This weekend I got to second shoot with a fellow photographer and although the weather was a bit rough we got a few breaks in the day to create some amazing images. There was such an energy to this celebration I wanted to stay all night.
I don't have adequate words to say just how impressed I am with CVI. Lee and Mary Jones along with their executive chef Jonannes have created a truly unique experience. I felt like I was on set for a Food Network program! The food, the people and the overall experience of CVI are well worth the trip no matter where you are. Anyone care to join us there for Jenelle's b-day celebration in October ? She is going to love it !
Nicole and Eric are such a laid back fun couple, they were a pleasure to work with. Finally I got the opportunity to shoot at the church our family attends Hudson Community Chapel. The reception venue was also a first for me. Lake Forest County Club is a beautiful place here in town. I look forward to catching up with the couple when they get back.
So it is getting really close to what may be one of the most exciting weddings I will shoot. Chrissy and Onur will be getting married in May locally. Then in early June I will be traveling to Cesme, Turkey to shoot a second ceremony. Aside from the incredible opportunity to capture their wedding, I am also very excited to explore Istanbul. While in Istanbul I will be staying in the middle of everything, just steps away from the Blue Mosque, The Spice Market and Hagia Sophia. In early June be sure to watch the blog, I hope to make some posts while I am there.
Today I got together with a group of other local photographers for a little relaxation before the season kicks in. We also had a few willing models to shoot. It was cool to meet many new faces and see some of the regulars too. As a bonus to this get together we got a tour of the Simply Canvas facility. If you are a professional photographer be sure to check out the great products they provide. I really enjoyed getting a behind the scenes look.
I will be shooting their wedding in a few short weeks. With the great weather this weekend we were able to squeeze in their e-session. Can't wait until the wedding day.
Wow what a great spring day for this mornings shoot. Now I'm off to shoot an e-session for a wedding coming up in a few weeks. Those will be up by tomorrow.
