Congratulations Lindsay + Dan!

Photobucket

Lindsay and Dan tied the knot at Naperville's gorgeous St. Peter & Paul church, then we headed over to the senic Riverwalk for a few photos before making it to White Eagle Country Club just in time for cocktails where everything was gorgeous and decked out in yellow and purple flowers with lemon accents! What a gorgeous wedding, couple, and day!

The Dark Knight

Photobucket
Yesterday I worked the red carpet for the exclusive Chicago premiere of the new Batman movie at Navy Pier! Gary Oldman, Michael Caine and Director Christopher Nolan were all there to celebrate and greet the press. Photobucket
I was there working for HOLLYWOODCHICAGO.COM, an amazing site that delivers daily film, theater and entertainment news with a focus on Chicago. Photobucket
Go to their site to check out a 35 image slideshow of my images at the premiere by clicking here!Photobucket Also make sure to check out Adam Fendelman's review of the movie on HOLLYWOODCHICAGO.COM, sounds like a flick you don't want to miss!Photobucket

Tiffany + Garrick's Engagement

Photobucket
Had a fun engagement shoot with Tiffany and Garrick around a few of my favorite classic Chicago spots, along the river and our lovely Millennium Park.
Photobucket
Garrick has a pretty sweet job, he is the quarterback coach for Arkansas! (He was an amazing quarterback for Oklahoma and also coached at Northwestern.)
Photobucket
The first photo here was my idea under the man and woman signs, but Garrick had the idea for the next photo- look at his mischievous grin!
Photobucket
How cute are these two?! And I loved Tiffany's blue dress and gorgeous jewelry! She has such great energy and just lights up a room.
Photobucket
She can even get Garrick to burst into laughter and show off his adorable dimples!
Photobucket
Tiffany and I could have stomped around the city all day, but I think Garrick was ready for a break. I had to give him credit though- it was a hot day and he was such a trooper -and somebody had to put the breaks on us!
Photobucket
I had such a fun shoot with you guys and congratulations again on your engagement!!! Can't wait to share the rest of the photos :) Kris
