Christopher dips Kelly for a kiss on the wonderful staircase in the Rookery Building, one of Chicago's architectural gems built by Daniel Burnham in 1888, and lobby remodeled by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1905. It is thought to be the oldest standing high-rise building in Chicago.

A glancing shot of the engagement ring on the way to the ceremony. Very shiny, very sparkly.

Jeannie and Nick actually met at a Halloween party, and wanted to somehow incorporate that significance into their wedding. They had the brilliant idea to transform their reception at the Knickerbocker Hotel into a masquerade ball, which was a big hit with their guests. They hid Venetian masks under the chairs and about midway through the reception the groom announced the surprise theme during his thank you speech. It was certainly a night everyone will remember.

Creative bride Jeannie found inspiration for her reception in writer Truman Capote's masquerade parties from the 1950s and 1960s:
Mia Farrow and Frank Sinatra - from For Those About To Shop
A masked Truman Capote, from Apartment Therapy
Capote's 1966 Masquerade Ball at the Plaza Hotel, NYC, (that's Candice Bergen behind the bunny mask) - from Apartment Therapy
Nissa and Mike got married at the Cuneo Mansion and Gardens and not too long after their wedding they moved to South Korea where they are journalists and teaching! This is one of our favorite "kiss" portraits with the beautiful mansion in the background. The estate was recently donated to my alma mater and is now part of Loyola University.
All this month we've been looking back at some favorites from years past as we celebrate three decades in business this year.

We hope everyone is enjoying Memorial Day Weekend, and that we all take a moment to remember why we observe this holiday. In honor of all who serve in the military (and this weekend, we remember those who gave their lives), today our Daily Photo features husband and wife Iraq veterans, Margaret and Zach. Their family, with many Lieutenants, Colonels, Majors and Generals really knew how to celebrate a great day in this couple's life. It was an honor for us to photograph their wedding at Holy Name Cathedral and reception at Maggiano's. Thank you to all the brave people who serve, past and present!

A favorite moment right before Gabrielle and her grandfather entered Howes Chapel on Northwestern University campus. Grandpa walked through the same chapel doors with Gabrielle's mom years ago. So sweet.

Today we feature another necklace, but this one comes from ancient times. The Greek and Egyptian wedding of Anna and Rami combined their rich heritage and wedding traditions from both sides. The ceremony was performed in three languages and the reception was filled with lots of dancing and historic customs, including this beautiful coin necklace worn by the bride.

Very shiny. Very sparkly. Like Rainman, we're drawn to take pictures of the the lovely sparkly and shiny details of our brides' dresses and accessories. Many visitors to our studio comment on this beautiful necklace that bride Anne wore on her wedding day. It is unique, yet a classic, and one of our favorites as well.

For years I had no idea what a Vegemite sandwich was (thanks Men at Work), until we were lucky enough to photograph the Australian + American wedding of Jeremy and Michelle at the Adler Planetarium.

I guess I missed this episode of Pop Up Video, which explains the mystery that is Vegemite.
Christian and Claudia were also a couple that knew how to party. They held one of our most memorable receptions ever by including guests in the entertainment by giving everyone the chance to be the lead singer of Live Band Karaoke. Needless to say, this reception rocked!

We were sad to hear Barn of Barrington closed a few months ago. It was such a cool event space. The ring boy at this wedding hammed it up for us around the carousel horses.

We had to blow the dust off this one going back a few decades. What a cool limo driver, and those boots are a hoot. We always meet interesting people working at weddings.
