, Chrissy from Big City Bride and the always an adventure, Jason Groh, from Lexoria Wedding Films.

One more highlight that I can’t forget, a bar of freshly made waffle bowls overflowing with Coldstone Ice Cream. Have I mentioned my love for all things sweet?

Tanja and Tony at my favorite hotel

When I met with Tanja and Tony a year ago I told them I couldn’t wait to shoot at the W City Center in Chicago. This was my first time shooting wedding pictures there but I knew it would instantly be a favorite spot. Even Tanja’s room provided great window light for her getting ready pictures. Thank you Tanja for putting up with me before the wedding. We used the main lobby, the upstairs, a hallway and even stopped in the bar for a few pictures before all the girls headed for the trolley.

Enjoy the show…
