I will be shooting Faith and Jeff's wedding on November 5th at the Augustana Chapel and Stoney Creek Inn.
It's great to back in the wedding season!
It was a cold, snowy day for this session at Vanderveer Park in Davenport for this engagement session! We had planned on doing part of the shoot in the Conservatory but it was closed that day. We did the session outside as long as we could handle and then improvised and went to The Rogalski Center at St. Ambrose University. Logan attended college there and met Anne on the campus near The Rogalski.

I have shot many weddings at The Rogalski center since it opened a few years ago, but this is my first engagement session!
I'm looking forward to a great wedding shoot with Anne and Logan! Thanks for having us capture your day!
A Fall Engagement Session
For the last part of this session we drove out to LeClaire, Iowa where Blake's family owns a beautiful piece of property on the Mississippi river on Route 67. I have drove by this location many times and admired the home sitting on a cliff above the lake. Little did I know I would someday be shooting one of my wedding couples there!
There are several lagoons with hills and rocky cliffs here...we walked through some low-lying bogs to get this nice reflection image above.
This image was shot at the Rock Island Arsenal Military base.

I am getting caught up on the fall engagement session posts and still need to share some portrait sessions! After that I can start sharing the winter engagement sessions.
Thanks!

I have set the date for my annual Chicago Engagement Session Shoot for May 14th! Any of our wedding or portrait clients are welcome to participate at no extra charge. The sessions will last about one hour at predetermined locations. I still have a few sessions open and they will be filled on a first-come-first-serve basis. Last year we had six couples participate and did sessions in Wrigleyville, Michigan Avenue, Gold Coast, North Avenue Beach, Theatre District, Grant Park, River Walk and Navy Pier. The weather was rainy and foggy last year in April and I'm hoping it will be nicer in May this year. Call the studio or email Rick if you are interested in joining us!
Here are a few of my favorites from last year's sessions:
Natalie and Andrew in the Theatre District
Jamie and Trevor in a small park behind the Wrigley Building and Tribune Tower.
Kelly and Jed in Grant Park.
Chrissy and Joey at the Wrigleyville Fire Station.
Emily and Tom near Michigan Avenue.
Heather and Jamie on the River Walk.

Jenna and Kevin will be married on September 10th, 2011 The ceremony will be at Riverside Methodist Church in Moline, and the reception will be at The University Club
Thank you Jenn and Kevin for great photo shoot and thank you for having me shoot your wedding day!
Mallory and Ben will be married on September 3rd, 2011
We started Mallory and Ben's Session at The Ben Butterworth Parkway in Moline. This is bench where Ben proposed to Mallory, which was a perfect place an engagement session!
Mallory made this sign for their save-the-date cards!
We shot this part of the session at Scwiebert Park in Rock Island at dusk.
It was almost dark out when I shot this image. I couldn't hand hold a 200mm lens and get the depth of field to make both the moon and Mallory and Ben sharp...so I shot for the moon. I still like the image!
Congratulations to Mallory for her new job at Deere & Company!

Thank you Mallory and Ben for a great photo shoot and I can't wait to shoot your wedding!
