I had the pleasure of photographing a very elegant wedding in an unique place called Polo Cafe. Jenna and Rogelio’s wedding was exceptionally fun yet very intimate! Congratulations!

Polo Cafe was a neat choice! “This is one of the City’s hidden treasures.”

Shamoon and Annie tied the knot on August 22, 2009! It was a beautiful and fun filled wedding! From the flag football at Botanic Gardens to the very last dance… Congratulations you two!!

Dreams for Kids is a non-profit organization that encourages children of all abilities and backgrounds to follow their dreams. Founded by Tom Tuohy in 1989, this organization has many programs that allow these children to take part in activities, where they are united and motivated to believe in themselves.

On August 11, 2009, I had the great pleasure of being part of the Twin Lakes Event, “Extreme Recess.” It was amazing, to say the least, to be a part of such a great group of people. There is no combination of words that can express such a day, full of exciting happenings! All the challenging water activities strengthened the children’s beliefs that they could do anything…

I encourage you all to find out for about Dreams for Kids, and to participate in their events!

Summertime in Chicago is the perfect place to get married! There are so many places for amazing wedding photos!! Congratulations to both couples!!!
