Gina & Eric

Meet Eric & Gina. They were married at the Hilton in Lisle/Naperville on May 12th. I had such a great time shooting their wedding. We had originally planned to have Eric and Gina see each other beforehand, but everything ran late, so they went the traditional route and saw each other for the first time at the altar! So we had a lot of catching up to do afterwards. They were great though. My only goal at that point was to get them to their reception on time! Okay, I was really really close :) Here are some pictures of the day. We started out in their suite...which was a lot bigger than all of us thought it would be!










Then the girl at the front desk gave us a key to a top secret VIP location in the hotel...you needed to access it in the elevator with a key...tres chic!





And you can see how happy they are to have tied the knot!



Okay, and it literally took us longer to walk out to this little location on the side of the hotel than it did to take pictures. I think they were secretly happy to have a few minutes to themselves. Gina was great, walking in heels, down hills, trying to dodge goose poop. The pics came out great.









Okay, and I couldn't help but put this one on. This is my assistant Chris. During the reception, the song Cotton Eye Joe came on, and some of the guests saw him doing a little jig on the side of the dance floor, so they invited him out to strut his stuff. As you can see, Chris isn't shy. :)



Hope you all enjoyed the pics, feel free to leave comments!

Gina & Eric's Engagement Pictures

Last Saturday I had the pleasure of doing engagement pictures for Gina & Eric. We went to their hometown of Yorkville, and got some of the shots right in their own backyard! The weather in the Chicago area has been quite unpredictable lately, and of course, the day we picked, was not one of the better days. But Gina and Eric were great sports, and we had a really great time driving around the town. They're getting married in May, which is right around the corner. Anyways, here's a few pics from the day.
