The start of the 2116 Wedding Season is just around the corner! I can't wait. I am going to a wedding in Chicago at Old St. Pat's Church this Saturday and it's always a joy for me to be a guest at a wedding--even though I love photographing them! I love seeing how the weeks, months and maybe years of planning comes together for one, great day. I pay great attention to every detail--why did the bride choose that dress, those colors, those flowers, that venue??

Of all the weddings I have ever shot there are only a few that stand out in my mind. I wondered today if they had a common thread. Every wedding is unique and beautiful in it's own way, but when a bride and a groom exchange vows and all their friends and family share in that ceremony, there's an energy created. I think the weddings that stand out were the ones that had positive energy in common.
