Chicago Wedding Photography | Kara and Blake

Wedding Reception – Exmoor Country Club
700 Vine Avenue | Highland Park, Illinois | 847-432-3661

Post by David – You just kind of know it’s going to be one of those happy kind of days when you show up and the first thing that greets you is a dog in a tutu. It just sort of sets the stage for the rest of the day. It was a day filled with tearful bridesmaids and emotional toasts and speeches. It was highlighted by a bull running bridesmaid, a sunset glinted dinner, people on shoulders and dancing until the sweat drips like running water. People danced until we couldn’t help but join in. Kara and Blake’s wedding was just one of those days. The kind of days we’ll never forget and a couple we’ll remember forever.icon smile photo

A special little thanks to Aneesha and Kirk for recommending them to us through Kelly (one of Aneesha’s bridesmaids and Kara’s cousin).icon biggrin photo

Indianapolis Engagement Session | Emilyn and Cody

Post by David – Emilyn and Cody heard about us through Anna and Braden, who had one of our favorite outdoor weddings, so we knew these two were going to be awesome to work with. We headed down to Indianapolis and met Emilyn and Cody at Arsenal Tech High School where they both used to teach. They live in New York now so this was something very special for the both of them. The surrounding grounds were filled with beautiful flowers, brick walls, and wrought iron fences covered in vines. We ran around all over the place with these two and they had no trouble keeping up with us. Then we all piled into our new Subaru Forester (they were the first ones we used it with – yay!) and after an outfit change we headed downtown to the canals and shot along the water as the sun went down. These two were totally in cahoots with our special blend of silliness and kept laughing the whole shoot. We cannot wait for their wedding next year in Bloomington, Indiana and look forward to seeing them again!

Much Love,

Natalie and Matt | IU Auditorium – Bloomington, Indiana

Post by David – “I don’t think I’ll cry,” said Matt with an honest look on his face. “No,” he continued, “I think it’ll probably be her that cries.” To which one of the groomsmen looked me dead in the eye and said, “He’ll cry.” True to the groomsman’s word, and also to Matt’s, they both cried up at the alter. They were both so happy and excited to be there and it seemed that the rule of the day was that if you’re about to cry you should make yourself laugh. Natalie and her bridesmaids laughed a lot during her ceremony.icon biggrin photo

There was more laughter at the reception too. It was an evening filled with heartfelt toasts and lots and lots of dancing. We were also happy to see our friend Chad there with the FreezeFramez Photobooth and couldn’t help but snap a couple photos of … people taking their photos? Does that count as cheating?icon biggrin photo

By the end of the night we were exhausted but so excited about the photos we were able to capture throughout the day. Thanks Natalie and Matt for making our jobs easy, for having so much fun and enjoying your day with every ounce of your energy. We wished the night could have gone on longer and if you guys are ever up for more photos, you know who to call.icon wink photo

Larin Nelson - Nat & Matt – these pictures are GORGEOUS!!!!! I LOVE them ALL!!! My favorites are the one with the red seats in the auditorium and the one in the trees – it looks like a fairy tale pictures :)

naomi chokr - oh amazing pictures once again! i really love your reception pictures. How are you able to freeze the images the way you do. Would you be able to share what settings you start out with in your camera, OCF and On Camera Flash if you have one. I’m still struggling with this and find that I’m starting at around iso 1000 then i’ll go up and down as needed. f3.5, 160 to 125 shutter and both my flash is on 1/8. i dont think im getting results like yours. i get a lot of ghosting.

thank you!!

Amy Tabak - Gorgeous! Great job you two :)
