Nicole and James, Water Tower at Michigan Ave.

Nicole and James' wedding was so intimate and beautiful. Only their siblings attended their ceremony in front of the Water Tower on a gorgeous Chicago Fall day. I felt like a kid in a candy store with them, such a gorgeous couple and so willing to do whatever I wanted. I couldn't resist taking them to the Presbiterian Church on Michigan and Delaware. This is one of my favorite places in Chicago to photograph couples followed by all the fabulous designer stores along the magnificent mile. It was Giorgio's turn to be the stage for the fantastic images we created together. Thank you Nicole and James for letting me create your memories, I knew from the first moment I talked to you that I had to do this wedding. I can't wait to show you the rest!

Amanda and Andy, Danada House, Naperville

Amanda and Andy's wedding was so close to my heart. Andy is one of my best friends and I was so thrilled when he and Amanda chose me as their wedding photographer and actually picked their wedding day around my schedule. Or may be Andy knew I would stop talking to him if he didn't have me as his photographer! I like the first choice better! Any way, talking about getting my way and they couldn't say no to anything I asked them to do, including protraits at a smelly barn, or having Amanda laying on the floor at the reception hall!
Andy and Amanda, you are just unbeliveable and I want you to know that it was the greatest gift to allow me to photograph your wedding and your future family addition :). I love you guys!

Lindsay and Leo, The Stonegate at Hoffman Estates

What do you get when you put together a Polish Designer, a Greek family and a Russian Florist? You get a totaly elegant, amazing, fun wedding! I had the privilege of photographying Lindsay and Leo's wedding on a beautiful September day. Lindsay helped me design my condo which many of you already know. I was totaly amazed by her own place, designed to the last spoon! So you can imagine all the design that went into her wedding! From the bride's maid dresses, flowers and invitations to her outstanding designer wedding dress and culminated with her receptin hall. I couldn't resist honoring Lindsay's talent by photographing her surrounded by her own creation, her master bathroom and livingroom! She combined her talents with Yanni and Tara, from Yanni Design Studio, to put together the most amazing reception hall I've ever seen. Lindsay wanted this Oscar-night look with spotlights illuminating each table and the result was truly a dream. As for Leo, well, what can I say, he's Greek and Greek weddings are the most fun to be at! Family and friends and especially his groomsmen wouldn't stop laughing and having a good time. I definitely enjoyed my time creating your images guys, can't wait to show you the rest!
