The answer was a big yes when Tejash proposed to girlfriend Kaya in a downtown park. The future groom hired me to photograph his well planned surprise engagement on a recent Friday afternoon. A three piece band played Kaya's favorite song as the couple approached our designated spot. I was standing behind a tree to capture her expression and had a remote camera up on a hill to get another perspective of the moment.
Later, we returned to meet with family and friends to share the good news, then out for some engagement portraits. I'm usually working as a wedding photographer in Chicago but this will be a destination wedding.
Are you planning a surprise engagement or would like to get some great engagement portraits? If so, contact me here, I'd love to hear from you.

September 24th was an amazing day in Springfield, IL for the wedding of Meghan and Coltin. Back in December, I headed down state to shoot their engagement photos and we had a chance to meet for the first time, Meghan found me by searching google for wedding photographers in Chicago. While I was there, I had the opportunity to scope out many of the wedding locations, including Washington Park and The Rail golf course. The weather was fantastic and the scenery had a nice mix of fall colors. I met so many wonderful people that day and I'm happy to be adding wedding photographer in Springfield, IL to my resume.

With a great view of Millennium Park, the University Club of Chicago was a wonderful setting for the wedding of Whitney and Steve on July 9th. I've been working as a wedding photographer in Chicago for a long time but this was my first visit to the University Club. The wedding ceremony took place at St. Michael's Church in Old Town and we made several stops around town for wedding portraits.

The wedding of Cydya and Jamal took place on Saturday, August 27th at the Martinique in Burbank, IL. The weather was perfect for the outdoor ceremony and the reception followed in the ballroom. Later, I met the bride and groom at Buckingham Fountain for wedding portraits . We then made our way over to Millennium Park for 2011's most requested location. I was happy the father of the bride found me via a Google search of wedding photographers in Chicago. Congratulations to the bride and groom!
